I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 601 Domain Judgment
Rhodes once asked Callister about the difference between a ninth-level mage and mages below the ninth level.

As usual, the elf lady ridiculed him twice for being uneducated.

Then, during the next spell class, he specifically called Rhodes over and explained the matter in detail.

The difference between the ninth level and those below it.

When it comes to the mage profession, the most striking feature is definitely the Ring of Truth that appears around them when they cast spells.

This is a natural phenomenon that occurs when magic power reaches a certain level and forms a natural connection with the spirituality on the continent.

The mage also found two ninth-level exclusive behaviors from the Ring of Truth.

[Spell Metamagic] and [Truth Immunity].

The former is very simple, which is to forcibly upgrade a spell of level seven or below by two levels.

Mages below level nine can actually enhance the effects of their spells by increasing magic input.

But these are all quite limited practices.

Even if a sixth-level [Acid Mist] increases the magic input to affect the spell's effect, no matter how much it is enhanced, it will not make the Acid Mist become as overwhelming as a legendary spell.

[Spell Super Magic] is different.

The sixth-level [Acid Mist] directly surpasses the magic to the eighth level. The magic structure and frequency are catalyzed by the Ring of Truth on the natural spirituality on the continent, and the direct effect is maximized. It is not an exaggeration to directly cover a town.

The effect of [Truth Immunity] is more superficial.

Can force a failed saving throw to be turned into a success, regardless of whether one of his values ​​meets the requirements.

simply put.

That is, the Ring of Truth can mobilize the original spiritual energy of heaven and earth to assist in spellcasting, and can also call on the spiritual energy to replace the caster himself to exempt skills.

of course.

Such a heaven-defying skill naturally has limitations on its use.

Generally speaking, effects above the ninth-level initial stage mage can only be used three times and once a day respectively.

But naturally, this somewhat precious skill cannot be used too early.
Field capabilities.

It is also an important means for ninth-level magicians.

The grayish-white light radiated downward in mid-air, exploding like a firework ball. The white fireworks turned into a refining light and shot towards Rhodes' figure below.

They came extremely fast and in huge numbers, like a torrential downpour.

"Accumulate honor points?"

[Glory Ladder: Home gladiators will gain 'honor points' after hitting away gladiators]

One of the effects of the Colosseum treasure.

When the honor value reaches a certain level, it can even ignore defense, which can be regarded as a countermeasure to Rhodes' [Dragon Scale Technique].

He certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to answer it.

The super high agility of [Agility Blessing], [Evasion], and [Prey Desire], plus the ridiculous thrust of [Repulse +38], allowed him to escape quickly.
I couldn't move.

Rhodes looked surprised, and felt that all the bones in his body were generating a reaction force against his muscles.

Even the spines in his neck were twisting his head backward.

It just froze him in place.

"field?"

Let’s activate [Dragon Scale Technique] first.

Ding-ding-ding-ding——

As the light fell to the ground, Rhodes could see clearly that they were gray-white bone spurs with blood grooves.

The bone spurs are very brittle, powerful, and dense, so they are naturally useless against the +18 Dragon Scale Technique.

If it hits your body, it will turn into powder.

【Honor value: 37】

"How does it feel to have your bones controlled?"

Vincent remained motionless, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Okay."

Rhodes was not in a hurry. He swept his [Insightful Eyes] over and used the grass field in his body to fight against it.

['Insightful Mystic Eye' observes the domain confrontation! ]

[Green Grass Field: Mutual Healing of Green Vines (Rods): 41]

[Bone Spur Field: Bone Spur Burst (Vincent): 57]

【Result: Failure! 】

"Yo ho."

Although it failed, it did allow Rhode to regain some mobility. [Repulse +38] erupted, blasting the white mist and pushing Rhode out of the range of the bone spur rain.

Staggered.

Red magma streamlines like hellish fire flowed wildly through his muscles.

Forcing muscles to wrap around bones for movement.

The long sword was wrapped in black gold, and a [Giant Slash +26] was swung out stiffly. The white spiritual sword hit Vincent's [Sapphire Screen] which was motionless, and the sword shattered in an instant.

Rhodes raised his eyebrows and immediately realized that this defensive spell consumed one of Vincent's [Spell Super Magic].

The problem is coming.

Why didn't he just use the ninth level spell?

It's very simple. Ninth-level spells are notoriously difficult to learn and slow to cast. Generally, a ninth-level wizard is considered good if he can master one or two.

Speaking of convenience, it is better to use it if you are proficient in it.

"You can still move?"

Vincent was stunned as he watched the chopping wave dissipate in mid-air.

Domain ability is an overwhelming force for low-level people, and ordinary spiritual techniques and spells are simply impossible to resist.

unless
The opponent also has a domain, which offsets some of his control.

"You also have a domain. As expected of someone who can defeat Asmodeus, hehe."

"Is this something special?"

Rhodes looked casual as the ice blade field beneath his feet quickly spread outward, and two wailing ice trees had already grown out.

[Howling Ice Tree: A Howling Ice Tree grows within the Ice Blade Domain every five minutes. Each tree increases the Ice Blade's strength by 5%. It consumes 50% of the caster's spiritual energy to force growth.]

The forced control of his bones made his movements slow.

He simply stood still while the spiritual power in his body suddenly activated [Judian's Ice Blade Domain].

Under the effect of [Ability Sublimation], the spiritual skill bar suddenly jumped up and stayed at +10!
The bone spurs like a rainstorm in the sky collided violently with the ice blades that were constantly being stimulated and the ice blade domain was slowly expanding.

Crackling.

Ice chips exploded and scattered, and the scattered ice mist slowly obscured the vision of everyone in the audience.

Sean, holding the Soul-Shaking Blade tightly at his waist, looked at the scene in horror.

"So Rhodes can actually fight a ninth-level mage on equal terms?"

Grand Commander Carter shook his head. "Not only Rhode, but even I can withstand these bone spurs. Vincent the Impaler, one of the butchers of the Goblin Massacre fifty years ago, doesn't have only these methods."

The voice just fell.

Carter was slightly stunned. He noticed that the "traitor" behind him who was disguised as an ordinary soldier was actually experiencing unbearable spiritual fluctuations.

tooth fairy
Oh wow! This new member of Shadowhunter is also one of the goblins!
Carter slapped his head.

All because Rosalia's body shape was really not related to that of a fairy, so he ignored her.

Then it goes without saying why this beautiful lady joined Shadow Hunter.

He couldn't help but sigh.

I silently prayed that no matter whether it was the current party disputes or the aftermath of the tragedy fifty years ago, I should not be involved.
Bang!
Another wave of ice blades and bone spurs collided and shattered.

The number of howling ice trees has exceeded 10.

"You chose mana recovery. It's just a small fight. You're not trying to play a war of attrition with me, are you?"

In the white cold fog.

The tall and handsome figure patted the ice tree beside him.

Then he took a deep breath, and the visible forest spirit was inhaled into his nostrils along with the soil.

Rhodes' spiritual power was instantly restored to more than half.

[Son of Nature] is not messing with you. Even if you are deep underground and far away from the woods, as long as you stand on solid ground, you will still have an extremely high recovery speed.

"hehe."

Vincent stood still, grinning sinisterly.

"Your defense is indeed very strong, and I don't bother using the additional effects of this Colosseum. I naturally have my own way to ignore your dragon scales."

He held up the bone staff, and the gray-white magic light was extremely cold.

"[Blood and Bone Spiral]."

Rhodes suddenly discovered that the bones in his body were mutating and regenerating!

Bone spurs inexplicably extended from the bones and transformed into high-speed rotating drills, drilling straight through the heart in the chest cavity.
