The Truth of Magic

Chapter 102 Combat Casting

The whole battle was marked by Tieshi falling to the ground on the verge of death, and the rest of the battle basically consisted of the injured Roja leading his men to fight back.

The ambush team, which had lost its backbone, was immediately overwhelmed and defeated on the spot.

In other words, when Zhao Xu successfully counter-killed Tieshi, plus the precedent of making many people stunned and comatose in his area.

Even a bandit with a tough heart can only choose to avoid the limelight at this moment.

After the whole harvest was over, everyone gathered around to congratulate Zhao Xu, especially Roja's words of praise were endless.

Luo Ya even decided on the spot to let Zhao Xu accept Tieshi's full body armor as a trophy.

Zhao Xu glanced at Maple Leaf first, and Maple Leaf quickly waved his hands to show that he would not be rewarded for nothing.

In fact, Zhao Xu was worried that Maple Leaf would have an extra full-body armor in the early days, and he might survive if he was not sure, which would kill him a year later.

Seeing that Maple Leaf refused, Zhao Xu didn't say much, and asked Roja to exchange him for equivalent gold coins or other caster items.

It's just that when Luo Ya took back the full body armor, Zhao Xu immediately beamed with joy when he saw Feng Ye.

He also realized that after this journey, not only he, but the Maple Leaf team also benefited a lot.

I'm afraid that the Maple Leaf team will eventually raise funds to buy that full body armor for him.

Compared to undead creatures who are so poor that they cannot sell materials even if they are killed, these enemy warriors with basic armor and weapons are already considered walking wallets.

And Zhao Xu was not focused on the outside world until he rode his summoned horse through the canyon.

The moment just now seemed extremely dangerous, and he had already reached the point of betting his life with the other party.

But in fact, the whole battle plan was carried out in Zhao Xu's plan.

It wasn't that in the end it happened that his two magic missiles had exactly 10 points of damage and knocked iron stone into a near-death state, but that it was Zhao Xu's worst decision to choose to fight with magic missiles.

Although Zhao Xu had five resurrection stones, he was just betting his life with a senior mage, and it was too cheap for him to bet his life with an ordinary soldier.

When Zhao Xu saw Tieshi coming towards him, if he added a level of arcane "mage armor" to himself, and then used the "protective staff" to cast the "shield technique" - he hadn't had time yet The first-level arcane art learned.

With that Tier 4 armor bonus combined with the Tier 4 shield bonus, Zhao Xu would gain almost Tier 8 defensive ability, which was already on par with Tie Shi's full body armor.

With this level 8 defensive ability in his body, even if Zhao Xu's defensive ability was affected by his flaws, it was still as high as level 18 (level 10 base).

At that time, even if a commoner stabbed him with a gun, and he couldn't dodge in time, there was a high probability that he would be blocked by the invisible power condensed by the spells on his body!

This is also a manifestation of the power of a mage's spells. Even if it is a low-level first-level spell, once it is stacked, it still has extraordinary power.

It's just that ordinary mages only have two or three first-level spells a day, so they can't do such a luxurious thing.

Even after Zhao Xu missed the first opportunity to cast a spell to improve his defense, he could still choose to use the "protective staff" to consume three points of energy and release the "anti-living shield" for his second spell.

This sixth-level spell can open a shield with a radius of three meters, and lasts for 10 minutes per caster level—that is, a full 200 minutes. Except for special undead creatures, most other types of living creatures cannot into the shield.

Even if Tie Shi has three heads and six arms, his charge must be defeated.

It's just that Zhao Xu gave up in the end.

He should have listened to his own judgment, defending first and then counterattacking.

But at that moment, a line of text appeared on his information panel.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia is in the awakening state of the "Battle Casting" specialty. 】

Some of Arthur's expertise was taught, while others were self-taught.

However, there is another large category, which is comprehended in battle.

When Zhao Xu was a warrior in his previous life, he learned his power attack expertise directly from his roommate Zhang Qi.

As long as you have a certain specialty, you are qualified to teach it, which is why Arthur's various specialties have not been cut off.

And later, his other specialty "Slashing with the Trend" was realized by him in a desperate state of mind on the battlefield.

Therefore, once the players see that their dynamic appearance specialty is in the state of awakening, they will be very excited and hurry up to master that specialty.

And when Zhao Xu saw the "combat casting" specialty, he directly chose to work hard to activate this specialty.

Because the "Combat Casting" feat is the pre-advanced feat of "Spell Guard".

Only by obtaining this specialty can one be able to take up this advanced level smoothly.

When he left Floating Void City, Antinoya reminded him of a few specialties that he could choose to learn first if inspired.

One of them is the "Combat Casting" feat.

A specialty that can only be awakened and comprehended in battle, only in injury, and only at the borderline of life and death.

This was also the reason why Antinoya never mentioned this specialty to him from the beginning to the end. It was impossible to obtain it by studying alone.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu also smiled. He is not in a hurry to master the "durable magic spell". When he reaches the fifth level of mage level, he will also get a super magic feat by relying on his mage professional ability. Lasting Spells" is not too late.

Now, the list of specialties on his character card is finally tidy.

[Specialty (Human): Versatile Spellcaster

Feat (1st rank): Combat Casting

Feat (Flaw): Spell Familiarity

Specialty (Flaw): Uncanny Foresight]

Zhao Xu let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at his potential.

Originally, after he was promoted to level 2, he still had 5/5 potential points, but now only a poor 1/5 was left. The emergence of potential points was also the confidence of Zhao Xu and that mage Ryan that day.

Who knew that it would be officially used on the enemy, but today.

He spent 1 point of potential to simulate the "Ultimate Spell" feat that he didn't master, and then spent 3 points of potential to let him use the first-level spell slot to release the magic that originally required a fourth-level spell slot——Major Spell Magic missile.

If someone else hears it, they must be yelling to kill chickens with a bull's knife.

Potential points have a wide range of uses, from attacking to skill checks to attributes, immunity, and even spellcaster level checks, you can gain 1D6 (1-6 points) advantage by consuming potential points.

If Zhao Xu hit a control spell, he could increase the success rate of resistance by 5% - 30% if he used his potential points to resist.

So this time Zhao Xu used four points in a row, which was equivalent to turning four life-saving opportunities into one explosion.

It's just that he doesn't regret it at all, being able to awaken the "Battle Casting" specialty has already cleared the last obstacle for him to advance to "Spell Guard".

He lacks everything, except that he does not lack the favorability of Mystra City.

Suddenly, the horse under Zhao Xu stopped forcibly and raised its front legs, almost shaking Zhao Xu off.

The huge shadow directly covers the front!

Zhao Xu was about to take out his staff when a familiar voice came——

The dragon roars!
