Chapter 245 -246: The Sudden Crisis, Successfully Improved Magic (8800 Words Mega Chapter)

“mmp, it’s going to explode?? I just don’t believe it, hey…”

“What kind of joke is this? The Magic Node is actually going to collapse? Do you believe if I add 100 nodes it will smash you?”

“Isn’t it? Even this kind of Magic Circuit doesn’t work??”

“Failed again?…”

“No, the data from the Crimson Moon Analysis Department says that these nodes are supposed to be idling, but why can’t they be removed…”

“Indeed, Earth’s data can only be used as a basic reference, I have to conduct the experiments myself…”

“Hahaha, finally got it right, this Magic Node has finally been removed, it’s damn hard, next one…”

“mmp, this idiot data analyst, actually treating this node as a useless node? I was almost tricked badly, too little data, I still need to keep sending data back, otherwise their help is too little…”

“Hahaha, the super-enhanced version of the Big Fireball Skill has emerged… Damn, how did it collapse again??”

“…”

In mid-November, after over a month of Beastman invasion, Lide, who had sequestered himself for a month, finally opened the tightly shut door of his room.

Nobody knew what he had gone through that month, other than Harrison who interrupted him once to report that this year’s scale of the Beastman invasion was unusually massive, and no one else dared to disturb him.

After advancing to Level 14, Lide’s control over Magic Power had reached a peak, increasing by at least 50% from when he was Level 10.

But even so, the difficulties and number of failures he encountered while improving the Fireball Technique and Mage Shield couldn’t be simply described.

Initially, Lide spent a week trying to improve with little progress, and in his irritation, he directly called over the entire data analysis team from Crimson Moon.

Then, he gave all the data concerning the Magic Model to this hundred-person team, who used modern equipment to help him analyze and eliminate useless Magic Nodes.

Gotta say, the power of a hundred-person team was much stronger than him testing each Magic Node individually.

Crimson Moon, following the basic operating rules of Magic Nodes, helped him eliminate many useless nodes, greatly saving time.

Although there were some incredibly aggravating incidents, like an irreplaceable key Magic Node being marked as useless.

A replaceable Magic Node was considered indispensable…

Many errors along the way caused countless collapses of the Magic Model, and severe backlash left him dizzy, with Magic Blood being consumed as if it were free.

Even though ultimately he still had to conduct the experiments himself, Lide estimated that without the help of the Crimson Moon team, he would have needed at least five times more time.

The whole process was incredibly difficult.

He even estimated that improving a Second Circle Magic was like improving ten First Circle Magics.

200 Magic Nodes and 50 Magic Nodes are completely different concepts.

Too hard.

It’s like a top student facing a super-enhanced version of an Olympic math problem, without some brains and resilience, it really won’t work.

Lide got up and walked out of his estate, taking a comfortable breath, finally able to relax for a while.

Shaking his head, he decided not to think about Magic for a moment, headache.

He walked along the main road toward City Hall.

Stepping onto the street, he paused slightly stunned.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the remnants of daylight cast a warm golden hue on the streets,

with the pointed rooftops around looking like scattered pieces of Gold Puck, and the Bloodline reliefs on the walls were also painted with a golden dye, glorifying the colorful murals of the Dawn Sect with a golden sanctity.

Lide was surprised to find a slight congestion among the bustling crowd on the streets, with a dense mass of heads stretching as far as the eye could see.

When did Dawn City have so many people?

Though the streets had always been busy, they had never been this lively before, Lide even sensed a vibe similar to a Huaxia night market.

Passersby who saw him rarely stopped, all hustling past as if they did not recognize him.

This scene amused Lide greatly. As the master of such a city, in days past, merely walking down the street would have everyone bowing in respect. To be treated as a common passerby was quite a fresh experience.

After walking a short distance, people finally began to bow respectfully, and as he neared the City Hall, more residents inclined their heads in deference.

By the end of the street, where Lide passed, all residents were bending over in a bow; the scene was spectacular.

In contrast, many bewildered residents stared puzzled at this spectacle. Who is that dignitary, and why is everyone bowing to him?

These new residents had no clue why those around them would perform such actions.

Lide, observing this, was somewhat amused. Were these the refugees who had been captured? Ordinary residents wouldn’t dare meet his gaze.

