Chapter 111: Targeted Combinations
It can be said that this series of homeopathic slashing enhancement specializations, if there is no racial restriction of dwarves, will definitely become the dream choice of all warriors. In particular, the two specialties of 'Goblin Splitter' and 'Orc Slayer' are the favorites of all adventurers - you can always encounter a nest of goblins in the wilderness, and the orcs are also common robbers. Only the large creatures that the Giant Killer faces are rare, but they can be used in special missions.
It can be said that compared to the previous Barrett mentioned the Iron Head Gong series of specialties, this homeopathic slash series has a significantly wider audience - the only problem is that the anvil is positioned as a shield, not a lawnmower. So even when he was in the second team, he didn't think about using his valuable expertise on it.
Because of this, at this moment, when he faced several enemies in front of him, left and right, he was left with only defensive strength and no chance to launch a counterattack - whether it was the war hammer in his right hand or the shield in his left hand, they were busy parrying and blocking the enemy's attack. Even with this dodge, the slatted armor he was wearing still had several deep scars on it.
Fortunately, at this time, the cat boy withdrew the claw blade of his deputy from the neck of one of the attackers on his side. Although this weapon is not very damaging, it can be fatal if it cuts the throat of an enemy. Turning around, Lalu kicked his legs, and directly used the body of the attacker who was struggling with his neck as a point of strength. Then he immediately rushed to the dwarven warrior who had been beaten back again and again.
And Barrett, who is the pillar of the team, is also in trouble at the moment. He had two enemies, one of whom was tall and strong, with a tiger skin skirt around his waist in addition to the chain mail on his body. Surprisingly, this guy was wearing a pair of sandals with straps. At the same time, these sandals form a very strong contrast with the leggings that are tied to the small calf, which makes people feel very awkward how they look.
In Barrett's field of vision. The enemy in front of him who was confronting him head-on. There is brown and red skin that has been burned by the scorching sun all year round. The broad shoulders, strong chest and thick arms of the opponent are very coordinated, and even the chain mail covering the outside cannot hide the powerful explosive power underneath it—this is something that the two sides have since clashed with each other. Barrett felt it more clearly.
Although the opponent's unkempt and hard black hair made Barrett unable to see the enemy's face. But the pair of blue eyes that emitted a dangerous glow between the ends of his hair burned Barrett's eyebrows like pins. At the same time, the giant sword glowing with cold light danced vigorously in the hand of the person in front of him. Although in terms of strength, it is not as good as the berserker he encountered when he took on the mission of Viscount Goldthorn before. But in terms of skill, it is clearly more than a step higher.
Even though Barrett was already under the shroud of flashing, he still didn't dare to use his body to try to force this combination of skill and force - although if he was lucky, he could make the opponent's attack miss. Maybe I have a chance to catch the flaws and send him back to his hometown. But if he is unlucky, Barrett, who has been stabbed, will not be well even if he has the dual protection of the ability of Adamantite Breastplate and Muscle Armor.
Of course, if there was only one enemy in front of him, Barrett might have really taken a risk. It's a pity that in addition to this big black-haired man, there are also minions beating side drums around him. Another masked man who constantly wanders around Barrett. At this moment, he also has the ability to threaten Barrett's life.
The long strands of this guy's long hair were tangled into whips of different lengths after the blanket mask. And these whips are like living octopus tentacles, constantly testing Barrett's blade to form a line of defense, or ready to roll at his vital point at any time.
While it's unlikely that the whipping of these 'tentacles' will directly hurt Barrett – it's hard to imagine how hard these hairs can be. But if it gets tangled in his hands, feet, head, or neck, it can also cause Barrett a lot of trouble. Of course, what made Barrett feel even more threatened was the strange 'buzzing' sound from time to time of the soft sword in the opponent's hand that danced back and forth like a poisonous snake.
Because every time this soft sword makes such a sound, it is often at the same time that Barrett launches a counterattack. With the reminder of this weapon, let alone the owner who holds it. Even the soldiers beating the side drums around him, as well as the big men facing the enemy head-on, were able to detect Barrett's attack in time. Although even anticipating Barrett's attack. Those guys may not be able to handle it properly. But in this case, Barrett also felt as awkward as a ladybug that had fallen into a spider's web.
It seems to be a smart thing! Combined with the guy's way of fighting. It should be a sword binder. I've recruited similar characters during the beta period! Unexpectedly, Barrett, who was frowning ...... today, had already judged the true identity of the enemy behind him.
Among the vast number of magical items, magical items with their own intelligence are probably the most wonderful of them. These true "strange things" have gone beyond simple tools and are more akin to the existence of a living ally of the bearer.
Through the cognitive abilities conferred by magical powers, these objects can think and feel like any ordinary intelligent being. And they often have some very magical abilities, or they can burst out with unusual powers when performing special tasks.
Only permanent Magic items, i.e., non-disposable or Charged Items, can become Smart Items. So this list has to weed out all potions, scrolls, and wands, which will never be smart items. On a large scale, on average, 1 out of 100 magic items will be at most a smart item.
And because they possess mental attributes such as intelligence, perception, and charisma, intelligent objects should be treated as living beings—often constructs. In most cases, smart objects are free to emit magical glow similar to that of a magic weapon, although some magical glows may not be visible.
However, unlike most magic items, smart items are free to activate their own special abilities. Rather than being like an unintelligent object, it needs to respond to the user's commands in order to work. This allows it to fill in the gaps for its own holders. As a spell item, it is also a good helper for an alternative.
