According to the records of witches, the strength of the water ghost is only equivalent to that of a normal person, but it is very fast and agile, unlike ordinary undead creatures, and due to the characteristics of undead creatures, it has a strong resistance to knife slashing, sword stabbing, punching, etc., so when a normal person encounters a water ghost, unless it is extremely lucky, there is no hope of victory at all, even if it is a warrior with the strength of a formal knight attendant, fighting with a water ghost one-on-one, it is also a failure and death.

However, since the water spirits are very afraid of fire and positive energy, they are completely restrained, so they can be burned to death with torches as long as they are properly arranged.

Of course, this is the situation of encountering water ghosts on the ground and by the river, if they are encountered in the water, the water ghosts will be greatly improved regardless of their strength, speed, and agility, and they can also resist the flames with the help of the environment, and only the positive energy blows such as holy light can still have an effect without being weakened.

"I wasn't ready to look for it, it actually sent the 'door' by itself, but, in the informal magic, there is no magic of fire and positive energy attack! And this water ghost doesn't look like an ordinary water ghost, at least the strength is far better!" As soon as he saw the water ghost with two pale flames beating in his eyes, this bitter thought appeared in Lucian's mind.

In the study of positive energy, magicians have always been inferior to priests, and the positive energy attack magic "Holy Light Ray" in the one-ring magic is only the level of informal magic, and there are only auxiliary magic such as light magic in informal magic.

Among the elemental magic, the flame is the most violent and difficult to control, and the requirements for the mage are very high, so before the official magic, there is almost no fire magic, and the only fire magic is the "little flame of Mares", which appears to help those magic apprentices who have forgotten to bring flint and steel, so that they cannot light a fire to heat and eat hot food in the wild.

In order to deal with the water ghosts, the witch is specially collecting materials and preparing to boil an alchemy item called "Blazing Gel", when the time comes, even in the water, the "Blazing Gel" can burn for a long time, enough to deal with a few ordinary water ghosts.

And Lucien has only been learning magic for a day now, and he plans to quickly become proficient in magic, slowly collect materials, and wait for the "Blazing Glue" to be successfully boiled, and then find a chance to go to the Belém River, but now, without any preparation, Lucien has met a "mutated" water ghost.

According to what Lucien has heard in the past, this is "planning is not as fast as change!"

"Run?"

This was the thought that immediately came to Lucian's mind, but at this moment, the mutated water ghost ate the brains of the gangster, threw the corpse, and leaped so fast that it almost pounced on the cultist with an afterimage.

Although this cultist was originally a beggar, his body was not strong, and he had not been able to join the cult for a few days, and he had not been able to get the gift of the "gods" he believed in, but when the water ghost grabbed it with both hands, he didn't even have time to stretch out his hand to block, and the water ghost directly grabbed the skull and broke his neck.

What an astonishing speed! What a terrifying amount of force!

As soon as Lucien saw this scene, the idea of escaping in his mind cooled: "If you don't do something, just by escaping, you may not have escaped far, and you will be pounced on from behind by this mutated water ghost." ”

"Ahh

It was not the first time he had encountered such a dangerous situation, and with the experience of this time, Lucien actually held back his fear and fear, kept his concentration on casting spells, and calmly denied the idea of escaping.

"Water ghosts are afraid of flames and positive energy, but it's only early in the morning, and it's still a long time before dawn. ”

"And to attack with flint and steel torches, with the speed and agility of this water ghost, I can't hit it at all!"

"In the informal magic, there is only the fire spell of 'Mares's Little Flame', but it is just a five-centimeter-long ordinary flame that emerges from the fingers, and it also requires hand-to-hand combat to hit the water ghost, and I haven't started to analyze and learn this magic yet. ”

Lucien was like a bystander, indifferently watching the picture of the water ghost licking his brain and rushing towards Scar, calmly and quickly thinking of various methods, and then coldly vetoed them one by one.

This is a great magician, a must-have quality!

When Scar saw the cult beggar being grabbed from the skull, it was as if he had finally woken up from a nightmare, and the extreme fear made him seem to have something more in his body, his heart beat extremely fast, and he got rid of the influence of the mutant water ghost's natural "fear aura" in one fell swoop, regained his strength, and ran forward from the paralyzed hands and feet.

Unfortunately, the speed of the water ghost was too fast, and Scar only ran two steps before the water ghost pounced on him and grabbed his feet.

"The only magic I can do right now is: 'Runaway Ring', 'Starry Eyes', 'Mage's Hand', 'Forbidden Light', 'Acid Splash', 'Frost Ray'. ”

"The effect of the 'Runaway Ring' is still there, and it doesn't help much against water ghosts whose speed and strength are much higher than normal. ”

"Water ghosts are immune to hypnosis and have dark vision, and the 'Eye of the Stars' and 'Forbidden Light Technique' are not used. ”

Lucien was quick to analyze his strength.

The water ghost lifted Scar up, and with both hands forced, the palpitating cracking sound suddenly sounded, Scar was directly torn in half, and his heart, intestines, liver, etc., along with blood, fell to the ground one after another, and his terrible and painful screams echoed in the sewer for a long time.

