10% for option 1, 5% for option 2, 10% for option 3 and 75% for option 4.

……

[Option 4]

[Existence Extension]: Spells cast (fireballs, energy chains, etc.) will no longer disappear after hitting an enemy, and will continue to exist like summons (mage hands, bats, etc.) until the next spell is prepared

……

[Presence Extension].

This class trait adds a containment effect to Fireball. And the greater use is still reflected in the [energy chain].

A chain-like structure capable of dealing damage over time, persisting on the field.

What does this mean?

Zheng Zhuo's mind thought of the barbed wire and power grids he had seen along ponds and fields.

Meaning...... Is it used to attack intruders? For defense.

However, if you think of it as a power grid that can be dismantled and discontinued, it can also be used to create unexpected attacks.

Good.

Zheng Zhuo clenched the staff in his hand and poked his head out.

He's on the watchtower now. It has the advantage of vision.

In front of him is the avenue of the kobold camp. Rhino and kobold soldiers prowl the avenue. He certainly wouldn't choose to break in from the avenue.

And the other side......

Thanks to the kobolds' penchant for crowded architecture, the location of the watchtower and the camp is very close. Zheng Zhuo can jump directly from here into the two- or three-story camp on the side.

(Can you see it from such a distance...... [identification]. ）”

Zheng Zhuo gave it a try. The distance of use of [identification] was much farther than he had imagined, and he saw the word "kobold" flashing in the continuous camps.

[Kobold], [Kobold], [Weapon], [Crossbow].

Probably because the distance is too far, there is no detailed information on the display interface, but being able to know what is in what position is a great help to Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo stared at the camp carefully. Some positions have fewer kobolds, while others have more weapons. He guessed that the buildings in the kobold city were also functionally divided, some places were barracks, and some places were arsenals.

And if he wanted to pass through the walled city, of course, he had to stagger the barracks and pass through the arsenal.

"Walk from the inside of the walled city...... The location of the attack is ......"

The avenue in front of you.

Zheng Zhuo wrote down the position in his heart and turned off the [Appraisal].

This time, he looked at the wide, rhino knight wandering avenues in the walled city on the left and right.

Next, you just need to do it again.

……

“…… Release. ”

The barely audible spellcasting command rang out over the watchtower, and suddenly, grease appeared out of thin air, splashing at the feet of rhinos and kobolds on the avenue.

Kobolds and rhinos panic! But with the previous offensive at the entrance, the monsters were already vigilant, and the kobolds blew their horns and bent their bows and arrows—

That's when it happened.

"[Summoning bats] prepare, release."

Whoa!

The black shadow flew out from above the watchtower and crashed straight into a kobold riding on a rhino!

The kobold dropped his bow, drew his dagger, and sliced the oncoming bat in half. But then came the second, the third......

The enemy is on the watchtower! Realizing this, kobolds began to move in search of a better angle of attack. But the [Greasy Technique] made their feet slippery, unable to move forward or backward, and for a while, they were even more embarrassed than before.

Woo - woo -

The kobolds in the distance began to shoot arrows at this point. A rain of arrows flew towards the watchtower, which had been overrun by the enemy.

And this time, instead of bats, a scorching fireball flew out of the watchtower.

Boom!

The fireball fell straight down, igniting the grease on the ground, and the rhino knights, who had moved to the edge of the [Greasy Technique], howled and rubbed out......

…… But there's something else there.

[Energy Chain].

After the fireball ignited the grease, the spell was immediately placed in the fire. The flame's orange glow obscured its blue-purple glow, so that the rhino riders didn't notice it in their panic. They all slammed into the energy chain, wailing in pain.

If the situation continues like this, Zheng Zhuo can really kill three rhinos and three rhino knights here in one fell swoop. This wealth of experience will be enough for him to move up several levels in a row.

But it didn't go that way.

The energy chain that the rhino riders had squeezed suddenly flashed and vanished. This allowed them to fall out of the range of the flames.

