Chapter 32: Mental Power

Magic is the soul of a professional.

But it's not enough to just have enough magic power, if a professional wants to crush his peers, or even fight beyond the ranks, then he needs a good magic weapon and several powerful combat skills.

The price of combat skills is relatively expensive, probably several times that of magic weapons.

Ordinary professionals can only buy one magic weapon, but the combat skills are prohibitive.

Oak Nelson is not one of them.

His family has a complete heritage, and there are dozens of combat skills passed down from the clan, and most of them are offensive combat skills that can enhance the overall attack power.

'Wind Acceleration' is one of the family skills.

This is also the only buff-type combat skill in the other clan, it can increase the movement speed by 5 times for a short time, and if it is combined with other offensive combat skills, the idle can only be killed in seconds.

Originally, Oak Nelson wasn't going to use it.

Because he knew that the magic power of a level 3 professional could only last for a maximum of an hour under this kind of high-intensity confrontation, and what could be solved in an hour naturally did not need to expose a combat skill to solve.

In the realm of professionals, combat skills are the most precious existence.

Each skill belongs to the hole card of the professional, and the more exposed it is, the easier it is to be targeted, so the average professional will not expose his hole cards unless he has to do so in battle.

It's not okay not to expose it now.

Oak Nelson didn't know exactly when Vega's magic ran out, and if he fought again until his magic ran out and suddenly took a sip of milk, then the battle probably wouldn't end overnight.

So let's do it quickly.

In order not to harm Vega, Oak Nelson chose the only buff-type skill, which appeared in front of Vega before he could react, and the sword flew into the air.

Bang.

Iron intersects.

Vega had no choice but to use the short knife to block it, so the short knife was directly knocked out by the long sword under the great force, and he no longer had any weapons in his hand.

The cross-sword was retracted at the same time.

Oak Nelson switched his sword to a fist and struck Vega in 30% of his head.

If this blow is solid, with Oak Nelson's control of the magic power, there is no need to worry about any huge damage, but being knocked out and thrown out must be a sure thing.

Good things don't go out, and bad things go thousands of miles.

It's conceivable that if he messes up here, the headlines of Kareni tomorrow may be: a certain Imperial officer picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and Oak Nelson, a family of tomb guards, is old and strong, draws his sword in anger, and throws it backhand in three moves.

This trick must be guarded against.

Vega looked determined, focusing all his attention on Oak Nelson's quick punch, which he tried to capture the trajectory of the punch.

Captured.

But too fast.

Vega sadly found that even if he was able to capture Oak Nelson, who was blessed with a speed buff by his combat skills, he didn't have time to make a strategy to deal with it, and sure enough, the huge gap in level and combat skills was not something that could be made up by magic.

Even so......

He really wanted to block it.

It was also at this critical moment that due to Vega's excessive concentration, the mysterious unknown power in his brain suddenly burst out with the magic power in his body, and suddenly formed a translucent shield composed of magic power one meter in front of him.

Bang.

The small shield was right in the way of Oak Nelson's stunned punch.

Click.

The translucent and transparent shield cracked a gap, but it was not broken, and this translucent shield absorbed a trace of magic power in Vega's body after a second and quickly restored, this trace of magic power was not even a dime.

"It's ......"

"Fa, Mage's Shield?!"

Oak Nelson, who was over half a hundred years old, turned pale the moment he saw the translucent shield.

As long as you are a professional, you will not know what the translucent shield represents, which is the proof of the magician's strength and identity, and it is also the magician's innate means of defense.

As everyone knows.

Professions have mana defense.

In addition to the magic defense of the professional, the mage also has an additional layer of mage shield defense, and in battle, this layer of defense can appear with just one thought, which directly leads to the fact that the professional cannot attack the mage in close quarters.

No matter how fast your combat skills are, they can't be faster than a single thought.

And this is only the first line of defense for mages, the ghost knows how many defensive spells have been added to themselves behind this layer of defense, and the professional against the mage is not up to the five major levels to take what to knock out other people's turtle shells, and once the mage has mastered the flying technique, then even if he is countless steps high, he can directly not fight.

Compared to the combat skills that are clear to the professionals, the magic of the magicians is much more weird.

There are those who can bring themselves back from the dead, those who summon prehistoric beasts, those who resurrect armies, and those who freeze the earth...... The list goes on and on. If the professional is the Empire's precious strategic weapon, then the mage is the real nuclear weapon.

Although there doesn't seem to be much difference between professionals and magicians who drive magic to attack, magicians have more than professionals who have something called psychic power.

It is also this thing called spiritual power that greatly increases the strength of magic power, and at the same time allows magic power to break through the body and attack enemies in the air, which professionals cannot do in any way.

All in all.

The magic power of the professional cannot break through the body, and can only be infused into the weapon for melee attacks at most, while the mage can make the magic power break through the body through mental power to achieve the effect of air attack.

Every mage is a powerful professional, but every professional is not a mage.

Strictly speaking, every professional has the basic conditions for advancing to mage, but ninety-nine percent of the professionals are stuck in the level of not being able to awaken their spiritual power.

In the eyes of ordinary people, professionals are synonymous with strength.

In the eyes of professionals, mages who have awakened their spiritual power are truly powerful existences.

Ninety percent of the mages now serve the army, and the mages have a pivotal position in the army, and generally only the regimental level troops will have a mage, and this mage is also the highest-ranking existence in addition to the regimental commander and the regimental chief of staff.

Vega is able to unleash the Mage's Shield.

That is, he is a magician.

Although Oak Nelson didn't know what rank this mage was, as long as he was a magician, he was undoubtedly the guest of honor of all forces during the period when the nobility was in power or the current army was dominant, and they were synonymous with strength and dignity.

In the last century.

Magicians enjoy the same status as nobles.

Therefore, after knowing that Vega was a magician, Oak Nelson no longer considered fighting, but stepped aside and made a gesture of please, and the magician's relatives were naturally eligible to be buried in the Western Suburbs Cemetery.

This is the second ancestral precept that has been laid down since the Nelson family was founded.
