Chapter 49: Miller's Battle
A ghost had just emerged from the mist, a green light flashing under its feet, and a puff of transparent thorns made of rules and energy surged upward, breaking through the ghost's defenses and plunging into its body. Toxins erupted from the thorns, carrying corrosive energy that instantly reduced the ghost's life by a single notch.
The effect of the toxin in the miracle world is to continue to lose 3% of blood for a period of time.,The damage to ordinary monsters is actually not very big.,But for boss-like monsters with a lot of blood, the damage is terrifying.。
The ghost, who had been poisoned, was furious and immediately found the human who had attacked it. It let out a sharp whistling and threw its claws high at the man, its crooked hooks cutting through the air and the sound of the wind at the human's chest.
The human took a step back to dodge, but his movements were too slow, and the ghost's claws had already touched his clothes, grabbing into his chest in the next moment, causing blood to burst out.
But the ghost's claws swung through it without feeling any flesh and blood, which confused it, and the human body became virtual and disappeared into thin air in an instant.
The ghost, having lost its aim, turned to find its enemies, but the air around it suddenly became bitterly cold, and a large cloud of ice suddenly appeared in the cold air as if it were glass shattering, freezing the lower half of the ghost's body.
The frozen ghost writhed frantically, its two sharp claws clawing at the ice to get out of the predicament. The human on the other side waved the staff in his hand from afar, and waves of white light pierced the air and attacked the ghosts that had been hit by ice and poison in succession.
The enraged ghost finally clawed the ice on its body and pounced on the human again with all its hatred, but the cold poison that could not be dissipated in its body made its movements slow and sluggish, and it still maintained its slowing effect. Each melee attack was dodged by the human with teleportation, and the Freeze Spell made it hit again and again in the interval between teleportations.
In a battle that bordered on teasing, the ghost, which had always been frozen and toxin, finally died of hatred in a slow back and forth pursuit, turning into a cloud of Mana energy and dissipating into the air, and a skill book appeared where it died.
The next moment, there was a phantom flicker in the air, and as soon as Mage Miller appeared, he reached out and scooped up the skill book in his hand.
Although the battle just now, it seemed that the ghost was completely under the control of the mage, and did not cause the slightest damage. But only Miller knew how nervous and frightened he was, and his crotch was even wet, and he didn't know if it was sweat or some kind of bodily fluid squeezed out of fear.
Miller never felt like a man of courage, either before the Cataclysm or after becoming a witcher. He was born on a farm in the northwest with many brothers and sisters, and he was the most inconspicuous of the children since he was a child.
When I arrived at school and even at work, I was still so confused and didn't have any clear goals and plans. I thought that I would live a life like this and become the most ordinary ordinary person, but I didn't expect to encounter the apocalypse.
So many good or brave people have died, but they have survived by mistake to become a witcher mage.
But even if he survived and became a witcher, it would still be just as mediocre. Miller didn't even think he had any talent for magic or combat, and was always clumsy and even more fearless in the face of terrible monsters.
All this seemed to have changed until he met Su Bai and Qin Tian, and in this small team, he felt mutual respect and trust, and this feeling of being needed and valued was something Miller had never felt in his previous life.
As I got used to teamwork, I started to grow even a little bit of confidence in my body.
It's just that this bit of confidence was shattered after Qin Tian forcefully asked him to fight a ghost alone, and although he strongly objected, he couldn't resist Qin Tian's roar.
Qin Tian told him in detail how to use his skills, how to use teleportation to dodge the ghost's attacks, and at the same time guaranteed that Serena would take care of him throughout the whole process, but when he faced the terrifying ghost alone, he still felt scared and cowered in fear. In the end, after Qin Tian forced him to release his skills on a ghost with a knife, he closed his eyes and let go.
In the face of the first ghost, there are all kinds of mistakes without suspense, and all kinds of dangers are everywhere, especially the use of teleportation skills.
Either because of fear and early release, or because of the bad time, he was scratched by the monster at a bad time before he knew that it flashed, but fortunately, Selina focused on it did not let him die on the spot.
