Chapter 85: Wish Spell! Third Update
The portal is located near the side.
Soren hesitated but still did not enter, as judging the difficulty of this Chess Dimension, it was likely that the interior of the Wizard Tower would be even more dangerous. This place has been operational for thousands of years and still maintains energy conversion, definitely close to the level of a Floating City. It might have avoided the calamity of the Arcane Empire era for some reason and hasn’t ascended to the heavens. Although Soren possesses the form of a Saint, there are still many ways to k*ll him; a magic energy superconductor pulse cannon could potentially take him out.
There’s no need to rush into such risks!
The most eye-catching feature on the first layer of the Chess Dimension is the Arcane Wish Platform, a mysterious alchemical craft that he cannot comprehend, which can extract the power of the demi-plane to cast a Wish Spell.
Wish Spell.
A legendary level spell, it can also be understood as ‘Wishing Spell’, paying a certain price to fulfill one’s wish.
This wish could include resurrecting a person who can be resurrected, acquiring a large sum of wealth, restoring one’s abilities, canceling a disaster, or even enhancing one’s power, among other things.
In theory, the Wish Spell can grant any wish, but whether it succeeds is hard to say!
Soren has not used the Wish Spell many times.
Therefore, when he came to the Wish Platform, which is engraved with countless runes and surrounded by a strange energy light, he suddenly found himself not sure what wish to make.
Whom to resurrect?
Soren currently seems to have no one he wants to resurrect.
Exchanging for a large sum of wealth?
He is the lord of Modo, commanding the wealthiest trade routes of the Material Plane; his wealth is already sufficient, so there is no need to waste a precious opportunity.
In the end.
After thinking hard, Soren only considered two uses.
One is to use the Wish Spell to eliminate the curse on the High Priest, as the lowest level summoned by the Wish Spell is a Demigod Giant, which may be able to eliminate the curse left by the Spider Queen.
However, the chance is estimated to be only fifty-fifty because the Spider Queen is a Strong Divine Power!
The second use is to rely on the Wish Spell to enhance his base attributes; this was the most desired way of enhancement for adventurers back in the day. The Wish Spell can strengthen inner attributes, but it can only reach a maximum of 25 points.
Moreover, it requires a large amount of soul energy, which could potentially lead to personal downgrade.
Additionally, relying on the Wish Spell to enhance one’s attributes consumes more as it goes further. Back in the day, the most someone enhanced their base attributes using the Wish Spell was by 5 points.
The cost paid was not small either!
Furthermore, the Wish Spell requires negotiation with the Elemental Giants; they can twist meanings in various ways or only adhere to the literal interpretation. If the caster does not have a high enough IQ, they might get confused on the contract. Ultimately, they could pay a huge price but fail to get the desired result.
Only a sufficiently smart caster who understands contracts can conclude a deal with the Elemental Giants.
………
Soren did not think for too long.
He quickly made a decision; if he could only use it once, then the best way to use the Wish Spell would be to enhance his intelligence.
Soren’s current intelligence attribute is 24 points. By using the Wish Spell, he could gain a +1 bonus, raising his intelligence to 25 points. This is his most effective enhancement, equivalent to the attribute boost of two profession levels.
“Are you ready?”
Tower Spirit 13 appeared beside the Wish Platform. It gazed calmly at Soren and slowly said, “The Legendary Wish Spell requires an extra price to be paid. Even if the power of the demi-plane can be extracted to complete the Wish Spell, the negotiation with the Elemental Giants must be completed by you. What you can obtain depends entirely on yourself. If you are ready, I will activate the power of the Wish Platform.”
Soren nodded slightly and said, “Let’s start.”
A spell light appeared.
As Tower Spirit 13 activated the power of the Wish Platform, the surrounding arcane crystals emitted a strange brilliance. Following that, a low murmur of incantation sounded, and the legendary spell began to extract the power of the demi-plane.
The surrounding space began to distort.
With the gathering of spell power, a powerful divine force enveloped this demi-plane.
Elemental Deity!?
