Chapter 551 534 [Bad Apprentice]
Upon hearing this, Luo Ning walked into the venue and said to the apprentice present:
"Don't worry, in the competition, I will limit my spell casting ability to the extent you can accept. Apart from combat experience, the total amount of mana I can use and the number of spells I master, don't have to be too much. In other words, as long as I deal with it properly, you still have a chance to defeat me..."
After saying that, he waved to Okules, "Come on, kid. In the first battle, I will play an ordinary apprentice, only using shallow shaping spells that require a long time to chant the spell, and the most basic protective spell."
Under the gaze of everyone, Oculus walked into the venue. He was very nervous because this was his first battle with magic. He looked at his friend Valtoi uneasy, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and saluted deeply to Ronin.
Luo Ning smiled and reminded: "Remember, my 'apprentice level' spell is very long, but once it is finished, it can still cause a considerable threat. Try to find my weakness. Come on, you can take the move first."
"Then...then I'll do it!"
Okules nodded reluctantly, raised his wand and activated it. A brilliant magical aura burst out from the top of the wand, which instantly turned into a burning fireball and flew towards Ronning.
Luo Ning moved sideways half a step without any haste, completely avoiding this spell.
"Okules, bows and arrows need to be aimed, let alone magic wands?" Ronin shook his head, "You should use your magic to lock me and point the direction for this fireball. Otherwise, it will not play the right role in the face of agile enemies."
For mages, magic wands are one of the essential magic equipment, and the ancient night elf mages are no exception. Depending on the types of enchantments, magic wands have a variety of functions, such as enhancing spell strength or boosting spirits.
The wand used by Okules was specially bought by Angma from the enchantress Padridge. After learning that he used it as a teaching, the original tutor of Talisa said that he would not accept any money, and he willingly came here to teach enchantment courses in order to repay Angma to help him avoid the tragedy of prison and to accept Talisa as his disciple.
This batch of magic wands is very good, and even if you use the eyes of later generations, you can't find any problems. Not only are the materials used all the best magic affinity materials, which can provide a variety of assistance, but it also solidifies more than a dozen common spells, including the fireball technique that Okules just used.
Since the wand itself has a certain magic storage effect, it will hardly consume the user's own magic power when activating the spells, and it also saves tedious time for chanting spells. There is a great room for exertion in any occasion. For apprentices with low strength, it is a must-have item for home travel, and the improvement of combat power is very significant.
But it depends on who uses it. At least Oculus cannot fully reflect the value of this wand.
"I...sorry." Okules scratched his head awkwardly, because what Ronin talked about was taught by the Basic Magic Academy long ago. As an outstanding graduate of the Secondary Magic Academy, it is a great shame to forget the most basic knowledge.
According to what Luo Ning said, he activated the wand again. This time, under the lock of magic, the fireball flew straight towards his opponent.
Luo Ning unfolded a barrier at the right time to resist the fireball. A voice came from afar from the rolling flames: "Be prepared, I'm going to launch a counterattack."
Okules was shocked. When the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, he found that Ronin, who was under the protection of the barrier, had already begun to recite spells. He was panicked and prepared protective spells while panicking, while throwing out the spells solidified in his wand to buy time for himself.
For a moment, the magic spells flew all over the field. An arcane missile on the left, another ice arrow, and even several invisible exploration spells were accidentally released. The ice barrier originally designed to protect the user was even neutralized with the inappropriate fireball technique, and turned into several pieces of broken ice scattered all over the ground.
He didn't even aim, and there were very few spells that hit Luo Ning, and most of them were wasted in vain. How could it play its due role?
Angma shook her head when she saw it.
Oculus' performance was too bad. He had never thought about using magic to defend against enemies. He had no relevant cognition in his mind. He was a typical flower that grew up in a greenhouse.
Fortunately, Ronin deliberately delayed the time of chanting the spell. When the most basic fireball technique flew towards Okules, Okules successfully summoned a magic barrier in front of him.
