I can't be an NPC

Chapter 303 Sign Up - Death Plains Thanatos

Li Wen found the previous battle records from his memory.

During the blood frenzy period...

This familiar blood talent.

Isn't this the protagonist who doesn't bully the young and poor?

It turns out that the warlock Helen mentioned was him?
In the last voiceover, the protagonist didn't have a deep understanding of his own abilities, but now after a period of development, he obviously has a clearer understanding of his talents.

The so-called warlock is not so much a professional system as it is a bloodline ability.

It is not like other professions that require the professional to work hard to train himself or challenge powerful enemies to obtain soul energy. It is more like those powerful creatures. As they grow up with age, they will naturally gain biological power. Levels - such as dragons.

No wonder it is a dragon vein warlock. The magic used by the protagonist comes from the overflowing dragon magic power flowing in his blood.

So he has no way to teach others, after all, this is not a profession that can be obtained or improved by hard work.

And the effort he needs to put in personally is nothing more than learning and practicing to try to control the huge original power in his body.

Not only that, through the resonance of a certain professional system, Li Wen can get a glimpse of the other possibilities of the true protagonist of the warlock in his heart. It is not only people or families whose ancestors' blood is full of dragon magic power, which can give birth to warlocks. possible.

The touch of a powerful demon, the blessing of a dryad to a newborn baby, the drinking of a mysterious magic spring, etc., may all arouse the flames of magical talent.In addition to this, there is the gift of the god of magic. Exposure to the elemental power of the inner plane or the experience of the violent and chaotic magic in the chaotic sea, or a glimpse of the inner workings of reality itself may be an opportunity to gain magical power. .

It's just that most of these forces are chaotic. Before those talented people have enough control, spells will often cause terrifying and destructive impacts on everything around them in various unimaginable forms.

The heart of this dragon vein warlock is full of his confusion about this kind of power.

If he is the only one in the world who has this power, then what will he do with this god-given power?
Use it to accomplish noble and extraordinary deeds, or is it his supreme power over mortals to do what he wants and take what he wants?
While inheriting the power, the arrogance of the giant dragon over human beings is also affecting his mind all the time.

However, when he was at a loss, a figure suddenly broke into his world, telling him with actions that power itself is nothing, and actions are the real basis for everything.

The Holy Teacher - Bobby!
This is the title he learned from the mouths of the other Chosen Ones, that is, Master Li Wen of their Sword Wind City.

The great mage told himself with his own actions that he should use his strength to benefit the world, rather than become a lonely king above the world.

Leaving aside the inner entanglement of the real protagonist, Li Wen also learned about the abilities that this profession can display at the current stage of the "protagonist" from the Dragon Vein Warlock himself mentioned in his voice.

This is a spellcasting class that also uses Charisma as a key attribute to cast spells.

And the advantage over other spellcasters lies in their level 2 characteristics——

Magic Spring: At 2nd level, you unseal the source of magic in your body, and the magic that emerges from it manifests as your available spell points, which you can use to create various magical effects.

Spell Points: You start with 2 sorcery points.After that, every time you increase a warlock level, you will get more spell points, and your spell points can never exceed the value of your current level.Spent spell points can be restored by completing a long rest of at least 8 hours.

Flexible spellcasting: You can use spell points to obtain additional spell slots (not higher than the fifth level), or consume spell slots to exchange for additional spell points.As the warlock level increases, you can also learn how to use other spell points.

The existence of spell points allows them to obtain more spell slots more flexibly to cast spells, and the effect of spell points is not just to convert into spell slots.

For example, the level 6 characteristics of Dragon Vein Warlock——

Elemental Affinity: Beginning at 6th level, when you cast a spell with the damage type corresponding to your dragon ancestry attribute, you can add your Charisma modifier to a single hit of the spell's damage.At this point you can also spend 1 sorcery point to gain the corresponding damage resistance for 1 hour.

Each type of giant dragon corresponds to different damage attributes, such as black dragon and red copper dragon correspond to strong acid; blue dragon and bronze dragon correspond to lightning; gold dragon, red dragon and brass dragon correspond to flame; green dragon correspond to poison; silver dragon and white dragon correspond to freezing and many more.

