Chapter 159: Chapter 159

As it turned out, even with magic spells that could reduce consumption, the consumption would not decrease when the star level increases.

Du You burnt a lot of the crystal coins to finally complete the shield spell in his hand, raising it to the peak of level 6. But looking at the pitiful amount of crystal coins he had left, Du You could not be happy.

Now, after a lot of consumption, his crystal coins have dwindled to just over a thousand. Considering the overall increase in level, Xiaozi’s consumption, and his own, it’s quite good to have this much left.

"Looks like, before entering the Giant Beast world, I can’t consume anymore. I must ensure a reserve of 1,000 crystal coins," Du You determined, firmly resolved not to be reckless.

Last time when he created the Cursed Crow King, it was because he hadn’t enough crystal coins that the first professional summoned beast only got eight stars. Although the job transfer was completed, the star level had not reached the highest.

If he’d had enough crystal coins at that time, he could have raised it to 10 stars by continuing to burn. In that case, the curse power would be stronger. This time, he needed to prepare well no matter what.

Next he needed to see how his new spell worked. With a move of Du You’s heart, a transparent shield appeared before him. In the air, there was only a faint purple halo. Under the flow of the halo, a pattern seemed to form, but it was faint and indistinct, impossible to make out what it was.

After experimenting, Du You discovered the characteristics of the shield spell. As long as he thought about it, it could be activated instantly. And its size could be adjusted. The bigger the shield, the greater the consumption, and vice versa.

At its largest, the shield had a radius of two meters, acting much like a wall, providing a comprehensive defense. To protect himself, he could shape it into a quarter sphere, blocking all directions except the rear.

This instantaneous spell, with its extreme speed and range equal to his spiritual range, could be activated within a range of ten meters. If he had no spiritual perception ability, then the shield spell could only be used within two meters of himself, which was a surprise.

However, this spell was not without drawbacks. Its biggest issue was that it couldn’t be sustained for a long period.

It wasn’t that it couldn’t be done, but that maintaining it for a long time would continually consume Magic Power, and this consumption was extremely fast. In just a few seconds, much of Du You’s magic power had been depleted.

Du You, who had a sudden scare, quickly deactivated it.

"It’s okay. As long as it can be instantaneous, I’m sure my spirit will react when in danger. I can just block for a moment and then shut it off," Du You reassured himself.

This required him to be extremely proficient and to time it perfectly. Because holding out even a moment longer would consume a significant amount of magic power. If it weren’t for the support of level 8 Spiritual Lock, others wouldn’t be able to utilize it well.

Being instantaneous and not requiring a cooldown, this skill provided Du You with more room for further improvements.

Now what was left was to practice continuously. But how strong the defense of this shield was, he didn’t know. The inherent defense of the Shield Spell appeared very strong. After his enhancement, it should be stronger. But how to test it? It seemed that both Xiaozi’s innate ability and her star level were 10 stars. Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

Du You’s eyes lit up slightly, "Why not give it a try. The Thunder Light Orb is an energy body and shouldn’t make too much noise. By nullifying it, maybe we can learn something."

Du You had a bold and daredevil idea. When this idea appeared, the flame in Du You’s heart could not be suppressed anymore. "Well, let’s give it a try. Just once won’t hurt." Du You compromised with himself.

Xiaozi, who had just been sent back, was suddenly summoned out by Du You again. Xiaozi was still muddling along. Seeing Du You, she flapped her wings and twitched her head, seemingly asking why she had been summoned.

Du You coughed lightly, "Ahem, Xiaozi, aim at me, no, aim at the ground beneath my feet, and release a Thunder Light Orb. Just one, okay, start now."

Xiaozi didn’t understand, but she couldn’t ignore the master’s words. Her body flickered with electricity and a purple Thunder Light Orb formed instantly. When it was actually used to attack, the formation speed of the Thunder Light Orb was quite fast, Du You thought.

The next moment, Du You’s eyes narrowed because the Thunder Light Orb was too fast, and his eyes couldn’t keep up with it at all.

Fortunately it was within his spiritual perception range. As soon as the Thunder Light Orb formed, Du You sensed danger. Even without time to think, he had already calculated the trajectory of the orb, everything was instinctual.

Even using the shield spell at this moment seemed like an instinct. With a thought from Du You, the shield formed instantly. In the void, the faintly purple Shield Spell emitted a barrier, and was hit by the Thunder Light Orb as soon as it appeared.

"Boom!" The massive vibration and sound were like a bomb exploding. The Thunder Light Orb disintegrated instantly, but his shield was not damaged at all, this defense was indeed strong. Du you knew, it’s not because the shield spell is better than the Thunder Light Orb, but just because there was only one Thunder Light Orb. Xiaozi could release up to nine at once.

If there were nine orbs at once, even if his Shield Spell could block it, it would come at the cost of consuming more magic power. Whose loss is greater can only be known after comparison.

At the same time, the speed of the Thunder Light Orb also made Du You realize how dangerous it really was.

The Thunder Light Orb exploded, and a large amount of thunder and lightning spread out. The dazzling light broke out and then disappeared.

All the metal items in the house jumped at the same time. After they landed, there was still a little glow on the metal. This was the impact of the dispersed lightning on these metal items.

The next moment, the lights in all the houses on the entire floor switched on. Then the sound of windows and doors opening mixed with footsteps began to ring out.

"What on earth happened in the middle of the night, what just exploded?"

"What’s going on? Are they fighting, or have alien beasts come?"

"Hey, anyone see what just happened? It’s not dangerous, is it?"

Du You realized he’d made a mess, and he glanced nervously around, "No one saw, right?" He had just been too reckless. Thankfully, he had blocked it, otherwise the police would have been called. He swore that he wouldn’t be so reckless in the future, his heart skipped a beat.
