I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 93: Chapter 93 The Differences Between Instant Teleportation Spells (3/4)
 

As dawn broke, Lide ended this session of magic exchange.

Emi, as he had hoped, learned about the existence of Magic Blood and knew that it wasn’t just Lide’s strength that was unbeatable; Magic Blood also played a role.

This realization made him feel much better after being crushed by a level 10 Mage.

Possessing the improved Small Fireball Skill, along with Magic Blood, Bloodline members who had both were indeed a powerful and terrifying force.

Fortunately, he was now one of them. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Emi’s lips; becoming a Bloodline was indeed a matter of being favored by the Goddess of Luck.

Lide paid no attention to the Bloodline members with varying expressions, and continued to ponder in his seat.

He had dealt with several issues for the day.

He delegated the city district construction to Harrison, while the Magic Tower was Emi’s responsibility; Lide had not yet decided to start on the school.

Right now, without teachers, building a school wouldn’t be very useful. Instead, Mages, who were rare outside, were plentiful in Dawn City, so the Mage Tower could be built first.

In terms of magic exchange, the second-generation Bloodline members had all learned two spells that he had modified.

Especially the Small Fireball Skill – this spell, with its ultra-fast trajectory speed and extreme casting speed, was met with unanimous amazement.

At the same time, Lide ordered all Bloodline members to compile a list of spells they knew and submit a copy.

He wanted to take stock of how many spells the Bloodline currently had at their disposal.

The future Mage Tower needed a collection of spells to serve as its foundation.

If it were humans, Lide wouldn’t issue such an order, as humans have a natural inclination to keep secrets and would not likely reveal their trump cards.

But Bloodline was different; he was the unquestioned ruler among the Bloodline, and as long as he commanded, everyone would carry it out without fail.

Among them, Emi, the blasphemer and level 15 Shadow High Priest, was undoubtedly the one Lide prized most, because the spells he learned were of a different type from the Bloodline.

Most of them were shadow-related spells.

The spells known by the Bloodline had accumulated over two hundred years, mostly those that human Mages knew.

Most were First and Second Circle spells, and the Bloodline rarely had access to more advanced and powerful magic.

Otherwise, the Blood Clan Ancestor would not have infiltrated Green City to systematically study spells. Unfortunately, due to the Blood Clan Ancestor’s poor social skills, after lurking for several years, he did not learn any useful spells, but rather earned a reputation for being a recluse with an odd temper.

There were two spells of Emi’s that Lide found particularly interesting.

The first was a Second Circle Magic: Shadow Jump

Shadow Jump: Briefly traverse the Shadow Plane and then instantly teleport within 50 blades, consuming 70 points of magic power.

Shadow Jump, this Second Circle Spell, is similar to Instant Teleportation, but Instant Teleportation is a Three Circle Magic.

Instant Teleportation: Instantly teleport to wherever the gaze falls, with the spell cost related to distance.

The difference between the two spells is that Instant Teleportation consumes magic power based on distance, while Shadow Jump consumes a fixed amount of magic power.

A strength of Shadow Jump, not found in Instant Teleportation, is that its Magic Model can store magic power and is activated only when used, with a very short casting time.

Moreover, a Magic Model charged with full magic power does not affect the casting of other spells.

Astoundingly magical.

Once the Magic Model is filled with magic power, it only needs to consume 1 point of magic power during each Sunshine Hour to maintain.

A spell that even Lide found incredible.

The first time Lide met Emi, it was with this spell that Emi instantly fled.

Of course, it’s not without flaws; the high cost of 70 points of magic power, even higher than that of an average Three Circle Magic, and the minute-long activation time needed for the Magic Model made it nearly impossible to use a second time in combat. It had to be prepared before the battle.

But these two defects do not conceal the significant advantage of Shadow Jump, which can store magic power beforehand and be activated instantaneously when facing a threat.

“`

This amounted to a powerful escape technique.

Lide now had a few instant teleportation skills, and he mastered three Three Circle Magics in total.

Instant Teleportation, Void Walking, Bursting Fireball.

