Just as the city of Ogu was bustling with excitement due to the approaching New Year, Boom and Rikka quietly left and returned to the dense forest where they once were.
Rikka, who wanted to join in the fun, was forced to stay in the Wonder House by Boom. At this time, she was pouting, with unhappiness written all over her face.
"The city has been too chaotic these days. We should stay in the dense forest and don't sneak out." Boom said while lighting the fire.
"Hmph! Bad brother, bad brother, I want to go to the city to play!" Liuhua lay on the bed, rolling around.
"Be obedient and I will make it up to you next year. I'm too weak now. If something happens, I'll be in trouble." Boom walked to Rikka and stroked her little head.
"Oh, okay, then I'm going to count the ants in the dimensional space, and brother can practice on his own." Rikka angrily covered her head with the quilt and stopped talking to Boom.
Seeing this, Boom shook his head, then sat down by the fire and started practicing. And Rikka fell into a deep sleep at some point. To be precise, she was hiding in the dimensional space doing needlework.
Boom is now a junior magician. After these days of hard training, he has finally mastered the attack circle.
And through sparring with Rikka, he can use it more freely, at least with his current strength, he can only do so.
However, space spells have two moves at the initial level. The attack array that Boom currently masters is an offensive method, while the other one is a defensive move.
Recently, he has been holding the parchment scroll all day long, and has already memorized its incantation in his heart. However, after trying it several times, he found it very difficult to cast it.
The biggest characteristics of space magic are that it is powerful and slow to practice. The reason for this is simple, because it is essentially completely different from other magic systems.
Other magic uses the caster to activate the magic power in their bodies, and then supplements it with specific spells, and finally converts the magic power into moves.
As for space spells, you must first convert your own magic into a magic circle. Then the created magic circle resonates with the magic power.
But the problem arises here. Other magics only require the caster to reach the corresponding level, and then the corresponding spells can be easily cast.
Each move in the space system is different, because each move is a specific magic circle, and most of them are compound and superimposed.
Therefore, after Boom figured out the key point, he was relieved. He never thought that he was a genius, so he naturally learned things slowly.
But the value of perseverance is clearly reflected in him. If he is said to be a stupid bird flying first, then he is tired of flying and has to crawl to the person in front.
There was a thick stack of white paper beside him, and the tip of the quill was stained with ink. He quickly sketched out the magic arrays one by one, but then he was thrown into the stove again.
This state lasted from early morning to noon. After returning to the real world, Rikka saw this situation and quietly walked to the stove to heat the food that had been prepared and serve it on a plate.
After quickly completing another magic circle, Boom also stopped his quill. While eating, he talked with Rikka.
"You seem to be going to the dimensional space a lot lately. What are you doing?" Boom asked with a smile.
"I'm not going to tell you, how is my brother's defense circle training going? Haven't you understood it yet?" Rikka stuck out her tongue and asked.
"It's almost done, but there are still some areas that need to be mastered." Boom looked very excited.
"Then brother, keep working hard. I'm going to bed. It's my turn to wash the dishes today." After that, Rikka slipped into the quilt and stopped talking to Boom.
Boom smiled bitterly and cleaned the plates, sat down on the ground again, and continued to draw defensive formations one by one. The difference from before was that the patterns on each piece of paper were different.
The initiator of this reason was none other than Rikka who hid in the dimensional space. After being inadvertently awakened by him, Boom also applied the theory of "strengthening a single element" to the defensive array. p>
What surprised him was that this somewhat whimsical behavior turned out surprisingly smoothly, and its power was several times greater than the original.
"The cicada whispers, the thin wings quiver, the timid little life, the long-cherished wish to avoid all harm, in my name, defend the magic circle!" Boom softly recited the mantra, and kept recalling the countless copies he had copied in his mind.
Those patterns all over the place.
Red light loomed, and Boom, who was sitting by the fire, held up the black wooden staff and waved four fire defense circles in an instant. The temperature in the Wonderful House continued to rise. Seeing this, Boom immediately cut off the magic output.
.
I saw him walking gently to Rikka, after pulling up the quilt, he turned and left the Wonder House. The biting cold wind passed through the trees, making waves of whimpering. Boom no longer had any worries, and quickly whispered the incantation. Less than two seconds later, a fiery red magic circle with a diameter of three meters appeared out of thin air under the feet. The billowing heat waves spread out, blocking out all the cold wind from the outside world.
A moment later, he stood on the ice again. The same mantra sounded, but this time, a light blue defensive array appeared.
Four water-based magic circles overlapped together, like a film-like barrier with ripples. Boom stood inside it, smiled and nodded, and then started the third experiment.
This time he came to the center of an open space, and following the use of the earth defense array, his whole person was shrouded in the earth shell.
What surprised him was that although his sight seemed to be blocked, Boom standing inside could see everything around him without any obstruction.
And as the magic power dissipated, this huge earth shell also transformed from a solid body into a spot of light, and finally disappeared completely as if it had never appeared before.
There was no hesitation, nor was there any hindrance. Boom quickly waved the black wood staff and recited the last incantation. What appeared again was naturally the wind defensive array.
Boom stood in the center of the magic circle and felt that the wild beast-like cold wind around him instantly became very docile. Instead of the previous chill, it became refreshing and pleasant.
And driven by thoughts, these transparent and invisible winds gradually gathered into four tornadoes. Sometimes they flipped up and down, and sometimes they stayed still.
The magic power in his body has been exhausted, and Boom can only release four attack or defense magic circles at a time. As for the magic power stored in the black wood staff, he has no intention of using it today.
Returning to the Wonder House, it was almost evening. Rikka, who woke up at some point, had already transformed into a little cook and started cooking dinner.
"Today is New Year's Eve, so let me do it. Just wait and eat." Boom walked to Rikka and said apologetically.
"Brother, cook? Let's forget it. I don't want to have diarrhea today." Rikka waved away Boom and replied with a look of horror.
"By the way, how is your cultivation going, brother? Why did you sneak out just now?" Rikka sprinkled some salt into the soup pot and asked again.
"It's no problem. Now I have finally completed the training as a junior magician, but we must not relax in the future." Boom replied with a smile.
As the ancient bell of the Master's Tower rang, people ushered in the new year. On the first day of the cold month, everyone was sitting together with their loved ones, wishing each other blessings and peace.
