NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 369 Shadow Magic
Rexor and the two pseudo-blood mages were covered in bruises and bleeding profusely.
Whenever [Wound Management] stops bleeding and tender flesh appears at the wound, the blade of Shadow Blade Storm will leave new wounds elsewhere on the body. This continuous cutting, damaging, repairing, and more Cutting, damaging, and repairing again, it was like an extreme torture like being cut into pieces with a thousand knives.
Rexor and the other three did not let out a cry of pain.
Before they started the war, they cast spiritual talismans on themselves, eliminating all fear and pain. Even if their hearts were pierced, they would not be timid or timid.
This excellent combat status gives them the ability to seize the turning point in the battle.
Just when Rexall and the three arrived at the stone house, they no longer faced the blade storm in embarrassment, but instead leaned against the wall of the stone house to launch a counterattack.
Under the cover of two teammates, Rexor hid in the corner.
He took out a bottle of sword oil from the potion belt on his shoulder and evenly applied the red oil to the blood magic chain blade.
This is a special oil for shadow demons that reacts violently with shadow energy. At this time, the concentration of shadow energy in the dome was extremely high, and the special effect oil "evaporated" very quickly, so Rexall did not choose to use this bottle of oil until he was sure to kill the shadow demon.
Rexor picked up the dazzling scarlet blood magic chain blade, gritted his teeth, and rushed out with the blade's attack. Facing the roaring purple-black tornado, he threw out the blood-red chain in his hand.
Chains that are not coated with special oil will only pass through the tornado and cannot restrain the shadow demon in a half-energy, half-physical state.
But this time, the chain had an "intimate" contact with the purple-black tornado. The heavy chain blade circled around the tornado several times, trapping the hard chain firmly on the tornado.
A panicked black figure appeared in the center of the tornado.
It struggled to hit the surrounding wind walls, but was unable to escape. The tornado that was supposed to protect it instead became an unbreakable cage.
Two other purple and black tornadoes came to support their trapped companions.
The two mystics rushed forward and blocked the two purple-black tornadoes with their flesh and blood, buying Rexor time.
Rexall held the handle of the chain blade in his left hand, and drew the blood magic sword from behind with his right hand. The scabbard of the long sword is filled with blood-red special oil, which is always soaked in the blade of the blood magic sword.
Rexor held the hilt of the sword, gathered some strength, and suddenly stepped forward with his right foot. The sharp sword tip trailed a scarlet light, pointing directly at the panicked shadow in the tornado.
At this moment, two gray shadows came out of the other two tornadoes.
They used Shadow Step and jumped quickly with the help of the shadow energy in the environment. In an instant, they arrived at Rexor's head and back, stabbing out insidious daggers.
Rexor didn't seem to notice the attack from the dark.
He completely ignored the church assassin's sneak attack and continued to thrust out his sword.
The tip of the sword easily penetrated the wind wall of the tornado and penetrated the black shadow inside.
As soon as the blood-red oil on the blade came into contact with the black shadow, it triggered a purple-black explosive flame. The next second, the tornado dissipated, the chain of the chain blade fell to the ground, and the church assassin's dagger also struck the thunder. On Kesol's body.
"Duo Duo." Two dull collision sounds sounded, and the assassin's dagger hit the blood magic shield that appeared in vain.
The little red vest that had been hiding his strength was finally activated by Rexor.
In the previous battle, he and the two mystics deliberately did not use the red vest to resist damage, making themselves very embarrassed. It was precisely to use the red vest at the critical moment to maximize its protective effect and give the enemy Caught off guard.
"Ha." Rexor chuckled sarcastically.
He flicked his left hand and threw out the blood-red chain blade before the church assassin above him retreated. He tied up the gray shadow and dragged it to the ground. Then he held the blood magic sword in his right hand and stabbed downwards fiercely.
After the gray shadow was penetrated by the slender blade, it exploded like a balloon. Countless gray particles floated away and were quickly annihilated.
Killing a shadow demon and a church assassin in a short time is already the limit.
Rexor pulled out his long sword and looked at the few red oil stains remaining on the blade, and then at the chain blade in his hand. The special oil on both had been exhausted, which was really frustrating.
Perhaps it was the killing of two strange demons in a row that made the remaining strange demons fearful, or maybe it was the protective ability of the red vest and the effect of the special oil that aroused the vigilance of the strange demons.
