Chapter 34 General and Special
"But Transfiguration can only get some special attack abilities! Without abilities like regeneration, hydra lizards are completely useless! "Apparently speaking, Rielly remembered the previous battle to defend the temple within the Seven Cities Alliance.
In that battle, even how many snakes and lizards with the ability to recover quickly died of hatred under the beating of Barrett and others. If it weren't for that amazing quick recovery, the big guy would have been a big target for the army to set fire toβand Rielly didn't think she could have anything good to do with that thing.
Barrett, who heard this, shook his head again and again even in front: "No! No! No! The reason why we were able to win that battle was because of the geographical advantage at that time. If it hadn't been confined to the narrow passage, the hydra lizard wouldn't have been so easily defeated. Of course, one thing is right, the Hydra lizard is not for you. And the first two maps are very valuable, and I don't know when I want to transform into other creatures in the future! A restrictive creature like a hydra lizard is indeed not the best choice. I'm just giving an example of a different type, not a suggestion. β
"I don't think there's any need for the enhanced hand-to-hand combat. We don't have a shortage of people in our team, and Barrett alone can top several people on other teams. At this time, Clematis also put forward his opinion on the side.
Rielly, who was thinking about it, naturally nodded after hearing this: "It is true that there is no need for full-time hand-to-hand combaters. Although I myself like to whip people, I choose other types to make a bigger difference. β
"Flying, didn't Barrett just mention the Pengyu Angel? I don't think Lily if you become that creature, it won't stop you from whipping people! "As a priest, Clematis may not have the 'deepest' knowledge of Rielly, but she can still have a more detailed understanding of angels, creatures that are somewhat related to religion.
After looking up the relevant information in the database, Rielly bit her lip lightly and nodded: "As long as you are not in flight, it really doesn't have any effect on the team's use of whips." Moreover, their claws are also weapons not inferior to epees, plus they have an advantage in flight speed and maneuverability. Although it doesn't have any specific attack effects, this base is very powerful. β
"By the way, don't forget the unique abilities of angels. As soon as you become an angel, you are immune to acid, cold, and petrification effects. It is also more handy against toxins. The survivability should be greatly enhanced by then. Klaimatis then added.
"Then choose it! Although the image doesn't seem to be very beautiful, there are a lot of advantages. Rielly finally made up her mind. gave his limited transformation quota to Peng Yu Angel.
At this time, Claudia, who was not very knowledgeable, suddenly asked: "When I was at Auditore's house, I seem to have heard that the most mobile angel among the low-ranking angels seems to be the Brani Angel!" Are you sure you're not mistaken? β
"O Brani! The perfect maneuver at super high speeds is tempting, but the power of that thing comes from the gas form, right? I don't think Transfiguration can give the user the 'shape-shifting' ability of the angel itself. Barrett, who touched his chin with his free hand, raised his eyebrows and said.
In appearance, the Brani Angel is very similar to intelligent beings such as humans. However, in addition to their natural form, the Brani Angel can also change into a whirlwind or a breeze with dust, snow, or sand. In their humanoid form, they cannot fly or use Whirlwind Strikes, but can use weapons. In their Whirlwind form, they can fly, performing Swing Attacks and Whirlwind Strikes. The only thing that has both in common is spell-like abilities.
"There's really no way to get the 'Shape Change' ability!" Rielly immediately nodded: "But at the beginning of the transformation, you can choose the form. But in his gas-like form, I can't cast many spells, and his whirlwind strike is a supernatural ability that I can't obtain. In addition, the agility and constitution modification are not as good as the Peng Yu Angel, and it is indeed not as good as the previous choice for a mage like me. β
"Is it very versatile?" Claudia immediately understood what she had overlooked, and immediately closed her mouth and said no more.
Rielly, who had finally solved a problem, was on the rise, and naturally planned to make a big move: "Hurry up and solve the remaining atlas and spells, so that I can easily choose tomorrow morning." β
"Please, you're the user! Do you have to ask others about everything? Where is the shrewdness of the past? Clematis, who was on the side, said angrily.
However, Barrett has no opinion on this: "I don't think it's a mistake to brainstorm on such a very important issue. This cautious approach of the mage should not be objected to. β
"Okay! Yes! Yes! Do you have any advice for the rest of you, Barrett, who is a good teacher? Hearing this, Clematis immediately threw all the burden on Barrett's head.
Barrett, who knew that Klaymatis was throwing a tantrum, didn't care about it at all: "The key is what the viewer wants, and now there is a versatile all-rounder Peng Yu Angel." Then what is needed after that should be some kind of idiosyncratic transformation! With direction, I was able to make recommendations. β
"Idiosyncratic changes? The dormant pseudo-monster's ability to whisper is indeed very good. But when you morph into that thing, it's not just ugly. Also, I won't be able to cast some spells that have an action component. Rielly was hesitant now, and when Barrett first mentioned the dormant pseudo-monster, she found the creature's ability to whisper was very enticing. However, the negative effects of transforming into that kind of monster made her hesitate. As for the other 'wrapping' abilities, Rielly didn't even look at them.
Agitation: Any opponent within a 60-foot sector will receive a 2-point impairment when performing an attack and damage check. An opponent who is forced to hear the sound for 30 seconds or more must successfully pass the Will Check, otherwise they will enter a trance state and will not be able to attack or defend themselves until the sound ends.
Fear: Any opponent within a 30-foot fan must pass the Will Check, otherwise they will panic for 12 seconds.
