Chapter 159 Spell Formation
Sauron was lost in thought.
Unknowingly, he returned to the room again. When he saw the scroll of the three-ring spell [Ma Youfu Micro Meteor] on the table, he seemed to remember something and made a decision. Instant casting spells are basically formed after the legendary level. The most important thing for him now is the current combat power. It is too difficult to hold back the expertise points all the way to hit the instant casting of legendary spells. Maybe he will already have the ability to become a god at that time. If it can be made a god, it is not that there is no ability to replace the instant casting of legendary spells in the future.
The realm of the gods is full of mystery!
So Sauron quickly made a decision, and said silently: "Choose the super-magic specialty [Extreme Spell Effect]!"
Once a specialty is selected.
Sauron's thinking has also been completely opened up. He quickly has new ideas about the total amount of spells he has mastered at this stage, the combat application of various spells, and the types of memory spells.
The first is a ring of spells!
Protective spells are not very effective for Sauron who has amazing agility and strong physique. It can be said that most of the first-level spells are not as good as he drew a knife and slashed twice. Therefore, all the first-level spell slots are used to memorize [Arcane Missile]. Sauron currently has six first-level spells. A six-ring spell [Missile Storm].
(Remarks: Arcane Missiles limit is 5, Secondary Missile Storm limit is 15, casting time is 2 seconds, Advanced Missile Storm limit is 30, casting time is 3 seconds.)
In addition to the transformation-type combat wizards, the wizard's spell-casting combat system also includes cold-type wizards, death-type immunity wizards, missile-type burst wizards, and Bigby's five consecutive palm wizards. The most powerful ones should be the transformation wizards and Bigby's five consecutive palm wizards. These two wizard systems were born before the Arcane Empire. Currently, there are very few people who can master these two sets of combat spells.
(Remarks: Bigby, one of the most famous battle wizards in history, Bigby's protective palm [five rings], Bigby's clapping palm [six rings], Bigby's grasping palm [seven rings]. Geby Vajra Palm [Eight Rings]. Inventor of Bigby’s Smashing Palm [Nine Rings]. These five spells are the legendary Bigby’s five consecutive palms, a set of combat spells that can kill legendary warriors head-on.)
There are two sets of spells in the wizard that can leapfrog to challenge the gods. The first is the "Mayoufu Micro Meteor" discovered by Sauron, and the second is "Bigby's Five Palms".
Among them, Mayoufu Micro Meteor has lower requirements for casting spells!
………………
Once the idea is opened, the subsequent ideas are much simpler.
Sauron does not lack the ability to survive, so there is no need to memorize a large number of protective spells like other wizards, so the spell slots he has are still used for assisting and bursting. The second-ring spell remembers a brute force spell. The elegance of a cat, the remaining three spell slots are all used to memorize Arcane Missiles [Spell Empowerment].
Three-ring spells are a watershed moment.
Sauron chose to give up memorizing most of the spells, but kept the flying spell, and then all the other spell slots were used to memorize the arcane missile [magic effect].
In this way.
His BIUBIUBIU arcane missile storm has already taken shape, from the first ring spell slot to the third ring spell slot. A total of 12 Arcane Missiles were memorized.
With such a missile storm attack, it is not difficult to submerge the enemy in an instant!
Starting from the fourth-ring spell, Sauron's spell memory has become more cautious, because this is the key to the battle. It is also an important ability blessing.
He chose the brute force [maximum spell], the elegance of a cat [maximum spell], and advanced invisibility.
As a wizard with professional level 10, Sauron still has the last two fifth-ring spell slots. But he didn't have the idea of memorizing other spells, because he was going to use it to memorize his trump card.
That is, 'Ma Youfu Micro Meteor'!
This is a third-ring spell, and it requires a fifth-ring spell slot to memorize it in conjunction with the supermagic specialty [Magnificent Spell].
Since it is the pursuit of maximum lethality. Naturally, you can't use the three-ring spell slot to remember.
………………
Regarding the choice of spell memory, Sauron had a fairly clear position for the first time.
As a top rogue, he was still a novice in the field of wizards. It wasn't until the spells and specialties he mastered gradually took shape that his thinking began to gradually become clear. Although he has an intelligence of 22 points and a level 10 wizard professional level, Sauron only has about 20 spell slots in total. Not enough spell slots made him unable to cast spells calmly like other wizards. He could only turn the core of the battle into an instant burst, trying to match his rogue's fighting style as much as possible.
