Chapter 10: The Ghost Hand
But in my heart!
"Haha, the master's self-created enhanced bloodthirsty technique is really effective, as long as the courage value is enough, he will automatically be a super-level berserker. But...... It's a pity that it will lose life! Well... I must not tell Garcia this, and I have to find a way to get her to keep the existence of this spell secret for me. ”
"Really? Then I should let Ethan learn to be angry! ”
As Kyle expected, his nonsense could not deceive Garcia, who knows a lot about anger and has a sixth sense.
"Of course!" Kyle replied in earnest.
"You!"
The female knight found herself never seen such a brazen person.
"Captain Garcia, why do you think the Ethan brothers chose to be an unbefitting elemental knight?"
"For ......, of course"
"Of course it's for you!" Before Garcia could finish speaking, Kyle immediately forced an answer for her.
"Ahem! ……”
Hearing this, the female knight instantly blushed.
It's a topic she tries to avoid when talking to Kyle, it's too awkward. And what Kyle said wasn't necessarily the truth - Ethan chose the Elemental Knight Way in order to get close to her.
"Besides, even if he's not for you. It's a good thing to have an extra kind of supernatural power, isn't it? ”
"Maybe!" Garcia didn't want to continue the awkward conversation, but warned Kyle anyway. "When Ethan's madness is over, if I find any irreparable damage on his body, don't think I'll let you go!"
"Uh-huh!"
It seems that I can't sit on the sidelines, otherwise if Ethan really runs out of life and dies, it will not be good for my reputation as a young master." ’
Garcia's anger makes Kyle realize that he's having gone too far.
Pit teammates are not a good reputation after all.
'Let's find an opportunity to help Ethan. He thought to himself.
…………
"Mage! You're ...... in the shadows."
"Don't move!"
Wang Kai was shocked by Ethan's aura and woke up. But his consciousness was still at the moment when the sound exploded.
He was about to scold Kyle when he heard a voice come from his ear.
And on his neck, the cold touch brought by the dagger made Wang Kai dare not act rashly.
Seeing that the gnolls did not resist, Drake was also relieved.
"Very good, you are very cooperative, the poison on this knife can be poisoned even by a cyclops, don't do anything stupid!" Drake's voice made Wang Kai tremble all over.
He'd seen a cyclops, a behemoth seven or eight meters tall with demonic blood. Born with a strong resistance to poison, fire, and acid.
Even they can't resist it, and their own fei jackals will inevitably die if they scratch their skin.
"You... What are you doing? ”
Although he was asking, Wang Kai had already understood. is an ordinary gnoll, and if he is usually seen, he must be stabbed to death with a dagger. Now, the thief had a knife around his neck.
What else could there be but use him to threaten Dabai.
Wang Kai could see it.
Dozens of meters away, Da Bai was fighting the 'Dragon-Blooded Ethan', desperately spitting frost to prevent his opponent from approaching. But it is still gradually falling into the downwind.
Ethan the Dragonborn was surrounded by a blood-colored air that twisted like flames.
Da Bai's frost breath didn't get close to the other party's body at all, and it was repelled by this layer of aura, which could only hinder the footsteps of the other party, but it couldn't hurt Ethan at all.
"Bang!"
Ethan's dragon claws slammed into Dabai's jaw with burning force, the sharp canine teeth were smashed by the roots, and the blood splashed from the wound was frosty, turning into crystal blood-colored ice beads after landing on the ground.
In the splendid beauty with a cold cruelty.
"Big White!"
Seeing that his best friend was injured, Wang Kai couldn't help but exclaim.
And Da Bai, who was in the fierce battle, couldn't help but look back when he heard Wang Kai's voice.
However, he was knocked away by a heavy punch from the furious Dragonborn, and once again lost several sharp fangs. The giant wolf's frost armor and hard skin and iron bones were as fragile as glass in the face of this angry and burning force.
The Spirit Field is also a transcendent trait unique to the Berserker class.
Although the Frost Breath was only a first-level magic, it was enough to kill hundreds of mortals with the huge energy supply of the giant wolf. But the energy condensation is not enough, and it can't help this kind of physical courage with terrifying defense.
And Wang Kai, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, found out.
Its own existence will be distracted, and it will not be able to get it to defeat its opponent with all its strength. immediately shouted: "Da Bai, win him, you are Da Bai, the strongest Da Bai!" ”
However, what puzzled Wang Kai was that the human beings who were holding him hostage behind him did not stop his words at all.
Holding yourself hostage, but not using yourself to threaten Dabai, this is unreasonable!
How did he know.
In order to meet Kyle's requirement of immortality and cripplement, Drake's dagger is not poisoned at all, and even the dagger itself is a blunt knife that has no blade. As long as Wang Kai resists, a super crispy skin like Drake, who is only 7 strong, can't be controlled at all.
That's why the scouts can't lie to the king and say that the knife is poisonous.
Meantime.
The giant wolf was also excited when he heard Wang Kai's words. Even if the mouth is full of blood frost, three of the four canine teeth have been removed. However, its fighting spirit has not diminished, and the damage it has suffered can only be regarded as skin trauma, which has little impact on its combat effectiveness.