Nausea: Any opponent within a 30-foot cone must pass the tenacity test, otherwise he will have nausea and weakness. The affected opponent will fall prone and will regurgitate for 24-30 seconds.
Freeze: A single opponent within 30 feet of the dormant pseudo-monster must pass the Tenacity Check, or they will be affected by the effects of the human-like Immobilization for up to 30 seconds. Even if it passes, if the dormant Pseudomonster uses this effect again, the opponent will have to be exempted again.
Each of the above 4 selectable low sound effects can find the right place to use. When dealing with ordinary soldiers (cannon fodder) in group battles, the effect is absolutely ineffective. In particular, the anxiety effect that does not require immunity is a stable debuff.
But as Rieley said, there are a lot of drawbacks. And most of the effects are very close, so there is no way to use them in a safe area like many ranged spells. But it's still a cost-effective option.
"So what do you think are the best options? Babu Demon? Syr? The Sera-Red Toad Clan? Blade Raging Trolls? Four-armed orangutan? Demon Woman? Or a hundred-legged monster or a two-legged wyvern? Seeing the other party's hesitation, Barrett didn't make any proposals, but threw the question back to the mage.
"Demons? Originally, it was enough to be a crow demon before. The appearance of Babu Mom is even more different. Syr? The way that thing fights is disgusting. "As for the rest, each one is uglier than the other, so I don't want to transform into them!" Even the rags are much better than them. β
"You've picked them all, can you have any other options?" Barrett said with a little teasing.
Rielly, choked on Barrett's words, slapped her chest on the horse's back to ease up. At the same time, the light mage costume could not hide the surging waves: "Ahem! Okay, Barrett is you who wins this time. I don't bother with it, mother, can't I choose? Then there's one spell left, and I'll choose 'Secondary Spell Nullifying Enchantment'. It just so happens that I'm also a protective spell specialty, and I'm able to last a little longer than other mages. β
Since the choice of both shape-shifting monsters came from the advice of their companions. Naturally, Ellie had to decide which spell was left for herself. Otherwise, she would be too embarrassed to be a mage by listening to others.
"Alright! We have to find a place to rest quickly. This way, you'll be able to get 4 rings of new spells after you've slept well. Barrett, who led the way in front, didn't have a problem with the choice of the mage.
But Klaimatis said at this time: "I think it is better to keep running for a while and find a place away from the business routes." If they get too close, the damn assailants might be in the dark. β
"Try your best! But the traces of so many horses running in the wilderness are not so easy to hide. It's not easy to track at night, but after dawn, it's very noticeable. Speaking of this, Barrett suddenly emphasized, "If it is for safety, everyone has to get up early tomorrow morning." β
"All I need is a standard 8 hours." Rielly was the first to speak. Immediately afterwards, Clematis also nodded: "Me too!" β
Tonight the players didn't have the same fun as they used to. Tie your horse away from the trade route and get into the magic rope space. They immediately closed their eyes and began to force themselves to sleep. The next morning, I got up early the next morning with slightly pigmented circles under my eyes, and continued on the road.
The players of the next trip are in a hurry, in order to be able to leave the sphere of influence of the Cruze Kingdom one day earlier, even the war horses under your crotch are tired and thin. After the sun fell on the earth in the early morning of the sixth day, Barrett looked at the map in his hand: "If we follow the trade route, we will be able to set foot on the land south of Norhan within today." However, at the checkpoint of the trade road, I am afraid that there will be a special sentry to block it. In the absence of knowing which side it belongs to, we'd better go around it. β
"Those guys from the Cruze royal family, if I have a chance in the future, I must give them some trouble!" Rielly, who understood what Barrett was worried about, immediately waved her fist.
"Hey!" Seeing the mage's performance, Klamatiss chuckled, "It's not certain that we won't come to the Cruze Kingdom in the future!" Besides, with your strength, what can you do to the Cruze royal family? β
"I'm not worried about this, a royal family's stall is so big, there is always something that can't be taken care of. As long as you find an opportunity, it's not hard to disgust them. Besides, their actions could not be confined to Cruze. Rielly immediately gave a very convincing reason.
Clemmatis, who patted his forehead, smiled bitterly: "Why is it only at this time that your head moves so fast?" β
"That's it! Leave this alone, Barrett, how do you decide to go about it? Rielly, who was targeted, immediately changed the subject.
Barrett, who pretended to bow his head and ponder for a moment, then said: "A little further east! That would be good for moving away from the Cruze royal family's area of control. Then we crossed a stream and were able to enter the Brosnaan territory of Nohan before sunset. At that time, there should be no need to worry about the pursuit of the Viper Cavalry Regiment. β
"But those military cards, once they reach the Nohan Advancement, they can't be sold for money! It's a shame. "I was cutting a noodle with a dagger, and suddenly I put away the log.
Hearing this, Rielly immediately turned her head: "It's all at this time, where can I take care of those!" Besides, those military cards found the town and sold it for only 100 gold coins. It's also not worth the risk for them. β
After giving up some small profits, players set off on their final day in the Kingdom of Cruz. During this time, players have struggled to avoid possible pursuit from the Viper Cavalry Regiment. After discovering that they were about to move away from this threat, everyone's originally tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.
The galloping horses began to move away from the trade routes, and the undulating backs of the horses became more bumpy. But this time no one frownedβthe joy of a new life diluted the hardships of the trek in the wilderness. (To be continued.) )