The spell takes shape.
Sauron's positioning became clearer and clearer. He looked at his remaining more than 80,000 killing experience points, and chose to memorize most of the core spells in his mind.
In this way, he would save himself the trouble of needing to re-memorize the spell book!
Professional level 10 is a watershed. From here, the killing experience required to increase the professional level has risen to more than 100,000, especially for spellcasting occupations, which will increase by more than 20% compared to other melee types.
in a short time.
Sauron probably doesn't have much killing experience to allocate to the wizard's professional level, but is ready to attack the rogue's legendary skill [Shadow Field] with all his strength.
The morning passed quickly.
After Sauron cleared his mind, he opened the property page. Now he is no longer a low-level thief who hangs around the streets of Amber City, and even compared with the past, he has advantages in many aspects.
For example, expertise.

………………
Attributes, Skills, Specialties.
A powerful professional is the accumulation of these three elements.
The current Sauron basically surpasses other professionals of the same level in these three elements. The only obvious shortcoming is that his taunting skill is only 20 points.
This is impossible!
Sauron's fighting style has always been to deal with the enemy neatly, and basically has no chance to taunt and anger the enemy. So his taunt skill is the slowest growing one.
It may be because he has more contacts with women, and his acting ability has improved. Only taunting has never increased much.
Time passed day by day like this.
Sauron devoted most of his energy to the process of analyzing the 'Mayoufu Micro Meteor', but he is still in full swing on the layout of the camp, and at the same time, some information from the outside world has been sent from Tyro Port.
War broke out.
There were local conflicts between the northern orcs and the southern kingdom, and the small-scale war made the situation even more confusing.
South Coast rebels have counterattacked a city. The decaying kingdom announced that they were bewitched by the evil devil, and at the same time urgently called on the nobles in the kingdom to wipe out the rebels.
It's a pity that there are very few responders. It seems that in this period of chaos, many people feel the harbinger of the coming turmoil. The old aristocratic forces all want to preserve their strength, and not many people are willing to consume too much power at this time. In particular, the main force of the rebel army has not yet received heavy losses. There are only various rumors about the devil hiding behind the scenes, but no one can determine his identity.
………………
Camp South Gate.
A sneaky figure came around from the side, and then climbed into a certain room through the window.
"Your Excellency the Reverend."
The thin figure took off his cloak, then leaned slightly and said, "I didn't find anything. The guards over the warehouse are too strict, and there is a magic trap set by that witch. I dare not go there rashly to alarm them."
There are quite a few rogues among the followers of Lady Fortune.
He was one of the entourages in disguise, and he had been secretly trying to spy here since he came to the camp.
"Um."
Jin was wearing a priest's robe inlaid with pearls and gems. Hearing this, he nodded slightly and said, "It's always right to be careful. Although he is more friendly to us, it's better not to provoke him."
"Is there any news from the temple?"
Standing behind her was a middle-aged man who looked like an ordinary follower, but in fact he was a third-tier wizard.
Ms. Fortune has a wide range of believers, and there are naturally many wizards who have given their faith to money. He immediately replied: "There is no clear news, but the church is secretly sending people to negotiate with the Ocean Temple."
The five-ring spell 'Communication'.
Jin thought for a moment after listening to his words. Then he said: "Let them speed up. The weakening of the city of wealth may make the goddess dissatisfied with us. If the air route here can be opened up, the prosperous trade can enhance the divine power and influence of the goddess."
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded in response.
at this time.
Sitting in the corner, a young woman who seemed to be a woman, but more like a businessman than a professional, said, "Jin. Is there a need to be so anxious?"
"I don't think this throat-cutter has much business sense at all!"
"I've been out and about a lot these days. I found out that he put most of his manpower and material resources into that piece of broken land. These cultivated lands that have just been reclaimed are basically not of much value. Money. It is estimated that it is not as rich as a ship's round-trip trade. With this time, energy, manpower and material resources, if all are invested in the construction of the port terminal, the wealth earned in one year may be comparable to the income he earned from farming the land for 20 years! "
"In the final analysis, he is just a country rich man with short-sightedness. He only knows how to guard that piece of land."
Kim turned to look at her. It seems that this young woman's status is quite high, so her attitude and tone are softer, she slowly shook her head and said: "Maybe it's not that simple. A pirate king who can rise in such a short period of time is definitely not a simple character."
"Maybe he has bigger plans!"
Plot bigger?
