Chapter 16 Spell slot? what is that
"Arcane Missiles!"
"Uh-huh!"
[Mission: Defeat the gangsters 2/5]
Another gangster was hit hard by a missile and passed out with a scream.
The two gangsters who had "survived" were instantly ecstatic.
"The boss said it! He has run out of spell slots!"
"He's finished! The reward is coming!"
The boss who was barely standing in the distance, leaning on a wooden stick, also showed a proud expression: "Where did you come from as a rookie? Even if you are a mage, what if you dare to act alone? This will let you know how dangerous the lower city is!"
The strong man can be the leader among the five, and he must be much more knowledgeable than the other gangsters.
He had personally seen a few mage professionals in the gang before, and the power of the spells they released was indeed huge.
Whether it's ice arrows, fireballs or missiles, as long as it hits, it can basically instantly make the opponent lose their combat effectiveness.
However, the physique of mages is too fragile, so every time they need mages to take action, they will definitely bring enough subordinates around them to provide protection to prevent being surprised.
What's more, due to the limitation of spell slots, the number of spells available per day is limited. Most of the low-level mages that the gangs in the lower city can recruit will be used as a means of intimidation or beheading.
As long as he appears in the battle, the enemy leader will be on tenterhooks because he may be "decapitated" by a spell at any time.
Correspondingly, once a mage is alone, with no one around to protect him, and all available spell slots are used up that day, he will be in a very dangerous situation.
When the leading strong man confirmed the identity of Pet's spell caster, he made a decisive decision to use the "human sea tactic" to drown him.
If Peter was a traditional mage who believed in the goddess of magic, and there were five gangsters here, it would indeed be the most appropriate way to swarm them.
Sacrifice a few unlucky ghosts, use up all his spell slots, and then end up being at the mercy of others!
Unfortunately, a few hours ago, Pat was no longer the most loyal believer of the goddess of magic.
"I, Petchinar, have always been the most devout believer in Novin, the god of knowledge!"
"Who is the goddess of magic? I'm so unfamiliar!"
"In what age are you still working as a traditional mage!"
After firing [Arcane Missile] three times, Peter still looked energetic and kept moving his hands. In the blink of an eye, the fourth [Arcane Missile] was condensed and formed!
"ArcaneMissiles!"
Immediately afterwards, Peter chanted the spell again!
"ArcaneMissiles!"
"Bang! Bang!"
[Mission: Defeat the gangsters 4/5]
The four men fell neatly to the ground and fell into a not-so-peaceful sleep.
The leading strong man was dumbfounded at this time.
When he saw the fourth purple missile shot out, he already realized that something was wrong. By the time the fifth [Arcane Missile] took shape, his mouth was already wide enough to fit a duck egg.
"You, you, you! Me, me, me!!! No! What's going on!!"
The strong man's first reaction was: He made a mistake!
A first-level mage only has three opportunities to cast first-level spells every day;
If you can advance to the second level, you will have one more spell slot that can be used to release second-level spells.
But even if the level 2 spell slots are used to release the level 1 [Arcane Missiles], there are only four chances to use them all!
During the spell casting, Peter did not use any magic scrolls or magic props that he had reserved in advance. He chanted the spells himself to release them! 5 casts!
It means that the opponent is at least a third-level spell caster!
The strong man’s second reaction was: He is going to be finished!
Third-level spellcasters can live a decent life even in the upper town of Greenport, which is completely different from those "downtowners".
The strong man felt like he was sweating profusely.
"Sir, no, sir, what about that, please listen to my explanation. Do you believe me when I say I was joking with you..."
Seeing Pat walking over leisurely step by step, and holding the sixth completed [Arcane Missile] in his hand, three purple missiles were circling regularly in a small area, dragging out a beautiful purple trajectory.
Pete felt like he had never felt so good!
In the baron's manor in his hometown, although the maids and guards were also afraid of him, that was because he was the son of a baron. His status as a noble meant that servants and commoners did not dare to offend him.
When you come to Greenport, the nobles of the Kingdom of Reyak have no control over this place. There are guys from all races on the continent here, and you can even see swaggering ogre bodyguards, dark elf technicians, etc. on the street.
He had no fighting ability. For the sake of his own safety, Pet originally planned to get the third-level spellcaster certification in Caron for three years and then go back to continue his life as a noble heir. Therefore, he had never experienced fighting with real swordsmen. Dry frame.
This time, he relied on his own strength and defeated five gangsters head-on without the protection of others!
“So the combat experience of a mage is so good! It’s great!”
This feeling of just standing there and chanting spells comfortably, and then "calling out" the enemies one by one and knocking them down one by one, was a novel experience that Pete had never had before!
Peter was not the high-level spellcaster that the strong man had guessed. His true strength was still at the level of a second-level mage, and he still had three first-level spell slots and one second-level spell slot.
As for the reason for breaking through the spell slot limit and releasing the level 1 spell [Arcane Missile] multiple times?
The answer is simple.
"Thank you! Great God of Knowledge!"
When Pett completed the spellcasting of [Hadar's Hunger], he discovered the huge difference between the magic release method given by Noven and the mage who believed in the goddess of magic. Now he just confirmed it again.
Traditional mage's magic needs to be recorded in the spell book in advance. There is a limit on spell slots every day. Once the number of spell slots is exhausted, the spell cannot be cast.
The same magic can be released using Noven's method, and there is no so-called spell slot limit at all!
Pate could feel that when the magic was released, it consumed his mental energy. Every time he used [Arcane Missile], he would become slightly tired, feeling sleepy and in need of rest.
But compared to the few spell slots of a traditional mage, casting spells at the cost of mental power is undoubtedly much richer!
[Arcane Missile] is just a basic level 1 spell and does not consume much mental energy.
According to Bate's estimation, in his current state, he can release [Arcane Missile] at least 10 times in a row and still maintain his sanity, instead of being able to release [Hadar's Hunger] in one shot like he did at that time. Dry mental energy fell directly into coma.
If he casts enough spells and is far enough away from the enemy, no matter how many enemies come, he will knock them down one by one!
The strong man tried to put on a flattering smile on his face, but his smile turned out to be uglier than crying.
"Sir, can you just treat me like a piece of shit? I promise I will never appear in your presence again..."
Peter was about to speak.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang.
A piece of wet stone brick covered with moss hit the strong man on the back of the head hard. The strong man didn't even make a sound and passed out on the spot.
[Mission: Defeat the gangster 5/5]
【The mission has been completed! 】
Peter was stunned when he saw the young girl Reina who had just completed a vicious "backstab" behind the strong man without any sound and still held the stone brick in her hand.
"ah?"
