For the strong, actual combat is always the best tester. No matter how advanced and seemingly powerful a move is, it is worthless if it cannot be verified in actual combat.
The recent battle with Rosemary's (Kalokhin) Army of the Dead should be the most intense battle since my rebirth. For me, it was not only an actual battle, but also a good opportunity to test my abilities and clarify my future development path.
There are many problems exposed in the battle, the most obvious of which is that the ability system is too complicated, lacks a decisive killing move, and the combination of abilities and role positioning is slightly confusing.
Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is often the patent of the long-lived species, not only because they have enough time to squander and can reach the peak in magic and martial arts at the same time, nor is it just their natural abilities and attributes that allow them to reach levels that the short-lived species cannot reach.
The most fundamental state of the world is the inheritance of secret skills that allow magic and martial arts to be superimposed and take effect at the same time.
The Dusk Blade and the Emerald Thorn are the most terrifying sharp knife powers of the elves. Those warriors wielding magic swords are equipped with thin leather armor, choose the most suitable buffs, blade enchantment magic, and long years of training to enable them to fight in battle.
His skills are not inferior to any of his opponents, and the magic sword in his sleeve is even more deadly.
It is good at adding various abilities to itself and the magic sword against its opponents. As long as it is prepared in advance, the Twilight Blade, whose fighting style seems wild but is actually cautious and intelligent, is a killing machine that can defeat a hundred on the battlefield, while the Emerald Thorn specializes in
Develop various stealth, perception-eliminating, and anti-detection spells. Facing them, you have to be prepared for the weird situation where your opponent disappears four or five times in a hundred days. The prerequisite is that you must first dodge the deadly sneak attacks. This is the most troublesome super attack for mages.
assassin.
The blood demon swordsmen of the Vampires, the golden armors of the dwarves, the forbidden demon hunters, and the cursed gun dancers of the black winged people are the most common and notorious death knights who make all living beings tremble.
It should be regarded as a classic unit that also has the advantages of magic and martial arts.
Unlike human high-level soldiers who rely on equipment and mounts, these special inheritances often appear in the form of advanced professions. They have unique fighting and training methods, which are accumulated by immortal species for countless years, and there is basically no possibility of external transmission.
Maybe they are not many in number, but once they appear on the battlefield, they will definitely be a nightmare for aliens.
Of course, humans have also made efforts in this area. This is how the gold-level magic knight of the Arcane Knight was born, but in fact, that advanced level is also a famously useless profession. It requires extremely talented people, and as a knight, you cannot wear clothes in order to cast spells.
He is heavily armored. As a melee fighter, he is weaker than the warriors and paladins of the same level, and the only thing he can use is the fireball technique.
Yes, what this magic knight is best at is the three-ring flame magic fireball technique. It may be effective in low-level battles, but if you can advance to the gold level and fight, no one will be afraid of your three-ring magic.
Supporters of the Arcane Knights have also argued hard, and together with the fire method, they have proposed the theory that "five fireballs overlapped in one position can destroy everything, and we don't need other magic at all." The weird "Five Fireballs Cult" is here.
Birth.
In fact, in the final analysis, magic and martial arts are not perfectly combined, and there is no clear role positioning.
In my eyes, the reason why the Arcane Knights failed (even though the number of new Arcane Knights each year never exceeds single digits, the Five Fireball God Cult still does not admit its failure) is mainly because they really spread their energy into two unrelated fields.
Go, he tried to fight in close combat, but he was omnipotent from a distance, and the result was that he was both useless.
The reason why those foreign races are successful in advancing is undoubtedly because they determine a goal and expertise, and then use magic and martial arts to make that expertise blossom and bear fruit. However, abilities that do not help the goal, no matter how useful they are, will not be chosen.
Practice.
The most obvious thing is that those successful dual-cultivation professions are all powerful melee or powerful long-range. No one intends to crush the warriors in melee like the Arcane Knight. The long-range fireball blasts away the mage, but in the end, the opponent stares at the shortcomings and crushes them.
One specialty has multiple strengths, and "specialization" is the core to realize one's own role positioning. Let other strengths make up for shortcomings, and use strengths to make "specialization" more prominent. This is almost the general idea of a warrior with multiple abilities.
So, if I, who possess four powers, develop the four powers evenly and try to create an all-round warrior, I will probably end up becoming a useless arcane knight.
"What am I best at? How can I use other strengths to turn my strengths into expertise and make up for my shortcomings..."
After completing my reincarnation and resurrection, I have been thinking about this question, and I already have an answer.
"If you are forced to choose a profession, the death knight who also practices spiritualism is definitely the most suitable for you. If your holy light talent is ten points, the undead magic is twenty points, and the swordsmanship talent is at least forty points, and only the undead talent is at least forty points.
