Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 726 The use of lightning

Imagine that under various restrictions, you may need to activate the mantra of 'Lightning Blessing' at the moment you see the enemy's flaw, and then successfully hit the opponent's flaw, allowing 'Lightning Slash' to fall directly on the opponent's body, in order to kill him. The effect is fully realized.

But when strong men fight, the opportunity is often fleeting. If you use your mantra, the opportunity may slip away from you.

There is even a high possibility that oneself will reveal flaws in the process.

At the same time, considering actual combat, there is a high possibility that this 'Lightning Slash' will be blocked by the opponent's weapon.

"Silk, you fix this crystal iron sword on the wooden stake, and I will do another test."

It's not a complicated matter, and Silk can do it quickly.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu activated the 'Lightning Blessing' again, adding lightning to the crystal iron sword in his hand.

Immediately, he gently touched the crystal iron sword fixed on the wooden stake with the crystal iron sword blessed with lightning in his hand.

In an instant, the electric current poured out, but it quickly dissipated and became invisible. The power of the electric shock was almost not reflected at all.

Zhou Xu knew the reason in his heart, it was because of the knife handle!
The handle of the knife is made of wood, and dry wood is an insulator, which prevents lightning from traveling along the weapon to directly shock the opponent's body.

Various restrictions have significantly reduced the cost-effectiveness of this move.

If used well, it is a killing move; if used improperly, it is a pure waste of mantra power and a missed opportunity to kill the enemy.

However, Zhou Xu did not continue to struggle. This kind of problem cannot be changed. Continuing to struggle is just a waste of time. It is better to seize the time and make more new attempts.

[Attack blessing. 】

【Speed ​​blessing. 】

This time, Zhou Xu did not add the power of the mantra to the weapon, but instead added it to Silke, trying to strengthen Silke.

As for the 'Lightning Blessing', Zhou Xu didn't use it, mainly because he was afraid of accidentally electrocuting Silke.

After all, no one can guarantee at this time whether the lightning will cause harm to the blessing after being blessed on the flesh and blood body.

"how do you feel?"

After receiving the blessing, Hilke ran, jumped, punched and kicked, feeling the changes in his body.

After some tossing, he stopped and shook his head.

"Reporting to your Majesty, my subordinates did not feel any changes."

This answer caused Zhou Xu to fall into deep thought for a short time.

[In terms of strengthening, I actually already have the more simple and crude mantras of 'Attack Strengthening' and 'Speed ​​Strengthening' to use. I originally wanted to compare them to see which one has a better strengthening effect and consumes less, and then decide. Which one to use? It seems now that 'blessing' can only be used on things like weapons and equipment? 】

Since he already had the "Basic Weapon Blessing" mantra combination, he was influenced by his preconceived notions and tried to bless the weapon as soon as he started. The whole process went very smoothly indeed.

But now, corresponding restrictions have undoubtedly appeared.

But it didn't have much impact on him.

After finishing this part of the test, Zhou Xu began to try other mantras one by one that all looked decent in combination.

In the case of failure, it is actually trouble-free. You can replace it with the next one immediately, which does not take much time.

After some tossing, Zhou Xu stretched his muscles and bones. In the process of continuous failures, the total amount of mantra in his body was almost consumed by half. [Thanks to the fact that my power of mantra has become stronger and stronger over the years, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to bear all this trouble. 】

There is only one mantra left to be tested next, and that is lightning attack.

Zhou Xu asked Silke to place the wooden stake five meters away. After the opponent retreated, he immediately activated the mantra.

【Lightning attack! 】

In an instant, a bolt of lightning burst out from his palm, just like a thunderbolt from his palm, sending the wooden stake flying.

There was no need for Zhou Xu to say anything after that. Silke hurried over and picked up the wooden stake for confirmation.

During this period, Zhou Xu stood on the spot, feeling the consumption that the 'lightning attack' brought to him.

However, before Zhou Xu could think about it, an exclamation from Hilke in the distance interrupted his thoughts.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Xu hurriedly looked closely and saw that the wooden pile that had been blown away by his 'lightning attack' was now on fire.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu was very calm.

Electric current generates heat when it encounters high resistance, and dry wood can be said to be an excellent fuel. When the lightning intensity is high enough, it is not uncommon to be split into fire.

Taking this as a premise, just based on the momentum generated by that lightning bolt, it is not difficult to see that the power of this 'lightning attack' is far greater than the small current generated by the 'lightning blessing'.

But in comparison, the consumption is really huge. One 'Lightning Attack' can consume almost a quarter of the mantra power in his heyday.

The consumption of a 'Lightning Blessing' is less than one-fifth of that of a 'Lightning Attack'.

It can only be said that being strong has its advantages, and being weak also has its advantages.

While his thoughts were whirling, Silk had already extinguished the flames and moved the wooden pile back.

The surface of the wooden pile had been scorched black by the 'Lightning Attack', and the area hit from the front even showed signs of scorch cracks, which further proved the power of the 'Lightning Attack'. It is enough to be used as a killing move.

At this moment, the remaining power of the mantra in Zhou Xu's body is only enough for one more shot. After using it up at the same time, he will have to face a situation where the power of the mantra is seriously depleted.

Considering the side effects, Zhou Xu gave up the idea of ​​testing it again and planned to recover for a few days before talking.

After several tests, he roughly figured out the situation of 'Lightning Attack'.

What he didn't expect during this period was that the maximum attack distance of this 'lightning attack' was five meters while ensuring its power.

During the subsequent test, he tried placing the wooden stake at a height of six meters. As a result, the entire power dropped off a cliff, and then it dissipated into the air before reaching seven meters.

On the contrary, the closer the distance, the stronger the power.

If he put his hand directly on the wooden stake to release the 'lightning attack', there might be a risk of affecting himself. For safety reasons, Zhou Xu did not try this. After all, this matter could kill someone if he was not careful.

But what can be confirmed is that if the attack distance is shortened to less than half a meter, it is basically a state of being face to face with the enemy.

Then, the 'lightning attack' released can directly split the wooden pile! If it hits a person, it will definitely kill him.

But it’s best not to forget that the closer you are to the enemy, the greater the risk you need to bear!

If you accidentally get yourself involved, it won't be worthwhile.
