Chapter 103: Anecdotes of the Spellcaster
With the experience of dealing with those ice picks for the first time, it would not be a problem for Hiko to deal with them again. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if he is bare-handed, these ice picks can't hurt him at all.
Even dodge and dodge, if it doesn't work, just use your arm to block. As long as you have good eyesight and accurate hands, you can completely ensure your safety under this ice pick.
Of course, a large part of this is also due to the fact that the battle mage is unable to form a covering dense attack on Hiko. Although the arcane circuit of the ice attribute allowed him to delve into this aspect of supernatural power, he did a good job in this area. But limited by level, even if he has used the advantages of a low-level spellcaster to the extreme, it is difficult to achieve the effect of that kind of full-coverage strike.
This is the limit of rank, and it is also the limit of talent.
In terms of level, because he is a military-standard battle mage, and he is also a low-level battle mage, the level of supernatural spells he can access is not too high. Icicle, a two-ring spell that allows ordinary people to unleash five or six icicles with elemental power, while a caster of the Shaping Energy system like him can do ten bursts when they become proficient. This is the limit, the limit of spells.
The Battlemage has no ability to push the limits of spells, he is just a person who uses them, not a person who pioneers science. Of course, he can do three consecutive shots of ice picks, but that doesn't help. Low-level spells are low-level spells, and even if they are compact, there will be a pause in between. This is nothing compared to a high-level Dense Strike spell.
You must know that the fourth-level pure arcane spell arcane barrage generally only has about fifty shots, but when this spell is released, it will require a preliminary judgment of the wind direction and striking surface, and there is a strict limit on the barrage spacing. Therefore, the effect it produces and the ice pick released by the battle mage are not of the same level at all.
All in all, these small tactics of the battle mage pose no threat to Hiko at all. He dodged all the icicles, slammed them down, retrieved his weapon, and charged towards the battlemage.
The battle mage, who had already tried the feeling of being suppressed in melee combat, didn't want to let Hikochong get close anyway. But he had already cast a spell for a while, but there was no way for him to suppress his speed with the same means.
The casting of the same spell needs to be spaced apart. For those of the spell system, it's a time to reconnect the elements and build bridges. And for those in the plastic energy system, this is the gap between the arcane circuits to buffer energy. Non-stop bombing is simply impossible, both in terms of energy and channels.
And looking at Hiko, who was getting closer and closer, the battle mage gritted his teeth, and could only use the means he had not used before.
He squatted down and pressed his hands against the snowy ground. Then, the white, tattoo-like stripes on his body began to glow estrangely as if they were breathing. This made his whole person seem strange and had a sense of inhumanity.
And as the light on those lines became more and more dazzling, the battle mage's eyes gradually changed to milky white almond shapes. This inhuman feeling became more and more intense.
Such a strange situation made Yan feel a bad feeling in his heart, he had never heard of such a strange change in the mage of the plastic energy department. However, he did not stop his pace because of this, but made his speed faster.
And looking at Hiko, who was getting faster and faster, the battle mage immediately twitched his cheeks, as if he was enduring some pain, and whispered to the ground in front of him.
“Ar... Luka。 ”
It is a universal magic language developed from the ancient elven language, which can communicate with the aetheric elements that are ubiquitous in the world, and use their power to manipulate and evolve the power of natural elements such as earth, water, wind, fire, etc. Of course, it is not easy to reach this level, at least one foot has to step into the realm of intermediate spellcasters.
There is a not-so-clear division of casters. Roughly speaking, it is the low-level, intermediate, high-level, and later legendary realms. And how do you divide these levels of casters? There are completely different versions of the casters within them.
The most traditional arcane spell and transmog psychic systems believe that this should be judged by the caster's knowledge and mental strength. A caster who can memorize different levels of magic spells, understand their knowledge of the aether structure, and have sufficient mental power to drive the caster of this level should belong to this level of mage.
The spells of this world are divided according to concentric rings, ten layers of concentric rings, representing ten levels of spells, in addition to the legendary spells that represent the core, every time you master three rings, you can step up to the next level, simple and trouble-free.