Adding sword skills can put you at the pinnacle of the death knight. Didn't you see that Reinhardt, the strongest death knight in Ciro, took the initiative to be your forever younger brother? In the final analysis, it is because you are already a death knight.
The field is unprecedented and unprecedented.”
"Bah, I am a paladin, and I can also ice..."
"Ahem, don't say that I taught you the ice spell. I can't afford to disgrace this person. If your Holy Light talent is ten points, then the ice spell talent is at most 0.1 points! My head was caught in the door panel.
, will teach you ice magic according to your request. Let me ask you, have you learned a new ice magic since you realized the essence of ice again."
Of course...no! If you have this time, why not practice pieces and study undead creations? There is nothing better than this hopeless ice magic.
Sure enough, my straightforward answer was met with the angry dead cat biting me one after another.
As a tutor, Heloise is still qualified. Although most of the people she teaches are rebels and perverts, she is still outstanding at least in teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Although this kind of advanced personality education is also becoming more and more weird among the disciples.
Many root causes.
Cough, I can’t say it anymore, otherwise that damn cat will play some nasty revenge again. It felt so bad to be smeared with milk in the morning. Last time, I had white sticky paper stuck to my hand. It took me all morning to ask for it.
Renee, who woke me up, explained clearly.
However, judging from what he said about talent, Dead Cat has already mentioned what I am best at - swordsmanship.
As Adam sarcastically said to me before, while other paladins use human shields as their basic function, using magic and holy light to enhance their defense and auxiliary abilities, and become the so-called team leader, what I am best at is aggression.
Absolute swordsmanship, even after several reincarnations. In the field of swordsmanship that a warrior is proud of, he has surpassed most sword masters in this world. This is undoubtedly a rather speechless ironic joke in itself, and it has always made swordsmanship in this world
The crowned Adam was indignant.
"The great sword master who can't even beat the Holy Knight in the field of swordsmanship? And he is one of the best swordsmen in the world? What a joke!"
It's a pity that he will grow, and I will grow too. In the end, I still overwhelmed him. I'm afraid Adam's biggest regret during the underground world was that he still couldn't defeat me with swordsmanship until the end.
But it is a matter of course. My swordsmanship talent is indeed good. Not to mention, the power of swordsmanship is a skill, and when the skill is honed and raised to the realm of art, it is the perception and understanding of life and the world. These things can
It has been washed away by reincarnation, but it is not difficult to pick it up again.
In a sense, I am the real immortal and the long-lived species. While other long-lived species waste their time extravagantly and enjoy two hundred years of childhood, I regard time as life like the short-lived species.
, thinking about it every day, trying to gain something
.The battles and experiences I have experienced today are probably incomparable to the accumulation of a dozen heroic spirits. When these insights and skills settle down, when the sword skills and mysteries accumulated in three lives finally change from quantitative to qualitative, I don’t think
That sword master can do what I do.
In my eyes, the orc sword master is too crude and lacks sensibility, while the elf sword master pursues the limits of his skills and ignores the cruel essence of the art of killing. If the two are combined and the sword skills of the two races are practiced at the same time, there may be a pure sword master.
Super Sword Master.
As for the dwarf sword master and the human sword master? Those dwarves actually dare to call their own sword master, just relying on the dwarf's downward slash, the dwarf rolling knife, and the dwarf mountain axe? The human sword master is even more of a joke, with 70% ability
Are they exactly the same, a parallel swordsman who can't even do the sword energy without the equipment? I usually look at it as a joke.
So, my future development path is already very clear, with sword skills in close combat as my specialty and other strengths as auxiliaries and bonuses.
However, pure swordsmanship will still encounter bottlenecks in the top showdowns. Not to mention those physically immune creatures, the huge bodies and thick protection of creatures such as big demons and giant dragons. Just rely on the "small" in the hands of the sword master.
"Toothpick" is too uncomfortable to deal with, otherwise we wouldn't have worked so hard to win the inheritance of the phoenix for Adam, so that he could have the phoenix flame as an auxiliary sword skill.
And when I decided to focus on close combat swordsmanship and use other forces as assistance, I determined the direction for the future, and the road suddenly became broader.
"The Secret of Sword Dance: Running Water and Quick Sword"
The magic of ice gathered on the real ice sword, and the stream-like sword intention turned into the beautiful glacier in my hometown under the influence of the magic of ice. Therefore, I changed its name to it.
"The Secret of the Ice Sword: A Flash of Glacier!"
The clear and translucent ice sword is as beautiful as a luxurious crystal sword, and as the sword path flows like a river, the unfolding sword energy and freezing energy turn into a beautiful glacier in mid-air, and then, when reality and illusion overlap
, the water surface in front of us and the sea tribe turned into part of the glacier at the same time.
