A shield not a judgment of physical strength.
Over time you can get not only the 3rd but also the 4th and 5th attacks.
Not only that but you will be able to acquire other skills as well. There are quite a few skills that depend on the consumption of stamina.
“It makes me happy.”
New possibilities always excite my heart.
Taesan is moving.
“Kareuk!”
Lizardman throws a spear. fast pace. But Tae-san cuts it off and stabs him in the chest. A sword pierces the heart.
Kaaa… …
[You won against a lizardman with a spear.]
[You have definitely attacked the opponent’s vitals. Acquired the special always-on skill [Sudden Attack].]
“I finally got it.”
It took a little longer than expected.
It was a skill obtained through repetitive work so I had to work hard but I couldn’t afford it because of God’s trials and hidden bosses.
[Special always-on skill: Vital Ball
case]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[Inflicts more damage when attacking the opponent’s vitals. I don’t think half of it will be added yet.]
Gives more damage when hitting the heart neck or stomach. As the proficiency increases three times the damage is added.
It is a basic skill obtained after continuous battles and a skill that must be acquired. finally got it
The 6th floor has now been cleaned up. still
Unlike before there was nothing special so there was only one boss room left.
“It will be soon.”
There are no monsters to touch him. Re-Zen takes quite a long time so you can experiment at your leisure.
he spread his hands
[You activated a fireball.]
Hwareuk.
Flames burn in the air. I stare at the flames flickering above my hands.
[What to do?]
test.
Taesan has been testing his skills. He checked all sorts of situations and conditions.
Now it’s the magic’s turn.
[Are you doing all kinds of things?]
“The difference is unexpectedly large.”
If I didn’t know the trigger conditions for Shedding Taesan it would have been quite difficult against the two named goblins. He must have struggled not knowing that he would fall into an arrow and barely won.
However Taesan easily overcame it. The downside of shedding everything is known through experimentation
because he had a wife
The same goes for magic.
The wand can only use fixed magic. However since you can now learn and use magic different results can be better depending on the conditions just like skills.
“Can’t you control it?”
I tried to sharpen the flame from earlier and make it into an arrow shape but it didn’t work. It was as if they were forced to maintain their current state.
[Flame Arrow. It’s high-level magic with increased penetration. adjust that way
If so there can’t be a stage of magic’?]
“It doesn’t work like this.”
[Are you not asking me?]
“If you get stuck while doing it.”
Try it yourself and find the answer when you get stuck. It has been Taesan’s preferred method ever since the time of Earth.
This time try using fireballs in succession.
[You activated a fireball.]
[You activated a fireball.]
[You activated a fireball.]
Several flames are drawn in the air. They did not overlap each other and were kept at a certain distance.
Unlike the wand multiple magics could be used at the same time but the magics didn’t seem to be combined.
Fireballs with the image of Mount Tai fired all at once.
Pervert!
The lingering swamp is oxidized as it is. The blown fireball was in the form of a circle with an empty center.
“It can’t be like this.”
Fire Wall. A magic called the wall of fire.
I tried making something similar with a fireball but no window appeared.
Unlike skills it didn’t seem like they would learn that magic even if they drew similar effects from lower magic.
‘Or there are other restrictions.’
First of all the fireball ends here. Start checking other spells.
food production.
[Basic Magic: Food Production]
[Mana Consumption: 5]
[Summons a small amount of edible liquid and edible solids.]
Taesan spreads his hands.
[You activate food production.]
Tuduk.
A wooden bowl and wooden cup appear out of thin air. There was a clear liquid and thick porridge in it.
Taesan lifted the cup and tasted it slightly.
“It tastes like water.”
It was just water nothing more to say. This time I scooped up the porridge and ate it.
“… … It tastes like porridge.”
It felt like I had eaten something thick and tasteless. Taesan trembled and put the bowl down.
“What changes with food production?”
[The driest magic I know is food production.]
A drowsy answer came back. nothing
meant that there was no Taesan calmly put away the porridge.
At this point there is only one magic left.
[Basic Magic: Random Mental Attack]
[Mana Consumption: 5]
[Uses mind magic that is randomly harmful to the target. Attempt to judge the target’s status abnormality.]
“Would you like to change something?”
Random mind attack as a wand was simple. when judging the opponent
also do No new roll can be made until it succeeds or fails.
Can only be used once at a time. That was the limitation of the wand.
However looking at the fireball it seemed that there was no such restriction when using magic.
“Does the mental check also overlap?”
[It can be. But it’s not as overlapping as you think is it? It’s such an overlap that resolves the first decision and immediately tries the next one.]
“Is it sequential?”
Not bad though. It means that you can cause lasting confusion in the other person’s mind.
Unlike the wand it can attack simultaneously while performing a mental attack. If so you may have something to gain.
Taesan inferred several possibilities.
The ghost who had been watching asked as if he was tired of it.
[Aren’t you bothered?]
“Is it fun?”
Combining things to create something and pursuing new possibilities. And it actually produces results. There is no reason to bother.
A rough tidy up is over.
Magic has a slight delay but can be used at the same time. And magic unlike skill draws similarly
You can’t get a new skill by doing it all.
But something was missing.
So you’re saying you can’t learn magic on your own?
[hmm… … That’s a bit ambiguous.]
The ghost said in a puzzled tone.
[For magic either the talented person learns it on their own or it is passed on to someone else. it’s either one It’s because you can’t learn higher magic no matter what you do like you just experimented with fireballs. but… … I mean sometimes.]
“Sometimes?”
[Those who do not have the talent to acquire higher level magic with the concept of skill. I heard about them from time to time… … I don’t know how you got it. They also got it by accident so they didn’t know how and they didn’t want to tell me.]