All smart objects have a base visual and auditory range of at least 30 feet. It also uses the same range of communication as its own infectious emotional capacity. By infecting the emotional capacity. A smart item can be both for and against the actions of its owner. And at an additional cost, smart items can also gain unique perception capabilities.
In general, a smart item can try to encourage or discourage its user from taking a specific action. This ability can be expressed in the form of words. and can converse loudly in any language it understands. It is also able to read text written in any language, regardless of the known language. They can always read magical words and scrolls, just as they can read magical effects, but they cannot use scrolls and other magical items with this ability. While they can also suppress this ability with a free will, it is not necessary in most cases - this makes them good interpreters for their masters.
More importantly, telepathic abilities allow intelligent objects and their owners to communicate with their minds in private without having to think about language. Of course, when communicating telepathically, the wielder must come into contact with the item. However, the senses of a smart object are only allowed to see and hear what is happening within the limits of what is allowed. If a smart item has the ability to see in darkness or blindness, it will be more helpful to the user.
Of course, a good helper like this is not so easy to come across. But there is such a chosen group among the demon warriors. They renounced their pets and were ordered to carry the equipment known as the Sword of Enlightenment. These equipment are unknown. With wisdom and an unknown purpose.
For the Demon Warriors, these Implements are both valuable tools and companions—for both swords and swordsmen alike are equally hungry for the power of the Arcane. However, as the Blade of Revelation becomes wiser, its true purpose becomes apparent, and it may even influence the fate of its bearer with its growing ego.
However, these demon warriors will have an intelligent weapon that can grow automatically. Not only is this a huge savings in money, but the Hip Value is even more impressive - weapon growth and enhancement bonuses are free, which makes it easy for Demon Warriors to take the agile route. It doesn't have to be so hard to hold a dexterous weapon. At the same time, it allows the owner to deal damage such as sonic waves (a weapon that breaks damage reduction), and can also give them advice when they are at a loss.
Of course, nothing in this world is free of all benefits that do not have to be paid. At the same time as obtaining the Sword of Enlightenment. The time it takes for a Demon Warrior to gain the Arcanon class ability will be greatly delayed. For example, the first Arcane was originally available at level 3, but it will be postponed to level 6. This allows them to start with a level 7 specialization before they can choose an additional Arcane specialty. In addition, the Sword of Enlightenment has a weak late-game buff and cannot be enchanted - it can be said to be an alternative inheritance that is strong in the early stage and relatively weak in the later stage.
However, such a genre is indeed very suitable for Barrett in front of him. In particular, the swordbinder's 'Sword of Enlightenment' seems to have the ability to predict or quickly discern the actions of others. Combined with its own powerful enhancement effect. Barrett was quite uncomfortable in the hands of his master.
Barrett, who carefully moved his steps, began to shift most of his attention to the 'swordbinder' behind him. Because he knows that if he doesn't solve this guy, he doesn't know how long this battle will drag on! As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing that one can win all battles, Barrett, who was observing the demon warrior, also assessed his other abilities: "That tangled tentacle long hair doesn't seem to be the demon warrior's own ability!" Could it be that this guy is a part-time sorcerer, or that he also has the inheritance of a witch warrior? Where did the Lucians find such freaks?
Some of the casters learn from it, some through devotion, and some rely on bloodlines for their power. For sorcerers, their power comes from communicating with the unknown. Making a pact with otherworldly beings and using them to gain magical powers—and that's one of the reasons why they're often misunderstood or feared—and on the other hand, most of the people who excel at it are women, which makes the legend of witches deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Sorcerers use their own magic (a special type of pet) as a bridge to the source, through which they gain the magic power to cast spells, as well as a series of strange abilities known as sorcery. As their power grows, some of them begin to study the source of their magic, others are content with the status quo and do not want to delve into it, and some are afraid of the source, which is its true face, or the true purpose hidden in the depths.
The so-called witch warriors are a faction among the demon warriors who have discovered how to use their own arcane ability pool to form a witchcraft effect. These warriors can cast sorcery on allies and foes, curse those they attack, and expand their own spell selection with a multitude of curses and harmful spells - to put it bluntly, forgo some of their arcane abilities in favor of those that are considered to be particularly powerful. Although it is also necessary to give up the spell recall ability that can be obtained at level 4, the mastery spell recall obtained at high level is still there, so the disadvantage is not obvious.
And the reason why Barrett made such a judgment was completely because of the Gorgon-like hair on the other side, a rare ability that only a sorcerer possesses. Because of the iconic white hair, which is mostly found on female sorcerers. As a result, they are often referred to as white-haired banshees (some people translate them as white-haired witches, but that name is a bad taste).
These white-haired banshees learn to use their hair as a weapon. Her hair functions like a natural weapon with 5 feet of touch, dealing damage equivalent to a dagger (1D4) plus an intelligence modifier, and when she hits a target with her hair, she has the option to quickly grab them without triggering an opportunistic attack. And when they use their hair to wrestle, replace her Strength bonus with her Intelligence bonus. What's more, when the white-haired witch uses this method to capture, she herself will not enter the state of capture-does she have the urge to cry when she sees the warrior monks walking here to grab and hug.
It can be said that it is to deal with Barrett, the 'hateful guy' who has embarrassed himself. The eldest young master from Lucia also put in a lot of money - a combination arrangement like this is not so easy to come together. But with all that thought, it worked out pretty well. Even after receiving the upgrade of the new equipment, Barrett still feels very passive in front of such an enemy. (To be continued......)
