Chapter Forty-Six: The Surprise Little Ones
At Reochs Academy, perhaps only the night is the quietest, except for the sound of the breeze swaying the branches.
Occasionally, you can catch a few whining birdsongs, and following the source of the sound, you may be able to see a few sleepless owls perched on tree trunks, scanning the academy with their dark eyes, as if they were competent guards, vigilantly watching for all the anomalies of the academy.
Yet, as always, tonight was peaceful...... Of course, this refers only to the rest of the Academy, not to the room in the deepest part of the Academy's basement...... While all the other students were in the midst of sweet dreams, three of the little ones were in trouble, with extreme headaches...... Thanks to Professor Hodd's deliberate arrangement, the three little ones encountered the most headache and weakness of their opponents ever.
Take Jiang Zhe as an example, what he is facing at the moment is the extremely rare water-type magical beast Phantom Water Monster in this world, this is a magical beast that only exists in Lake Bibines, and it is almost the nightmare of most fire-based magicians.
Lake Bibeneth is located in the southern part of the Empire, not far from Alan's hometown, which is the most prosperous commercial city in the Empire, Operiels, but the merchants of Operiels did not dare to approach that place, because on the outskirts of Lake Bibeneth, there is a very dense forest, which is an unexplored primeval forest, which contains many terrifying beasts, and it is rumored that some elves are even inhabited by it.
The elves are not a kind race towards humans, they are proud, arrogant, and hateful to humans...... Ahem, although the humans deceived them during the Golden Age, they also took advantage of the defeat of the dwarves and orcs to occupy the richest eastern continent.
Of course, this is just a rumor, and at least no one has actually proved that there are elves living here.
In addition to the elves, the most terrifying creatures in Lake Bibenness are the phantom water monsters in the lake.
Speaking of this phantom water monster, the magicians have not been able to pinpoint it, because the magicians still have not figured out what kind of creature this phantom water monster is.
Is it an animal or a plant, or can it just be called a living thing in a very general way?
But what kind of creature is it? aquatic or terrestrial, or amphibian?
Don't think these doubts are ridiculous, because they are well-founded.
Phantom water monsters are indeed very special strange creatures, their bodies do not have a fixed form, the light blue body is like liquid water, and the shape of the body changes every moment.
In this regard, there is a creature in the Warcraft Illustrated Book that resembles it, and that is the alchemy creature slime monster created by alchemists, a wonderful creature that cannot possess intelligence, but simply devours metal, especially gold dust, which is their favorite.
But unlike the slime monsters, the Phantom Monsters are creatures with lower intelligence, they love humid environments and hate sunlight, and in that regard, you seem to think of them as aquatic creatures.
But what is incredible is that these phantom water monsters, which seem to be classified as aquatic creatures, can survive without water...... Of course, you must not say here that other amphibians can also do it, because the phantom water monster I am talking about has the ability to directly absorb water vapor from the atmosphere to replenish itself, and other creatures can do it?
Of course, if that's all there is to it, I don't think most fire mages are afraid of this creature, and the reason why those mages are afraid of Phantom Monsters is because Phantom Monsters also have the wonderful ability to float in the air.
Floating, as the name suggests, is that the Phantom Water Monster can float in the air at any time out of the water, or even move at will, what an incredible thing!
In the beginning, the mage was amazed by the creature because it violated the basic laws of the world, which only birds and ghosts could do in the mage's understanding, but as research continued to show, this creature did not completely violate the basic laws of the world.
The magician discovered that the Phantom Water Monster has the ability to absorb and collect water vapor, it can collect the water in the atmosphere and construct a space full of water elements, of course, this is not to turn a place into a lake or anything, it is just to make the water in the atmosphere dense, but it is enough for the Phantom Water Monster to travel through this small area.
Because of this, due to the large amount of water elements in the nearby atmosphere being gathered, the relative reduction of fire elements leads to the fact that when fire mages encounter phantom water monsters, they will appear very passive and even powerless to resist.
But this is only a disadvantage, and the other point, as mentioned earlier, the Phantom Water Monster has the ability to absorb water directly from the atmosphere to replenish itself, which further leads to the powerlessness of the fire mage in the face of this wonderful creature.
