Chapter 724: Chapter 461: Legendary Alchemist Philip
Jade City,
Lis was staying at the headquarters of “Nature’s Wrath” (the former site of the Illiser Family in Jade City), wandering around and studying the magic runes and magic arrays scattered throughout the headquarters.
The entire site of “Nature’s Wrath,” except for the core spire and the magic runes in the martial arts arena that were likely arranged by the Legendary Mage, had rather ordinary magic runes elsewhere.
Due to the lack of severe attacks for a long time in the Elf Kingdom, Illiser hadn’t devoted much attention to the layout of Jade City and the Elf Royal City.
For the past few days, Lis had been immersed in studying the magic runes at the headquarters, especially the ones arranged by the Legendary Mage.
Although he still couldn’t personally inscribe magic runes and arrays of that caliber, he had learned to understand these runes and had begun to attempt to analyze them.
In Lis’s view, the style of the Elf Clan’s magic runes was somewhat different from what Mr. Stephens had taught him.
Just like the architectural style of the Elf Clan, their magic runes, compared to those often used by human mages, were more intricate and complex, especially adept at manipulating energies of the Earth Element, Water Element, nature, and life.
However, the increased complexity of the Elf Magic runes also made the circuits of Magic Pattern and Magic Array more unstable and more susceptible to external influences.
Lis studied the Elf Magic runes here not to master them completely but to learn and incorporate the beneficial aspects from them.
While studying the Elf Magic runes, Lis constantly experimented hands-on, also becoming gradually more familiar with the new powers he had acquired.
After the baptism by the World Tree, Lis’s Attributes had seen significant improvements; although he had smoothly mastered the powerful new strengths under the system’s organization, achieving adept utilization still required some time.
For the foreseeable future, Lis prioritized becoming proficient again with his newfound strengths.
Also, Lis needed to adjust his combat style accordingly.
Previously, even though Lis had many specialties and buffs, including the basic profession specialties of a warrior, his direct combat ability was not inferior to that of a warrior or other Professionals of the same level.
However, due to his previous life habits as a Mage, Lis unconsciously still preferred to maintain distance and suppress enemies with firepower during combat.
Even in close combat, he often oppressed his opponents directly with adept skills and overwhelming strength, making it difficult for them to counter effectively.
This approach was quite effective against less powerful enemies, often achieving victories without injuries, but it revealed shortcomings against equally or more potent foes.
Especially now that Lis’s strength had far surpassed his previous life as a player, he was likely to face many enemies beyond his expectations.
For instance, during his recent journey to the Elf Forest, he barely escaped from the pursuit of the Legendary Vampire; afterward, he also directly experienced the destruction of Elf Royal Court by Demon Prince Demogorgon—multiple experiences left Lis with a sense of urgency.
After obtaining the basic profession specialties of a Martial Monk, the Attributes closely related to physical strength—agility, strength, and endurance—had reached attribute enhancements, undergoing a transformation akin to a rebirth, achieving heights unreachable by ordinary Professionals of the Golden Rank.
Particularly after the increase in Endurance Attribute, Lis’s body now seemed to possess endless energy, whether traveling long distances without rest for several days or engaging in prolonged fights on the battlefield, he maintained high focus and abundant physical strength.
With the buffs from specialties like “World Tree’s Favor,” “World Tree·Primordial Baptism,” “Advanced Tenacious Life,” “Advanced Life Source,” and “Dawn Body,” Lis’s body had become absurdly resilient.
He felt his body was now as hard as steel, able even to withstand the slash of swords and the pierce of arrows with no protection.
Even when seriously injured, he could recover rapidly with astonishing recovery power, as if harboring an immortal force within.
The range of body enhancements and improvements had broken new ground after the baptism by the World Tree, filling in the last gap in Lis’s physical strength.
This also meant that, at least in fights of the same rank, Lis had virtually no weaknesses that could be exploited.
Additionally, the increase in physical strength also freed Lis from former concerns, allowing him to employ more special tactics in combat.
The most direct effect was that Lis now had the confidence to employ tactics involving trading injury for injury.
In the past, even when Lis completely overpowered his enemies, he would avoid wounds, thus forsaking some better combat opportunities.
This wasn’t as noticeable against weaker foes, but against stronger enemies, the opportunities were already scarce, not to mention letting them slip by so easily.
Now, Lis no longer needed to worry about getting injured in combat, even able to opt for greater sacrifices to seize better opportunities.
Thus, for Lis, it was quite necessary to promptly change his combat habits and mindset.
As Lis pondered all this, he realized there were still many things he needed to do.
Apart from continuing to enhance his own strength, he also had to oversee the organizational affairs of “Nature’s Wrath.”
