Chapter 356: Stigmata Gears II

Three months later.

At the highest floor of the lower sorcerer’s tower of the void fortress.

The Myna felt uncomfortable as it was placed in the center of a huge hexagram-shaped magical array that was drawn around it, beyond the reach of the mana pool by the Bone Bell Tower Stigmata Sorcerer. The Stigmata Sorcerer was drawing up supportive arrays around the main one.

The magical array was packed filled with magical runes that were glowing in a mysterious, green color.

“This... this feeling!”

Grimm mumbled to himself in shock. Beneath the Mask of Truth, his elental eyes almost went blank. He was in disbelief.

So, the mana pool of a sorcerer’s tower had been collecting the magical power of the sorcerers in the tower either intentionally or otherwise and to beco the stigmata sorcerer’s seemingly unending source of mana.

The results that ca after a stigmata sorcerer has gotten his own mana pool...

Grimm took a gulp. He reached out a finger. A strain of elental light appeared. He was carefully scrutinizing with his elental eyes.

A while later, Grimm took a cold breath.

“Is this the energy structure of a Stigmata Sorcerer who has gone through the elental transformation?”

At this mont, Grimm could feel that he could mobilize ninety out of his hundred points worth of ntal strength!

Under normal circumstances, Grimm could only use up about twenty points of it.

Going by this logic, a Level-3 sorcerer with a ntal strength of three hundred points could only use one-seventh of it at any one ti, about forty-five points. But once he transcends to a Stigmata Sorcerer, and after building his own sorcerer’s tower, he would be able to use four hundred points’ worth of ntal strength!

This was almost a ninefold increase!

“Yes, when you beco a real sorcerer, did you choose to leverage the potential of your body using ntal strength?”

The Bone Bell Tower Stigmata Sorcerer was manipulating so green soul fires and drawing up soul-protection runes beside the Myna as he asked Grimm.

Grimm respectfully nodded. A deep voice ca from beneath his Mask of Truth. “Yes.”

“Oh.”

The Bone Bell Tower stigmata sorcerer nodded as well as he calmly continued. “Well then, even with the blessing of the source of mana from the sorcerer, you may only use up ninety percent of all your ntal strengths. It was your choice, you gotta pay the price.”

Grimm pursed his lips under the Mask of Truth.

Although he knew that there would be consequences regarding his choices after he beca a real sorcerer, he did not think that it would turn out this way.

If he beca a stigmata sorcerer, would there be a ten-percent penalty to all his elental spells?

The difference, at this mont, would be like if Grimm’s fire bat spell was replaced by the firebird spell.

At this mont.

Grimm felt that if he willed it and tap into the mana pool of the sorcerer’s tower with his principal will, he would have the blessing of unlimited mana. If it weren’t for Grimm’s overly low leverage multiples in terms of elental sorceries, he would have far exceeded all the Level-3 sorcerers.

But even then, with Grimm’s ability to utilize ninety points of ntal strengths as his base, which was almost twice as much as a Level-3 sorcerer, he earned the rights look at all the Level-3 sorcerers right in the eyes.

Adding up the gears that were handpicked by the many Stigmata Sorcerers for him, Grimm estimated that he now has the sa power level as the Jyorongshan in the Shadow World, maybe even stronger.

After taking in a deep breath, Grimm asked,” Great Bone Bell Tower Stigmata Sorcerer, should I be aware of anything when I tap into the mana pool?”

The skeleton was deeply engaged in his drawing of magical runes. He didn’t even raise his head.

“Sothing to be aware of?”

The Bone Bell Tower pondered for a mont and calmly said, ” At your power level, the mana pool in the sorcerer’s tower would seem almost infinite to you, so there’s nothing to worry about in terms of getting your mana.”

He paused for a mont.

“But, you have yet to face the mind-reaping test of a Stigmata Sorcerer, your soul’s but of a sorcerer’s. For a stigmata soul, the source of mana is an infinite help, but for a sorcerer like you, it is a poison of high toxicity. Even with as your soul guardian, you could only tap into the mana pool of the sorcerer’s tower not more than four hourglasses’ ti. And you’ll have to pay the price of losing the four governing souls during your ti as a real sorcerer permanently.”

Grimm knew about the consequences and the price that he had to pay. But he still had to ask the doubt that has been on his mind.

“If soday I were to beco a Stigmata Sorcerer, would I be able to nd back these four governing souls?”

“Four governing souls? Heehee, heeheeheehee...”

