85 Sunlight Shines into the Seabed

Chapter 85. Sunlight Shines into the Seabed

Choose two spells to imprint: one is "Elemental Hammer" (mentioned earlier), and the other is "Elemental Bag".

The latter's function is to temporarily gather a certain magic power into a small pocket, which can be used when necessary.

It can be considered a temporary means of boosting magic power.

These "elemental pouches" are extremely rare, containing every element of magic, and each one has a unique rune and spell model.

Kroa only learned the basics of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but that was enough.

He began by imprinting the elemental hammer.

This time, the chosen imprint is still a Kabamon tooth. Since they chew with their teeth, it's definitely more suitable to imprint it on their teeth.

"If we inscribe a second spell after already having one, will the spell model and effect conflict?"

To be honest, he wanted to try it and see how it went.

Recently, most of the imprints have been of magical plants; there are very few imprints of magical beasts like this.

What happens when two types of magic are imprinted on the same place?

In his line of sight, the Kaba Beast Star Spirit, composed of lines, already had a spell model representing hardening at the position of its teeth.

However, as he projected his consciousness and began to cast the Elemental Hammer, the hardened spell model actually merged directly with it.

No, it can't be called fusion either.

Although the spell models that constitute magic are integrated into one, each individual element remains independent, as if they were enveloped by something larger.

A notification came—

[Imprint successful, Kabamon - Fang (Elemental Hammer)]

When the Kabamon casts this spell, it will create an elemental hammer enchantment on its teeth, which will be triggered every time it chews an object.

[Kabamon can choose a specific tooth to have the Elemental Hammer effect.]

[Because the teeth have been "tempered," the engraving spell will undergo some changes.]

[The two magics have been fused, and the current imprint magic of Kabamon's Fang has been changed to: Elemental Steel Fang.]

[It possesses both the "Tempered" and "Elemental Hammer" effects.]

"Huh?" Chloe blinked.

It actually worked! And the two types of magic have been combined?

The two types of magic he saw were clearly distinct, with no signs of fusion. Could being enveloped in a single entity also be considered fusion?

So if this new "Elemental Steel Fang" is recorded, will it also give other monsters both of these effects after being imprinted on them?

It's different from the previous Solid Magic Bottle Grass.

This thing isn't a unique imprint; it means it can be used with other monsters.

And most importantly: what would it be like if he used it himself?

Out of curiosity, Kroya gave it a try.

The new spell formed by these two spell models was not difficult and could be easily cast by him.

As I felt my teeth become extremely hard, there were also traces of crimson and orange magical light attached to them, making my teeth seem like some kind of strange magical artifact.

"That's a bit strange..."

Kroya took out a loaf of bread and tried to bite into it. The bread broke easily, leaving burn marks on it.

The more I looked at those signs of anxiety, the more familiar they seemed.

Like... uh, toast?

Toasting bread inside your mouth?

Feeling like he had discovered a new continent, he continued eating bread. As the bread was bitten into small pieces, the magic attached to his teeth burned it, and the magic seeped into it.

Each loaf of bread is filled with the aroma and magical flavor of baking.

To be honest, it was actually quite delicious...

After finishing the bread, he suddenly remembered some mukbang videos he had watched in his previous life—some mukbang videos would mix various foods together and chew them together.

If they learned this magic, they would truly be able to cook with their mouths.

It's really fun.

"Um……"

Kroya licked her lips and couldn't resist eating another piece of bread, this time with jam on it. The taste was indeed much better after being heated and baked by magic.

Only after finishing the meal did he begin to inscribe the second spell.

This time, the chosen location for the engraving is... the stomach.

He was eager to see if the magic could be successfully combined this time.

Soon, the engraving was completed.

[Imprint successful, Kabamon - Stomach (Magic Bag - Fire)]

When the Kabamon absorbs magic, it can store a portion of it in its stomach and regurgitate it when needed.

[Because the stomach has been imprinted with "Magic Forging," the imprinting spell will undergo some changes.]

[The two types of magic have been merged, and the current imprint magic on Kabamon's stomach has been changed to: Magic Stomach.]

[It possesses both the "Magic Forging" and "Magic Bag" effects.]

"really."

Kroya nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that these two types of magic can indeed be combined into one.

He tried learning it again and then put it into practice.

This spell was different from the previous one involving the Magic Steel Fang; he didn't intentionally target the teeth, but simply cast it.

Crimson magic gathered in his palm, forming a crimson pouch about the size of a palm. The magic inside pulsated, possessing the effect of magic tempering.

