Without wasting more time, Ron began to explore the runes of the guardian system.

He started with the derivative rune that he understood the most, which represented ''intensification''. This rune was the most used one in Ron's magic, whether it was a wind blade, wind slashes, or fire blast.

"The derivative runes from the guardian system should also be divided into core and outer layer. The core corresponds to the basic rune, which shouldn't be changed, and any modification should be added to the outer structure."

Ron groaned.

Mastering third-level magic, Ron gained experience in dealing with the runes. He was no longer that novice who relied on sheer luck, and quickly found the right direction to follow. First, he analyzed the core and outer area of the guardian runes.

This task didn't take Ron that much time. After all, he had a reference, and his mental power, speed of thinking, and magical knowledge were far superior than they were before.

After about half a day, he managed to take apart the guardian basic rune.

Being able to extract the core region, Ron's next step was to change the structure of the outer area as an extension to the core, to create derivative runes representing different meanings.

Spiritual power played the role of the energy, as the core area represented the energy conversion, which could be modeled as a generator. The outer area of

the basic runes was a set of light bulbs and wires, while that part of the derivative rune was far complicated, a tricky circuit with resistors and demodulators. A complete mess!

Bang!

The newly condensed runes took shape in the air, and then collapsed.

The eternal rune was different from the elemental one. Even while holding the elf wand, it was condensed and formed in the air, not inside the crystal-like pearl.

"Well, at least, it looks that I am on the right track."

Ron suppressed the weak impact brought by the collapsed rune, and wasn't disheartened by his failure. Instead, he nodded thoughtfully and continued his attempts.

The second time...

The third time...

Even with his previous knowledge, experiences, and how sure he was about being on the correct route, exploring the "intensification" derivative rune of the guardian system wasn't that easy, after all, it was more than ten times complex than an elemental one.

It was already afternoon, and Ron already failed nearly a thousand times.

There was a speed constraint, despite the level that Ron reached. He couldn't use his usual excessive speed while exploring eternal runes as he did with the elemental ones, the tens of thousands of times an hour rhythm was impossible.

But these nearly 1,000 attempts, despite being a complete failure, there weren't done in vain. Ron started gradually to understand the difference between eternal and elemental runes.

Could the "intensification" shell of element-type derivative runes be placed outside the core of eternal runes? The answer was a definite "NO."

The reason was obvious. Could low-voltage wires support ultra-high voltage currents? No, it would burn out in an instant.
That was one of the causes of the crash.

What Ron had to do was to strengthen these low-level wires into a more robust "wires" with stronger capacity, and higher energy transmission.

This was the same as half a year ago, when he first explored the derivative runes, he kept changing the lines randomly. But it would be unfair to put it this way, back in time he was just like a primary school student randomly changing numbers one by one to test his friend's account password, and this time it was more like a computer hacker trying to infiltrate a data center.
