Chapter 12 Each has his own powers
At the lightning moment, Barrett turned his head and instinctively searched for the enemy caster. After all, no matter how superb the riding skills are, the horseback is still different from when it is down-to-earth, not to mention that it is still in the midst of chaos. Even it would be difficult for Barrett to completely dodge the unspoken thunderbolt in such a situation. Therefore, with the blessing of spell resistance and 'flash technique', he simply chose to resist the thunder that fell from the sky.
The lightning burst through Barrett's spell defenses with a 'crackling' sound, but then it was like a phantom that passed through Barrett's body and hit the ground not far away. The withered yellow weeds on the wasteland, after experiencing the baptism of thunder, burned "suddenly". The rising sparks swirled and fluttered in the cold wind.
The caster who found that the situation was not right immediately shifted the target of the next thunder attack - unlike the mage's fireball technique, the three-ring 'lightning summoning technique' of the nature god type could not be regarded as a qualified group attack spell. This is because at the end of this spell, and every 6 seconds thereafter, the caster can summon a vertical lightning bolt 5 feet wide and 30 feet long, dealing 3-18 points of shock damage.
This bolt of lightning will shoot vertically down on any target point specified by the caster within range of the spell (the distance is calculated from the caster's position when summoning the lightning). Any mob within the target square or in the lightning path will be affected. This makes it actually a continuous single attack spell, rather than a large group attack spell. Although it is capable of attacking multiple enemies, it can often only hit one of them at a time - it is not easy to stand with two people within a 5-foot diameter.
What's more, lightning doesn't need to be summoned immediately after casting. The caster can perform other actions. Or even cast other spells. However, the caster must remain focused for the duration of the spell to maintain the effect, which greatly limits the caster's actions. Although the total number of lightning bolts that can be summoned in the end is equal to the caster's caster level (up to a maximum of 10). But it's still a bit more than worth the loss.
Of course, if the caster is outside in a storm area - showers, dark clouds, strong winds, high temperatures and clouds. Even when there are tornadoes (including hurricanes created by the Wind Djinn or at least the large Wind Elemental) - the damage per lightning summoned by the caster is 3-30 instead of 3-18. However, such an environment is not easy to satisfy. Fortunately, this spell can work indoors or underground, otherwise it would be completely useless.
In fact, Lightning Summoning is one of the best offensive spells against two or fewer enemies - the total amount of damage it can throw is pretty good. But in the face of such a large number of enemies in front of him, the distribution is stretched. This may be one of the reasons why nature magic casters are inferior to arcane spellcasters on the battlefield!
In order not to waste those precious three-ring spells, the enemy shaman who was not able to master the special ability could not spare time to use other spells against Barrett. After losing the caster's containment, Barrett once again used his strength to stand alone. A little chill swept into the crowd - all while he searched for the caster of the thieves, though the guy wasn't too much of a threat to Barrett. But the rest of the caravan is hard to say. Rangers like the one who were struck by lightning and fell off their horses one after another are the best examples.
'Don't have soul beasts, it's better not to have soul beasts. Barrett prayed in his heart as he looked around for a possible caster.
The main abilities of this class of shamans are derived from spirits. These spirits encompass a very large variety: all the void undead. All Sperm creatures. All elemental creatures. A creature with an astral form. All spirit-type creatures, and more. And Barrett had previously mentioned the difference between shamans on the orc side and these shamans on the prairie. That's actually a little comforting in nature.
After all, the two are actually connected. Among the nomads of the steppes, it is not without geniuses who rely on their own efforts to accomplish such sublimation without guidance. The biggest difference between the two is whether or not they have soul beasts.
Normally, every shaman in the steppe has a spirit guide, who is the embodiment of the spirit world. In general, the shaman and his spirit guide are one and share various experiences together. Unlike the Pet, the Soul Guardian is not an entity independent of the Shaman. Only being able to perceive their presence can interact with them.
It lives only in the shaman's mind - only the embodiment of the individual mind, and does not have special strengths and weaknesses because of differences in form. The Spirit Guide increases the shaman's ability to be alert to the world around him, just like the "Alert" specialty. The ability of the spirit guide can be further improved as the shaman's strength increases.
And unlike the nomads of the steppes. Those spellcasters who originally belonged to the orcs, under the guidance of their gods and civilizations, were able to use the power of the spirit more calmly - that is the soul domain. It is the concentrated embodiment of the same kind of spirit. And the shaman is closely connected to some kind of soul beast represented by the chosen spirit. This soul beast is the channel of communication between the shaman and the soul realm, leading the shaman along this path. Soul beasts can also give shamans some special abilities.
Although, like the spirit of communication, the orc shaman must communicate with the soul beast every day to prepare spells. However, the soul beast does not store spells for the shaman like the witch's pet, it is only a bridge between the shaman and the divine power. What's more, soul beasts have physical existence.
Normally, the soul beasts of the Battle Soul Domain look like ferocious species, with agitated muscles and strong skeletons. The soul beasts of the Bone Soul Domain are very pale and transparent. And it has been under the effect of hazy magic. The soul beasts of the Flame Soul Domain were surrounded by a ring of fire, glowing like candles. Therefore, it is usually the primary goal of identifying the difference between the two.
As we all know, the three great magic weapons of a druid are shapeshifting, animal companions, and spells. And the shaman without soul beasts has lost his iconic transformation ability and strong animal companion in the early stage, and only retains the list of spells that the druid can only be regarded as human. To put it bluntly, it's a castrated version of a druid. Although there are some special abilities in targeting the spirit enemies. But the versatility is extremely poor. But if you have a soul beast. With the power of the Soul Realm, these shamans are able to use some special sorcery. This kind of sorcerer-like ability is still quite difficult.
