Chapter 249 Shadow Witchcraft
This battle wizard's notebook, which is almost as thick as the Herbal Encyclopedia, now only has seventeen pages left, and the content of the seventeen pages is not coherent, because there is no complete context, so it is difficult to read. From the damage to the damaged pages
It is not difficult to see that someone deliberately tore off those pages. The reason may be related to the complex magic runes composed of Turing roots hidden on the pages.
The moment he opened the wizard's notebook, the first thing Leo noticed was not the content written on the pages, but the deliberately hidden spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from each page.
The magic runes on the pages that Leo could see through his spiritual vision, excluding the stone ball used to imprison the Eye of Truth, should be the magic runes carved in a special way on the pages in his hand.
The most complicated Turing root I have ever seen, it consists of fifty-seven different Turing roots. And these fifty-seven Turing roots are not all, because of the combination, these pictures
The spiritual roots are constantly recombined and new Turing roots evolve, so in the end the Turing roots contained in this magic rune are probably an extremely large number.
Although Leo didn't understand the function of these magic runes, he was sure that each page contained a complete and powerful witchcraft. Judging from the damage of the notes, the method of using this witchcraft should be after tearing it off.
, stimulated in some way.
It can be seen that this notebook is not like the wizard's notebook he saw before, which only records the wizard's knowledge. This wizard's notebook is more likely to be a magic book whose production method has long since disappeared.
The earliest record I saw about magic books was the wizard's notebook of the Wizard of the Wilderness. In that notebook, there was a mention of a magic book of magic items that wizards used before the tower. However, the Wizard of the Wilderness did not mention it in detail.
As for the contents of this wizarding artifact, it was only briefly mentioned that the method of making the magic book had long been lost in the tower.
After that, Leo saw information about magic books again. It was among the miscellaneous books purchased in Hushang Town. One of the miscellaneous books recorded the deeds of the first generation and chief wizard, the founder of the Wizards Association. It was recorded in the book.
He also mentioned some of the wizarding artifacts most frequently used by the First Chief, among which was the dark magic book he made himself, and also mentioned some of the functions of the magic book.
The biggest function of the magic book is not to record the knowledge of wizards, but to store the most commonly used and powerful witchcraft by wizards. Through the special power of the magic book, the wizard can consume any spell-casting materials without any prior preparation.
For example, under the premise of chanting incantations, casting seals, etc., these extremely high-level powerful witchcraft can be used.
According to records, the First Chief at that time used his dark magic book to instantly cast a powerful magic called Dark Sky Curtain, sending tens of thousands of dream spirits into a place called the Dark Realm in the blink of an eye.
Kill each other until they are all dead.
It is not difficult to see that the wizard's notebook in Leo's hand should be a magic book. Unfortunately, the person who obtained this book before did not know the correct use of this magical artifact, but he found a one-time magic book.
The usage completely destroyed this magic book.
From this point of view, there is probably a huge difference between the witches and wizards in the witch group. The so-called witchcraft they perform is probably their own innate ability. They do not need to learn a lot of wizard knowledge and practice various witchcraft like wizards.
, to master the ability to cast spells. Otherwise, Su would never have given him such a precious magic book so easily. Perhaps in Su's view, it was just a notebook recording wizards' combat skills.
The seventeen pages of mysterious witchcraft that remain in this magic book cannot be used by Leo for the time being, and may not be used for a long time in the future. After all, it is very difficult to decipher the magic runes on it, even if he
Have an extraordinary brain.
Compared to deciphering these seventeen pages of magic runes, it might be easier for Leo to find out how to make a magic book from this broken notebook.
However, the original intention of obtaining this magic book in the first place, the knowledge of combat wizards recorded on those seventeen pages may be something that Leo can use now.
Obviously the wizard who made the magic book and the person who recorded the knowledge of combat wizards are not the same person. Although the content of these seventeen pages is very obscure and difficult to understand because there is no context, Leo can still analyze from these obscure words.
