Chapter 201: The Second Stage of Training
That was the end of the matter about Carody, and Rhodes quickly put the matter aside. Because it doesn't really matter to him, at least not for now. There is another thing that Rhodes is more worthy of his concern, that isβββ after the training of Marlene and others after several days of high-intensity training (or torture is also possible), Marlene and others have gradually become accustomed to those memory mirror attacks, although they are still unable to defend against the opponent's attacks, but that is only the gap in experience and the mastery of skills, this can only be done slowly. So Rod was very decisive to help them and quickly jumped to the second stage.
And when everyone came to the training ground and planned to continue training, they were surprised to find that Rode, who had not appeared for a while, was standing in front of them.
"I've seen your performance these days, and you're doing well."
Hearing Rod's words, everyone's expressions were a little embarrassed, they were different from Rod, they didn't feel any progress at all, they were beaten to death every day, and they looked like rookies, which is also called good?
"I think you already have some understanding of combat."
However, Rod didn't pay attention to their expressions, and continued to speak.
"So next, we're going to move on to the second phase."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but glance at each other curiously, and they all saw each other's excitement, confusion, anticipation, and uneasiness. The first stage made them so miserable, and what will become of them in the second stage?
But it seems that Rhodes did not intend to explain the problem to everyone, instead, he just activated the Orb of Mystery, and then, the white space and five figures appeared in front of everyone again.
"Today we're going to do it differently."
Rod said as he walked to the side, then he reached out and pointed at Joey.
"Joey."
"Hey, Captain. Here it comes. β
Hearing his name, the young thief immediately ran out and looked at Rhodes with an expectant smile.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Today I'm going to change your opponent, you go and deal with her."
As he spoke, Rhodes pointed to the very proud little girl in the mirror image of his memory. And seeing the direction of his finger, everyone was stunned.
A spirit master?
It is well known that the spellcasting class is at a disadvantage to sneak classes like Thieves. If this girl's strength is higher than Joey's, then it will definitely win against him. But now that the strength of both sides in this space is about the same, can the other party really dodge the attack of the thieves?
In the face of the puzzled eyes of the others, Rhodes didn't explain anything, he just asked the others to watch, and then announced the start.
"Fight!"
Although I don't know the true intentions of Rod. However, Joey gritted his teeth, and then quickly shook his body and entered a latent state. And at this moment, Joey's eyes suddenly widened in surprise, not only him, but even Lando on the side, couldn't help but say "hey".
As Joey's partner, Lando certainly knows what Joey's stealth skills are. As a thief, he did a decent job. But that's just it. But the sneaking movement just now was so smooth, like flowing water, this was definitely not something that Joey could do before, this was almost close to the level of a powerful thief!
And the reason why Joey has such progress is naturally inseparable from the training he has been training these days, although he seems to be beaten very embarrassed, but in the face of the opponent's attacks again and again, he is still trying to use his skills and abilities to dodge the opponent's attacks. Although because those memory mirrors are too powerful, they still give them the illusion that their strength has not improved. But Rod, who has been following them, is well aware. If you list their strength in numbers now, then their growth is almost a straight upward trend. β¦,
Although this space itself cannot be upgraded by everyone. It can only improve the proficiency of skills, but the training ground itself has a training bonus, and now Rhodes is actually practicing these aborigines as players. It doesn't matter if your level is not high, as long as your skill proficiency is high, the level can be slowly increased in the future, but of course, the sooner you master this kind of thing, the better. And because the phantom space limits the user's experience, the bonus of the training ground can only affect their skill proficiency, and the oppression of the memory mirror prompts them to continue to train repeatedly, and the effect achieved is naturally not the same.
It's like those athletes who practice long-distance running with weights on their backs, when they run with heavy sandbags, they naturally feel that they can't get fast, but when they become proficient, when they remove the weights, their performance will immediately improve to a higher level.
This is exactly the case with Joey now, he didn't notice his progress under the pressure of the mirror image before, but now, he finally found that he was no longer what he used to be. The techniques that had once made him so careful to concentrate were now so easy to retract as easily as breathing.