The others couldn't help but fell into deep thought when they heard the words.
What is the bigger conspiracy? Will the land be regarded as more important than the wealth at hand?
Hearing the words, the young woman was thoughtful, her eyes brightened slightly.
………………
Ocean Temple.
Accompanied by the sound of smashing something. Then came the Naga Priest's angry growl from inside the hall: "It's unreasonable! This white-eyed wolf who can't get enough to eat! I don't know when he has a relationship with the Fortune Church!"
Priest Naga had an angry expression on his face, and he took a deep breath before calming down.
There was a strange voice coming from the side, which seemed to come from the sea water below the temple, and said faintly: "Your Excellency, what should we do now?"
Priest Naga closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then he opened his eyes and said, "This guy is getting harder and harder to control!"
"no!"
"Manpower must be sent to build the temple. He has also developed a small scale in the overseas islands. It is time to establish the belief in the goddess of the sea there."
A strange voice continued to come from under the sea: "What about the Fortune Church? These guys are not easy to deal with!"
"Agree to their request." Naga Priest showed a sly smile, and said slowly: "But they also have to pay the price! Since they want to intervene in the belief in the overseas islands, then they must give up some of their own interests .Tell them that we must be allowed to spread the faith among the fishermen in the coastal areas. We will allow them to expand their trade in the Outer Islands."
Faith exchange.
This is the plan of Priest Naga!
It has always been difficult for the Church of the Ocean to find a breakthrough in the inland area, and it has been trapped near Port Taylor for nearly a hundred years.
Now the request of the Fortune Church is also an opportunity for her, an opportunity to spread the faith to the coastal areas. She dare not raise too much conditions, but only targets those fishermen who may become believers of the Goddess of the Sea . As for whether they will further expand the scope and influence of the Sea Goddess' belief after establishing a foundation along the coast, that will be discussed in the future.
Abundant catches can easily open a breakthrough for them.
As long as the Fortune Church releases a little authority, they will be able to take root among human beings.
As for who will gain more and have more influence in the end, it will depend on the strength of each other's church of gods. Priest Naga is very confident about this, because as long as the sea route is cut off, the situation of the Church of Fortune will be quite passive.
Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth!
………………
In the dark valley.
The strong smell of blood almost enveloped the land, and there were dead vampire bats everywhere in front of him, as well as those vampire servants with hideous faces.
In the center is the corpse of a black guard.
As powerful depraved advanced professionals, they finally died under the siege of dense vampire bats.
"How can it be!……"
The black-robed priest was covered in blood. Under the torn black robe, the full-body armor he was wearing was exposed. He held a heavy mace in one hand, and a radiant shield in the other, with a dazed expression on his face. Ban murmured: "How could I fail!..."
Only five followers remained around him.
In the end, all the surviving ones were priests, high-level priests who could wear full-body armor and shields without affecting their ability to cast spells at all.
In this kind of tragic strangling battle, priests are always the last ones to stand firm!
Slap.
The figure of the vampire Shenzi fell from midair, and there were quite serious burn marks on his chest, but the flesh and blood there were rapidly regenerating. At this moment, he didn't have such an elegant and calm expression at the beginning, because half of his head seemed to be severely burned. Many high-level dark guards fell nearby, and there were very few surviving vampire servants. Relying on a group of cannon fodder to deal with the dark guards established by the legion naturally paid a heavy price.
"it's over."
A smug smile appeared on the face of the vampire god, and he said slowly: "You have buried all the elite of the Church of Fear here. Even if you return alive, the high priest will not let you go."
"Have you figured it out?"
"Choose to serve me! Or choose to die?"
"Now that you no longer have the ability to stop me, why are you obsessed with believing in a deity that is about to fall? Allegiance to me! You are the next chief priest. What He can bestow on you, I can also bestow on you!"
clang.
The sound of weapons falling.
The black-robed priest in front of him seemed to give up resistance, and slowly knelt down on the ground.
"Hahaha!"
The vampire god child showed a satisfied smile, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
After defeating the elite of the Church of Fear, they will no longer have the ability to stop themselves from stealing the divine power of fear. When the divine power of fear has accumulated to a certain level, then he is eligible to get involved in the priesthood of fear!
In a dark corner of the valley.
The hell poet withdrew the magic flute in his palm. He was surrounded by corpses that died in various ways, but the same thing was that their expressions were all peaceful when they died.
He silently stared at the vampire god in front of him, his eyes seemed to be shining with a strange light.