The Bone Bell Tower Stigmata Sorcerer burst into laughter. He said in a cynical manner, ” If you manage to attract enough real sorcerers into your own sorcerer’s tower, a principal soul that is nourished by the sorcerer’s tower wouldn’t have a problem of recovering even four million governing souls.”

On the other side, the Myna was feasting upon a selection of delectable cuisine ticulously prepared by Grimm. As it feasted, its eyes beca teary.

“My beloved Master Grimm, I am doing all these for you, you must make it up to , weep...”

Grimm quickly replied, “My good Myna, I will surely make it up to you, please, tell what you want.”

“I want to eat... bonito fish.”

Grimm looked at the Myna. Since Gimm ntioned about the gourt that is Master Peranos’s bonito fish, this little guy had never once forgotten about it.

“Um...”

Grimm was hesitant and put in a difficult position. He didn’t know if they sold those in the Holy Tower.

“Sob... sob... Master Grimm, this little Myna had risked death and paid so much for you, can’t you fulfill just this little wish of mine?”

The little Myna set his puppy-eyed gaze upon Grimm.

Grimm clenched his teeth. “So be it, bonito fish it is then! If they don’t have them in it he Holy Tower of the Seven Rings, I’ll get so from Master Peranos in the sorcerer’s world once we get back there! I will let you have a good taste of it even if I have to beg for it!”

“Yay!”

Myna was overjoyed. Just as Grimm had breathed a sigh of relief, and when he thought he had dealt with all that trouble, the little Myna once again turned into a pitiful manner. Its eyes were teary. “Also... I’d like a Soul Slave as my personal henchman.”

“That...”

Grimm was once again put into a spot. “Little Myna, you know that my governing souls would soon be...”

“Master, I kinda like your Enigma #1!”

As the little Myna shrieked the chira’s na, Grimm was so annoyed that he almost jumped. So this little guy had been planning for this.

Grimm clenched his teeth in a fit of rage, his voice almost sounded like they were squeezed out from the tight gaps of his teeth. “Great, great! There’s still so ti before the third phase of chira, take Enigma #1 with you! Is there anything else that you’d like?”

“Oh... there’s still... oh, oh, nothing else!”

The little Myna saw Grimm’s glaring stare beneath his Mask of Truth. It had to cut back on its third request.

“Good, if there’s nothing else, stay here like a good boy.”

Grimm was furious, but at the sa ti, he was about to burst into laughter as he said those words. He started to tap into the mana pool of the sorcerer’s tower quietly and started to equip all his stigmata gears.

Black Isotta’s pair of Essence of Black Isotta with fifteen thousand points’ worth of attack power and a legion of a thousand intelligent Level 2 and above Soul Slaves.

The Ivory Fort Stigmata Sorcerer’s True Ivory Armor with a defensive point of five thousand.

The Mandala Stigmata Sorceress’s gift of elental body and the Mandala Robes that co with the power of elental blinks.

The Dark Realm Stigmata Sorcerer’s Dark Realm Mirror and the Dark Realm Seal.

The Hourglass Stigmata Sorcerer’s gift of Half-step Ti and the Strings of Ti.

The Bone Bell Tower Sigmata Sorcerer’s protection of his soul while tapping into the mana pool of the sorcerer’s tower of the void fortress.

Once he taps into the mana pool of the sorcerer’s tower, within a period of four hourglasses, he would be playing by the rules of a Stigmata Sorcerer for a short period of ti, mobilizing all ntal strengths within his body!

For an Anatomy Refinery Sorcerer like Grimm though, it was about ninety percent of his ntal strength.

Then, Grimm’s fire dragonfly spell would be 90 points from his base ntal strength x the leverage principle in the multiple of 12 80 points from the passive increase in fire attack of his Body of Fla 300 points of additional damage from his Sabbatical Goat Staff = around 1500 points of base spell attack points!

And when Grimm cast his most powerful elental spell that is the Explosive Fireblast, the attack points would reach a terrifying 3000 points!

No wonder...

No wonder there’s a huge, structural difference in the energy level between a Level-3 sorcerer and a Stigmata Sorcerer, as well as a Level-3 creature and a World Lord.

There is a change happening within the governing law of energy.

Suddenly, the Bone Bell Tower Stigmata Sorcerer sensed sothing. He raised his head and said to Grimm, “Looks like your Rank-1 honor badge mission is about to start. Go on, Black Isotta is waiting for you outside.”

Grimm’s face turned underneath the Mask of Truth. He nodded without a word. He gave a final look to the Myna before leaving the sorcerer’s tower. He didn’t even look back.
