Sion was thinking of developing sothing.
That was the ntal exercise.
By using extre compression and tempering to actively improve raw Mind, adventurers could achieve a qualitative change that transcended natural limits.
ntal exercise was incredibly difficult and carried a high degree of danger, but its effectiveness was undeniable.
In a sense, Sion was already the equivalent of a Hero in the field of magic.
In the Age of Heroes, the defining characteristic of a hero was their ability to break past their limits in the heat of a battle. Sion, however broke his limits through IQ.
Sion had developed physical conditioning magic, adapting the vitality spell he used to regulate Alfia's body. It enabled the user to force their cellular structure into an absolute equilibrium of health, perfectly nourishing both the body and the mind.
Building upon this, Sion created gravity magic which he applied to himself using Imprint spell.
This allowed for automatic weight regulation, achieving the ultimate goal of passive continuous physical resistance training.
Because of this, Sion's baseline physical paraters had improved drastically during his stay with the Hera familia.
He was now physically robust enough to conduct complex magic experints that required a high stamina.
For example, his Instantaneous movent spell.
Sion had already finalized the theoretical formula for this spell. It involved hyper condensing Mind at the soles of his feet to create an explosive kinetic reaction force. In so ways, it was similar to the water treading exercise, but it was an explosive movent that required a terrifyingly high level of mind control and imnse physical durability to withstand the sudden G-force.
He decided to take this opportunity to test this spell in actual combat.
Arriving in the dungeon once again, Sion navigated the tunnels with much more ease than his first trip.
Compared to his initial caution, Sion had grown so much that he no longer needed to actively use his sonar detection.
Because his Mind had undergone a qualitative evolution, his passive sensory perception had been massively enhanced.
While his five senses might still be slightly inferior to the natural instincts of a demi human, his sixth sense and perception already surpassed those of many upper class adventurers.
"The first thing to test is the flying sword."
With a single thought, over a dozen steel throwing knives flew out of the pack on Sion's back, hovering nacingly in the air around him.
"Go."
As the word left Sion's lips, the suspended blades shot forward like bullets, cleanly piercing the incoming pack of goblins.
Before the monsters even turned to ash, Sion's mage hand already retrieved their magic stones, neatly depositing them into his backpack.
The prototype for flying sword spell was the mage's hand, which utilized telekinetic force by forming an invisible magic hand. This telekinetic force could even theoretically be used to lift the user, but it required intense agility and consud a massive amount of Mind. It served as the prototype for both flying sword spell and flight spell.
This was a complete linear tech tree of arcane evolution.
"Just as I thought, this thod is far more efficient than the Vacuum Bullet: Slash," Sion murmured to himself. "Is this simply the fundantal difference between fighting with a weapon versus fighting bare handed?"
"Welp, wrong analogy."
Sion was not rely using mage's Hand to bluntly telekinese the blades. He had cast imprint magic on the weapons themselves. Because he could seamlessly transmit Mind through these imprints, Sion could remotely control the blades far beyond normal telekinetic range.
Sniping an enemy from a hundred ters away was no problem, and it consud a re fraction of the Mind required to generate a pure wind blade.
"The effective range and Mind consumption are well within acceptable paraters," Sion nodded in satisfaction.
The kinetic power still needed to be tested against tougher monster hides, but he estimated it was roughly equal to his vacuum slash. However, these were just ordinary throwing knives. If they could be forged into magic swords, their lethality would skyrocket.
So called Magic swords could only be forged by blacksmiths possessing the exceptionally rare Mystery Developnt Ability.
They were a unique category of armant, distinct from standard magical items or crozzo magic swords. It was essentially an enchanted weapon, where the enchantnt manifested as a highly lethal buff upon the target. Leveraging them wouldn't just rely on his magic superiority, but would also grant him a massive equipnt advantage.
Expanding the range, minimizing Mind consumption, and maximizing lethality.
This was Sion's optimization of Mind and magic.
However, his goals in the dungeon today went beyond testing weaponized telekinesis. He needed to fully integrate his flight and instantaneous movent spells.
"Let's begin."
The goal was to speedrun sprint down to the 18th floor in the shortest ti possible.
Sion took a deep breath, hyper focused his Mind, and brought his physical state to its absolute peak.
Then..
Instantaneous movent!
Layering the explosive kinetic propulsion over his base flight magic, Sion blasted forward.
The core principle of flight magic was to generate a specific magic effect, enveloping the entire body in a field guided by sheer willpower, thereby lifting the user into the air. The magic effect enveloping him was an enchantnt type spell that continuously drained his Mind while active.
By precisely manipulating this output, he could freely control his aerial trajectory.
While airborne, Sion simultaneously activated his instantaneous movent magic, utilizing the principle of concentrated recoil to propel himself.
He blasted through the tunnels at a speed that utterly eclipsed any lower class adventurer.
"Incredibly fast... almost twice the top speed of a normal car."
Under minimum status conditions, an adventurer who ranked up to level 2 with an agility stat of around D500 to D599 would have the similar speed.
With their enhanced strength and durability, a level 2 could effortlessly reach even higher speed. A seasoned adventurer could best even craziest cars.
Sion's current combat prowess was above that of an average level 2 adventurer.
The absolute status gap caused by levels was a brutal undeniable reality.
Yet, Sion was single handedly shattering this law!
He was achieving this not through an uncontrollable skill, but through a systematic application of magic knowledge.
And ultimately, his legendary talent.
