β¦β¦
The numbers on the Subliminal Voting interface are constantly jumping. Zheng Zhuo referred to the beating number and bought the corresponding scroll.
A Lv.3 Greasy Spell, a Lv.2 Energy Chain, and a Lv.2 Summoned Bat.
At the moment, Zheng Zhuo doesn't have the Lv.3 staff in his hand. Therefore, he had to get through it with the three additional spells first.
"Greasy can easily be associated with working with a fireball. Energy Chain and Summoning Bats ......"
What else can be done other than their respective roles: attack and jam?
Zheng Zhuo held the long staff on the way back from the bazaar and thought.
[48 days until the end of the world]
Holding [Quick Cast] on your own makes you different from ordinary mages in that you can choose multiple spells to deal with the same problem for a short period of time.
As you can imagine, throwing as much magic as possible when dealing with problems is the best option.
However, in what way and in what order to throw the magic, it was time to test Zheng Zhuo's own.
After quickly flipping through the scrolls, he used [Identification] to check his status again.
β¦β¦
γZheng Zhuoγ
[Class: Mage Lv.3]
[Class Trait: Fatigue Resistance: S]
[Ability: Identification, Rapid Spell Cast]
[Class Skills: Fireball Lv.1, Mage's Hand Lv.1, Heal Lv.2, Greasy Spell Lv.3 (Lv.2), Energy Chain Lv.2, Summoning Bat Lv.2]
[Equipment: Staff (1 Lv.2 Spell Slot), Dread Blade (Slash Lv.1, Dread Lv.1), Flying Sentry]
β¦β¦
Skills have become more. The options for casting spells are also more diverse.
Zheng Zhuo began to rethink the three questions he faced based on the spells he held.
Problem one, the magic that destroys the kobolds' camp gates.
The kobold's gate is made of iron and bronze. Probably because the [explosive bomb] left a psychological shadow on the kobolds, and when I looked at it yesterday, I didn't see any wooden structures exposed on the surface of the gate.
If you have a wooden structure, you can use the combination of [Fireball + Greasy Technique] to light it......
Wait a minute.
Will the inside of the gate be a wooden structure?
If you blast from the inside......
Zheng Zhuo stopped and immediately moved towards the weapon shop. Upon arriving, he had some discussion with his boss and got some scrap iron pieces left over from wrought iron. He took the pieces of iron with him to the no-man's alley.
"[Energy Chain], Ready."
A blue-purple aura lit up at the tip of the staff.
"Release."
Boom!
A wrist-thick pillar of energy pierced through the overlapping iron plates.
The penetration is ok!
Zheng Zhuo was overjoyed.
He didn't know how thick the kobold's gate was, but this test at least proved that [Energy Chain Lv.2] had the ability to break through the iron sheet.
Even if you can't break it with one hit, as long as you keep releasing it, there is hope.
"I'm holding [Fatigue Resistance: Small]."
Zheng Zhuo muttered to himself.
The experience of continuously cleaning up rats and bats on the first layer, and tirelessly unleashing the Mage's Hand to open the way on the second layer, gave him confidence. As long as the gate could be penetrated, he would be able to penetrate it.
As for after the breakdown......
"If you're wrist-thick, the head of the staff is just right to stick in."
The staff can be reached into, and spells can be cast.
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
Zheng Zhuo drew up a plan in his heart.
He was sure he would be able to blow up the gate. Even if you get involved in the explosion, you can succeed with [Heal Lv.2].
β¦β¦
This is followed by question two, the magic of attracting the kobold's attention.
"The door being blown open will definitely cause panic among the kobolds. Next, the first task is to distract the kobold from it in the first place. β
Zhengzhou plays with the [flying whistle] at hand.
"Is the [Flying Whistle] going to be used here? Or is it better to leave it for later? β
No, Zhuang Yusheng also said that the role of [Flying Whistle] is limited. It is better not to think of it as a means of dealing with the situation.
It would be better to use it to alleviate the immediate crisis when there is nothing else to do.
Well, now a combination is needed to open up the situation.
"Summoning the Bat ......"
Flying bats themselves seem to be a good measure of attention. However, the movement of the door blast must have been quite large. It is still unknown whether a few bats alone will be able to lure away the kobolds.
What about energy chains?
In addition to its attack power, this thing can stay in the field for a short time. It is an entity with contact damage that partially blocks the enemy's approach.
"But will the monster pay attention to the energy chain itself? It's more about paying attention to the direction of the energy chain. β
Zheng Zhuo had never fought a kobold. He heard Zhuang Yusheng say that the intelligence level of kobolds is "like not so smart humans". It is not clear whether attracting them in this way will be successful.
Sure enough, do you still have to rely on [Fireball + Greasy Technique].
Throw a few more shots to cause more chaos, then improvise with Mage's Hand, Energy Chain, and Summoned Bat.
By the way, [Flying Whistle] is also an optional option in improvisation.
"I'm a little uneasy...... However, I guess I can survive it with [Quick Cast]. Let's start with the third question. β
β¦β¦
Problem 3: Dispel or defeat the magic of the creeps.
Zheng Zhuo had seen the kobold camp when he flew into this world. He saw some kobolds riding creatures that looked like ugly rhinoceroses and creatures that looked like ugly lizards.
There are also earthworms with heads the size of kobolds' bodies, intermittently churning the soil around kobold walls.
"Ah...... Those things must be harder to deal with than rats and mushrooms......"
Zheng Zhuo grabbed his head.
Predict where they will emerge from the ground and arrange [energy chains]?
If you really can't do it......
"It's still [Fireball + Greasy Technique]."
Use this continuous spell to turn the ground into a sea of fire, essentially isolating the danger.
But......
"This continuous spell is fundamentally a thousand enemy injuries and eight hundred self-inflicted damages......"
The flames have no eyes, Zheng Zhuo has no water or ice skills, and if the fire gets out of control, he can't get out of it himself. And at that time, the flames will be in the sky, and there will be no way to see clearly where to flee and how to escape.
"Mage's Hand...... [Summoning Bat] ......"
Maybe it can help somewhat. But how exactly can it help......
"Do you still have to look at the situation on the ground?"
There are so many disturbing elements. But just thinking about it in the town doesn't come up with a better answer.
Zheng Zhuo finally decided to set off like this, take a step, look at a step.
