Super Magician: The Magic Network Collapsed Again at the Start

Chapter 14 Super Magic

After a moment's thought, Anser chose the spell archer, for range is king.

[Spellcaster]: General Feats. You gain the following buffs:

"Attribute Value Boost": Charm increases by 1, up to a maximum of 20.

"Bypass Cover": Your spells are more precise, ignoring half-body and three-quarter-body cover.

"Close Range Casting": When you are within 5 feet of an enemy, your spell hits will not be at a disadvantage.

"Spell Range Increase": When you cast a spell with a range greater than 10 feet, the casting range increases by at least 60 feet. The actual increase is affected by your primary attribute.

Suddenly, a faint light shot out from the die, and Anser shuddered. His magic surged, and his dragon scales gleamed with a rich metallic sheen. A sudden realization dawned on him.

After a long while, the magic power within him gradually subsided, and he came to his senses, feeling somewhat eager to try.

Having this feat is like having a super long-range aimbot; you can shoot as soon as you peek out, and you can also hit accurately in close combat, which is a huge boost for any spellcaster.

He suppressed his emotions, pulled up his character card, and realized he had just leveled up today and hadn't had a chance to check it yet.

After reaching level 2 warlock, his health reached 20 points, higher than level 2 warrior Blatt and 5 times that of an average person.

The maximum magic power reaches 11 points, far exceeding that of other spellcasters of the same level.

With 772/900 experience points, I'm only 128 points away from leveling up. A level 3 warlock can master 2nd-level spells, which is something to look forward to.

The biggest boost comes from two newly acquired class traits: "Mana Surge" and "Super Magic".

"Mana Surge": The sorcerer draws upon the source of magic within their body, and the transcendent magic that surges forth can create various magical effects.

You have 2 points of Super Magic, the total amount increases with your class level.

Super magic power and regular magic power can be converted into each other, but there will be additional losses when converting them into regular magic power.

"Super Magic": You possess super magic. When casting spells, you can consume super magic power to upgrade the spell's effect.

You can now choose 2 out of 10 super magical traits, and as you explore your innate magic, you will master even more super magic.

These two characteristics complement each other, together forming the warlock's unique ability: super magic!
There are 10 types of super magic: Caution Spells, Ranged Spells, Powerful Spells, Extended Effect Spells, Ascendancy Spells, Instant Spells, Tracking Spells, Subtle Spells, Transmutation Spells, and Twin Spells.

After a quick glance, Anser selected instant-cast spells and twin spells.

Instant-cast spells, as the name suggests, are spells that are cast instantly, each costing 2 points of super mana.

Twin spells do not cast two spells simultaneously, but rather select an additional creature as the target when casting the spell, consuming 1 point of super mana each time.

However, twin spells do not apply to all spells; for example, spells like Magic Missile, which can attack multiple targets simultaneously, and Fireball, which deals area-of-effect damage, are not applicable.

Twin spells can be used for spells like Jump, Spectral Ball, Command, Charm, and most single-target spells.

However, there is currently too little super magic power available, so it can only be used as an emergency measure and cannot be used as a regular method.

Anser was satisfied and entered into meditation, holding his staff.
-
After an unknown amount of time, a muffled, loud bang suddenly rang out in the sky, and the rumbling tremors spread along the earth's veins to various urban areas.

Even the surface of the Chongsa River rippled.

Anser suddenly woke up, sat up, and met Blatt's horrified gaze.

"It collapsed again?" His heart pounded.

Blatt swallowed hard, shook his head vigorously, grabbed his longsword, slung his pack over his shoulder, and ran outside: "Let's go, let's go..."

Anser picked up his backpack, glanced around but didn't see the Ranger, and the food on the table was still there.

"Take the food." He opened his backpack, grabbed some jerky and bread, and stuffed them inside, but the backpack wasn't big, and it was full in no time.

Seeing this, Blatt opened the package, swept his arm across the table, and shoved all the remaining food inside.

As soon as the two stepped outside, they found that the outside was already in chaos, with the sounds of running, crying, and cursing filling the air.

Anser hurried downstairs, casually pulling out his pocket watch. It was noon; they had probably rested for two or three hours.

Upon entering the hall, one finds it in complete disarray. Apart from some injured people and young children who are unable to move, everyone else is running out.

"Hurry up, hurry up, leave here, go to Livington..." several young priests kept shouting.

Just as Anser was about to go over and ask, he bumped into Finn, who was running against the flow of people.

"Hurry up!" Finn had obviously come back specifically to find him, and he tugged at his sleeve to pull him outside.

"What happened?" Anser heard a few words amidst the commotion, but he wasn't sure what they meant.

“The crowded side districts, the spacious streets, and parts of the temple district have all fallen into the Underdark,” Finn explained quickly.

Anser was shocked. The spacious streets and the temple district were both part of the upper city, the core of Baldur's Gate. It was no wonder that the people were in despair when this place collapsed.

However, he keenly sensed that Finn's wording was too precise and pressed further, "Fell into the Underdark? Not collapsed? How do you know so clearly?" "It told me." Finn stepped out of the church and pointed to the ceiling.

The sky had become unusually dark, and a gray eagle was circling over the city.

Anser suddenly realized that this must be Finn's beast companion.

“The city looked like it was pulled down by a giant hand, straight down, not collapsed,” Finn added.

"Man-made disaster?" Anser frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

"There's no need to panic like this, is there?" Blatt asked, looking puzzled.

“The underground creatures are coming up. If we don’t run now, it’ll be too late.” Finn saw Anser stop and reached out to pull him again.

Anser was both amused and exasperated. Finn was acting strangely, but he could sense that the other party meant no harm.

"a lot of?"

"A huge amount!"

Anser pondered for a moment: "Don't panic. It will take them at least several hours to climb up and then go around to get here. We'll help the church transport the wounded and supplies."

He didn't know how much fighting power Flame Fist had left, but if he wanted to rely on the fortress to block the underground creatures, the power of the Church of Ultimate Hope could not be ignored.

“Okay.” Blatt replied without hesitation.

Finn hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The group hurried back to the hall, where they saw old priest Berg directing the clergy to evacuate. He wasn't stubborn; there was no longer any need to hold out.

There was no time for formalities. The group helped the priests pull over carriages and handcarts, loading the wounded and supplies onto them as much as possible, and then evacuated to Flying Dragon Bridge together.

Taking this opportunity, Anser helped Blatt put on half-body armor, which would provide an extra layer of protection in case of a fight.

The church is only three or four hundred meters from the Flying Dragon Bridge, but the roadside was crowded and chaotic, and it took the convoy more than ten minutes to reach the bridge.

Feilong Bridge is six or seven hundred meters long. The bridge surface looks quite wide, but there are dense buildings on both sides, and the width that can be passed through is only a few meters.

The main support for the bridge is the Flying Dragon Rock in the middle of the riverbed, which resembles a small island with a fortress on it, making it a magnificent sight.

As soon as the convoy crossed the bridge, Finn suddenly pointed behind him: "Look!"

Anser turned his head and looked out. Under the dim sky, countless dark shadows were pouring into the Twin Song District through the intersection.

"At least a hundred, how could it be so fast?"

He then realized that these were not newly arrived subterranean creatures, but rather the same group that had come up before, now simply gathered to a certain size.

At that moment, right in front of the group of subterranean creatures, Rand and Zahir were leading twenty or thirty men to do their best to block them, fighting and retreating to buy time for the civilians to escape.