They can easily get it because they talk with the concept of community but they do not have such information. Information about skills and magic was so valuable that even the ghost didn’t seem to know the answer.
It’s not that I don’t know.
Then it meant something else was going in the direction.
[You activated a fireball.]
Hwareuk.
Flames rise in the air. Activate the fireball again. Two flames rise in the air.
Fireballs do not merge with each other. Taesan looked at the fireball suspended in the air.
‘ different.’
Fireballs used as staffs are immediately
flew to
However the fireball used as magic stayed by Taesan’s side until Taesan gave him instructions.
That is there are two states.
A stationary stationary state and a flying trajectory state.
And the fireball has a subtle delay. In terms of time it was a very subtle delay of about 0.2 seconds.
The speed is the speed that Taesan can catch up with.
“Will it happen?”
[what?]
Taesan drank the mana potion instead of answering. The empty mana tank fills up by half.
With one breath Taesan kicked his feet.
[You activated a fireball.]
A fireball is drawn next to Taesan running at the end of the room. Taesan who ran to match the speed of the fireball that flew right away realized the fireball once again.
[You activated a fireball.]
A fireball is drawn right in front of the flying fireball.
Two fireballs overlapped and turned into one fireball.
[uh?]
It is a fireball that is about twice as large as before.
Taesan glanced at it and ran again triggering a fireball.
Again the fireballs merged the moment they overlapped each other.
Repeat that until the room is over. A total of five fireballs combined
At the end a sphere significantly larger than before collided with the wall.
Quaang!
The room shuddered with a huge rumble. It was a power that could not be improved by a fireball.
[You have learned [Fireball].]
[…] … Was it like this?]
Unlike when acquiring a skill this is a very simple explanation.
But it was like learning a new skill.
*
[Beginner Magic: Burning Ball]
[Mana Consumption: 6]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[Fireballs of appropriate size are fired. Enemies without immunity receive greater damage. Enemies who are immune also take moderate damage. Attempts to determine the status abnormality [Burn] on the target. Has little physical force.]
Several things have been added. Judging from the vibrations of the moment the power seemed to increase greatly.
[You activated the burning ball.]
There is a flame. It was incomparably larger than a fireball.
“Is it like this?”
[Was the fixed state and the flying state completely different judgments… … I didn’t know.]
the ghost muttered tremblingly.
“It is not that difficult
Isn’t it?”
Just run while triggering the fireball. But the ghost said in a tone to stop talking nonsense.
[Because fireballs are basic magic right? And to be agile enough to follow a fireball you have to go quite deep to reach it. By that time I won’t be using basic magic. Few people have learned magic so how do you know that?]
is it?
To be honest Taesan’s stats were too high. Catching up with a fireball is blood even when you close your eyes
because you can do it By that time the enemies had similar stats so there was a way to throw them away.
[And how many of you do you think will learn by experimenting with determination? I’m just lucky enough to learn it. Most of the time I don’t even know how I learned it.]
“I guess so.”
Right away Lee Tae-yeon didn’t know how he got the addition. It was only after Taesan told me that I realized it belatedly.
“I get it roughly.”
It’s not that you can’t learn new magic. Unlike skills this and that condition is quite tight so it seems like you can’t learn it.
Taesan got up and tried various methods.
They shot fireballs and arrows to make fire arrows activated fireballs and fireballs at the same time overlapped each other and even collided with each other.
[Ughhhh. I’m dying of boredom.]
The ghost twisted Bebe’s body. Instead of answering Taesan continued with another experiment.
all.
I spent two hours like that. However he couldn’t learn new magic probably because he didn’t really have it or because he didn’t have the conditions.
“Is this about it?”
I learned one burning phrase in about twenty attempts.
It was a satisfactory achievement. In severe cases it even went down to the decimal point so a 5% chance was close to a jackpot.
Taesan took out his sword and entered the boss room. she was pretty bored
The ghost’s voice was colored with anger.
[okay. Skills are good but let’s go down the labyrinth. If you go down you can get something better right? If you are on the 7th floor you can also teach swordsmanship?]
“Kaak!”
The Lizardman was seen in the boss room.
[A Lizardman fighter has appeared.]
“Kaak!”
Lizardman comes running. Taesan casts magic.
[You activated the burning ball.]
Hwareuk.
Fireballs fly.
The warrior tried to teach with spirit.
At that moment Taesan launches a mental attack.
[You activated Confusion.]
“Ka-ka-ak’?”
[You have activated madness.]
The fighter’s pupils shake. I shake my hair to shake off the confusion and my eyes come alive again.
However the insanity judgment immediately hit
all. The fighter is confused by the scream that penetrates his head and is unable to block the fireball.
“Kaak!”
[49 damage to Lizardman fighters.]
“49? It’s great.”
This can be used for damage rather than containment. He casts magic again on the Lizardman who has barely shaken off his madness.
[You activated the burning ball.]
[You have activated Powerlessness.]
[You activated Confusion.]
card… …
The warrior’s movement slows down. He shakes his body violently to shake off his powerlessness but a confusion judgment comes in immediately.
[50 damage to Lizardman fighters.]
[Judgment Success! The Lizardman fighter is in a burn state.]
Repeat again. Fireballs and mental magic are implemented in succession.
Lizardmen scream helplessly.
“Keeeh!”
[Feel sorry.]
Can’t do anything.
I don’t know if I can attack by swinging a weapon but I can’t even do that with a mental test.
All the fighters can do is get beaten up.
“It’s fine.”
So far magic has been only a secondary area. It was because there were many restrictions as much as it was used as a cane.
But now it’s different.
As long as there are no delays or restrictions it is possible to catch monsters using only magic.
can wife Lizardmen dying right away was the proof.
“On the key••••••
[You have won against the Lizardman Fighter.]
Level up with skill