Among them, Instant Teleportation and Void Walking were defensive escape-type skills, while Bursting Fireball was an attack spell.

The reason why he only knew three Three Circle Magics was quite simple.

First and Second Circle spells were not difficult to find, but spells that reached the third circle and above became very rare. Over the last two hundred years, the Bloodline had obtained no more than five Three Circle Magics, including two auxiliary spells.

Therefore, as the Blood Clan Ancestor, his attribute panel displayed a lonely trio of Three Circle Magics.

Shaking his head, Lide refocused his attention on these few spells.

Instant Teleportation could be cast during combat and could arguably be the most frequently used and most powerful skill among high-level mages in combat.

However, Instant Teleportation had a flaw: the casting time was close to 5 seconds, and the magic consumption increased with the distance teleported.

Teleporting a distance of a hundred blades would consume at least 100 points of magic power,

the advantage being that it could be used repeatedly, belonging to that category of spells with the shortest casting time among Three Circle Magics.

Lide noticed that all instant teleportation skills seemed to have one thing in common: either they could be prepared in advance, or they had extremely short casting times—at least compared to other spells of the same level.

And another characteristic was—magic consumption was the highest among similar spells.

After some contemplation, Lide concluded that instant teleportation spells were not like attack spells, which could trade time for greater power.

But instant teleportation spells were different; these sorts of spells were created for escaping, and almost all magic node designs aimed to speed up casting and ensure safety, fundamentally different from offensive power spells.

Another Three Circle Spell, Void Walking, had not been cast by Lide before.

However, the memory of the Blood Clan Ancestor recorded that Void Walking involved the body entering another dimension, requiring oneself to walk to leave the point of origin instead of teleporting instantly, hence the name Void Walking.

These three instant Teleportation spells each had their strengths. Shadow Jump was undoubtedly the best reactive skill for unexpected events, Instant Teleportation was a skill that could be used continuously during combat, and Void Walking was a divine skill for both escaping and attacking.

Aside from the Shadow Jump, Emi had another skill that Lide greatly coveted, but this skill required a class change to Shadow Priest to use, so he had no choice but to let it go.

Three Circle Magic—Shadow Shuttle: Utilizes the Shadow Plane for long-distance instant teleportation, consuming 150 points of magic power, randomly within twenty kilometers, restricted profession: Shadow Priest.

Lide couldn’t help but be drawn to the skills Emi possessed, but most of them were, regrettably, restricted to the Shadow Priest profession, leaving him no choice but to shrug.

Yet, coming back to his senses, he became interested in Emi’s Shadow Priest profession.

Without a doubt, it was a hidden profession, and Emi had reached Level 14 before even becoming Bloodline, indicating the exceptional nature of this profession.

Even more astonishing, Emi, with the various skills of a Shadow Priest, had managed to escape the pursuit of the Knight Temple, whose bishops were at Level 15. This was simply incredible.

“Emi, what is a Shadow Priest profession? What skills can be gained after the class change? Can you help people become Shadow Priests right now?”

Lide recalled the system prompt from his attribute panel when Emi successfully converted into a Bloodline.

“Ding~ Emi Kachar has successfully advanced to Level 15 and is capable of assisting humans and Bloodline to change class to become Shadow Priests.”

This was why he valued Emi so highly; not only was she a high-level combatant, but also a Class Change Tutor for a hidden profession.

Pride began to show on Emi’s face.

“No, Ancestor Crown, changing class to become a Shadow Priest requires very strict conditions, one of which is that the original class of the person must be a Priest of the temple”

“Moreover, upon changing class to become a Shadow Priest, one must renounce their faith and betray their original divine.

Meanwhile, all skills will be transformed into shadow-type skills, and an additional 30% corrosive damage from shadow energy will be obtained.”

“As long as the conditions are met, I can help anyone change class. The Shadow Priest is a powerful profession with unimaginable strength… Given the right opportunity, I may be able to provide you with a strong casting army.”

A leap crossed Lide’s mind.

“How so?”
