Making Scrolls, Planning for Opportunities with Magic Items!
*Bang!* A heavy crash exploded on the Flame Archangel's chest armor.
The Flame Archangel was sent staggering backward, retreating about three meters before its wings beat powerfully, stabilizing its form once more.
Tang Zheng's gaze focused on the Flame Archangel's chest. Aside from a slight dent in the armor, the Flame Archangel clearly hadn't suffered any significant damage.
"As expected of a tank; its defensive advantages are quite remarkable compared to other aspects."
Tang Zheng praised with a smile. Angels, demons, and undead, these three types of summons, possessed a slight advantage over summoned monsters of the same tier.
Angels possessed excellent physical resistance.
Demons were stronger in magic resistance.
Undead had the advantage of numbers. At the same time, the higher the level of these three summons, the more special abilities they would possess.
"Next, let me see what's inside your armor." Tang Zheng brandished the Iron Sword, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He moved his feet.
Tang Zheng's figure had already dashed in front of the Flame Archangel.
Whoosh! The Flame Archangel hurriedly raised the flame sword in its hand, slashing out.
But Tang Zheng's movements were faster.
"*Rapid Slash!*"
A strand of cold light flashed in the air, followed by rapid, ear-piercing bursts on the Flame Archangel's bright silver armor.
Dazzling sparks scattered across the armor's surface! Crack!
The seemingly sturdy armor was forcibly cut open by the Iron Sword, and the Flame Archangel plummeted towards the ground.
Fortunately!
Tang Zheng reacted quickly, grabbing the Flame Archangel's wings and forcefully yanking upwards, pulling the Flame Archangel, which was about to crash into the ground, back into the air.
Silence only eliminated sound.
With the force of that impact, if the Flame Archangel had crashed into the ground, it probably would have created a crater.
"Phew~"
Tang Zheng exhaled, "Almost got discovered."
"So there's nothing inside after all."
Tang Zheng looked at the Flame Archangel's chest, which he had cut open.
All he saw inside was a faint white light, nothing else.
Bang—
The Flame Archangel's body trembled, and its entire being began to dissipate into motes of light.
"The strength is not bad."
"It seems that summoning monsters doesn't increase Experience Points."
Tang Zheng glanced at the Experience Bar on his stats page, feeling a bit disappointed. "This Flame Archangel's attack methods are relatively simple compared to Warriors of the same level, and its speed isn't an advantage either."
"But its excellent physical resistance and ability to fly are enough to hold off people of the same level for some time."
"If there were more of them..."
Tang Zheng turned around and looked at the white paper on the table, a smile appearing on his face.
"Even a powerful Warrior Captain would only be dragged to their death."
In the anime, the Slane Theocracy sent the Sunlight Scripture, one of the Six Scriptures, to assassinate the Warrior Captain Gazef. If it weren't for the Bone King's sudden assistance,
They wouldn't even need Nigun, the captain of the Sunlight Scripture, to take action; his subordinates' summoned Flame Archangels alone could have exhausted the Warrior Captain to death.
And the price the Sunlight Scripture paid was only the consumption of some Mana.
Tang Zheng returned to the wooden table and picked up the Second-Tier paper on the table. "I forgot to ask before: is it absolutely necessary to use parchment to create Second-Tier Magic Scrolls?"
"Let's try it."
"Scroll Production!"
Tang Zheng placed his hands above the paper on the desk, silently chanting in his mind.
Swish, swish!
The paper on the desk moved without wind, dozens of sheets rapidly gathering towards the center.
In just a breath's time.
A pure white Magic Scroll appeared in Tang Zheng's hand.
"Oh? It worked."
Tang Zheng was visibly stunned, looking at the Magic Scroll he had created so easily.
Perhaps it was because he had always encountered problems, big and small, whether he was creating Alchemy potions or healing potions.
Now that he had suddenly created one so easily, Tang Zheng was a little unaccustomed to it.
"Pure white, different from the color of the Magic Scrolls mixed with parchment in the Magic Caster Guild."
Tang Zheng held the pure white Magic Scroll in one hand, examining it, while looking at the remaining Second-Tier paper on the desk, "The quantity is also a bit off."
Originally, there were 1400 sheets, but now there are only 1380 sheets left.
In other words, creating this Magic Scroll consumed 20 sheets of Second-Tier paper.
If he remembered correctly, the Magic Caster Guild used 1 sheet of parchment and 10 sheets of Second-Tier paper to make a Magic Scroll.
"So, the purpose of the Magic Caster Guild mixing parchment into Second-Tier scrolls is not only to maintain the stability of Mana, but also to reduce the consumption of paper?"
Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow.
Indeed, compared to paper containing Mana, parchment was much cheaper.
"Next, is the infusion of magic."
Tang Zheng's gaze became serious, he reached out and unfolded the white Magic Scroll, raising his finger to lightly tap the center of the scroll.
According to Bello Rui Master's method, at this time, it was necessary to inject the magic one wanted to imprint into the scroll, so extra control over Mana was required.
Of course!
A deep understanding of the injected "magic" itself was also necessary.
The casters of this other world mastered magic through their own understanding, learning, and research.
But he only needed to consume Skill Points.
This cheat-like method inevitably resulted in a lack of understanding of the magic he had mastered.
Tang Zheng was well aware of this.
However, he noticed that the way Bello Rui Master injected magic into the scroll was very similar to the passive ability Mana Infusion of his Magic Swordsman class.
Back in Tob Forest, when refining alchemical solutions, he relied on this ability to create qualified Alchemy potions.
He didn't expect that it might also be useful in Scroll Production.
"Success or failure depends on this passive effect." Tang Zheng pressed down on the scroll with his finger, pressing hard, "*Mana Infusion!*"
Bang—
The white scroll shook violently, the entire surface of the scroll rapidly glowing with a blue luster, the Mana flow forming an invisible suction force.
This violent vibration startled Tang Zheng.
He had seen Magic Scrolls explode at the Magic Caster Guild, and the memory was still fresh in his mind.
Seeing that the Magic Scroll in his hand only vibrated once and then calmed down, with no signs of exploding, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Zheng cleared his mind and injected the Second Tier Angel Summoning into the scroll.
One second.
Two seconds.
Five seconds.
...
Ten seconds.
If Bello Rui Master's creation of Magic Scrolls was filled with meticulous detail and natural fluidity,
then at this moment, Tang Zheng's creation of Magic Scrolls felt crude!
Whoosh! The scroll shook once more, the blue luster on its surface rapidly contracted, and the entire Magic Scroll automatically rolled up, appearing on the table.
"It's done?"
Tang Zheng blinked, looking at the Magic Scroll that emitted a faint white glow, and immediately cast a spell: "*Item Appraisal!*"
...
Item: Magic Item - Crafted - Magic Scroll
Tier: Second-Tier
Description: Contains the magic "Angel Summoning"
...
"It really succeeded!"
Tang Zheng said in pleasant surprise, and couldn't help but reach out and vigorously rub the head of the Small Evil Spirit Dog beside him.
Immediately after.
Tang Zheng's eyes flickered slightly: "I originally thought there was no chance, but now I might be able to plan for that special Magic Item."
Others may not know.
But Tang Zheng knew that in E-Rantel, there was a Magic Item with a level reaching [High-Tier · 40Lv], just a little short of reaching the [Highest Tier].
This Magic Item was the highest-level Magic Item he could obtain in the early stages!
Originally.
Tang Zheng planned to obtain the "Cursed Knight" class, and after returning from the Bahharuth Empire, he would then find a way to obtain this Magic Item.
Now that he had mastered Scroll Production, the success rate had greatly increased.
However, the danger was still extremely high!