Among these people, only a few still looked at him warily, while the faces of others were filled with hope; Lide keenly noticed this and nodded slightly. The City Hall was doing a good job.

To see how these people were faring in Dawn City, one only needed to look at the expressions on their faces.

And now, these new residents who did not bow to him, hope was once again visible on their faces.

This was good; humans were the foundation of Dawn City, a fact decided by the Bloodline themselves.

Dwarves he could disregard as mere tools, Beastmen could be enslaved for labor, but humans, as the basis for the Bloodline’s development, needed a solid foundation.

A young man in his twenties dressed in linen clothes, after Lide’s figure vanished, curiously approached a fellow resident of similar age.

“That dignitary, is he from the Holy Light Bloodline? Why does everyone respect him so much? Even the patrol leaders don’t get such treatment…”

The freckle-faced boy who was asked lifted his head pridefully, with an arrogant tone,

“That’s our City Lord—His Excellency Kachar, the Clan Leader of the Holy Light Bloodline, and our Protector of Dawn City.”

After saying this, he turned to look at the boy who had asked him, with a hint of pride, he admonished,

“New friend, His Excellency Kachar is the master of this city. No matter your past or status, here, you are a subject of His Excellency Kachar.

You must maintain sufficient respect for the master of this city; otherwise, the embarrassment is on you.”

After saying this, he strode away, chest puffed out, for he was a resident with 3 credits, and these newcomers had to yield to him in the shops.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile contentedly; recently, in the presence of these new residents, he was fully enjoying privileges he had never had before.

Jumping queues while shopping, having special passages where he didn’t have to line up, even getting priority handling at the City Hall if one had high credits…

3 credits were quite ordinary among the old residents, after all, credits from the annual blood donation added to this year’s tax credits from farming, most old residents usually had more than 3 credits.

But these newcomers were different.

These folks had just arrived, their credits were still blank, so he first experienced the thrill of enjoying privileges at every occasion.

Brazenly cutting in line in front of everyone, with envy in the eyes behind him, the feeling couldn’t be too exhilarating.

Hearing these words, the young man who had asked turned away with a smirk and headed towards the medical department.

He knew where the pride of these old residents lay; they had accrued many credits, and lately, he had been pushed aside by them countless times.

If this were the outside world, he could only grit his teeth and accept it, but in this city… he could also enjoy these privileges.

“Once I donate blood and earn back the credits, let’s see if you dare to cut in my line…”

The City Hall had regulations that new residents of the Dawn City did not need to donate blood within the first three months; initially, he also had no plans to donate blood, but now, he wanted the credits, and nobody could stop him.

He simply couldn’t believe it.

Credit holders, as the sole privileged group in Dawn City, naturally received much pursuit.

And the credit system was akin to a nobility system, where the more credits one had, the higher their noble rank,

The only difference was that nobility was something that only a few could have, but credits could be obtained by anyone who contributed to Dawn City.

The pathways for advancement were very clear.

This led to a situation where those without credits would desperately earn them to ascend socially,

And those who already had many credits, enjoying their power, were naturally reluctant to lose it and would strive even harder to earn more.

It was completely unlike the rigid and fixed nature of the nobility system.

Of course, the system was still imperfect now, with the non-expansion of credits and the problem of varying rates of credit accumulation.

But there wasn’t much need to worry in the short term. Li De saw through this clearly; policies couldn’t be unchanged forever.

Adjustments just needed to be made before problems arose, and he would make the relevant adjustments later on. Currently, the credit system could run without major issues for at least five to ten years.

What state Dawn Citywould develop to by then, and what systems would be designed, were uncertain.

So, he knew the imperfections of these systems, but as long as they were useful at the moment, it didn’t matter. Changes could be made later. After all, he was the sole boss here, and how it changed was merely a matter for him to decide.

There was absolutely no need to worry.

This was the advantage of dictatorship.

He strode into the City Hall, directly heading to Harrison’s office on the second floor.

As he entered the open office door, Li De was slightly startled.

Not only was Harrison there, but Nicole, the little girl, was also present. They sat across from each other at the office’s desk, with some documents laid out, clearly discussing something.

Upon seeing Li De, they immediately stood up and saluted.

“Good day, Clan Leader.”

“Good day, Lord of Kachar~”

Li De, unceremoniously, nodded and then sat down on the sofa on the right side of the office.

