Chapter 1477: Chapter 909: Luminous Stone and Crystal (Part 2)

This one sentence made Fingerley feel as if he had never fought such a prosperous battle before. Can the entire clan of Elf Magicians come to help!?

Ah, no, wait, that’s the "notorious" Elf Clan. A normal person like Vienma would be considered the most old-fashioned relic among them. Would including those Divinely gifted Elves in his battle plan really help?

"I’m also a bit interested in that White Dragon," Turci said, pulling out a notebook so thick it could be used as a weapon, its pages flipping on their own without wind, finally settling on a page with an illustration.

On that paper was a drawing of a large hat. No, upon closer inspection, it was a person sitting cross-legged wearing that big hat.

"Big Hat Logan, the rarest hidden mentor in the Magic Academy, until now, no one has ever had the privilege to become his student at the Tutor Hat."

Turci suddenly began to introduce him.

"The reason we know of his existence is because someone in the Magic Association obtained a scroll recording Crystal Magic in the Sain Dungeon a long time ago, with two kinds of Crystal Magic hidden within: [Tracking Soul Block] and [Crystal Magic Weapon], both of which mentioned this person."

"But at that time, our Magic Association had not yet realized the value contained in Crystal Magic and did not focus on researching it until the Magic Academy rose, and the association began to study Crystal Magic, finally discovering Big Hat Logan was far more legendary than imagined."

Turci waved her hand across the air, flipping through the notebook, the pages showcasing her research results on Crystal Magic, the densely packed text just looking at it was astonishing.

"There is an extremely low probability that information related to Big Hat Logan will be obtained within the Magic Academy. Occasionally, someone will find clues associated with him in the Endless Reincarnation, and all those pieces of information mention his ’pursuit’ of White Dragon Heiss."

"It seems that Big Hat Logan’s magical achievements are inextricably linked to White Dragon Heiss."

The reason the Magic Association chose to join this time was to seek more advanced Crystal Magic wherever White Dragon Heiss is located.

The pursuit of unknown magic is precisely the most compelling reason for Magicians to take action. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Besides that, there is another factor prompting the Magic Association to join this exploration.

Hades voluntarily removed his luminous stone mask, revealing a brutally fierce face.

"You are...?"

Seeing his face, Fingerley was momentarily shocked.

Because on that face, a few finger-sized crystals had grown!

At first, he thought Hades had fallen into the same trap in the Duke’s Library, but after a closer look, he realized the crystals growing on him were different from his own.

The crystals on his body were merely pure blue crystal clusters, exactly like the ones controlled by White Dragon Heiss.

The crystals on Hades’ body, however, had a slightly murky texture, presenting a color biased towards green, with a hint of blue mixed in, and these two distinct colors showed a subtle trend of merging at their points of contact.

"What is this?" he couldn’t help but ask.

Hades smiled wryly, shaking his head as he said, "This is the price of over-exploring the forbidden."

Subsequently, Turci took over and explained to Fingerley the reason for the formations on Hades’ body.

"Ever since meeting the Full Moon Queen, Hades shifted his research focus upon returning to the association to Radiant Stone Magic from the Sain Dungeon, achieving some achievements that he himself considers insignificant."

What the Magic Professor considers insignificant would probably be worth a fortune outside.

"After learning that excessive research into Radiant Stone Magic would turn the body into a Magician’s Ball, he and the other Magicians maintained rationality during their research, not continuing with any risk...but you know, curiosity can kill the Magician."

Turci sighed.

"The Crystal Magic in the Sain Dungeon brought us a groundbreaking idea—the ultimate product of soul condensation is crystallization. This might achieve incredible effects by combining Soul Magic and Radiant Stone Magic, so we conducted experiments..."

She proceeded to spill a stream of academic terminology that Fingerley couldn’t understand, leaving this Gold-level Adventurer with a puzzled expression.

Though Fingerley couldn’t understand, he could gather what had happened by the end.

"Did you alter Younka’s Rite of Ascension to use this to approach the Luminous Stone and Crystal? Just to see if the Luminous Stone still hides the souls of ancient people?"

He didn’t know what to say.

"You see, Magicians can grow Luminous Stones on their bodies, and Crystal Magic explains that the ultimate form of the soul is crystal. Crystal and Luminous Stone might be quite similar in nature, so we have every reason to believe that Luminous Stones contain the souls of ancient Magicians. Younka’s Rite of Ascension can deeply mobilize a person’s soul and extract faith, so after making changes, we can try to communicate with the ancient souls in the Luminous Stones. Isn’t that the theory?"

"..."

Fingerley was silent for a moment, lips twitching as he said, "Then it failed, right?"

"Correct, correct."

Thus, the willing experimenter Hades ended up in this form with a combination of crystals and Luminous Stones growing on his body, impacting not only his appearance but also failing to glean any ancient information from the Luminous Stones, suffering a backlash instead, with his body invaded by Luminous Stones and crystals.

Fortunately, the Magicians terminated the ritual in time, or he might have become the world’s first crystallized Magician’s Ball.

No wonder they say in peaceful times, Magicians are the most dangerous factor, and it’s no wonder they are the profession with the highest non-combat reduction rate in the world.

Their curiosity is truly a bit too intense.

"However, this experiment hasn’t been without gains, Hades gained extraordinary talent in Crystal Magic, Radiant Stone Magic, and Soul Magic as a result."

Hades coughed, trying to show a friendly expression while smiling as he said:

"So far, I’ve created fifteen magic spells related to crystals and luminous stones, which others can learn normally."

Fingerley immediately burst into applause.

Leaving aside the elements of courting disaster, these Magicians could be considered pioneers; who knows what research might change the world.

Hades’ motivation for being here was also clear, to get close to White Dragon Heiss, to observe what kind of deity the ancestor of the crystals really is, and to further his research.

He had reasons not mentioned to Fingerley.

Legendary magic, Hades had heard of such a concept from within the Magic Academy, said to be the most legendary powerful magic created by the Magic Masters, but unfortunately, no one had ever seen what legendary magic looks like until now.

From the "Wilderness Starfall" of the Shattered Star General descending from the heavens, Hades glimpsed the qualities that legendary magic should possess, and it was from then that he conceived an idea.

If in this life he could create achievements not inferior to legendary magic, he would have no regrets even if he died immediately!

"I only lack an opportunity, a chance to meet a legendary Magic User."

And White Dragon Heiss, the power of the crystals it could use, must surely reach the level of legendary magic.

As long as he could meet it once, Hades had the confidence to create his own legendary magic!

He aimed to leave his name in the history of magic!

"No time to lose."

Hades had already stood up from the sofa.

"Let’s set off now."
