Chapter 38: The Tower of Sharpening (Part II)
Now Sivi finally understood what it meant to be fully prepared in the mission notes.
It's not about trying to improve your strength before you get into a dungeon, or having things like potions and props in place, although that's important, but about water and food.
Nearly ten hours of sleepless action, both physically and mentally are almost at the limit.
Hunger can still be tolerated a little, but exercise causes heavy sweating, and without drinking water, Sivi has begun to develop moderate symptoms of dehydration.
It's not the time to relax and go for water, although there are liquid magic potions and emergency medicines...... However, drinking precious potions because you are thirsty is no longer a luxury, but a complete waste.
What's more, whether or not those potions quench your thirst after drinking them is still the same thing.
Sivi endured the nausea of dehydration and ran hard, but even in the not bright environment, a very noticeable shadow appeared on the ground beneath his feet, and began to grow in size.
A giant spider is falling from the sky!
As a weak mage apprentice, even if Sivi can run out of this shadow as the opponent's landing point, he will then become in the state of facing the Titan tarantula that is close at hand.
This is really a bad situation for Sivi, who has no melee ability, and here is less than a kilometer away from the place where the huge stone pillar is, and the stone pillar that has been in the darkness has also lifted the veil of darkness at the back, revealing its true face.
Well, even though it is still an ordinary stone pillar......
Since you can't run away, you can only resist first!
Sivi stopped suddenly, holding the Night Celestial Sphere in his hand, and pointed at the giant beast in the air with a solemn face.
The weight of the titan tarantulas themselves is extremely amazing, but they can jump tens of meters and hundreds of meters, in addition to the innate strength of arthropods, there is another reason.
The anti-gravity trait, which is a spell-like ability that belongs to the earth elemental system, allows the Titan tarantula to have such a huge body and still be able to perform various agile activities.
However, this also gave Xiwei a certain degree of convenience.
If the opponent is on the ground, because the shaggy barbed hair on the spider's seemingly inconspicuous eight legs has a strong landing force, even if Xiwei blows with all his strength, it will only make the opponent feel a little pain, and even the shield composed of elemental guardians cannot break through.
But it's different in the air, although there is still no way to break the opponent's defense, but without any borrowing point, to fly a Titan tarantula that is not very large because of the anti-gravity characteristics, he still has a certain confidence!
What's more, the Night Orb itself also has an attack attribute bonus of [Magic Attack: 70~130].
After Sivi's experiments in the tunnel before he met the Titan Tarantula, he found that the so-called magic attack attribute did not directly increase the power of magic with fixed power.
In the case of elemental magic or shadow magic formed by dominating shadows, because the iron rule of elemental power takes precedence over mana (which is also the reason why pure magic type arcane in this world is not popular), the weighting of this magical attack is all counted as elemental damage. For example, the most elemental magic used by Sivi is currently exploding the flame arrow, and the temperature of the magic flame is more than twice as high as that released by his bare hands, and the burning time has also been extended a lot.
The problem is that until the opponent's elemental guardian is broken, the so-called elemental damage is just a joke......
Replaced with pure magic magic missiles and mage hands, the magic attack becomes an increase in the degree of output. But even so, it is difficult for pure magic to hurt the Titan tarantula, which is armored by the elements. …,
But now it's different, what Xiwei wants is not to cause damage, but only the amount of force that can knock the opponent away.
It's like playing baseball, what the hitter has to do is not break the ball, but to knock it out of the way!
Facing the terrifying pressure of the Titan tarantula, Sivi gritted his teeth and tried his best to calm his beating heart.
The magic missile is good, but it explodes when it hits the opponent. This explosion can deal some spread damage in combat, and while a magic missile with pure magic power isn't very powerful, it's better than nothing.
But in the current situation, this kind of explosion will only waste mana in vain, and before learning the magic blunt hit, it is the best choice to use the mage's hand to hit the force and give it a blow to the head, and to whip it away fiercely.
However, unlike the magic missile, although Xiwei's mage hand can also be extended, the farther away it is, the more magic power it consumes, and when the same amount of magic power is consumed, the amount of power cannot be exerted.
Therefore, if you want to hit the opponent as much as possible, you can only attack after it enters the 'range', so the timing of the shot is the key!
It's like in ancient warfare, the archer faced the cavalry rushing from the opposite side, if you shoot too early, people won't even hurt a hair, but if you shoot too late, the other party will already rush in front of you......
This is also the situation that Xiwei is facing, not to mention that compared to the galloping cavalry, the Titan tarantula that is like a mountain roaring from the sky obviously gives people more psychological pressure.
Just when Xi Wei could even see the chelicerae that were constantly waving in the opponent's mouthparts, he finally made a move!
The magic power of his whole body flowed into the Dark Night Celestial Sphere like a flood, and suddenly a circle of vague-looking runes appeared around the gem in the front of the short staff.
However, Sivi didn't have time to see what it was, after the amplification of the Dark Night Celestial Sphere, he almost exhausted the magic power of his whole body, and the invisible magic hand hit the bulging abdomen of the Titan tarantula!
The spider's scream was instantaneous, but it was more like anger than pain!
The little bug that it didn't pay attention to at all was rewarded (although it still didn't break the defense), which made it completely annoyed that it had dominated the area for a long time.
However, before it could figure out what was happening, the mage hand on its abdomen suddenly exerted force, throwing its huge body directly backwards!
Judging from the landing point of the parabola, I am afraid that it is two or three kilometers away from the current Xiweizu!
However, Xiwei did not stop the movement in his hand, and at the same time as the Titan tarantula flew out, he directly poured a bottle of magic potion, and then added a magic missile with all his strength!
Then he didn't look at the results, and directly turned around and ran towards the stone pillar.
The enraged Titan tarantula spat out balls of corrosive venom in vain, but fell behind Sivi because of his lack of range. At the end of the day, its six large eyes could only watch as Sivi disappeared into the massive stone pillar......