The moment he was frozen, the proud Naga officer still commanded the encirclement and suppression of the murlocs and sea beasts arrogantly. The swarming army of murlocs turned into dynamic ice sculptures, and the leaping fish and waves were frozen at the end.
At that moment, in front of that glacier, all living beings did not react at all, and their memories still stopped at that frozen moment.
With the addition of ice magic, the secrets that were obviously just containment turned into extremely aggressive and large-scale secrets. Looking around, all the confused besiegers in the first thirty meters have been cleared away.
The frozen river water became the best runway.
"Um?"
The first combination of sword skills and ice magic resulted in the power of one plus one being greater than three. Even I was surprised. After all, I had never seen such an outrageous bonus in my private attempts.
"Oh, it's me. I'm quite talented at playing ice. Even Bailong is no match for us!"
Irene's voice sounded beneath me, and I suddenly realized,
Ice Og is the pinnacle of ice and snow creatures. The power of ice and snow she brings to me is dozens of times that of my current bronze-level self, and her ability to control ice elements is not as bad as mine. When I make a move
At that time, she was not idle either. She was training for me, controlling the ice elements, and adjusting with my secrets. This was like the parallel computing of a dual-core CPU, which abruptly increased the power of this move countless times.
Okay. I know some people will complain that the metaphor of the magical world is not appropriate. I also know that if Irene is considered the most advanced CPU, but I originally estimated that it can only be regarded as an old-fashioned 386, let's make do with it. Isn't this just an analogy?
But at this time, I realized that I had underestimated the effectiveness of external objects. It is true that my ice talent is very poor. But if I can teach Irene Bella how to deal with it, wouldn't it make up for the shortcomings perfectly? In the same way, I
If the power of death, the power of holy light, and the power of law are given to other demon pets to increase their power and create more sub-cores, the combat power may also skyrocket.
"Heloise!"
Okay. At this time, I decisively thought of the "Omniscient One" Heloise, but the current Heloise has only knowledge and skills, but does not have a body with commensurate strength and attributes, which obviously cannot meet my requirements.
"The plans for Heloise's thirty-seventh transformation (revisions about the discoloration of the limbs) and Heloise's thirty-eighth transformations (revisions of the three transformations) will be launched as soon as possible. By the way, there is also Super Cat Leo!
Well, you can also add at least a dozen transformation plans, including the ability to grow bigger after eating mushrooms and throw fireballs after eating flowers. Haha, it seems very interesting."
At this time, it is obviously not the time to think about these messy things. I am not far from my destination. It is really great to rush into the enemy group single-handedly and come out seven in and seven out, but this kind of thing is tantamount to exposing myself to the entire battlefield.
Above all, if the commander of the opposing army is not a fool, sooner or later he will send elite troops to intercept.
And sure enough, as I passed the corner, two sea giants suddenly appeared in front of me.
The huge sea giants can barely reach the city wall, and they are considered big among the giant family. With rusty anchors as weapons, they are extremely powerful. Adult sea giants on the ground have at least human gold level combat power, but if they are in the water,
Once the talent of making huge waves unfolds, not even the giant dragon dares to compete with them.
Their most well-known hobby, in addition to fighting sea dragons, is to cause trouble for ships. Countless ships have been sunk by them. But the reason for attacking is often simple and incredible. They just see and hope to get a good weapon. There is no basic knowledge in the water.
It is impossible to open a furnace for forging, and metal weapons in the sea are difficult to handle. Only large ships have large anchors that are convenient for giants to use, and they can also use the crew to supplement meals.
When the unfortunate news spread, some ships simply brought giant war anchors to use as payment for passage. But unfortunately, the happy sea giants often took the payment for passage first and then removed your anchor as a spare.
, and then use you to add meals.
"The reason why we don't keep our words? Ha, little one, can you communicate with barnacles and sea cucumbers? Well, neither can we."
This is a lesson that a certain "smart" navigator who gave away a heavy anchor to pay for his passage bought with his life.
Giants with rough skin and flesh are difficult to deal with, and the sea giant, who was born as a son of the ocean, is even more of a giant among giants. The two giants were slightly staggered, and their huge bodies blocked the street. As the giants stamped their feet,
The furious waves have begun to surge, and anyone caught by the waves will definitely be crushed on the spot.
In the block behind the opposite party, the Church of the God of Law is shining with dazzling divine light, and the invisible gallows is already covered with the corpses of the sea people. As the True God Church in the realm of God, before the city fell
, will not fall. He who is guilty of war crimes and genocide dares to break into the palace of the God of Law. Should we praise the Hai tribe for their lack of information and heartlessness?
