Chapter 1042 - Fire Vortex (1/2)

The Book of Mantras had never been upgraded to an Extraordinary Magic Tool in the future. The greatest value of the Book of Mantras then came from its endless incantations. As long as one was patient, it was possible to find some very powerful spells.

But the true value didn’t lie in those powerful incantations, but in the fact that there was an endless number of incantations. As long as they were meticulously studied, the understanding of each rune would reach an inconceivable realm.

This was like a poet… They had to master words to create a poem, and they had to learn how to arrange them in a graceful manner.

Words were known to everyone, but few people could use these words to create poems.

The incantations were the poems, and the runes were the words. Every mage knew them, but very few could use the runes to create their own incantations.

The created spells could be very powerful or have special value, but there were extremely few of them.

It could be said that the spells from the Book of Mantras were teaching the owner how to create spells. What spell couldn’t be created after studying thousands, millions of spells? They would also combine with the owner’s own strength and understanding to create some spells that suited them.

This was the greatest value of the Book of Mantras and why it was a waste to use the Book of Mantras purely as a True Spirit Magic Tool.

That was when the Book of Mantras was only a True Spirit Magic Tool. The Book of Mantras hadn’t advanced to the Extraordinary grade in the future.

At that time, it wasn’t possible to collect the thirteen Fate Tablets to merge them with the Book of Mantras. Now, the Book of Mantras had advanced to the Extraordinary grade and even birthed a powerful Magic Tool Incarnation. The value of the Book of Mantras was no longer limited to those incantations, and its power in battle wouldn’t be inferior to the Book of Death’s.

But Lin Yun felt that this newly born Magic Tool Incarnation wasn’t that simple.

Sure enough, by the time his aura had thoroughly stabilized, the gray python lowered his head and coldly looked down at Lin Yun with his vertical pupils.

“Eh, an Archmage… What a surprise, an Archmage seems to be in control of the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras. This must be a joke. But, it seems that if not for you, I, Lord Doroman, might have still been in my eternal slumber. Since you found the thirteen Augments, the Book of Mantras perfectly became an Extraordinary Magic Tool.

“This also allowed me, Lord Doroman, to awaken from my eternal sealed slumber. Good! I, the great Lord Doroman, will give you a chance to serve me.

“From now on, Lord Doroman will personally appear for any problem you can’t solve.

“You are really too weak… How could a puny Archmage obtain the Book of Mantras and find the thirteen Augments? You must have been extremely lucky.

“Alright, human. Now, pledge your loyalty. The great Lord Doroman will bless you and strengthen your inferior power.

“Remember, don’t awaken me for troubles below the Heaven Rank. If you can’t handle anything below the Heaven Rank, then rubbish like you wouldn’t have the qualifications to serve Lord Doroman…”

Doroman was looking down on Lin Yun. He was acting as if he was taking pity on Lin Yun and giving the weak mage the opportunity to follow him.

Lin Yun couldn’t hold back a chuckle. He had felt that something was wrong… That idiotic Incarnation had just been born, yet it already wanted to defy its master.

“Doroman, right? Are you dreaming?”

Doroman froze, not understanding what Lin Yun said.

“The great Lord Doroman has already awakened from the eternal slumber, human…”

After saying that, Doroman noticed Lin Yun’s sneer and suddenly understood that he was being made fun of.

“Stupid human, you failed to live up to the good intentions of the great Lord Doroman! You wasted your greatest opportunity in life. Since you are unwilling to follow the great Lord Doroman, you can just die!”

After saying that, Doroman opened his huge maw. The surrounding elemental powers seemed to suddenly rebel as if all their power was being drawn away.

Doroman’s maw was wide open, and the surrounding magic elements, as well as space itself, seemed to wrap around Lin Yun and move towards Doroman’s mouth.

That rapid and terrifying power moved rapidly, but Lin Yun only used a Mana Shield and stood still, letting Doroman devour him.
