Mage Veigar

Chapter 148 Mirror
Shadow technique: Mirror image.

This is one of the second-level advanced magics of the Shadow Technique.

As for the power of the magic of mirror image, as the literal meaning describes, once it is cast, it can create a copy that is exactly the same as the caster.

The duration of this replica is about 6 hours.

Of course, this replica does not have any attack power, but the caster can control the replica within the range of vision and obtain the replica's five senses, and the replica will immediately shatter once attacked.

In short, this is an illusion magic.

Compared to offensive magic, it is indeed not very useful, but in actual combat it can hide one's true hiding place very well, using mirror images to lure the enemy's attack, while one either waits for an opportunity to act or retreats secretly.

Once you learn this magic.

The Shadow Mage's life safety will be greatly improved, making it easier for him to attack or retreat.

Veigar currently has two spells under his control.

One is the shadow technique, which allows one to manipulate shadows to fight.

The other is the trickery type, which can enter a stealth state and cannot be detected by non-high-level magicians and word magicians.

If he had the advanced 2nd level magic of Shadow Style 'Shadow Style·Mirror Image', then combined with Trickery Style and Shadow Style, it would be difficult for ordinary magicians to kill him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can attack or defend.

The most important thing.

Mirror image is not stealth, it is a true copy of the body of the caster. If they stand in the same place, even a Word Spirit Mage cannot tell which is the copy and which is the original.

Veigar chose this mirror image without hesitation.

On the one hand, of course, it was out of consideration for his own life safety. On the other hand, this was the only advanced magic included here, and Vega had no right to choose at all.

Carrying the rune page and magic cloak, Vega said goodbye to Dani and walked out of the room.

He came to the temporary single room assigned to him and put on the magic cloak. The special effect of this magic cloak was to increase the concealment ability by 30%. Combined with the trickery-like deployment, even the lower-level wizards could not detect his trace now.

Of course, the Word Spirit Mage is not among them.

A Word Spirit Mage who possesses the abilities of perception, detection, and prediction can easily detect his whereabouts after he sneaks away, even if he is one level lower than him.

So in some ways God is fair.

While the Word Spirit Mages were deprived of their ability to attack, God gifted them with extraordinary auxiliary abilities.

Empty your mind.

Vega sat cross-legged and took out the rune page of Shadow Style: Mirror Image.

Since the trick can't hide from the eyes of the Word Spirit Mage, then let's learn the mirror image. As long as you learn the mirror image, even if you don't perform the trick, there is a 50% chance that the Word Spirit Mage will make a wrong judgment.

This 50% chance is enough.

Even if he had three more seconds, Vega would be able to overcome the Elemental Mage's magic output and engage in close combat with him.

Close your eyes.

The '+1' sign has appeared above the rune page.

This was the only skill point Veigar had, and he was eager to gain more skill points.

Because in addition to learning magic, he also needs to learn professional combat skills. After all, as a shadow mage who fights in close combat, learning one or two combat skills will definitely be beneficial and can even turn the tide at a critical moment.

Although there is no evidence that skill points can be used to learn combat skills.

However, Veigar guessed that the result was the same. Since magic could be learned using skill points, there was no reason why combat skills that were much simpler than magic could not be learned using skill points.

A thought came to mind.

The study of Shadow Style Mirror Image officially began. When the first rune disappeared from the rune page, Veigar could already use Mirror Image, but it was just a simple use. He couldn't even control the mirror image, just like a scarecrow.

The second rune disappeared, and Veigar felt that he could control the mirror image to make some simple movements and even say a few simple words, but the movements and sounds were still very stiff.

……

When the last rune disappears.

Vega opened his eyes, because he had already practiced the Shadow Technique: Mirror Image to the highest level.

Simply put, Vega can already control the mirror image as if he were controlling his own body.

He can use the mirror image to make sounds, and even let the mirror image pick up weapons and perform some simple combat moves. Although there is no magic power and mental power in the mirror image, it still possesses the combat power of an ordinary person.

After completing his training, Vega decided to test the practicality of this new magic.

"Trickery style."

The spell medium on his chest turned red, and Vega first used the Trickery Style to put his main body into stealth mode.

"Shadow Technique: Mirror Image."

While in stealth mode, Vega used Shadow Mirror again, and then saw a copy of himself appear in the room, while his original body was still in stealth mode.

This is simply...

Vega could already imagine that in actual combat, the enemy would mistake his mirror image for his real self and then resolutely launch an attack, while he himself would use trickery to sneak up to the enemy and kill the enemy with one strike when the enemy thought the outcome was decided.

If combined with his shadow technique.

Veigar once again realized the power of the Shadow Mages. As long as there were no Word Mages, this group could do almost anything they wanted in the war.

knock knock knock.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

A hint of doubt flashed across Vega's eyes while he was in stealth mode. Who on earth would come to visit at this time?
Dani Burton and her daughter, or Captain Wolfe?

Vega was about to remove the mirror image and the trick to open the door, but his eyes moved. Now was the time to experiment with the mirror image, so he did not remove the trick, but controlled the mirror image to open the door.

creak-

The door opened and a strange face came into view.

He looked to be around 25 years old, wearing a pitch-black cloak, without any spellcasting medium in his hands, but with two daggers on his waist... No, in addition to the two daggers on his waist, the stealthy Vega discovered that there were two more daggers hidden in the man's military boots.

"You are……"

Mirror Vega asked, but the visitor did not seem to notice anything unusual about Vega.

He stared at Vega's replica and did not answer Vega's question.

"Excuse me……"

Vega manipulated the mirror image to speak again, but was interrupted by the young man's hoarse voice: "Lieutenant Vega Kalini?"

"Yes."

Vega gave a positive answer: "Excuse me, who are you...?"

The words have not yet fallen.

The young man with a husky voice and wearing a cape and tights suddenly attacked Vega's mirror image.