We all know that although the restraint of water and flame is judged according to the energy of both sides, but in the final analysis, the most basic law of water restraint is not wrong, some people may think that two equal energy of water and flame collide, the final outcome is just mutual annihilation, but don't forget, the flame is gone, but the water does not disappear, it only absorbs the heat of the flame after changing a form.
This is different from the energy relativity theory of the mage's contest, at least in terms of the surname.
And to defeat the Phantom Water Monster, ordinary flames are far from enough.
Because the Phantom Water Monster has the ability to split and recover on par with the slime monster, in the final analysis, according to the research of magicians, the Phantom Water Monster is actually a parasitic creature, its real body may only be the size of a thumb, and the material outside is originally a shell formed by condensing water vapor, so to defeat the Phantom Water Monster, the only way to kill it with one blow is to directly annihilate the similar core existence, and in this regard, ordinary flames cannot reach this level...... "Bang Bang!"
"Boom!"
Jiang Zhe couldn't remember how many fireballs the strange creature on the other side had resisted, and those fireballs that even Allen was screaming at the ground were so powerless in front of this strange creature, at most they hissed, and they didn't even spark.
Flame Flash seems to be able to do a little damage to that guy, but the problem is that the guy is too fast, too agile, and even more incredible, even more incredible, it can float in the air like a ghost, even though it is an entity-like existence...... Frowning at the roaring Phantom Water Monster, Jiang Zhe raised his hand, only to hear a "snap", and a burst of fiery red smoke suddenly exploded around the Phantom Water Monster's body.
"Well done!" said Abel, who was in the Dean's office of Reox, seeing this scene from the crystal ball, with surprise and approval, "What a beautiful job, Hodd! Your apprentice is a genius...... It has only been more than two months of learning Flame Flash to reach this level of proficiency, and I have never seen such a smart child...... And this little guy is very sensitive to the perception of enemies, and although the speed of the Phantom Water Monster is fast, he still caught it...... It's a pity that he hasn't mastered the [Flash] magic yet, and every time he wastes time by dodging Phantom Monster attacks......"
"Hmph," looking at Jiang Zhe, who was sweating profusely in the crystal ball, Professor Huo De's eyes were full of pride and relief, but he said insincerely, "Although the speed of capturing the opponent is very fast, the timing of the shot and the degree of flames ...... This little ghost is still far off!"
"You're a man!" Glancing blankly at Professor Hodd, Abel said jokingly, "Is this what you mean......?
Professor Huo De realized that his apprentice could not hear his words, shook his head with a wry smile, and said sincerely, "What I said is not wrong, this little ghost is indeed far away, but ......" He paused, sighed slightly, looked deeply at the crystal ball, and said with a little regret and relief, "But this is only temporary, four years...... No, with his outstanding talent, maybe in just three years, three years he can really master Flame Flash, and he will go further than I am, beyond my imagination...... I have this hunch......"
"...... Hod" seemed to see the deep loss in Professor Hod's eyes, Abel muttered, and said with a smile as he diverted the subject, But speaking of which, your mentor is too incompetent, this kid can obviously master the difficult technique magic of flame flash, but you don't teach him to use it to cooperate with the flash of this magic, which makes him so embarrassed now, don't you see, there are many times, he obviously has the opportunity to attack, but he has to dodge the attack of the phantom water monster, if he can master the flash magic, even if he can't defeat this monster, it will be much better than the current situation, right?"
"You don't know," Professor Hodd shook his head and explained with a wry smile, listening to Abel's burial, "this kid's talent is the most terrifying I've ever seen, although he can't enter meditation, but he can recover his magic and physical strength every moment, even in battle, can you imagine what it will be like to be a powerful magician in the future?
"Actually...... How could such a thing?" Abel covered her mouth in surprise.
