Chapter 155: A Selfless Devotee on the Path of Magical Growth
"Go ahead."
Facing Draingne's incessant gaze, Ryan simply said two words.
But just these two words made Draven's face overjoyed, and he didn't hesitate to lift his Hex axe and jump off the high platform.
If someone is willing to save his life, then he will still coax a ball.
It's done, it's a big deal to get a new axe!
"Brother Ezreal, come down. Today I am the main force, you assist! ”
"Uh... Okay, okay. ”
Ezreal didn't quite understand why Draven was so solemn, but he still lit up his armguard, and used his accompanying arcane leap ability, appearing directly in the gladiatorial arena.
When the two jumped down, the audience above couldn't help but be stunned, and it was quiet for a while.
It wasn't until Seraphine applauded that they came over and cheered enthusiastically:
"Executioner! Fly the axe to kill the enemy! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
“......”
The cheers are like waves, one wave after another.
Draven is the head of the place, and at the same time the strongest gladiator.
Every time Draven appears, there will be a wonderful gladiatorial fight.
Moreover, they all knew the people who appeared with him. The tutor of the history department of the War College, the president of the part-time explorer's guild, is a figure.
But to everyone's surprise, the two of them stood together, looking at the high platform together, as if waiting for something.
Don't?
There was a sense of surprise in the hearts of the audience.
Draeven is a member of the Trifali Council, and Ezreal is not far behind.
The two join forces, how can it be simple to face people?
But to their disappointment, it wasn't Ryan who stood up, but Sindra beside him.
Many people didn't know Syndra, but when she stood up and floated with her feet in the air, everyone couldn't help but choke their breath.
Levitation by magic alone is a great deal of magic.
"Brother Delevingne, I feel a little impression of who this lady is, but I don't remember very much." Ezreal asked.
He feels a little wrong now, the gladiatorial fight that seemed to him to be nine out of ten, how can it seem like it is going to overturn...
"You don't even know about her?" Delevingne's face was complicated, "I don't have time to explain, anyway, let's just not die today, let's do our best." ”
"Uh... Is not dying already a victory..."
Ezreal watched as the aqua-blue orbs rose from Syndra's side, and his figure slowly floated down from the high platform, and he couldn't help but feel a powerful sense of oppression in his face.
He can only rejoice in his heart now, fortunately it is not a black magic orb.
As far as he knew, the Senator Sindra, who was at the same level as the Speaker of the Council and could shake the gods, was the Dark Orb.
Wait a minute...!?
Thinking of Sindra, Ezreal couldn't help but be shocked, remembering the cold voice that Sindra made when he was summoned by the Grand Commander in the council chamber before.
Seem... Exactly the same as the other party.
But... A dark orb, an aqua blue orb.
It shouldn't be that coincidental...
Ezreal swallowed his saliva and hurriedly assumed a fighting stance, looking at Sindra who had already arrived on the battlefield as if he were facing a great enemy.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The heavy beat of the drums sounded, and a gladiatorial battle that everyone was looking forward to began to begin.
On the high platform, the casualness in Ryan's eyes has also been retracted, and his body has straightened slightly, reminding:
"Look at it, you should be able to learn a lot today."
"Huh!?"
Seraphine suddenly came back to her senses and understood her teacher's intentions.
Today, it seems to be a teaching bureau...
"Huh!"
Draven's throwing axe kicked off the battle.
Not to be outdone, Ezreal fired an arcane shot at Sindra.
No matter how strong the enemy is, they don't have the idea of raising their hands to surrender.
Even if they know that there is a gap with the other party, the heart of battle is the key to them continuing to become stronger!
Sindra hovered in midair, rubbing the ring on her finger, and the two orbs turned into two aqua-blue runes.
"The basic 'water' plus the rune 'water front'. Water first-order rune magic - water arrows! Ryan explained lightly.
Seraphine sat down obediently and nodded earnestly.
She watched as the two runes in the air collided to form an arrow of water.
Arrows pierce the sky, shattering arcane shots directly.
Not only that, but after that, he hit the Hex's axe and smashed it straight into the air.
Finally, it fell to the ground and smashed a large hole.
"How powerful is an arrow?"
Ezreal was slightly stunned, not daring to hesitate, and ran around the gladiatorial arena.
His armguards lit up, and arcane shots rang out one after another.
Seraphine asked the same question as Ezreal on the high platform.
Ryan's face was calm, and he gave an answer that made Seraphine frustrated:
"The spell models that are taught to you are generic templates, so there is a standard amount of mana, which is a mana investment that we think is almost impossible to fail, and you have to learn and master how to use it now, and then understand them.
"When you can really comprehend the runes, it depends on your mood how much power you want, but the more magic you invest, the more difficult it is to control.
"Most of the mages in the empire now rely on talent to cast spells, and the magic is single, and the loss in the middle is huge, and a magic power can only exert half of the effect. Runic magic will be a complete magic system, applicable to all mages, one magic and one power. ”
The battle below continued, and this time Sindra still had two orbs turned into runes, one of which was "Water" and the other was known to Seraphine as "Shroud".
