Chapter Twenty-Four: The Battle Wizard

"Not necessarily. ”

Viola shook her head slightly, her brilliant blonde hair swaying like a wave, shimmering with a glimmer that made Wren lose his mind for a moment.

He had an idea, activated the photo function of his mobile phone through his mind, and with a "click" in his head, he froze the beautiful scene in front of him and became the first photo in the gallery.

While secretly taking pictures, he didn't forget his business, and he asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Viola thought for a moment and said, "The Battle Wizard is the most special of the eight specializations, and the gap between the upper and lower limits of its strength is huge. ”

"At the same class level, a battle wizard may be the strongest, surpassing all the transcendent classes, but it may also be the weakest, not far from the average Iron Guard. ”

"Of course, this is the most extreme case, and most battle wizards are not weak, similar to other wizards. ”

Wren was stunned.

Those who can become wizards are top talents, and it is normal to be strong, but how can they be as weak as the Iron Guard?

You know, the Iron Guard is the most common transcendent class.

As long as you pass the soul transformation ceremony, anyone can be transferred to the Iron Guard, it can be said that there is no threshold, unless you advance to other professions, the strength of the Iron Guard is basically the existence of the bottom.

"What the hell is going on with the Battle Wizard?" Wren asked, puzzled.

"It's the result of the way they fused demon souls. ”

Viola said, "You already know that the wizards of the Law Seal School and the Soul Guardian School are different from ordinary otherworldly professions in the way they merge. ”

"The sorcerers of these two schools, who cast spells with soul power, are pure spellcasters. Therefore, their own strength is not outstanding, and hand-to-hand combat becomes an unavoidable weakness. ”

"Even if a transformation wizard has a strong hand-to-hand combat ability, their transformation form is only temporary, and the transformation is actually a strengthening spell in essence, and after the transformation is over, the body will return to its usual normal state, and there are still weaknesses. ”

And the combat school was born to solve this weakness. ”

"The theory of the combat school is actually very simple, just like the general transcendent profession, directly fuse the entire demon soul into your own soul, and there is no need to give the demon soul special treatment first like the other two schools. ”

"They have high requirements for demon souls, and demon souls must have a variety of elements, preferably including 'physical elements' that can improve their own strength and defense, and 'arcane elements' that can cast spells with soul power, so that combat wizards can balance melee combat and spell-casting abilities!"

After Viola finished speaking, she picked up the tea on the table and took a sip elegantly.

"Is it okay?" Wren thought as he broke, frowning.

Generally, there are elements in Demon Souls, and each element represents an ability. All the elements of the world are divided into three types, physical, arcane, and paranormal.

Physical elements can only be stimulated by the power of their own muscles, blood and bones, such as "stone skin", "tenacity", "endurance", "bloody rage", "dexterous hand", "giantization", etc., these elements can be strengthened by fusing more demon souls and superimposing the same element, so that they can gain stronger strength.

Generally speaking, physique elements tend to act at the physical level, while arcane elements mainly manipulate various energies.

Arcane elements are a necessary condition for the caster, and only soul power can drive arcane elements.

Each arcane element is a kind of spell, including the offensive type of "Fireball Technique", the protective type of "Elemental Armor", the buff type of "Psionic Infusion", the healing effect of the "Restoration Technique", etc., the number and complexity of the types are the most among the three elements, and no one knows how many spells there are in total.

Arcane elements cannot be stacked, but you can invest soul power to increase the number of rings, the lowest ring, the highest nine rings.

The last one is a very rare ability element.

Ability elements can be activated with both physical power and soul power, like a combination of the two elements, without any restrictions.

Each ability is a rare ability, and most abilities are so powerful that people can't get enough of them.

In each transcendent class, the strength of wizards is based on a large number of arcane elements, and there is no need to consider the conflict of demon souls, so they have the strongest spell-casting ability, but due to the lack of physical elements, it leads to the weakness of insufficient melee combat effectiveness.

Classes other than wizards, such as Berserkers, Rangers, Shadow Warriors, Gunslingers, Iron Guards, and Martial Artists, are not completely transformed during the ritual to master meditation methods, so they can only choose these more basic classes.

If you can't cultivate meditation, you naturally have no soul power.

These basic classes can only be fused with a complete Demon Soul to increase their strength, even if the Demon Soul has secret elements, but without soul power, they still can't cast spells.

Moreover, the biggest problem with merging complete demon souls is the conflict between demon souls.

Most demon souls in the world are incompatible, and it is almost impossible for two demon souls to be completely compatible, but the level of fusion is different.

The conflict is fierce and the degree of integration is low, which will lead to the loss of elements in the demon soul, and even make one's own strength regress.

Therefore, many transcendents are conservative upgrades.

Within the same stage, for example, from level 1 to level 3, choose to fuse three identical demon souls, and superimpose and strengthen the existing elements, and the conflict will not be so intense.

It's just that in this way, it is difficult to increase the elements in the soul, and the ability is relatively rare.

