Age of Adepts

Chapter 16: After the battle

Views:

Until now, Greem has understood his flaws.

Too low physical fitness is his biggest drag. Even with the help of a powerful chip, he still can't exert the strongest combat power he imagined.

The agility of only 4 points covers his reaction speed, movement speed, and flexibility in controlling his body. Although the chip's dynamic visual capture gave him timely feedback on the movement of Mary in Red, it was difficult for his "dumb" body to convert the instructions in his mind into necessary physical actions in a timely manner.

Therefore, in many cases, Greem clearly knew the opponent's attack direction and angle, but the defensive posture he rushed to was always a beat behind. Often when the opponent's sharp claws are swept across the body, the sweeping flames will rush over, but they can't even catch the opponent's clothes.

As a result, in the huge arena, only two groups of hot flames were seen surrounding Greem, blocking left and right, but he was still groaning and hissing miserably. As for the red-clothed Mary, she was like an erratic red ghost, shuttled and shone around Greem's body. Most of the time, the terrifying flames were moving along her slender body, but they still couldn't do anything to her nimble and swift figure.

Fortunately, Mary in red was just testing Greem's combat ability like a game, and every attack was a shallow wound, otherwise Greem would have been torn apart by her and fell to the ground. But even so, Greem's body was covered with claw marks after being scratched by her sharp dagger-like claws, blood flowed down his face.

Although the injuries all over his body were fatal, Greem felt extremely humiliated and resentful.

A month ago, this Mary was a junior apprentice who was not much better than herself, but because of the damn witchcraft pollution mutation, now she can play with herself like a pet. This burst of anger was suppressed by Greem, even though he knew he was invincible, he still bravely urged Yanliu to chase after the opponent's red shadow.

But in the dark, Greem's mind is still as calm as ice and snow, and he is quietly communicating with the chip. Since the dynamic vision can't capture the opponent, it can only use another trick.

Greem waved his hands vigorously, and the terrifying flames attached to his hands became stronger and more turbulent as his mental power was rapidly draining. And in the fundus of his eyes, a strange blue dot was flickering slightly, marking an interception point vaguely calculated by the chip.

When Greem sensed the red-clothed Mary appearing in front of him again, his hands moved apart suddenly, and the terrifying stream of flames instantly blocked the attack routes on the left and right sides, leaving less than half of the attack line in front of him. meters of defensive gap.

The red-clothed Mary, who was about to dodge to the left of Greem, snorted coldly, stopped and stood up, with a slight sway of her body, she narrowly escaped the sweeping attack of the scorching red flames, and instead bullied the opponent from the insignificant central gap. The gap between the chest and abdomen.

Hmph, careless boy, should I leave a mark on your face, or a mark on your chest

Mary, who still had the strength to spare, thought about it obsessively, and was a little hesitant for a while.

Suddenly, her expression changed, and her figure suddenly flew backward at a faster speed, so fast that she couldn't even teach Greem a lesson. But even so, her retreating figure still couldn't completely avoid the two streams of flames that suddenly changed their direction.

Two frightening streams of flames flanking Greem's left and right clashed together in front of Greem's body, and exploded into sparks splashing wantonly, creating a small sea of flames locally.

Mary in red exclaimed, and stepped back 10 meters away, feeling a little pain on her body. Looking down, his bright red gauze dress had turned into a hole-in-the-wall dress, with holes scorched by the splashing sparks, and the spring brilliance inside was undoubtedly evident.

"You bastard... how dare you destroy my clothes..."

Mary in red's icy face froze suddenly, and her cold gaze was fixed on Greem who was dancing.

It was rare to be able to force the Mary in red back, and Greem was so excited beyond description at this moment. He finally discovered the opponent's combat flaws. To deal with this kind of highly sensitive assassin-type enemy, although the witchcraft with too concentrated power is more deadly, it is easy to be dodged by the opponent. On the contrary, this kind of ranged witchcraft can limit the opponent's dodge space...

When he was triumphant, Greem suddenly sensed a murderous aura soaring to the sky, and Greem looked up in shock, only to see a runaway girl in a ferocious state with her teeth and claws open.

"I… "

Greem didn't know well, just as Greem was about to explain, a red shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and Mary in red was already pressing his head with one hand and pushing him against the stone wall. The violent and ferocious impact shook Greem's limbs and bones at the same time, and even felt the pain before his eyes went dark and he passed out.

