Chapter 6: Magical Techniques
This kid did it on purpose, this kid must have done it on purpose.
Sloan was frustrated, and at first he thought that Ainan was a nuisance who would get in the way of their fight against the gnolls, but they took out two gnolls with a stick and bought time for the guards to assemble. Later, he thought that no mage would use such a trick as throwing a stick to fight, so Ainan immediately put a spell, which was not intended to be against him.
Looking at the puck the size of a baby's fist, Sloanan sneered at Ainan, "Oh, apprentice, is that really a spell of yours?" I could slap such a small thing open with a single slap. ”
Sloan, who has the strength of a low-level warrior, asked himself some eyesight, and the level of Xiaoice ball also made the jackal suffer a little skin injury, and the frostbite of the skin of the person was useless except to stimulate the ferocity of the jackal. Ainan will only waste his pitiful mana by putting this magic, this little rookie is probably carried away by his own record just now, do you really think you can be so lucky every time?
"Forget it, you're a schoolboy, and I shouldn't expect anything from you. Okay, you let me stay in the back obediently. ”
Wielding his sword, Sloan battled the two gnolls who had landed with the help of his two companions, expecting nothing from the spells cast by Ainam.
It's just a spell cast by an apprentice, what effect can it be, you think it's a master magician.
The puck crossed a gap of more than 30 meters, and then smashed into the ...... Uh, on the ground!
"Hahaha...... Sloane laughed loudly, "I can't even control such a simple spell, I really deserve to be called a rookie magic apprentice." Boy, who just said he wasn't a hindrance? ”
Magic apprentices should be like magic apprentices, rookies have to have the consciousness of rookies, what can you do as a primary school apprentice, don't you hide behind us obediently?
Before he could finish speaking, Sloanan suddenly noticed a surprising scene on the other side.
The dozen or so gnolls in the second echelon saw that they were about to jump, but all of them fell to the ground, because the forward momentum was too fierce, the fallen gnolls could not stop the momentum, and rolled down the cliff one after another, and all fell into the Sadol River hundreds of meters below.
Falling from such a high place, it doesn't make a difference whether it's water or stone below, and the powerful impact is enough to kill a jackal. Even if a few serious injuries do not die, the turbulent waters of the Sadol River will deliver the final blow.
What's going on?
Sloanan's eyes were about to pop out, and it was okay for a jackal to fall, but the problem was that there were more than a dozen gnolls who fell, and the blind could see that there was a problem.
But what's the problem?
The problem is at the feet of the gnolls.
At the same place where the gnolls rolled down the cliff, I don't know when the ground was covered with a thin layer of ice, and the gnolls running at full speed would slip on the ice. And because the friction of the ice was too small, the jackal who threw himself on the ground couldn't stop his body from sliding forward, so he had to watch himself fall.
Could it be the puck just now?
Sloanan was dumbfounded, reason telling him that this was true, and that he couldn't accept it emotionally.
Just with a trick-like Xiaoice ball, that junior apprentice solved a dozen or so jackals, which is also incredible. Judging from the timing of the ice formation, the magic apprentice had clearly calculated that the gnoll man had reached the fastest speed, and his eyes fell on the other side of the Sadol River and ignored the moment under his feet.
With such terrible computing powers, or an apprentice in magic?
Intermediate mages may not be able to do it.
Sloanan no longer looked at Ainan with a slight contempt, because what had just happened told him that the magic apprentice next to him was not as simple as it seemed, and based on his performance just now, this kid would definitely become a big man in the future.
"Captain, what are you doing in a daze?"
Dare to be distracted in battle, the mistakes Sloanan made were so low-level that even his men couldn't help but want to curse. If it weren't for two more soldiers joining the warband, the gnolls would have taken Sloan's life in a short moment of daze.
With his face flushed, Sloanan quickly gathered his mind and refocused his attention on dealing with the two gnolls who had landed on the shore.
Ainan didn't say anything this time, and silently retreated to the rear. His actions made Sloanan depressed to the extreme, and at this time he would rather than have Ainan sneer at himself. Because Ainan's ignorance made Sloanan feel like a mad dog, barking at Ainan incessantly, and Ainan didn't even pay attention to his interest.
Contempt makes people angry, and ignoring can make people choke until they vomit blood. Despise you means that he still looks at you, and there is still your presence in his eyes, ignoring you means that you are not even qualified to let the other party take a look.
In fact, the above is all Sloanan thinking, it is true that Ainan ignored him, but this is not that Ainan ignored him, the real reason is that Ainan is not in a good state at the moment.
Sloanan is not a mage, he can't see the level of the spell just now, and if he wants to do it to the level of Ainan, let alone a magic apprentice, there are few low-level mages who can do it. It's also thanks to Ainan who has sorted out a lot of the knowledge left by tangram puzzles these days, and found some of the things that he can use at the moment, otherwise how could he have done this with the mana of his magic apprentice.
Magical Resonance, a technique that instantly drains the caster's full mana and releases all of the caster's mana, allowing the spell to exceed its own limits and achieve a leapfrogging effect.
Techniques like this, which are different from regular spell casting, have a general term - super magic skills.
The baby's fist-sized puck that Ainan had released earlier was indeed as lethal as Sloanan had thought, and after using the magic energy resonance, this apprentice-level spell broke through its own limit, and had an effect similar to that of a mid-level spell. And because it is located on the bank of the Sadol River, the water element is active, and the spell effect has been greatly improved, so there is a scene where the double-digit gnolls are destroyed in one blow.
Of course, there was one thing that Sloanan was not mistaken, and it was all expected by Ainan.
Even if a rigid release spell has great power, it is only a spell caster, and it is not a real mage. The reason why mages can make people feel different on the battlefield is that they can often use the right tactics according to different circumstances, and achieve a 10% or even 100% kill effect with one point of mana.
Ainan, who retreated to a safe position, tried to calm the dizziness in his brain, although the magic energy resonance gave him the ability to kill beyond the level, but this ability was only one blow, and after one blow, he would have no power to protect himself when he drained all his magic power.
It took the super magic technique and the terrain to kill and injure a dozen gnolls, such a record was already incredible in Sloanan's eyes, and it was far from satisfying him for Ainan.
In the final analysis, it is a matter of strength, the magic apprentice is too weak to find a way to improve his strength as soon as possible.