However, after a few rounds of flawed skill releases, he finally stumbled and killed the first heads-up ghost. When the ghost's long howl turned into Mana energy, Miller, covered in blood, was shocked to find that he had indeed killed a high-level monster alone.
After a short break and adjustment, Miller regained a bit of confidence, and continued to work hard to take out two more ghosts in a row.
As his combat experience increased, he became more and more comfortable with the release of his skills, and he became more and more courageous. In particular, Miller, who found his own spell-casting rhythm during the battle with the fifth ghost, didn't let the ghost hurt him once. Having really managed to kill a ghost without injury, he has now touched the threshold of a little battle mage.
Miller couldn't help but burst into tears as he looked at the meteorite skill book in his hand. Meteorites! This is currently the most powerful single attack skill of the mage.
Some time ago, I could only look up to a mage who knew meteorite, and I couldn't imagine that I would learn it one day.
You must know that half a year ago, a meteorite technique required at least 2 or 3 blessings to trade, or it was priceless, and if it was converted into gold coins, it would be at least nearly 10 million gold coins, which was a sky-high price that he couldn't imagine.
At present, although the meteorite technique is a little more, and the price has dropped, it will take one or two million to make a deal, but Miller can only look at it.
But I didn't expect that now I could actually type one by myself, Miller looked at the quaint and mysterious skill book in his hand and excitedly shared his joy with his companions.
"Learned it! It's the reward you deserve. I just played a good Miller. I knew you could! Qin Tian gave Miller an affirmative smile as he fought. The others also congratulated him, and the role of the mage who had learned meteorite art in the main output of the team could be experienced.
Miller took a deep breath and opened the skill book, and a crimson aura immediately appeared in midair, and the golden runes composed of countless rules and energy flickered in turn, reflecting in Miller's pupils.
In the next moment, countless points of light from these runes disappeared into Miller's eyes, Miller took a deep breath and closed his eyes, a smile gradually appeared on his face. After a while, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the staff in his hand pointed at a ghost that had just been refreshed, and a fire meteor the size of a water tank appeared in mid-air and smashed into the ghost.
With a "boom", the scorching meteorite smashed into the ghost's body and sparks flew everywhere.
The monster screamed in pain, but there was no enemy in front of it, and Miller's staff, which had already teleported in the air, appeared in a series of cold ice and poisonous mist, and the ghost of the ice and poison spell was even more sluggish.
With a flash of white light, Miller landed in a safe spot, and he unleashed two meteorites in quick succession at the white, green venomous ghost.
The scarred ghost struggled to pounce on the abominable human in successive explosions, but the next moment history repeats itself and it also pounces on the air, and in a moment the angry ghost vanishes under the continuous impact of meteorites.
"Hah! Brother Miller, you're amazing! Kill a ghost by yourself so quickly, I don't even need to heal you. Serena's face was full of adoration.
"Haha, yes. This meteorite technique is much more powerful than my vacuum wave, and the speed of killing monsters is twice as fast. Miller, who had tasted the sweetness, was already full of confidence at this time, and the fear and trepidation on his face had long been swept away, and all that was left was fighting spirit and excitement.
"Okay! Yes! My Archmage. You're finally a bit of a mage now. Haha, you played well just now, continue to continue, and now it's up to you and Su Bai to perform. I took a break with the aquatic plants, and we took turns. Qin Tian walked over and patted Miller's shoulder, revealing a harmless smile.
"Ahh Just the two of us. Is there so much to blame here, can we do it? Miller trembled when he heard Qin Tian's words, and he didn't know where the confidence just now had gone.
"Don't worry, Miller! And Serena took care of us. If we have to fight for a long time, we must take turns to rest, otherwise no one will be able to withstand it. You know how to do meteorite, and it should be fine with me. Su Bai said while fighting a ghost, he had just been promoted and finally took the spiked shield he had just hit, and his defense had increased significantly.
Qin Tian and the aquatic plants directly found a place in the corner to lie down, and Qin Tian, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, snored after a while. Seeing this, Miller gritted his teeth and fought with the refreshed ghost again.
