"About mages?"
The priestess blinked her eyes curiously and looked at Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, do you want to know about spellcasters?"
"That's right. In the previous battle, I found that I don't know much about spellcasters, so I'd like to ask Miss Fina about the fighting style of those mages."
Fangzheng was not making an excuse. On the contrary, if Fangzheng felt that he did not need to know too much about the profession of mages before, he must now change his mind. Just a bald Charles alone made him embarrassed. If it weren't for Nimf's help, I'm afraid I would have fled like a rat. Considering that there might be a destructive mage among the enemies they would face next, Fangzheng naturally wanted to get some information about spellcasters first.
"Of course. What do you want to know, Mr. Fangzheng?"
"What's with that lightning shield? Why did it suddenly appear when I was attacking him? "
This was the question that Fangzheng could not figure out the most. At that time, he was sure that the time of the bald-headed mage had been stopped by him. Logically speaking, the bald-headed mage should be at his mercy, but just as he raised his sword, the lightning suddenly appeared and repelled him. At the same time, Fangzheng's control over time was interrupted. This was what Fangzheng could not figure out the most.
But Fina quickly gave him an answer.
"According to what Mr. Fangzheng said, I think that should be the mage's specialty, 'Spell Trigger'. It's a skill that stores a spell in advance and automatically triggers it under certain circumstances. Most intermediate mages know this skill. I think that Charles has already set up the trigger skill to release the lightning shield when he is attacked. That's why Mr. Fangzheng's attack was blocked. "
What the heck, isn't that an automatic cheat?
Fangzheng couldn't help but roll his eyes. This reminded him of the many cheats in online games in the past. For example, when the HP dropped to XX, when the HP dropped to XX, when the MP was depleted to XX, it would automatically regenerate the MP …. The mages of this world were indeed mages!
"Then, Miss Fina, do you also know this technique?"
"This …"
Faced with Fangzheng's curious question, Fina revealed a troubled expression.
"Spell Trigger is a technique that only spell casters above the intermediate level can use. Divine arts can also achieve a similar effect, but they need to be released in advance …."
"Then, how should we deal with such a situation?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng could not help but frown. According to Fina, this mage was really invincible. He wasn't afraid of sneak attacks or head-on battles. If he couldn't win, he could still run. Fortunately, he had Nimf by his side, a little angel who could invade and seize control of the opponent's spells. Otherwise, if he faced a mage, he would have to go home and sleep instead of fighting.
"When spellcasters fight each other, they will prepare spells specifically used to dispel the opponent's defense. There are also some weapons that can dispel magic that can do this …. Apart from that, using great force to directly break the defense is also a way …."
"Hmm …."
Hearing Fina's answer, Fangzheng frowned. He currently didn't have any weapons that could dispel magic, but using great force was one way. In fact, in the end, Baldy's Lightning Shield failed to block Fangzheng's Divine Storm. But that was because Nimf canceled the opponent's defensive spell in advance. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated …. It seems that ….
"Miss Fina."
"Ah, yes. What's the matter?"
"If I want to learn magic, are there any restrictions?"
"Restrictions?"
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Fina was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head.
"This …. The Holy Cathedral doesn't have any restrictions, but Mr. Fangzheng, magic is a very complicated and difficult spellcasting technique. It requires a lot of effort and is not easy to master. That's why very few people choose to specialize in magic while focusing on swordsmanship …. "
"You're right. I was a little impatient. Thank you."
Hearing this, Fangzheng's anxious mood finally calmed down. As Fina said, he hadn't even mastered swordsmanship yet. It was too early to consider magic. But Fangzheng would not give up on learning magic because of this. Just from the bald mage alone, he saw many useful aspects of magic, which were far more useful than pure swordsmanship.
Besides …. he was a dimensional mage. What kind of mage would he be if he didn't know magic? Holy light and weapon specialization were just like Gandalf's.
There was only one problem left.
"Miss Fina, you just said that there's a similar effect in divine arts …. Can you cast it? I'd like to do a little experiment. "
"Ah, of course, no problem."
Fina readily agreed to Fangzheng's request. Although she hadn't spent much time with Fangzheng, the young man's intelligence had made Fina trust in him. Not only could he easily find out their conspiracy from Charles, but he could also infer the other party's actions with the help of vague evidence. This ability alone was enough to make Fina feel inferior. So even though she didn't know why Fangzheng wanted to do this, she quickly nodded in agreement and raised her scepter. A beam of light appeared out of thin air and enveloped Fina's body. The light then turned into specks of light and disappeared.
"This is' Divine Armour '. It will automatically appear to block attacks when it's attacked. Its effect should be similar to a mage's spell …. But it needs to be actively released …."
"Okay, I got it."
Fangzheng nodded as he stared at the glow on the girl's body.
The next moment, time stopped.
In Fangzheng's eyes, the girl in front of him instantly stopped moving. She stood there motionless like a statue, her eyes looking straight ahead. She looked like a wax figure.
Fangzheng reached out and patted her shoulder gently. The touch was warm and soft, but the girl didn't react at all.
Hmm … In this situation, I suddenly had a bold idea.
Looking at the priestess in front of him, Fangzheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva. For some reason, he suddenly remembered some scenes in a short movie he had seen before …. Come to think of it, time stopping really does have such a use!
Cough, cough …. I'm thinking too much. Stop, stop.
Fangzheng patted his head and threw the plot of the short movie aside. He began to carefully observe the girl in front of him. Then, he raised his sword and stabbed it at the girl's shoulder.
[Clink!]
Fangzheng's sword was not fast, but just before it was about to pierce the girl's body, a golden barrier suddenly appeared and blocked Fangzheng's attack. With the appearance of the barrier, Fangzheng quickly felt his control over time begin to weaken, and the time he could maintain it was rapidly decreasing. But perhaps because Fina wasn't as strong as the bald mage, Fangzheng still had time to grasp and feel it.
As expected, if he were to face an enemy's skill while he was manipulating time, the time he could maintain it would decrease.
Fangzheng had already considered this when he was executing his combo. Now, after the battle with the bald mage and the practice with Fina, Fangzheng was more certain that his guess was correct. The time manipulation he mastered was not invincible. On the contrary, this ability had many restrictions, and there was the risk of resistance and immunity.
Even when facing a probationary priestess like Fina, his time manipulation was in danger of being weakened. So it wasn't surprising that it was directly countered by the bald mage. He said he was a 3-star mage …. That should be his trump card, right? At least better than a 1-star or 2-star mage?
He wondered what a Five Star Wizard was like.
While thinking about this, Fangzheng snapped his fingers. Soon, time began to flow again. Fina, who was in front of him, also returned to her original state.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Fina."
"You're welcome, Mr. Fangzheng."
Although she didn't know what Fangzheng had done, Fina hurriedly lowered her head and responded. And then ….
"Let's go."
While saying that, Fangzheng glanced at the camp full of corpses in front of him. This place was not suitable for camping.