"But this is not what I want," ...... looking at Jiang Zhe in the crystal ball, Professor Huo De said in a deep voice, "A magician who abuses magic will never be able to understand the mystery of magic for the rest of his life, and I don't want this child to become like that...... The reason why I didn't teach him flashing was because I was afraid that he wouldn't practice Flame Flash diligently after learning to flash, I was afraid that he would be proud, and I was afraid that he didn't think it was necessary to practice Flame Flash anymore, because after learning to flash, it was difficult for someone to attack him with magic, but he could attack others with Flame Flash, plus his innate outstanding talent, I don't think there would be anyone at the same level who would be his opponent...... If that's the case, it'll be more troublesome in the future......"
"Huo De is right," looking at Jiang Zhe in the crystal ball with a smile, the old dean said earnestly, "For magicians, failure is not terrible, terrible is a long-term victory, which will seriously affect the magician's pursuit of a higher level, which is not only a regret for himself, but also a regret for the magic world...... As far as I say, this little guy is still young, while his dedication to victory is not so strong, hone and hone him more, let him suffer more setbacks, the more talented the child, the more early it is to let them understand the taste of failure, a thousand failures in exchange for success, will make the children work harder to pursue a higher level, but if a thousand successes usher in a failure, the arrogant heart will be seriously frustrated, originally there may be a chance to become a great magician, but now, I am afraid that a lifetime can only stay at this stage...... However, Hodd, as a mentor, you have to master this degree, and don't hit him too much, in my opinion, this kid is very outstanding!"
"Yes, Dean, but don't worry, Dean, although this little ghost can't be seen on the outside, he is very tough and arrogant on the inside, and I have never said a word of praise for him since I first taught him......"
"Hehe," the old dean smiled and nodded, "Occasionally, I still praise a few words to inspire the children's positive surnames......
"It's not ......," Professor Huo De smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart, that little ghost is not an ordinary child, and the usual praise has no effect on him at all.
Just as Professor Hodd smiled bitterly, Abel said in surprise, "Ah, the little one's magic power has weakened......"
Professor Hodd subconsciously glanced at the crystal ball, and after frowning and glancing at it a few times, he said with relief, "Don't worry, I said that the magic power of this little ghost rarely reaches the level of exhaustion, and the power of the flame flash is weakened, because of the ability of the phantom water monster, the surrounding water elements are too dense, and this kid has not learned auxiliary magic, which is also one of his weaknesses......"
However, as soon as the words fell, Professor Hodd was stunned.
The surrounding water vapor is too dense, causing the fire element to be squeezed out, which Jiang Zhe also understands from his increasingly powerful fireball, but just like Professor Hodd said, like Lavia, it can temporarily change the distribution of the surrounding elements Fire auxiliary magic, Jiang Zhe has not learned any of them.
He didn't think it was necessary, but now ...... Distressed and bitterly smiled, Jiang Zhe kept thinking about how to deal with it, and finally, he thought of it.
I saw that in Professor Huo De's surprised eyes, Jiang Zhe raised his hand and waved, and suddenly more than a dozen crimson whirlpools appeared around him, and along with Abel's exclamation, there were more than a dozen snorting and steaming fireballs, but these fireballs, Jiang Zhe did not use them to attack the Phantom Water Monster, but distributed them around, but exploded...... Cast, detonate...... Cast it again, detonate it again...... At the same time that Abel was inexplicable, the old dean took off the pipe in his mouth, nodded approvingly and said, "Clever!"
"Yes, Dean, this little imp always surprises and surprises me...... Professor Hodd nodded approvingly.
As the fireballs in the field continued to explode, the flames that burst out gradually spread throughout the entire battle area, and the confusion in Abel's eyes was finally relieved.
In Jiang Zhe's words, it is to treat others in the way of others!
Since the Phantom Water Monster can absorb the water vapor in the atmosphere and create a space full of water elements to contain itself, then it is enough to create a space full of fire elements to contain it.
Jiang Zhe has never been afraid!
Jiang Zhe's method is accurate, it can be said that the effect is immediate, with the re-densification of the fire element in this area, the Phantom Water Monster's ability to act has been greatly limited, after all, it also has low-level intelligence, since it knows how to dodge Jiang Zhe's fireball, it will definitely not stupidly crash into that circle of burning flames...... What was originally a one-sided battle has now suddenly turned into a tug-of-war.