Unfortunately, although Barrett traveled all the way to find it, the enemy caster was very cunning. He seemed to be deliberately avoiding Barrett, not letting him find a clue. On the contrary, it was the dancing spear that did another great feat - and in a few moments, two more horse thieves were splattered with blood.
From the beginning of this raid to the present, counting the number of horse thieves in the double digits has been under Barrett's spear. Most of these horse thieves in front of me are from bad backgrounds, and they don't seem to have many adventures in their upbringing (those who have that kind of good fortune rarely stay in this business).
This led to them becoming soft-footed shrimp one by one when facing a strong man like Barrett. A disadvantage that usually has no effect. Under the huge gap in strength between the two sides, they were all exposed one by one. And every time they make a mistake, they leave their life and death to Barrett.
While constantly tearing the wounds from the enemy's body, Barrett did not forget to calm his slightly irritable qi and blood through breathing - it is not easy to use the qi and blood for a long time, and the interference from the human body makes Barrett want to maintain his strong combat power, and he has to fight up his spirit.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! "Every 6 seconds, where the team of horse thieves is, there is a huge red light that comes into view along with a raging heat wave. It was Rielly's constant release of the fireballs that had been stored in the scrolls beforehand. This three-ring spell, known as the king of the battlefield, constantly burned the horse thieves within his range. Their eyebrows were burned, their clothes and hair burned, and some of them had their lungs burned and they breathed like bellows.
However, this time the horse thief's strength was much stronger than the ones he had encountered before, so there was no situation where a single fireball caused a large area of enemies to fall from his horse. Fortunately, this time, Rielie's preparation was sufficient. After such a long accumulation, even the clouds in the sky were illuminated red by the fire on the ground. And under the raging of this successive flames, it was not only the injured horse thieves who fell from their horses. At the same time, dried corpses appeared.
And the 'Stinky Cloud Technique' that had previously made meritorious contributions was not used by Rielly this time. That's because of the strong winds on the grassland, which greatly affected the effect of the 'Stinky Cloud Technique'. It's fine if it's just blown away, but if it's accidentally blown back into the caravan's camp, then you're about to vomit out your intestines and become your own people. To be on the safe side, Rielly still chose the fireball technique that was not affected in front of her.
“…… O goddess! Please grant us ...... "At the moment when the horse thief was about to engage with the convoy, Clematis. Bot got down on one knee and began to channel the first spell of the day. Immediately after that, a bright yellow aura spread out around it. Within this 40-foot radius, the members of the caravan and the adventurers were all refreshed and energized. The horse thief who entered it felt extremely depressed mentally, and at the same time, his body became heavy.
"Sonorous!" The hand-to-hand battle had begun, and the dwarves with shields held on to their steady territory, constantly slamming the knees of the horses with the 'ancient virtues' in their hands. The 'poof' sound is often followed by the neighing of the horse, which usually indicates that a horse thief has been thrown to the ground by his own mount.
The halfling wanderer lurking on the roof of a caravan is now firing crossbows stored in the spell space at an unprecedented speed. However, in the face of a large number of enemies, this accurate sniping seems to be a drop in the bucket.
Claudia. Auditore originally intended to use inertial speech against the local powerhouses, as Barrett had previously said. However, plans are not changing quickly. Horse thieves like that, most of them were attracted by Barrett's previous charge, and they all went to kill the guy who was charging alone—most of these guys who wanted Barrett to show Barrett what the Prairie Eagle was, and most of them were a wisp of death under Barrett's gun.
This makes it impossible to find the target of Claudia. Auditore was reluctant to use his chant for those minor characters. In her opinion, against ordinary horse thieves, her words and spirits can only have the best effect by blessing their teammates.
Since the beginning of the battle, the cat boy has not appeared on the battle line, and at this moment he is really guarding Rielly in the center of the camp, ready to eliminate the threat to the mage at any time. According to Team Leader Bosie, the key to this battle is whether Rielly's fireball technique can inflict enough damage on the enemy to shake the opponent's determination to attack.
Therefore, as the most important part of the defense, the safety of Rieli's life has become crucial. So in the open space in the center of the caravan, Rielly not only had a group of adventurers with shields around her, but also summoned the extremely skilled catboys.
The collision between the two sides was like a huge wave hitting the reef. Relying on the caravan defense line, although it was crumbling under the impact of the horse thieves, it finally survived. One by one, the spell scrolls in Rielly's hands turned into blank parchment with no writing, and a wave of heat set off around the caravan, sending large numbers of enemies around them on their backs.
However, even after falling from their horses, four or fifty percent of these skilled attackers were able to continue fighting. Armed with a variety of blades, they burrowed through the gaps in the caravan and fought hand-to-hand with the caravan's protectors. Splashes of blood, both horse thieves and caravanserais.
At the same time, Barrett, who was fighting, finally couldn't withstand the long battle with a spear in his hand, and broke from it with a "click". After all, although this weapon was the best product Barrett had chosen in the Blacksmith Shop in Boreham, it was not a magic weapon and its material was ordinary, so it was still difficult to withstand such a harsh combat test. Because he had to pick up the spare scimitar.
Suddenly, with a strong wind, the air on the entire battlefield seemed to freeze after this sudden strong wind. (To be continued......)
