Above the mage!

Chapter 101 [Blessing]

Gao De was also very curious.

Because his situation is special.

First of all, he possesses a knowledge system that is not available in this world. Secondly, his mastery of magic is extremely "extensive".

According to what Maciej said, if he successfully advances to the first-level mage, he should be able to awaken more outstanding expertise.

However, these thoughts only flashed through Gao De's mind, and he quickly regained his composure and laughed at himself.

I am still a long way from becoming a first-ring mage, but I have already started fantasizing about becoming a first-ring mage.

Aim too high!

"Then for us wild mages who are only practicing Apprentice Guidance and Apprentice Meditation, if we are lucky enough to be promoted to 1st-ring mages, our awakening expertise will be at a great disadvantage." Someone else sighed.

Gao De also nodded in agreement.

This is what is called "one step slow, all steps slow."

"You don't have to worry about that. When you are promoted to a 1st-level wizard, you will awaken your expertise, and what makes the difference is often the wizard's own knowledge and the spells he or she has mastered." Upon hearing this, Maciej smiled.

"Because, the Apprentice Guidance Method and Apprentice Meditation Technique are already one of the best guidance methods and meditation techniques at the apprentice stage."

"If the basic cultivation technique is not almost perfect, how could it be so widely spread?"

"However, the Apprentice Guidance Method and the Apprentice Meditation Method can only be practiced during the apprentice stage. Once you are promoted to a 1st-level mage, you have to choose a new method of practice. This is when the gap in practice will widen."

Maciej's words may sound a bit strange at first, but they are actually easy to understand if you think about it carefully.

Just like in previous lives, educational books for the general education stage were often written by a group of people after rounds of revisions and screening.

However, knowledge at the truly advanced level is a mixed bag, with no unified standard textbooks.

Therefore, you must enter the Seres School of Magic as soon as possible.
Otherwise, for a wild mage, not to mention whether he can be promoted to a first-level mage, the choice of practice technique after successfully upgrading is also a big problem, because there is no choice at all.

Gao De said secretly in his heart.

"Can expertise be revealed?" the mage apprentice beside Gaode asked curiously.

Maciej shook his head. "Of course not. Especially for a battle mage, expertise is something more secret than spells."

"After all, once a spell is cast, it is bound to be exposed. But unless the mage himself reveals his expertise, who can accurately tell the specific effect?"

"Be careful and prepare for battle!" At this moment, Maciej, who was chatting and laughing with everyone just a moment ago, suddenly became serious.

Gao De immediately realized that danger was approaching and looked around vigilantly.

Phew! Phew!
As soon as Maciej finished speaking, a series of sharp and piercing cries were heard.

From a towering tree in the dense forest nearby, a group of earth demon bats suddenly flapped their wings and flew out, pouncing towards their team.

There are twelve of them.

But the reason why Maciej's face was so serious was not because of the quantity.

But it was because of the leader of this group of earth demon bats: a huge earth demon bat.

This earth demon bat even has two legs-like creatures.

From a distance, it looks like a winged, hairless dwarf, and its body looks as hard as rock.

There is no doubt that this is a genuine 1st-level earth vein creature!
This was the first 1st-level earth vein creature their team had encountered in recent days.

"Leave the first ring to me, the rest are up to you!" Maciej instantly entered combat mode. As the leader of the team, he immediately gave orders in unquestionable words.

Before he finished speaking, he had already mobilized his magic power. As his hand gestures changed, strong magical fluctuations gathered in his palms and transformed into a soft and warm light.

The light is golden in color and exudes a feeling of holiness and blessing.

"Blessing!" Maciej chanted in a deep voice, and the golden light instantly split into three rays, landing accurately on himself, Gode, and a wizard apprentice who mastered the lightning trick.

The moment Gode was hit by the light, a sacred cross symbol appeared on his body.

However, this symbol only existed for a short time and disappeared in a flash.

Then, a soft and solemn chanting sound echoed in Gode's ears, but like the cross symbol, it was fleeting.

An unprecedented strength and courage surged from his body.

