Time was of the essence!
Marcus pressed the button, but it was impossible for him to get help immediately.
Marcus was furious. What was he doing with his Freezing Rain Spell?
At present, being angry was useless.
The cold wind whistled even more fiercely, extinguishing all the flames in the surroundings.
In this alternate dimension, darkness descended once again.
Accompanied by the hoarse call of the terrifying storm, the rain of swords mercilessly flew toward the ground.
An infinite sense of oppression filled Marcus's entire body, but he didn't move at all.
His black hair fluttered in the wind, and Marcus's eyes were as cold as the destruction of the world.
He raised both of his hands toward the sky.
Bang!
His hands seemed to contain the fiercest thing in the world, and suddenly, an enormous amount of fire-elemental energy erupted from that 'thing'.
The Explosive Fireball Spell did not release this kind of energy—it was a new and even more terrifying form of fire magic!
The flame flying upward gathered the purest fire-elemental energy, and then it turned into a lotus flower.
Marcus shouted, "Destroy!"
Countless icicles truly turned into raindrops and scattered on the ground after the fire lotus' baptism.
Whoosh, whoosh...
The raindrops began to evaporate from the ground, and clouds of steam drifted into the air with the wind, disappearing without a trace.
Everything was as before.
[Congratulations to the host for learning the new fire spell, Hellfire Lotus!]
Marcus sat on the ground and finally exhaled.
A teacher suddenly rushed in and asked Marcus with concern,"S-student, are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine." Marcus smiled at the teacher and left, heading to the dormitory.
Marcus was exhausted from the battle, so he hurriedly fell asleep.
However, he encountered the same scene in his dream.
The ice swords were merciless and fell like rain.
However, there was a huge fire under the sky, illuminating the world and enveloping everything around it.
It seemed to be protecting Marcus.
Marcus looked up and saw 10,000 ice swords falling into the fire.
He thought they were completely melted.
He did not expect that the 10,000 swords would actually melt to form a huge ice sword.
At that moment, it was as if a deity was wielding that huge ice sword. It was used to punish the unpardonable people in the world, and it had an inviolable majestic aura.
The ice sword slowly fell to the ground. At that moment, Marcus no longer had any magic power, and he could not use magic to resist.
After a huge explosion, the sky collapsed, and the earth collapsed.
Countless fireballs accompanied the ice sword as it attacked the ground.
Countless cracks formed on the ground without restraint as if it wanted to swallow everything within it.
After a violent wave of dust, the ice sword stabbed heavily into Marcus's body.
"Ah!"
Marcus suddenly woke up and touched his stomach. "Phew, it's alright. It was just a dream."
The sky was already bright.
He was under the impression that he had slept for a few hours, but who would have imagined that two days had already passed!?
It had already been three days since he had learned the Freezing Rain Spell.
"System."
He wanted to see how his Freezing Rain Spell was doing.
[The Freezing Rain Spell's attitude has improved. Current progress: 90%!]
[The host has experienced thousands of ice sword tribulations. The Freezing Rain Spell's practice speed increased to 100%. Current progress: 180%!]
[Congratulations, host. The Freezing Rain Spell has reached Level 4!]
[The host took the initiative to pry into the secrets of ice magic in a dream, so the Freezing Rain Spell was touched. Practice speed increased by 111%. Current progress: 100%!]
[Freezing Rain Spell: Level-5 (Progress 0,1%)]
"..."
Marcus was a little worried. "Are you trying to get me killed!? Also, what do you mean by 'took the initiative to pry into the secrets of ice magic'? You're the one who pushed it to me, okay?"
He originally thought that the temperament of ice magic was the kind of a cold iceberg's. He didn't expect that it was that kind of mischievous personality that liked to trick people.
[The Freezing Rain Spell has realized its mistake. Practice speed increased by 123%. Current progress:10%!]
"Good fellow."
Marcus shook his head and said, "As long as you practice hard like me and get along with the other spells, it will be fine. Don't pull such dangerous stunts in the future. Otherwise, I won't stand it, nor will the other spells.
"Freezing Rain Spell, did you comprehend something in my dream?" asked Marcus.
[The Freezing Rain Spell comprehended vague insights.]
"Something is better than nothing."
Marcus stretched his body and mobilized the magic in his body. He realized that he had almost recovered.
"Ha!" Marcus unleashed ice magic with one hand and fire magic with the other.
After the two were fused, they suddenly turned into water vapor and disappeared.
"Eh?"
Marcus was a little surprised when he saw that.
It seemed that he had really thought too lightly of everything. Although he had the system, it was not invincible. As such, not everything would be smooth sailing.
"It seems that I need to go to Mentor Gerry for advice."
Marcus got up and went to look for Gerry.
At the same time, he encouraged himself on the way to practice the Freezing Rain Spell.
He must master the two-in-one magic.
This is the fastest way to improve their own strength!
