"Look at your taste, you're a heroine, you look like a bandit!" Gao Fei complained angrily.
Jiang Feng was concerned about Ma Yun's safety and ignored the retort. He watched nervously the showdown between Ma Yun and Istna through the wall of air.
Knowing that there was a huge gap in strength between herself and Istna, it was almost impossible to defeat this overly powerful opponent, but Ma Yun did not give up resistance, endured the pain and got up, and remotely controlled the "volley sword" to slash at Istna.
The hag's daughter sneered, raised her hand and fired another "Dispel Technique", shrouding the "Sky Sword" in a green light curtain.
The magic attached to the "Sky Sword" was dissipated and turned back into an ordinary long sword, which clanged to the ground.
Istna continued to cast spells, first using a bonus action to place a dark red magic mark on Ma Yun, and then waved out three magic missiles trailing purple light.
Three missiles roared and hit Ma Yun, sending her thin body flying into the air. She fell on her back on the river beach and was immediately on the verge of death.
hp-30!
Seeing the blood-red numbers exploding on Ma Yun's head, Gao Fei suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"Wori! Three magic missiles deal 30 points of damage? This is unscientific!"
One missile is 1d6, and the three of them can only do 18 points of damage in total. How could it be so much higher?
What kind of perverted tricks did this witch Istna use?
"Could it be a critical hit?" Jiang Feng guessed.
Similar to physical attacks, magic attacks also have a 5% chance of triggering a critical hit, doubling the damage.
"If there is such a possibility, let me take a look first!"
Gao Fei hurriedly opened the astrolabe and checked the battle records, and found that things were more complicated than he thought.
The reason why the magic missiles released by Istna caused such ridiculously high damage was not because it triggered a critical hit, but because of the "mark of vulnerability" she had previously placed on Ma Yun and the mage's professional ability "Spell Sharpening".
…
Level 1 "Mark of Fragility" (School of Necromancy): Bonus action casting, duration 1 hour; designate any hostile creature within 120 feet, mark it, and any attack launched against the creature will deal an additional 1d6 damage; the creature
After death, a new mark target can be replaced until the spell time expires. This mark cannot be saved. "Remove Curse", "Restoration", "Break Barrier", "Counter Good and Evil" and similar abilities can
It is lifted; creatures that are immune to the curse are not affected by the "mark of vulnerability".
…
Spell sharpening: When releasing a lethal spell, the caster can calculate his own spellcasting attribute modification into the spell damage. If the spell can attack multiple targets separately, such as "magic missiles", or launch multiple strikes on the same target, such as
"Seering Ray", then each individual attack can be strengthened by "Spell Sharpening".
…
"Fragile Mark" is similar to the Ranger's 1st level natural magic "Hunter's Mark", the difference is that "Hunter's Mark" can only increase damage to weapons, while "Fragile Mark" is effective on both weapons and offensive spells.
A simple calculation shows that when Istna releases magic missiles, the total basic damage of the three missiles is 3d6.
Each missile can receive the bonuses of "Mark of Fragility" and "Spell Sharpening", which will increase the damage by an additional 1d65 points, for a total increase of 3d615.
Add the two together, which is 6d615.
Istna dealt 30 points of damage to Ma Yun, which was even slightly lower than mathematical expectations.
Based on the damage bonus provided by "Spell Sharpening", it is not difficult for Gao Fei to deduce that Istna's intelligence attribute is 20 or 21 points.
After understanding this problem, Gao Fei couldn't help but secretly regret it.
If he had known Istna's routine earlier, he should have taken the opportunity to imitate "Fragile Mark" and "Magic Missile" just now and learn this trick.
It's a pity to miss the opportunity, but don't worry too much.
NPCs like Istna, who play a very important role, will have a lot of opportunities to appear in the future, so they can just learn from it when the time comes.
Poor classmate Xiaoma was beaten to the street by Estna's crazy output. His current health value is "-17" and he is hovering on the edge of life and death.
Fortunately, she can still make a death saving throw.
If the health point lost just now is 1 more point, the overflow damage reaches the maximum health value (18), and there is no chance to make a death saving throw, and the card will be torn directly.
Gao Fei then thought about it, could this be too much of a coincidence?
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a plot designed in advance - the protagonist is deliberately not killed, leaving only his last breath.
So, will a savior appear next?
The result was really as expected.
Just when Ma Yun's magical weapon master was dying, a clear ringing sound suddenly came from the forest behind him.
The breeze was blowing on the treetops, and under the dim moonlight, a unicorn with pure white fur, like a silver sculpture, walked quickly out of the woods.
On the back of the unicorn is a woman wearing a white robe and a mithril crown. Her pointed ears, beautiful face, and hair hanging down to her waist all indicate that she has elf blood.
Gives people a noble and elegant impression.
Next to this half-elf lady riding a unicorn, there is a long-nosed panda floating in the air. It is the dream tapir Panda that Ma Yun saw in her dream before.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng looked at each other and felt relieved.
Seeing the dream tapir, it was not difficult for them to guess that the beautiful and elegant lady must be the Witch of the North, Ed Pere!
Istna was also looking at the uninvited guest coming into the forest.
She had obviously recognized the other party's identity, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she was unwilling to let the cooked duck fly away, gritted her teeth, and quickly made a series of spell-casting gestures.
The Witch of the North gave her a cold look, then suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Ma Yun lying on the grass.
A transparent spherical force field shield wrapped the unconscious girl and blocked her from the magic missiles fired by Istna.
"hateful!"
Istna screamed in anger and turned to use the "Fireball Technique", intending to blow away the witch who came out of the way.
Adpel sneered and waved his hand, using the "Dispersion Technique" to counter Istna's "Fireball Technique". Then he flicked his fingers, and the electric sparks burst out from his fingertips, turning into a dazzling "Lightning Beam".
Went back.
Click!
Istna was hit in the chest by the "lightning beam", burning smoke was rising all over her body, and her hair stood up like a hedgehog.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng couldn't help laughing when they saw her embarrassed and funny look.
"Daughter of Evanora, get out of here!"
The Witch of the North scolded coldly.
Istna's face was so angry that she was helpless that her magic power was not as good as Edpel's. If she didn't know what to do and angered the Witch of the North, who was known for her kind-hearted temper, she might not be able to save her life!
Reluctantly suppressing her shame and anger, Istna took out the "heart-shaped stone" from her pocket, extracted the magic power contained in this stone, her figure quickly faded, and she was transported to the spirit world to seek refuge.
Before leaving, he also dropped an angry and harsh word.