Apart from the unique mechanism of spell points, the most powerful thing about this talent class lies in their level 3 characteristics——

Metamagic: Beginning at 3rd level, you can twist the spells you cast to suit your needs.Choose two of the following metamagic options, and you gain one each at 10th and 17th level.Except under certain circumstances, only one metamagic item can be applied to a spell.

Prudence Spell: When you cast a spell that grants saving throws to other creatures, you can protect some of those creatures from the spell's full power.Achieving this effect requires you to spend 1 sorcery point and designate a number of target creatures, up to a maximum number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1).The designated creature simply succeeds on the spell's saving throw.

Ranged Spell: When casting a spell with a casting range of 5 feet or more, you can spend 1 sorcery point to double the spell's casting range; when casting a spell with a casting range of reach, you can spend 1 sorcery point to double the spell's range. changed its cast range to 30 feet.

Empowered Spells: When making a damage roll for a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll a certain number of the dice.The maximum amount of reroll damage is equal to your Charisma modifier (at least 1), and you must accept the new result.Greater Spell Metamagic can be combined with other metamagic options.

Lasting Spell: When casting a spell that lasts at least 1 minute, you can spend 1 sorcery point to double the spell's duration, but the final result cannot exceed 24 hours.

Enhanced Spell: When casting a spell that forces a creature to save against its effect, you can spend 3 sorcery points to make it harder for one of all targets of the spell to make a saving throw against the spell for the first time.

Instant Spells: When casting a spell with a casting time of less than 6 seconds, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change its casting time to instant.

Subtle Spell: When casting a spell, you can use 1 sorcery point to ignore the verbal and somatic components required to cast that spell.

Twin Spell: When casting a spell that affects a single creature and has a casting range other than your own, you can use sorcery points equal to the spell's level (cantrip costs 1 point) and target another target within the spell's casting range.For a spell cast with a high-level ring, if the target becomes multiple after its ascending ring is cast, it can no longer use this method to increase its targets.

These supermagic abilities make the warlock's spellcasting ability even far superior to that of ordinary mages to some extent.

This is a profession born purely for casting spells.

The existence of spells is fair to everyone, and the various spell effects that can take effect on the bottom-level rules and mechanisms of the world have the same effect in anyone's hands.

However, the protagonists with magical elements flowing in their blood have inherited the special ability to control spell power possessed by the extraordinary creatures from which their blood originated. They can easily use their will to distort the effects of spells to make them fit own use needs.

They don't need to understand the fundamentals of the spell, just what they want to do.

And unlike paladins, which use charisma as a key attribute, warlocks' ability to distort spells does not come from psionic power, but pure influence.

They are the protagonists, and they can't say what they say!
It seems that these abilities have nothing to do with other people.

These are extraordinary abilities that can only be acquired based on blood, and even if ordinary people put in a lifetime of hard work, it is difficult to hold a candle to them.

However, Li Wen didn't think so.

What is a mage?
A mage is the key to deconstructing the universe and a seeker who analyzes all truths.

For mages, there is nothing in this world that is impossible.

If it can't be done... then it can't be done.

To a certain extent, the legendary specialty that I developed before—Spiritual Core Sophon, may not be another form of development similar to this ability.

Moreover, since these abilities of warlocks have been proven to exist and have traces to follow, they are always more reliable than Li Wen's groping alone in the dark.

Judging from the voice of the Dragon Vein Warlock, the bloodline from the ancestors is not the only way to obtain the Warlock's ability. The gift of the gods, the touch of the devil, and looking at the Chaos Sea are all ways to awaken the Warlock's ability.

Coincidentally, Li Wen happened to have many similar advantages.

And even if it is a family with the same blood... the protagonist's grandparents may not all be dragon vein warlocks.

There are quite a lot of metaphysical factors in it, and Li Wen can also try to make these accidents into inevitability.

After harvesting the battle records that Li Wen felt almost satisfied with, Li Wen ended this behavior of finding a needle in a haystack.

There are so many players, it is enough to get one, and it takes too much time to check the rest, and it is not necessarily possible to get any useful information.

After selecting the eight level 10 players among them, Li Wen waved his hand.

