Chapter 1409: Arcane Ooze (Ⅰ)

It wasn't until this moment that the elder with the red hat realized that the young mage's sentence "You are going to die" just now was not intimidation, let alone wild words, but simply stating a fact.

Unfortunately, he woke up too late.

The group of red hats on the hillside, when they realized that the elder had been knocked down, immediately blew up the battalion, brandishing their sickles and yelling, they rushed over.

Joan glanced at the group of noisy little monsters, raised his hand and blasted an "Extended Frost Nova", followed by an "Extended Fireball".

Cold snaps and raging flames erupted on the hillside one after another. After the double blow of ice and fire, more than 20 corpses of red hats were left on the scene.

There were not many red hats left who had escaped the fire and ice combo by chance, and their arrogance disappeared from fright, and they turned their heads and fled deep into the dense forest.

Ruby cast "Mythical Plague Swarm", summoned ten giant mosquitoes, ordered them to fly into the dense forest, and chased and killed those little monsters who fled.

Martin was stunned in shock when he saw Joan cast a spell.

He escaped from Leiden Academy and returned to his hometown. He has not relaxed his arcane practice in the past year. He has been promoted to a level 6 mage, and he thinks that his strength has greatly improved.

However, seeing Joan cast the 4-ring spell at will, Martin had to admit that he was far behind this genius junior, and the gap was so big that he despaired.

The green slime brought by the elder with the red hat sensed the strong fluctuations of magic power emanating from Joan's body, as if he had discovered a rare delicacy, it shook off the militiamen who besieged him, and squirmed towards him.

"Joan, beware of that slime!"

Martin noticed the strange movement of the green ooze, and raised his alarm without thinking.

"That monster seems to be able to steal mana!"

Joan looked back at Martin, with a little warmth in his eyes.

At this time, the green slime had already crawled over. The green body and the blood-colored texture distributed in it made Joan have a bad association.

The green ooze paused for a moment, and the blood-colored texture in its body suddenly became shiny, and the radiated light shone on Joan, making him feel dizzy for a while, and then he noticed that the surrounding magic nets changed rapidly, and the magic threads woven into a gravitational force Field, forcibly absorbing magic power from his body.

In just a moment of trance, Joan was stolen a fourth-ring magic slot. He quickly backed away from the strange aura radiated by the green ooze, and at the same time activated the spell attached to the prosthetic eye, sending out a "scorching ray" towards the monster.

laugh!

The scorching ray hit the green ooze and was absorbed immediately without causing any damage to it.

Joan frowned, turned into a bee man form, flew into the air, and waved five "magic missiles".

Like a swarm of bees, the purple missiles roared and bombarded the green ooze, rolling it backwards, but still did not cause any substantial damage.

If "Scorching Ray" is ineffective, it can also be explained by the fact that the green ooze is immune to fire attacks, but the same reason cannot explain why force field spells such as "Magic Missile" are also ineffective against it.

Joan had to suspect that the green ooze had a special constitution that was immune to magic damage, and thinking of its strange ability to steal spell slots, the mystery in his heart was gradually solved.

"This guy, isn't he the legendary 'Alpha Ooze'?"

Regarding the "Arcane Ooze", the earliest records from Shi Kecha appeared in the heyday of the "Arcane Empire" more than 3,000 years ago.

The so-called "Arcane Empire" is not the centralized unified regime that people think today, but a loose federation composed of hundreds of large and small noble lords who elect a so-called "Republican Monarch" "As emperor.

If the emperor of the Arcane Age was strong enough, and managed properly during his lifetime, and firmly controlled the military power, he might pass the throne to his heirs after his death.

However, this kind of situation is very rare in the history of the Arcane Empire. Most emperors did not suppress the absolute strength of other noble lords. They were just the product of the compromise of the interests of various political groups, and the symbolic meaning was greater than the actual power.

After the death of the emperor, the entire empire also ushered in periodic shocks. The final solution is nothing more than re-convening the electoral conference, and a new emperor will be elected by the electors. Behind the seemingly fair election process, there are always conspiracy, blood and money transactions.

Under such a system, it is certainly impossible for the Arcane Empire to maintain internal stability for a long time. Ambitious lords of Austrian law are always coveting each other's territory, eager to conquer their neighbors and expand their power and glory.

In the age of swords and soldiers, the nobles and lords frequently conquered each other, which greatly stimulated the development of the military industry, and all kinds of strange arcane weapons came into being. "Created supernatural beings.

At the time, the "Arcane Ooze" was hailed as the bane of arcane spellcasters.

In fact, this creature does indeed deserve the title.

The arcane ooze possesses two special abilities. The first is that it is immune to magic damage—this is similar to a golem, which is not uncommon; A natural aura called "Alpha Siphon Field".

Hostile arcane spellcasters within the radiation range of the "arcane siphon field" will feel dizzy first, and it will be more difficult to maintain concentration in casting spells, and then their own magic power will be attracted by the siphon field and will continue to flow out of the body.

If the physique is not strong enough to withstand the greedy sucking of the "Arcane Siphon Field", and cannot escape the radiation range of the "Arcane Siphon Field" in time, the unfortunate Arcane spellcaster will lose a spell of the current highest level every 6 seconds bit until the body is completely hollowed out.

The magic bits absorbed by the "Arcane Siphon Field" are re-decomposed into the original magic power, which feeds back to the Arcane Ooze, heals its injuries and restores its physical strength.

3,000 years ago, after the birth of the "Olfa Slime", it was so prominent in the wars of noble lords that it became an indispensable tactical weapon in the army at that time.

However, with the passage of time, at the end of the Arcane Age, the once tyrannical Arcane Empire was overthrown by an uprising army led by five voters of the "Sun God" Pelor. Big disappointment, very poor performance.

This can't be blamed for the lack of power of the arcane ooze monsters. After all, they are just slimy creatures with low intelligence. "Spellcasters" are useless at all, only to be hammered by the morning star hammer.

With the collapse of the Arcane Empire, the "Arcane Age" came to an end and was replaced by the new "Holy Light Age". The era Joan is currently living in is 1621 in the "Holy Light Calendar".
