The heavy stone doors leading to the underground cavern were covered in thick, dark moss. Rudra stood in front of them, tapping the dark metal of his staff against his boots. High Witch Elara stood a few steps behind him. She was wringing her hands, her silver eyes darting around the courtyard.

"Are you absolutely sure about this?" Elara asked. Her voice shook a little.

""Kurson is the Lord of Agony. He's a Great Demon, not just some normal monster. Even Sword Saint Muller could only seal him, not kill him."

"I need to do this," Rudra said, grinning widely. He didn't look back.

"I need to prove to your seal that this guy isn't going anywhere, even if you leave the island. So if you hear a loud boom, don't panic. It's just me beating up a demon. Plus, there are a couple of things I need to test " Elara swallowed hard and nodded. She took a few steps back toward the other witches. Rudra rolled his shoulders. Before he kicked the doors open, he needed to get his skills to be used in order.

His old active attacks were gone, and he had to create new staff techniques using his [Staff Technique Creation] skill. He had already created [Typhoon] and [Avalanche]. Now he needed a heavy finisher, and he needed a good spell to load into his Zen Race [Spell Store] skill. He sat down on a clean surface before the door and opened his interface. He pulled up his [Knowledge Creation] skill.

[Knowledge Creation] [By combining your Intelligence, Insight, and Wisdom, you can invent entirely new Knowledge and document them. - You can create new Techniques, Magic Formulas, Crafting Blueprints, and Alchemy/Cooking Recipes from scratch. - The rating and effectiveness depend on your base stats, materials, and [Wisdom]. - The number of times it can be created will increase every time the level of 'Endless Learning' increases. Number of knowledges that can be created: 4/5. Resource Consumption: 500 to 5, 000 [Enlightenment].] After he got the Deep Sage class, he had finally read Mumud's spellbook. That single action unlocked the genius mage's entire magic tree for him. He had full access to the branching paths of fire, water, wind, ice, lightning, earth, wood, darkness, and light But he had never been able to unlock the full potential of these magic and he had only been using them by pumping mana inefficiently to manipulate his environment without any magic spell.

But if Rudra plans to see if his hypothesis can be achieved, He would need to start properly use his magic as well.

"Knowledge Creation," Rudra muttered following which a prompt popped up. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. [What type of knowledge do you want to create?]"Magic" [Have you decided?]"Yes" [Please define the characteristics of the Magic.] [Please define the Foundation.] Rudra thought about his [Spell Store] skill. He needed something that hit incredibly hard and adapted to whatever he was fighting.

"Reference Mumud's Magic tree," Rudra said.

"Use his elemental paths as the base blueprint." [Please define the Targeting.]"It can be shot from long distance," Rudra answered.

"But it needs to hold its form perfectly so I can carry it in my weapon and unleash it on contact using the Spell Store skill." [Please define the Elements.]"Make it scalable," he instructed.

"It should be able to fuse any type of magic element that I actually know. To bring out its full potential, I have to acquire and master multiple magic elements over time. Mix them all together." [Please define the Resource Consumed.]"Make the cost heavy," Rudra nodded.

"High Mana cost, and let it consume any other resources that can actively increase the effectiveness of the elements used." [Please define the Special Effects.]"Due to the combination of multiple elements, the result should cause a number of status abnormalities to the target upon hit," Rudra finished.

"And make the magic ignore 30% of their magic defense, plus another 10% for every extra element added." [Have you decided? When you complete the Magic, the number of available creations from the creation skill will decrease by one.] He hit confirm. [A new Magic Spell has been created!] [Please name the spell.]"Elemental Convergence," Rudra said. [Elemental Convergence (Lv. 1)] [Rating: Legendary] [A fluid magic formula built upon the foundation of Mumud's magic tree. It allows the user to forcefully combine any known magical elements into a single attack that can be fired from a distance. - Deals 500% base magic damage to the target. - With each addition of another magic element, the damage will increase by 300%. - Ignores 30% of the target's magic resistance. This magic resistance penetration increases by an additional 10% for every extra element fused. - When 2 or more elements are combined, a status condition will be inflicted on the target. The number of status conditions increases with the number of fused elements. - The Mana resource consumed can be substituted with other available resources which can improve the element's efficiency. - Resource Consumption: 5, 000 Mana + 1, 000 Mana (for every additional element). - Skill Cooldown: 10 Minutes.]"Nice," Rudra grinned.

"Now for the big hit." He closed the magic skill window and opened his Staff Saint class window. He selected [Staff Technique Creation]. [Staff Technique Creation] [You don't need to learn normal skills anymore. - The number of times it can be created will increase every time the level of 'Complete Staff Mastery' increases. - The term Staff techniques refers to skills that can be used when wearing Staff type weapons. - There are several factors that determine the power of the created Staff technique. - Passive skills can't be created. - Number of staff techniques that can be created: 4/6]"Staff Technique Creation," Rudra muttered following which a prompt popped up.
