Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 688: 220. Artificial Lightning Disaster

On the day after acquiring the “Thundercloud Technique,” Noland Lee left the Core Circle to head to Snow Mountain Archipelago 1, ready to test the power of the “Thundercloud Technique.”

It had been nearly ten days since he began studying the Elemental Energy Reactor, and he hadn’t left the Core Circle since.

Hadley Grant, the deep-sea wizard who went out to sea to search for the Dragon clan treasures, was estimated to be back in his shop.

Noland Lee had previously agreed with Hadley to take time off to accompany him on a sea expedition to witness the spectacle of the Cave of Spreading Moss.

According to Hadley, there were many Dragon Race trinkets in that place. That is why Noland Lee marked the Cave of Spreading Moss as a treasure trove for his energy reserve.

Noland Lee found Hadley’s shop in the Suman City Market District. As expected, the tall and burly wizard was waiting idly for customers to arrive.

Noland Lee didn’t come to buy anything today.

Over the past half a month, he had spent a lot of money on purchasing alchemy materials, leaving only twenty thousand gold coins in his pocket.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Until he managed to clear the bounty tasks accumulated in Jenela’s place, he temporarily did not have the money to pay for Hadley to take him out to sea.

Noland Lee talked to Hadley about delaying the sea trip by a few days as he was very busy lately.

Hadley agreed.

He gladly stated that since Noland Lee had bought a lot from his shop, he didn’t have to worry too much about the rent, nor did he have to go out on long trips like before.

The two agreed that within ten days to half a month at the latest, Noland Lee would bring the money for the sea trip and accompany Hadley to the Cave of Spreading Moss.

After making arrangements for obtaining energy reserves, Noland Lee used the Magic Ocean Current to reach the Snow Mountain Island 1 that he had bought.

The mountain, shaped like a cone, rose from the sea surface, piercing the sky. The snowy peak was covered by a white cloud layer like a canopy all year round.

Noland Lee began to fly upward from the foot of the mountain.

As he passed halfway up the mountain, a bit of chill was added to the howling wind.

As the wind grew stronger, the air became colder, causing Noland Lee to shiver slightly.

Noland Lee stopped temporarily and flew into the cave on the mountain.

This island was bought from Sienna, the twenty-fifth heir of the Pangula family. Her housekeeper, Kaiden, was actually a famous Calm Knight from years ago.

Before Sienna got the island, it was under the name of Dickler Fegan.

Kaiden said that after learning that Sienna was arranged by the family head to manage the islands in the Suman Archipelago, Dickler Fegan played a trick. He mined all the islands that were about to be handed over to Sienna and took away the minerals on them.

The Snow Mountain Island 1 that Noland Lee bought was in this situation.

On its deep grey mountain body, there were many cave entrances left by Dickler Fegan when he sent people to mine the ore.

Now, these cave entrances had become Noland Lee’s temporary landing spots.

He turned back into human form inside the cave and took a “Cold Resistance Potion” from his magic pouch.

The potion took effect, and warmth filled his body, dispelling the cold instantly.

Noland Lee cast “Death Flight” again and ascended, aiming directly at the peak shrouded in snow and fog.

The surrounding coldness fought fiercely against the warmth brought by the potion, both sides battling and struggling with each other with Noland Lee’s body as the battlefield.

Every time a gust of cold wind blew, Noland Lee would shiver, and then calmed down by the warm currents rising within his body.

When the altitude exceeded 4,000 meters, the cold current intensified, and many ice particles floated in the air. They scraped over Noland Lee’s body like countless small knife blades.

With his “Magic Shield,” Noland Lee didn’t have to worry about being harmed.

In fact, he intentionally ran to such a high and cold place to experience the harsh side of nature.

On the one hand, the snowy peak enveloped in fog and clouds was the perfect place to test the “Thundercloud Technique.”

On the other hand, Noland Lee also wanted to use the “Magic Shield” to test the magical power of various natural scenes.

Just like the extreme cold and cold wind he was experiencing right now. The moment he felt the cold, the system notified him that he had acquired a negative effect called “Extreme Cold.”

This negative effect would automatically stack layers over time. The higher the altitude, the more layers were added each time.

It not only made Noland Lee’s limbs feel cold and numb, but it also inflicted frost damage every second.

For each layer added, he took +1 frost damage per second.

When Noland Lee was close to the peak of Snow Mountain 1 and about to enter the fog, “Extreme Cold” had already stacked 99 layers, causing him to take 99 frost damage per second.

As he entered the fog and stood on the snowy peak, “Extreme Cold” suddenly increased by 50 layers, reaching a total of 149 layers. Moreover, staying in this location for every 1.5 minutes would automatically add another 50 layers.

Noland Lee looked around at the white scenery, witnessing an apocalyptic sight of ice and snow.

After a brief calculation, he came to a conclusion.

With a 100-level “Magic Shield” and 40 points in “Spirit,” he could last up to 240 minutes in such an extreme cold environment.

Once the 240th minute arrived, his “Magic Shield” would be pierced by frost damage, and he would be immediately exposed to the freezing wind.

If he didn’t drink the “Cold Resistance Potion” to reduce the stacking speed of “Extreme Cold,” the time he could hold on would be further shortened.