“How is the progress with the population plundering this month?”

Although Harrison had reported to him once in the middle, he had been at a critical moment in refining magic. Knowing there were no major issues with the population plundering plan and only some abnormalities in the scale of Beastman invasions, he didn’t pay much attention.

Now, in Dawn City, he played more of a role in stabilizing morale. As long as he was in the city, everyone felt a strong sense of unity; he didn’t need to do much himself to have everyone feel reassured.

Under these circumstances, he, as the boss, didn’t have much work to do.

Of course, this was also due to Harrison and his subordinates handling their tasks well.

The City Hall’s system was already relatively perfected, and for the plan of plundering the population, they had prepared more than ten plans three months in advance, otherwise, he wouldn’t have so much time to research magic.

Harrison’s face showed a broad smile.

“Your Highness, this year the scale of the Beastman army’s movements is extraordinarily large, causing even greater chaos, so our plan is progressing very smoothly.

Currently, the plundered population has already exceeded 12,000 people, and Dawn City’s total population has broken the 20,000 mark.

And according to our estimates, by the end of December, at least another 20,000 people could be plundered…

If Frost Month proceeds as usual like last year, it’s very possible that our population this year will break through fifty thousand people…”

Li De felt his heart stir.

50,000 people…

Fifty thousand people, in the eyes of the world outside Glory, would just be a standard small city.

But for Dawn City, which severely lacked population, this was a massive fortune.

Not to mention others, just the Believers alone could bring sufficient income.

He only needed to convert eighty percent of this populace into believers of the Dawn Sect, and then his monthly Power of Faith would at least be in the high thousands; he would no longer need to scrupulously count every digit as he did now.

Subduing Kapu, the 18th level Beastman King, would probably take less than two months.

With enough Power of Faith, what couldn’t he do as he pleased?

And how immense would the production capacity that these fifty thousand people bring? How many among them would be magically gifted geniuses?

Although this was only Harrison’s preliminary estimate, Li De was already somewhat impatient.

Being previously bogged down by the population issue, he finally saw a glimpse of hope for a solution.

“Are you sure? Fifty thousand is far beyond our initial estimate of thirty thousand… Can logistics and public security keep up?”

If Harrison’s estimate was correct, then Dawn City would gain an additional forty thousand people.

This wasn’t a small number; managing it wouldn’t be simple, as accommodating tens of thousands of people in terms of eating, drinking, defecating, sleeping would impose a huge logistical burden on Dawn City, which had less than ten thousand people till now.

A city wasn’t just about having a population; it also required appropriate supporting measures, like addressing housing, arranging jobs, allocating land, among others.

Otherwise, Li De wouldn’t have spent a year preparing for Frost Month, aiming to have sufficient capacity to handle a sudden influx of a large population.

But the initial estimates were that this Frost Month would plunder up to twenty thousand people at most, maybe thirty thousand, but now it was directly doubled, clearly exceeding the original plan.

Nicole then took over Li De’s question, the young girl brimming with confidence.

“Lord of Kachar, no problem, we have prepared many contingency plans, and fifty thousand is a conservative estimate.

Sixty thousand, and Dawn City can completely accommodate it.

After all, this city was personally established by you.”

At this, Nicole’s big, round eyes shimmered with indescribable admiration.

Only after stepping into the City Hall office did Nicole realize how Dawn City had step-by-step developed to today’s heights.

It was all created by this great figure in front of her, with his strong policies, broad vision, and profound foresight, from a city with zero human inhabitants to its current grandeur.

One could say that everything about Dawn City today was created by this handsome man.

Without him, there would be nothing today.

Thinking about this, Niluo stole a few more glances at Lide, whose handsome visage sped up her heart rate and brought a faint blush to the young girl’s face.

Lide nodded in satisfaction upon hearing these words, as they justified his strenuous efforts throughout the year.

“Very well,” he said, “then proceed according to the city hall’s contingency plan.”

He believed in leaving professional matters to the professionals. What he needed now was to set broad directions, not to immerse himself in every single issue—otherwise, with so many forces under him, what else would he have time for?

Capturing populace was a meticulous and systematic task. Last year’s experiences in capturing people had sufficed for the Bloodline to take over the job.

He stayed in Dawn City to handle any potential emergencies that might arise. If there were no accidents, all the better, as he would enjoy some leisure time.

