Chapter 249: Shadow Sorcery
This battle wizard's notebook, which was almost as thick as the Encyclopedia of Herbs, now has only seventeen pages left, and the seventeen pages are incoherent, making it difficult to read because there is no complete context. It is not difficult to see from the broken parts of the pages that someone deliberately tore off the pages, and the reason may be related to the complex magical runes composed of Turing roots hidden on the pages.
The moment he opened the wizard's notebook, the first thing Leo noticed was not what was written on the page, but the deliberately hidden psionic fluctuations emanating from each page.
The magic runes on the pages that Leo could see through his vision, not counting the stone ball used to imprison the True Eye, the magic runes carved on the pages in his hand in a special way should be the most complex of the Turing roots he had ever seen, consisting of fifty-seven different Turing roots. And these fifty-seven Turing roots are not all, because of the combination, these Turing roots are constantly recombined, and new Turing roots have evolved, so in the end, the Turing roots contained in this magic rune are probably an extremely large number.
Although Leo did not understand the purpose of these magical runes, he was sure that each page of the book was a complete powerful witchcraft, and judging by the damage to the notes, the method of using this magic should be torn off and activated in some way.
It can be seen that this notebook is not like the wizard's notebook he saw before, it is just a record of wizard's knowledge, and this wizard's notebook is more likely to be a magic book whose production method has long since disappeared.
The earliest mention of a spellbook is the wizard's notes of the wizards of the wilderness, in which it mentions a wizard's curiosity that wizards used before the Tower. It's just that the Wizard of the Wilderness doesn't mention the content of this wizard's curiosity in detail, but only hastily mentions that the method of making the magic book has long been lost in the tower.
Later, Leo saw the information about the magic books again, in the miscellaneous books purchased by the town on the lake, and in one of the miscellaneous books, the first generation of the first chief wizard of the founder of the Wizarding Society. In the book, several wizarding curiosities most often used by the First Chief are recorded, and among them is the dark magic book he made himself, and some of the functions of the magic book are also mentioned.
The biggest function of the magic book is not to record the knowledge of wizards, but to store the most commonly used and powerful witchcraft of wizards, through the special power of the magic book, wizards can consume any spell casting materials, without any pre-preparation, such as chanting, printing and other spell casting methods, under the premise of using these extremely high level of powerful witchcraft.
According to records, the First Chief at the time used his dark magic book to cast a powerful spell called the Dark Canopy in an instant, sending tens of thousands of dream spirits into a place called the Dark Realm in the blink of an eye, killing each other until all of them died.
It is not difficult to see that the wizard's notebook in Leo's hand now should be a magic book, but it is a pity that the people who got this book before did not know the correct use of this wizard's strange object, but they found a one-time usage and completely destroyed this magic book.
From this point of view, the witches and wizards of the witch group may be very different, the so-called witchcraft they perform is probably their own natural ability, and they do not need to learn a lot of wizard knowledge and practice all kinds of witchcraft like wizards to master the ability to cast spells, otherwise, Su will never give him such a precious magic book so easily, perhaps in Su's opinion, this is just a note that records the wizard's combat skills.
The only seventeen pages of mysterious sorcery left in this magic book cannot be used by Leo for the time being, and perhaps for a long time to come, after all, it is very difficult to decipher the magic runes on it, even if he has an extraordinary brain.
It might have been easier for Leo to find out how to make a magic book from this broken notebook than to crack the seventeen pages of magic runes.
However, the original intention of obtaining this magic book in the first place, the knowledge of battle wizards recorded on those seventeen pages may be something that Leo can use now.
Obviously, the wizard who made the spellbook and the person who recorded the knowledge of the battle wizard were not the same person, and although the seventeen pages were very obscure and difficult to read because they had no context, Leo was still able to analyze something useful from these obscure words.
For example, a sorcery technique known as the Hyper Magic Technique and an example of a battle wizard.
This super magic technique is derived from the rune witchcraft of the tower wizard, and the magic runes and magic circles that Leo has mastered are classified as Dao rune witchcraft, and this super magic technique is a method of using rune witchcraft to give wizards similar witch-like natural abilities. Through this super-magic technique, the wizard can perform some pre-prepared witchcraft anytime and anywhere, some of which are similar to the functions of magic books, except that this method is tattooed on the body and exists permanently.
It is not clear what the name of this super-magic technique is Leo, as the name is supposed to be written on another page that has been destroyed, but judging by the techniques used, this super-magic technique should be suitable for being called a magic tattoo.
This kind of magic tattoo requires a very special tattoo potion, but fortunately, although the materials needed for the potion, although precious, are still available, most of the herbs have been artificially cultivated, and a few rare mineral materials can be bought with a little money.
It's a pity that the magic tattoo production method that has been recorded now seems to be a low-level magic tattoo, not only the witchcraft used for magic tattoos can only choose those low-level witchcraft, and even the number is limited, the current magic tattoo map can only accommodate three kinds of witchcraft, and a wizard can only tattoo two such magic tattoos.
While there was a lack of any ill effect on magical tattoos that exceeded the limits, Leo's knowledge of witchcraft and psionic powers meant that any use of this supernatural power beyond its limits would be absolutely catastrophic.
However, for any wizard, the current world of Velen has six kinds of witchcraft that can be cast at any time like natural abilities, and there is no need to find a way to add more magic tattoos.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is the choice of the six types of witchcraft, because once the magic tattoo is engraved on the body, if you want to modify it, I am afraid it will not be as simple as when the tattoo was printed.
On the page, there is only one way to remove the magic tattoo, and that is the Styx water, and Leo has no idea what the Styx water is, but literally translates it to the river of death.