"I have cast a first-level spell, Blessing, on both of you. In the next minute, your spell attacks and spell defenses will be more powerful. Hurry!" Maciej reminded the two while casting the next spell.

After these five days, he also realized that in terms of combat, the ones with the highest proficiency in the entire team were Gao De and the wizard apprentice who mastered the lightning trick.

Therefore, he was very particular about choosing the target of his [Blessing Technique], which was a recognition of the two of them.

The next moment, light flashed in Maciej's palm again. Three flashing darts condensed and were thrown out by him, like three missiles that streaked across the sky and bombarded the giant earth demon bat in the lead.

【Magic Missile】

The huge earth demon bat also obviously felt the threat of the magic missile after the blessing of [Blessing].

It let out a deafening roar, hovered in the air, thrust its mouth forward, and spewed out cones of gravel.

The overwhelming gravel directly covered the three magic missiles.

After a violent explosion, all the gravel turned into powder and scattered, but the three magic missiles also ran out of power and dispersed.

Gao De here also quickly adjusted his breathing and entered combat state.

His fingers jumped lightly, and fiery energy was rising.

【Flame Arrow+】!
With a low shout from him, a beam of burning flame suddenly shot out.

The flaming arrows were like arrows shot from a bow, cutting through the air and rushing towards the group of earth demon bats with blazing flames.

Wherever the spell passed, the air seemed to be ignited, leaving behind a long tail of fire, and its power became visibly stronger with the naked eye.

The 0-level Earth Demon Bat that was targeted by Gode reacted in the same way as the 1-level Earth Demon Bat that was leading the group.

It spit forward, spitting out cones of gravel to block the path of the flaming arrow.

Trying to use it to resist and offset the power of the flaming arrows.

But there are some things that the boss can do but it can't.

Although the power of the flaming arrow cast after being blessed by [Blessing] did not reach the level of a first-level spell, it was still higher than the level of a trick.

If I have to describe it precisely, it is a 0.5 level spell!
The fierce flames directly blasted away the cone-shaped gravel, and then continued forward, accurately hitting the earth demon bat that was hovering in place.

boom!
In an instant, a roar was heard, and the earth demon bat let out a shrill scream. Its entire body was engulfed in flames. It tumbled and fell from mid-air, landing heavily on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

When Gao De saw this, there was a flash of shock in his eyes, as well as an unprecedented sense of relief.

Is this what it feels like when a “big boss” leads the monster hunting?
With the help of the 1st level spell [Blessing], the power of his [Fire Arrow+] increased dramatically, and he could actually kill a 0th level earth creature in one strike.

However, although it was fun, Gao Deke did not let his guard down.

He knew that the battle was far from over.

While other mage apprentices in the team were casting spells to attack, Gao De's mind moved, and a layer of gray light flashed across his skin.

【Blade Protection+】.

After using this brief period of time to cast defensive spells on himself, Gaode, who was more confident, attacked again.

He aimed at another earth demon bat again.

At this moment, it was hovering in the air flexibly and cunningly, constantly dodging the apprentices' spell attacks.

Gaode took action boldly!

It is still [Flame Arrow+].

But this time, the Earth Demon Bat that he was targeting was not like the previous Earth Demon Bat.

Faced with the flaming arrow that was shooting at it, it did not confront it head-on without considering its own capabilities. Instead, it circled in the air and cleverly dodged the flaming arrow.

As a small flying earth creature, the Earth Demon Bat's specialty is agility.

However, simple straight-line attacks can be easily avoided by these extremely agile flying creatures at a long enough distance.

Seeing that it had avoided Gaode's magic attack, the earth demon bat let out a sharp cry, as if it was proud, but also seemed to be provocative.

boom!
The strong roar turned its sharp cry into a shrill wail.

The flaming arrow that should have missed the target unexpectedly turned around like a ghost.

Real men never look back to see the explosion.

The same is true for the Earth Demon Bat.

So it really blew up.

Have you ever seen a flaming arrow that can turn?

Looking at another earth demon bat falling from the sky with its body burning in flames, Gao De mocked in his heart.