And the moment he passed out, the last consciousness left in his mind was...

So fast!

...

When Greem regained consciousness again, his whole body was already in pain. But what made him even more distressed was that he seemed to be being dragged away by someone.

A cold little hand grabbed his ankle and dragged him upside down on the ground, and he dragged him all the way back to his residence. And his unprotected face was dripping with blood from the rough ground.

Greem didn't dare to struggle rashly, after all, his previous actions seemed to have angered the moody Mary in red. Therefore, he could only continue to close his eyes, suffering pain from various parts of his body.

It's good to know that it hurts, it's much better than being killed in a coma!

Secretly, Greem also conducted a self-examination, reporting that the big red warning on the projector was really shocking.

Vitality: 3/11

Uh, his life limit is only 11 points, and now his life force has dropped to 3 points, he is almost on the edge of the cliff of life and death. Any less, and he might be in a critical state of serious injury.

That damn Mary in red didn't hurt his vitals, but just used his game-like scratching to weaken his vitality to such an extent. From this, the huge gap in strength between the two can be perceived even more.

A moment later, Mary in red had already pushed open the wooden door of Greem's residence, throwing him into the darkness of the house. Then a cold voice sounded: "Prepare well tonight, we will continue in 17 hours!"

It turned out that Mary had already noticed her awakening.

Greem raised his head in shock, and all he saw was a half-open wooden door and a slender and plump young girl's body reflected by the candlelight in the corridor.

17 hours? Isn't that the shortest time for him to recover

Greem opened his mouth to cry out, but the wooden door was closed heavily, leaving him alone in the deep shadow.

...

Half an hour later, Greem finally got up from the ground with his strong will, and lit the candle.

After taking off the tattered apprentice's short robe, his slightly thin body was covered with criss-cross claw marks and wounds. Not deep, but surprisingly dense.

By the dim candlelight, he began to carefully handle his scarred body.

He must have basic healing ointments on hand. After all, to live in the tower, healing ointment and antidote are two essential items.

Enduring the pain, he gritted his teeth and applied the ointment to the wound, and there was a maddening itching from the wound, but after the itching was over, there was a burst of refreshing cold and the rapid growth of flesh and blood. Sour. Thus, Greem slowly healed his injuries while crying and laughing for a while.

After dealing with the injury, Greem was free to focus on another part of the self-inspection report.

Attributes: strength 4.01, agility 4.04, constitution 3.02, mental power 8.07

Professional experience: 528/1000

Personal skills: Burning Hand (solidified), Flame Arrow (solidified)

Having been trampled by Zurou just now, it actually brought him a comprehensive increase in various physical attributes, and even a slight increase of 12 points in professional experience. Greem couldn't help but sighed to the sky, could he be living such a miserable life in the future

With grief and indignation, Greem lay down on the bed and began to meditate continuously every day.

Once again came to the spiritual space composed of countless light spots, the light group where Greem's spiritual consciousness resided suddenly turned into a ferocious monster, and pulled out more than a hundred tentacle-like mental filaments from his body. Under Greem's conscious control, these spiritual threads attacked in all directions, constantly cruising and waving, absorbing the free fire element in the air at a speed ten times faster than before.

In the countless times of meditation before, Greem just passively absorbed the fire element particles in a daze. How can the efficiency compare with the current active attack? With such efficiency, if he completes a meditation, the effect will be more than ten times that of the past.

The day today was really too long, and there were so many things that happened that he was dizzy, and it was only at this moment that he had a chance to breathe. So just after the meditation ended, he fell asleep without even having time to check the results of his meditation.

...

At dawn the next day, Greem was awakened again by a heavy knock on the door.

"who?"

"I, Tony. It's time to…"

Greem grinned, and realized that 6 days had passed since the last patrol outside the tower, and it was time for them to go patrol again!

Quickly glanced at the results of last night, he was overjoyed by the mental strength of 8.15. One night's meditation has increased by 0.08 points. Doesn't this mean that even if he doesn't study any witchcraft books, he can use the most basic meditation skills to push his mental strength to the level of an advanced apprentice within three months? !

Of course, there is more than one piece of good news.

The flame arrow that is solidifying will be completed in another hour. At that time, he will become a junior apprentice who has mastered multiple witchcraft, and he will no longer be a rookie who is bullied at will.
