The battle only lasted for a dozen minutes before the orc camp was completely destroyed by the barbarians. Against twelve invulnerable monsters who killed like they were grass, even a race as ferocious and cruel as the orcs couldn't stand against them.
Wherever the 12 Barbarian warriors went, blood flowed like a river. There were severed limbs everywhere, and the entire camp turned into a scene of carnage. Suhlen was excited when he saw the Barbarians with such power. He almost wanted to run to the polar ice field and kill the Frost Giants for blood.
Fortunately, he knew that place was the nest of the Frost Giants, so he didn't act rashly.
The orcs began to flee, but the Centaurs who had been lying in ambush intercepted them. In the end, they captured more than a hundred orcs. The rest, except for a few who escaped, were all killed by the Barbarians.
In fact, the Barbarians' God's Descent state could only be called a fake God's Descent. The real God's Descent had the body of a Titan. In addition to their powerful defense, they were directly immune to low-level spells.
But now, there were no other creatures besides the Titan world that had this ability.
After seeing the power of the Barbarians, Suhlen planned to inscribe magic patterns on his body. But unlike the Barbarians, Suhlen's magic patterns were all kinds of spells. He planned to inscribe some common spells on his body. When the time came, he wouldn't need to prepare to cast them. He could use the magic patterns to release them.
The Master level Magic Tattoo technique was very powerful. With the help of [Wizard's Hand], Su Lun could inscribe Magic Tattoo on himself. Although [Wizard's Hand] was only a Circle 0 spell, it still had many uses. It could lift objects up to five kilograms and control objects up to fifteen meters away. As for the operation, it depended on the individual's ability.
Some people could use Wizard Hand to its fullest potential, while others could only use it to pick up items and clean up. In the Pink Book, the Sorcerer's Hand spell was listed as a classic secret spell.
There wasn't much difference between a beginner magic pattern tattoo technique and an ordinary one. The only difference was that magic patterns were left behind. But as the technique was upgraded, this kind of tattoo technique that took up a lot of space and was inefficient was gradually eliminated.
There was a limit to how much skin was suitable for tattooing, and a spell would take up a lot of space if all the runes were inscribed on it. Therefore, at the beginning, these magic pattern tattoos could only inscribe one spell on the body.
Along with the advancement of technology, even more sophisticated mageweath craftsmanship appeared. A palm-sized piece of skin could be engraved with more than a dozen arcane marks. It was only at this time that this technique was widely used. Many wizards began to engrave mageweaths on their bodies. During that time, more than 80% of the wizards were bald.
Even the witches were bald. If one didn't know better, they would think that the Adept Academy had become a monastery for monks. Later, these technologies were further improved by the Arcane Kingdom. With the upgrade of rune technology, mageweaths were gradually eliminated, and this more precise and smaller rune technology was developed.
Just like a miniature carving, a magic pattern could be inscribed on an area the size of a fingernail. Of course, to achieve this, one would have to use some special tools and tools.
Suhlen didn't know how to do that at the moment. In fact, to be more precise, it was already rune engraving, an upgraded version of mageweath technology. Mageweaths were only a single arcane mark, while runes were a combination of arcane marks.
In order to inscribe this kind of rune, arcanists used a special machine. This machine was very complicated, and ordinary carving knives were no longer capable of this technology. Therefore, they created a technology that condensed the scorching ray into a very, very thin line. According to Suhlen's understanding, it was a very thin laser.
This scorching ray was as thin as a micron. Then, using this machine to engrave runes on the body, and the machine wasn't operated by humans. It was a tower spirit made by arcanists. When the rune was engraved, the plan of the rune would be inputted to the tower spirit. After confirmation, the tower spirit would control the machine to engrave the rune.
It was important to know that the tower spirit wasn't human and was easily influenced. The tower spirits in the Wizard World were like artificial intelligence. Those powerful tower spirits were stronger than artificial intelligence. They would complete the plan meticulously.
There were two types of mageweath tattoos. One was permanent, like the ones on the Barbarians and Marauders. The other was temporary. These temporary mageweaths would disappear after the spell was cast, and could be re-engraved. Wizards would usually modify them according to the environment and the enemies or monsters they were about to face.
Suhlen was engraving a temporary mageweath tattoo on his body. This kind of tattoo had another advantage — it was relatively cheap. Suhlen was going to engrave defensive spells, Energy Deflection Field, Energy Barrier, Bear's Brute Force, and Greater Haste.
