I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 797 - 495: Fleurette’s Magic Seal

In the following period, Chen Lun resided within Lady Fleurette’s Meteor Tower.

Though he stayed there, he actually never rested, spending three consecutive days in the attic with Lady Fleurette and her disciple studying magic.

At a Mythical Level of life, very few high-ranking beings sleep.

Unless they are severely injured or face special circumstances such as being on the verge of a mental breakdown or losing control, they might consciously allow themselves to fall into a deep sleep to minimize loss and recover over a long period... Otherwise, high-ranking beings would not waste time on such meaningless activities.

After all, mythical beings cannot be seen from a human perspective. To give the simplest example, the "Golem Life" trait that Chen Lun imitated from Carmen has freed him from most inherent human attributes, including eating, drinking, breathing, and even physiological activities like excretion, let alone sleep.

Furthermore, Lady Fleurette and her disciple were already research fanatics. They could go without sleep or food, staying in that tiny spire for decades or even centuries without stepping outside. Compared to them, the homebodies Chen Lun had seen in his previous life were barely comparable.

According to Lady Fleurette, such a lifestyle had already persisted for a thousand years. The last time she went out traced back to the end of 2405 by the Solar Calendar, before she was "trapped" inside the Meteor Tower.

Chen Lun tried to ask the reason, but Lady Fleurette merely fobbed him off with "duties demand it" and then refused to discuss the topic further, urging Chen Lun to finish reading the over twenty voluminous books she had written.

This was also to enable Chen Lun to put his own ideas into practice more swiftly... For on the second day of his arrival at the Meteor Tower, Chen Lun had shared some of his thoughts with Lady Fleurette.

He stated that he had just advanced to a high rank and his use of mythical power was extremely superficial. Although he considered himself adept at self-preservation, he lacked effective attack methods, especially a finishing move.

Chen Lun certainly didn’t want to have to deploy his Mythical Creature Form every time he fought an opponent of the same rank.

What high-ranking being would constantly use their trump card in a fight?

If others play a pair of threes, you respond with a royal flush... That’s absurd!

Although he was confident that his royal flush could obliterate most Sequence Four Saints, over time, this trump card might no longer be called that.

Lady Fleurette was not surprised by this; she first used questions to lead Chen Lun to think independently... This not only avoided prying into secrets but also helped him understand his own strengths and weaknesses, allowing for targeted development.

Chen Lun still remembered the first question Lady Fleurette asked:

"What do you think is the biggest difference between you and other high-ranking beings? Is this an advantage for you? If so, you should develop an extension around this core."

Although the question was straightforward and simple, it instantly hit Chen Lun’s blind spot... He had always thought that his myriad skills could adapt to various situations, but in actual combat, his mainstays were still swordsmanship and magic, which were already becoming slightly inadequate.

In the battle with Houston, what finally tipped the scales was his own Mythical Creature Form... If possible, he really didn’t want to reveal even a hint of his trump card in front of so many high-ranking beings.

When facing Lady Fleurette’s inquiry, Chen Lun pondered for a long time.

In the end, he locked onto several keywords—

"Animal Mimicry," "Chosen One," and "Magic Flying Card."

These were his unique qualities and standout attributes.

"Animal Mimicry" gave him not just one, but multiple Mythical Creature characteristics, especially two terrifying features of Angelic Deities: "Crystallization" and "Strings of Sorrow."

"Chosen One" was his personal trait, giving him a mystical weight far exceeding those at his level.

As for "Magic Flying Card," this was a skill he developed from the "Supernatural Asymmetry Law," understanding the principles of "asymmetry, imperfection, and spiraling ascent," then drawing knowledge from adjacent magical paths and by association, transforming the magic "Card Throwing Knife" into an advanced skill.

Later, he even developed the prototype of the ultimate card, "Annihilation," based on the "big and small joker cards." However, during the battle with Houston, this half-finished "Annihilation Card" failed to trap the opponent in the black polyhedron, which Chen Lun found quite regrettable.

But this also proved that the "Magic Flying Card" approach was feasible. Perhaps as long as he continued to delve deeper, he could eventually create a powerful ability unique to him.

’Finally finished...’

Chen Lun closed a thick tome, exhaling deeply.

The panel popped up a prompt in a timely manner—

[Skill "Fundamentals of Magic LV4 (Passive)" gained an enhancement!]

[Fundamentals of Magic LVMAX (Passive)!]

Looking at the books piled up on the table like a low wall, he couldn’t help but reflect internally that if it were his former self, who knows how long it would have taken to max out his skill.

But now, with the Mythical Creature characteristic "Enlightening Skull" and the maxed passive skill "Multitasking," he spent three days and nights reading through and thoroughly understanding the books, instantly maxing out his skill.