"set off!"

Everyone held hands with each other and stepped into the gate of the abyss that was surrounded by pale white mist.

This is the way to ensure that all the people who enter are in the same place with the greatest probability after multiple verifications.

Li Wen's left and right happened to be two younger sisters...

"Happy, hold hands with Bobby-sama."

"Take a photo together, hehe~"

It was posted on the forum in a blink of an eye.

……

The silent and uninhabited wilderness exudes a deadly atmosphere. Occasionally, a crow with a hollow skeleton passes by in the gray sky, making harsh and sharp cries, and crooked tombstones walk in front of everyone's eyes indiscriminately, with half of their body slumped in an arrogant posture The little skull silently opened and closed its jaw.

The two big black holes on the skull that were supposed to be eyes stared blankly at the group of people who suddenly appeared in front of them, and the faint blue soul flames inside were extremely dim, as if they were about to go out at any moment.

"click~ka~"

The little skull fell into deep thought.

General Boswell was lost in thought.

After a while, I looked behind me... Is there a return ticket?

Young birthday!Thanatos!

The abyssal layer where the tyrant who rules death resides.

How could they be so "good" that picking one at random is such a great gift?
There's nothing to play, let's go home.

"Master General..."

The adjutant's teeth chattered a little.

"I think we need to find the resurrection point as soon as possible."

After a long time, some of the titles spoken by the players have also been reversely passed on to the aborigines.

Of course, they definitely cannot be resurrected.

The Chosen One doesn't matter, anyway, death means losing some soul energy.

But their aborigines were not like this. They were extremely cautious in exploring the gate of the abyss in the past, and few key figures dared to set foot on this land.

If it weren't for some kind of thing called the Shuttle Curse smuggled from the Golden Lion Kingdom, how would they dare to take the initiative to set foot in such a ghostly place as the abyss.

As long as the resurrection point mentioned by the Chosen One is bound, they can return to the Gaia Continent by using the shuttle spell location that has been bound in the city of Gaia Continent.

This is one of their credentials.

In addition, because of Li Wen's request this time, as the hosts, they must not be at a disadvantage, so they entered the gate of the abyss together with Li Wen.

But I didn't expect... But I didn't expect that it would be signed.

Thanatos, the Plain of Death, is one of the scariest layers among the layers that the Chosen One has discovered!
Fortunately or unluckily, I fell into several exploration reports here, and the longest one didn't even exceed 5 minutes.

An army of undead like a tsunami and avalanche will easily overwhelm the ranks of the living.

And what's even more disturbing is that they will bring their most trusted guards with them when they explore occasionally.

What about now?There are only eight Chosen Ones who seem unreliable.

"Don't panic!"

Trembling, Boswell took out the half-smoked long black cigar.

"I'm a level 14 fighter."

As a non-commissioned officer of the Burning Blade Legion, there is naturally no coward.

Maybe he is also afraid of death in his heart, but reason tells him that this is also a great opportunity to win the favor of the Chosen One.

It is impossible for Master Li Wen to have contacted every Chosen Son, but even the Chosen Sons who have never met him are extremely sought after.

It is no longer a secret to the aborigines that the chosen one has a special channel for information transmission.

and so……

In times of crisis, Fang showed the true qualities of a soldier of the Burning Blade Legion.

"Follow me to kill the enemy."

After two quick puffs, Boswell pulled out the saber from his waist.

The little skull also turned around, and it felt the breath of its companions waking up.

"Kakaka~"

On the boundless plain, crooked tombstones began to topple, and the soft ground was lifted by some force.

Attracted by the breath of the living, countless souls of the dead woke up from the long eternal sleep.

"Puff~Puff~"

Sen Bai's bone claws pierced the ground at his feet, and the younger sister player next to Li Wen screamed subconsciously, and jumped into Li Wen's arms at the same time.

Instead, Li Wenxie threw it to the ground aside with a smile, causing her sister to let out a tender cry of pain.

"Li...Master Li Wen?"

The adjutant who was keenly aware of Li Wen's state was a little surprised, and looked at Li Wen who took the initiative to walk forward, and shouted softly behind him.
