The Moon Thief

When Heinald met the conditions for the trade, he was given a copy of the contents of each of the six High Rank spells. He thought that he could learn element-based High Rank spells without much difficulty. However, Dark Spells worried him.

Heinald began to read the contents of the spells.

"Light Flow: Gain lightning-fast dash three times within twenty seconds of being cast. If cast twice in a row, it can inflict permanent damage to the body."

This spell was not an offensive spell. It was more of a spell used to escape or catch.

"Akreem's Eye Stone: Suppresses the Fire Element power of all creatures within 500 meters by 30% for 20 seconds after it spawns. If the stone is destroyed by an external factor before the time expires, the effect is removed."

This spell was a very effective support spell. It was very effective against both Magical Beasts and Ainsars.

"Toxic Instinct: A toxic gas is emitted within ten meters of the surrounding area. Everything that comes into contact with this gas begins to rot due to the intense poison. It is an extremely dangerous spell that needs to be mastered."

Heinald couldn't help getting goosebumps as he read the description of this spell. There should be absolutely no problems during the casting process of this spell. Although he was very confident about it, he could hurt himself if he made such a mistake.

Heinald began to read the descriptions of the three Dark Spells given to him.

"Cursed Widow's Mark: The Black Mark left on any Ainsar or beast allows you to sense their position as long as they don't change dimension. This mark is unnoticeable unless you apply it to a life form of higher Level than you.

Heinald loved this spell. This spell could certainly be quite helpful in various situations.

"Black Fire Meteorite: Drop a small meteor made entirely of Black Fire on the opponent. This meteor, if its damage is sufficient, destroys everything within 200 meters."

When Heinald read the description of this spell, his heart started beating fast. He was finally able to obtain an attack-type Dark Magic. He still clearly remembered the devastating power of the Black Fireball that he had recently witnessed. Most likely, the destructiveness of this spell would be even greater than that.

In the case of attack-type spells, their direct damage was directly dependent on the strength of the caster. For example, if Heinald had used his Infernal Fireball spell when he was a Level 3 Ainsar, the fire destruction would have been much more terrifying and powerful.

However, there was one important factor. Even if he was a Level 3 Ainsar, he wouldn't be able to increase the area of ​​effect of this spell or the duration of the lava pit he created afterwards; because this was directly related to the spell's pattern. To change it, he had to change the runes and seals in the spell's structure.

"After learning these spells, my already quite high combat power will become exponentially stronger. So I have a chance to win even against a peak-phase Level 2 Ainsar. But for a Level 3 Ainsar, I will still be a bug."

After Heinald finished reading the spells' descriptions, he was quite excited. Each of these spells had hundreds of pages of content filled with very complex runes and symbols. Although he could keep them all in his memory perfectly, it would be very difficult for him to construct them in his mind and start the casting process.

Still, he would not deny the fact that he was very lucky in this regard compared to other Ainsars.

Heinald went to Towsak the next day. Towsak's personal room within the tower was, like his, on the lowest floor of the tower.

"Hi! Is something bothering you?" Towsak was surprised to see him. He usually preferred to say what he had to say to the entire council.

Heinald said, "There's nothing bothering me, I'm just here to tell you about a decision I've made."

Towsak was excited. He hoped that Heinald had decided to help them, and waited for what he had to say.

"I will need a large area to learn and practice new spells. So I decided to wander around the desert. So if I encounter creatures, I can try the spells I learned on them." When Heinald saw his expression, he informed him of his decision.

Towsak was disappointed when he didn't get the news he had hoped for.

After Heinald informed him of his decision, he left his side and proceeded towards the tower's exit.

After exiting the tower, he walked through the streets of the city of the Kawtils and moved towards the great gates of the city.

When he left the city and stepped into the desert, he began to travel towards the middle of the desert.

****

"He did go to the desert,huh?" Avnr had a cold expression on his face.

"Yes, he needed a large area to train with the new spells he learned." Towsak nodded.

"Hmph! Only a fool would believe that. He probably got what he wanted and now he's leaving. He didn't choose to fight on our side." Avrn's expression darkened.

"Wouldn't he have told us straight if he wanted to go?" Towsak asked.

"He was obviously afraid we wouldn't let him." Avnr waved his hand, "Since he won't help us, we'll catch him and find out how he got here by force."

"Are you sure?" A worried expression appeared on Towsak's face, "It might be the trump cards he has. After all, he came from the Ainsar World."

"He can't fight against all of us." Avnr shrugged casually, "There would be great danger to us if the Ulltemols somehow got hold of him and made him talk."

"I think we should wait a while and observe his movements. Thanks to our Protection Formation, we can see a large part of the desert. If he tries to get out of the desert, we'll go after him and attack him. If he comes back, that means he's already planning to help us."

Towsak thought Heinald still had a chance to help them.

After thinking for a while Avnr said, "Okay!"

While all this was going on, Heinald was wandering through the vast desert. He had memorized the patterns of all spells before he left the tower.

If someone saw him, he would say that he had a very thoughtful expression. This was because he was still analyzing the patterns of these spells. High Rank spells were very difficult to cast and were very complex in content.

Although he could remember all the content accurately, he still had a hard time analyzing them. Dark Spells in particular was much more challenging for him.

He traveled non-stop for days and analyzed the pattern of the spells in his mind. He finally finished the analysis. Now it was time to successfully implement the casting process.

Light Flow!

He started casting the first spell he wanted to try. A large number of small-sized lightning bolts appeared on various parts of his body, but after a while, they all disappeared.

"I had no problem constructing the pattern of the spell in my mind, but I made a mistake in the process of integrating my Magic Energy with the pattern. My Magic Energy fluctuated too much and upset the balance." Heinald evaluated the process and the mistake he made.

If he had made a mistake both while constructing the pattern of the spell in his mind and while integrating with the Magic Energy, he would have encountered a backlash and could have been badly injured.

Fortunately, thanks to his impeccable memory, he had no trouble constructing the pattern of spells in his mind.

Heinald repeated the same process dozens of times and failed in all of them. Since this spell was a movement spell, the cast time was quite short compared to other spells. He thought that if he could integrate Magical Energy with the pattern of the spell without making it fluctuate too much, he would be able to cast that spell in half a second.

He patiently tried again and again and failed again and again. He tried dozens of times over the course of a few days. Under normal circumstances, he could have done a lot more trials, but he thought it would be more important to draw a conclusion from these trials. So after each failure, he took the time to think about the reason for that failure and how to overcome it.