The two shadow demons and a church assassin who were still able to move freely no longer took the initiative to launch an offensive. Their figures disappeared into the purple-black environment, sneaking around the edge of the stone house, waiting for the best opportunity to attack again. opportunity.
This is the most troublesome situation, and it is also the situation that Rexor wants to avoid the most.
The pseudo-blood mage has many shortcomings - lack of vitality, low amount of blood magic, insufficient means to meet enemies, etc. These can be made up for with potions and oils. However, in an environment with high concentration of shadow energy, invisible units cannot be detected. This defect cannot be avoided.
Rexor discussed with the two mystics, and the other two would repair the stone house, while Baldhead himself would be responsible for the vigilance.
Xia Zuo sat outside the dome, looking at the busy Rexor and the other three people, with a slight frown on his face and a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Just as Rexor was killing the Shadow Demon and the Church Assassin, Goldfinger sent two messages:
"The blood relative Rexor has been detected and successfully killed a cube-level shadow demon. The reward is being drawn for the host... After the draw is completed, the host will be rewarded with 130 experience points, 0.16 will attribute value, and shadow magic [Perception of Shadow]. .
"The blood relative Rexor has been detected, and he has successfully killed an executor-level church assassin. A reward is being drawn for the host... After the draw is completed, the host will be rewarded with 110 experience points, 0.11 agility attribute points, and shadow magic [Shadow] container】."
This should be the first time to get a spell reward other than blood magic, right?
Why haven't you obtained shadow magic before?
Xia Zuo checked the past kill information and nodded slowly.
It turned out that he had never killed a strange demon other than the hybrid mage before - the hybrid demon that died in the explosion inside his body. Goldfinger determined that Xia Zuo killed the hybrid mage inside the hybrid demon, not the hybrid demon itself or the hybrid demon. There are other strange demons in the body, so under the influence of the identity characteristics of [Pure-blood Mage], only experience and vitality attribute values are rewarded, but no bleeding magic reward is given.
(Note: [Pure-blood Mage] Identity Feature 2: You can no longer obtain new blood magic by killing mixed-blood mage, or upgrade existing blood magic. Instead, you can use blood patterns to upgrade blood magic.)
Xia Zuo is now certain of two things:
First, the shadow demon and the church assassin may not have vitality in their bodies. These two strange demons rely on shadow energy to maintain their lives.
Second, if a blood relative kills a strange demon, it will still bring him rewards, but the reward value will be much smaller, and the random spell rewards that should be given will still be given.
Based on the above facts, Xia Zuo had some guesses in his mind.
He previously worked as a [Pure-blood Mage], purely because he met the requirements for the job, and he became a Pure-blood Mage part-time, not relying on the power of his bloodline.
So, after he has collected a rough idea of shadow magic and met the employment requirements for identities related to shadow magic, can he work part-time in these identities?
Xia Zuo's memory went back to the night when he was inaugurated as a pure-blood mage.
He clearly remembered that Goldfinger sent the inauguration inquiry message after he received the scarlet coat of arms from Cristo.
In other words, after he has sufficient shadow magic, he must find a small group of shadow mages in the temple and gain their approval before he can officially possess the identity of a shadow mage.
It feels a little detoured. There is no need to prove anything to others for the sake of an identity... not to mention that doing so will attract attention. Xia Zuo thought about it carefully and thought it would be better to quietly collect new spells and then use them quietly. There is no need for the time being. To pursue the additional bonuses brought by identity characteristics.
He called up his character template and checked the shadow magic he had just obtained.
[Perception of Shadow] has the same effect as its name. It consumes energy to check the shadow energy status within one meter of the surrounding area.
This shadow magic is classified as a detection genre, and its associated attribute is [Will], not [Perception] and [Spirit].
The higher the Will attribute value, the longer the duration of [Perception of Shadow]. The higher the level of [Perception of Shadows], the wider the range of perception, which is a good detection method.
The introduction of [Shadow Container] is even simpler, just two lines.
Feature 1: Currently, it can store up to 100 points of shadow energy.
Characteristic 2: It is difficult for flesh and blood to contain shadow energy, and shadow energy will corrode flesh and blood. For every point of shadow energy you store, the blood regeneration rate decreases by 1 point/hour.
Just these two lines, the rest is gone.
Xia Zuo soon discovered an embarrassing thing...
[Shadow Container] This spell can only be used to store shadow energy, but cannot absorb shadow energy... It is equivalent to a blank slate skill. You can only look at it, but not use it...