There is a door!
Feeling this, Joey immediately became excited, he held the dagger in his hand and quietly touched the other party. The girl did not seem to be aware of the thief's coming, she only gave herself a shield as usual, and then stood there bored, as if she were in a daze.
"Is that really okay?"
Lijie watched the situation in the field, and there were some doubts in her heart, she couldn't see Joey's figure, and she didn't know how to deal with it, at least for Lijie, she didn't have any way. It's not uncommon to cast a guardian shield on yourself, and every spirit master does it before the battle begins. But what next? Is it really useful to face a thief's sneak attack?
The girl still stood still, fiddling with her fingers in boredom, she didn't attack as soon as she did with Lijie, and she didn't know if it was because she couldn't find the thief's location, or because of some other reason.
But Joey didn't think about these questions either, he suddenly appeared behind the girl, and the dagger in his hand immediately stabbed at the girl!
"Ding!!"
With a crisp sound, the guardian shield on the girl's body flashed and disappeared in an instant. And this situation was also expected by Joey, he did not stop because of this, on the contrary, the dagger in the other hand also quickly slashed at this moment and stabbed over!
But at this time, a sudden change surprised everyone.
A dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of Joey, blocking his vision, and the young thief reacted quickly, he knew that this was the other party's trick, but Joey did not retreat, because he knew very well that the spirit master did not have a weapon, even if he wanted to retreat, it should be the other party. In his opinion, this flash was just a temptation for the girl to distance herself, so she shouldn't be fooled at all, but continue to step forward!
But at this moment, Joey suddenly felt a hard touch coming from his left hand.
"Ding!"
What's going on?
Faced with this strange reaction, Joey was stunned for a moment, could it be that the girl cast another layer of guardian shield on herself? However, the thief's hesitation did not last, he quickly reacted and attacked again, but this time, he was still blocked.
This is impossible, this is not scientific! Could it be that girl who was able to cast a shield on herself in a matter of seconds?
With this question in mind, Joey continued to probe that he didn't believe that the girl was really so powerful that she could seize the gap between her attacks and cast the shield of protection. And even if she could, what's the point? Casting the Guardian Shield requires the consumption of soul power, and with so much power consumed in a short period of time, is there still a way for her to fight with herself? β¦,
And when the light faded and the young thief saw what he saw again, he couldn't help but be surprised.
The girl was still standing in front of him, motionless, she did not cast the guardian shield again and again, as the thief thought, on the contrary, the girl was whispering a powerful incantation, judging by the light condensed in her hand, it was clear that the girl had been preparing for this spiritual spell for a long time.
How is this possible? I've been attacking her, and it's impossible for her not to be affected in any way!
Taken aback at this, Joey attacked again, but this time, his dagger still hit the hard shield and bounced back. And only then did Joey realize that around him, a golden barrier was enveloping him!
"This is the Wall of Protection!"
Seeing this scene, Lijie couldn't help but scream.
The Wall of Guardian is an advanced version of the Guardian Shield, which is more protective, but it has a flaw, that is, it cannot follow the user's movement like the Guardian Shield, as the name suggests, it is a wall that protects people from attacks from the outside, but conversely, the people inside cannot attack the outside. Now Lijie has also learned this skill, but she doesn't use it often, because for spirit masters, this skill is still better not to use unless the team encounters a very dangerous situation. After all, it has too many restrictions, and it is not as convenient as the Guardian Shield.
But now, the girl has made a move that Li Jie didn't expect at all, she actually put the wall of protection on the enemy's body!
What's going on?
Before Lijie could figure it out, the spells in the girl's hands were finally gathered, and at the same time, she lifted the protection of the Wall of Guardians.
Brilliant and colorful mana roared out, and for thieves with little defense, there was only one end for them.........
Looking at Joey, who was blown out of the air, everyone was silent, but Rhodes didn't think so, he just looked up, and then stretched out his hand.
"Next, Marlene, you go deal with her."
As he spoke, Rhodes reached out and pointed in the direction of the shield warrior.