"It's so unexpected," the old dean shook his head with a smile and looked at Professor Hodd and said, "If this continues, as long as that little guy's magic power is not consumed, it will be difficult for the Phantom Water Monster to win......"
"Hehe," Professor Hodd nodded awkwardly and said in a sneer, "It's this little ghost with a strong ability to recover mana that is qualified to use this kind of ...... What a stupid way!"
"Giggles, I think it's a good idea, as a magic apprentice, if you can defeat ...... Ah no, it's to kill opponents, especially fire mage natural enemies like Phantom Water Monsters, this kid is amazing!"
"Is it a good way?" Professor Hodd muttered, he had already thought about how to educate this little ghost in the future, and then told him what the so-called White Flame was...... That's good!
But Professor Huo De didn't know that Jiang Zhe didn't feel good now.
Although he prefers magic with an offensive surname and advocates offense, he is not such an attack method!
Looking at the fireball, which is a sharp weapon of attack that he has been talking about, it has now been reduced to a means of only increasing the density of the fire element, and he has to fight with an inexplicable creature to change the distribution ratio of the two elements of water and fire around him.
What's even worse is that that strange creature obviously doesn't have any magical power, but it can absorb the water element like a magician, when will this tug-of-war become a head?
At least, this is not the battle Jiang Zhe hopes to encounter...... Since the yellow flame is not enough to defeat the opponent, then use the higher level flame...... A higher level of flame ...... Glancing at the strange creature suspended in the air not far away, with a faint blue light shining all over its body, Jiang Zhe sighed weakly, because he felt that the other party seemed to be very energetic...... Alas!
I hope that the passage that Alan and Scott took is the right passage...... While shaking his spirits and engaging in a tug-of-war with an inexplicable and wonderful creature, Jiang Zhe secretly prayed.
All for the sake of the history of ancient magic!
At the same time...... "Everything is for the assessment of the history of ancient magic, even if I encounter difficulties, I Alan must not retreat, but ......" After reciting this sentence very solemnly, Alan raised his head and looked at the 'enemy' suspended in the air, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
This 'enemy', or such an 'enemy', although Alan has not seen it with his own eyes, knows some of it in the knightly novels he has read in the past.
Ghost!
Unlike ordinary undead, wraiths are extremely rare undead.
Legend has it that if a person still harbors regret and attachment to the world in his heart when he is dying, or resentment, anger, hatred, etc., then this person may have the opportunity to remain in this world in another life form after death, which is the origin of the so-called heroic spirits and resentful spirits.
However, the Wraith is different, although it bears some resemblance to the Heroic Spirit and the Wraith in the form of life, but it is not transformed from a human, it is a demonic undead creature that dwells in the abyss.
As for why the word demon was added as a prefix, it is because a mage once put forward a hypothesis, that is, the ghost is not an undead creature in the usual sense, but a type of creature that is transformed into a demon after death.
Although there is no basis for this, this assumption may not be wrong from the location of the ghost, everyone knows that the abyss is the habitat of the dark caste demon, and if the ghost is a normal undead creature, then it should appear in the realm of death, a world full of [***] and the power of death.
However, according to some bits and pieces of information found from necromancers, there are only two types of creatures in the realm of death, one is skeletons, the other is undead, and there is absolutely no third type of creatures, as for zombies or something, the kind of guy who relies on instinct is just the masterpiece of early necromancers, and does not have wisdom at all, and in the realm of death, high-level skeletons and undead are powerful beings with wisdom. I won't mention it here for now.
Faced with a tricky enemy like the Wraith, Eren is simply helpless.
Speaking of which, Jiang Zhe was quite lucky, at least he could beat the Phantom Water Monster, but what about Allen, let alone with his bare hands, even if he took his wide knight's sword, he couldn't cause even the slightest damage to the ghost.
Because ghosts, like the undead, ignore physical damage, the only difference between the two is that, in addition to ignoring physical damage, ghosts are immune to dark caste magic, while undead are immune to psychic magicians.
Looking at the smoky ghost in front of him, Allen's back was cold.
