Chapter 1569 Jenny's Blood
What Joan transcribed next was the second 4-ring spell—"Swarm Cloak" that was analyzed from the Wasp's blood sample.
He has also seen Jenny perform this spell many times, summoning a large swarm of wasps to circle around his body, which looks like a yellow and black coat.
The duration of the swarm cloak and the size of the swarm are also proportional to the level of the caster, and the specific rules are exactly the same as the "Insect Form".
In addition to being used to cover the body and keep warm, the tens of thousands of wasps that make up the "swarm cloak" can also flap their wings at the same time, and work together to lift the caster into the sky and gain the ability to fly.
Secondly, the "swarm cloak" can also change shape according to the caster's will, spreading into a thick insect cloud with a radius of 5 feet, blocking the enemy's sight.
Enemies who try to melee the person protected by the "swarm cloak" will be stung by the poisonous needles of the swarm.
In addition to the above-mentioned features, the "swarm cloak" also has a special purpose that is not very noticeable, but can be used to save lives at critical moments.
Although the tens of thousands of wasps that make up the "swarm cloak" can be regarded as a whole cluster, each wasp has an independent life and can be used as the target of ray spells.
This feature makes the "swarm cloak" resistant to almost all "ray" type spells that only work on a single target.
For example, the "weakening ray" and "scorching ray" that Joan had learned, as well as the more powerful ray spells that he had never mastered, such as "disintegration" or "sun flame ray".
It is not difficult for Joan to imagine that if he is surrounded by a dense swarm of bees and every inch of his skin is covered, the enemy's magic rays can only hit him if they pass through the gaps between the swarms, and the probability of this is very small of.
If the magic ray is blocked by any wasp, that wasp will become a "meat shield" to offset the magic power contained in the ray for the owner. This is the principle of the "swarm cloak" to restrain the ray spell.
The establishment of this defense method is based on the fact that ray spells are not penetrating.
It is conceivable from this that the "swarm cloak" with weak physical defense cannot be used to resist strong kinetic energy and penetrating spells such as "acid arrow" or "magic missile", even though they look like magic at first glance. Ray magic is actually completely different in nature.
The second 4-ring spell that Joan analyzed from the Wasp's blood was the "disaster beetle" that impressed him deeply.
This necromancy spell uses a small piece of black onyx as the casting material to create a swarm of beetles, each of which is a manifestation of negative energy, swarming out from the caster's hand and biting within a 30-foot cone in front All living creatures, deal up to 10 levels of necrotic damage, and return to the caster with blood stolen from the victim. The caster can use the blood stolen by the beetle to heal his own injuries or restore physical strength.
If the creature bitten by the disaster beetle is strong enough, it can greatly reduce the damage caused by the spell, and it is immune to the "blood-sucking" special effect attached to the spell.
In addition to the above-mentioned conventional usage, the "disaster beetle" can also condense the blood of creatures into life essence, which can be stored as materials for casting spells, or used to prepare alchemy potions.
Not long ago on the shore of Lake Aosta, Joan witnessed the Wasp girl using the "disaster beetle" to suck up the blood of a little devil, and used it as the material for the "plague swarm" spell to summon a swarm of bees in the underworld.
Using this method to absorb blood and refine the essence can not only stimulate the magic power contained in the blood to the maximum, but also preserve the blood essence for a long time without dissolving along with the devil's corpse.
Inspired by the Wasp, Joan planned to take the time to design a series of experiments to conduct extended research on this method of casting spells. But before that, he had to learn the core spell "disaster beetle", which was necessary for the experiment.
After transcribing the "disaster beetle", Joan then transcribed another signature spell of the Wasp, the 5-ring "swarm whip".
After casting the spell, a swarm of hornets can be summoned, gathering together to form a living whip.
The configuration of this spell is similar to the 4th ring "Swarm Cloak", the difference is that "Swarm Cloak" is mainly used for defense, the hornets that make up the cloak cannot leave the caster 5 feet away, and "Swarm Whip" Primarily used for offense, it has a range of up to 15 feet.
Every time the "Bee Swarm Whip" hits the enemy, it will cause an average of 3 energy levels of sting damage and add a poisoning effect.
The toxin released by the bee needle has both hemolytic and neurotoxic effects. When injected into the human body in large quantities, it can paralyze the opponent or even faint in a short time.
The "Swarm Whip" makes a buzzing beep when it is swung, and it can also interfere with spellcasting, making it difficult for the caster to maintain concentration.
These are just common uses of "swarm whip".
Joan remembered that when the Wasp was dueling with him, the long whip created by using this spell was not made of ordinary wasps, but a large group of more dangerous "Yellow Spring Bees".
The spell configuration and magic power level of "Swarm Whip" do not support this special usage. The reason why Wasp can do it is mostly because she matched "Swarm Whip" with a The special spell-casting material, that is, the devil's blood essence-this is exactly the same as her previous method of strengthening the "plague swarm".
The ordinary "Bee Swarm Whip" is upgraded to "Yellow Spring Bee Whip", which will add an additional special effect. While whipping the enemy, a part of the Yellow Spring bee colony will be remotely controlled to escape from the long whip, trying to penetrate deep into the enemy's skin, parasitizing In flesh and blood.
The host parasitized by Huangquan bee colony will become a puppet at the mercy of the master of the bee colony. What will happen?
Just look at those crazy dinosaurs at Lake Aosta.
The last new spell Joan gained from the Wasp's blood was the 6-ring "Anti-living Shield".
This spell is similar to Bug Shield, but much more powerful.
After the spell is cast, a magic shield with a radius of 10 feet is opened with itself as the center of the sphere.
During the duration of the spell, no animals, aberrations, dragons, fey, giants, humanoids, magical beasts, humanoids, oozes, plants, or vermin can enter the shield!
Compared with the "elastic ball" and "sanctuary spell" with similar functions, the "anti-living shield" has a big advantage, that is, it does not restrict the creatures protected by the shield from attacking the outside world.
Of course, this means that enemies blocked outside the shield can also use long-range weapons such as crossbow guns, or long-range magic to attack targets inside the shield-after all, this shield can only block " Living creatures" approached, but they could not stop the inanimate weapons and magic.
