Chapter 20: Violence passes
But what's even worse is yet to come.
That's not words, it's pure system prompts.
"[Fluid Dynamics] and [Introduction to HVAC] were detected. Thermal knowledge is being read...... The so-called air conditioner is the process of transporting heat from one space to another. Spell model optimization...... Optimized. When you launch the [Ice Arrow], you can instantly evacuate the heat between you and the target by extracting the fire element in advance, creating an ice channel suitable for the passage of frozen energy. ”
"You've acquired the super magic specialty [Ice Trail] of the Elemental Spell Ice Classification. Your shooting ice spell power is increased by 33%, and the ice arrow flies 45% faster, if you want to get more specializations, please give more reference data to the system. ”
"Based on the detected knowledge, you changed the scattering pattern of [Blizzard]. Your Blizzard spell gains a special mode that increases attack radius by 40% and reduces power by 20%. ”
Like an old-fashioned mobile phone that has received a thousand text messages in one go, the fluorescent green text that pops up on the retina almost drives Duke crazy. The brain has been forcibly instilled with a lot of knowledge, whether it is the knowledge of spells after the time travel, or the knowledge that has been learned in the university before the time travel, but has been forgotten.
The so-called university is just a place to play games for Duke.
The exam or something is to 'retake' the course for three days before the exam, and then forget all about it after the exam.
He never thought that the knowledge that should have been forgotten by him would be perfectly called up by the system elves at this moment...... It turns out that these things that seem to have been forgotten are actually still stored in my brain.
While Duke was meditating, before he knew it, the sand in the hourglass had leaked.
The scene in front of me changed.
Duke suddenly realized that he was on top of the chessboard, but the board was magnified several times, and he was just standing on the edge of a white square. On the other side of the lattice three meters away, there was a young mage apprentice with a public face.
Seeing the appearance of the other party, Duke immediately realized that this guy was his opponent.
As if taking care of Duke, a novice, the other party began to hold back the cold arrows.
Please forgive Duke for using the word 'suffocation' to describe his opponent. That guy is really like constipation, and he can't hold it back.
Successfully releasing a spell is not so simple, a standard spell casting process, in addition to the corresponding spell, but also to invoke the magic power in the body, communicate with the corresponding elemental world, and attract the corresponding amount of energy. Later, we will talk about this energy being shaped into a suitable form and released.
Even if this process has been specially simplified, basically as long as the spiritual power is enough, it can communicate with the elemental world and attract enough elemental energy, it will automatically stop absorbing and shape the energy.
But it was still very difficult for an apprentice who knew almost nothing about magic to do this.
Therefore, it is understandable that the other party deliberately set aside time for Duke.
Duke didn't appreciate it.
With the help of the System Elf, Duke already knew that if the other party was a real mage apprentice, then this guy had already failed to cast a spell for the third time in just two seconds. The first two times were failures to communicate with the elemental realm, and the third time was that the elemental energy was absorbed too little.
That little bit of cold energy is not enough to make a popsicle.
Duke gave this guy a ride.
A horse step forward left hook, right hook, call it a day!
In the Magic Academy, more than a dozen mage powers who were watching the battle in front of a huge 'oil painting' showing Duke's battle situation were dumbfounded.
Looking at Duke, who beat his opponent into a pig's head with his fist, he was smug, and the audience was deadly silent.
It took a while for someone to speak.
"This ...... This is simply a desecration of this magic temple!" An old mage waved his fist angrily: "Norton! this is the most talented student in this class of mage apprentices!?"
Old man Norton was about to say something, when suddenly, a voice came.
Duke Marcus made the right choice. You've been protected by melee followers for a long time, and perhaps this has made you forget something...... It is extremely dangerous for a mage to use spells that take too long to cast against an enemy when they are not at a distance. ”
The old mage was silent.
In the second level, Duke's opponent was clearly more than one level higher.
Under the control of the raven, the opponent can already unleash a [Ice Arrow] spell in its entirety. And the distance between the two sides has also been widened from 3 meters to 10 meters, but this is still not difficult for Duke.
Because the opponent's cast time is up to 8 seconds!
Enough for Duke to jokingly, almost trot in front of the opponent, easily dodging the opponent's attack. No way, looking at the obvious throwing posture, Duke dodged with a horizontal step, and then, Duke used his fists again to teach this guy to be a man.
In front of the 'oil painting', the old mage looked at the mage who spoke for Duke just now: "How do you explain this time?"
The other party was unmoved: "No matter how strong the spell is, it will be useless if you can't hit the enemy." ”
"......" The other party said so reasonably, the old mage was speechless.
However, even though the opponent's casting speed in each of the third, fourth, and fifth levels was increasing, and Duke used the same means to get it done, not only the old mage, but several mages were dissatisfied.
"Hey, we're recruiting mage apprentices now! we're not playing a simulated battle between mages and thieves!"
When the mage was almost unable to defend Duke, Duke made a move on the sixth level.
Level 1 [Ice Arrow]!
Extremely effective!
Outsiders look at the bustle, insiders look at the doorway.
Obviously, it is an ordinary [Ice Arrow] spell model, why is the Ice Arrow shot by Duke so terrifying?
In the eyes of most full-fledged mages, Duke's ability to punch a knots of ice that could fly through the air was remarkable, at least it was good enough.
Comprehending a simplified spell model and using it in a very hasty manner is a medium difficulty that only a mage who has tried it knows.
Mages here, who didn't practice thousands of times before they realized the power of the elements before throwing out such a small piece of ice slag?
But what is Duke's Ice Arrow?
Fast, accurate, ruthless!
Its flight speed is completely comparable to the speed of the arrows shot by the strong bow, not to mention, it also hit the opponent's eyebrows straight, and the ice arrow that hit the bridge of the nose between the eyes, Huo Ran split into two pieces at the moment of hit, and pierced into the opponent's eyeballs fiercely.
Perhaps Duke's Ice Arrow itself was not powerful enough, and that level of freezing gas was not enough to kill an adult, but Duke added physical damage to the mere elemental damage...... If the other party is a real person, then he has been killed by Duke in seconds at this moment.
"Hiss" In the entire room watching Duke's trial, more than a dozen mages present gasped in unison.
There is only one word that pops up in my mind: genius!
