Chapter 42: Lightning and Curse

After his physique reached transcendence, the rift in Lin Xi's body caused by the fusion of predators gradually healed.

The increase in ability caused by the increase of stat points is not linear, but increases exponentially.

Especially after 18 points, the gap between each attribute point will become bigger and bigger, after the extraordinary physique, Lin Xi's physical fitness is incomparable, and he can barely achieve the expected goal.

Attribute points are precious to every player, and although Lin Xi has gained a lot of extra attribute points because of the first place reward, he can't take all attributes into account.

Among the six attributes, the lowest strength is only 9, even with the blessing of the title of "Epic Hero", it can reach the average level of adult men, as one of the important attributes to measure melee ability, it can be said that it is dragging Lin Xi back.

Agility is only 13, which is beyond the average person, but it's still not enough to look at wanderers and monsters known for their speed.

And as the main attribute of the evil magician, it is also the charm of the key attribute of spellcasting, and it has never been favored by Lin Xi.

It's not that you don't want to improve these attributes, it's just that you use them where you need them.

Transcendent Perception and Epic Perception laid the foundation for Lin Xi, and Extraordinary Intelligence brought the first prize of dual-attribute transcendental, and the Extraordinary Physique solved the hidden dangers of Lin Xi's body, and greatly improved the carrying capacity, allowing predators to devour more abilities.

And the next goal of Lin Xi is charm, this attribute is currently the closest to the extraordinary, if you want to compete for the first place in the four attributes of the extraordinary, charm is the best choice.

And charm is closely related to spell-casting ability, although Lin Xi calls himself a melee fighter, it is undeniable that spells are still Lin Xi's main combat ability at this stage.

As for the two attributes of strength and agility, they can only be considered when Lin Xi has surplus attribute points.

With an extraordinary physique and regenerative ability, even if the strength test is at a disadvantage in battle, Lin Xi will not suffer too much.

When Lin Xi was considering the future development route, the system's prompt sounded again.

“…… Under the influence of the Ultra Magic Core, you can comprehend an additional 2 3-ring spells. ”

“…… Now open the comprehension space. ”

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting this stubble.

The epic specialty [Super Demon Core] can make Lin Xi comprehend two additional known spells of each ring, but the maximum is only 5 rings, because the magic sorcerer's spell level is only 5 rings at the highest.

If you want to get 6 rings or more spells on your own, you can only use the arcane method.

The rings in my mind reappeared, and hundreds of symbols of the 3-ring spell swirled in them.

With a cursory sweep, Lin Xi saw many powerful spells, including 'Fear Technique', 'Vaporization Form', 'Hypnotic Pattern', 'Protective Array', 'Clever Words Technique', and 'Vampire's Touch'.

Among them, there are also the expansion spells of the Demon Path, "Fireball Technique" and "Stinky Cloud Technique".

When it comes to the 3rd ring, most of the spells are very practical, and they are no longer as tasteless and dispensable as the 0-ring trick and the 1-ring spell.

For example, 'Spell Countermeasure', Lin Xi recalled its descriptive effect.

"You're trying to interrupt a spell a creature is casting. If the creature is casting a 3 ring or lower spell, its spell fails and has no effect. If the creature is casting a 4 ring or higher spell, you perform an attribute check with the key attribute of the spell, and if the check is successful, its spell fails and has no effect. ”

It's nice to look at, actually...... It's really beautiful.

This spell is undoubtedly a huge nemesis for a class that is also a spellcaster.

But in Lin Xi's eyes, there is no high strategic value at present.

It is conservatively estimated that more than 90% of the spellcasters who can pose a threat to Lin Xi have mastered such professional specialties as "Spell Instantaneous", "Spell Silent", and "Combat Spellcast".

These powerful spellcasters cast spells for a short period of time, and are able to do so silently without any precursors to casting spells.

Trying to use 'spell countermeasures' to restrain them is tantamount to a fool's dream.

And a spellcaster without these specialties is like a child with a weapon in his hand to Lin Xi, who has no power but can't control it.

Don't doubt their existence, in fact most players who choose the spellcasting class fall into this category, which is one of the reasons why their pre-apocalyptic mortality rate is much higher than other classes.

Of course, that's not to say that this spell is useless. Its Ascending Ring cast effect is: "When casting the spell with a 4 ring or higher spell slot, if the ring level of the interrupted spell is not higher than the spell slot ring you are using, the target spell will be directly interrupted." ”

To put it simply, it is cast at a higher ring level spell slot, which can counter higher ring level spells.

While the 4-ring or 5-ring spell is powerful, it also takes a longer preparation time, even if you have the specialty of "Spell Instant", you can only shorten this time as much as possible, and the higher the power of the spell, the longer the spell swing, the greater the chance that the "Spell Counter" will take effect.

In other words, when Lin Xi's spell level reaches a higher ring level, the 'Spell Countermeasure' can really have its place.

And now Lin Xi might as well choose a spell that can instantly increase his combat power.

As time passed, the spell symbols inside the ring became more and more dim.

When the comprehension space was about to close, Lin Xi finally locked the two spells that were most suitable for him from the dazzling hundreds of symbols.

“…… You have comprehended the "lightning beam" and the "curse". ”

Lightning Beam: A 100-foot-long and 5-foot-wide bolt of linear lightning bursts out from your position in any direction you specify, and targets within the linear area will receive intense lightning damage. Lightning ignites combustible objects in the area that are not dressed or carried.

Spellcast: You can choose a creature within cast range that must pass a Perception immunity or be cursed for the duration of the spell. When casting a spell, you can choose one of the following effects:

Suppress Curse: Select an attribute value, and when affected by the curse, the target temporarily -2 for that attribute.

Curse of Debilitation: When affected by a curse, the target has a disadvantage in your Attack Check.

Curse of Vulnerability: When affected by a curse, your attacks and spells deal additional Eclipse damage to the target.

Curse of Vulnerability: When affected by the curse, the target's defense is reduced, and the exemption check is a disadvantage.

Curse of Weakness: When affected by a curse, the damage dealt by the target when attacking with a strength-based weapon is reduced.

As the level increases, the enemies encountered become stronger and stronger, and 1-ring spells such as "Purgatory Drink" and "Thundering Wave", even if they are cast with 3-ring spells, the effect of the increase is limited, and they are not as good as the real 3-ring spells after all.

In the previous battle, Lin Xi was deeply aware of the lack of his attack methods, and when facing the Mother of Corpse Turtles and the Giant Worm that Drilled into the ground, he could only break through from the inside.

And the power of the "Lightning Beam" is far above the "Thunder Wave", and it is a powerful attack spell that can truly make a final decision.

"Spell Drop" is a support spell that mainly weakens the opponent, and will not be eliminated for a long time in the future, with two curses attached when cast at the 4-ring spell slot, and three curses can be attached to the 5-ring spell slot.

With Lin Xi's perception of up to 29, the success rate of "Spell Reduction" is extremely high, and if the opponent does not have the means to eliminate the curse or the corresponding resistance, he will naturally be at a disadvantage when facing Lin Xi.
