Chapter 1485: Chapter 913: Creative Plagiarism of Library Tower Noise_2

Turci blinked. She hadn’t seen clearly what the principle of that move was; just now it had only been a normal Thunder Strike Magic, not a forking, homing Thunder Magic.

"Thunder Flowers that grow in Nimgefo have the trait of attracting lightning. After I do a bit of cultivation on them, I can leverage that trait to use a low–Magic Power-cost Thunder Strike Magic to achieve a large-area Thunder attack. By the way, maintaining full Magic power without using a Magic Wand is recorded in Primordial Magic. Can the Magic Association do that?"

Listening to Vienma’s words that sounded like an explanation but were basically showing off, Turci couldn’t help rolling her eyes. She swung her Magic Wand and unfolded a curved Magic Barrier in front of them, and in the next second the barrier rushed forward on its own.

When this barrier touched the group of Snake-men, it suddenly turned viscous and sticky, wrapping all the ones in front inside. At this moment the Thunder still coiling around the Thunder Flowers hadn’t dispersed. The faint current that touched this strangely textured barrier instantly dyed it completely the color of Thunder!

A Thunder bombardment whose power was already close to High-level Magic instantly roasted those few Snake-men into charcoal.

She glanced at Vienma with pride and said, "This Slime Shield was developed by studying Slime traits. Its biggest feature is absorbing the first element it comes into contact with and amplifying it to deal damage to the enemy. In terms of saving Magic Power and cost performance, this beats your flowery plants by a mile."

"Oh?" Vienma raised an eyebrow. "Then watch this one."

As she spoke, she cast a strange Magic toward the Snake-men, one that no one outside had ever seen before.

"Nothing special. Watch mine."

Turci refused to be outdone and threw out another spell. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Heh, I’ve got more."

One after another, never-before-publicly-seen Magics were flung at the Snake-men, and the gunpowder between Vienma and Turci grew thicker and thicker.

Just when these two powder kegs were about to explode, the Brass Horn finally let out its most piercing screech. The entire world instantly fell into black and white. The poor Snake-men finally escaped their clutches, only to be replaced by the snake-bodied tentacle Monsters wandering inside the Library Tower.

The two who’d been dueling to a draw just snorted in unison, then shifted their focus back to pushing forward.

Meanwhile, in the City Lord’s room, Gong Qiying had already used an Image Stone to record every single Magic the two of them had just used.

"With footage this precious, I can take it to other City Lords who understand Magic and do some trades."

Although Gong Qiying himself didn’t understand Magic much, other City Lords did. Those City Lords might well be able to reverse-engineer the principles behind the two’s Magics from the footage, and then the Dungeon’s Magic resource pool would get a nice +N.

Analyzing adventurers’ Skills and making them your own was also a step the Dungeon had to savor for long-term development.

On the other side, even though they’d already heard from Fingerley about this type of Monster’s traits, Turci and the others still had no intention of carefully avoiding them. Instead, they chose to dive straight into battle.

Vienma used Tree Demons to lay down a field covered in strange flowers and plants. Turci unfolded nine layers of different Defense Magic around the two of them. Once the Monsters on the other side were alerted, they surged in like a tide, and they actually started a positional offense-and-defense battle here in the Library Tower.

Neither of the two had been infected by Crystal, so in this kind of noise pollution they only needed to endure some static. As for the Monsters on the other side—

As long as their DPS reached a certain level and could block the onslaught, this group of Monsters was basically just a Sain Dungeon-made adventurer DPS detector.

While Turci was casting an even stranger barrier, she suddenly frowned and let out an involuntary "Hm?", looking at Vienma. The latter also looked over at the same time. Their gazes both said they’d noticed something.

"The sound right now is suppressing Magic?"

After the world turned black and white, the Magic Power flowing inside their bodies would occasionally become chaotic. The noise also interfered with the clarity of their thoughts; it could even disrupt the casting of Magic.

Fingerley hadn’t sensed it before, but this Library Tower seemed far more malicious toward Magicians than toward warriors.

Yet even though the battle against the Monster Tide here was so heated, the two’s attention didn’t seem to be fully on that.

They were fully focused on listening to the sound of the Brass Horn.

Time kept passing. The sound of the Brass Horn changed again and again, the world’s colors kept shifting, and no one knew how many cycles had gone by.

Yet Vienma’s party had only pushed forward a bit over a hundred meters, basically just standing in place and doing positional warfare against the Monsters that kept rushing them.

Even with Magicians’ strength suppressed, their Magics still had very good synergy with the Library Tower Monsters. Even if they couldn’t advance through the Monster Tide, they could firmly hold the line... which probably also had something to do with the two of them already being standouts in the Magic field?

Their rich Magic experience let them effectively absorb the stat boosts they’d gained in Sain Dungeon, making Vienma and the others’ strength change by the day. The realm they’d reached today was something they never would’ve imagined in the past.

When the Brass Horn’s noise changed for the I-don’t-even-know-how-many-th time, and the black-and-white tone receded before their eyes, Vienma and Turci stopped what they were doing at the same time. Light flashed in their eyes.

"I’ve got an idea." x2

The two looked at each other and smiled simultaneously. The gunpowder between them seemed to have thinned a lot. Vienma took the initiative to speak:

"Sound is an important Domain of Primordial Magic. I’ve already collected enough samples. Maybe I can create a sound Magic that interferes with Magic Power flow based on the Brass Horn’s properties, then use it against White Dragon Heiss."

Turci also spoke at this time:

"I can build a sound insulation magic specifically targeting the Brass Horn’s sound on top of existing sound insulation magic. There’s a similar note in Younka’s records I can use. Once I’m done researching it, you can use your max-output sound Magic to brutally shatter White Dragon Heiss’s ears."

In that instant, it was like their wavelengths had synced. Just thinking about what they were going to do next made them want to laugh.

But then they suddenly realized the person opposite them wasn’t exactly someone you’d do a sisterly bonding act with. They both turned their heads away at the same time, scattering the nice mood from just now.

The noise echoing through the Library Tower was exactly the "research" they needed to conduct, and it seemed they’d already gained something from it.

These few days of expedition in Sain Dungeon had given the three Magic Professors their own separate gains. Just looking at the results so far, the trip was already worth it.

If—if they could take down White Dragon Heiss before going back, then this journey would be worthy of being called a triumph!

Vienma and Turci quickly went up and down to shut off the Brass Horn. In fact, if you weren’t infected by Crystal, the Library Tower wasn’t all that difficult. Even the path was a simple spiral staircase with no real branching—just one straight route.

But for an ordinary person to come to the Library Tower without being infected by Crystal was... a bit unlikely.

After turning off the noise, the two went and let Fingerley and the others out of the cells and headed downward together. Down there was the correct path that Skyrim Strategy Group had found at the price of the entire party becoming half-paralyzed. They only needed to kill two special Snake-men and get two keys to open the big door at the very bottom of the Library Tower.

And when the big door opened, what appeared before everyone was a very familiar scene.

The Duke’s Library.

They were now on the top floor of the Duke’s Library. The lower level on the opposite side was the Crystal Tunnel leading to White Dragon Heiss.

"So that’s how it is."

Turci seemed to understand something and said, with solid reasoning:

"Going by standard First-time Kill patterns, if we go challenge White Dragon Heiss again now, it’ll definitely be a different experience from the first time."

"We might even win."