Come up with something useful.
For example, a witchcraft technique called metamagic technique and a combat example of a combat wizard.
This super-magic technique originated from the rune witchcraft of the tower wizard. The magic runes and magic circles that Leo has mastered are classified as rune witchcraft, and this super-magic technique uses runes.
Witchcraft gives wizards a method similar to the natural abilities of witches. Through this super magic technique, wizards can perform some pre-prepared witchcraft anytime and anywhere, some of which are similar to the functions of magic books, except that this method is tattooed on the body and exists permanently.
of.
Leo didn't know the name of this super magic technique, because the name should be recorded on another damaged page, but judging from the technique used, this super magic technique should be called very suitable.
Tattoo for magic.
This kind of magic tattoo requires the preparation of a very special tattoo potion. Fortunately, although the materials required for the potion are precious, they can still be found. Most of the herbs have been cultivated artificially, and a few rare mineral materials can be purchased for a little money.
Can be purchased.
It's a pity that the currently recorded method of making magic tattoos seems to be a low-level magic tattoo. The witchcraft that is not only used for magic tattoos can only choose those low-level witchcrafts. Even the quantity is limited. Today's magic tattoos
The picture can only accommodate three kinds of witchcraft, and a wizard can only have two such magic tattoos on his body.
Although there is no record of the adverse effects of exceeding the limit of magic tattoos in those notes, according to Leo's understanding of witchcraft and psychic powers, any use of this supernatural power beyond the limit will definitely have consequences.
disastrous.
However, for any wizard, the current world of Velen has six kinds of witchcraft that can be performed at any time like innate abilities, which is enough, and there is no need to think of additional ways to add more magic tattoos.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is the choice of the six witchcrafts, because once the magic tattoo is engraved on the body, it may not be as simple as when you want to modify it.
On the pages of the book, there is only one method for removing magic tattoos, which is the water of the Styx. Leo has no idea what the water of the Styx is, but literally translates it as the river of death.
In the combat example of a combat wizard recorded in the notes, the fighting wizard's fighting style and the six kinds of witchcraft he used for magic tattoos were listed in detail. Leo happened to know all six kinds of witchcraft.
The six kinds of witchcraft including weakening ray, silent phantom, trance, ghost hand, mirror image and energy exhaustion are the magic tattoo witchcraft chosen by this combat wizard, and these six kinds of witchcraft are all low-level witchcraft. According to
Calculating the level of wizards now, any normal wizard knows these six kinds of witchcraft.
But relying on these six low-level witchcraft, this combat wizard was able to create an illusory realm around his body, causing all those who broke in to gradually weaken and eventually die in the illusory world.
In the recorded instance, this combat wizard used these six low-level witchcrafts to deal with a monster named Valetta, and consumed the monster alive in the illusory realm.
Leo happened to have read about Bayetta in a collection of Velen folklore. If what was written in that book were true, there would definitely be four monsters named Bayetta.
With the power of a fifth-level psyker, even if he wants to kill such a monster now, it will take a lot of effort. It can be seen that the effect of this magic tattoo is definitely not just the effect of six low-level witchcraft.
There must be some secrets hidden in it that Leo has not yet discovered.
Leo has no intention of combining his magic tattoo in the way of this battle wizard. He has his own considerations. At the same time, he also feels that there seems to be room for improvement in this magic tattoo, so he needs a period of research before he can make a decision.
What is the magic tattoo that is finally engraved on your body?
However, because of the record of the battle process in this instance, Leo also learned a little about the way wizards fought in high towers in the past. Simply put, wizards stayed in a safe place and used witchcraft to control, weaken and kill them.
Enemies, only when absolutely necessary, wizards will use witchcraft that has obvious lethality but will reveal their position to confront the enemy head-on.
Although Leo doesn't agree with this fighting method in his heart, he has to admit that this fighting method is the most effective and safe way. Even if he encounters a strong enemy, he can retreat calmly. Unlike him who knew how to fight at the beginning.