It's not that I'm afraid of such creatures, but when I first came over, Eren suddenly had a strange feeling, he felt as if his body had passed through some kind of ...... Well, it's an indescribable feeling, it just makes people feel cold and creepy.
Looking at the guy in front of him again, why would Alan not understand?
If the fundamental reason why the undead are immune to psychic magic is because they themselves rely on psychic magic to harm each other, then the same is true for ghosts, although it can't touch Eren, it can use dark magic similar to curses to attack, and what about Ellen?
Facing an enemy who ignores physical damage, how can Alan, who has only learned one type of magic, deal with this guy?
"Poor little one......"
While Abel muttered to himself about the crystal ball opposite, Alan bent down and took out a dagger-like knife from his boot, if I thought correctly, it was also one of the knight's equipment, usually used in emergencies, when the weapon was entangled in the reins, and occasionally used against enemies, but rarely...... Seeing the little guy holding a knife to face the ghost, muttering "All for the Ancient History of Magic", Abel couldn't help but chuckle.
On the other hand, the old dean and Professor Hodd couldn't help but show a little embarrassment on their faces.
Come to think of it, if Eren took out a wand, or a magic wand, or some other magic prop, no matter who it was, he wouldn't feel anything wrong, after all, the opponent was a terrifying ghost, but the question was, in the face of this crisis, this kid actually took out a knife from his boots? Or is it a very ordinary knife that the knights use to cut the reins?
This kid is still a student of the Academy of Magic...... "It's a very special little guy!" the old dean could only say.
However, a knife did not increase Allen's chance of victory by even one point, and within a few minutes, when the knife in Allen's hand passed through the ghost's body several times but found nothing, he was completely defeated, and was beaten by the ghost with dark magic to flee in all directions, and his appearance was so embarrassed that Abel couldn't help but giggle.
"No, no, no, this little guy is so funny......"
With one hand propped up on the long table, Abel covered his chest with one hand and giggled, "What a poor little guy, if it was that kid just now, I'm afraid I can finish this ghost in three clicks, right?"
"Are you talking about South?" Professor Hodd smiled and shook his head, "Three or two hits won't do, three or four minutes, if Soth uses his high-lethal fireball with a flame flash, it may take less time......"
"That's ......" Abel nodded, looked at Allen, who was fleeing in embarrassment in the crystal ball, and asked suspiciously, "As a student of your Reox Academy, this kid can't do a single magic?"
Professor Hodd was about to speak, when he happened to see Allen being chased by ghosts all the way to the flash wooden door, only to see a faint red light emitting from his body, and then he heard a bang, and the wooden door was smashed out by Allen's punch.
Looking at Abel's surprised expression, Professor Hodd shrugged his shoulders and said, "See, as I said just now, this little ghost is learning strengthening, and I heard Professor Beyman say that this little ghost has a good talent in this area, but he really can't ...... offensive magic."
"That's trouble......" As he was saying, Abel's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a little regret, "Oops, there's no road ahead......"
As Abel said, Alan had already run to the end, and he had thought about breaking the rock wall in front of him, but after thinking about it, he gave up, first, the sound of breaking the rock was too loud, which would attract the professor who was patrolling the night, and second, please, this is underground, even if he broke the rock wall, he couldn't run out.
Besides, as the ancient castle of Reox that has existed for hundreds of years, could the walls of the castle not be protected by defensive magic such as enchantments? Don't hurt your own hands...... With his mind racing around, Alan turned around and faced his opponent.
To be honest, he had never encountered such a tricky enemy, and his two roommates were quite powerful, right?
For Soth, his fire magic is indeed very powerful, the speed of casting a fireball only takes two seconds, and the speed of casting it after that is even faster is even faster, and he has recently learned Professor Hodd's advanced magic flame flash, but even so, hasn't he lost to himself?
As long as you are within ten yards of him, you can quickly tell the winner, and if you want to beat him, you must not let his fireball spread, and it is a big deal to resist him with a fireball, although it will hurt to explode on his body, and we have agreed that he will never smash his hair, face, or anything like that...... So, compared to Soth, it's still ...... Scott is more difficult, and this guy has never known what humility is, and Soth also promised not to smash his hair and face, this guy is good, any curse beckons to him, restraint, blindness, powerlessness, last time even aging was shown, forcing himself to take revenge on him with a slash...... Wait...... As if thinking of something, Alan lowered his head and looked at the knife in his hand, and then at the ghost in front of him, and suddenly smiled.
