Chapter 1360 Increased Burden
The first thing that caused something strange was the shocking patch of blood not far away that exuded a strange smell. That 'trace' was the one who tried to attack Futaba from behind, but the result was that However, after 'succeeding', a large-scale vacuum blade was exploded at close range, and the entire body was scraped into bloody foam by the attacker. However, the moment Futaba received the message from Mo Tan, the blood stain turned out to be It flew up as if coming to life, turned into a long scarlet whip and fell in the air, aiming directly at Futaba...the open space not far behind him.
At the same time, the three people beside Futaba, who were originally clumsy, had been almost destroyed by the invisible wind element fluctuations, and had no power to fight back. They speeded up instantly to compare with The one who had improved by at least 200% half a second ago spread out, neatly pulled out two flowing magic scrolls from his cuffs, and tore them open without hesitation.
The next moment, several rays of lavender hazy light spread out, directly covering a radius of 100 meters centered on the target of the bloody whip. Although it did not cause any damage, it directly destroyed it. Not only that, but as the light spread, the air in front of the bloody whip suddenly became distorted, and then Futaba's figure emerged.
As her expression gradually changed from joking to astonishment, the long whip with a cold aura had already been smashed down hard, directly creating a shallow pit where the girl was standing. .
You must know that this is the scope of the comprehensive library. Although it is only a shallow pit, if it were an ordinary street, the sound and light effect just now would have pushed the ground down at least several meters deep.
But this time, Futaba finally did not turn into nothingness and dissipate in the air in the same form as before. Instead, he held the staff in front of him with a rather solemn expression, and passed through several superimposed waves. High-level elemental magic withstood the blow. Not only that, she even instantly coated her body with a layer of pure earth elements. Her whole body was connected to the ground under her feet. Only then could she rely on the power of the earth. This round of impact was resolved.
The physical constitution of mages is weak... at least it is an indisputable fact that the vast majority of mages are physically weak. Futaba, who is a deadbeat outside the game, is no exception. Even if he is at the top of the rankings, but in terms of alone In terms of physical fitness, she is at best comparable to the character of 'Hei Fan', and even inferior to Yu Chen. Therefore, if the attack just now was successful, even if she had ten lives, she might not be enough to die.
However, Futaba did not let this situation happen. After all, she had always been able to view herself objectively. She knew very well that everyone would want to fight the spell caster in close combat, so she prepared countless means to distance herself. At the same time, she naturally has a large number of emergency plans, a large proportion of which are to deal with this situation.
"Pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger..."
Futaba, who had not released the connection with the ground beneath him. He was not tall in the first place, but now he was almost 1.4 meters below sea level because he was standing in the pit. The assassin smiled and said: "The fake death you just made was very interesting. Are those things rolled into pieces a substitute? Or is this the weapon in your hand? A whip?"
As expected, the other party did not He didn't answer, but silently swung the long whip back, and then swept it out again, reaching straight for the girl's slender waist.
"Well, if I guessed correctly, it should be a puppet, right?"
Futaba shook the staff gently, and summoned a crystal clear one out of thin air, exuding a cold air. The mage's hand grasped the long whip in the air, and while squinting at the white frost on the whip that was rapidly extending towards the end, he said with great interest: "The person who can change into a person and a whip feels better than us. The commonly used elemental puppets are much more advanced.”
The other party still didn’t answer, but let Futaba freeze his weapon completely, and then held it in his hands, and the python-like whip moved in an incredible way. Freed from the ice, to put it simply - shattered on the ground.
That's right, the long whip that seemed to be made of some kind of red joints shattered on the spot. Because the volume changed slightly during the process, it easily got rid of the layer of ice that had not been completely frozen, and then It floated up strangely and combined into a humanoid creature in front of Futaba. It looked very much like the pixel people we know, but it was only in life-size proportions.
“It’s so convenient.”
