Chapter 48: Chen Zhou: It's a bit ridiculous

After a short rest, Maple Leaf and his party went deep into the coastal cave again.

The dimly lit caverns were lit by torches, and the water from many puddle-sized geysers gushed with dead fish and sea urchins, emitting a certain sulfur gas, making the caves already inhabited by fish-people even more fishy.

The rendering of the overly forceful rendering as if it were reality made both the maple leaf and the dried tofu feel a little uncomfortable, even the face of the local Wright was a little ugly.

So the two players turned the sensory simulation directly to the minimum.

There were not many lone enemies, and the original bitter battle did not happen, and every distance traveled there were Kou Tao fishmen who were smashed to death by sticks.

One stick at a time, never waste time.

Judging by how dead they were, they barely even responded.

In this way, after working together to deal with a lone fishman every other way, the three of them finally encountered an unexpected situation - two Kou Tao fishmen who quickly converged after being alone.

From three to one to three to two, the original numerical advantage suddenly disappeared.

"Be careful."

Dried Tofu, who was already at the back of the group, silently retreated some distance, it was time to cast his magic like a normal mage.

Unlike the NPCs in this world, player mages don't need to be knowledgeable, they can learn magic by leveling up, spending money, and copying scrolls.

And compared to the overly strict table rules, New Vision has also optimized the preparer caster,

As long as they are not in combat, players can adjust their prepared spells at any time.

In addition, after casting the spell, he will not forget the magic he has prepared, and he can freely allocate the spell slots that he can cast every day.

Therefore, after entering the Coastal Cavern, Dried Tofu adjusts the spell slot to Control.

Seeing one of the warrior-like humans retreating, the two Kou Tao fishmen immediately stepped forward with harpoons, each dealing with a human.

This is their home turf, and the Koutao Fishmen are also a stronger race than humans, and their odds are extremely high in one-on-one situations.

However, as they moved forward, the dried tofu had already found a piece of lard prepared in advance from his waist bag and held it in his hand.

It is the material used to perform the "greasy technique".

Immediately, the cavern reverberated with the chanting of incantations.

Seeing this, the fishmen were shocked and aimed their harpoons at the dried tofu hiding behind.

The caster can play a decisive role in battle, and is the first choice for enemies to set fire in any situation.

And Maple Leaf and Wright, who had long been expected, decisively stepped forward and interrupted the fish-man with an attack to interrupt the spell casting.

Three seconds later, the spell took shape, and a smooth cloud of grease instantly covered the chole-ridden surface of the Coast Cavern.

In the midst of the battle, the fish-man only felt a slip under his feet, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground, and was stabbed by the rapier and Kou Tao's harpoon that seized the opportunity, killing him.

However, Maple Leaf failed to kill the fishman in the first shot, and made up another blow to end the battle completely.

Stewed frozen tofu: After completing this mission, you should hurry up and find a teacher who teaches aristocratic swordsmanship and turn into a wandering swordsman.

Maple Leaf: Then you have to make money first.

"Fortunately, there are spellcasters, otherwise we would have to suffer a little."

Wright, who realized that he had survived the catastrophe, breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced that there was a warrior in the team who could cast spells.

Dried Tofu and Maple Leaf silently glanced at each other - both of them had already gathered enough experience to advance to level 2.

Leveling up means new skills and skill points, as well as a complete recovery of all statuses.

This way, the only two spell slots that Dried Tofu has will regenerate.

"Fortunately, my spells are not powerful, and it is difficult to play a decisive role in ordinary casting."

After being modest, Dried Tofu cast "Mage Armor" on the upgraded Maple Leaf, and then upgraded on the spot to fill his spell slot.

Maple Leaf: There are so few attributes that are upgraded.

Stewed frozen tofu and dried tofu: There will be a big improvement every level 5, like my upgrade this time, only unlocking one school ability.

Maple Leaf: I'm an extra bit of a breather, and I look pretty strong.

"Breath Recovery": Once in each battle, guide for 3 seconds, and restore your D10+ Warrior Level HP by taking a deep breath.

With this ability, the Maple Leaf's damage bearing ability will be greatly improved, temporarily acting as a tank.

As for the dried tofu who is currently a mage of the School of Change for the time being, he has mastered the "physical enhancement": every time he prepares a spell, he chooses one of the force sensitive bodies to get a +1 enhancement bonus, an additional +1 every 5 levels, and can act on two attributes at level 20.

※ Maximum attribute can be 20.

As a result, the agility of dried tofu has increased to 17, and the speed has increased in all aspects.

It's getting less and less like a serious mage......

……

On the other hand, Chen Zhou, who had accumulated XP during the infiltration period, temporarily stopped and invested 5,000 XP points into the "Snow Spellcast".

This is a special spell casting method that specializes in ice spellcasters, and can enhance their magic with things related to extreme cold, such as ice and snow, and low temperatures.

It is impossible to learn and master the main points in a short period of time, and Chen Zhou originally just wanted to avoid XP overflow.

But after taking a look at "Life Plan", he was surprised to find that there was a new class in addition to Warlock in his character card - Eldritch Scion.

"Why did you stop all of a sudden?"

Jerry, who had no idea about "Life Planning", couldn't help but feel confused by the other party who was in a daze.

"Jerry, do you know what the successor of Arcane is?"

"Of course I know, it's a class similar to a warlock and a bloodline rage!"

Both are spellcaster classes with charisma-based attributes.

"Warlocks have grabbed more of the spell-casting part from the origin of the spell (the 9-ring Charismatic Caster), the Bloodline Fury has taken more of the original magic and combat talent from the origin of the spell (the 4-Ring Charismatic Caster), and the Arcane Successor is in between (the 6-Ring Charismatic Caster)."

Unlike the Warlocks, who focused on spell casting, the Arcane Successors mastered a technique called "Spell Strike", and were adept at casting magic while fighting, and channeling magic to their enemies through their weapons.

By consuming mana, they can also use a primitive magic technique called "Arcane", which mixes combat with magic.

In fact, in Jerry's opinion, Tom, as a tiger man, is more like a successor to the arcane law or a bloodline rage than a warlock - have you ever seen a warlock whose magic is just a buff, picking up a sword or a club?

But it's a bit of an anachronism to mention that now.

"You're not the successor of the Arcane, why did you suddenly mention this?"

"I think I am." Chen Zhou was a little unsure of how to explain, "At least for now." ”

"Okay, but I don't think it's strange that you don't look like a normal warlock in the first place."

“……”

Chen Zhou just thinks it's a bit ridiculous, how can he feel like he is leveling up faster than the player?

That being said, the ability to awaken the Arcane Successor doesn't give him more magic, a magic cap, or new abilities, just a better fight than he used to be - the Warlock's development of the origin of the spell covers the half-baked magic of the Arcane Successor.

Strictly speaking, he is still the previous level 3 warlock.