According to the rules of the divine war, when the city finally changes hands, the statues of the gods may also be defiled.
But at this time, I had no time to worry about my statue. The giants were already in front of me.
"Little insect, don't move! Let Labaha crush you to death!"
"Knight? Another tin can. Burns doesn't like cans. Suga!"
Being blocked by Juju means there is no way out, but at this time, I have no choice.
"Since there is no other way... the brave who meets the narrow road will win!"
The Ice Dragon Spear spun violently, and Irene began to speed up, while my other hand suddenly swung the sword to draw water, splashing large splashes of water.
"What a useless trick of a little bug! Let Rabaha scream as hard as he can, Rabaha loves to watch the last performance of the little bug!"
The sea giants in the water are far more agile than those on land. With a gentle grab by La Baha, a thick wall of waves suddenly appeared on the water surface to block the charge.
And then, just as the tip of the spear barely broke through the wall, the giant had already grabbed the top of the dragon spear that was still charging at high speed. Although the rotating tip of the spear cut his left hand, the heavy anchor in his right hand slammed towards the knight's position.
The ground waved down.
"Is this the end? It's so boring!"
"Boom!"
A huge anchor weighing several tons fell, gravel and snowflakes flew at the same time, and the whole neighborhood shook violently.
"Huh? A little insect?"
But when the giants discovered that their target had disappeared, it was already too late. Then, under the cover of the waves set off by both the enemy and ourselves, I, who had long since abandoned my dragon spear, had already stepped into the giant's side.
"Mystery: Blade Storm!"
As I spun around, the spinning whirlwind of ice and snow began to emerge as the ice and snow summoned by the loli snow girl floating in mid-air.
[Mysteries of Swordsmanship: Blade Storm: Using this skill, you will turn into a high-speed rotating blade storm. The fast rotating blade and sword energy will severely damage all nearby enemy ground troops. 】
At first, it was just a normal sword storm, but when the power of frost on the swords began to leak out or even overflow, the whole world began to snow.
The originally invisible sword energy turned into ice blades and ice spikes under the penetration of ice and snow, which greatly increased the power of the original sword storm.
And this is just the beginning, what's more fatal is an unexpected surprise.
At this time, water continued to be sucked into the whirlwind, and then condensed into ice cubes and ice arrows at high speed as the ice whirlwind, and then was violently thrown out by the centrifugal force. I inexplicably turned into a top that kept shooting ice arrows.
Under the full blessing of Irene in the form of the snow girl in the air, each ice blade rotated at high speed is enough to compare with the ice arrows thrown by the silver ice method. The power of a single one may not be terrible, but when the number is so large that it can cover up the ice arrows.
When all eyes are on, Blade Storm has changed from a universal legendary range killing secret to a holy level magic sword secret with astonishing lethality.
The whirlwind of ice was still spinning crazily. Houses, thin ice, and lamp posts, no matter what they were in the past, were instantly smashed into pieces under the dense rain of ice arrows.
And when I finally stopped dizzy, there was nothing left around me. The two extremely strong sea giants had turned into a hornet's nest, with thousands of ice arrows embedded in their flesh. The one far away was still breathing, but
The one closest to him had his head covered with ice arrows, and it was obvious that he could no longer survive.
And when the giants fell to the ground with a crash and I gasped weakly on the ground, Kolos, who came to rescue me with a thunderstorm, had already arrived.
"Great, sir, you're okay! Everything is in chaos now, what should we do?!"
I gritted my teeth and struggled to stand up. Every second I delayed was getting more dangerous.
"Everyone gather together, take away the baggage and food, and we will fight out!"
PS: Tomorrow I will start participating in the Qidian novice training class. I will have classes during the day and exchange writing experiences at night... As everyone knows, I have no manuscripts, so I can only try to keep updated through gaps. If there are any missing updates, I will make up for them later.
By the way, I obviously didn’t save the manuscript, and the day after tomorrow will be miserable. In order to keep the storyline intact, I updated 5,500 chapters today and refused to divide them. It seems that I am a bit desperate.
The one who said we updated less, in June we updated 210,000, an average of 7,000 a day, which is not that few among professional authors, not to mention Squirrel is a part-time author who takes one day off a week, why does it always happen on Saturdays? Because
Just take that day off. June is really hard for us...
Okay, let’s stop talking nonsense. The days are still long and we still need to continue to work hard. In the short term, I will continue to code tomorrow’s update. In the long term, I still have a lot of shortcomings. I hope I can learn more skills in reading books this time.
, let your grades get better, and you can write full-time as soon as possible.
Finally, I would like to sincerely thank everyone for their enthusiastic support, otherwise Squirrel would not have made it to where it is today.
