Chapter 78 Oops, This Idea Is so Bold
"About the mage?"
The priest girl blinked curiously and looked at Fangzheng.
"Does Mr. Fangzheng want to know about the caster?"
"Yes, in the previous battle, I found that I didn't know the spellcasters very well, so I wanted to ask Miss Fina about the fighting style of those mages."
This is not an excuse for Fangzheng. On the contrary, if Fangzheng felt that he didn't need to know too much about the profession of a mage, then now he must change his mind. A bald-headed Charles made himself embarrassed, and if it wasn't for Nimf's help, he would have been running around. Considering that there might be a Destruction Mage among the enemies they face next, Fang Zheng naturally planned to get some information about the spell caster first.
"Of course there is no problem. What do you want to know, Mr. Fangzheng?"
"What's up with that Lightning Shield? Why did it suddenly appear when I attacked him?"
This is the most incomprehensible question for Fangzheng. At that time, he could be sure that the bald-headed mage had been stopped by him. According to logic, he should be slaughtered by himself. Fighting back by himself, while Fang Zheng's manipulation of time was also interrupted, this is what Fang Zheng can't figure out the most.
But Fina quickly gave an answer.
"According to what Mr. Fangzheng said, I think it should be the magician's specialty spell trigger... This is a spell skill that stores spells in advance and then automatically triggers under certain circumstances. Most intermediate mages can use this skill. And I think that Mage Charles has already set the triggering skill of releasing lightning shield when attacked, so Mr. Fangzheng's attack will be blocked."
I'll go, isn't this an automatic plug-in?
Hearing this, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes involuntarily, which reminded him of many plug-ins in online games back then, such as automatically drinking a blood bottle when HP dropped to XX, and automatically returning to blue when MP consumption reached XX...... The master of this world he meows is indeed a master!
"Then Miss Fina, do you also have this skill?"
"this………"
Facing Fang Zheng's curious question, Fina showed an embarrassed expression.
"Spell triggering is a skill only for intermediate or above spellcasters, but there are also magic spells that can achieve similar effects, but they need to be released in advance..."
"So, how do you usually deal with this situation?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help frowning. According to Fina, this mage is really invincible all over the world, not afraid of sneak attacks, not afraid of hard battles, but he can still run. Fortunately, I have Nimfu, a little angel who can invade and take control of the opponent's spells by my side. Otherwise, when facing the mage, wouldn't I have to fight and just wait to go home and sleep?
"When spellcasters fight with each other, they will prepare special spells to dispel each other's defenses, and there are some weapons that can dispel magic. Method………"
"Um………"
Hearing Fina's answer, Fang Zheng frowned. I don't currently have any weapons that can break magic, so breaking it with powerful force is a way. In fact, the bald head's lightning shield was still unable to block Fang Zheng's holy storm. But that was because Nimf canceled the protection spell released by the opponent in advance. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles... It seems...
"Miss Fina."
"Ah, here, what's the matter?"
"If I want to learn magic, are there any restrictions?"
"limit?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Fina was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"This... The temple has no restrictions, but Mr. Fangzheng, magic is a very complex and difficult spellcasting skill, which requires a lot of energy and is not easy to master. Therefore, few people choose to specialize in swordsmanship at the same time. magical………"
"That's right, I'm a little impatient, thank you."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng's originally anxious mood finally calmed down. As Fina said, he hasn't even mastered swordsmanship yet, so it's too early to think about magic. However, Fangzheng would not give up learning magic because of this. Just from the bald mage, he saw many useful aspects of magic, which were far more useful than pure swordsmanship.
And... he is a dimensional mage himself, so he is not a mage if he doesn't know how to spell. If you order Holy Light and weapon specialization, that's Gandalf's template.
Then there is only one question left.
"Miss Fina, you just said that there are similar effects in magic... Can you show it? I want to do a little experiment."
"Ah, of course there's no problem."
For Fangzheng's request, Fina happily nodded in agreement. Although she didn't get along with Fang Zheng for a long time, the ingenuity shown by this young man has made Fina full of trust in him. Not only could he easily figure out their conspiracy from Charles, but he could even infer the other party's actions with the help of these vague evidence. This ability alone made Fina feel inferior, so even though she didn't know why she was doing this, she quickly nodded in agreement, then raised her scepter, and then Fangzheng saw a beam of light emerging out of thin air, shrouded in Fina's body then turned into a little bit of light and disappeared.
"This is sacred armor, which will actively appear to resist attacks when attacked. The effect should be similar to the spell released by the mage... but it needs to be actively released..."
"Well, I see."
Staring at the brilliance on the girl, Fang Zheng nodded.
The next moment, time stopped.
In Fang Zheng's eyes, the girl in front of her stopped moving for a moment. She stood there like a statue, motionless, her eyes looking straight ahead, she looked like a wax statue.
Fangzheng stretched out his hand and patted the other person's shoulder lightly. The touch was warm and soft, but the girl did not respond.
Hmm... In this case, I suddenly had a bold idea.
Looking at the priest girl in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva. For some reason, he suddenly remembered some scenes from the little movies he had seen before... Then again, time stop seems to have such a usage. what!
Cough cough... Think too much, think too much, stop and stop.
He patted his head and threw aside the small movie plot in his head. Fang Zheng began to carefully observe the girl in front of him. Then he raised his long sword and stabbed the girl in the shoulder.
"Ding!"
Fang Zheng's sword was not fast, but just before he was about to stab the girl, a golden barrier suddenly appeared, blocking Fang Zheng's attack, and with the appearance of the barrier, Fang Zheng quickly felt that his grasp of time had begun. Weakened, and the duration of maintenance was reduced almost rapidly. It's just that maybe it's because Fina is not as strong as the bald mage, so Fangzheng still has time to master and feel it.
Sure enough, if it is a skill that is released in the face of the enemy during time manipulation, will the time for self-maintaining be reduced?
Fang had already had this consideration when he was performing the output combo before. Now, after the battle with the bald mage and the practice with Fina, Fang Zheng became more and more sure that his guess was correct. The time manipulation mastered by him is not an invincible kill. On the contrary, this ability has many limitations, and there is a danger of being resisted and immune.
Even in the face of an apprentice priest like Fina, there is a danger that his time manipulation will be weakened. Then it's not surprising that the bald-headed mage was directly cracked. He said that he was a three-star mage... This is also a guarantee for Africa, at least it is better than one-star and two-star?
I don't know what a five-star mage is like?
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers while he was thinking beyond the bounds, and soon, time began to flow again. And Fina 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 did, Fina hurriedly lowered her head and responded. And next...
"Let's go."
As he said that, Fang Zheng glanced at the camp in front of him, which was full of dead bodies. This place is not suitable for camping.
"Find a safe place to rest first, then head to the Dark Swamp... I'm also curious about what those cultists want to do."
