Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Deliverance Chapter 86: A Dangerous Attempt
After a few days of unremitting efforts, Yu Dongshui was finally able to make a set of actions to extract the soil cone and shoot it out in a row.
The power is remarkable, but every time you try to attack a specific target, nine out of ten will fail.
Since the old man in the black robe said yesterday that he was going out to see the situation outside, before he came back, Yu Dongshui could only train alone.
There were a few times when he was eaten back because he was too reluctant to force himself and his mana tolerance exceeded the upper limit, but he continued after recovering as soon as possible.
He knew that the only thing that had temporarily given him refuge was a cave with an illusion and an old man who would never reveal his identity.
Not to mention how long this cave can be hidden—in fact, two days ago, someone recklessly prepared to rest against the wall and inadvertently broke into this place—and was killed instantly by the black-robed old man before he could react.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be someone from the Monster Bureau.
After this incident, the old man decided to go out and have a look, to prevent the other searchers from stumbling into this place again in order to find the disappeared two.
What's more, this old man obviously had time to guide and protect himself during the break of an important matter.
That is to say, one day, the old man will leave for that event.
Therefore, Yu Dongshui must learn more skills and magical knowledge before that day comes, so that he can face the powerful Demon Hunting Association and unknown forces alone in the future.
Then, during the period of the old man's absence, it is also necessary to explore the magic by himself, which is also a subject to be carried out in order not to rely too much on the old man.
So, the first thing is to solve the problem that the cone can't hit accurately.
Although this almost random directional attack can be used in one-to-many group battles, it has no effect on the real opponent, the Punisher.
To put it mildly, others can rely on commands to kill them directly, and the only target for the use of magic like this is the Punisher.
If you can't hit accurately, you can't pose a threat to the punisher, and there's no need to keep practicing this magic.
What exactly should be done to attack as much as you want?
First of all, it is necessary to clarify the key point of the problem, and the low hit rate is the inability to grasp the position of the wind pressure provided as the power at the end.
To put it simply, this step responsible for ejection, Yu Dongshui's ability is not enough to predict the location and direction of the wind pressure burst.
Even if he sacrifices preparation time to delay the speed of the launch, he can make small adjustments to the wind pressure to improve the accuracy a little.
But this is completely counterproductive.
It's okay to face a fixed target, but the hypothetical enemy is the strongest punisher of the human race, and it is impossible for the opponent to stand still and let himself aim and then defend.
The angle that was adjusted one second may have to be modified the next second, which makes no sense at all.
In other words, an attack like this must be done as quickly as possible, and at the same time, it must be countered in anticipation to the direction where the target may appear after the shot.
This is undoubtedly the same as having a person with eye problems hit a fast-moving target with a dart, and the difficulty factor is not ordinarily large.
The long thinking made Yu Dongshui anxious, until he remembered the previous stone cone attack.
That's right, the previous attacks were guided by magic to hit the target with accuracy and even tracking.
However, when hitting a high mana, it will be diluted by the powerful mana source, causing it to lose guidance and fall to the ground in the final part of the journey.
So what happens when the wind pressure gives the power provided by non-mana, and what happens when the mana is used to guide the blow to the target?
Previously, the mana guide was used as two roles, [Attack] and [Aim], but now these two roles are divided into two methods, including mana channeling.
The power of the attack is provided by the unnecilable force of wind pressure, and the aiming before hitting the target is guided by the magic that cannot be counteracted in the first half.
I'm a genius!
Following the principle of step-by-step, Yu Dongshui set the first target on a fixed rock not far away.
Stone cone extraction, stone cone sharpening, wind pressure preparation, magic guidance grant, and release at the same time!
The stone cone, blessed with two magical powers, flew towards its target at a speed extremely fast compared to the single magical blessing, and a deafening popping sound followed.
Beneath the dust was the shattered rocks and the large crater behind which the stone cone had been smashed by the unabated aftermath of the rock.
The power seems to have gotten high?
No, this is the result of the wind pressure and magic guidance two things together, if you are dealing with the punisher, you can only pin your hope on the wind pressure.
Yu Dongshui, who understood this, began to analyze the performance just now, and was no longer obsessed with the result.
Compared to simple mana channeling and wind pressure attacks, the combination of the two makes the cast time prolonged.
From a set of movements that can be completed in two seconds, it has been extended to a forward swing that can only be done in more than five seconds.
The main thing is to ensure the quality of the cone and the power of the wind pressure, but also to start distracting to direct the magic to the target.
This is just a fixed goal, and since you know the direction of the target beforehand, you don't even need to think about it, the subconscious mind will channel the magic there.
But if it were a moving target, the time would definitely have to be extended again.
And it's not just as simple as prolonging, the ensuing mental power consumption and the burden of consciousness may reach the limit of magic power oppression first.
By then, he may not have released a few cones of earth before he collapsed to the ground with an overloaded brain.
Hey, I thought I had exercised enough mental strength, but I really had to face such a complicated operation, but it seemed so weak and powerless.
Is this a spell of magic or a spell of brainpower?
Sure enough, do you still want to be a battle mage with your suddenly stronger body?
Yu Dongshui smiled bitterly, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, he continued to devote himself to training.
He plans to keep the cast time of a fixed target to less than three seconds, and then continue to move the target's attacks according to the speed gradient.