Is it a trap? The kobolds are still in shock.

But it's not.

It was the caster who was in crisis.

“…… Can...... Evil ......"

The top of the watchtower.

Zheng Zhuo tried his best to resist the long staff, and his forehead was sweating. A blue-purple glow lit up in front of him, traversing the top of the watchtower.

And the energy chain in front of him was firmly stuck in the neck of a huge lizard at this moment.

"More than I thought...... Be ...... fast"

The kobold's lizard rider also spotted Zheng Zhuo. A lizard climbed the watchtower at the first opportunity.

It wants to stick its head in the watchtower! Discovering this scene, Zheng Zhuo immediately blocked the entrance of the watchtower with [Energy Chain]!

But it's not a long-term solution!

Zheng Zhuo watched as the kobold sitting on the lizard drew his bow and placed the arrow on it.

It had to be transferred.

Zheng Zhuo waved his staff with a "swish". The energy chain suddenly disappeared, and the lizard was completely defenseless, and due to inertia, it swooped into the watchtower, and lost its balance along with the kobold on its back.

Now is the time!

Zheng Zhuo rolled over and jumped out from the side of the watchtower.

Hot air blows past your face.

"[Mage's Hand], prepare, release!"

The blue energy hand held Zheng Zhuo for a moment. He fell into the walled city below.

The body hurts, but it's another trip that hurts even more when you stop.

"[Healing] ...... [Healing]!"

Zheng Zhuo rolled up. He healed himself as he ran forward. He raced through the crooked kobold walled city, kicked open the crumbling wooden doors of the kobold walled city, ran into the scattered kobolds that remained before they could react, was stabbed in the body by a knife and claws, and ran past them in defiance of the damage, crashing into the next door.

Only when there is no door, he will stop [healing].

"[Fireball], release."

The wooden walls exploded in all directions. The strength of the buildings in the walled city is quite weak, and even the [Fireball] of Lv.1 can't resist it.

The only problem is that more and more kobolds are being attracted.

Lv.2's [Heal] is released continuously, and it cannot keep up with the recovery of physical strength. This is a very red flag.

Zheng Zhuo could only pin his hopes on the arsenal he had confirmed in the [Appraisal].

(Arsenal...... Come on...... Arsenal...... At least get there...... ）”

He had seen that there were no kobolds there, and, moreover, in the corner. It was a closed room.

Rush in there and hold on any longer, and you'll get some respite. If you can find a weapon at Lv.3, you will have a better chance of breaking through - the grease can't stick to the enemy yet, so you can't deal lethal damage to the enemy who is hit.

Judging from Fang Cai's observations, it should be soon. Just ahead—

Then.

Zheng Zhuo saw a rhinoceros in his spare eye.

"-sh-"

It jumped high, to the height of two floors—

Unmistakably crashed into the place where Zheng Zhuo was.

Boom!!!

As if hit by a locomotive, Zheng Zhuo flew out and broke through the wall. He fell on a number of hard bulges, and the blow cost him half his life.

"Wow!"

Blood spurted out of Zheng Zhuo's mouth. [Identification] opened, and he saw that his physical strength disappeared in an instant.

"Governing ...... Treat...... Release ......"

Once again, he was left alive. Blood was left along his forehead, and Zheng Zhuo's eyes were blurred.

Want...... To confirm...... Enemy......

Zheng Zhuo used [identification] to glance at the other party. Lv.35 rhinoceros. Rhino Knight at Lv.30, skill is ......

Well?

Roar!!!

A loud bang that shook the world.

The rhinoceros didn't give him time to prepare! It charged violently and stepped on Zheng Zhuo's chest—

Zheng Zhuo swung his staff to block it! Only a "crunch" was heard, and the staff turned into two sections under the rhinoceros's feet. Zheng Zhuo rolled to the side—

He held out his hand.

He didn't give up hope, because just now, when he was looking around the field with [Identification], he saw it.

Many, many, information about weapons.

The rhinoceros crashed him into the arsenal!
