章 49: Resolute [2]

Mikhail stood still, feeling the strain in his body.

"Tsk."

He'd underestimated the Professor.

At first, he assumed it was just another Master-rank spell. He had seen thousands like it. Mages loved their flashy, overpowered techniques. 

But what he hadn't expected was how the spell had been tweaked.

Was that even possible? To tweak the spell to such a degree, where the firepower was comparable to the upper echelons of a Grandmaster spell?

The concept of tweaking wasn't totally unheard of, but it wasn't simple either. Only talented mages with years of experience were capable of such a feat.

At best, the circuits could be refined and adjusted up to a certain point where it would consume more mana than normal, resulting in an increase in 10% of the usual firepower.

But in this case, the power wasn't simply 10% stronger.

No, this was beyond that.

110%.