With a "boom", the fireball that hit the barrier suddenly burst out, and the blazing flames rolled to both sides, and the magic power was neutralized, and Okules behind him was not injured.
But Angma could see at a glance that because the hasty spell model was not stable, this defense had caused Okulus to consume one-third of his mana, several times the original one.
"Be careful, there is a second one." Luo Ning's voice came again.
Before Okules could be happy, he had to face the second fireball and could only grit his teeth and inject mana into the magic barrier in front of him.
But what shocked him was that the second fireball actually drew a clever arc in the air, completely bypassing his barrier, exploded several meters beside him, and he was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground.
He slapped the flames on his robe in a mess, "Cough... Cough... Master Luo Ning, I..."
Ronning said helplessly: "Okules, why did you solidify the barrier in front of you? Otherwise, I wouldn't have the opportunity to take advantage of it."
Angma sighed secretly. As soon as he was about to stop the competition, he saw Okules stand up and make a preparatory casting posture again.
"Are you sure?" Luo Ning asked.
Oculus nodded seriously, "Come again! I won't be so embarrassed this time."
"Well, get ready to take my third attack - remember, the enemy will never attack only your front!"
So the two sides once again opened their formation and started a confrontation across the air.
This is indeed a difficult situation for Luo Ning, because this level of duel is no different from a child playing house, and it cannot be called a battle. You are in the barrier, and I am also in the barrier. If you throw away the most basic energy-shaping spell, I will give you the same gift.
The battle between mages is not so simple. The eight magic schools have many magical magic, and the battlefield environment is changing rapidly. The showdown between the two mages should be like a ghost dance, deceiving the other party with illusions, launching a sudden blow from an unexpected angle. In the dual game between psychology and knowledge, find the weaknesses of the method and technique to restrain, accumulate advantages, and ultimately establish the victory. When it comes to the level of excitement, it will only be dazzling, rather than a turn-based game where you go back and forth.
But considering that this is just an enlightenment course, the first one to play was Okules, who was the worst at these, and Angma was not demanding much. While expecting the apprentices to surprise him, they were also deeply worried.
The Battle of Ancients was two years ahead of schedule, and these apprentices also lost two years of growth.
If it is in normal times, the night elves with long life do not need to take this time seriously. But the problem is that they have just grown up and are in the most important growth stage in their lives. The mind, personality, conception, and even knowledge are gradually established and established in the direction during this period. For them, the preciousness of time is self-evident.
Now that he has lost these two critical years, he doubts whether they, who are not yet mature, can have enough self-protection before the arrival of the ancient war.
As I thought about it, the battle between the two sides in the field was over.
Okulus' magic power was almost exhausted, and the same was true for Ronin, who limited his mana to an extremely low level. Both of them were ready to launch a final blow.
The expected spell did not appear. As soon as Okules's spell was halfway through, Ronning suddenly disappeared. The next second, the unique sound of the flash technique was heard, and Ronning suddenly appeared beside him and punched him in the stomach.
"Puff!" Okules' spells were held back, and he knelt on the ground and gasped, "Master Luo Ning, isn't this a spell duel? Why are you here?"
Ronin made a sword-drawing action, pointing to Okules' throat, "I never get tired of cheating, Okules. I have never said that I will not launch a close-range attack. If I had a real sword in my hand, you would be a dead person now."
"cocoa……"
"Do you want to learn the flash spell I just used?" Luo Ning helped him up and said with a smile, "If you can pass the assessment next time, I will teach you."
Seeing the expectant look on Okules' face, Angma was very moved. Ronin was indeed a very good teacher.
After confirming that the thin apprentice was not discouraged by failure, and without having to deliberately encourage him, Angma looked at the next apprentice, "Talisa, it's your turn."
But Talisa didn't move, just frowned and stared at the ground, looking deeply troubled.
Angma asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you worried?"
