Mage Veigar

Chapter 32 Mental Power

Magic is the soul of a professional.

However, just having enough magic power is not enough. If a professional wants to crush those of the same level or even fight against those of higher levels, he needs a good magic weapon and several powerful combat skills.

The price of combat skills is relatively expensive, probably several times that of magic weapons.

Ordinary professionals can only afford to buy a magic weapon, but are unable to even dream of acquiring combat skills.

Oak Nelson was not one of them.

His family has a complete heritage, with dozens of fighting skills passed down in the family, and most of them are offensive fighting skills that can enhance overall attack power.

'Swift Wind Acceleration' is one of the family's martial arts skills.

This is also the only enhancement-type combat skill in his race. It can increase the movement speed by 5 times in a short period of time. If it is combined with other offensive combat skills, ordinary people will be killed instantly.

Originally, Oak Nelson was not going to use it.

Because he knew that the magic power of a level 3 professional could only last for an hour at most under such a high-intensity confrontation. There was naturally no need to reveal a combat skill to solve something that could be solved in an hour.

In the field of professionals, combat skills are the most precious.

Each combat skill is a professional's trump card. The more it is exposed, the easier it is to be targeted. Therefore, ordinary professionals will not reveal their trump cards in battle unless they have no choice.

It's impossible not to expose it now.

Oak Nelson was not sure when Vega's magic power would run out. If he ran out of magic power again and suddenly got some healing power, then the battle might not be over in one night.

So let’s make a quick decision.

In order not to hurt Vega, Oak Nelson chose the only buff-type combat skill, and appeared in front of Vega before he could react, and slashed down with the sword from mid-air.

boom.

Iron intersects.

Vega had no choice but to use his short sword to block, but under the huge force, the short sword was directly knocked away by the long sword, and he no longer had any weapon in his hand.

The cross swords were put away at the same time.

Oak Nelson switched from sword to fist and punched Vega on the head with 3% of his strength.

If this attack lands, Oak Nelson won't have to worry about suffering any serious damage given his control over magic power, but being knocked unconscious and thrown out is a sure thing.

Good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

It is entirely conceivable that if he gets himself into a mess here, then the headline news in Kalini tomorrow might be: A certain imperial officer is looking for trouble, and Oak Nelson from the grave-keeping family is still strong. He draws his sword in anger and throws it back in three moves.

We must guard against this move.

Vega's eyes were determined, and he focused all his attention on Oak Nelson's quick punch. He tried to capture the trajectory of the punch.

caught.

But it was too fast.

Vega sadly discovered that even if he could capture Oak Nelson, whose combat skills had given him a speed buff, he would not have had time to come up with a countermeasure. It turned out that the huge gap in level and combat skills could not be made up by magic.

Even so...

He really wanted to block this attack.

It was at this critical moment that, because Vega's mind was too focused, the mysterious unknown power in his brain suddenly broke out of his body along with the magic power in his body, and suddenly formed a translucent shield composed of magic power one meter in front of him.

boom.

This small shield just happened to block Oak Nelson's knockout punch.

The translucent shield cracked, but did not break. After one second, the translucent shield absorbed a trace of magic power in Vega's body and quickly restored itself. This trace of magic power was not even a drop in the bucket.

"This is……"

"Mage's Shield?!"

Oak Nelson, who was over fifty years old, turned pale the moment he saw the translucent shield.

As long as you are a professional, you will know what the translucent shield represents. It is the proof of the magician's power and identity, and it is also the magician's innate means of defense.

Well known.

Professionals have magical defense.

In addition to the magic defense of professionals, magicians also have an additional layer of magician shield defense. In battle, this layer of defense can appear with just a thought, which also directly leads to the inability of professionals to attack the magician at close range.

No matter how fast your fighting skills are, they can't be faster than another person's thought.

And this is only the mage's first line of defense. God knows how many defensive spells he has added behind this layer of defense. How can a professional who is not five levels higher than the mage break his turtle shell? And once the mage masters the art of flying, he doesn't need to fight even if he is countless levels higher.

Compared to the combat skills of professionals that are clear at a glance, the magic of magicians is much more bizarre.

Some can bring themselves back to life, some can summon prehistoric monsters, some can revive armies, some can freeze the earth... There are so many, so many things. If professionals are the empire's precious strategic weapons, then magicians are the real nuclear weapons.

Although both professionals and magicians use magic power to attack and there doesn't seem to be much difference, magicians have something more than professionals called mental power.

It is this thing called mental power that greatly increases the strength of magic power, and at the same time allows the magic power to break out of the body and attack the enemy from a distance, which is something that professionals can never do.

all in all.

The magic power of a professional cannot break out of the body and can only be infused into weapons for close-range attacks. However, a mage can use his mental power to make the magic power break out of the body and achieve the effect of a long-distance attack.

Every mage is a powerful professional, but not every professional is a mage.

Strictly speaking, every professional has the basic conditions to be promoted to a mage, but 99% of professionals are stuck at the stage of being unable to awaken their mental power.

In the eyes of ordinary people, professionals are synonymous with power.

In the eyes of professionals, a mage who has awakened his spiritual power is a truly powerful being.

Now 90% of mages serve in the army. Mages hold a pivotal position in the army. Generally, only regiment-level troops are equipped with a mage, and this mage is also the one with the highest status besides the regiment commander and the regiment chief of staff.

Veigar can cast Mage Shield.

In other words, he is a magician.

Although Oak Nelson didn't know what rank this wizard was, as long as he was a magician, he would undoubtedly be the guest of honor of all forces, no matter when the nobles were in power or now when the army was dominant. They were synonymous with strength and dignity.

in the last century.

Magicians enjoy the same status as nobles.

Therefore, when he knew that Vega was a magician, Oak Nelson no longer considered fighting, but stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation. The magician's relatives were naturally qualified to be buried in the Western Suburbs Cemetery.

This is the second ancestral precept established since the founding of the Nelson family.
