A remarkable attack.

Throughout the journey, Lindong's mind was filled with this phrase.

As a high-tier Elemental Shaper, she was always curious about elemental spells she had never seen before. However, due to this spell's overwhelming power, once released, it could result in irreparable consequences. Ethan repeatedly emphasized that it should only be used when absolutely necessary.

What exactly is its power?

Can it destroy a city in an instant, or perhaps an entire kingdom?

If it's the latter, it undoubtedly surpasses everyone's understanding. Even in the history of Elemental Shapers, there is no record of any who could instantly destroy a kingdom. At most, she could extend the reach of her ice Elemental Magic across a city when channeling magic power.

But Lindong quickly calmed herself, knowing that as long as she stayed by Ethan's side, she would see it one day.

"Teacher, is there such a thing as 'Ancient Elemental Shapers'?"

Ethan's question interrupted Lindong's thoughts. On this journey, he had witnessed many destructive Elemental Shaper spells: fireballs descending from the sky, lightning storms engulfing entire areas, and earth spikes ripping across the battlefield like ravines. The power and range of these spells were far greater than those of "modern elemental shaper spells."

No wonder the morale of Kaisaros's beastman army was low. Under the onslaught of spells akin to superweapons, frontline soldiers were evaporated before they even saw the shadows of their enemies.

Faced with these elemental shaping spells, humans felt as if they were in a hopeless struggle against nature.

"Ancient Elemental Shapers?"

Lindong pondered for a moment, "Is this another new profession you've created?"

Ethan always managed to come up with many unheard-of new professions out of the blue.

"Generally, when you add 'Ancient' as a prefix to a profession, it tends to be several tiers stronger."

This trend is quite common, with many examples to support it.

For instance, the "strongest modern" would be defeated in seconds by the "strongest in history" in a one-on-one duel. Similarly, the Empire's current technology lags far behind the ancient technology of the Golden Era.

Ethan speculated that Elemental Shapers might follow the same pattern.

Today's Empire's Elemental Shapers have gone through the destruction of the magic network, coupled with many spells being lost, fading into the sunset is only natural.

"There's never been such a term. Remember the essence of magic power I mentioned in 'Fireball and Ice Arrow Magic Power Theory'?"

Lindong quickly entered teacher mode, questioning Ethan with an impromptu quiz, "Question: What is the essence of magic power? Answer incorrectly and there will be a penalty."

"Perception, knowledge, and wisdom."

Ethan immediately gave the standard answer.

This disappointed Lindong slightly, "I didn't expect you to remember."

Unlike elemental affinity theories, the aspects concerning magic power have always been part of the academy textbooks, and every powerful Elemental Shaper has come through this path.

Ethan is a keen-minded student but lacks much excitement in life.

If it were her, upon hearing "incorrect answers will be penalized", she would deliberately give the wrong answer just to explore.

"Indeed, it's perception, knowledge, and wisdom. Following this theory, the competence of Elemental Shapers should only improve."

Seeing the lightning and thunder in the sky, Lindong roughly guessed why Ethan asked such a question.

"This is called a conjuration spell, which is the application of Elemental Shaping Magic in warfare. The damage of a single Fireball Skill is limited, but if dozens of novices cast fireballs simultaneously, the destruction they cause is considerable."

This is why Elemental Shapers have long been regarded as glass cannons in warfare.

"There's even a combined technique."

Ethan marveled.

He gained knowledge once again.

However, this might be because he had only encountered a handful of Elemental Shapers, and upon reflection, only Lindong, and by Lindong's theory, they differed from the orthodox Elemental Shapers, following a path of affinity which academy followers would see as heretical.

"Combine?"

Lindong's tone suddenly heightened. She looked around; they were walking through a lush jungle, with the occasional sound of insects chirping, "Where? How to combine?"

Lindong, behave!

Ethan's eyelid twitched a few times. He increasingly felt that Lindong was becoming more... open in front of him, even daring to do things in public that would make one blush.

This was not a good sign. It seemed that the vast knowledge treasury of the teacher had suddenly been mixed with a lot of suggestive materials.

"I meant that many people cast magic together."

"Oh, I see."

Lindong quickly lost interest, "What you're seeing now is just one application of the magic network. I once saw some descriptions of the magic network in a book at the academy."

High-tier Elemental Shapers could observe scenes beyond a range of several kilometers through the magic network. During the Old God War, they used this trait to execute long-range strikes without exposing themselves.

They were the main force in the Old God War, bearing the brunt of most of the frontline battles.

This is why people refer to the First Epoch as the "Elemental Era" or the "Academy Era." Before the magic network was damaged, Elemental Shapers were undoubtedly the most powerful extraordinary path.

"The Elemental Shaper who wrote this book was McCarthy Delin, who later became the first principal of the academy."

This was the purpose of their journey.

McCarthy Delin was the master who knew the magic network best, and he proposed the strategies of cooperative combat and long-range strikes. Apart from his role as an Elemental Shaper, he was also known as a strategist, scholar, and inventor, gathering a plethora of accolades.