When the long whip shattered, Futaba dispersed the layer of earth elements on his body, and then he flew up again, rising to About two meters above the ground, he looked at the other three people not far away with his eyes: "Since you are together, the strength of those few should not be too different. Is that a lot? Is the ranger who was shot by me an ice gun uninjured?”
The other party still didn’t answer, but moved his fingers slightly, controlling the dark red pixel wind puppet. He leaped up, stretched out his 'limbs' that seemed to have no bones, and actually had no bones, and hugged the girl straight into the wind!
It is not difficult to imagine that with Futaba's petite and frail appearance, if she was hugged by that thing, all the bones in her body would be broken in the next second, and she would directly return to the login interface to rebuild her character. And was randomly randomly assigned to strange races such as 'Sand Goblins' and 'Ogres' countless times by some mysterious will.
It’s a pity——
“Actually, I’m not very opposed to killing girls in my arms.”
Lifting up the [Law Enforcer Qinglan] in his hand, he lightly used Five Marks The completely silent and instantaneous [High Frequency Sound Edge] cut off the head and limbs of the puppet. Futaba stuck out his tongue playfully: "But forget about this ugly puppet. If you want to hug me, At least he must be handsome...Eh?"
With a soft cry, the girl's figure suddenly rose up (not to grow taller, but to fly higher), and she hid dangerously. He fired a powerful arrow. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the puppet's limbs had been reattached and the evasive angle was blocked. He had no choice but to convert the staff in his hand into [Law Enforcer Black Rock]. , he blocked the next two sniper shots with three layers of [Charging Crystal Screen] that were instantly superimposed in front of him.
However, when the staff is no longer in the form of the wind element, only high-level Futaba cannot fly freely in mid-air like a winged family. Although it can carry out simple movements, Still, he was sent back to the ground by the impact of those two sniper shots!
And her landing spot happened to be formed by the three assassins who had just finished setting up the [Illusion Dismantling Barrier]. It could be said that she was in the center of a murderous circle!
“Don’t think that you can easily capture me like this~”
Futaba, whose perspective has already been locked on the entire combat area, naturally knows that the three people are waiting for him to come over, but his expressions are not the same. There was no panic at all, but as he flew out upside down, he released an earth elemental stone platform at the landing point to serve as a foothold, and then converted the attributes of the [Enforcer] again, seamlessly connecting to a high-level water attribute. The magic [Counter Current] tried to interfere with the three people's positions.
In fact, [Counter Current] is a small-scale attack magic similar to [Fire Dragon Pillar], but Futaba has now had a preliminary grasp of the strength of the second batch of attackers, so it is almost certain There is absolutely no chance that the opponent will be hit by such an attack that swings too far forward and is extremely predictable.
However, the opponent's reaction speed was also extremely fast. The three assassins wearing funny masks only used one move to calmly avoid the [countercurrent] while supporting the earth element platform. Point launched a precise strike, directly destroying its balance and throwing a difficult multiple-choice question into the target's hands.
The first option is to immediately use the earth element to repair the platform. This operation, let alone a top all-system mage like Futaba, can be done by many ordinary mages who specialize in earth magic, but the cost is that she has to complete the repair. In that second, there was no way to use methods like [Counter Flow] to interfere while distracted, so only about two more breaths of time were allowed.
You must know that although it is only the blink of an eye for ordinary people, in this level of life and death battle, even half a second of relaxation may directly cost your life.
The second option is to continue to put pressure on the three people, but in this case, Futaba's foothold will be forced from the completely collapsed earth element platform to the ground, and in the high and low When the difference is wiped out by at least one meter, the three melee professionals holding scimitars will have an advantage. There is no need to kill him immediately, he just needs to be restrained for a moment, and he can completely encircle the ranger companion who is responsible for sniping in the distance, and the companion who controls the puppet behind Futaba. The girl who can no longer hide her body with illusions no matter what. Even if they are strong, they will be defeated by their airtight offensive.