Ignore physical attacks, right?
Hehe smiled, Alan held the knife in his right hand, and at the same time, a reddish light flashed up and down his body, and then, I saw his right hand swing violently, and a faintly visible fluctuation flew towards the ghost at an extremely fast speed.
"Wind Blade?" Abel looked at Professor Hodd in surprise.
"That's not the Wind Blade...... It is a slash, a fighting technique of warriors and knights, and it is a phenomenon of breaking the wind by using strong arm power to swing the blade at high speed and cause concussion...... This technique requires a very high level of arm strength, and this little guy's arm strength is something I can't even match......"
"Giggles, students of the Academy of Magic, don't use magic to deal with enemies, but use the skills of warriors and knights?" Sitting on the long table with his head propped up, Abel looked at the old dean and shook his head and said, "It seems that there is nothing that Ruiox can't afford to teach......"
"That's not necessarily," said the old dean with a smile in the blink of an eye, "Didn't this kid just exert the power of a brute bull, and if it weren't for this enhanced magic, how could his slash have such power?" he said, stroking his gray beard, picking up his pipe from the table, and chuckling, "Another surprising little fellow, it's hard to say whether he will win or lose now......
"Dean is right, I thought the ghost would be enough to deal with this little guy......" Professor Hodd shook his head with a wry smile.
"Isn't that good?" seemed to see the wry smile on Professor Hud's face, and the old dean said with a pipe, "This shows that they are all moving towards the desired goal in their hearts, so that such children will not be confused in their hearts...... It wouldn't be a bad thing if one day I had a student who could be a commander and lead the army, and we didn't need to kill the children's dreams......," he said, and with a wave of the old dean's right hand, another scene appeared in the crystal ball.
I saw a child in a blue magic robe, no more than twelve or thirteen years old, standing quietly, staring sharply ahead, and occasionally pushing his glasses up with his right hand.
In front of him, it could almost be said that there was a behemoth, it was a steel giant with a physique of more than six or seven yards, and the bare gears and the clattering sound were enough to prove the identity of this behemoth.
A product of alchemy, the most common steel golem among magic golems.
There is nothing to explain about steel golems, because there are very many such golems in the entire human country, especially in the places where alchemy lives, and the role of these steel golems is mostly used to guard treasures or precious treasures, and there will also be magicians to drive away irrelevant civilians, and even this kind of metal golem exists in the Sassen Palace, but most of them are used to guard more hidden rooms.
In terms of combat ability, such a steel golem may only be used to attack fortresses or castles, because although its power is large, its movement is too slow, and if it is a mage who has mastered fire, water, or even composite magic and thunder, it can easily disrupt or even destroy the internal structure of this steel golem, and if it is a knight or a warrior or something, it is very simple to deal with this kind of metal golem, of course, the premise is that it requires a weapon of excellent quality, and arm strength enough to break through the hard steel skin of the steel golem.
In contrast, the puppets of the earth and wind types are slightly powerless, but it is not them who are really powerless, but ordinary summoners, illusionists, and spellmasters...... Although they belong to the branch of dark mages, the two combat methods are very different: when a dark mage wants to kill someone, he does not have to appear in front of that person, but the battle of a sorcerer is roughly the same as that of a normal mage.
And Scott, so to speak, is a real sorcerer, and because of this, he has encountered the most difficult enemy of all time.
The steel puppet, this kind of lifeless, soulless pure alchemy product, even if the modern puppet manufacturing process is more sophisticated than in the past, but this kind of machinery still has all kinds of weaknesses, but it is this steel puppet that almost completely restrains Scott.
Scott's strength lies in illusion, as well as the curse as the main means of attack, plus the arcane magic in the Defence Against the Dark Arts course, but illusion only works on creatures with intelligence, and the steel golem happens to be not among them, and the curse usually only works on the body with **, and the steel golem happens to be not among them.
