Chapter 189: Chapter 120: As Long as the Compensation is Sufficient, I Can Have Amnesia on the Spot!_2

This belongs to a series, and when stacked together, it forms a complete natural cycle. The enemy enveloped by the imprint’s force field will suffer corresponding suppression, and of course, Gu Shanhai can also obtain a corresponding power enhancement.

The Growth Imprint will reduce Gu Shanhai’s spellcasting time and increase the enemy’s spellcasting time, while also increasing Gu Shanhai’s strength attribute and suppressing the opponent’s strength.

The Vitality Imprint increases all of Gu Shanhai’s reactions and speed while reducing the enemy’s various reactions and speed. Of course, it also enhances Gu Shanhai’s agility attribute and suppresses the opponent’s agility attribute.

The Peace Imprint is quite special, it will forcibly eliminate the opponent’s thought process, causing a state of stasis. If the forced elimination fails, it causes the enemy to suffer from various negative effects such as energy disorder, magic nullification, weakness, and more. If negative effects can’t be forcibly induced, it will render Gu Shanhai invisible and assist in escape, as well as strengthen Gu Shanhai’s physique attribute and suppress the opponent’s physique attribute.

The Tranquility Imprint allows Gu Shanhai to increase his recovery abilities and reduce the opponent’s recovery abilities. This kind of recovery ability is comprehensive, whether it’s physical strength, mana, or endurance, etc., with the corresponding increase and suppression attributes being mental attributes.

The Desolation Imprint increases and decreases resistances, defenses, and immunities, with the increased and suppressed attribute being perception.

The final Withering Imprint is about energy influence, allowing Gu Shanhai’s energy-related abilities to be enhanced, such as the Fireball Technique turning into the Great Fireball Technique. The enemy would suffer from energy loss of control, where casting a spell not only fails to release but also brings about backlash. Even if the release is successful, it could result in issues such as instability, weakening, and so on.

This influence isn’t limited to just spells and divine arts; Gu Shanhai estimated that any system involving energy could be affected, such as martial arts, which might seem to rely on physical blows but actually contain elements like True Qi and Inner Strength. Once shrouded by the Withering Imprint’s force field, the opponent’s use of martial arts would experience issues like disrupted energy flow, gasping, and even if released, would result in weakening or backlash effects.

If it’s purely physical strength, then naturally it wouldn’t work. However, a system relying purely on physical power without any energy is very rare, even scarcer than finding something to counteract this Withering Imprint.

And the Withering Imprint does not have an attribute suppression; perhaps because the charm attribute is too abstract. You can’t really suppress someone’s looks and temperament, can you? Though it might be possible, it seems rather pointless.

Regrettably, Gu Shanhai had not yet cultivated the fifth-level natural imprint because it required opening the natural channel, which he still needed to research more before daring to attempt it.

Having accomplished all this in three months was already quite remarkable. He had only just touched the surface of the natural channel, which was roughly similar to connecting with the world and receiving its blessings.

He had also tried to trace the source of the natural channel and redirect it, such as connecting the land to his own mana rather than the world’s. This worked, but he didn’t have enough mana. These five imprints, unlike the previous eighteen, were suppressed in the Low Magic Era, hence requiring less mana to use.

However, Gu Shanhai found that these six imprints actually required full mana expenditure, making it impossible to condense them during the Low Magic Era with one’s own strength or external environment. If he were to forcibly attempt it, Gu Shanhai’s only outcome would be to be drained dry by the natural imprint.

During this time, he had also consulted others, like Mafas, and their answers were unanimous: open the natural channel to draw enough elemental power for support.

Faced with this, Gu Shanhai expressed his helplessness, but soon he thought of a new alternative method—the Holy Grail!

This thing, being masterless, was a disaster just waiting to happen. He was also concerned that Fate or an unborn master had not been completely eradicated. It was the perfect opportunity to eliminate what remained.

The Holy Grail contained a vast amount of energy, enough for Gu Shanhai to transform and condense the fifth-level natural imprint without having to open the natural channel.

