Chapter 10: Become a melee mage from today
As the griffin fell, Pan Long, who had been lifted into the air, landed again and let out a long breath.
After just a short battle, the poisoning state on his character's panel was raised to the second stage, and he was not allowed to eat another antidote grass.
He noticed that the purple blood spewed out by the griffin was rapidly evaporating as it fell to the ground, turning into a thick purple miasma.
Moreover, the entire griffon's body was rapidly dissolving, turning into a large area of miasma.
(Damn!, these demonic creatures are still harming people even when they die!)
Seeing that the situation was not good, he didn't care about the spoils left by the griffin, so he hurriedly retreated, and withdrew dozens of meters in one breath before he could relax a little.
(The bloody slime before was obviously seeping into the ground after he died, why did the griffin turn into a miasma directly after he died?)
Pan Long was puzzled.
After a few moments, he saw the miasma, so thick that it was almost substantial, suddenly seep into the ground, and in a moment it completely seeped into the dirt and disappeared without a trace.
The glade in the woods was empty except for the two long feathers left by the griffon, only a few traces of its struggle, and nothing seemed to have happened.
He frowned, went to collect the two long feathers, and then went straight back to the lookout.
After returning to the lookout, he wrote a long e-mail to the headmaster, telling him what had happened after the two battles, and asking if he had any solutions to the problem.
The headmaster and King Chris, one of the Four Braves, have been old friends for many years, and he should be able to give himself some useful advice when he also participated in the battles to exterminate monsters in various places after the crusade against the Demon King.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, the principal also replied with a long letter.
In this letter, the principal explained in detail the solution to the problem: among the light attribute spiritual skills, there are two skills called "illumination" and "shining technique". The effect of both skills is to emit a levitating ball of light, but the intensity is different, and the power is also different.
In addition to illumination, the light ball of the illumination technique has a weak effect of warding off evil spirits, while the light ball of the Shining Technique has an extremely strong effect of repelling evil spirits, and the illumination is incidental.
Using these two spells, they can effectively purify the demon realm miasma.
In addition, the "Sanctuary Technique" of the spiritual skill has a stronger effect on driving away evil spirits, which can not only dispel the miasma, but even extract the miasma that has penetrated into the ground to disperse it, so as to prevent the land from breeding monsters in the future.
Pan Long checked his attributes and smacked his lips
There is no need to think about the "Sanctuary Technique", which requires the spiritual elements to reach the B level. The spiritual element was cultivated through the use of healing spells and prayers, and he really didn't have time to toss about this.
The "Shining Technique" is even more impossible, it is a skill that can only be comprehended by the B level of the spiritual element, and his spiritual element is only D, even if he meditates and casts spells every day, with his growth rate of only D level, it is estimated that it will take at least several years before it is possible to raise his spirituality to this level.
Then, he has only one choice.
Spiritual Element D-level skill, Illumination.
"I originally planned to save all the comprehension points first, and wait to learn the ...... of 'immortality' first."
From E to S, the comprehension value required to learn the skill is constantly increasing, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 3000, 10000, and 10000, if you want to learn "immortality", you need 10,000 comprehension points.
Pan Long killed for more than half a month, and swept the monsters on the periphery of Skull Island twice, but he only saved up a comprehension value of more than a thousand years, and at this rate, 10,000 points is really far away.
Now I have to waste two hundred precious points to learn the art of lighting......
Pan Long couldn't help but think in pieces: "I want to learn spells, but I don't plan to be a melee mage......!" That's Gandalf, okay!"
But after thinking about it, he still spent two hundred comprehension points and learned the "illumination technique".
No way, it's the same as a house, it's just needed.
After learning the art of lighting, of course, you can't take risks right away, you need to familiarize yourself with it.
He returned to the forest and tried to use the spell on the miasma.
With a slight sense of emptiness as the magic passed, a fist-sized ball of light flew out of his hand and floated where he was pointing. Soft white light continued to emanate from the ball of light, and the purple miasma continued to thin under the white light, and finally disappeared without a trace.
The whole process took about half a minute.
Pan Long experimented a few more times, and the general situation was about the same.
The illumination technique consumes 20 points of mana at a time, and if he doesn't rest, he can release it five times in a row, and if he rests, he can probably recover all his magic power by sleeping, 50 after a meal, and 20 after resting for about half an hour - the recovery speed of life, mana, and physical strength is the same, it is all this standard, simple and clear.
