The Truth of Magic - Chapter 598
598 The primitive combination, the power of violence
In reality, a refined and scholarly-looking mage and a muscular and powerful barbarian should not have any sort of relationship.
But Zhao Xu, who had so many potential points, had simply cast too many spells on himself.
Logically speaking, a level 10 wizard would only have a few dozen spell slots, so Zhao Xu should have been able to finish them in less than three minutes.
!!
Therefore, when he was free, he would cast the 3rd Circle ‘energy protection’ on himself, which made him immune to elemental damage.
Then, he would use Supreme magic control, which would cause attribute damage, to ” delay ” or ” last ” the spells.
The reason why Zhao Xu was considered a similar ” barbarian ” by a rather experienced barbarian player was mainly because of a spell sequence called ” primitive combination.
Similar to the ” unicorn combination ” spell, once the spells were buffed on the body at the same time, they would form a kind of overlapping resonance and produce a new effect.
The legendary original four-piece set that Zhao Xu was using was a spell that would last for 24 hours.
Zhao Xu had delayed it for exactly two days, so he didn’t hesitate to use it.
The first spell was ” primordial Hunter, ” which was also a 2nd-circle divine spell for Druids, a 2nd-circle arcane spell for warlocks, and a 1st-circle divine spell for Rangers. It just so happened to not be in the mage list (Druid 2 spells 2 Patrol 1).
And once the primordial Hunter spell was cast, his muscles would swell up with the memory of his ancestor’s power, returning him to the time when his ancestors struggled to survive.
Therefore, climbing, jumping, and swimming skills would give A +5 performance bonus.
The second was ” primitive instinct ” (Druid 3 spells 3 rounds 2). After casting, the blue-white energy Ring penetrated from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, and then disappeared after returning to his head.
The spell summoned the innate primitive power in his body, allowing him to obtain the instincts of his ancestors. In terms of attack and survival, he received A +5 performance bonus.
The third was ” primordial senses ” (three rounds of four spells). After casting the spell, his eyes seemed to have become as translucent as a cat’s eyes. They shone brightly for a while before gradually becoming invisible.
This spell summoned the original power of creation, allowing him to obtain the senses of his ancestors. He obtained ” low light vision ” and the ” listen ” and ” inspect ” skills, which all gave him +5 performance bonuses.
The last one was ” original speed ” (6 German Spells 6 rounds 4). After casting the spell, a series of flames flew out from his shoulder, poured to the ground, and stuck to his limbs.
This spell summoned his innate hunter and prey’s natural reflex ability, which increased his reflex immunity by 5 levels and enhanced his speed.
This also allowed Zhao Xu’s starry cloak to have a higher chance of reflecting and dodging, and it allowed him to avoid all physical damage with 100% certainty.
Just looking at these four spells alone was enough, but the key was that as long as Zhao Xu had two of these four spells cast on him at the same time, he would be able to get the level 2 Barbarian Skill and the Level 4 rogue skill ‘Danger Sense’.
This special ability allowed him to make the relevant response before he realized the danger. He could have an advantage when he was caught off guard or when facing invisible enemies, and he could exert the power of his own agility.
If he could cast four spells at the same time, he would be able to obtain the level 5 barbarian class ability ‘Danger Sense proficiency’. From then on, he would not be pincered by others and could easily deal with enemies in the opposite direction. Therefore, the Rogues could no longer rely on a pincer attack to sneak attack him.
It wouldn’t have been a big deal if there were only these four spells, but Zhao Xu had also tried out the spell, berserk, which required him to focus.
This 2nd-circle divine spell could only increase his strength and Constitution by 2 points. It was one level weaker than the original berserk skill, which had 4 points, so Zhao Xu rarely tried it.
As for the fifth-circle Divine Art, ” courage rage, ” it was a genuine +4 attribute, and it was a rage without any side effects.
However, after casting the spell version of ” rage, ” his bare arms were scarred. Not to mention, he now had 43 strength and 19 Constitution, which was one of the strongest barbarians in Arthur.
Only some of the Barbarian class mythic monsters could surpass him.
So, when combined with the “original combination” that gave him the aura of a barbarian, it wasn’t surprising that Zhao Xu was considered a barbarian.
Strictly speaking, a level 20 barbarian had the abilities of ‘flying gait’,’ ultimate rage'( 6 times), trap perception +6, damage reduction 5/-, strong will, and intuition evasion.
Zhao Xu was able to simulate almost all of them with his spells.
