2. Both Enchantment and Rune Magic have now attained Master Level;
3. He must develop his unique runes;
4. Gain mastery over the 'Blood and Flesh Rune' method.
'Blood and Flesh Rune...' Gazing at his right hand, once merged with the Stand-In Puppet, he murmured:
'This method's core lies in forging a flawless bond between runes and vital tissues.'
Conventional enchantment merely etches runes onto object surfaces, yet Blood and Flesh Runes weave them straight into a creature's flesh, turning the runes into an integral aspect of existence.
The risks involved in this approach are obvious.
Even a minor error might trigger wild mutations in the test subject or strip away all traces of their humanity.
When it comes to devising his personal runes, a solid lead exists:
'Starlight Rune... A rune framework that harmonizes with the stars.'
His tone brimmed with excitement: 'Merging my Astrology knowledge and 'Star Eater’s Ravings,' this could spark a groundbreaking advancement.'
Since his apprentice years, he had forged a profound link with the celestial bodies.
'Star Eater’s Ravings' serves as both a Meditation Technique and a channel to connect with entities from higher realms.
'Should I succeed in crafting a rune system attuned to the stars, it would boost Astrology's potency and offer extra boosts to Meditation Technique practice...'
As he doodled numerous rune sketches on the page, Ron abruptly spotted a vital concern:
'Must these three professions... truly evolve in isolation?'
The idea struck him like a bolt.
He pondered the diverse unique buffs within him, particularly the 'Three-in-One' feature and the merging power from the Creator’s Blessing.
'Magic Potion Making, Alchemy, Enchantment... The lines dividing them may not be unbreakable.'
On the paper, Ron outlined a fresh idea diagram, reorganizing the fundamental parts of the three abilities:
'Magic Potion Making grants insight into material essences, Alchemy supplies ways to alter and form, Enchantment infuses items with exceptional qualities...'
'By fully blending these three, I could produce revolutionary Extraordinary Items.'
In his imagination, the combined apparatus started to form:
An apparatus that mixes magic potions on its own, etched with boosting runes across its exterior, holding multiple stored recipes inside, and able to tweak settings instantly according to the user's body condition...
'Instruction, testing, invention... These three steps themselves create a full loop.'
Ron's ideas sharpened progressively.
He understood that the real essence of 'Three-in-One' perhaps wasn't mere skill piling, but building a living network of knowledge.
Right at that moment, the pair of Memory Crystals he had intentionally set at the table's side began to shine softly.
Appearing to react to Ron's mental shifts, the energy patterns on their exteriors grew more vibrant.
'Come to think of it, I acquired these two Memory Crystals from the 'Wise Collection' at the observatory several months back, yet lacked the moment for in-depth study. This seems like the perfect opportunity.'
It formed part of his outlined plans too.
Ron grasped the emerald green Memory Crystal: 'I might extract some useful test info from this.'
Employing his Historical Research Skills, he extended his Spiritual Power like filaments toward the Memory Crystal.
The instant his power touched the crystal's exterior, the environment twisted and faded.
The view slowly sharpened, unveiling a chilling sight.
This was a section of the Abyss Fourth Layer, an eerie woodland built from meat and gore.
The 'trees'' stems consisted of massive veins and sinew, draped in slick hide.
The ends of branches held not foliage but clusters of ever-spinning eyes.
The holder of this memory belonged to a squad of five explorers.
Ron sensed the owner's inner strain and dread, mingled with the explorer's innate wonder.
The squad leader was a seasoned man in his middle years called Martin.
He probed the nearby terrain using a Magic Detector, his attention sharp and alert.
'The magical energy waves here are highly erratic,' Martin whispered: 'Stay on guard, everyone, and stick together—no separating.'
The Wizard Apprentice among them, a lean youth, scowled at the eye-laden trees: 'These things... They’re observing us.'
'You're joking, right? Naturally, they're eyeing us,' the group's sole woman scoffed. As a Bloodline Knight, she added: 'The real puzzle is what they plan to do about it.'
For a start, things went without a hitch.
The group warily threaded through the Flesh and Blood Forest, steering clear of spots that looked extra perilous.
However, from the memory owner's viewpoint, Ron detected a sly alteration.
The eye trees launched no outright assaults but released an exceedingly subtle mental sway.
This sway was so faint it bordered on invisible.
Rather than seizing control of the invaders' minds, they were silently... tweaking their moods.
Early on, it sparked only minor unease and suspicion.
Team members began questioning one another's moves and displaying irritation at the leader's directives.
'I sense we're just burning time in this spot,' the female knight grumbled:
'Samples are all around us—why push to the forest's heart?'
'The richest resources often lurk in the riskiest zones,' Martin replied calmly: 'This is a lesson you know well.'
'Perhaps she's onto something,' the Wizard Apprentice chimed in: 'We've gathered plenty of samples; no point in further danger.'