Ethan was surrounded by a burning force, or aura field, and the blood-red storm made the giant wolf barely open his eyes.
Frost Breath.
Dabai chose this magic again, and successfully slowed Ethan down, and the thickness of the aura field was suppressed by the spitting frost to only a few meters.
The blood-colored storm around him was also gone.
Immediately afterward, the giant wolf did not continue to suppress the meaningless scene.
Instead, while the aura field was now weakened to its thinnest, he rushed straight towards Ethan, relying on his size and weight to knock the dragonborn to the ground. Its remaining sharp fangs pierced through the substantial defenses of courage, biting at Ethan's neck.
The poor dragonborn was grabbed by the back of the neck by the giant wolf, flailing back and forth.
It doesn't look miserable.
"Well! Wisdom and brainlessness are really not a level, the strength is stronger than the wolf and can be counterattacked, and the face of the human being is lost! ”
Looking at Ethan's tragic situation below, Kyle couldn't help but understand a little why the stronger the individual, the higher the intelligence.
Because those who don't have brains are dead.
"Why don't you make a move!" If it weren't for Kyle forcibly using 'Wind Resistance' to levitate Garcia, the long-legged knight sister would probably jump off without saying a word.
"Don't worry, such thick dragon scales can't be bitten through for a while, Ethan just looks miserable now."
That being said, Kyle's movements weren't half a minute slower.
After all, if you don't make a move now, Garcia and him will probably become enemies. Second, the color of Ethan's aura field is getting redder and redder, and it is no different from blood just now, which also shows that Ethan is burning his life and fighting.
Anyway, the effect of the spell has been confirmed, and Kyle doesn't need to let Garcia discover the anomaly and give himself a bad reputation.
"Ghost Hand!"
"Additional Magic - Double Cast - Electric Claw, Rune Wheel - Imprison."
Kyle's mind moved, and a gorgeous silver-gray spell glove on his left hand began to glow with a strange gray aura.
Immediately after, a transparent hand of energy emerged from inside the glove, looking much like Kyle's arm.
- Ghost Hand, Level 3 Psychic Magic: Condenses the soul force field of the user's hand into a soul energy hand. The Hand of Energy can travel at the speed of sound, and when the Hand of Energy touches another life, it is considered as if the Mage is touching that life form with his hand.
Although it is the magic of the mind department.
But the 'Ghost Hand' is a spell that life mages must learn.
The reason for this is that this magic can be used as an extension of the mage's arm. Most life magic requires the mage to come into contact with the target in order to be effective.
It's like the positive life magic that Kyle blessed Ethan, such as 'Cat Grace' and 'Bull Power'. In addition to the need for spellcasting materials, Kyle is also required to get up close and personal with Ethan.
And the distance ...... But it is the lifeblood of the mage.
Positive life magic is fine, it is usually blessed by teammates.
But for those spells that are negative to life, as well as powerful spells such as Electric Claw, Winter's Touch, and Energy Absorption, but have zero spell range. The Ghost Hand is the savior, so that they finally have a place to use.
At this time, Ethan was being shaken back and forth by the giant wolf. Using other spells is likely to cause accidental damage.
It's perfect to use the ghost hand to cast the 'Electric Claw'.
Then put on a six-fold imprisoned rune wheel.
Perfect!
Kyle's soul force field is 262, and the maximum extension distance of his spiritual power is 262 feet, which is 87 meters. At this distance, the speed of sound and teleportation of the Ghost Hand are not much different. At least, that's the case for both sides of the battle.
The ghost hand left a faint gray outline in the air, ignoring all defenses of the giant wolf and slamming into the Great White.
Not a defense against soul energy, the Ghost Hand can be ignored directly.
The next moment.
A blinding electric light erupted from the giant wolf. Unlike the one he used on Garcia, this time Kyle directly mobilized the maximum output, which was about to cook the giant wolf.
But after all, it's only first-level magic.
Although the power is good, the energy condensation is too low, and the two electric claws do not cause much damage to the giant wolf except for knocking it into a state of stiffness.
"It seems that cohesion is the key!"
Looking at Ethan, who was not affected at all because he was protected by the aura field.
Kyle had some realization in his heart.
Even if you can summon a lot of energy, if you can't gather and compress it, the most you can do is make a map cannon that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.
"The electric claw can't help you, but... Now comes the main event. ”
Six strangely shaped runes floated behind Kyle, linked together by rings of energy to form a rune spell wheel.
At the same time, the same rune wheel appeared in the hand of the ghost in the distance, only more petite.
When the rune wheel submerged into the giant wolf's body, the giant wolf's still twitching body instantly froze.
Runic Magic - Imprison!
"It worked!" Seeing this, Kyle shouted, "Garcia, go down and deal with that wolf, it won't be able to do anything for thirty seconds." I'm going to cancel the magic on Ethan! ”
"Good!" Garcia's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately agreed.
As the captain, if she doesn't help in the end, what difference is it from failure, Kyle's current act of bribery can be regarded as a change in her impression.
