I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 550: 388: The Strongest Spell [Prayer Technique]2

Chapter 550: Chapter 388: The Strongest Spell [Prayer Technique]_2

The energy within the crystal ball seed to have found an outlet, as a torrent of mysterious knowledge flooded into Lis’s mind.

He didn’t know how long it had been before he finally ca out of his daze.

Looking at the bored Black Cat next to him, Lis asked,

“How long was I out?”

“Over an hour,”

the Black Cat yawned indifferently.

...

It couldn’t help it; it felt sleepy whenever it read.

How did Lis manage to read it?

Lis didn’t care about the Black Cat’s reaction and rubbed his slightly swollen head.

Glancing at the dreamy crystal ball that had returned to the bookshelf, Lis sighed.

He had only known about “Prayer Technique” before, had heard of its power, and it was touted as a “Universal Wish Machine.”

But he hadn’t expected this spell to be so tricky!

As a Legendary Magic, “Prayer Technique” was beyond Lis’s current capabilities, and even the related knowledge was sothing he couldn’t fully understand.

The effect of this spell was quite peculiarly idealistic; nobody knew the working principle of this spell, as though it had suddenly appeared in the Gaia World.

Countless generations of Mages’ exploration and research into “Prayer Technique” hadn’t made much progress, only the conditions and patterns of its effects were sowhat clarified.

The effect of “Prayer Technique” is simple; the user only needs to articulate their wish to implent it.

You just need to loudly state your wish, and you can manipulate the very foundations of the real world!

By using “Prayer Technique,” you can replicate any spell, also generate or remove specific spell effects;

You can heal injuries, or even revive the dead;

You can create magic items out of thin air, or use it to travel to any location in the world.

The user can make any wish to “Prayer Technique,” and it can fulfill even seemingly impossible wishes.

However, “Prayer Technique” is not always as accommodating as one might hope.

First, the casting of “Prayer Technique” is not always guaranteed to succeed.

Second, even if the use of “Prayer Technique” is successful, the manner in which the wish is fulfilled may not be as the user had hoped.

Depending on the fulfillnt of the wish by “Prayer Technique,” the user might face the following outcos:

“Prayer Technique” results in a great success, the user’s wish is successfully fulfilled, with no consequences or imperfections.

“Prayer Technique” results in success, the user’s wish is successfully fulfilled, but it brings unexpected consequences or side effects, such as newly acquired wealth coming from a notorious criminal, potentially leading to retribution, or the process of fulfilling the wish might anger opposing deities.

“Prayer Technique” results in failure, the user’s wish is not fulfilled, without any outco. Or, as an alternative, the user’s wish is partially fulfilled, but the level of fulfillnt is lower, and the desired wish will never be fully realized.

“Prayer Technique” results in a great failure, the user’s wish is corrupted, fulfilled in a cruel form. Its outco usually has ironic implications, which are difficult for the user to accept. For instance, a person who wished for wealth ends up trapped forever in an underground treasure vault filled with riches, or a person who sought power is teleported into the kingdom at the mont of its destruction and becos its king.

Hmm…

Lis had a headache.

Indeed, the use of any power cos with its costs, even the so-called strongest spell “Prayer Technique” is no exception.

Even though “Prayer Technique’s” effects are not limited to a specific area or range, this level of freedom also brings with it uncontrollable risks.

Just like now, if Lis were to use “Prayer Technique” to instantly beco a Legendary Mage,

“Prayer Technique” might indeed allow Lis to instantaneously break through to Legendary status, but in the next instant, he could explode from the surging magic power within him, turning into a pile of ashes.

The use of “Prayer Technique” succeeded, and even if just for a second, Lis indeed beca a Legendary Mage.

But that was not the outco Lis had hoped for.

The Legendary Mages of the Neserel Magic Empire conducted multiple trials on the effects of the “Prayer Technique,” and they discovered certain patterns.

The most crucial revelation was that the harder the wish granted by the “Prayer Technique” exceeded one’s ability, the more terrifying the consequences of its fulfillnt.

There is a saying in the “Secret Scroll·Legendary Magic [Prayer Technique],”

“Just as magic always requires a price, the price of the Prayer Technique is unknown to you, and its fulfillnt may not always align with your desires.”

Even those Legendary Mages who had mastered the Prayer Technique were extrely cautious in its use, rarely employing this spell to fulfill impractical wishes.

However, this did not an that the Prayer Technique was utterly useless.

In previous explorations, the greatest utility of the Prayer Technique was in simulating other types of spells.

After nurous tests, the Legendary Mages of the Neserel Magic Empire found that using the Prayer Technique to simulate magic spells of the Eighth Circle or lower was almost guaranteed to succeed and brought about hardly any negative effects.

This helped the Prayer Technique beco one of the most practical Legendary Spells.

Actually, compared to most Legendary Magic, Nine-Circle Spells inherently are not very different, with many Legendary Spells having similar power.

However, due to issues with rank and judgnt, only Legendary Mages were qualified to cast Legendary Spells.

Besides keeping their trump cards hidden, even Legendary Mages rarely used Legendary Spells in battle because they often required ample preparation ti and expensive casting materials, making them impractical during casting.

Most Legendary Mages still primarily relied on mid to high-circle spells as the basis of their battle techniques.

But the Prayer Technique was an exception among Legendary Spells.

Compared to other Legendary Spells, the use of the Prayer Technique was quite simple.

Beyond stating the wish aloud, it only required a certain amount of magic energy depending on the wish to be fulfilled, and the casting action was even singular.

This made it less demanding than many mid to high-circle spells and eliminated the need for materials required by advanced magic.

Thus, as long as one didn’t attempt sothing too bizarre, the Prayer Technique remained quite practical in mage battles.

If it weren’t for the long cooldown period of casting the Prayer Technique during battles, it almost beca the routine for Neserel’s Legendary Mages.

…

“I cast the Eighth Circle Spell [Sun Fla Burst]!”

“I cast the Eighth Circle Spell [Rainbow Light Magic Wall]!”

“Then I cast the Seventh Circle Spell [ntal Confusion]!”

“Alright, alright, then I cast the Eighth Circle Spell [Spirit Barrier]!”

…

Lis couldn’t help but think the scene was almost too perfect, almost like winning battles by rely speaking about it.

The current Lis thought it was still too early for him to use the “Prayer Technique,” but the “Secret Scroll·Legendary Magic [Prayer Technique]” also ntioned another lower spell.

The Seventh Circle Spell [Limited Prayer Technique]!

Unlike the Legendary Spell [Prayer Technique], the Seventh Circle Spell [Limited Prayer Technique] did not have the capability to fulfill bizarre wishes and was limited to simulating low-level magic.

The [Limited Prayer Technique] could simulate spells of the Sixth Circle or lower, with varying probabilities of success based on the type of spell.

The spells simulated by the [Limited Prayer Technique] would possess the sa exemption checks and magic resistance as the original spells, but could not eliminate the conditions and casting materials required for the magic use.

Compared to the [Prayer Technique], [Limited Prayer Technique] indeed had many more restrictions, but it was safer, and even if it failed, it wouldn’t bring about negative effects.

Still, this counted as a valuable discovery!

Lis pondered for a while, then heaved a sigh.

As he had thought, the knowledge recorded in these Legendary Magic Books was beyond his current grasp or understanding.

He must calm down and continue step by step!

Yes, he should bring Risa here too; she would definitely love this place!