An example of a battle wizard recorded in the note details the fighting style of the battle wizard and the six types of witchcraft he used for his magic tattoos, all of which Leo knew about.
The six types of sorcery, such as the Ray of Weakness, the Silent Phantom, the Trance Technique, the Ghost Hand, the Mirror Technique, and the Exhaustion of Energy, are the magic tattoo sorcery chosen by the battle wizard, and these six sorcery are all low-level sorcery, and according to the current level of wizards, as long as it is a normal wizard, these six sorcery are understood.
And it was with these six low-level sorcery that this battle wizard was able to create an illusory realm around his body, causing all those who intruded into it to gradually weaken in the illusory world and eventually die.
In the recorded instance, the battle wizard used these six inferior sorcery to deal with a monster called Valyeta, and consumed the monster alive in the realm of illusion.
Leo happened to read about Valyeta in a book called Veron Folklore, and if everything in that book was true, the monster named Valleta definitely had the power of a fourth- or fifth-level psyker, and even if he wanted to kill such a monster now, it would take a lot of effort to kill such a monster now. It can be seen that the effect of this magical tattoo is definitely not only the effect of six low-level witchcraft, but also hides a mystery that Leo has not discovered for the time being.
Leo didn't plan to put together his magic tattoo the way the battle wizard did, he had his own considerations, and he also felt that the magic tattoo seemed to have a chance to improve now, so he needed some research before he could decide what the magic tattoo would eventually be engraved on his body.
It's just that, because of the record of the battle process of this example, Leo also learned about the fighting method of the tower battle wizard in the past, in short, the wizard is to stay in a safe place, use witchcraft to control, weaken and kill the enemy, only in the last resort, the wizard will use those witchcraft with obvious lethality, but will reveal the location, and face the enemy head-on.
Although Leo does not agree with this way of fighting, he also has to admit that this way of fighting is the most effective and safest way, even if he encounters a strong enemy, he can calmly retreat. Unlike him, although he will use some assassination methods to solve the enemy at the beginning, once he confronts the enemy head-on, he will rush to the front and fight in close combat, if he encounters a strong enemy that he cannot resist, he will most likely not even have a chance to escape.
"It seems that there is something wrong with the way I fight. Leo carefully analyzed his fighting style and felt that it was necessary to improve it and reformulate a new combat routine according to his ability.
Leo has already made a decision, and in the time since then, he has been trying to improve his fighting style, and those Black Forest monsters and clans who are trying to attack those who have fled are the best targets he uses to test his improved fighting methods.
After each battle, he was able to find a lot of things that needed to be improved, and he also found that many of the witchcraft he mastered was very powerful, but it was not suitable for his own fighting style, and some were mediocre, but they could cooperate perfectly with his fighting style.
And as he continued to improve his fighting style and find his own sorcery, he found that his fighting style became more and more like that of the Dark Star Shadow Blade.
The Dark Star People are a very unique alien race in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, and their home planet was destroyed by an adult Star Swallower Whale when the Earth civilization was still a primitive tribe, leaving less than 500,000 people, and these 500,000 people constitute the most famous wandering race in the universe, the Dark Star People Tribe.
Although the home planet of the Dark Star was destroyed and the race was almost wiped out, this does not mean that the power of the Dark Star is very weak, in fact, when the Earth Federation entered the universe, two of the Dark Star people with a population of just over one million have evolved to the level of omega-level higher creatures, and everyone in the whole race has the power of two levels or more psionic energy, and they are one of the few psionic races in the universe.
Just like several other psionic races, the Darkstar people are also the focus of research in various alien civilizations, especially the various psionic combat units under them, and among these psionic combat units, the shadow blades composed of all level 5 psionic beings are the most eye-catching.
The Shadow Blades are the special operations forces of the Dark Stars, and their mission is the same as that of Leo, which is to infiltrate enemy military bases or large rear areas to sabotage and assassinate in the event of war. It's just that the difference between the two is that one simply uses technological weapons to fight, while the other relies on one's own psionic energy.
The most famous psionic energy of the Shadow Blade is known as the Shadow Walking and the Shadow Realm, the Shadow Walk, as the name suggests, is able to move silently between the shadows of any object, and can even attack the target through the shadow itself, while the Shadow Realm is more powerful, directly sending the target's area into a shadow subspace, using the power of the subspace itself to destroy the target and everything around it.
Among the witchcraft, there are witchcraft similar to the Shadow Walking and Shadow Realm, but the power and effect are much weaker, and they are all high-level witchcraft, and Leo only knows the name and effect, but does not know the method of use.
However, Leo was able to imitate the virtual reality of the monsters and clans of the Black Forest through some of the low-level sorcery he had mastered now, and with the power of nightmares, he formed his own shadow sorcery, and was able to use shadows like the Dark Star to kill targets silently at a long distance. Because this kind of shadow sorcery was created by Leo during this time, many places are imperfect, and there are loopholes, such as the consumption of psionic energy and nightmare power is much more than using similar sorcery alone, but he believes that once he perfects his shadow sorcery, then his strength is definitely not weaker than the shadow blade of the dark star.
Now, Leo has become more and more fond of his new way of fighting, just now he used the shadow dagger improved from the mage's hand and the shadow thorn two kinds of sorcery, directly solved the dozen or so Black Forest monsters hiding in the shadows more than two hundred meters away.
This is also one of the reasons why he is now more and more accustomed to the new way of fighting, the shadow sorcery infused with the power of nightmares can ignore the subspace state of the Black Forest monsters between the virtual and the real, and kill those monsters like normal assassination, the only flaw is that the Black Forest monsters in that special state will not leave any high-energy substances, but the corpses will disappear directly.