This was also a matter of convenience; he had already planned to break the Holy Grail, to restore it to the state it was in during the High Magic Era.

"The plan’s fine, it’s just that with all this aura on me plus the future’s force field, it seems a bit wasteful on me," Gu Shanhai pondered. In his condition, if placed among players or the indigenous population, he would definitely be the core of an army. Even if he did nothing, just standing there and activating his mana aura could enhance his own side’s strength several times over, as well as weaken the enemy or even inflict direct harm.

"Now I’ve turned my own mana aureole into a strategic core. Luckily, no one knows about it, or else I’d definitely have to go to the battlefield." Gu Shanhai’s Magic Domain ability was still very well concealed; no one knew about it at all. To everyone in the world, Gu Shanhai was just a Druid, or at most, a part-time Green Knight.

"Maybe I could look for some tricks like ’cutting grass to summon horses, spreading beans to spawn soldiers, chanting spells to forge swords out of grass.’ "

"If the Fierce General hadn’t been made into a Companion Green Dragon, maybe he could have become a commander in his own right."

Gu Shanhai thought it would be somewhat wasteful not to make use of his strategic aura. However, such methods of turning plants into soldiers were already considered Divine Skills. Finding one would not be easy, and it would also require the corresponding Spirit Plants to be effective. Otherwise, using ordinary plants would not be presentable.

But if he did succeed, Gu Shanhai would indeed be someone who hid generals in his chest and concealed mighty soldiers in his belly.

And such plant transformations could also be used to craft Daoist Soldiers, but as soon as this thought came to mind, he suppressed it. The one who was previously mentioned to be crafted into a Daoist Soldier was named Fierce General, and in the end, he didn’t become a Daoist Soldier but was made into an Azure Dragon, which could be described as a collapsed journey halfway. So it’s better not to rashly set flags, otherwise, what if it turns out to be another slap in the face.

"Next... I can only start with the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th rings of Prophecy Spells and stabilize them. This is a big project. Not only do I need to stabilize them, but I also need to enhance the Spirit Plants, and during that time, there are still many types of Holy Tree Spirit Plants that haven’t been stabilized..." Gu Shanhai was somewhat overwhelmed.

He would certainly not say that he was leaving at once. According to the current developments, by the time he had finished stabilizing the Spells, enhanced the Spirit Plants, and cultivated new Spirit Plants, Atilis would probably be ready to return triumphantly. What follows would be the establishment of the Round Table Knights and a series of court politics, amusing anecdotes, and other storylines.

Of course, whether this was still the case was uncertain, yet the establishment of the Round Table Knights should not be a big problem. Previously, Gu Shanhai had heard Merlin mention that they had seized a huge round table with magical abilities from Rot Country, and so Atilis would establish some sort of honorary title afterward through a ceremony of honor.

It should be the Round Table Knights, but whether they would still be called that was uncertain because this time Druids would be involved.

"Lucky I’ve completed the final weak point of my body, or else I might not have been able to withstand it."

Now, the Body Forging Techniques that Gu Shanhai held in his hands were not limited to the Green Knight; there were also the War Knight, Blood Knight from the Sertanda family, Doomsday Knight from the Rahan family, among others. Adding the Holy Knight to the mix and combining the strengths and weaknesses, Gu Shanhai deduced a set of Body Forging Techniques that were most suitable for himself.

"Come to think of it, I’m no longer a Druid or a Forest Son. It seems I should be able to use metal equipment now, right?" Gu Shanhai suddenly realized this point, and after trying it out, indeed, there were no more restrictions. After all, he had used both of those professions as fodder to become Refining Energy Fourth Layer·Azure Dragon.

"But how is Atilis using the Lake Sword·Steel Cutter? He’s also a Druid and should have corresponding restrictions." At this moment, Gu Shanhai found a blind spot. The Lake Sword·Steel Cutter was definitely a metal-forged treasure sword, sharing the same nature as the Curse Sword·Gold in his laboratory.

However, Gu Shanhai couldn’t think of any clues and then cast the matter aside. It didn’t affect him, after all.