It was another day of persecution for himself, but he had no choice other than that.
Only by continuous training can we have the opportunity to climb to the top.
Inside the city of Rockshire.
The Monster Bureau still hasn't released the information about the reincarnation of the Great Mage and escaped, partly out of consideration for the situation, and partly in accordance with the requirements of the Demon Hunting Association.
The latest round of search is over, and the eyes that have been concentrating on searching for clues for a long time can finally take a good rest.
The team led by Junxi the Punisher returns to the out-of-town camp in Rockshire City, and is confronted by Li Xuan, the director of the Monster Bureau and the leader of the Demon Hunting Team, who is about to go out to change shifts.
"Good work. "The visitor has always had a lot of respect for this demon hunter who is about his own age.
"It's okay, if it weren't for some signs of recurrence of old injuries, I wouldn't have planned to come back. ”
Jun Xi disarmed the Salvation Armor and smiled back at Li Xuan with a face that should normally be kept secret in the Demon Hunting Association.
In the Demon Hunter Society, in order to ensure that the punisher can surprise special enemies, ordinary demon hunters are generally not allowed to know their true faces.
Although the so-called special enemies today are only the reincarnation of the Great Magician who has appeared recently, and there is nothing other than the Origin Demon Race who hides in the depths of the Demon Mountain Range after death.
But after all, it is a precept left by the ancestors, and the punishers of the past generations still silently abide by it.
But after thinking about it, the people present were all gods who knew their identities, and Li Xuan was not from the Demon Hunting Association.
In response to the admiration of this peer, Jun Xi took the initiative to show his true face and talk to Li Xuan.
After that, as long as there was no one else nearby, Jun Xi and Li Xuan would unload the burden of the punisher when they met, and chat with Li Xuan at an equal distance.
"After searching outside for a day and a night, how can it be okay?"
Li Xuan stepped forward and said, "Don't force yourself, you are the trump card outside to deal with the reincarnation of the great magician." Leave it to me. ”
Behind Li Xuan was the member of the Monster Bureau that Jun Xi saw for the first time when he came to Rockshire City, Li Zijie.
After hearing that the other party was the chief scout, he also repaid a higher degree of respect.
"You two will also come back safe and sound. Jun Xi said earnestly, tiredly walking towards the temporary camp of the Demon Hunting Association not far away.
The two naturally knew what Junxi was referring to.
The day before yesterday, two search teammates from the Monster Bureau disappeared for no reason, and even if they sent additional people to investigate that area, they found nothing.
What's even more terrifying is that while most of the forces are concentrated in that missing area, other areas are also disappearing.
This shows that the reincarnation of the Great Magician is still in the encirclement, but his strength has recovered a lot.
Every time they receive a report of disappearance, the higher-ups don't know whether to rejoice that the Great Magician has not escaped the encirclement after his reincarnation, or to mourn for his missing teammates.
"Let's go. Li Xuan beckoned Li Zijie to go outside to meet the others.
When Junxi came to the temporary camp, he was suppressed by the solemn atmosphere inside, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
He keenly observed that in addition to Xie Zhiyi, the president of the local demon hunting association, and Mao Ruifeng, the vice president of the general association, there was another person sitting here.
This person is undoubtedly also a member of the Demon Hunting Association, because Junxi is still familiar with him, but he can't remember the name.
It's probably the additional support from the general assembly.,Just report what's wrong with the communication crystal.。
But the atmosphere at the scene made Junxi vaguely feel that he would hear some terrible bad news.
"It's back. Mao Ruifeng's words may be to greet him, or may it be a reminder that the meeting can begin?
"Hello Lord Punisher, I'm Liu Xin from the Intelligence Department of the General Association of Demon Hunters of Iaul. ”
The man who joined later paid his respects to Jun-hee, and Jun-hee stood to give him a salute in return.
"Don't talk about the extra greetings, let's get down to business. Mao Ruifeng changed his usual attitude towards gentle elders and became very serious.
And Xie Zhiyi on the side also agreed.
Is something really going on?
Junxi, as the only person present who didn't know the situation, seemed a little blindsided.
"It's up to you. ”
"Okay. Liu Xin accepted the vice president's proposal, and Zhengse said to Jun Hee: "The communication crystal of the general association has been broken, and there is no possibility of repairing it. ”
The concise words smashed into Jun Xigang's head like a thunderbolt from the sky.
"Liar······ Liar, huh?"
As a punisher, people shouldn't be at a loss, and Junxi is putting on such a look now.
He naturally knew what the rupture of the communication crystal represented, and he also knew how helpless it was to not be able to repair it.
Not only is there a lack of backing for future battles, but the more serious crisis is the monitoring of anomalous magical reactions that directly affect the entire world, and the issuance of orders from a distance.
The Demon Hunter Society, which has lost its communication crystal, is like being poked blind in both eyes and has lost its ears, unable to respond to anomalous magical reactions in a timely manner.
"The Council of Elders has urgently discussed and concluded that it intends to delegate power to local demon hunting associations to make more independent judgments and attacks, and is also actively building a new intelligence network that does not rely on communication crystals. ”
After Liu Xin hesitated for a moment, he said to Jun Xi, who was already shocked in place: "At the same time, I will issue an order to be sure to reincarnate and kill the Great Magician here." There may be no chance of finding him in the future. ”
