285 Demon Warriors
Sword and sorcery are the two most dominant branches of the combat profession, which complement each other but are very different.
To put it simply, magic mobilizes the spiritual aspects of the Trinity, which the mages use to manipulate the energy elements that wander in space to achieve their desired vision. Martial arts, on the other hand, need to focus on exercising one's own body, in order to burst out with more powerful physical power, traumatize and even kill enemies.
One is spiritual, the other is physical, and there is an essential difference between magic and martial arts. However, this distinction does not create a conflict between the two practices, that is, it is theoretically possible to learn both magic and martial arts at the same time. However, whether it is magic or martial arts, it takes a lot of time and effort to reach a certain level. Only a peerless genius who is gifted both physically and mentally can practice both of these powers at the same time, and attain high attainments in both.
Otherwise, blindly learning at the same time, not knowing what to choose, can only make you gradually step into a mediocre situation on these two paths.
However, magic and martial arts, after all, are the most powerful weapons in the hands of humans. If the two can be combined, it will surely promote the rapid development of mankind again, and in the records of historical texts, there are countless powerful magicians or warriors who have been tirelessly engaged in it, wanting to achieve this far-reaching feat. However, the vast majority of them, the most of them ended in failure, and the only achievement left in this process of going forward and succeeding was the Demon Warrior.
Samurai who can use magic, they were active in the heyday of the Magic Empire thousands of years ago, and even became an independent member of the Imperial Army, and possessed combat capabilities far beyond ordinary troops.
But that doesn't mean they've been able to blend magic and martial arts perfectly. These samurai, who can use magic, are still warriors at heart.
Since a person's time and energy are not enough to support the simultaneous cultivation of magic and martial arts, then distinguishing priorities may be the only way to solve the problem, which is the guiding ideology of the Demon Warrior.
Among the young samurai with excellent martial arts. Picking out the ones with magical talents, and then teaching them some spells that are easy to master, is the basic method of training for a demon warrior. Most of their energy and time is still spent on their martial arts, and a small part of them is used to learn the basics of magic.
They don't pursue a high level of magic, and the spells they practice are generally low-level. But with these spells that fit their fighting style as support, their original martial arts can burst into even more powerful power. For example. An agile warrior can gain a level of swiftness after blessing the wind system's light body technique, and a warrior with exquisite swordsmanship but gentle strength can greatly make up for the lack of lethality of his martial arts if he attaches the magic of thunder and lightning to his long sword.
What's more, in that heyday of magic, they were also able to equip powerful enchanted weapons or armor, and they could strengthen their combat ability by multiple levels.
But. Although magic is only an adjunct to martial arts, it plays a much more important role. The training of the Demon Warriors and the establishment of an army. All of them were based on the developed magic of that era, and once the magic system tended to decline, the demon warriors lost their greatest support.
By now, even magicians have become a rare existence, those demon warriors who hold swords in one hand and cast spells in the other. It has become an illusory symbol in distant legends, which is rare to see again.
However, just because the world is so vast and difficult to see doesn't mean they won't exist.
"Ados. What are you talking about?" Allegri sat up and beckoned, still interested in being able to discuss something related to magic during such a long journey. What's more, such an academic discussion cannot be adulterated, and you can also thoroughly find out the details of the other party in this way.
Seeing Allegri waving at him, Dargnan hurriedly leaned forward. In the battle with the magician, the closer the distance, the greater the advantage, since there is such a good opportunity, of course I will not miss it. However, as soon as he wanted to move, the gaze of the half-elf ranger at the door of the carriage had already swept over, spinning back and forth on the long knife at his waist. Without looking, Dargnan could feel a sharp murderous aura firmly locking on him, and the other party had obviously picked up the bow and arrow, ready to attack.
He scratched his head in embarrassment, untied his weapon casually, and threw it to the side. Waiting for the murderous aura behind him to dissipate, he took a step forward and asked a little crampedly,
"I know that Master Allegri is a great magician of the flame system, I wonder if you have any research on the magic of the ice system?"
"Ice?" Allegri smiled slightly, so it sounded that the other party was indeed a rookie in magic, although he was a fire mage, he had reached the realm of a high-ranking magician. With his deep understanding of the principles of spells, it was more than enough to guide other magicians at the high level and below. He turned his head and pondered the wording, trying to make it easier to understand.
"Ados, that's right, the essence of magic lies in the use of energy, and the difference between the genres comes from the different aspects of the understanding of energy, although everyone generally thinks that the ice system is completely opposed to the fire system, but the two have more commonalities, so I also have a deep understanding of ice spells. ”
"I see," Dargnan asked with a happy look on his face, "That's right, I learned an ice spell from that ancient magic book, its spell level should not be high, but it is very useful to me, I would like to ask the master, is there any way to improve or strengthen this spell?"
"Oh, do you already have ideas for improving or strengthening established spells?" Allegri couldn't help laughing, it seemed that this guy's magic foundation was very good, and he was a good seedling worth cultivating, he glanced at the other party approvingly, nodded and promised, "If it's convenient, you can release this spell for me to see, if it can be improved or strengthened, I will definitely tell you." ”
"Okay, good, I'll release it to the master. A mocking smile flashed in Dargnan's eyes, and he stretched out his left hand, rolled up his cuffs, and his five fingers were slender and clean, well-proportioned and powerful. (To be continued......)