It is true that the opponent killed nineteen third-rate assassins of the same high-level peak within half a minute, but the reason why the third-rate assassins are third-rate is because their professional qualities are not comparable. How much stronger is it for an outsider? If nothing else, they just choose the seemingly safe way of advancing in groups, and therefore do not take advantage of the surprise attack, and dare to show up to a mage dozens of meters away, they will die unjustly. .
In a game with a mage, especially when the enemy is more powerful than the enemy, the most important thing is not to close the distance, but to disrupt the former's rhythm——
< br>The reason is very simple. Spellcasters such as mages, warlocks, and shamans are different from physical professions such as warriors, thieves, and rangers. Compared with the latter who can adjust the rhythm of combat at any time, spellcasters will be more affected by the rhythm. , why? Because spell casters... have to cast spells.
Although it looks like nonsense, it is actually not nonsense.
As we all know, in most cases, the fighting methods of physics professionals are basically based on their own strength, moves, and skills. However, for spell casters who cannot directly convert magic power into combat methods, It is said that how to better control external forces is the top priority.
Whether it is the elements controlled by mages, the evil energy used by warlocks, or the natural forces driven by shamans, they are strictly speaking an external force, so in actual combat, the caster Their requirements for rhythm are often higher than those of physics majors.
Shortening the distance itself is the biggest distraction, but in addition, there are many more clever methods.
For example, disrupt their scheduled arrangements, increase the battle rhythm and compress their thinking time.
It is true that many mages can complete instantaneous and silent spellcasting after practice makes perfect, but after all, such instantaneous and silent spells are not as good as just slapping them without saying anything. They need reaction time.
Perhaps a mage instinctively throws a fireball at you, and it takes about the same time as you instinctively slap him, but if this fireball is replaced by a fire dragon, fire wall, meteor fall, flame storm, etc. High-level spells are not that simple.
The foundation of instant spellcasting is to instinctively build a magic model and directly enter the process of element conversion, while the principle of silent spellcasting is to omit auxiliary means including but not limited to chanting, gestures, etc. through proficiency. , which is a lightweight alternative to the former.
And these all require a thinking process, and the so-called instantaneous is always relative.
Under this premise, as long as you can successfully disrupt the rhythm of the spellcaster, maintain the threat and always create 'unexpected situations' for the opponent, then even the most powerful mage will have its combat effectiveness dropped by a level. .
We can simply understand it as - trying to make the other party's mind unable to turn around.
The warrior's brain cannot turn around and he still has instinct and muscle memory. The mage's brain cannot turn around and he has to wait for death.
To sum up, the reason why the main attribute of spell casters in many games is ‘intelligence’ is because mages are more powerful as their brains are used.
In other words, it's up to someone with a slower response. In front of this group of funny people who no longer pretend to be their true strength and start preparing to kill their targets, even if they have an advantage in strength, they will have to open up a big gap between the former and the others. I'm afraid there is a narrow escape before reaching the rank.
Unfortunately, Futaba is different.
Although the theory is indeed such a theory, Futaba, who is a mage and cannot recite the skill name silently to cast the spell like other players, will indeed be affected, but this impact... To be honest, there is really no What does it do?
Let’s put it this way, just as the assassins expected, Futaba did have to put in extra energy to think about the ever-changing situation, but the problem is that this level of thinking puts an unlimited burden on her. approaches zero.
It's like Futaba is a computer with extremely high configuration, and the other party's goal is to make it overheat and cause system errors. The idea is quite beautiful, but the reality is that under their joint operation, this This computer is perfectly compatible with computers running most high-end software, and its load has just changed from playing Minesweeper to dual-player Minesweeper.
Has the load increased? There is no doubt that it has increased, but this still cannot get around the fact.
The fact that this machine doesn’t even bother to turn the fan.
The next moment, three scimitars passed wildly from the girl's throat, heart, and both sides.
The blade is not stained with any blood...