If you want to get the spell to absorb shadow energy, you have to hope that Rexor and the others will kill a few more shadow demons.
The bald head did not disappoint Xia Zuo.
Just when the test time was over, the strange demon lingering near the stone house couldn't stand it any longer.
Two mystics repaired the shattered stone wall with alchemical glue, regluing the shattered stone blocks to the fallen stone wall. The two stood at both ends of the wall, condensing blood magic to hold up the wall with their palms, and raised the fallen stone wall.
The distance between the two of them was the widest since they entered the test area, which was a good time for the strange demons to attack.
Rexall applied special oil to the chain blade in advance. He stood between the two teammates, guarding against secret attacks.
At this moment, behind the mystic on the left side of Rexor, the figure of the church assassin loomed.
The church assassin's whole body was shrouded in hazy gray mist.
Its left and right hands each have a long dagger half a meter long.
The long dagger is purple-black, like a mysterious diamond-shaped gem, with strong shadow energy lingering around the dagger blade. The feedback information from the scrying technique showed that the dagger in the hands of the church assassin was transformed by the shadow demon.
The church assassin dual-wielded daggers and stabbed the mystic at the waist, and Rexor's blood-red chain blade swept past.
The figure of the Church Assassin blurred for a while, and then disappeared without a trace. It escaped the attack of the chain blade, and then it appeared behind the Mystic Mage on the other side.
Rexor instantly located the movements of the church assassin. He touched the scabbard behind him with his left hand and completed the action of throwing the blood magic sword within a tenth of a second.
Thanks to the close connection between the blood magic sword and the caster, this slightly hasty throwing attack has very good accuracy. The sword quickly adjusts its direction in flight, and the tip of the sword points impartially at the church assassin. chest.
Seeing that the Church Assassin was about to be concentrated by the long sword coated with special oil, the purple and black dagger in the Assassin's left hand turned into a round shield, trying to block the Church Assassin's fatal blow.
The long sword penetrated the buckler turned into by the shadow demon, triggering a big explosion of shadow energy. The violent eruption of purple-black flames sent out a powerful impact, pushing the church assassin and the mystic mage away, and also threw the blood magic sword to the ground. It blew up.
A layer of blood magic shield appeared on the Mystic Mage's body, helping him withstand the impact of the explosion. The church assassins used air waves to stay away from the battlefield and disappeared into the purple-black environment.
After Rexor used a red vest to block the attack, another mystic exposed his red vest.
As long as the little red vest is there, the church assassins and shadow demons alone cannot defeat Rexor and the others.
Faced with the powerful defensive red vest, the remaining two strange demons could only make some small moves in the next time to interfere with the establishment of a stronghold by Rexor and the other three, and would no longer launch an attack without fear of death.
This also means that the Rexor team will pass the test and achieve excellent results, but they will also lose a lot of points because they failed to kill all the strange monsters.
Xia Zuo watched Rexor and the other three build a stronghold while checking Goldfinger's information.
This time, Goldfinger rewards a shadow magic called [Shadow Siphon].
【Name】Shadow Siphon
[Type] Shadow magic, plasticity school
【Level】Lv.0
【Current effect】
Absorb shadow energy from the specified location or target.
If the shadow energy in the designated place or target is higher than yours, there is no need to consume energy when casting this shadow magic, and there is no upper limit on the absorption speed. On the contrary, the amount of energy consumed per hour is equal to the amount absorbed, and the maximum absorption rate is 100 points per hour.
[Upgrade effect]
Each level up, the absorption speed increases by 10%.
[Spell description]
Flesh and blood are corroded by shadow energy. The blood regeneration rate decreases when absorbing shadow energy.
"Siphon" is a term shared in the fields of science and alchemy. It refers specifically to the flow of liquid or gas from a place with high pressure to a place with low pressure until the pressures in the two places are consistent.
"Shadow siphon" has a similar meaning: shadow energy flows from places with high concentration to places with low concentration.
In this process, Xia Zuo does not need to expend energy.
So there is an obvious way to cheat.
First, place yourself in a place with a high concentration of shadow energy, then use [Shadow Siphon] to continuously absorb shadow energy for free, and then weave it into shadow magic and cast it out, achieving unlimited blue bars and unlimited spell casting...
The strange devils in the forbidden magic field of the Strange Devil Church are in this state of endless hanging on the wall.