“Nicole, how is the Dawn Sect’s missionary work progressing?”

After discussing the populace, Lide shifted his focus to the Dawn Sect.

The importance of the Dawn Sect had skyrocketed in his heart, especially after the discovery of the Divine Arts for soul assimilation.

This skill was too domineering, but unfortunately, the lack of sufficient Power of Faith left him powerless and merely watching.

He couldn’t help but lament that in his youth he didn’t know to strengthen his back…

Now, with a large influx of new residents into Dawn City, it was the best chance for the Dawn Sect to exert its efforts, and he urgently needed a replenishment of believers.

He was too poor, his Power of Faith strained to the limit, without any surplus on hand.

“Your sister is currently outside personally doing missionary work, but these people have just arrived in Dawn City and are still in a state of panic and watchfulness. It will take some time to see results,” Nicole replied confidently. She managed the Dawn Sect, and although she didn’t worship Lide, it didn’t stop her from devising missionary routes for him.

To Nicole, people were not much different—one was a follower and one not, the only difference being that the former believed in a Divine being.

And a Divine being was simply a life form with greater power.

This girl’s lofty mindset determined that she couldn’t believe in Divine beings, for belief fundamentally required faith.

The faith in the greatness of a Divine being.

Yet Nicole only thought about how to analyse the strength of the other party, which was entirely contradictory, hence, no trace of belief could be seen in her.

“We can add some soothing slogans to the Dawn Sect’s propaganda to address these circumstances. You could design some.”

Lide nodded and did not hurry her, understanding that to reap fruits, seeds must first be sown.

A massive influx of population into Dawn City was bound to cause turbulence of varying degrees.

The role of the Dawn Sect was now primarily to stabilize public sentiment, and it would be challenging to rapidly increase the number of followers in the short term.

After all, suddenly finding oneself in a city ruled by the legendary vampires—even if life was good and safe—inevitably led to unease and fear, making outsiders very wary.

Under such circumstances, missionary efforts could see two extremes—simple-minded individuals finding solace and beginning to believe fervently, whereas rational individuals would remain cautious, wondering, “Could this be a vampire conspiracy?” and thus maintaining a wait-and-see attitude.

If there were a ranking of the most hated dark creatures by humans, Bloodline might not claim first place, but it would certainly be in the top three regardless of who was ranking.

Nevertheless, there was no helping it; the reputation of the Bloodline among humans had long been tattered. Although Lide had tirelessly sought various means to redeem the Bloodline, even changing their coat to “Holy Light Bloodline,” a name with significant infiltration potential.

However, such deeply entrenched perceptions couldn’t be changed overnight. Previous residents had required several months of propaganda and administrative measures to shift their views.

Even with the support of prior residents, it still required some time to change their perspectives.

“As you wish, I will come up with the most suitable missionary phrasing that aligns with our doctrine.”

Nicole’s eyes lit up with divine inspiration as she smiled excitedly, appearing to have yet come up with another idea.

“Clan Leader, this year the beastmen are attacking on a much larger scale than in previous years. According to the information from Audis, this might be the biggest in decades.”

Harrison, noticing their conversation had paused, hurriedly interjected, “Should we do some extra scouting and preparations for this?”

Lide raised an eyebrow. The last time Harrison interrupted his magic improvement was to discuss this matter, and hearing it brought up again, it seemed more serious than he had imagined.

“Did Audis manage to find out the reason? Did Dwarf Valley report this situation?”

Harrison shook his head. “Audis couldn’t penetrate deep into the beastmen’s territory, so they couldn’t gather specific details.

However, Craig has sent back several important messages, stating that the mobilization of the beastmen army is particularly large.

Even the beastmen from Dwarf Valley were drafted, and Craig, unable to evade, still dispatched a thousand-man squad.”

The scale is huge? Even the armies from Dwarf Valley were drafted?

Lide’s eyes showed a contemplative expression.

The ruling system of the beastmen was always tribal, with the Beastman Empire only constructing a large city in the deepest parts of the barren wasteland, while other beastmen lived primitively across the plains.

If the Beastman Empire needed soldiers, they would draft troops from the major tribes to form an army.

This model was very similar to the nomadic tribes of ancient Huaxia.

Unlike them, though, the Beastman Empire had stronger control over the tribes. Any tribe that was called upon had to provide soldiers.

