With the successful job change to [Magic Transcender].
The air around Lyle seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, forming a visible vortex that radiated a faint blue luster.
In the lava zone, which was originally shrouded in red light due to the influence of the crimson lava sea, the red glow seemed to be absorbed, with Lyle's location as the center.
A pale blue area with a radius of five meters formed.
Lyle clearly felt a massive amount of magic power surging into his body like a tidal wave, causing the pale blue light radiating from his body to become a bit more intense.
In just three breaths.
The pale blue magic halo and the astonishing aura fluctuations around him suddenly contracted and subsided.
'Comprehensive Rank: 42 → 43'
Lyle opened his eyes, and a blue magic light flashed within his black pupils: "A second Special Class."
Surprise! Excitement!
Lyle looked at the job information on his Status Panel, a rare look of excitement appearing on his face.
This Special Class was something he had deduced entirely based on the job change conditions of [Mad Mage]. Being able to trigger it successfully gave him a clearer understanding of the acquisition conditions for Special Classes.
"Magic Transcender—this class name actually fits the naming convention of the New World."
Lyle pondered slightly, which reminded him of the unique [Dragon Clan Transcender] class of the Dragon Clan.
"A full six passives?"
"Impressive!" Lyle's eyes widened slightly; he remembered that [Valkyrie] only had five passives.
After reading the introduction for the first passive, "Magic Great Master," Lyle frowned imperceptibly.
There was no specific ability, just a very vague introduction.
It wasn't that Lyle thought this passive was bad; it wasn't uncommon for various classes to have vague passive descriptions, which meant it was a type of passive that required him to explore and figure out on his own.
Hard to evaluate.
The next five passive abilities were clearer, especially the last one, "Magic Transcendence Power."
It made Lyle's breathing become much more rapid. No wonder he felt a surprisingly massive amount of magic power appear out of thin air within his body.
Among the several passive abilities, apart from "Magic Transcendence Power," at first glance, there were no particularly stunning passives.
However, if one studied them carefully, they revealed a kind of ordinary numerical beauty.
""Super Magic Master"—increases the variable quantities in magic to their maximum value."
Lyle sat on the edge of the lava sea, his legs dangling in mid-air, looking at the scalding, surging lava below, and raised his hand to chant: "Magic Arrow."
Swish! Swish—swish!
The Magic Arrow, which would normally only manifest three bolts when cast, manifested ten bolts directly, which shot out and exploded into the lava below.
"Heat Up." Lyle raised a finger and pointed at the air in front of him. A red light burst from his fingertip.
Boom! The air at his fingertip, due to the instantaneous heating, expanded rapidly and created an explosion-like roar, turning into a scalding heat wave that blasted outward.
The shockwave of the explosion blasted Lyle's red magic robe to pieces, and the torn strips of cloth were turned into ash by the high temperature before they could even fly into the air.
Yet the scalding heat wave, as it washed over Lyle, felt like a gentle breeze, having no effect on him at all.
"The fourth-tier 'Heat Up' effect can instantly raise the temperature to 300 degrees, and then gradually climb to 1200 degrees within one minute."
"The effect just now clearly raised it directly to 1200 degrees... Is this what maximizing variable quantities means?"
Lyle's eyes flashed; he reached up to tear off a strip of cloth hanging from his neck and tossed it casually into the lava sea below. It was just an ordinary robe, and he had dozens more in his inventory box.
The two spells, "Magic Arrow" and "Heat Up," had already given Lyle a clear understanding of the Super Magic Master's passive ability.
"Come to think of it, the Tier Magic in 'YGGDRASIL' contains quite a few spells with large ranges of numerical variation."
Lyle recalled in his mind. For example, the seventh-tier area-of-effect spell "Sunlight Burst" deals higher damage to creatures with lower Karma. For the tenth-tier "Divine Flame," the higher a person's Karma, the greater the power of the spell released.
"Speaking of which, the 'Heat Up' spell doesn't directly heat the object it touches, but rather heats the small area touched by the fingertip and then transfers the temperature through heat conduction."
Lyle felt that this spell might need to be upgraded to a higher tier; the doubled temperature numerical change was truly frightening. There should be an upper limit.
""Mana's Blessing," which speeds up magic recovery, will take a while to see the effect."
""Elemental Blessing"? Is it specialized for four-element attacks? It could actually synergize with the [Mad Mage] passive."
""Reduced Magic Consumption"... hiss, I knew it!" Lyle took a deep breath.
He had calculated before that even if his magic power was at its maximum, like when Bone King fought Shalltear, the kind of frenzied spellcasting behavior would simply exhaust his magic power.
Lyle had long guessed that since there were no potions to restore magic power in "YGGDRASIL," there must inevitably be skills, passives, cash-item props, equipment, and other means to reduce magic consumption.
"Once the class is leveled to the max, it reduces magic consumption by 15 points. Spells below the fourth tier only need to consume one point of magic to be activated, which significantly boosts sustainability."
An indirect increase in combat power!
"As expected of a Special Class constructed after fulfilling all the conditions for the four major spellcasting systems." Lyle looked forward to the class skills below with anticipation.
