Chapter 42: The Silver Mask

"Mana Enhancement" is a very simple magic technique, through a closed magic circuit, release magic attached to the item, through the magic power will not be immediately absorbed by the 'magic net', temporarily strengthen the physical properties of the item attached to the magic power, improve its solidity, increase physical defense and attack power.

At the same time, this is also a prerequisite for many melee skills, and it is a necessary means of implementing many melee skills, and if you don't master the 'magic enhancement', it will be like the 'lethal throw' used by Lucy, and the power will be greatly reduced.

If you are an expert in the use of magic, you can even use this skill to increase the malleability, flexibility, and sharpness of items, increase resistance to chemicals such as sulfuric acid, and resistance and aggression to magic.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Originally, a pillow like this, which was so soft that it had no offensive power, would not hurt even if it was thrown on ordinary people. However, after Lucy applied the "magic enhancement" and "lethal throw", the pillow has temporarily become extremely strong, and it has become quite lethal.

"Who do you think is responsible for this??You wedge-diggers, do you know how inaccurate your information is?!Is that a rookie who has just graduated?!Is that an enemy that I, a level 7 stalker, can deal with?!" Lucy suddenly raised her head, revealing her scarlet eyes, staring viciously at the place where the voice appeared, and roared angrily.

As if he was about to explode all the resentment, resentment, helplessness, and fear accumulated throughout the day, he kept roaring like a wounded demonic beast.

"I know, and the guys up there know it, you won't be penalized for failing this mission, and you won't have any records. Isn't it the best proof that I'm here to see you, not to chase the troops' 'animal masks' to this safe house?"

The flirtatious voice sounded again, and although it was still laughing, it was still seriously comforting Lucy.

At this moment, in the dim moonlight, a figure slowly flashed in the shadows of the room, and appeared in front of Lucy's eyes.

It was a young man who wore a silver mask that covered the upper half of his face and looked to be twenty-one or twelve years old.

He is about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned and somewhat slender slender figure, short black hair that is messy, thin lips that are slightly upturned, a high nose bridge and deep black eyes, and a silky black robe on his body.

It doesn't look like an assassin wandering in the shadows at all, but like a handsome aristocrat who is sought after by noblewomen and celebrities at an aristocratic party.

But Lucy's attitude towards him, though angry, but not too disrespectful, and the silver mask on his face that only covered half of his face, clearly indicated that this was a member of the 'ball' who was higher than Lucy's class.

Most of them are composed of middle and high-level professionals above the ninth level and below the thirteenth level, and the backbone of the "masquerade ball" - "Silver Mask".

"So, what's going on?" Lucy asked after listening to the explanation of the 'Silver Mask', but still staring closely at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared.

"You're also a person who came out of the church's training institution, and the instructor who taught you to infiltrate Jishu should have taught you. When you are unsure if there is an enemy outpost or ambush ahead, throw a stone in front of you to test the possible variables before moving forward. ”

The Silver Mask didn't answer Lucy's question, as if it were a memory, telling the knowledge taught by the previous instructors.

Lucy heard the deep meaning inside, and although the 'Silver Mask' did not answer her question directly, it still pointed out something.

"Really, am I the one who threw the stone?" Lucy lowered her head again, and said lightly, unable to hear her emotions now.

But it's probably not a positive emotion, after all, whoever encounters such a situation will not be in a good mood. Mr. Killer, who was full of aristocratic temperament, thought.

But although I know and understand her feelings, there are still some things that must be said.

"Although I understand your feelings, but I think you should know the rules of the 'prom', and in the future, the kind of complaints about the top and even the church, it's best not to let others hear them, otherwise you won't know who it is next time, understand?!"

adjusted his expression, put away his frivolous smile, and issued a warning to Lucy in an unusually serious manner, and a strong sense of oppression instantly enveloped Lucy.

It's the same as the sense of intimidation that the priest emitted, although it's a little worse than that monster, but you can't be mistaken, it's this feeling, as if you will be killed at any time. It seems that there is a lot more I don't know, and this is probably the so-called advanced skill of magic use. ’

Lucy thought silently, trying to analyze the feeling.

She was right, this was indeed an advanced magical skill of the melee class - 'Magical Deterrence'.

Like the Magic Ring, 'Mana Deterrence' is an advanced magic skill used by non-compliant classes. Of course, although it is said to be an exclusive skill, to put it bluntly, it is the ability effect achieved by using a closed magic circuit, so a magician like Kylelius who has enough closed magic circuits can also use it reluctantly, but in terms of effect and cost performance, it is far worse than melee professionals.

The principle of 'Magic Deterrence' is very similar to that of the 'Magic Ring', in that it releases mana into the air through a closed magic loop.

However, "Mana Deterrence" is a target within the range of mana release, using a large amount of mana to cause stress and negative emotions to the target, and if the level or magic liliang gap is too large, it will cause a standout effect like Kyllius to Lucy.

The biggest difference between it and the Magic Ring is that there is a big difference in the amount and time of mana release

In order to detect the surroundings for a long time, the latter generally releases very few magic liliang per unit of time, so that it can support long-term reconnaissance, and at the same time avoid too much magic from being detected by the enemy through magic, magic and other means, which enhances the concealment of skills. After all, for an Detection skill, secrecy is extremely important.

As the name suggests, 'Magical Deterrence' means to deter enemies, so it is necessary to emit a large amount of magic power at once to produce an overwhelming deterrent. But at the same time, because the amount of mana released at one time is too large, it generally cannot be maintained for a long time.

By the way, the longest continuous release time of Kyleus's 'Magic Shock' is about three minutes, although his magic liliang is very high, but because compared to melee professionals, the consumption rate of releasing 'Magic Shock' is much higher, and the consumption of mana is correspondingly several times that of them.

Therefore, Kyrlius usually doesn't usually use this kind of advanced technique, which is of little use to him. If you have that kind of magic to waste, you might as well keep it and use a few more magic spells that can produce the same effect.