He was more like a barbarian than a barbarian.
this was a wizard’s “wide area” foundation, and it was an ability that zhao xu had gained after he had dug out the “height” of his abilities.
“I’m not a barbarian.”
Zhao Xu just smiled and shook his head.
He had nothing to show off in his own camp. It was too low and low-level.
Now, even if he didn’t have such thoughts in his heart, the entire upper echelons of Yanan, in the face of the world of Arthur, which was still under feudal rule and still had powerful theocracy, had already tacitly acknowledged the concept of ” all the land under the sky is the king’s land, and all the subjects on the shore of the land are the king’s subjects. they more or less felt that they were the subjects of Midsummer.
Even if Zhao Xu didn’t publicly admit it, most of the residents of Yanan would subconsciously think that Yanan was the country of Midsummer.
This was something that couldn’t be erased through citizenship education and Democratic awareness.
When he heard Zhao Xu’s answer, the Barbarian player, who had been very excited, suddenly looked embarrassed. However, he still very enthusiastically invited Zhao Xu up and used his body as a template to tell the students below about the characteristics of barbarians and to explain the specific training methods.
At this moment, Zhao Xu could also observe how the players were teaching in person. This could also be considered an investigation.
Therefore, he didn’t resist at all. He acted as a ” barbarian ” template and cooperated with the teaching.
He just lacked a script to write a “incognito visit” for him.
As for the students below, they were thinking about the Barbarian profession’s most crucial and important profession ability-berserk.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the Barbarian teacher on the stage to show them.
“Everyone, don’t be anxious.”
At this moment, the Barbarian mentor was amazed by the strong muscle lines on Zhao Xu’s body and secretly guessed that he was a warrior player with 18 points in both strength and physique. He couldn’t help but feel bad for Zhao Xu.
Even if a player registered an account on the first day and had 32 talent points, if they wanted to increase their attribute to 18 points, they would have to pay the expensive price of exchanging three talents for one attribute point.
Strength and physique were both at 18 points, which meant that the remaining thoughts were at 8 points.
Low charm, low perceptive sense, low agility, low intelligence, almost enough to be called a disabled person. He was just a simple-minded big guy.
The Barbarian player looked at Zhao Xu’s vigorous movements and thought to himself that he must have some equipment that increased his agility. He turned his head around and explained to the students.
“everyone, don’t think that going berserk is a child’s play. first of all, when you master this ability at level 1, you only have one chance to go berserk per day. From now on, the number will increase every four levels, until level 20, the maximum number is six.”
As the Barbarian player’s loud voice rang out, even the students who practiced other classes slowly came closer to listen.
Knowing the barbarian’s special abilities and obtaining information on their abilities meant that they could be targeted in the future.
“A few moments ago, when I was fighting the undead creatures, I activated my ‘rage’ ability. My strength and Constitution both increased by 4 points, and my will immunity also increased by 2 ranks, while my defense dropped by about 2 ranks.”
as we all know, there are very few ways to increase attributes. This is also the reason why players are now in high positions. Even if they don’t have professional abilities, they are still in the ‘superhuman’ realm by relying on their attributes. That’s why the 8 attribute points, strength to enhance melee damage, vitality to enhance life and immunity, often determine the scale of victory, and that’s why we Barbarians are known as the most explosive melee class at the lower levels.”
Everyone who heard this seemed to be attracted by this barbarian teacher’s words.
The workers who were listening at the side couldn’t help but think of how brave they would be in certain aspects if they had 4 points of physique and strength.
Immediately, many men revealed a smile of understanding.
In an instant, the Barbarian player poured cold water on everyone. but I have to tell you the weakness of berserk-”
“It can’t last long.”
“So you can stop laughing. let’s not talk about the fact that We Barbarians can’t use skills that are related to charm, agility, and intelligence except for balance, escape, intimidation, and riding when we go berserk. We can’t use any skills that require patience and concentration. You can’t even use a magic wand, let alone cast a spell. This can be fatal sometimes.”
Everyone below the stage nodded in agreement.
The fierceness of a mage could be seen just by looking at the profession of the first person on earth.
moreover, the duration of berserk is physique adjustment plus three rounds, so 18 physique only takes 42 seconds for seven rounds, not even a minute. Not to mention that after the berserk, we will become tired, and our strength and agility will drop by 2 points. We will also be unable to sprint or run. Therefore, We Barbarians can only use the berserk ability once in an encounter.”
“This is also the reason why I only have one berserk ability left.”
As he said this, everyone who was obsessed with the charm of violence suddenly came to a realization.
