Chapter 57: Dark Magic Ranking
Led by Natasha, Ian went inside the castle. He began to appreciate the brilliant engineers who had made the castle. There are canes lined up on a wall near a ticking clock. Various items, such as oil lamps, chamber pots, and cast-iron shovels, are being tended to by dark elves.
It was a bustling place with dark-skinned beauties talking and laughing about various topics. As Ian walked beside Natasha, almost every dark elf they passed would shut up and give Ian a look of admiration. Some elves cast water magic to clean the wall. Ian even saw one flying using a broom and conjuring a mini water tornado to clean up Mahogany furniture, basins, and coal scuttles.
Ian really felt that he was transported to the Victorian era due to the theme. ’Such a magical place. This world is indeed beautiful. If for the various dangers that lurk beneath the surface, I would have thought that I am in a paradise.’
He wasn’t deluded into thinking so. Mere appearances didn’t fool him. If he’s not the king of the blood realm. Would he enjoy such a treatment? Would they treat him the same? If not for the strength that he had shown them. They wouldn’t even spare glances. Ian understood the truth. It requires enjoying this world!
’That’s why I won’t stop. Thousand years of training or something. As long as there’s room for growth. I won’t stop.’ Ian reaffirmed his conviction as he nodded with the dark elves, with a gentle smile on his face.
To be honest, everyone here was a weakling. Even the top powerhouses couldn’t force him to use 5% of his strength. Maybe only the queen could do so? Honestly, Ian had no expectations now...
Among the dark races, the dark elves are within the top 20. Specifically, they’re the top 19 dark races. Most of their strength comes from the amount of magical reserves they have, along with comprehension ability.
The stronger one’s comprehension, they would be able to master higher-tier dark magics. As for dark magic, they’re not like those sinister or devious magics. It’s just those spells that utilize the dark attribute. Some control shadows defend, attack, and escape. Some conjure terrifying miasma. Some summons dark beasts, etc... Certainly, the dark elves might not be the strongest, but they’re top-tier in terms of versatility and all-aroundness.
After all, they could even use dark magic and simple magic in their daily life. In terms of the elites, there was only the Queen and the Rose Black team under the Queen’s direct command. They are the strongest line-up that the Dark Elves could offer and there are only five members.
As for how strong they are specifically, Ian have defeated them with a single strike. In his judgement, each of them are equivalent to ten Elder due to their large-scale tier 6 dark spells.
Yes, the spells are ranked from tier 10 to tier 0, with tier 0 as the most destructive and even having touched the laws. Even the Queen had only touched the threshold of tier 3 spells. For dark elves, it was everyone’s dream to master even a single tier 2, not to mention a tier 0?
"What brought you here, King Ian? Are you perhaps leaving?"
