Chapter 502: Grand Mage-Level Dark Magic

Xingluo began to recall the magic he had learned. Soul-stealing magic allows the caster to control or influence the target's mind, forcing them to act according to the caster's wishes. This magic can absorb vitality or soul from the target during the release process, thereby temporarily enhancing the caster's own strength or prolonging the caster's life. Soul-stealing magic will cause great fear to the target, making it more vulnerable in battle, and even unable to effectively resist the caster's attack. The caster can imprison the target's soul in an object or space, thereby preventing the target's soul from entering the body. As a spell at the level of a great magician, soul-stealing requires advanced magical knowledge and strong mental power to cast, and it is not something that can be mastered by ordinary magicians who have just been promoted to the great magician. Since soul-stealing involves controlling and harming the souls of others, it is naturally regarded as a taboo magic. The caster may face moral condemnation or backlash of the spell, but this is the abyss, and the people encountered are all demons, so there is no worry in this regard. The most important thing is that there is no group of sanctimonious light sees to mess up here.

Dimensional Shift, which allows the caster or target to move from one location to another instantly, without having to travel through the physical space between the two. This ability is usually classified as an advanced magical technique, belonging to the level of the Dark Master Mage. The caster can use Dimensional Shift magic to instantly transport themselves or others from one location to another, regardless of the distance between the two. Advanced Dimensional Shift magic requires the caster to have a precise understanding of the destination in order to accurately reach the intended location. The caster may need to mark or memorize the destination in advance. Since Dimensional Shift involves manipulating space itself, this magic usually requires a large amount of energy or magicka. The caster may feel tired or run out of magic power due to casting spells, but Xingluo does not have this problem because he is a time and space magician. Dark magic will incur huge magic loss when it forcibly uses effects similar to space magic. Ordinary dark magicians will be exhausted after using space transfer once, but he has no such problem at all. He can even integrate space magic into this space transfer magic. When he casts it in the future, no one will doubt it. If he continues to cast it, at most others will think he is a dark magician who has done a deep study of space magic.

However, there are certain limitations to space transfer, such as the inability to pass through certain magical barriers or specific types of substances. In addition, if an error occurs during the casting process, it may cause the caster or target to get lost or injured during the transfer. As a spell at the Grand Mage level, space transfer is a skill that can only be mastered by experienced and powerful magicians. Generally, Grand Mage-level dark magicians cannot perform it, and can only be performed by magicians at the Mage level. In combat or emergency situations, space transfer can be used as a powerful tactical means for rapid evacuation, surprise attacks on enemies, or rescue of companions.

However, this also involves some other issues. For example, space transfer without the consent of others may be regarded as an infringement of personal freedom. Therefore, the caster may need to face moral and ethical considerations. Xingluo does not need to worry about this. This is a foreign continent, a world where the strong prey on the weak. Whoever can defeat the other will have the right to speak.

Night Tide is a powerful and mysterious dark magic that can only be mastered by those who have reached the level of Grand Mage. Through this magic, the caster can control the power of the night and release an invisible undercurrent of dark energy. This undercurrent can quietly penetrate the enemy's mind and body, causing inner fear and confusion, and directly causing physical damage. When the spell is cast, the stars in the night sky seem to dim, the moonlight becomes hazy, and the caster is surrounded by a misty layer of dark energy. This energy surges towards the target like a tide, eroding its will and vitality. Night Tide can not only affect a single enemy, but also form a powerful dark current on the battlefield, affecting all creatures in a large area. The power of this magic is very strong, but the caster needs to control it carefully, because its power may backfire on the caster himself, or cause a chain reaction of dark forces in nature. Therefore, only those great magicians who have a deep understanding and control over dark magic can safely cast Dark Current. Xingluo experimented with this magic when he was learning it, and the scene was quite spectacular. It was worthy of being the dark magic second only to space magic, and it was far beyond the comparison of the other five types of magic. Moreover, he now lived in the abyss, and even if he did not read books every day, his understanding of the abyss and darkness was constantly strengthening. This was why Xiaoling was able to make rapid progress. Not only was the dark element rich, but if he lived here for a long time, his understanding of darkness would continue to deepen.

After Xingluo added three new magics, he gained some confidence in the next challenge. Each layer of the abyss has its own characteristics. For an environment like this one with harsh environment, it is estimated that there will be less economic activities. Even if someone comes, it is to obtain some rare materials. So he walked for a long time and didn't see any town. He didn't know how long he had been walking. He had already obtained an identity in the previous abyss plane. Now that he came across the plane, his true identity was even more difficult to find out. Even if he passed through several more planes, even high-level demons would think that he had been in the abyss since birth.

Xingluo's identity will be cleared in the shuttle through one abyss after another, so that his risk is minimized. Finally, the hard work pays off. Xingluo sees a city as far as he can see. Xingluo is in a lava-like abyss at this time, and the city he sees is located in a huge underground cave. At the bottom of the cave flows a hot lava river, emitting unbearable heat. The architectural style of the city is strange and spectacular. From a distance, the buildings seem to be a mixture of black rocks and metals. The surface reflects the light of the lava and presents a dark red luster. The streets are paved with a special heat-resistant material that can withstand high temperatures and small pieces of rock occasionally splashed by lava. The residents of the city may have adapted to this extreme environment. Even some weak beings wear special protective clothing to resist the heat wave. In the center of the city, a huge tower stands. It seems to be the core of the city, controlling the city's energy supply and life support system. A huge cooling device is installed on the top of the tower, which continuously releases cold air to provide a relatively cool space for the residents of the city. The city's lighting comes mainly from the light of the lava, but in some remote corners and inside buildings, a softer glow can be seen provided by luminous crystals or creatures and plants.