Defy them? The bodies of those who resisted had long since become fertilizer for the barren wasteland.

Because for hundreds of years, the beastmen invaded the border every Frost Month, initially, the Nolan Empire would send troops to forcefully confront them.

However, after realizing the loss of life was too great, the will to engage in battle gradually weakened. The Nolan Empire noticed that after the beastmen occupied the border lands, they didn’t hold them permanently but would retreat to the barren wasteland the following year.

Ultimately, the nobles realized that evacuating the border during Frost Month and allowing the beastmen’s ravages resulted in much lesser losses than direct confrontation.

Moreover, since the beastmen would retreat come spring, they suffered no loss of land.

Thus, the resolve of the border armies weakened over time, and eventually, they simply evacuated the border early each Frost Month, retreating into major cities.

As for the civilians living on the border, they were left unconsidered.

With no protection from the nobles, civilians also devised a survival strategy, congregating in major cities before the onset of winter, returning to their lands when Frost Month passed.

It was an abnormal state of survival, but inevitable. On the Glory Main Plane, life was similarly perilous elsewhere, be it from beastmen, demon beasts, or dark creatures. Because of that, humans rarely moved away from the borders, as other areas could be even more dangerous.

“As long as I run fast, the beastmen won’t catch me.” This mentality was passed down generation to generation on the border.

This was also why the population on the border remained relatively stable.

“Did Recker explain any reasons?”

Harrison hesitated a bit. “Recker speculates that the Beastman Capital sent out the next successor of the Beastman Empire for this campaign.

Beastmen are a race where strength reigns supreme, and only through achievements can one establish prestige.

The current Beastman King is aging, and his successor does not yet possess sufficient reputation. Humans are undoubtedly the best target to establish such prestige.”

“Successor of the Beastman Empire?”

Hearing this title, Lide was intrigued. If it were possible to subjugate this nobly destined Beastman Prince, then…

But then he shook his head amusingly. Could this be considered an aftereffect?

If he dared to enslave the Beastman Prince, he feared that the army of the Beastmen would attack Dawn City the very next day.

The Beastman Empire did indeed have Legendary Level powerhouses.

Moreover, it was only wishful thinking; if such key figures weren’t guarded by strong guards, no one would believe it.

“Yes,” said Lide, “the lion-men are the rulers of the Beastman Empire. The captured Kapu is a lion-man, and he might even carry a hint of royal bloodline.”

“Kapu?” Lide shook his head; he wasn’t sure about the royal bloodline, but Kapu’s combat ability was incredibly strong. However, he had little interest in this matter.

“Never mind, let Craig handle this. What we need is to plunder population, and the matter of the Beastman Prince isn’t something we can interfere in. Send out more scouts; we must avoid contact with the main Beastman force at all costs.”

“No problem. Our direction of plundering population is mainly near the side close to the Far Mountain Range, while the main Beastman force seems to be gathering around the former southern core city—Risier City, located on the southern border.”

Risier City? Lide furrowed his brows. The memory of the Blood Clan Ancestor contained this city, which was established by the descendants of the Risier Country royal family thousands of years ago and had a notable reputation.

The scholars of the Risier family were also renowned throughout the Nolan Empire.

The Blood Clan Ancestor once hesitated between infiltrating Green City or Risier City as both had significant historical backgrounds and profound magical achievements.

Nevertheless, he eventually chose Green City because of a Super Emitter there, for the Blood Clan Ancestor always regarded that Transcendent as an enemy, wanting to know him well in order to possibly eliminate him later…

Of course, that Transcendent might not even remember that he nearly annihilated a branch of the Bloodline, for such beings hunted lives far too powerful to describe, and back then the Bloodline wasn’t significant enough to be remembered by a Transcendent.

“The Beastmen aim to breach Risier City?”

“Can’t confirm,” Harrison shrugged. “As of now, the Beastmen are only assembling their troops, not yet launching an official attack.”

“Nicole, what do you think?” Seeing the little girl sneakily looking at him without speaking, Lide turned his head with a bit of amusement towards this spirited girl.

Startled by Lide’s sudden questioning, Nicole, like a child caught sneaking sugar, blushed on her small delicate face.

“I think that the Beastmen’s target isn’t just Risier City, or rather, Risier City might be the first essential target that the Beastmen need to capture.”