And for the people of the Combat Plastic Energy Department and the Natural Alchemy Department, this lazy and troublesome method is really incompatible.
Combat Shaping people cast spells more by the supply of arcane circuits in the body, rather than the support of the aether elements from the outside world. Although they also need to absorb aether elements from the outside world to replenish their energy reserves, in the process of release, they are fundamentally different from the spell guys.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the Plastic Energy Department does not recognize this classification method of the spell system, and they recognize their own one. It is to make a comprehensive judgment based on the number, fullness, and attributes of the arcane rune circuits in the body. This is a very complicated way, and even many times even people who can make plastic can get confused.
But it's not up to some little people to say it. The leaders of the caster realm are biting at the problem, and none of them have any other way.
Of course, there is also the natural alchemy system that has such a problem. Natural alchemy is a somewhat special spellcaster realm. They are different from the other three factions, and it is difficult to show their combat effectiveness intuitively. But you can't deny how powerful they are.
The natural alchemy system is actually made up of two different types of spellcasters. One is the nature system, and the druids who passed down from the elves are their origin, and there are even a large number of spellcasters who are proficient in the nature system who characterize themselves as a druid.
This ancient spellcasting profession has a very different way of practice, and many times, a natural caster will walk naked into the forest or wilderness and find the way of nature that they advertise.
This behavior may seem a bit insane. However, it does not affect the deterrent effect of the natural caster at all. Because they have plenty of strength to use as their own confidence.
Even a spellcaster who has just been involved in the way of nature can learn to change the spells of beasts with a little talent, and the more powerful ones can evolve into powerful monsters and even dragons. And that's just part of the natural system, they can also manipulate the flora and fauna of nature.
With a little time, a natural spellcaster can drive hundreds of beasts to storm a city for themselves, and some can even do what the ancient druids could, herding the Treants and letting these giant supernatural beings fight for themselves.
Nature-based spellcasters can do this, and alchemy is no exception. It's just that their methods are more secretive and more special.
Most of the members of the alchemy casters are alchemists, a profession that has long been claimed to be able to convert stones into gold. Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this, and a master-level alchemist can indeed do this easily. It's just that the consumption in this refining process definitely exceeds the value of gold.
Compared to all the other spellcaster types, alchemists lack enough proof of combat ability. Their performance on the battlefield is generally weak, and they are known as the weakest chickens among spellcasters. However, on their own turf, these guys are the most difficult type to deal with.
Alchemy Circle, a supernatural power that no one wants to try. This positional spell with a huge range can distort all the aether elements in the area to a certain extent, causing the entire area to undergo the changes that the circle maker needs. There is no doubt that this change can be fatal. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is even absolutely deadly.
Ever since a double-digit legendary professional died on the alchemy tower of the Great Alchemist, no one has wanted to do such a self-defeating thing. From here alone, you can see the strength of the alchemist. And the alchemist's means are not limited to this.
They are the richest people in the world and the richest among spellcasters. They can't fight head-on, but they can use their knowledge and wealth to create the most powerful guardians.
Arcane golems are what every alchemist learns to make. With the alchemy circle as its core and materials such as earth, rock, and even metal, this puppet is an incomparably powerful creation. The larger the puppet and the more precious the materials used, the more powerful it becomes. An alchemist once created a twenty-meter-tall puppet out of magic steel, and this puppet's record was to kill a pair of red dragon brothers who were doing evil everywhere without harming himself.
This level of power is already an existence in the realm of legends. But what's interesting is that the most people who make it can cast a three-ring spell to play with.
In the beginning, the notorious Spell Mage Guild Red Robe Mage Guild also wanted to use a little tough means to deal with this weak chicken who could only release three-ring spells. But after this alchemist made a second demonic steel golem in one go, they didn't dare to mention such a thing again.
By the way, this alchemist was the reformer of the later alchemy puppet, the famous great alchemist Howard Leonardo da Vinci. The only man who created an alloy golem that was 100 meters tall and possessed intelligence, known as the god of alchemy.
