Dark Elven Race

In the earliest legends, Dark Elves were the people of the Wisdom God. They had terrifying magical talent, the entire race being very proficient with it… They were innate mages.

They could master any spell easily, and there was no such thing as difficulty for them when it came to magic.

Their power came from the magic patterns on their bodies. Every time they learnt a spell, the corresponding magic pattern would appear on their bodies, and when casting, they only needed to use these magic patterns.

This kind of formidable talent made countless races envious, yet few people wished to actually become Dark Elves… because the Dark Elves were called the cursed race, as their powerful talent made them crazily chase mana.

Mana was a poison, but also an antidote. It was like a drug that they couldn’t wean themselves from.

Without mana, Dark Elves were like fish out of water, unable to breathe and unable to handle the pain, before ultimately dying from organ failure.

Because of this, in the earliest legends, they devoted themselves to become the Wisdom God’s subordinates. It wasn’t just to look for Constance’s protection… It was mostly for Constance’s mana.

But it was later said that during the God Wars, the Dark Elves betrayed the Wisdom God for unknown reasons, and the entire race was cursed by Constance.

Constance’s curse completely erupted by the time of the Nesser Dynasty, and the Dark Elves’ addiction worsened to the point of madness. Ultimately, many Dark Elves became crazy because of that addiction.

These Dark Elves would pursue mana at any and all costs. This created the first internal issues among the elves, and also the first internal issues of the Nesser Dynasty.

Multitudes of lives faded, and countless mournful events took place. In the end, the Pure-blood Elves and the Chromatic Dragons joined hands and suppressed this Dark Elven upheaval.

Ultimately, the Dark Elven sub-race was banished to an unknown plane. No one knew where, but from that point on, no trace of Dark Elves could be seen in Noscent. After each successful cast, the magic pattern would darken visibly, and another one would light up instead.

This was the Dark Elves’ casting cooldown. Only after the cooldown was over could the magic patterns could be used again.

Only by deepening their understanding of the spells could they reduce that cooldown. And some Low Tier Spells hardly had any cooldown.

This was like how humans normally needed time to cast spells but could instant-cast them after gaining a sufficient understanding of them. They could eventually even instant-cast dozens of Low Tier Spells at once.

Dark Elves inherently didn’t need any time to cast their spells because they were blessed with magic patterns, allowing them to learn any spells. Some Low Tier Spells could even be cast continuously. If they had enough mana, they could even cast for half an hour without stopping, and by relying on Low Tier Spells, they could achieve what others could only do with High Tier Spells.

Especially since as their understanding of spells deepened, not only would their cooldown decrease, but the spells would also become more and more powerful. Once the understanding of a spell reached its limits, the magic pattern would turn into an ultimate magic pattern and the spell would become an Ultimate Spell.

The fighting power of Dark Elves wasn’t based on ranks, but rather on their magic patterns. As long as a few Dark Elves had mastered 6th Tier Spells and had turned them into ultimate magic patterns, they would be in huge trouble.

Ultimate magic patterns were the greatest assets of Dark Elves. After gaining a complete understanding of spells, Dark Elves would form an ultimate magic pattern and could use it to cast that spell. Using that magic pattern would allow the instant cast of an Ultimate Spell, which could already be rated as terrifying.

But some powerful Dark Elves who had deeply researched and comprehended a spell could pass their magic pattern on as an inherited Magic Tool!

After going through a trial set up by the Elders, that ultimate magic pattern could become an ultimate magic pattern on the body of their successor.

And after the inheritance, this ultimate magic pattern would undergo a transformation. The original spell would disappear to turn into a pure ultimate magic pattern’s spell slot.

For example, if a 6th Tier Fire God Spear ultimate magic pattern was passed as an inheritance, it would transform into an ultimate magic pattern spell slot, and the Dark Elf wouldn’t be limited to the Fire God Spear!

Rather, any 6th Tier fire spell could be used in that slot!

This would allow any 6th Tier fire spell to reach the power of an 8th Tier Spell. The characteristic of Ultimate Spells made them display the power that ordinary spells couldn’t.

The power that an Ultimate 6th Tier Spell displayed would definitely exceed most 8th Tier Spells!