In the laboratory, Suhlen took out all kinds of things he needed and put them on the workbench next to him. In fact, there were many ways to engrave runes on oneself. The simplest and most commonly used method was the Wizard's Hand.
There was also the Mirror Clone spell. This spell could create a clone that was almost identical to the real person and control the clone to engrave mageweaths on oneself. The most powerful one was still the Cloning spell.
The Cloning spell combined with the Ecological Chamber spell could create a clone of oneself. This clone would be exactly the same as the original, but it would have no soul. Under normal circumstances, this was a life-saving technique used by legendary wizards. It was like the Lich's phylactery. As long as the Lich's phylactery couldn't be found, even if you killed the Lich ten times, it would resurrect after a while.
The Cloning spell was very similar to the Lich's phylactery. As long as the wizard was prepared in advance, once the wizard was killed, the wizard would wake up in another body. The only loss was some soul energy. Of course, the things on the body couldn't be brought back. After resurrecting with the Cloning spell, the wizard would lose a profession level.
Suhlen planned to teach Hathaway this mageweath tattoo technique, but this was a matter for the future. Suhlen took out the specially made silver needles. On the table next to him was a magic solution used for tattooing. This magic solution looked very colorful and emitted a faint magical glow.
After summoning two mirrors, Suhlen began to use the Wizard's Hand to engrave mageweaths on his body. This was the first time Suhlen was doing this, so he wasn't very fast. The spell he was going to engrave was the Energy Field Deflection spell, which was a defensive spell.
However, it wouldn't directly block the opponent's attack. Instead, it would envelop the caster with a deflection force field, diverting all kinds of attacks towards the caster. This spell was very effective against arrows and other long-range spells. For example, the Fireball spell. Even though the target was clearly aimed, when the attack was about to hit, a strange force would suddenly appear and divert the Fireball spell to the side.
For example, an arrow's force field energy was about 1-3 points, a crossbow's force field energy was 3-6, and a ballista's force field energy was 10-15. A Fireball's force field energy was about 10, and the upper limit of this spell was 50. As long as the energy didn't reach the peak in one go, this spell would continue to exist until the energy was exhausted.
The Energy Shield spell was another type of defensive spell. The Energy Field Deflection spell, to put it bluntly, relied on evasion, while the Energy Shield spell relied on brute force. The Energy Shield spell's defense was 200 points, and a Fireball spell's attack was 50 to 80 points. This spell could be resisted three to four times.
Suhlen used the Mirror Image spell to control the Wizard's Hand to engrave the mageweath on his body. Engraving the mageweath required a lot of mind power because there couldn't be any mistakes during the process. Once there was a mistake, the mageweath would have to be re-engraved.
Curved mageweaths continuously appeared on Suhlen's body under the control of the Wizard's Hand. The mageweaths were linked to each other and finally formed a spell. The moment the spell was formed, the surrounding elemental energy began to gather. This elemental energy would attach to the mageweath and store it until it was instantly released when it was activated.
After the mageweath was completed, it gradually disappeared without a trace. It could only be seen with a special method. When the mageweath was activated, it would reappear.
"Phew!"
After completing the first spell, Suhlen let out a sigh of relief. The first spell was the Deflection Force Field. This spell didn't occupy a large area and only covered the shoulders and arms. Next, Suhlen engraved the Energy Shield spell. This spell was Suhlen's backup.
Compared to the shoulders and arms, the back was more difficult to engrave. Fortunately, with his previous experience, Suhlen already had some experience with this kind of engraving method. After familiarizing himself with it for a while, the speed of engraving sped up a lot.
The Energy Shield spell was easier than the Deflection Force Field spell. Suhlen engraved the mageweath very quickly. Moreover, because it was a temporary mageweath, Suhlen didn't engrave it very small. That kind of micro-engraving was more used on permanent mageweaths.
After all, this kind of temporary mageweath could only be used once, and micro-engraving was too tiring.
Next, Suhlen engraved Greater Haste on the legs. This spell was used very frequently and had very good effects. Compared to the previous defensive spells, Greater Haste required more mageweaths to be engraved. After all, this spell was also very difficult to cast.
As for Bear's Tenacity, Suhlen engraved it on his chest. This spell's difficulty was average, but because of the large area on his chest, Suhlen also engraved Draconic Strength. Draconic Strength could increase Strength by six points and had no upper limit. It was much more effective than Bull's Strength.
After spending a day, Suhlen finally engraved five spells on his body. As long as he wanted to, he could cast these spells with a single thought. Moreover, they didn't need to consume mana, just like magic scrolls.
