Age of Adepts
-
chapter-85
The most orthodox path that was directly in front of Greem was doubtlessly furthering his research on the magic spell knowledge related to his elemental affinity – Fire. Understanding this knowledge could help him when he breaks through the threshold of an Adept in the future. Meanwhile, the ability to craft golems, which currently was the greatest help to him, was considered unorthodox, as it deviated from the right path he chose.
The relationship between them was like the relation between ‘Dao’ and ‘Technique’ in his previous life.
The ‘Dao’ was the path of development he chose for himself and was also the ultimate goal he would spend the rest of his life with in restless exploration. While ‘Technique’ was merely the tricks used in order to achieve some smaller goals, it was just an auxiliary method.
Although Greem only mastered a handful of fire element magic spells at this point of time, and their power wasn’t sufficient to deal with the current enemies he had to face, but that was still Greem’s ‘Dao’. In order to avoid any deviation happening in his future Adept path, Greem had to spend a huge amount of time immersing himself in studying them, trying his best in mastering the characteristics and rules of the Fire element. Only by doing so, could he get hold of his very own ‘Dao’.
As for the Golem, for a short period of time, maybe it could allow Greem to rise above his peers, bringing him limitless glory with its formidable power. But after all, something like this was just a trick, it did not conform to his ‘Dao’. Therefore, he could use it to his heart’s content or use it to seize the resources he needed, but if he really wanted to become an Adept in future, he couldn’t slack in his research of Fire element magic spells.For most people, it was tough to have both the Dao and Technique in their path, thus they could only choose one. But for Greem, there wasn’t any problem at all. After all, he had the help of the Chip. The most time-consuming task in magic spells research was the accumulation and analysis of data, which he could leave for the Chip to handle. What he just needed to do was wait for the final essence of knowledge derived by the Chip, and merge them into his own path of magic.
Therefore, the difference between the Dao and Technique wasn’t that obvious when it comes to Greem.
Greem’s Spirit had reached the level of an Intermediate Apprentice, which allowed him to have six solidified magic spell models in his Spiritual Domain. Currently, he already had four solidified magic spells: The Burning Hand, Fire Arrow, Flaming Spear, and Fire Shield.
Therefore, it became difficult to decide which way he should go in researching Fire element magic spell. Currently, Greem took fancy to two magic spells, Flame Body and Molten Ball.
Flame Body allowed Greem’s body to house more Fire Elementium, while it would greatly improve his Fire element resistance, it was also the only path which leads him to the advance magic – Fire Elementium Modification. But in order to master this spell, besides from the continuous research of Fire element magic, he also needs to learn the knowledge of anatomy and its variation.