I thought it was going to destroy the heavens and earth. I didn’t expect it to be just a tall man for a few dozen seconds and then a wilted man.
this is too embarrassing. This berserk is just flooding.
Just as the Barbarian players were about to retort, a man in a militia uniform suddenly ran over and shouted, ” Mr. Tetsuo, these are your Recovery supplies. Please use them, and I’ll pass them on to the next person.
As he spoke, the man handed over a lesser rejuvenation wand.
Zhao Xu also glanced at the Barbarian players. It was quite rare for them to use their game IDs to enter the official rank of Yannan. Most of them would just register their real names and then note down their game IDs.
Little did he know that the Barbarian Iron Man touched his head awkwardly. my real name is Iron Man.
Then, he skillfully waved the “wand” that was as green as a branch that had just been plucked from the tree. He also said to the students below, ” “Everyone saw that I was injured in the battle just now.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the wound on his body that had been bandaged and was still bleeding.
Fortunately, the skills of the doctors on earth were not lost. Most of them were directly converted into actual ” Medical ” skills, so first aid on the battlefield was not a serious problem.
everyone knows that Arthur has healing spells. Even if you’re about to die from a massive bleeding wound, as long as it’s not a broken limb, you can be saved by different levels of ‘heal x’. This is something that modern medicine, which we’re so proud of, can’t compare with. We have to admit that magic is powerful in this aspect.”
“Unfortunately, Arthur isn’t like the games you play, where a four-man team is equipped with a priest. Even if there was such a standard equipment, there wouldn’t be enough healing spell slots. That’s why most of the time, we can’t immediately recover our health when we get injured. most people can only rely on lying on their beds to recuperate, recovering 1-2HP a day, and struggle on at death’s door.”
“But now, it’s different.” The Barbarian teacher raised his wand, even though he had used it before.
but it couldn’t stand the fact that it was free now!
“This is the recovery item that our Yanan gave to the battle participants-the secondary rejuvenation wand. Using it was like receiving the effect of a 1st circle divine spell,’lesser rejuvenation’. After 10+x rounds (x= spellcaster level, maximum level 5), I will gain the ability ‘quick healing 1’. ”
in other words, it will automatically recover 1 HP per round. So this wand can restore 11 hp every time. After two times, my HP is full.”
“I’m telling you this because the market price of this wand is 750 gold coins, and it can be used 50 times. This method can only restore HP after the battle. It costs 15 gold coins each time, and in the process of recovering 11 HP in 11 seconds, the price for every 1 HP is 1.36 gold coins.”
At this moment, the students below and the surrounding craftsmen all took a deep breath.
They didn’t even earn 1 gold coin a day, which was the same even in other countries in Arthur.
A trained hire was paid 3 silver coins a day, and those who had not received training were even paid 1 silver coin a day.
” speaking of 1.36 gold coins for 1 hp, you guys finally know how to feel the pain. you’ve been working hard for a month and still can’t afford the price of a rejuvenation spell. ” the barbarian player looked at everyone with a smug expression.
Then, he waved his wand and began to remove the ” bandages ” on his body, instantly revealing the bloody wounds caused by the undead creatures ‘attacks.
Under the illumination of the ” green light ” stimulated by magic, these wounds closed up on the spot, and even the scars closed and fell off on the spot.
The process of shedding and growing new skin, which originally took more than a month, was completed in a short minute. It was even more magical than the best cosmetic suture in the hospital.
on the battlefield, you can’t wait for more than a minute for these 11 rounds. If you need to recover your health urgently, you can only drink potions.
As he spoke, the Barbarian player took out a small glass bottle that he had kept well from his pocket and shouted, ” this bottle of ‘light wound healing potion’ can instantly recover 2 to 9HP (1d8 +1), but it’s priced at 50 gold coins, which means that the price for every 1 HP is 5.5 to 25 gold coins.
but if you don’t use the lesser rejuvenation wand after the battle, you’ll have to lie in bed for a month before you can take any risks. If you don’t drink this healing potion during the battle, you might lie there forever.
At this moment, the Barbarian player Iron Man revealed a meaningful smile. adventuring is essentially burning money. Are you guys really mentally prepared to become professionals? ”
As he spoke, steel dude noticed that Zhao Xu hadn’t paid much attention to the ” precious resources of the battlefield ” healing potion in his hands. He knew that Zhao Xu definitely had some good stuff, so he went over and whispered, ” buddy, even if you die, you still have something good in this area. Why don’t you show it to these newbies? ”