After having eaten lunch and getting ready, he set out again, stepping into the depths of the forest.
This time, a ball of light floated above his head, continuously purifying the surrounding miasma, so that he was no longer poisoned by the miasma and could explore and fight with peace of mind.
It's just that there are pros and cons to illumination, and the appearance of such a ball of light in a dark forest is naturally more conspicuous and conspicuous. Most of the monsters are dark and evil attributes, and they are inherently hostile to the light attributes. As soon as he saw the ball of light, or felt the breath of the light attribute, he immediately rushed over and launched an attack without saying a word.
Pan Long had only been exploring the forest for less than half an hour, and he had been attacked by five or six monsters in succession. Even before he could finish the battle, new monsters arrived and joined the siege.
Later, he had to flee to the outskirts of the woods near the sea.
Even so, the monsters who saw him still chased after him until they reached the beach. Fortunately, there will be no more reinforcements from the monsters here, and he only needs to spend some effort to cut down all these ass like creatures, and it will be over.
Having cut down the pursuers and watching the miasma they emitted be quickly purified by the illumination technique, Pan Long suddenly had an inspiration.
"This illumination seems to attract hatred...... Isn't it possible for me to get a suitable battlefield out there, and then use this spell to lure those monsters deep in the forest to the preset battlefield, and then fight more easily?"
The miasma environment is not only toxic, but also obstructs vision. The environment deep in the forest is also full of obstacles, and I am very impressed by Pan Long's battle.
If he had made a large flat clearing outside the forest, and then lured the monsters out to kill them every time, it would have been much safer and more efficient.
He took out the axe he had intended to use to clear the way in the forest, cut down a large area of the woods, and dragged aside all the trees that had been cut down - these dried could be used as firewood, saving a lot of time in searching for dead branches.
It took him about a day to clear an open space of about three to five hundred square meters.
This clearing is open enough to fight.
Then, the way he fought changed dramatically.
Every morning, he checked the battlefield and made sure everything was in order, and then set off for the depths of the forest. When the miasma grew stronger, he cast a lighting spell and walked around the forest with a ball of light on his head, attracting a few monsters before running out.
Slay the monsters that were attracted on the predetermined battlefield and purify the miasma, and the duration of an illumination spell was almost over.
Then he took a short break and went into the depths of the forest, using illumination to lure the monsters outside and kill them.
In this way, it can be repeated about ten times a day, killing about 100 monsters.
Of course, if you encounter a more powerful monster such as a griffin, the killing efficiency will be reduced. But on the other hand, the reward of killing monsters will also be higher.
Although the monsters in the demon world are not abundant, the products of high-level monsters are still better than those of low-level monsters.
In this way, he kept killing and killing every day, and Pan Long's exploration in this forest became deeper and deeper. On June 256, he finally saw the ruins in the middle of the forest.
It used to be the castle of the Demon King, but it had long since collapsed during the original war. Now the ruins are dilapidated and old, leaving only countless ruins, shrouded in the magic array of the six-pointed star.
The six-pointed star, which symbolizes the six elements of earth, water, wind, fire, light and darkness, radiates tenaciously in the purple miasma. At first glance, its glow is still steady, and it seems that the barrier is still strong, at least not for a short time.
But Pan Long knew that in less than two months, this enchantment would collapse and the Demon King would recover.
It's just that...... Looking at the situation of this enchantment, how did the Demon King recover?
It can't just shout, "Solomon, I'm back!" and boom, and the barrier will shatter......
Pan Long pondered for a moment, and threw an illumination spell near the barrier.
The white light continued to purify the miasma, but the surrounding thick miasma also kept pouring in. This illumination technique lasted less than a third of the usual time, and then it used up all its power, and with a slight sound like a soap bubble bursting, it exploded into a few points of light and disappeared without a trace.
But Pan Long didn't see the result.
The lighting technique was sent out, and it was like pouring a few drops of water into a hot oil pan, and it exploded. At least fifty or sixty monsters let out a frantic roar and rushed towards this direction from all directions.
Pan Long was startled, turned around and ran. Before leaving, he didn't forget to leave the illumination ball on his head in place, so as not to pull the train.
He ran to the edge of the forest in one go, first eating the antidote and herbs, and then waited in the clearing.
Sure enough, after a while, more than a dozen monsters roared and chased after them.
"Fortunately, there are many fewer than just now. ”
Pan Long breathed a sigh of relief, first put another illumination technique in the air, and then waved his long knife and greeted it.
