Bang!
A heavy thud exploded against the chest armor of the Flame Archangel.
The Flame Archangel involuntarily stumbled backward. After retreating about three meters, it flapped its wings, regaining its balance.
Nolan looked at the Flame Archangel's chest. Aside from a slight dent in its armor, the Flame Archangel seemed unharmed.
"As expected of a tank. Compared to other aspects, its defensive advantage is quite striking."
Nolan exclaimed with a smile.
Angels, Demons, and Undead—these three types of summoned creatures have a slight advantage over summoned monsters of the same rank.
Angels possess excellent physical resistance.
Demons are stronger in magical resistance.
Undead? They have superior numbers?
Additionally, the higher the level of these three summoned creatures, the more special abilities they will possess.
"Now, let me see what's inside your armor." Nolan swung his iron sword, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He moved his feet.
Nolan's figure had already rushed in front of the Flame Archangel.
Swoosh!
The Flame Archangel quickly raised its flaming sword and slashed.
But Nolan was faster.
"Quick Slash!"
A cold gleam flashed in the air, followed by a series of urgent, piercing explosions from the bright silver armor on the Flame Archangel's chest.
Dazzling sparks flew across the armor's surface!
Crack!
The seemingly sturdy armor was forcefully cut open by the iron sword, and the Flame Archangel plummeted towards the ground.
Fortunately!
Nolan reacted swiftly, grabbing the Flame Archangel's wing and yanking it upwards, pulling the Flame Archangel, who was about to crash, back into the air.
"Mute" only eliminates sound.
With that force, if the Flame Archangel had hit the ground, it probably would have made a hole.
"Whew~"
Nolan exhaled, "I almost got discovered."
"So there's nothing inside after all."
Nolan looked at the Flame Archangel's chest, which he had cut open.
Inside, there was nothing but a faint white glow.
Bang—
The Flame Archangel's body trembled, and its entire form began to dissipate into points of light.
"The durability is quite good."
"It seems that summoned monsters do not grant experience points."
Nolan glanced at the experience bar on his attribute panel, feeling a bit regretful.
"This Flame Archangel, compared to a warrior of the same level, has a relatively single attack style and no advantage in speed."
"But its excellent physical resistance and ability to fly are enough to hold back someone of the same level for a while."
"If the numbers increase..."
Nolan turned around and looked at the white paper on the table, a smile appearing on his face.
"Even a powerful Warrior Captain would only end up being worn down and killed."
In the anime, the Slane Theocracy dispatched the Sunlight Scripture, one of the Six Scriptures, to assassinate Warrior Captain Gazef. If it weren't for the sudden help of the Sorcerer King.
They wouldn't even need the Sunlight Scripture's leader, Nigun, to act; the Flame Archangels summoned by his subordinates alone could have exhausted the Warrior Captain to death.
And the price paid by the Sunlight Scripture was merely the consumption of some magical power.
Nolan returned to the wooden table, picking up the Tier 2 paper. "I forgot to ask earlier if Tier 2 magic scrolls absolutely require parchment."
"Let's try."
"Scroll Creation!"
Nolan placed his hands above the paper on the table and silently chanted in his mind.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The paper on the table moved without wind, dozens of sheets quickly converging towards the center.
In just a single breath.
A pure white magic scroll appeared in Nolan's palm.
"Hm? It succeeded."
Nolan stared at the magic scroll, which had been created so easily, and was visibly stunned.
Perhaps it was because he had always encountered various problems, big and small, whether manufacturing alchemical potions or healing potions.
Now that it was suddenly created so easily, Nolan felt a bit unaccustomed.
"It's pure white, unlike the magic scrolls from the Mage's Guild, which are mixed with parchment."
Nolan held the pure white magic scroll in one hand, observing it, while looking at the remaining Tier 2 paper on the table. "The quantity is also a bit off."
Originally, there were 1400 sheets; now only 1380 remain.
This means that creating this magic scroll consumed 20 sheets of Tier 2 paper.
If he remembered correctly, the magic scrolls made by the Mage's Guild used 1 sheet of parchment plus 10 sheets of Tier 2 paper.
"So, the purpose of the Mage's Guild mixing parchment into their Tier 2 scrolls isn't just to maintain magical stability, but also to reduce paper consumption?"
Nolan raised an eyebrow.
Indeed, compared to paper infused with magic, parchment is much cheaper.
"Next, it's time to infuse the magic."
Nolan's gaze became serious. He reached out, unfurled the white magic scroll, and lightly tapped his finger on the center of the scroll.
According to Master Bero's method, at this point, one needs to infuse the desired magic into the scroll, which requires exceptional control over magical power.
Of course!
It also requires a deep understanding of the "magic" being infused.
Casters in this other world gradually master magic through their own understanding, learning, and research.
But he only needs to spend skill points.
This cheating-like method inevitably resulted in him having little understanding of the magic he mastered.
Nolan was well aware of this, but he noticed that Master Bero's method during the process of infusing magic into the scroll was very similar to the "Mana Infusion" passive ability of his [Magic Swordsman] class.
Back in the Tob Forest, when refining alchemical solutions, he relied on this ability to create qualified alchemical potions.
He hadn't expected that it might also be useful in scroll creation.
"Whether it succeeds or not depends on this passive effect." Nolan pressed his finger, which was on the scroll, down firmly. "Mana Infusion!"
Bang—
The white scroll vibrated violently, its entire surface quickly glowing blue, and the flow of magic created an invisible suction force.
This violent vibration startled Nolan.
He had witnessed magic scrolls exploding at the Mage's Guild, a memory that was still vivid.
Seeing that the magic scroll in his hand only vibrated once before calming down, with no signs of explosion, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Nolan cleared his mind and began to infuse the second-tier "Summon Angel" magic into the scroll.
One second.
Two seconds.
Five seconds.
...
Ten seconds.
If Master Bero's scroll creation was filled with intricate precision and natural fluidity,
then at this moment, Nolan's scroll creation felt crude!
Whoosh!
The scroll vibrated again, the blue glow on its surface rapidly contracted, and the entire magic scroll automatically rolled up, appearing on the table.
"It worked?"
Nolan blinked, looking at the magic scroll emitting a faint white glow. He immediately cast a spell:
"Item Appraisal!"
...
Item: Magic Tool · Craft · Magic Scroll
Tier: Two
Description: Contains the magic "Summon Angel"
...
"It really worked!"
Nolan exclaimed in surprise, involuntarily reaching out and vigorously rubbing the head of the nearby Impish Dog.
Immediately after.
Nolan's eyes flickered slightly: "I originally thought there was no chance, but now I might be able to scheme for that special magic item."
Others might not know.
But Nolan knew that in "E-Rantel," there existed a magic item of [Superior · Level 40], just shy of reaching [Maximum Level].
This magic item was the highest-grade magic item he could obtain in the early stages!
Originally.
Nolan planned to obtain the "Cursed Knight" class and then figure out a way to acquire this magic item after returning from the Baharuth Empire.
Now that he had mastered scroll creation, the success rate had greatly increased.
However, the danger remained extremely high!