Hearing this, Lide perked up with interest and encouraged the girl, “Go on.”

Nicole looked into Lide’s eyes, slowly regaining her confidence. She turned around, fetched a colorful border map from inside the house, and placed it on the round table in front of Lide, pointing at the map with an emboldened voice.

“Risier City lies midway across the border, and just 500 miles behind this city is Green City.

If they can capture Risier City, then the Beastman army will pose a direct threat to Green City.”

“What better way for the Beastman Prince to establish his reputation than to conquer a core human city with a population of over a million, even one guarded by a Transcendent?”

Upon hearing this bold speculation, Lide’s heart skipped a beat as he gazed at the map, with a slight change in his expression.

Lost in thought, would Green City be conquered?

Even the common folk in border villages would scoff at such an idea.

But, what if the Beastmen really made a serious move?

In terms of national power, the Beastmen definitely couldn’t outmatch the Nolan Empire, but if they seized a large city while the Nolan Empire was unguarded, that wouldn’t seem so far-fetched.

It all depends on how determined the Beastman Empire is.

Suddenly, Lide felt a sense of crisis.

Currently, Dawn City was largely reliant on the continuous support from the Crimson Mage Tower for its development. The Crimson Mage Tower was his source of funds, and if Green City really fell into the Beastmen’s hands, he would be directly hamstrung.

Dawn City’s development was falling into a massive predicament.

Without Green City’s support, Dawn City couldn’t utilize Green City’s existing industrial system for its development, and so its current momentum was definitely stagnant.

Moreover, there was the Dark Contract, the underground world’s giant that recently acquired numerous valuable materials for him, including the armor of Kosso and Castro, all made of precious metals procured by the Dark Contract.

Even the recent intelligence about the specific location of the Dwarf Valley was provided by the Dark Contract.

And not to mention, the Dark Contract was already assembling the urgently needed intelligence network.

His foundation was in Dawn City, but its development couldn’t be separated from Green City, especially since he had already established roots there.

After a moment of deep thought, Lide’s expression grew increasingly solemn. Although the Beastmen were only gathering their forces and hadn’t yet started their assault on Risier City, the potential consequences of this hypothesis were too grave.

The Beastman Prince needed to establish his prestige in order to inherit the Beastman Empire; such a war couldn’t be predicted by normal reasoning because the opponent might not care about casualties and would only look at the outcomes.

“Immediately integrate this hypothesis into City Hall’s contingency plans. Start an assessment of the Beastman’s plan and develop corresponding countermeasures.”

Hearing Lide’s serious tone, Nicole and Harrison were somewhat surprised, but both being intelligent, they quickly realized the severity of the situation.

Their expressions gradually grew somber.

“Harrison, notify Grotto to watch the recent movements within Green City. Also, make sure Craig confirms the truth of this matter.

I need to know everything about the Beastman army gathering near Risier City.”

“Yes!”

Both responded in unison, their expressions grave.

Just moments ago, they were indifferent spectators.

But now, with the opponent’s forces potentially threatening their own influence, Lide felt like he was on a roller coaster, experiencing a frustrating mood.

He immediately decided to personally investigate the truth of the news for Dawn City.

Humans, due to the Beastmen’s frequent invasions, were very slow in responding to the Beastman army’s movements. If the Beastman Prince really had this intention, the chance of success was not small.

Especially considering the special identity of the opponent. Although Green City possessed Transcendent beings, the Beastman Prince’s entourage might not lack such beings, and might even have more Transcendents.

This was a war launched by an empire’s Crown Prince to increase his prestige; it absolutely couldn’t be considered with simple logic.

As long as he achieved his goal, any price the opponent had to pay, they probably wouldn’t rue.

Green City, the most dazzling city in the south, was the best medal of honor.

He took a deep breath.

He had barely relaxed, planning to use this winter to strengthen his forces, but then this situation arose.

Although it was all speculation right now, the potential consequences were so severe that he had to command immediate action in response to what might occur in the future, even though it was just conjecture.

“It’s also fortunate that I enhanced the magic beforehand. If I had received this news earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have had the mindset to retreat for a month.”

As the two left with somber expressions to make arrangements, Lide shifted his gaze to his attribute panel.

The two newly developed spells were conspicuously visible.

Refined Dragon Scale Shield (Extreme Enhancement)