In the end, only arcane magic remains, and most of this magic is used to defend or delay time, such as [Missile], even if it hits the steel golem, I think I am afraid that there is not even a white spot, and the defense is ...... In fact, there is no need to defend at all, after all, the steel puppet in front of him is not those chess puppets, that behemoth smashed over with a punch, even if Scott rested for two seconds, it would be easy to dodge it, besides, that kind of power enough to break rocks, does Scott dare to use arcane magic to defend?
It was a defense against magic damage, and the defense against physics was much smaller, at least Eren could smash the shield out with a single punch.
"This kid is very cautious......," Abel muttered, and the other two belonged to the other two who didn't care about anything, and fought first, but this kid was still watching his opponent...... In fact, Abel is not quite right, the reason why Scott didn't make a move is because he knows about the steel golem from various magic books, and it is simply a competent guard.
In their simple 'brain', which is the integrated magic circuit, there are only two concepts: the concept of an ordinary person and an enemy, and once you attack it, it will see it as an enemy and launch a frenzied attack...... Although the attacks of this kind of low-level puppets are ten times more likely to hit people...... But Abel is right about one thing, Scott is indeed a very cautious person.
Therefore, when he saw the steel golem in person, he did not rashly attack the other party, because he understood that all his magic was almost ineffective against the other party.
He's watching, he's thinking.
In this way, another ten minutes passed, and Scott did not make any movements except for subconsciously pushing his glasses, which made Abel feel a little bored.
"This kid is too dull, he won't give up without even trying, right? When the little guy named Alan in front of him encountered a ghost, he dared to go up and slash twice to see if the other party was really immune to physical damage......
"This shows that he is cautious, cautious, is the premise of being a magician!" the old dean said softly, his eyes fixed on the crystal ball, even if it was him, he couldn't help but be a little curious, the other two little guys were surprised and surprised, so what about this child?
The little guy named Soth proved by his actions that even if he didn't have mastered the highest level of White Flame, he could deal with the Phantom Water Monster, even if it was due to his outstanding personal talent...... The little guy named Eren also proved with his actions that even if he didn't master even a single offensive magic, he could still hurt the ghost with a clever physical attack, even if it was due to his own natural ability...... And this child is different from the other two, he has no other extraordinary talents, if you insist on having it, I am afraid it is his incredible memory...... But memory can't be used to help him defeat the steel golem, so what will he do?
Scold!
Under the gaze of the three old deans, Scott finally made a move, only to see him raise his hands and faintly face the direction of the steel puppet not far away, chanting a spell in a low voice...... "In vain," Abel shook his head and said with a slight sigh, "The curse has no effect on the puppet!"
"Not necessarily," said the old dean with a chuckle, and in the face of Professor Hodder's and Abel's puzzled eyes, "mostly, well, it can be said that almost all curses are ineffective against golems, and Abel is right, but there is one magic that is exceptional......"
[Curse: Aging]
At the same time as the old dean explained, a wave of magic power appeared in Scott's body, which was proof that he kept using magic.
And the huge steel puppet was shrouded in a black mist at the moment, and it was incredible that the steel puppet, which was ineffective for the curse magic, made a piercing friction sound all over its body at this moment.
"How is this possible?" said Abel with a look of surprise, not to mention her, even Professor Hodd was surprised.
Looking at the crystal ball, the iron sheet of the steel puppet was rapidly corroding, and it showed a large piece of rust, slowly falling off, the old dean shook his head slightly, and said softly, "This kid is also a surprising little guy, you can see that he has read a lot of magic books about curses...... It is true that other curses are ineffective against steel golems, but the magic of aging is different, whether it is a living object or an inanimate object, as long as it is not an eternal existence, it cannot withstand the corrosion caused by the passage of time...... People will age, and steel will be corroded...... This little guy is doing a good job, well, I should say that these three little guys are doing well, and we are very surprised......" As he spoke, the old dean winked at Professor Hod and said happily, "And tomorrow, it's our turn to surprise them once......"
"Huh? Dean...... Is it ......?"
"Hehehe......"
(To be continued)