"Water System First-Order Rune Magic - Water Curtain." Ryan explained.
Crash!
The sound of the waterfall crashing against the surface of the water is heard.
It's just that in an instant, a curtain of water poured down from the sky, like a surging river falling to the ground.
Not to mention Ezreal and Draven's attacks, the gladiatorial arena below has risen in the water level and is almost flooded into a small lake.
Syllable!
Ryan snapped his fingers crisply, and the soft sound was like pressing the back button. The water that suddenly appeared on the ground suddenly disappeared again.
"This is the water curtain?"
The water poured just now impressed Seraphine, it was not the magic she knew at all!
Because her teacher was a water mage, she also worked hard to learn water runes and water magic.
She had also cast this spell, and although the condensation rune stumbled, it was finally completed.
But her water curtain is only a thin layer, blocking some hidden weapons at most, and it is estimated that even the arrows with greater power can't be blocked.
But with a flick of her hand, the amount of water close to a small lake gushed out in an instant, creating a curtain of water that was constantly flowing and washing, able to withstand almost all ordinary attacks.
"Teacher, how strong are you at the water curtain?" Seraphine couldn't help but ask curiously.
Lady Sindra had no talent for water magic, and relied on magic to cast spells, as she had heard the two teachers talk about.
If it was a pure water mage like her teacher, how strong would it be...
"Look at the mana input." Ryan added lightly, "If I use Syndra's magic input, I can probably drown half of Leather City." Don't forget another rune. ”
"Shrouded!"
Seraphine suddenly realized.
"Water" + "Envelope" = Water Curtain.
But this curtain of water is obviously not only effective at fending off attacks, if the mana input is large enough, it is enough to envelop everything.
"But... Since first-order magic can be so strong, what is the meaning of the existence of high-level magic? Seraphine asked.
There are thousands of simple rune combinations, which is enough for mages to fight.
"Variability and stability!"
After a pause, Ryan added:
"Today is to test the limits of spells, so you saw the scene of the sky rain curtain. Neither Syndra nor I would have done it in normal times. ”
tomato
"Why?" Seraphine asked curiously.
"There is a second-order spell called 'Water Trumpet', which adds two runes of 'Spread' and 'Downpour' compared to 'Water Curtain'."
Ryan paused, then recounted:
"In the case of the previous 'Water Curtain', if it costs 10 points of mana and 10 points of energy, then to cause the same effect, it only takes 6 points of mana and 3 points of energy to cast 'Water Tsunami'."
"The gap is so big?" Seraphine was slightly surprised.
"Each rune phantom has a limited amount of mana, and if you want to increase the limit, you either need to use rune entities or stabilize with extra mana.
"And the more runes a spell contains, the more properties the magic has, which makes it easier to manipulate and consumes less energy." Ryan patiently taught.
"And what if it's a spell that reuses runes?" Seraphine asked.
"As the use of runes increases, the level of spells cast increases, and the difficulty and magic input increase, and it makes no difference whether they are repeated or not.
"And just like the spells now, duplicate runes can still be used as a trait supplement. 2nd Order Magic - Water Entanglement: 'Water' + 'Entanglement' + 'Sluggish' + 'Sluggish'. Ryan spoke.
In the arena below, thick water tentacles climbed the ground in an attempt to envelop Draingne and Ezreal.
The two fled in disarray, trying to avoid the tentacles.
But whenever they are touched by the water tentacles, their speed and dodge will be much slower.
"Because the effect of a single 'sluggish' is insufficient?" Seraphine guessed.
"We've found that 'Sluggishness' works in two places, not only as a status that adds extra perks to spells, but also as a curse that attaches to enemies." Ryan explained.
"It's hard to move around in the water. Even after breaking free, as long as there is water on the body, it can make it difficult for the enemy to move an inch. And the two can be stacked. Seraphine quickly figured out the key.
The two below slowed down until Sindra let the magic dissipate, giving them a chance to breathe.
"Attack, defend, bind... Next one should be... Treat! ”
Seraphine muttered, looking at the two of them at the same time.
Laugh at!
More than a dozen runes flickered around Sindra's body, and the two Draven suddenly felt pain in their arms, and when they looked at their hands together...
They couldn't believe that their own blood had torn a wound in their arm on their own, and blood was gurgling outward.
"This magic is so cool, isn't it? Teacher, I want to learn! Seraphine's eyes lit up.
"Two-dimensional fourth-order spell - blood wound technique, which can manipulate the enemy's blood and wantonly destroy the inside of the enemy's body, with a total of 20 runes in the spell model."
Ryan paused and went on to add:
"Most of the runes are water, but there are also some special runes. If you study normally, you can use it in about a year. ”
"Huh!?"
Seraphine listened to it at first, but when she heard that it would take a year, she couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
It will take 1 year for the 20 rune combinations of optics, and by the time she fully comprehends it, it is estimated that she will already be old...
After clearing her frustration, she continued to look at the gladiatorial arena below.
Injuries are just a prelude, the next step is to test healing spells.
Listening to the cheers and applause of the audience, Seraphine couldn't help but feel sympathy for the two below.
They may be devotees on the path of magical growth...
