I am the God of Technology

Chapter 128  Novice Wizard

Dante had once again broken through his genetic limitations, allowing him to attempt another round of absorption in the Apocalypse World. As expected, becoming a knight had not affected his already high stats, but he wasn't surprised.

He wasn't practicing these methods to increase his stats; he had the Apocalypse World for that, and it could increase his stats faster than anything else could. What he practiced these arts for was the ability to break his gene limit and stabilize them.

As for the special arts, he practiced them for their magical power, which had various special abilities and effects crucial for him, as he had no offensive superpower.

Anyway, Dante was now facing a dilemma. Should he breakthrough to become a Wizard first or head to the Apocalypse World to raise his stats first? Both options had their pros and cons, and Dante couldn't make an instant decision.

In the end, since he was already here, he decided to become a wizard. He contacted Master Elandor, who was not at all surprised by his rapid growth and prepared the necessary materials to complete the ceremony.

Dante sat in the center of the array and inhaled the special scent that was supposed to help him focus. It was surprisingly very similar to what was used in the cabins within the Black Land, and he couldn't help but wonder if one was based on the other.

Dante soon entered the space with his Spiritual Core and saw that it was now a pale purple color as compared to the vibrant white it was previously. Not only that, but its pulsations became strange and weird.

However, despite this, the merger of element and spirit was not yet complete. Dante ran the Void Speaker Chant continuously, compressing his spiritual core using his mental power while maintaining the balance of elemental concentration within.

It was very possible for elements to leak out during this phase if you hadn't consolidated your spiritual core well. This would not only ruin your breakthrough but also force you to do extra work, as you'd have to absorb while compressing.

The breakthrough itself was already stressful and full of uncertainties, and now you were going to add more work on top? Hah, good luck.

Dante naturally achieved the necessary compression value required to breakthrough. His core went from the size of a head to the size of a clenched fist. However, in terms of purity and potency, it was more than ten times stronger than before.

The stories always talked about the great gap between a wizard and an apprentice, but Dante now felt it. If an Apprentice was like Spiderman, then a wizard was like Superman. There was no way for the two to compete.

Now that he was a wizard, Dante understood the classifications of wizards and the various powers of each sub-stage.

[Classification of Wizards in the Magus World

Level 1: Apprentice Wizard

At this level, aspiring wizards have learned the basics of meditation and spiritual control. They can manipulate the surrounding environment slightly, creating minor illusions or moving small objects. This introductory phase teaches them to sense and harness the ambient elements.

Level 2: Novice Wizard

In the Novice Wizard phase, magic users refine their control over the elements they've condensed, allowing them to cast more basic spells. They can conjure small elemental manifestations, like sparks or gusts of wind, and manipulate basic materials. This phase introduces the concept of resonance, harmonizing one's spiritual core with specific elemental forces.

Level 3: Adept Wizard

Adept Wizards deepen their connection to elemental forces. They can conjure and manipulate larger elemental manifestations, such as flames, ice shards, or miniature lightning bolts. Adept Wizards also hone their defensive spells, creating barriers and protective wards.

Level 4: Advanced Wizard

Advanced Wizards gain a fundamental understanding of spatial manipulation. They can warp and distort space on a small scale, allowing for teleportation short distances and the creation of pocket dimensions to store items. Offensive spells become more formidable, with firestorms, freezing cyclones, and electric torrents within their capabilities.

Level 5: Elite Wizard

At the Elite Wizard level, spatial manipulation evolves further. Elite Wizards can phase through objects and create temporary portals for instantaneous travel. Elemental spells can now be woven together for combination attacks, such as a flaming tornado or an portions of the environment. They can create wormholes for more ice-infused lightning strike.

Level 6: Master Wizard

Mastery over space allows Master Wizards to manipulate larger portions of the environment. They can create wormholes for more extensive teleportation and form stable portals between locations. Master Wizards can also merge elemental forces, casting spells like a magma-infused storm or a blizzard charged with lightning.

Level 7: Grand Wizard

Grand Wizards achieve a profound grasp of spatial dynamics. They can fold space, allowing them to create short-lived spatial pockets for hiding or protection. Grand Wizards harness elemental convergence, producing spells that combine three or more elements, leading to cataclysmic effects.

Level 8: Archwizard

Archwizards reach the pinnacle of spatial mastery. They can manipulate space on a grand scale, bending and warping it for large-scale teleportation or reshaping terrains. Archwizards can cast spells that manipulate the fabric of reality itself, creating phenomena that defy conventional physics.

Level 9: Sage Wizard

Sage Wizards are nearly unparalleled in their control of the Spatial Arcana. They can bend space and time, enabling them to foresee events and manipulate the flow of time for brief moments. Sage Wizards wield spells that alter the very laws of reality, creating phenomena beyond mortal comprehension.

Level 10: Grand Sage Wizard

The pinnacle of magical achievement, Grand Sage Wizards are said to have transcended humanity. Their mastery over space is absolute, enabling them to shape dimensions and traverse the multiverse. They can channel the essence of the cosmos into spells that can reshape planets or rewrite the laws of magic itself.]

Within this intricate magic system, the Void Speaker Chant held unparalleled significance as a Meditation Technique. This technique, rooted in the element of space, allowed Dante to harness and wield space-based spells exclusively.

Wizards who mastered the Void Speaker Chant gained the ability to bend, warp, and manipulate space with exceptional precision, surpassing any other wizard's abilities at any stage.

At its initial stage, the Void Speaker Chant allowed for basic spatial manipulation, such as creating small pockets of void to store objects or enabling minor telekinesis. As wizards progressed, they could extend their control to teleportation within short distances and the creation of localized spatial distortions that deflected attacks.

This was only achievable for Advanced Wizards, but Dante could currently do this as a Novice Wizard!

As the Void Speaker Chant advanced, its user could form stable rifts to distant locations, effectively enabling long-distance teleportation. The most accomplished practitioners could unravel and reweave space, enabling the creation of personal pocket dimensions for storage or even the temporary formation of micro-black holes to absorb energy-based attacks.

This was a Grand Wizard level feat that Dante could achieve at the Adept Wizard stage!

In other words, at every stage, Dante's spatial control would far surpass that of his peers. What he also found interesting was that every level of wizard breakthrough required him to condense a sub-spiritual core, which would then absorb a different element of his choice if he wanted to.

So at the apprentice stage, you had one spiritual core which was your main. You would fill it with the element of your choosing from your Meditation Technique. After breakthroughs to become a Novice Wizard, you could generate a new seed of a spiritual core and then grow it using resources or meditation until it reached a sufficient initial size.

Then you could start using your meditation technique to either absorb the same element you started with or a new one. You didn't need to change meditation techniques to achieve this, as each technique had its own way.

Once it reached its saturation, then you would breakthrough to the next realm and repeat. This was how higher-level wizards were versatile, and also why, even if they never used the space element, they still had some minor spatial abilities that grew with each level.

At those levels, just releasing the power from your multiple spiritual cores is enough to make space itself shake and bend to your will.

Dante left the chamber and reported to Master Elandor that he was done. The Grand Sage nodded with a smile and upgraded Dante's status and robes from that of an Apprentice to a Novice Wizard.

Before he left, he asked the important question about the existence of an item that could resurrect a dead person. To Dante's relief, there were many in existence, but their potency varied, and the specific situation of the corpse also varied.

Dante naturally asked about the strongest one in existence, to which Master Elandor answered that it was the Nirvana Fire of a Phoenix. That was said to be able to not only resurrect any being but also make them undergo metamorphosis and become twice as strong as they were before.