Of course, there are also some transcendent professions that are more talented than the basic professions, able to master meditation methods and cultivate soul power, but do not meet the requirements for turning into wizards, such as witchers, bloodborne warlocks, mechanics, and shepherds.

In addition, many church professions also have the ability to cast spells, such as the Holy Swordsman of the Righteous Church, the Earth Nun of the Earth Church, and so on.

These semi-caster classes other than wizards have to face the problem of demon soul conflict.

However, under the exploration of predecessors and churches, the upgrade routes of these professions are relatively mature, forming a fixed integration system.

After the first soul transformation, which demon soul should be fused as the main soul, and which demon soul should be selected as the secondary soul, all are known, which minimizes the degree of conflict, which not only ensures the success of the fusion, but also allows for more element abilities.

After that, every time the soul changes, advances, upgrades, and even goes to the legendary realm, as long as there is a corresponding demon soul, it will be fused step by step.

Thinking about it this way, what is the difference between a battle wizard and these semi-casting classes?

Unless the Battle Wizard also has a complete fusion system, and it is stronger than the semi-cast class, and the fusion degree is higher!

Wren wasn't sure about this, so he asked, "Does the Battle Wizard also have a legacy?"

"Nope. ”

Viola shook her head, "Battle wizards are rare, and the battle wizards in our Longshande City may be able to count them on one hand, so how can there be any system inheritance." ”

Wren was a little speechless, and his heart was even more confused.

There are so few battle wizards, and there is no inheritance, and the overall strength is obviously at the bottom of the wizarding school, and there is no right to speak, so why is it juxtaposed as a kind of specialization?

Viola guessed Wren's thoughts at once, chuckled, and said, "Battle wizards definitely have a unique advantage, and this advantage lies in the high degree of fusion. ”

"High degree of integration?" Wren faintly thought of a possibility.

"Yes. Viola didn't sell it anymore, explaining: "The battle wizard has a special meditation method that originates from the top of the elven race, called the 'World Tree Meditation Method', which has been improved by a great wizard to allow the wizard to cultivate, which can reduce the conflict between demons and souls and increase the degree of fusion. ”

"World Tree Meditation, Great Wizard?"

Wren thought about it for a few seconds, and found that he was lonely and unheard of a big man.

Viola's expression became serious, and she said with a look of admiration: "Holy Soul Wizard, Oroin Mithlangel, you should always know, right?"

"Of course I do. Wren was taken aback, there were twelve Holy Soul Wizards in the Empire, each of whom was a well-known existence, and he was surprised, "Master Oroin is the founder of the Battle Wizard?"

Viola nodded, "Master Euroin is not only a pioneer, he is a battle wizard himself. ”

"I see. ”

Wren suddenly realized, it turned out that the ancestor of the battle wizard was one of the twelve holy soul wizards of the empire, no wonder it would become a kind of specialty for wizards!

Viola continued: "The wizard's talent itself is better than other professions, the soul is completely transformed, and there is a certain advantage when fusing demon souls, and then using meditation methods to reduce conflicts, so that some worries can be reduced, and the range of choices for demon souls is much larger, so it is naturally more powerful than ordinary semi-casting professions." ”

Wren finally understood.

However, he did not blindly think that as long as he was a combat wizard, he was stronger than other professions.

Sure enough, Viola said: "Battle wizards are not able to fuse demon souls at will, there are still conflicts, but the conflicts are not so serious, and the fusion degree of demon souls will be higher." ”

"Moreover, the demon souls chosen by the battle wizards are usually very powerful and have a variety of elements, and even if they have certain advantages, the probability of fusion failure is not low. ”

"Once the fusion fails, you can only wait for the next upgrade or soul transformation. ”

Wren nodded, every time he fused the demon soul was a difficult test for the transcendent, he could only succeed, not fail. And the consequence of failure is that the strength is a cut below that of the transcendents of the same level, and it is difficult to make up for it.

Even if it is a battle wizard, if there are fewer demon souls than others, the strength will definitely be greatly reduced.

If it fails a few more times, it will really be inferior to the same level of iron guard.

"The Battle Wizard profession is really fun. ”

Wren laughed, he finally knew why Viola looked so strange when she spoke of battle wizards, and maybe everyone who heard of battle wizards for the first time would find it very new.

It's an extraordinary career with both opportunities and risks.

If you choose the right Demon Soul, you will soar to the sky, become a super wizard with awesome melee combat and spell-casting omnipotence, and if you choose the wrong Demon Soul, you will fall into the dust and mud, and everyone will become omnipotent, and even be at the bottom of the class of the same level, trampled under the feet of others.

The opportunity is rare, but the risk is greater.

Wren believes that unless someone is extremely sure of his own talent, only gamblers will choose to become a battle wizard.

Viola looked at him thoughtfully, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said, "Mr. Wren, if you want to become a combat wizard, I happen to have a 'World Tree Seed' here, which is a soul power medium for cultivating the World Tree meditation method, I don't know if you are interested?"
