Chapter 20 Double Click
Faced with Ronan's "charge", the wizard remained calm and even smiled, seemingly speechless at Ronan's performance.
Ronan was only halfway through the charge before he remembered that the general way of fighting for wizards was to spread themselves as far as possible to leave enough casting distance for themselves, and then throw spells at each other. It was rare for him to rush forward like this.
He is a complete rookie, but he can't care about so much at this time.
[Charged Weapon] requires close combat to be effective. Unless he gets closer, he can only be used as a target.
"Find an opportunity to fuck him while he is casting spells and chanting spells!"
Ronan had a clear idea, but he was almost dumbfounded the next second.
The wizard raised his hand casually, and a ring on the ring finger of his left hand flashed, followed by a transparent light curtain rising quickly, protecting his entire body.
"Depend on!"
Ronan couldn't help but curse.
"Protective equipment?!"
No wonder you are not afraid of "taking advantage of a weak spot" at all. It turns out that you have already made preparations.
The magic tools with protective capabilities must be zero-level and intermediate at worst, because the most common [protection] runes are zero-level and intermediate.
Can a third-level wizard apprentice like him break through the protective power of a zero-level intermediate magic tool?
Ronan didn’t know, but everyone was already halfway there, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"Woo!"
After rushing within about five meters of the wizard, Ronan raised his right hand and spit out a short syllable.
In an instant, the dormant spiritual power in his mind became like suddenly boiling water, vibrating rapidly following a certain frequency.
Expert level.
【Energy Missile】!
When Ronan was chanting a curse and raising his hand, the wizard under the protective light shield still had a mocking look on his face.
When a short syllable fell, a large number of energy particles surged, the air was distorted, and a dark blue light ball as big as two fists spun in the void.
The wizard was stunned for an instant.
"Uh... so fast?!"
The dark blue light ball dragged with a terrifying roaring and tearing sound, and it was approaching in a blink of an eye. The wizard's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly raised his hand.
"Boom!"
A terrifying wave of air erupted with the sound, and the shock wave of energy particles spread out so much that Ronan couldn't help but retreat.
"What kind of spell are you doing?!"
In the fluctuating air waves, a sharp and deformed voice sounded that could not be suppressed.
Looking up, he saw the wizard in gray robes looking at Ronan in disbelief.
In front of him, there were large clear cracks visible to the naked eye on a transparent white mask.
Ronan himself was shocked.
The next second turned into a huge uplift and ecstasy.
"Is the expert-level [Energy Missile] so powerful? The protection of the zero-level intermediate magic tool will be broken at a touch?!"
Ronan stepped forward, chanted the incantation again, and fired another [Energy Missile].
The expert level of proficiency is once again on display at this moment.
Ronan's mental power beat like transparent strings, short auxiliary spell syllables were spat out, and a large number of energy particles gathered.
The entire spell casting process was as smooth and natural as flowing clouds and flowing water.
When Ronan raised his hand for the second time, the wizard recovered from the shock and immediately tried to recite a spell and cast a spell.
But before he finished reciting the spell halfway, the second dark blue ball of light roared towards him.
"Boom!—Crack!"
Accompanied by the sound of something breaking, the ball of light exploded, and the dissipated energy particles rushed past like a mottled turbid current.
When the commotion subsided, Ronan cautiously took two steps forward, only to find that only half of the wizard's body was left lying on the ground. The upper part of his chest and abdomen had already been blown to pieces by energy missiles.
Ronan's first reaction was to relax. Then there was the surprise. Joy actually won? ! It seems like you can win quite easily?
Finally came the waves of nausea that surged up in my stomach.
When he usually practiced spells, he killed a lot of wild animals such as wolves and deer, and most of them were blown to pieces.
But it was just a beast after all. Suddenly, a body of a man missing half of his body was placed in front of him, especially if it was made by his own hands. The strong physical and psychological discomfort was like the day after a hangover. Empty, numb, disgusted.
It took a long time to calm down, and Ronan began to review the battle just now.
The first is the surprise at the power of the expert-level [Energy Missile].
After the proficiency of [Energy Missile] reached the expert level, Ronan knew that it was much more powerful and had long surpassed ordinary zero-level low-level spells.
But I didn't expect it to be so strong. Even the protective shield of the intermediate magic tool was destroyed immediately, and it only took two rounds.
"General zero-level intermediate spells may not have such an effect."
"This is still the expert level. If you can train to the expert level or above."
Ronan's heart was beating fast, and he felt as if he had dug up some treasure for a moment.
He immediately made up his mind to practice [Energy Missile] crazily when he came back to see what this ordinary zero-level low-level spell would transform into when it reached its full level.
After standing there excited for a while, Ronan calmed down and prepared to leave, but he turned back before taking two steps.
"Touch the corpse...I almost forgot to touch the corpse."
Ronan walked step by step to the body of the dead wizard with complicated and uneasy feelings.
He turned his head to the side, trying not to look at the body.
He carefully took off the two rings on the corpse's hands, then quickly stepped back and held them in his hands for inspection.
Both rings emitted fluctuations of magic energy.
One was black with a plain turquoise in the middle.
The other one was red all over and looked much more beautiful than the first one.
Ronan infiltrated his spiritual power into the black turquoise ring and soon found traces of enchantment runes inside.
This ring is enchanted with two runes in total, both of which are zero-level intermediate [protection] runes.
Ronan felt delighted.
An intermediate magic tool with two intermediate runes is of good quality even among mid-level magic tools. The price is much higher than most intermediate magic tools with a single intermediate rune and one or two low-level runes.
These are still two [protection] runes, which can be said to be a small masterpiece.
Looking back, I realized that my previous assessment of the power of the expert-level [energy missile] needed to be repositioned.
The protective power of the double runes is much stronger than that of a single rune. With two blasts, the power seems to be almost as powerful as a zero-level advanced spell.
"The main thing is to cast the spell quickly, two times in a short period of time, without giving any buffer time..."
Ronan sighed twice and looked at another magical ring.
The remaining red ring looked beautiful, but it turned out to be just a zero-level low-level magic tool.
The ring was enchanted with a [Fireball] rune and two runes that Ronan didn't recognize, both of which were low-level.
Ronan guessed that the three fireballs released by the wizard before when he was chasing him, and the third fireball immediately after the second, should have relied on this fireball ring.
He probably wanted to catch himself off guard so that he could be killed, but he didn't expect that he would react quickly and be agile enough to dodge.
So I simply stopped drinking medicine to replenish my ability.
