Chapter 499: Loss
Sanctuary.
The pinnacle of genius, the zenith of the mundane, the ideal of countless sorcerers. No matter the kingdom, becoming a Sanctuary Sorcerer places one in the most successful stratum.
Interestingly, according to the Sword Princess, One-Winged Sorcerers are mostly production sorcerers, Two-Winged Sorcerers are predominantly battle sorcerers, and Sanctuary Sorcerers revert to being primarily production sorcerers. This doesn’t mean that Sanctuary Sorcerers abandon combat, but rather that they shift their research focus to production, no longer as dedicated to combat as before.
There are three reasons for this. The main reason, of course, is the high efficiency of Sanctuary Sorcerers in production; spatial artifacts can only be produced by them and are typically consumables with limited durability, making every Sanctuary Sorcerer a continual gold mine. In the Stars Kingdom, Sanctuary Sorcerers are also required to pay a ‘spatial tax,’ producing a set amount of spatial artifacts each year as tax payments.
Secondly, producing spatial artifacts significantly aids in researching the Spatial Sect, offering an above-average and efficient method of cultivation compared to other practices.
The final reason is that Sanctuary Sorcerers themselves are acutely aware that to achieve quantitative and qualitative breakthroughs in combat, the best approach is not through combat research, but rather…
Mastering space.
Clang!
A glint of cold light arrived first, followed by the spear that came crashing down!