"Transcendence Technique"?
Lyle was stunned, then continued to look down at the remaining two skills. For a moment, the air fell silent.
He suddenly understood why there were no relevant resistance-type passives among the [Magic Transcender]'s passive abilities.
"Word of Elemental Collapse"—elemental resistance ineffective.
"Goddess Kali's Sigh: Day of Elemental Extinction"—elemental magic prohibition.
Just this final trump card, once released, made whether one had elemental resistance irrelevant. Once this skill was out, elemental spellcasters in his eyes would be like lambs waiting for the slaughter, with no ability to resist.
"What a powerful Special Class; it feels a notch stronger than [Valkyrie]." Lyle clenched his fists, a bright smile appearing on his face.
"I need to level up to fully unleash the abilities of this class. That's fine; the stored experience points were originally prepared for this."
Lyle needed to experience these two special skills to further determine the skills' power, effects, range, etc. Additionally, looking at the "Transcendence Technique" skill, a bold idea popped into Lyle's mind.
'Experience Bar: 2671356 / 260000'
"Level up!" Lyle.
'Experience Bar: 2411356 / 310000'
'Magic Transcender: 2Lv · Skill Points: 48 → 51'
... 'Experience Bar: 1331356 / 460000'
'Magic Transcender: 5Lv · Skill Points: 57 → 60'
'Comprehensive Rank: 43 → 47'
Four levels up in one go.
Lyle's entire body began to radiate a scalding white steam heat, continuously emitting from the life force field formed by his high Rank. It caused the surrounding air to show signs of distortion.
However! Lyle had no intention of stopping; his eyes were fixed on the Status Panel, and he consumed experience points again.
'Experience Bar: 871356 / 510000'
'Ninja: 2Lv · Skill Points: 60 → 63'
'Comprehensive Rank: 47 → 48'
... 'Experience Bar: 361356 / 560000'
'Ninja: 3Lv · Skill Points: 63 → 66'
'Comprehensive Rank: 48 → 49'
In the blink of an eye, nearly three million experience points were reduced to only about thirty-six thousand, and his Rank completely stopped at the 49Lv level.
Lyle subconsciously raised his arm to brace himself against the edge of the Rock nearby. With a "crack" sound.
The suddenly increased powerful force was not controlled for a moment, and he crushed the Rock, which had been tempered by long-term lava scouring and flame firing, into powder with a single slap.
Large-scale cracks spread in all directions. Boom!
The edge of the Rock where Lyle was sitting collapsed and crumbled rapidly, falling towards the lava sea below.
Seeing this, Lyle quickly withdrew his arm, which he hadn't controlled his strength with, and leaped lightly. His entire body, as if under the effect of a flight spell, landed lightly on a spot not far away.
Bang! The lava sea splashed up a giant wave of fire tens of meters high, and the thick scent of sulfur permeated the air, making Lyle wrinkle his nose.
"I leveled up six times at once; my strength is a bit out of control."
Lyle swung his arms a few times to slightly adapt to the surge in strength, then continued to look at the Status Panel:
"There are still 360,000 experience points left. According to the 'Transcendence Technique' skill, I can consume 350,000 experience points to cast a seventh-tier spell."
"What if I forcibly consume experience to cast a spell... what would happen if I don't have enough experience?" Lyle opened his mouth and licked his upper lip.
"Transcendence Technique—Fourth-Tier: Silver Knight Lance!"
The 200,000 experience points in the Experience Bar were instantly consumed. A two-meter-long silver lance rapidly condensed in front of Lyle and blasted into the lava sea.
"Transcendence Technique—Fourth-Tier: Silver Knight Lance!" Casting the spell again.
The commotion from spells above the seventh tier was too large, so Lyle intended to use two fourth-tier low-level spells.
A touch of silver light appeared again. But the next moment! The condensing silver lance paused; the spell seemed to show signs of jamming. Hum—
The Status Panel vibrated. 'Experience points insufficient. Stop casting the "Transcendence Technique" skill?'
"No!" Lyle's eyes flashed with intensity.
In an instant, the information on the Status Panel changed rapidly. 'Genius: 10Lv, Sword Saint 10Lv... Magic Transcender 5Lv, Ninja 3Lv'
All the classes appeared rapidly on the panel, looking as if they were letting Lyle make a choice.
"Ninja." Lyle thought silently.
... 'Experience Bar: 471356 / 510000'
'Ninja: 3Lv → 2Lv'
'Skill Points: 66 → 66'
'Comprehensive Rank: 49 → 48'
... Boom! The Silver Knight Lance fully condensed in mid-air, pierced through the air, and blasted into the lava sea below; a giant lava wave tens of meters high shot into the sky.
It caused a tremor on the surface of the lava sea, and rolling lava waves surged up.
Facing the huge commotion caused, Lyle ignored it directly, instead staring intently at the information on the Status Panel, seeing the situation where he had dropped one Rank.
"Skill points don't change?"
"This 'Transcendence Technique' skill... is too interesting." Lyle felt that he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
