Chapter 353 The Battle Style of the Fortress Mage

Alice often heard Heather say that the higher the risk of reading ability, the greater the benefits can be obtained, and her reading ability [Gift to You The Flower That Never Withers] truly reflects this point.

Strictly speaking, her trait memory ability was self-awakened after she opened it, and it became the complete body it is now only after some polishing and adjustments with Heather's help.

There is no doubt that the effect of this mind ability is powerful. It can directly immunize against the corresponding damage from the conceptual level, and even absorb incoming attacks and transform it into its own mind energy and magic power. Combined with Alice's powerful ability from the ancient Settra race The magic talent and the attack-type magic spar that Heather collected for her can be called a small mobile fort with strong defense.

But the price of mind ability also has huge risks.

At first glance, the cost of using this ability for the first time is not terrible, but it will consume more mind energy as the time of maintaining damage immunity goes on.

But the second time he used his mind ability, the price suddenly rose to a higher level—temporary loss of one of the five senses.

What are the five senses?

【Vision】—corresponds to vision, that is, the optic nerve.

【Listening】—corresponds to hearing, that is, the auditory nerve.

【Taste】—corresponds to taste, that is, olfactory cells.

【Touch】—corresponds to the sense of touch, that is, the nerve endings.

【Intelligence】—corresponds to consciousness, that is, the brain.

No matter which one of the [five senses] is an indispensable sense that has been accompanied by human beings since birth, the sudden loss of any of them in a fierce battle will inevitably lead to errors and discomfort in Alice's personal senses.

But the price of using the ability for the second time is that you can choose which sense to lose, so there is room for maneuvering.After many studies, Heather and Alice came to the conclusion that compared with the other four senses, [taste] has the least impact on fighting.

Up to this point, the cost and risk of this mind ability has not been fully revealed until the third use of mind ability.

Randomly losing one of the [five senses], the cost and risk have reached a new level.

The remaining [Listen] and [Vision] have a great impact on the battle, not to mention [Touch].What needs to be noted is [wisdom], that is, consciousness.

If [Wisdom] is randomly drawn, Alice will immediately lose consciousness and fall into a coma.The effect of her [Gift of Undying Flowers] maintains both the price and the ability effect at the same time. If she loses consciousness, she will not be able to cancel the ability to take the initiative until the number of times the ability can be used is reset at [-] o'clock in the morning the next day. At this time, she will wake up.

Needless to say how dangerous it is to fall into a deep coma on the battlefield?

So Heather told Alice thousands of times that she must never bear the third price when she was unsure and alone.

I have used it once before to be immune to [Steel] damage, this time I activated the second ability to be immune to [Slash], Alice just felt that neither the nose nor the mouth could feel any taste, which was very uncomfortable.

On the battlefield, Eleg, the evil spirit carriage, began to circle the field far away and accelerate. The scarlet one-eye on his head stared at Alice and Heather with a strange red light, and the horseshoes collided with the ground, continuously splashing faint blue flames .

"Come on, apprentice, I'll fight for you." Heather held the thin golden chain in her hand and turned the absolute kingship like a chain knife at high speed.This is a rare opportunity for Alice to accumulate some combat experience, and at the same time let her experience what it feels like to fight against a powerful enemy.

Alice took two deep breaths and nodded: "Well, I see."

She began to gather all the magic power in her body, and as she waved the long stick in her hand, the silvery white shining magic power swayed from the top of the stick and turned into countless crystal fragments and fell slowly, enveloping her in it.

Seemingly having received the declaration of war, Eric also adjusted his direction and began to sprint towards Alice with all his strength!
When the silver-white crystalline magic power fragments fell under Alice's feet, they quickly dissolved and spread outward, forming a magic formation with a radius of two meters, and the edges were petals made of illusory light.

【Holy magic circle】!
The ancient Settras used magic in various ways, and Heather and Alice had studied it for several years, but they only came up with a few. [Holy Magic Circle] is one of them. The magic circle is opened with Alice's own magic power as the source, and is used to pry the flow of life in the nearby veins to borrow its energy.

The sound of Eric's horse's hooves was getting closer, and Alice, who was in the center of the holy magic circle, raised her staff and swung it violently in Eric's direction.

Advanced Magic [Big Thunder]!
The bluish-white light exploded in an instant, and the huge lightning beam that was enough to leave a short-term burn on the retina hit Eligo in an instant!Amidst the scalp-numbing crackling sound, the evil spirit carriage was forced to retreat continuously by the lightning attack.

Immediately afterwards, Alice raised the long staff high, spun it around, and then swung it downwards. A second, more powerful bolt of lightning shot out from the magic circle, and hit Eligo right on his body.

The function of [Holy Magic Circle] is to use the flow of life as the magic power source to cast the magic that Alice has cast before for the second time. The most wonderful thing is that it saves the magic power and casting time it needs to consume.

The evil spirit carriage dragged a long line of scorched marks on the ground, and the horse's hooves stomped heavily on the ground to stabilize his figure.Although scorched smoke was faintly coming out of the surface of the body, Eric's state did not fluctuate much.

Lightning is not very effective, maybe it should be replaced with ice magic?Alice spun the staff and raised the other end to the sky.

Intermediate Magic [Medium Blizzard]!
In the next second, the water vapor in the air condensed rapidly, and more magic power directly transformed into huge ice spikes and exploded around Eligo's body. The scattered ice arrows hit the body of the evil spirit horse, causing a fierce roar Voice.

It worked!The magic circle under Alice's feet was still running on its own, and the flow of life in the veins surged out and turned into huge ice edges to bombard Eric.

Heather was watching the battle from the sidelines. Is this the true power of the Fortress Mage who is favored by the planet?The blood power of the ancient species really has the most powerful magic affinity.It is hard to imagine how the ancient race of Settra was wiped out by Jenova two thousand years ago.

Because of practicing [Nian], Alice can use Nian Qi to supplement her own magic power when the magic power is insufficient, and at the same time, she can use [Nian] to quickly recover Nian Qi and magic power at a relatively safe time.

The evil spirit carriage was so bombarded by the continuous magic that it couldn't even raise its head, let alone get close to Alice.

The powerful magic bombardment made the surrounding abandoned train cars hang thick ice crystals or were directly blown to pieces, and the scene was a mess.

Just when Alice thought victory was coming, Eric suddenly burst out with unprecedented power!A thick black mist enveloped it and isolated the bombarded ice edges. At the same time, the holy magic circle under Alice's feet gradually dimmed and completely dissipated.

Heather tilted her head. Is this the second stage of the boss?