In an instant, Soren felt a very strong divine power converge. Shortly after, amidst a gust of wind, a hazy figure appeared. She seemed to be a female with a body formed of wind elements, and he could only see her calmly gazing at Soren. She then waved her hand, producing a goose feather pen and a scroll of contract, calmly stating, “Are you summoning me?”
“A new deity?”
“God of Half-Elves – Soren? What wishes and requests do you have?”
………
God of Wind Element!!!
Soren forgot about a rather important point; that is, he himself is also a deity. If he initiated the Wish Spell, it is possible to directly summon one of the Four Elemental Lords.
There are many powerful existences in the Elemental Plane.
From Elemental Giants to Demigod Giants, then there are the messengers of the Elemental Deities, subordinate deities, etc. If his own strength is sufficient, it is possible to call the Elemental Lords to appear directly.
“I should have let the High Priest come over!”
The first thing that came to Soren’s mind was this, but seeing that he was unresponsive, the God of Wind Element who possessed Strong Divine Power seemed a bit impatient, her expression slightly displeased as she said, “Speak your wish quickly, or I will leave immediately.”
——“God of Wind Element – Arcadi [Strong Divine Power]!”
She rarely responds to Wish Spells in the Multiverse. If it weren’t for sensing the divine power on Soren, she surely wouldn’t have appeared here.
Time was running out.
The Wish Spell has no constraints on such a powerful existence; if she’s displeased, she could leave at any moment.
So Soren thought for a moment and immediately said, “I wish to enhance some of my abilities.”
The God of Wind Element glanced at Soren upon hearing this and slowly said, “Oh? What ability do you need to enhance? This is a contract scroll; write your wish.”
Soren cautiously took the contract scroll, which held an incredible kind of power.
A contract is a transaction.
Soren carefully inscribed his requirements using divine power. After reviewing it three times to ensure there were no flaws, he handed it to the God of Wind Element before him.
“Enhancing intelligence, is it?”
The God of Wind Element’s lips curved into a slight arc; she seemed to emit a soft laugh, like spring breeze caressing the face. She then picked up the goose feather pen and quickly wrote down the terms of the transaction before handing it back to Soren, saying with amusement, “You need to pay a portion of your soul power. If there are no problems, then leave your mark on it.”
Soren carefully looked it over again, reading it five times until he confirmed there were no issues, and then left his Soul Mark.
“Very good!”
The God of Wind Element lightly waved her hand, the mysterious contract dissipating with the wind. Subsequently, a divine power descended upon Soren, while his accumulated Killing Experience began to be consumed rapidly.
A row of data floated before his eyes:
“You have invoked the legendary spell [Wish Spell]!…”
“According to the terms of the contract!… You will pay part of your soul power!… Soul power converted into consumed Killing Experience!… You have consumed 200,000 points of Killing Experience!… Permanently increasing your intelligence by 1 point!…”
“Contract completed!”
“Effect of the Wish Spell activated!…”
“Ritual completed!…”
“Permanently enhancing your intelligence by 1 point!…”
“Your intelligence reaches 25 points, and you gain the legendary specialty [Epic Intelligence]!…”
………
“Epic Intelligence [Legendary Specialty]: You possess an understanding ability far beyond that of ordinary people; any complex spell model cannot challenge you. Your memory and analytical abilities are further enhanced. When casting any spell, you can completely understand and analyze the structure of that spell, allowing you to refine and modify certain spells. In any spell penetration checks, you permanently gain a +1 bonus!”
The ritual concluded.
Soren felt as though he had not changed much, but his intelligence attribute indeed reached 25 points.
The limit of attributes that the Wish Spell can enhance.
“Contract completed.”
The God of Wind Element – Arcadi, who possesses Strong Divine Power, glanced at Soren and then laughed lightly, vanishing with the wind, while the powerful divine power enveloping the demi-plane dissipated as well.
Elemental Lords rarely concern themselves with other matters.
Everything that happened today was just a small episode; she seldom encounters deities who cast Wish Spells, and that is why she appeared here.
