Chapter 88: High-Level Rune Gem
If Heb had previously felt a sense of superiority as a level 3 wizard apprentice looking down on Sunan, that arrogance had completely evaporated.
He now sensed that Sunan was no ordinary level 2 wizard apprentice.
The other's strength exceeded his expectations by a wide margin.
Suppressing his greed, Heb began to focus intently on dealing with Sunan. Accompanied by strange chants, one second-circle spell after another was unleashed.
Brilliant spells filled the courtyard within moments.
Although Heb hadn't yet mastered spell silence or instant casting, he had already grasped the technique of **Segmented Casting**.
This technique was similar to using magical items; it allowed him to release prepared spells in a quick, truncated manner by merely uttering fragments of the incantation.
Essentially, it was a pared-down version of spell silence.
It was also a prerequisite skill necessary to master spell silence.
Segmented Casting demanded a stringent mental capacity, usually only attainable by level 3 wizard apprentices.
With it, the speed of casting spells would increase by two to three times compared to before.