As he poured more magic into it, the magic surged more and more violently, and the effect of the training was clearly increasing.

"Hmm? Wait a minute." He stared at the bag thoughtfully, then suddenly clapped his hands. "Can't this kind of magic create magical artifacts? Wouldn't that be equivalent to an automatically forged magical artifact?"

There are indeed magical artifacts called magic bags, which can hold magical energy. When necessary, mages can take them out and absorb some energy to temporarily enhance their strength.

Logically speaking, his idea should be feasible.

However, upon closer examination, issues of cost and speed arise—firstly, crafting such a magical artifact requires considerable effort, and secondly, it lacks the ability to stably control magical power, requiring him to take care of it.

In comparison, fully automated ore forging machines like the Kabamon only require feeding them ore and fodder, and they will regulate their magic to forge the ore themselves.

That would be incredibly convenient.

Whether many magical artifacts can be created depends mainly on their cost-effectiveness. Obviously, this thing's cost-effectiveness is quite low compared to the Kaba Beast.

It's fine to make one for fun when you're bored, but if you're going to mass-produce them, it's better to just buy more Kabamon and imprint them with magic.

After completing this attempt, he then imprinted the remaining Kabamon—but these were all the older Kabamon, as the newer Kabamon were not yet accustomed to eating iron.

However, if he continues to be affected by Kabamon, it's only a matter of time before he gets hit by iron.

There's no need to be too hasty.

He observed the Kaba beasts for a while and found that they didn't seem to be very used to this magic.

Obviously, it will take some time to adapt.

"Sigh, you'd better take them out more often."

Kroa patted the head of the largest Kaba, which barked at him before continuing to gnaw on its ore.

"..."

Being too indifferent isn't good either.

Shaking his head, Kroya walked up to the mushroom, bent down, and examined the mushroom and the angel on it.

The mushrooms continued to quietly emit a white halo.

The angel above it looked blank and lifeless, completely lacking any sense of liveliness or soul.

"Why can't you identify it?" Kroya asked, puzzled. He had used the Astral Imprint Technique to examine it many times.

However, they were unable to obtain the name of this mushroom.

That's pretty strange.

Is it because my magic power is insufficient, or is this thing's rank too high, making it impossible to identify it yet?

"I don't know if this method will work."

He thought for a moment, then tentatively transferred his consciousness to it, just as he had done to the Holy Light Clover before—

"Your name".

"What's your name?"

"I want to know."

After trying many times without any response, the mushroom and the angel on it completely ignored him.

However, he was still given some divine power as usual.

No answer is no answer, but the power is still given...

Kroa had no choice but to leave.

It seems we can only wait until Baron Kmoyer sends the new materials and then continue to feed it divine power to see if anything changes will happen.

……

After leaving the lake, Kroya did not return to the castle, but instead took the ibex and black-feathered chickens to the seaside.

On the seabed of the air coral base, there are those peculiar ancient pasture fungi. He had long wondered if he could find some herbivorous animals to put in and try it.

Now is the time.

While argali sheep are indeed herbivores, black-feathered chickens are omnivores, typically consuming insects and other meats.

Perfect timing! The fishtail ducks go out to sea every day to catch all kinds of fish and shrimp, so let them eat along with them.

The only problem is the sunlight. After all, they are different from ducks and cannot leave the bubbles to go to the surface of the sea, but they still need to bask in the sun.

It's not complicated. You can simply use the reflection and refraction of light to install a light collector and then transfer the light source to the seabed through a pipe.

As a clever mage, he had certainly made such a gadget long ago, and perhaps due to the material, it was quite efficient at refracting light.

The reason the chickens and sheep weren't brought directly to the seabed was to create this device. With sunlight and a small heating array, they would be able to live there.

He quickly herded the sheep and led the chickens to the seaside.

Getting them into the water and down to the seabed was actually a bit tricky. Kroya had to make two or three trips to use bubble magic to bring them to the seabed.

Then, without stopping, they installed the light-collecting devices and pipes they had made on the sea surface.

It took about ten minutes to install and secure the device, and then the magic crystal on the light collector began to refract sunlight and transfer it to the seabed.

Perhaps it was the golden sunlight never seen before on the seabed, which shone down silently, illuminating an area of ​​about half an acre.

The ducks living on the seabed, along with the newly arrived blue sheep and black-feathered chickens, immediately became restless and all ran out to lie in the sunlight.

They live in harmony, with no fights or territorial disputes.

It has a sense of peaceful and serene times.
