Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 555 - 305: Exclusive Divine Artifact Forging Plan
Louis’s main profession levels are Warrior LV4 / Sword of Martial Arts LV3 / Eternal Blade LV10 / Undecided LV2 profession.
Mayer under the mask levels are Warrior LV4 / Sage’s Sword LV3 / Jade Phoenix Mage LV10 / Undecided LV2 profession.
Caesar under the mask levels are Warrior LV4 / Celestial Punishment Sword LV3 / Nine Sword Grandmaster LV10 / Undecided LV2 profession.
Under normal circumstances, it is not possible to advance without selecting a new profession.
However, Louis’s level increase did not come from himself, but from the power swell after the Great Sin: Wrath Co-Feast ritual.
However, such a level increase at most gives him some extraordinary energy, making it impossible to receive a profession boost, and can only gain basic four-dimensional growth.
The source of the power of extraordinary professions lies in its pre-set container for the professional.
For instance, in accordance with the oldest Mage school method of learning magic, just mastering a 0-circle spell could take up even half a year for a Mage prep student.
Because even the most basic spells require the learning, recognition, and application of mathematics and physics in constructing models.
A second-circle spell alone, in terms of learning difficulty, is definitely not weaker than the learning difficulty of regular university advanced mathematics courses.
Think about the fail rate of college calculus, and you’ll realize how mentally taxing learning magic really is.
Question: Why do Mages often give the impression of being old white-haired grandpas?
Answer: From studying magic too much.
Question: Why do Mages always like to wear a Mage hat?
Answer: Can’t accept receding hairlines, hair loss, and baldness.
This is just the second-circle spell!
If it’s according to the old method, just a second-circle spell could kill quite a big number of Mages.
Flunking could drive them crazy.
However, the price they bear isn’t retaking exams, but magical backlash or even magical explosions.
So do you understand why old-school Mages always liked holding heavy magic staves?
Apart from self-defense, there’s also a very simple reason: during an explosion, keep it as far from themselves as possible.
Of course, these are early issues of the Mage profession.
Nowadays, the Mage profession has improved, vastly correcting the flaws of spell slots.
Mages have now gone through three eras.
The first era was "needing to learn the basic principles of math and physics and perform spell derivations," a spell-learning method from the oldest version that tested the student’s innate talents immensely, with Mages almost becoming synonymous with intelligence and genius.
The second era was "researching a bunch of formulas and mindlessly inputting relevant values to automatically complete spell derivations," during which Mages were called Arcanists, and the complex derivation process was simplified into various formulas, making casting speed increase as fast as the mental calculation speed.
And nowadays, Olivia’s generation’s spells follow the "carry a computer loaded with a huge number of formulas, directly input numbers, and the computer automatically computes the corresponding spells."
In other words, the spell slots of current Mages are the "container," even if you’re dumb as a pig, you can still exploit the magic effects by pouring water into the container.
Of course, if you only pursue this effect, then there’s no chance of pursuing the truth of spells in this lifetime.
These three eras are actually the three stages of Mage study when reversed.
The first stage is learning how to directly calculate answers using problem-solving techniques.
The second stage is skillfully using formulas, knowing the process of converting the answer.
The third stage is understanding the magical truth behind the formulas, truly recognizing and understanding the process of spells taking effect.
This can highlight the importance of the "container" generated by extraordinary professions.
In Mage professions, the container is a spell slot.
In the Nine Sword professions, the container is combat skills. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
A rigidified container might be stiff, but it allows the professional to practice immediately, making it easier to reverse-engineer the process through practice.
This is also why Louis didn’t casually choose a profession after his breakthrough.
Different containers have very distinct impacts on the subsequent development of professionals.
The only thing that Louis can currently confirm is using the Super Magic Curse User under Mayer’s avatar.
The Mayer avatar represents Louis’s accumulated spellcasting capability, and he plans to develop this avatar’s template into a glass cannon build, going all the way to the end.
Especially having the nuclear explosion spell, the Super Magic Curse User became a profession he absolutely cannot give up.
The fact that Super Magic Curse Users can automatically gain a super magic feat when advancing to levels 1, 4, 7, and 10 assures that this advancement profession is a must-pick for Louis.
A friendly reminder, the Little Swan, who also follows the glass cannon build, has Super Magic Curse User as her advanced profession.
Her kaleidoscope-like spell PLUS bombardment also enjoys the assist of Super Magic Curse User.
For the main body’s remaining profession selections, his initial plan was to choose a Warrior-type or Magic Swordsman-type profession that could enhance the Nine Sword profession.
Strictly speaking, Curse Swordsmen aren’t excessively strong among Warrior professions.
Whether it’s the earliest version guiding arcanum onto weapons or the later revised version "resonating with demon swords," Curse Swordsmen are professions that don’t surpass the upper echelon but aren’t below the lower one either.
—On the premise of not pairing with Lokeshi Empire’s imagery methods and bloodline.
Louis is very suspicious that Lokeshi Empire’s obsession with digging deep into Curse Swordsmen’s power is related to the divine tools of the thirteen families.
The revised version of Curse Swordsmen has an unflattering nickname—
Slave of the Demon Sword.
They are one of the few professions that can maximize the power of magic weapons.