"The 'Mage's Hand' combined with the 'Runaway Ring' may be useful against ordinary water ghosts, but the power of this water ghost is too great. ”

"'Acid Splash' and 'Frost Ray' are acid, ice magic, and the Water Spirit is very resistant, and I can use at most two more informal spells after a short recovery now. ”

"Wait, the casting material of 'acid sputtering' is sulfur, which is a flammable substance that is a component of black powder, and 'acid sputtering' is made by igniting sulfur and compressing nearby water elements. ”

Lucian's brain spun rapidly, and he calmly watched as the water ghost lifted the half of Scar's head in front of him, and with a strong claw of his free hand, which had thrown away the other half, he dug out Scar's skull, and his tongue reached out, licking the white, quivering brain.

At a distance of nearly twenty meters, Lucien had already felt the impact of the water ghost's "fear aura", his heart was beating fast, and his panic couldn't help but rise.

However, Lucien forcibly maintained his concentration on casting spells, and continued to parse the "acid splash" magic he had mastered, and grabbed a cloud of sulfur in his right hand:

"Can you interrupt the magic when it has just been ignited, and directly send it out with spiritual power. ”

"Direct interruption, according to the description of the witch, will be affected by the backlash of magic failure, so light that it will completely consume the mental power, so heavy that it will slightly hurt the soul, plus it is necessary to maintain stability to send the magic out of the body, the trauma to the soul will become more serious, and it is also possible to become an idiot. ”

Lucien quickly parsed the structure of the magic, trying to send the last out of the elder, skipping the middle part and connecting with the front, his head running rapidly.

Parsing, refactoring, combining, reanalyzing, reconstructing, recombining, even though this is an apprentice-level magic with a very simple structure, it is very difficult for Lucien to barely combine in a short period of time.

"It's barely working, but it's not tried, and it's probably hugely flawed. ”

Nearly twenty meters away, the water ghost had already eaten Scar's brain, threw his body to the side, and ran towards Lucian, the terrifying face full of rotting flesh, the foul smell, the terrifying feeling that made people rise, all flashed like a slow motion in front of Lucian, very clear.

Lucien continued to watch the water ghost as calm as a bystander, restraining the panic and fear in his heart, the sandy sulfur powder in his hand sliding down little by little, shimmering faintly in the fluorescent light.

At the same time, a short, rapid, and strange syllable came out of Lucian's mouth, making the surroundings seem eerie and quiet.

The speed of the water ghost was very fast, and in just one second, that is, the time when the incantation was finished, it started from a standstill and ran to a meter in front of Lucian.

At this time, Lucien had just changed the first part of the rune of "Acid Splash", and the flames appeared.

As a result, Lucien immediately forcibly interrupted the spell, and then felt as if his brain and soul had been hit hard with a hammer, and he was dizzy, his nostrils were hot, and two streams of blood flowed out quickly.

I can't continue the part where the spiritual power sends out the flames anymore!

However, the water ghost's claws were already close to Lucian's head!

Lucien understood that this was a critical moment, and seeing that he couldn't gather his spiritual power to send the flames out, he simply let go of the spiritual power control and let the flames expand on their own.

In a slow-motion calm, Lucien saw a pale blue wall of fire appear in front of him, burning the water spirits who pounced in front of him, as well as his own hands.

The pain of the flames made Lucien barely get rid of the vertigo, and manipulated the change of the "Runaway Ring" that had not yet lost its effect, causing the pale water ghost's hand to fall early, and his body was light, and he rolled sideways and backwards.

There was a stabbing sound, and Lucian's clothes were torn open a gap, very dangerously avoiding the water ghost's grasp.

Lucien rolled on the ground, approaching the river before he hurriedly stood up and looked at the water ghost.

The pale blue wall of fire had disappeared without the maintenance of Lucian's mental power, but the water ghost seemed to be covered in corpse oil and cadaveric amine, and at this time it had turned into a humanoid torch burning with pale green flames.

With its hands waving, it didn't chase Lucien anymore, instead stumbling towards the river, intending to get back into the water.

Lucien's mental power was dry at this time, and he could no longer cast magic, but he didn't flinch at all, and he picked up the dagger and rushed towards the water ghost with a spirit of adventure and desperation, if he didn't take advantage of it in this state to kill it, would he still wait for it to recover?!

The flame is worthy of the nemesis of the water ghost, it seems that even his strength is burning, and he walks very slowly, and is chased by Lucian, who picks up the dagger and stabs it in the eye socket.

Those two pale flames left too much impression on Lucian!

As soon as he was stabbed, the water ghost's arm struck, but Lucien had already prepared, and his speed was much slower, so he barely dodged and stabbed the dagger again.

One time, two times...... After five full strokes, when the water ghost walked to the edge of the road, less than fifty centimeters away from the dark river, the pale flames in its eyes were finally extinguished, and its body was burned by the flames, falling apart, and collapsing to the ground, without any movement.

Lucien was frightened and relaxed, gasping for breath, and with a dagger, he picked out the water ghost's bone head and stretched it into the dark river, so that the brain tissue would not be burned by the flames.

Soon, the flames on the corridor were extinguished, and the water ghost turned into a cloud of ashes.

But inside this mass of ash, there was a shiny thing that reflected fluorescence.
