Super Magician: The Magic Network Collapsed Again at the Start

Chapter 132 The Horrifying Face

Only at level 3 paladins do they truly begin to master divine power, resulting in a significant improvement.

In particular, the Oath of the Giant Spirit Nobles demonstrated the power of elemental forces for the first time.

The Oath of the Giants, also known as the Oath of the Elements, is essentially about establishing a connection with the elemental planes through the power of an oath, and controlling elemental power like a giant.

"Elemental Slash" greatly enhances the Paladin's agility, allowing them to imprison or force back enemies, as well as increase damage or retreat.

Combined with its elemental affinity and elemental control properties, it possesses immense power.

"Giant Spirit Spell" may seem insignificant, but it is extremely useful.

A level 3 paladin can only prepare four spells, but this adds three more. For a regular paladin, this only increases their flexibility, since they can only cast a maximum of three spells.

But Anser is different. He has a lot of magic power. He can throw out first-level spells at will, and the significance of a few more spells is completely different.

"Radiance of the Giant" is the ability that Anser values ​​most. Once mastered, a layer of elemental radiance will remain on the body. The higher the charm, the higher the armor level.

Because of its different mechanism of action, it does not conflict with the scales that protect the dragon's physique.

Without armor or a shield, his armor level was 21; with the Dragonhide Engraved Amulet, it was 22.

What does that mean? It's on par with an ancient dragon!
Of course, there are still differences between the two. Ancient dragons also have a bunch of spells and traits, which make them much stronger than bare armor after being enhanced.

Faced with this level of protection, let alone ordinary people, even a level 10 elite warrior without magical weapons and with slightly weaker strength might not be able to break through the defense even after a few strikes.

'And get a magic shield, hehe...'

In addition, "Secret Resonance" comes with a power-building spell, but unfortunately it only has one level.

After a moment's thought, he chose "earthquake".

This spell causes the ground to tremble, causing creatures with poor balance to fall and take 1d6 (1-6) blunt damage. If the ground is not strong enough, it can also create difficult terrain such as ravines and bumps that make it hard to pass.

Earthquake is a highly functional disease; it's good to have it on hand, there's always a chance it will come in handy.

As he confirmed his intention, a vast and mighty force of elements descended from nowhere, pouring into his body like dazzling clouds or a raging storm, surrounding him and surging endlessly.

Time slipped away quietly, and a quarter of an hour passed quickly.

The dazzling halo that filled the entire room contracted in circles, merging into Anser's skin and transforming into a faint iridescent glow that adhered to the surface of the soft scales.

Anser opened his eyes, raised his palm and held it in front of his eyes to examine it closely.

Charm is the manifestation of the power of the soul, which transforms into a clear spiritual light that intertwines with dragon scales, surrounded by the radiance of elements, together forging an unbreakable and extraordinary barrier.

'Too eye-catching.'

As soon as the thought arose, these rays of light gradually disappeared into the dragon scales, leaving only a layer of barely perceptible transparent spiritual light, but the protective effect remained unchanged.

He pulled up his character card; his magic power increased slightly to 61, his Holy Healing energy pool reached 15, and there were no other significant changes.

Since it was still early, he immediately meditated and spent a little time preparing an extra spell: "Divine Grace," which could add 1d4 points of Radiant damage to the weapon.

Prepare things, whether useful or not.

'Time to get down to business.'

Before leaving, he borrowed a shield from the crew and then teleported away.

The night was deep and all was quiet, with a gray eagle circling overhead.

Anser scanned the area and spotted Salian, Finn, and Colin in the trees not far away.

All three carried bows and arrows, each occupying a tree and climbing very high; it seemed that those skilled in archery were all adept at climbing trees. He turned to look at Durag; lights flickered on the city walls, and many guards stood in the firelight. Outside the city, another group of guards ran towards them, carrying torches.

'They were pretty quick.'

The Ammun appear to be pursuing the Black Dragon, but if Durag is completely unprepared, they might dare to launch a night attack, so we must be on guard.

He walked to the tree where Finn was and patted the trunk: "Did you find the black dragon?"

"Found it!" Finn's dull voice came. "About six miles to the northwest, it's crawling deeper into the northern forest, and it's still vomiting. The traces... are very obvious."

"Vomiting? Poisoning?" Anser was taken aback, looking confused.

Black dragons inhabit desolate ruins, polluted swamps, and other places corrupted by decay. They have a varied diet, strong resistance to toxins, and an astonishing digestive capacity; ordinary toxins are no different from water to them.

'The Ammun... they've got some tricks up their sleeves.'

He was even a little worried that the black dragon would be poisoned to death.

Upon hearing Anser's voice, Salian climbed down from the tree, returned the binoculars to him, and said with some excitement, "The Amm army is numerous but slow. Can we strike first?"

"Let me check on the Black Dragon's situation first. Let's move to a new location and choose the shortest route." He waved his hand, activated the King Butterfly Cloak, and flew low to the north along the edge of the forest.

At the same time, he imbued the Scepter of Protection with a glowing spell so that the Giant Tail and the others could see it.

The Amm army was close to the southern edge of the forest; they were on the eastern side of the forest, and due to the angle and distance, the Amm could not see them.

Salian and his men followed closely behind, while the guards in the distance also changed direction.

At the same time, the thunderous sound of hooves approached, and squads of black-horse riders bypassed the guards and quickly drew near.

The Knights of Jacqueline have arrived.

With a sudden gust of wind, a magic carpet sped up like lightning, instantly catching up with Anser. A figure sat on it, with long flowing hair and a purple cloak billowing high.

"Come on up." Elise flew to Anser's side, tugged at his butterfly wing, and pulled him onto the flying carpet. "Where's the black dragon?"

Anser stumbled a step, then sat down and grabbed the buckle. When he looked up, he met a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, overflowing with excitement.

“Directly below the Gray Hawk,” he pointed to the night sky.

The flying carpet paused, then rapidly ascended.

Anser quickly put away the scepter of protection to avoid being noticed by the Ammun or the black dragon.

The flying carpet shot into the sky at an altitude of a thousand meters, while adjusting its direction and heading straight for the gray eagle.

Anser set up his telescope and quickly spotted the constantly swaying trees. The black dragon was enormous and inevitably bumped into or destroyed the trees as it crawled.

As the camera zooms in, the black dragon's body appears and disappears in the frame.

It has a terrifying appearance, with a pair of curved horns and a withered face, its image resembling the skull of a demon.

It was truly... hideous and ugly!
The flying carpet hovered in the night sky. Elise grabbed Anser's hand and brought the telescope close to her eyes: "Let me see."

Anser didn't pay attention and pondered, "It is said that the black dragon is a typical miser, but it is cunning and suspicious by nature, and dislikes fighting to the death. It usually uses the advantages of the environment and its nest to protect itself. It may be stalling for time."

“Possibly.” Elise’s voice was muffled by the night wind and could not be heard clearly.

After a long silence, she put down the binoculars and let out a heavy sigh: "It looks terrifying. Its external injuries are minor; it may have been poisoned or cursed."

“The Black Dragon is cunning; we cannot act rashly.” Anser gazed at the distant wilderness, his eyes deep and unfathomable. “It would be better to wait for the Ammun to make their move first, and then we can reap the benefits.”
