Chapter 49: Two Skills and One Shield (please read it later).
Richard has become more aware of the teaching style of the Ignis School after this period of time.
For first-level wizard apprentices, it can be said that they are easy to get in and strict to get out. The school does not care whether you attend classes or not, and what classes you take. It is just a semi-annual assessment that you must pass.
Otherwise, no matter how many classes you take and how carefully you listen, they will all be equal to zero.
Richard appreciates this very much. This is out of respect for the students' freedom of choice!
The courses of the school can be combined and studied at will. You only need to learn what you want to learn!
With the incident at the Spider Trail, the teachers responsible for the basic courses for freshmen have already resumed normal teaching.
Since Richard had enough points, he had taken several additional paid courses during this period and completed three other prerequisite courses for zero-level witchcraft, Bone Armor, Slowness, and Dark Element Shield.
This is different from what he originally planned!
Richard's original idea was that being good at everything is not as good as being equally good at everything. He is proficient in a powerful witchcraft and can instantly kill the opponent at the beginning.
This is also the reason why he chose to learn the Grasp of Shadow first!
But after taking a paid course "Wizard Apprentice Combat Essentials", Richard changed his mind.
On the course, the instructor’s original words were, “Wizard apprentices, especially first- and second-level wizard apprentices, have a limited amount of spiritual power and a very limited number of witchcraft they can use, so they must fully balance offense and defense, and do not There are still shortcomings."
Indeed, when encountering a battle that cannot be resolved quickly, Richard's shortcomings are undoubtedly exposed. He does not know any continuous defensive magic.
Although the Shadow Grasp can change its form and be used to protect itself, it can only withstand one attack from the opponent.
If faced with multiple attacks from the enemy, Richard can currently only choose to dodge.
Thinking of this, Richard recalled the battle between himself and the Shadow Stalker, and he was still frightened!
If he hadn't happened to buy the Wind Elegance potion at that time, or if he hadn't drank the potion without hesitation before fighting the Shadow Stalker.
Then it is very likely that he himself was killed by the opponent with one arrow in that battle!
Therefore, this time he chose to learn bone armor, dark element shield, and slowness, which basically made up for his shortcomings.
That's right!
Richard's next plan is that as his mental power gradually improves, he can now support the opportunity to use zero-level witchcraft two to three times.
So, he redefined his fighting style.
Richard did not choose the more powerful zero-level attack witchcraft again, such as death bite, secondary shadow arrow, etc., but first chose two continuous defensive witchcraft [Bone Armor Technique] and [Dark Element Protection]. Shield] to make up for your own defensive shortcomings.
[Bone Armor Technique] Continuously consumes mental power, triggering dark element energy and bone powder to form multiple white bones that rotate around the body at high speed. When casting the spell, a witchcraft medium: bone powder is required.
One of the prerequisite courses for bone armor is to control skeletons, which Richard has already mastered.
[Dark Element Shield] consumes about three points of mental power to induce dark element energy to wrap around the whole body in a bubble shape.
Although both are defensive witchcraft, there are still big differences. Bone armor is more suitable for resisting physical attacks, such as sword slashing, etc., while dark element shield is more suitable for resisting all-element witchcraft attacks.
Then, Richard chose a relatively common zero-level witchcraft [Slowness]. The reason for choosing it was also very simple. As a turret profession, a wizard must try to keep as far away from his opponents as possible, especially since Richard himself is a bowman. In the case of the crossbow master.
[Slowness]: Spend about two points of mental power to activate the power of dark elements, apply a slowness curse, and reduce the enemy's movement speed and attack speed.
Speaking of slowness, the white wizard's slowness activates the power of the earth element, exerts the influence of gravity, and reduces movement speed and attack speed.
The essence of the dark wizard's slowness technique is a curse that activates the power of dark elements!
If Richard didn't take paid courses, he really wouldn't understand the difference.
Today, Richard is going to start practicing these three witchcrafts. He plans to start with the simplest technique of slowness.
[It was found that the host was casting the zero-level witchcraft slowness spell. Did/do you consume energy to get the inspiration for the zero-level witchcraft slowness spell? 】 This time, looking at the numbers 1 and 8200 at both ends of the slide bar, Richard thought for a moment and decided to drag the slide bar to the position of 1000 and selected "Yes!" After a while, the world was
spinning, and Richard's soul came to the dreamland again. In space, this time he came to an empty wasteland. He was possessed by a vague figure wearing a hood. As soon as he was
possessed, he saw the first rune of the slowness spell in his mind, and was mentally The force slowly sketched out, but soon failed.
The spell of slowness consists of three runes in total. Once outlined, a witchcraft model can be formed.
Since Richard has had many experiences in outlining runes, especially with the Rodrigo Meditation Method and one of the most difficult zero-level witchcrafts, Shadow Grip, after several attempts, Richard was able to He has gradually mastered the trick.
With the blessing of a state of great inspiration, Richard soon successfully sketched out the first rune in his mind, and it only took more than ten attempts!
After the first rune was quickly sketched, Richard continued to sketch the second rune in his mind
. This time, it took much longer and he tried nearly a hundred times before he succeeded!
After a long time, the third rune was successfully outlined by Richard!
At this point, the witchcraft model of the slowness spell has been formed in his mind. What Richard needs to do now is to find a living creature, cast the slowness spell on it, and evaluate the effect of the witchcraft.
But when Richard looked around, it was empty and lonely, but there was not a single living thing.
Just when Richard was thinking about how great it would be if a few wolves came over to let him try the slowness technique, suddenly, the scene in front of him became blurry.
When it became clear again, he saw the shadows of three prairie wolves, grinning at him dozens of meters away.
hiss! The dream space actually has this function!
But that’s right, in dreams, of course, you can have whatever you want, but I don’t know if it will consume more energy points.
Immediately, Richard used the Slowing Technique towards the prairie wolf closest to him.
The Slowness Technique that had just been introduced often failed to be cast. After finally casting one, a black mist quickly enveloped the prairie wolf.
The prairie wolf's running speed was visible to the naked eye, but the magnitude was not very large. Richard estimated that the entry-level slowness technique only reduced the opponent's speed by about 20% to 30%.
Therefore, this time, in the dream, he still failed to outrun the prairie wolf, failure!
Fall down and get up again, keep trying!
Finally, after thousands of failures, Richard did it!
Before the three prairie wolves pounced on him, he gave them all the Slowness Technique, and then dragged them into their own fighting rhythm!
When Richard returned to his body again, he called up the panel and saw [Witchcraft] Slowness (58% proficiency)!
Richard was still very satisfied with this. Although 1,000 energy points was not a small amount, in comparison, being able to push the slowness technique to a proficient level was quite beyond his expectation.
It seems that the commonality of witchcraft has helped him save a lot of energy points!
Then comes the next piece of witchcraft.
[It was discovered that the host was performing the zero-level witchcraft bone and armor technique. Did/do you consume energy to obtain the inspiration for the zero-level witchcraft bone and armor technique? ]
[It was discovered that the host was casting a zero-level witchcraft dark element shield. Did/do you consume energy to gain inspiration for the zero-level witchcraft dark element shield? 】
After a long time, Richard stared at the information on the panel and fell into deep thought.
