Four magic skills, two Magic Enhancement ones need not be mentioned.
Lyle had always felt that skills like 'Maximize Magic' in YGGDRASIL were somewhat like 'Metamagic Feats' in other games.
They were means that could be unused, but could not be absent.
Of the remaining two spells, one was a large-area control skill, which was the crowd control magic Lyle currently lacked the most.
The other, 'Gravity Reversal', although only fourth tier, felt like a quite practical skill, so Lyle mastered it as well.
As for the 'Earth Attribute Crystal Specialization' magic used by Evileye, Lyle did not learn it; he was not lacking in offensive magic means.
Furthermore.
He did not have the 'Crystal Specialization' elemental mage class, so even if he learned it with skill points, it would only be used as a normal magic method in his hands and would not receive any enhancement.
"Evileye held back after all; being able to obtain these four spells in that level of battle can be considered not bad."
Lyle walked to the window, gazing at the royal capital gradually shrouded in dusk, his eyes flickering with a profound look, then he gently shook his head.
Evileye's truly powerful means were techniques like 'Negative Energy Rampage'; as an Undead, she would not lack dark attribute attack magic.
This type of magic had a great restraining effect on angels, and Evileye had not used it, likely to hide her identity.
There were also means like 'Accelerated Mana Recovery' that Evileye had not revealed either.
Meanwhile!
Blue Rose headquarters.
While Lyle felt regretful about his limited gains, Lakyus and the others were also discussing Lyle.
To be precise, they were discussing this sudden, astonishing battle.
Gagaran's robust body leaned against the sofa, arms resting on both sides, clenching her fists to make the thick muscle lines contract powerfully: "It really gets my blood boiling; such a powerful and brilliant battle, I wish I could have jumped in."
"You muscle-head, you would only be knocked flying at the first opportunity." Evileye, sitting on a single brown sofa not far away, said indifferently.
"Who's a muscle-head? I am a delicate female warrior."
Gagaran curled her lips and retorted loudly.
Unfortunately, those robust muscles and the powerful veins on her neck proved that Gagaran had nothing to do with the word "delicate".
"However, your intuition is indeed sharp; you actually saw so early that none of us were his match." Although Gagaran said this, there was no fear in her eyes; instead, there was a sense of eagerness:
"It's the first time I've seen a fifth-tier angel; it's completely the power of the Hero Realm, but if it were just two fourth-tier angels, I could probably hold them off for a while."
Gagaran retracted her left arm, opened her five fingers, and rubbed her chin forcefully, recalling the battle in the royal capital while speaking softly:
"Angel monsters have relatively monotonous methods, and coordinating with Martial Skills to block them is not a problem, but we would still lose because we couldn't get close at all and would just be worn down to death."
"Hmph."
Tia let out a flat hum: "Frontal combat has never been an assassin's forte."
"It probably still wouldn't work; that monster beside him should be a means to prevent assassinations and sneak attacks."
Tina shook her head and thought seriously: "A monster's sense of smell, hearing, and perception are far superior to humans, and that Ghost Hound's size is not that of an ordinary Ghost Hound; it would only be stronger in this regard."
"Sorry, Tia, Tina, I didn't bring the assassination equipment back." Evileye suddenly spoke, her tone somewhat embarrassed.
"It's okay."
"It doesn't matter now; with the opponent's strength being so high, it's not shameful for the assassination equipment to fall into his hands."
Tia and Tina didn't care at all and were very open-minded.
"Given the opponent's strength."
Evileye said this and looked at the silent Lakyus: "Aside from me, only the captain is capable of fighting him independently among us."
"Ah."
Lakyus raised her head, a wry smile appearing in her emerald green beautiful eyes, "I would be embarrassed if you said that. Actually, I probably am not a match for Lord Tang."
Evileye shook her head.
"No."
"The black-haired one hasn't stepped into the Hero Realm yet... well, that's actually not quite accurate."
"Solely in terms of divine magic caster ability, the black-haired one indeed hasn't stepped into that Realm."
Evileye pondered for a moment and spoke seriously.
The fourth tier corresponds to levels "22 ~ 28"; people in the New World cannot accurately judge levels like players, but they can make a general estimation.
Evileye could not be sure of Lyle's level in Alchemy, so she was not sure if he had truly stepped into the Hero Realm.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Lakyus and the others clearly showed confusion and surprise.
"I know what you are thinking; the black-haired one can summon a fifth-tier angel using a special Magic Enhancement ability called 'Maximize Magic'."
Evileye faced the gazes of the others and said slowly,
"This is a type of enhancement means that can forcibly raise one's own casting level by one tier; it is a technique similar to 'Maximize Magic'."
"It is a quite rare ability, which is why I am certain that the black-haired one's divine magic level has not reached the Hero Realm."
Gagaran and the others showed expressions of realization and astonishment.
"As a woman who serves the gods, how can I easily admit defeat."
Lakyus let out a very faint mutter, a flame flashing in her emerald green eyes, and she suddenly raised her arm to cheer herself on:
"I will not easily admit defeat; in one year's time, I will step into the Hero Realm!"
As a true Genius, Lakyus had never felt such pressure as she did today, especially since Lyle looked about the same age as her.
All along.
Although she had never been complacent because of her talent, she still had the pride of a Genius and a powerhouse, or perhaps deep down, she had developed a bit of slackness without even realizing it herself.
Senior Lygrit arranging for Evileye to join the "Blue Rose" she formed was perhaps meant to remind her not to slack off.
But!
Lakyus had never felt such real pressure as she did today.
I will not admit defeat — Lord Tang!
Facing the suddenly excited Lakyus, Gagaran and the others looked at each other; although they didn't know why Lakyus suddenly became so passionate, they were happy for their captain.
They believed that with Lakyus's talent, she could indeed do it.
A smile also appeared on the youthful face behind Evileye's mask.
"Wait a minute!"
Tia stared at Evileye: "According to what you said, if that guy raises his divine magic casting ability to the Hero Realm, could he forcibly summon a sixth-tier angel?"
"I mean, is there really a sixth-tier angel?"
"Of course, magic has ten tiers."
Evileye nodded naturally: "But don't worry, 'Maximize Magic' consumes a huge amount of mana; the higher the tier of magic used, the greater the mana consumption, so it is a trump card that has to be used..."
Evileye hadn't finished speaking.
"Wait!"
"Stop!"
"Hold on!"
Voices sounded at the same time.
Evileye looked at the crowd staring at her in confusion: "Is there a problem?"
"Did you just say the tenth tier?" Tina had already stood up from the sofa.
In common knowledge, being able to use fourth-Tier Magic was already an astonishing achievement, and fifth-Tier Magic was a Realm that even a Genius needed to exert all their effort to reach.
"That's right, I've only heard of it; it's probably the power that only legendary gods like the Six Great Gods or the Eight Greed Kings could use."
Evileye opened her mouth: "Haven't I said that before?"
Everyone shook their heads.