He uses some assassination methods to deal with the enemy, but once he confronts the enemy head-on, he will rush to the front and fight in close combat. If he encounters a strong enemy that he cannot resist, he may not even have a chance to escape.
"It seems that there are indeed some problems with my fighting method." Leo carefully analyzed his fighting method and felt that it was necessary to improve it and formulate a new fighting procedure to suit his own abilities.
After Leo had made his decision, he continued to try to improve his fighting methods, and the Black Forest monsters and Familia who tried to attack the refugees were the best targets for him to test his improved fighting methods.
.
After every battle, he could find many areas for improvement, and he also found that many of the witchcraft he had mastered were very powerful, but not suitable for his fighting style, and some were average in power, but they were able to match his own.
The fighting styles work together perfectly.
And as he continued to improve his fighting methods and continued to find his own witchcraft, he found that his fighting style became more and more like the fighting style of the Dark Star Shadow Blade.
The Dark Stars are a very unique alien race in the universe where the Earth Federation is located. Their home planet was destroyed by an adult star-eating whale when the earth's civilization was still a primitive tribe, leaving only less than five people.
100,000 people, and these 500,000 people make up the Dark Star Tribe, the most famous wandering race in the universe.
Although the home planet of the Dark Stars was destroyed and the race was almost extinct, this did not mean that the Dark Stars were weak. In fact, when the Earth Federation entered the universe, the population of the Dark Stars was only over one million.
There are two people who have evolved to the level of Omega-level advanced creatures, and everyone in the whole family possesses two or more levels of psychic power. They are one of the few psychic races in the universe.
Just like several other psionic races, the Dark Stars are also the focus of research by various alien civilizations, especially paying the greatest attention to their various psionic combat units, and all of these psionic combat units are
The Shadow Blade, which is composed of fifth-level psykers, attracts the most attention.
The Blades of Shadow are the special operations forces of the Dark Stars. The mission they perform is the same as Leo's original mission, which is to sneak into the enemy's military base or rear areas to engage in sabotage, assassination, etc. when a war breaks out. The only difference is that
The difference between the two is that one simply uses technological weapons to fight, while the other relies on his own psychic powers.
The most famous psychic abilities of the Shadow Blade are Shadow Walking and Shadow Realm. Shadow Walking, as the name suggests, is the ability to move silently between the shadows of any object, and can even attack targets through the shadow itself, while Shadow Realm is even more
Powerful, it directly sends the target area into a shadow subspace, using the power of the subspace itself to destroy the target and everything around it.
Among witchcraft, there are witchcraft similar to Shadow Walking and Shadow Realm, but the power and effect are much weaker, and they are all high-level witchcraft. Leo only knows the name and effect, but does not know the method of use.
.
But Leo was able to use some of the low-level witchcraft he now mastered, combined with the power of nightmares, to imitate the virtual and real state of the Black Forest monsters and the Familia, and formed his own shadow witchcraft. He could use shadows like the Dark Star people, and
Kill the target silently from a long distance. Because this kind of shadow witchcraft was created by Leo during this period, it is imperfect in many places and has loopholes. For example, it consumes more spiritual energy and nightmare power than using similar witchcraft alone.
It would be a lot more, but he believed that once he perfected his shadow witchcraft, his strength would definitely not be weaker than the Dark Star's Shadow Blade.
Now, Leo is becoming more and more fond of his new fighting method. Just now, he used the shadow dagger improved from the two witchcrafts of the Master's Hand and the Shadow Sting to directly hide in the dark more than two hundred meters away.
A dozen black forest monsters waiting for an opportunity were easily dispatched.
This is one of the reasons why he is becoming more and more accustomed to the new fighting method. The shadow witchcraft integrated with the power of nightmares can actually ignore the subspace state between the virtual and the real monsters in the Black Forest, and kill those monsters like normal assassinations.