Of course, much of the credit went to Lady Fleurette. These books were like a library’s collection of extensive knowledge "mixed and chewed" by her and spewed onto paper. Whether in terms of comprehensiveness, completeness, or readability, they were considered treasures in the field of magic!

If it were anyone else, who would have such an opportunity to stay in the Meteor Tower to study, and be able to ask the "teacher" questions whenever something was unclear.

This shows the role of affection...

Chen Lun thought to himself that the fifty thousand gold pounds he had spent were not wasted, nor was it in vain that he had rescued the old bootlicker from the painted world... Speaking of Carmen, her help was significant over the past three days, as such basic knowledge didn’t necessitate Miss Fleurette’s personal answer; the task of teaching him was mostly undertaken by Carmen.

Seeing that Chen Lun had finished reading the books, Miss Fleurette set aside the work at hand with a light laugh and approached leisurely.

"Efficiency is not bad, nearly 600 times faster than Carmen initially, which shows you do have a talent for learning magical knowledge," she said, exhaling a cloud of smoke from the cigarette in her mouth.

The old mage sitting beside felt his body stiffen involuntarily, then slowly turned around, his face showing indignation and a hint of grievance.

"Teacher... back then I was just a Sequence Nine ’Scholar’; it was quite commendable that I could understand your writings in six years. At that time, you even praised my intelligence!"

"That was just to motivate you to study, yet you still remember it... Alright, no more interruptions, hurry up and finish the book ’Latest Discussion on Crystallization Statues’! The inscription circuits under the volcano crater are aging, and they’re waiting for you to help refurbish them!"

Fleurette’s pale fingers pinched the cigarette as she glanced over at her student and spoke.

"Yes, teacher..."

Carmen started to speak, then stopped, ultimately bowing his head dejectedly and returning to his reading.

Chen Lun felt a surge of sympathy and shook his head secretly.

Fleurette then turned to him, squinting her eyes, and said:

"Jack, I should have mentioned to you that I follow the ’Idol School,’ aiming for the power of great pioneers, innovating my own magic by studying and emulating their knowledge... and my ’Idol’ has always been none other than Mr. Jing Yao Angela, the True God at the end of magic," she explained, flicking ash from her cigarette.

As she spoke, she stretched out her left index finger, swiftly drawing it through the air, breaking through the illusion. frёewebηovel.cѳm

A highly complex inscription circuit quietly took shape, forming a dish-sized circle of profound patterns and flickering with a faint bluish-green glow.

The cigarette ash passed through this emerging array, and the nearly extinguished ember suddenly ignited with terrifying high temperatures, causing the flames to burst explosively.

Bang!

Chen Lun felt the scorching heat on his face, his eyes narrowing.

After the flames vanished in an instant, Miss Fleurette explained:

"This is a bit of what I learned from Mr. Jing Yao Angela when I followed him, which I’ve integrated and studied over thousands of years to perfect to an almost unimprovable degree. Although it’s far inferior to his power, it’s also enough to satisfy and make me proud... I call it ’Fleurette’s Magic Seal,’ capable of amplifying and concentrating energy. I haven’t measured the exact threshold, but it is at least tenfold. The inscription circuits on the messengers’ statues were designed based on this."

She drew the last of her cigarette, snuffing it out in the ashtray on the table.

Her expression slightly altered, as if reminiscing about something, her gaze becoming reverent. Miss Fleurette fell silent for a moment before she finally spoke softly:

"Jack, let me tell you a secret; in the realm of the gods, no one can match Mr. Jing Yao Angela in terms of destructive power..."

"Destructive power?"

Chen Lun asked, frowning.

Miss Fleurette nodded slightly, stretching out an index finger.

"At the beginning of the Spirit World, there was only one layer, vast and primitive. It was Mr. Jing Yao Angela’s burst of energy from his fingertip that shattered it, creating the layered spaces... What is now known in the Mystic Realm as the shallow, deep, and Dark World layers of the Spirit World are actually just overlapping fragments of the shattered original state."

"?!"

Chen Lun’s eyes widened gradually.

The current Spirit World, shattered by the God of Magic?!

What terrifying power that must have been...

"Do you now understand the value of this magic seal?"

Miss Fleurette said, almost smiling.

"It is just an insignificant drop from the vast ocean of Mr. Jing Yao Angela’s knowledge, which I have taken and utilized... Now I am teaching it to you, hoping it will help you perfect your own power system."

["Gatekeeper" Fleurette is teaching you a skill!]

[Skill detected "Fundamentals of Magic LVMAX (Passive)", conditions met for learning!]

[Do you wish to learn the skill "Fleurette’s Magic Seal"?]
