Don't call me evil god

Chapter 16 Spell slots? What are those?

"Arcane Missiles!"

"Ugh!"

[Mission: Defeat the thugs 2/5]

Another gangster was hit hard by the missile and fainted with a scream.

The two thugs who "survived" were instantly ecstatic.

"The boss said it! He's run out of spell slots!"

"He's finished! The reward is coming!"

The boss who was barely standing with a stick in the distance also showed a smug expression: "Where did this rookie come from? Even if he is a mage, so what? He dares to act alone. This will let you know how dangerous the lower city is!"

The strong man can be the leader of the five people, so he must be much more knowledgeable than the other thugs.

He had personally seen the few mages in the gang before, and the spells they cast were indeed extremely powerful.

Whether it is an ice arrow, a fireball or a missile, as long as it hits the target, it can basically make the opponent lose combat effectiveness instantly.

But the mages' physique is too fragile, so every time a mage is needed to take action, they will always bring enough subordinates who can provide protection with them to prevent being suddenly attacked.

Moreover, due to the limitation of spell slots, the number of spellcasting times available each day is limited, and most of the low-level mages that the downtown gangs can recruit will be used as a means of deterrence or decapitation.

As long as it appears in the battle, the enemy leader will be on high alert because he may be hit by a spell and "beheaded" at any time.

Correspondingly, once a mage is alone with no one to protect him, and all the spell slots available for the day have been used up, he will be in a very dangerous situation.

When the leading strong man confirmed Pete's identity as a spellcaster, he decisively decided to use the "human wave tactic" to overwhelm him.

If Pete was a traditional wizard who believed in the goddess of magic, and there were five gangsters on his side, rushing in all at once would indeed be the most appropriate approach.

Sacrifice a few unlucky guys, use up all his spell slots, and then he will be at the mercy of others!
Unfortunately, a few hours ago, Pete was no longer the most loyal believer of the Goddess of Magic.

"I, Petchinal, have always been the most devout believer of the God of Knowledge, Noven!"

"Who is the Magic Goddess? I don't know her at all!"

"What era is this? You're still a traditional wizard!"

After launching [Arcane Missiles] three times, Pete still looked energetic, and his hands kept moving. In the blink of an eye, the fourth [Arcane Missiles] took shape!
"Arcane Missiles!"

Then, Pete chanted the spell again!
"Arcane Missiles!"

"Boom! Boom!"

[Mission: Defeat the thugs 4/5]

The four men fell to the ground in an orderly manner and fell into a not-so-peaceful sleep.

The strong man who was leading the group was dumbfounded at this moment.

When he saw the fourth purple missile being fired, he realized that something was wrong. By the time the fifth [Arcane Missile] was formed, his mouth was open so wide that a duck egg could be stuffed in.

"You you you! Me me me! No! What's going on!!"

The strong man’s first reaction was: He was wrong!
A first-level wizard has only three opportunities to cast a first-level spell every day;

If you can be promoted to the second level, you will have one more spell slot that can be used to cast a second-level spell.

But even if you use the 2nd-tier spell slot to release the 1st-tier [Arcane Missiles], there are only four chances at most!

During the spell casting, Pete did not use any magic scrolls or magic props that he had stored in advance. He chanted the spell himself to cast the spell! 5 times!
This means that the opponent is at least a third-level spellcaster!
The strong man’s second reaction was: He is finished!
A third-level spellcaster could have a fairly decent life even in the Upper Town of Green Harbor, and was completely on a different level from these "lower town people".

The strong man felt sweaty.

"Sir, no, sir, well, please listen to my explanation. Do you believe me when I said I was joking with you before..."

Seeing Pete walking towards him leisurely, holding the sixth completed [Arcane Missile] in his hand, three purple missiles were circling and dancing regularly in a small area, leaving beautiful purple trails.

Pete felt he had never felt so good!
In the baron's manor in his hometown, although the maids and guards were afraid of him, it was because he was the baron's son, and his noble status made the servants and civilians dare not offend him.

When we arrived at Green Port, the noble laws of the Kingdom of Reyak had no control over this place. This place had people from all races in the entire continent, and we could even see ogre bodyguards, dark elf technicians and the like walking around the streets in a swaggering manner.

With little combat ability, for the sake of his own safety, Pete had planned to stay in Carron for three years, obtain the third-level spellcaster certification, and then go back to continue his life as a noble heir. Therefore, he had never experienced a real fight with real guns.

This time, he relied on his own strength and defeated five thugs head-on without any protection from others!
"So the battle experience of a mage is so good! Awesome!"

The feeling that he only needs to stand still and chant spells comfortably, and then "name" the enemies one by one and knock them down one by one, is a new and novel experience for Pete that he has never had before!

Pete is not the high-level spellcaster as the strong man guessed. His real strength is still at the level of a second-level wizard, and he still possesses 3 first-level spell slots and 1 second-level spell slot.

As for the reason for breaking through the spell slot limit and releasing the tier 1 spell [Arcane Missiles] multiple times?

The answer is simple.

"Thank you! Great God of Knowledge!"

When Pete completed the spell of [Hada's Hunger], he discovered the huge difference between the magic release method given by Nowen and that of the wizards who believed in the Goddess of Magic. Now he was just confirming it again.

A traditional wizard's magic needs to be recorded in a spell book in advance, and there is a limit on the number of spell slots per day. Once the number of spells is used up, the wizard will no longer be able to cast spells.

The same magic, when cast using Norman's method, does not involve any so-called spell slot restrictions!
Pete could feel that the magic consumed his mental energy when it was released. Every time he used [Arcane Missiles], he would become a little more tired, and would feel sleepy and in need of rest.

But compared to the limited spell slots of traditional mages, casting spells at the cost of mental power is undoubtedly much more abundant!

[Arcane Missiles] is just a basic tier 1 spell, and it doesn't consume much mental power.

According to Pete's estimation, in his current state, he could at least release 10 [Arcane Missiles] in a row and still remain conscious, instead of being drained of his mental strength and falling into a coma like he did when he released [Hada's Hunger]?

If he casts spells enough times and is far enough away from the enemy, no matter how many enemies come, he will knock them down one by one!
The sturdy man tried to force a flattering smile on his face, but it turned out to be uglier than crying.

"Sir, can you please just treat me like a fart? I promise I will never appear before you again..."

Pete was about to speak.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

A damp, mossy brick hit the back of the strong man's head heavily. The strong man fainted on the spot without even a groan.

[Mission: Defeat the thugs 5/5]

【The mission has been completed! 】

Pete was stunned when he saw the girl Rena, who had quietly circled behind the burly man at some point, had just completed a fierce "backstab" and was still holding the brick in her hand.

"what?"
