Chapter 396: Soria’s Chant
Translator: Lonelytree
“By the way, I can tell you something-
“I have more than 40 ability spells on me.” Matthew exclaimed, “You’re really hardworking!”
Margaret glanced at him.
“No.
Only a quarter of it was obtained through my own hard training. The rest was solidified by Legendary or quasi-legendary mages whom I spent money on.
“They are the root cause of my debt.”
At this point.
She frowned and sighed,
“This brings us back to our first lesson.” “What is the most important thing for a mage?” “Money! Money! It’s still fucking money! ”
Margaret looked very resentful.
It seemed that her financing plan had not been going smoothly recently.
Matthew obediently lowered his head and listened.
Fortunately, she quickly entered the state of explaining again.
“The third piece of content is the focus of today’s lesson. It is also the best chanting technique that I currently know. It originated from my teacher, Ms. Soria.
“After having an in-depth conversation with the dragons, Ms. Soria extracted a part of the essence of dragon language magic and integrated it into the chanting of human spells. From then on, Soria’s Chant was born.
“The advantage of this chanting method was that it was clear and rhythmic. One could control the speed and rhythm of the chanting and thus control the injection and flow of magic elements.
“That’s a little abstract. Let me show you the comparison.”
As she spoke.
Three figures appeared in front of Matthew.
They were all chanting the classic spell Fireball.
Margaret nodded lightly.
The three of them opened their mouths, and three different styles of chanting sounded in Matthew’s ears, but they were all at full volume.
According to Margaret.
The first person was a rogue Mage who had not gone through the Alliance’s training. He was using the most common incantation.
Matthew listened to it once. It was indeed not very good. It was a little like a third-rate rapper rapping.
The second person was a Mage Apprentice who had been trained in a professional course. He used the ” Mechanical Chant ” that the Alliance was currently promoting.
The speciality of this kind of chanting was that it had no speciality.
Throughout the entire recitation, there was no emotional fluctuation at all. It was a little similar to an electronic synthesized voice.
The advantage of mechanical chanting was that the specifications were uniform, and the threshold was very low. After becoming a habit, it would be much faster to learn new spells.
It was commonly used to train apprentice mages.
The third image was Margaret herself.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Matthew was shocked.
At first, it was a few sopranos singing alone, but soon they fell back.
Between the passages, there were clear lines, sometimes like flowing water, sometimes like raging waves.
It was a small fireball incantation with a total of 18 syllables and a duration of three seconds.
Matthew actually heard the feeling of opera!
” You can see the changes in the magic elements around my body when I chant.”
Margaret displayed a cross-section diagram of the flow of magic elements.
“Soria’s chanting technique can control the progress of the incantation, control the flow of mana and elements, and thus make a spell more powerful.
“But if that’s all, I wouldn’t recommend it to you.
“Its greatest advantage is that it can interrupt itself through ‘Screaming’ and perform a more advanced technique, ‘Spell Grafting.’
As she spoke.
She then showed Matthew the scene of her chanting another spell.
” Note that I was chanting the standard Tier 5 spell, ‘Otherworldly Gate’. This spell takes a long time. Even with the help of casting, I still need a full 13 seconds to complete the chant.
“But in the middle, listen-”
Margaret said as she played the illusion chant.
In order to prevent Matthew from being unable to tell, she had specially set the speed to 0.3 timer.
Matthew listened attentively and indeed heard a slightly abrupt scream from the other party’s chant.
Following that syllable.
All the magic elements in her body had retreated.
This meant that she had interrupted the spell halfway through its recitation!
Immediately after.
An even more bizarre scene appeared.
After the scream, Margaret’s chanting continued. Soon, after eight seconds, she completed the spell.
It was just that the spell ” Otherworldly Gate ” became the [Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart] that summoned a large number of arrows to physically pierce and throw at the target area.
Matthew felt a chill down his spine.
If her opponent used ” Spell Awareness ” and determined that she was using
the Otherworldly Gate, then the opponent’s response would most likely not be able to withstand the Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart!
Margaret looked at Matthew seriously.
“You should have realized how powerful this chant is by now, right?
“Not to mention the spell amplification effect of this kind of chanting.
“[Scream] allowed you to interrupt the spell at any time when the casting progress did not exceed 2/3.
“And [Spell Grafting] could secretly and under certain conditions change it into another spell.
“Once you master the Soria incantation.
“You have grasped the absolute advantage in a head-on confrontation between mages!
“Now.
“Sing with me.
“Ahhh!”
Matthew subconsciously opened his mouth.”
“Ah ah
“No, look at my mouth!”
Margaret corrected him,
” At the same time, pay attention to my chest. When you use Soria’s incantation, you must master chest breathing.
“Come, open your mouth with me-
Matthew followed her and said,
“Ah
Margaret pointed at him seriously.
“Yes and no.” “Now you’re right.” “No, no.” “Half right.”
Very quickly.
The magic classroom was left with the sound of “Ahhhh”.
