Was the assumption about wandless spellcasting wrong from the start?
Joel fell into deep thought. He repeatedly simulated the two methods of casting spells, looking for the differences.
The running speed of the eight-legged horse is really not slow, but the atrium is too huge, and it will take a long time to reach the North Sea. Joel did not use apparation to directly reach the destination. He had to wait and see what kind of mess the atrium was now.
What does it look like.
Many monsters will eventually go to Asgard to fight the gods to the death. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated. Joel knows this well.
Sleipnir's eight gray hooves stepped heavily on the ground, and he jumped up high again, just ten feet away. His swollen muscles were graceful, and he flew past like a silvery white lightning. Joel sat on it.
He could hear the heavy breathing beneath him and the crisp sound of horse hooves treading on the scorched earth.
The civil war in the human kingdom has been going on for some time. When Joel passed by, he could see corpses strewn across the fields. Some vultures landed happily on the corpses and began to enjoy a delicious meal called carrion. In addition, there were several packs of wolves everywhere.
Wandering.
They can't find fresh and delicious flesh and blood, so they can only look for corpses that have just died and have fresh meat to swallow them. When plants lose sunlight, they wither and become necrotic, which affects the entire food chain.
The wolves also discovered the powerful Joel and Sleipnir. They looked at each other and hesitated for a moment, but suppressed their hungry stomachs and did not come forward to cause trouble.
They are good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Whether it is this strange eight-legged horse or the strong human holding a spear on it, they all exude an unparalleled ferocious aura.
But there are always creatures that are not afraid of death. Three thin leopards rushed quickly from the withered woods, their eyes glowing green, they were completely hungry.
They headed towards Sleipnir under Joel. In the eyes of the three leopards, this fat and strong eight-legged horse was definitely enough to feed their family of three for a week. As for why this upright ape dared to
Riding horses and strutting around here was not something they would consider as they were extremely hungry.
Joel saw three lightning-fast yellow-black figures coming from his side, but he didn't panic. Not to mention himself, even if his mount Sleipnir took action, he could make these three hungry leopards lose their shape.
There is no return.
An idea came to his mind. It would be a good idea to use these animals that are not afraid of death to rush forward to practice their skills.
The magic power and spiritual power in the body were mixed into a ball, and they kept rotating along the body, going around for two weeks before being sent out.
At that time, three leopards had already rushed in front of Sleipnir. They opened their big mouths and bit excitedly at the horse meat that was within easy reach. They had been hungry for a long time, and they couldn't wait at this moment. They didn't have big brains.
All they can think about now is the taste of sharp teeth biting into the muscles of a horse.
Sleipnir suddenly stopped and raised three of his hooves, hitting the three leopards with incomparable precision. At the same time, Joel's long-simmering magic power also came out.
The flames hit the body of a leopard that flew backwards, and instantly swept up and swallowed it up. Three seconds later, only a cloud of ashes fell.
The other two leopards were kicked hard by the eight-legged horse, and they only felt unbearable pain, and the bones in their bodies seemed to fall apart. When they looked up again, they saw that their family members had been reduced to ashes in the flames, and they quickly fled into the distance at a loss.
Sleipnir wanted to pursue him again, but Joel stopped him.
He stopped where he was, quietly thinking about the flames he had cast before.
In terms of power alone, this cluster of flames that burned the leopard to death was much stronger than the previous wandless spell. Sure enough, Joel's mental power could not quickly "tame" the magic power, and the two forces had to be let go.
Only when the energy is integrated and adapted in the body for a period of time can the spell cast have extraordinary power.
How did he cast the spell he used to follow Odin's instinctive habit?
Joel urged Sleipnir to move forward, still casting spells in his hand as he explored the difference between the two types of wandless spellcasting.
Sleipnir traveled all night in the wilderness, and it was not until the next morning that Joel heard the sound of waves crashing on the rocks.
Joel thought a lot this night. Wandless spellcasting is not just about combining magic and spiritual power. If it is really that simple, even in modern wizarding society, there should be many wizards who can discover this rule and pay attention to it.
Practices.
Wandless casting - there must be some kind of medium between the combination of mental power and magic power, which can neutralize and accelerate it.
Sleipnir came to the edge of the cliff and stopped, with the cold and biting water of the North Sea below.
It turned to look at Joel, and after receiving the owner's approval, it spread its hooves and plunged forward.
As an eight-legged Pegasus, Sleipnir can fly in the sky for a short period of time. It steps on the void, just like stepping on the ground, and runs forward with all its strength.
Joel looked at the rough water below his feet, looking for the giant squid Kraken.
Since the Twilight of the Gods is coming soon, Kraken, who has been sleeping until now, should soon wake up from the bottom of the sea.
The targets of Joel's search are mainly camouflage objects in the North Sea. Considering that Kraken is more than a hundred meters long, it is very likely that it will camouflage itself into some type of undetectable target while sleeping.
Compared with the land in the atrium, the scope of the North Sea is not that wide. After a half-day stop-and-go search, a suspicious figure was finally discovered in the distant sea.
It was a small island and reef, standing alone in the depths of the sea, with several small boats docked around it.
There was no one on the boat, and everything seemed calm and strange.
Joel urged the eight-legged horse to land on the boat. There were fishing nets and some daily necessities on the boat. It was obvious that they were left behind by fishermen who went out to fish.
But where have the boat people gone?
Joel looked at the nearby islands and reefs, which had some moss growing on them. Due to the lack of sunlight, the islands and reefs were cold and damp, and the water droplets dripped out.
"Kraken," Joel confirmed his judgment and shouted loudly, "show up, I don't have much patience."
The islands and reefs began to slowly float upward, and Joel rode Sleipnir to follow them. The fishing boats around the islands and reefs were directly washed away by the huge waves, and were broken into pieces of wooden planks and fell on the sea.
This is an extremely huge giant squid. Just one eye is bigger than Odin played by Joel. It has several tentacles, each one is hundreds of meters long, and it stands firm in the middle of the huge waves.
It looks like a small island.
"Odin," it said in a slow and low voice, full of vigilance and fear, "What are you doing here?"
"Come to kill you," Joel tightened his grip on Gungunir, "to avoid future troubles!"
