Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1094: Chapter 389: Wind God’s Son

This skill is very simple; it turns their [Wind Blade] from single-target to area-of-effect.

And [Wind Blade] is equivalent to a normal attack, consuming little spiritual power with a short cooling time.

One could say that the Wind Element Mage is the best profession for farming monsters.

But Cao Xing now doesn’t lack troops for farming; what he lacks are troops with good talent, capable of learning Great Mage skills.

Looking around, these Wind Element Mages each have a special talent: East, West, South, and North Wind’s Son.

But this talent doesn’t add much attribute.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing saved himself the trouble of checking one by one.

So, he directly took out [Gnadi’s Mage Handbook (Orange)] from his backpack.

The moment this Mage Handbook appeared, a strong Wind Aura surged.

On the field, the robes of those Earth Element Mages swayed slightly.

While the group of Wind Element Mage Apprentices stared fixedly at the handbook, their eyes couldn’t move away!

Although they didn’t know what the Lord had in his hand,

they could feel that this thing had an extremely strong attraction to them!

Looking at their eager eyes, Cao Xing said, "This is something left by a Wind Element Great Mage."

"It records many kinds of advanced Wind Element Magic, as well as his original spells."

"But for some reason, this Great Mage has passed away."

"Therefore, I now need an apprentice with good talent to learn the spells in this handbook. Who among you has the confidence?"

Cao Xing didn’t bother to find someone one by one but let them enroll themselves.

Hearing this, the hundreds of Mage Apprentices on the field looked at each other.

They all saw the desire in each other’s eyes, which was a pursuit and longing for magic.

However, they were still very clear about their own strength and potential.

Such a Great Mage’s handbook, learning just any spell from it, could bring a qualitative change to their strength.

It could be said to be an incomparably precious inheritance.

If it fell into their hands and they couldn’t learn from it, wasting this inheritance, that would be a tremendous wrongdoing.

For a while, the atmosphere became somewhat delicate and solemn.

At this time, in the crowd, a Mage Apprentice raised a hand.

Cao Xing’s gaze shifted over.

It was a thin young boy.

His face was somewhat tender, but his eyes were very determined.

Even in the face of Cao Xing’s scrutinizing gaze, he did not flinch but met it steadily.

Cao Xing’s lips curved into a slight arc, also seeing his name.

"Allen, do you want to try?"

Hearing Cao Xing call him, this young male mage solemnly nodded.

"Honorable Lord, I wish to try."

"Very well, step forward."

Hearing this, the young male mage stepped out from the crowd, ready to move forward.

The other Mage Apprentices, seeing Allen step onto the field, wore looks of astonishment.

One of the Female Mages pulled at his sleeve and softly asked, "Allen... are you sure?"

"Your curse..."

This young male mage hesitated for a moment, then heavily nodded.

"I am sure."

With those words, he directly walked up to Cao Xing.

And Cao Xing also took a look at his attributes.

[Wind Element Mage Apprentice: Allen]

[Attributes: Same as above]

[Talent ①: Magic Affinity]

[Talent ②: Wind God’s Seed (A life born when the wind stops silently, he will inherit the fate of the Wind God;

yet... the fate of the Wind God is full of hardships, requiring enduring numerous trials; those with this talent have -80% casting speed and a 40% likelihood of spell failure each time)]

(Note: This talent is growth-oriented, reducing 10% of negative attributes with each potential breakthrough, gaining extra abilities)

[Satiety: 57]

[Loyalty: 63]

(Character Introduction: A Mage Apprentice with a special talent, one among the many Wind God’s Seeds, whether he can inherit the Wind God’s fate, none can be certain...)

...

...

Seeing this talent, Cao Xing’s eyes instantly narrowed.

Goodness, this was the first time he’d seen a talent with negative enhancements.

Directly reducing 80% of casting speed and having a 40% failure rate for every spell cast; who could withstand this?

One should know, for a Mage to fail casting a spell, the rebound could be severe.

A couple of times might be fine, but if it happened repeatedly, it could damage the body and brain.

In serious cases, it could even lead to lifelong paralysis.

Even the other Magic Apprentices seemed to be aware of this young male mage’s situation.

A girl with long black braids gently said, "Allen... don’t go."

"It’s been so hard for you to become a Magic Apprentice already; at the academy, you’ve fainted so many times learning magic that the mentors don’t even dare to let you learn new magic anymore."

Other apprentices also chimed in, "Yes, Allen... give it up."

"It took you two years to learn even a basic Wind Blade Technique."

"With your speed, it’s unclear how long it would take just to get started on this Great Mage’s inheritance."

"Allen, don’t waste this inheritance."

"Allen..."

Listening to the apprentices’ persuasion, a hint of hesitation gradually appeared on this young man’s face.

It was clear that even within the Mage Association, he was among the worst-performing apprentices.

Being born with a debuff is indeed something not everyone can endure.

This young male mage tightly held his Magic Wand, his gaze constantly shifting between his companions and the Mage Handbook in Cao Xing’s hand.

His eyes were filled with a look of conflict.
