Zhao Xu once watched a certain ancient science fiction movie "The Matrix".
One of the most talked-about scenes is when the protagonist faces a bullet, the speed of time becomes extremely slow, allowing the protagonist to bend down to dodge the bullets. This process later became known as bullet time.
This is exactly what happened with the Swift Burst series of spells.
This is also the biggest difference between them and time-stopping spells.
During the time-stopping spell, the surrounding time is stationary and cannot have any substantial impact on the outside world.
But in the rapid burst state, time is still flowing, so Zhao Xu can still kill people by throwing fireballs.
Once the stun cost of spell sequelae can be avoided, it means that Pandora's box has been opened.
Now Zhao Xu is no longer the newbie he was back then, and he is ignorant about everything.
He immediately thought of all the possibilities that could upset the balance.
"The first idea is to trigger the release?" Zhao Xu said.
When he cast the "Resuscitation" spell on Eswig that day, he allowed the other party to make a new saving throw.
If Zhao Xu had level 3 at that time, he could use the level 2 magic "Glory Halo" to directly remove Eswig's fear state, saving her from having to gamble on immunity.
So as long as someone casts a spell on him that can remove the stun effect after he falls into a dazed state.
"Then how do you achieve it?" Antinoya asked softly when he saw that Zhao Xu finally started to think with the logic of a mage.
"For example, someone casts a spell like 'panacea' on me?" Zhao Xu provided an idea.
Panacea is a fourth-level magic that can remove thirteen negative conditions from the recipient, ranging from blindness to shock, including dizziness, through contact.
"Don't you think it's too expensive to find someone to cast a fourth-level magic for you?" Antinoya asked, "Even a demon pet can't accompany you like this."
Zhao Xu suddenly felt enlightened.
The solution is feasible, but it must continue to be optimized.
As his character level increases, the item familiar will gain spellcasting abilities, such as being able to cast zero-level spells, but that's about it.
Even if there is a spell that can allow the magic pet to gain spellcasting ability, it is still limited.
Zhao Xu's direction needs to be thought of at a lower cost.
It's not just "cure-all" spells that can remove negative conditions.
Zhao Xu began to think about the spells in his mind, and slowly his eyes became brighter.
"Medical knowledge." Zhao Xu said slowly.
Medical knowledge is a second-level magic for priests, but it is also a first-level magic for rangers, so Zhao Xu has already mastered this magic.
After casting this spell, as long as Zhao Xu has a level 5 medical skill, he can additionally remove negative status effects by casting conjuration medical spells such as treating minor injuries.
This includes the "dizziness" state.
Both the familiar and the master share the spell status and can also enjoy the spell effect of "Medical Knowledge".
Therefore, as long as Zhao Xu's magic pet casts the zero-level spell "Treat Minor Injuries" on him when he is dizzy, it will trigger the effect of "Medical Knowledge" and relieve him of the "dizzy state".
The healing amount of 1 hp of the zero-level divine spell "Treat Minor Injuries" is insignificant, as long as it is a "conjuration medical" spell, it is enough.
"But if you rely on a magic pet or someone else to heal yourself, you will be a little passive after all." Zhao Xu lowered his head and thought.
The more links you go through, the easier it is to have problems.
It is indeed risky to entrust life-related matters to too many links.
After he fell into dizziness, things were no longer under his control.
This is not a risk that a sane mage should take.
"Indeed." Antinoya nodded.
After spending time with Antinoya for a long time, Zhao Xu already understood what she meant.
If this road could only go this far, I'm afraid Antinoya would have told him that it was unrealistic from the beginning, instead of continuing to guide him to think.
Zhao Xu continued to recall the spells he had cast.
The few days in the final scroll space were the most extravagant days in Zhao Xu's life when he used magic.
He was also extremely impressed with magic.
Even those spells above level 3 are not among his known spells and can only be recalled by him.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's whole body froze.
He thought of a spell, but the effect made him a little unbelievable.
And Antinoya looked at him expectantly.
Zhao Xu whispered: "Cooperate with the diversion spell treatment?"
Diversion Curse Healing is a fifth-level divine spell.
During the duration of the spell, as long as someone casts a spell within six meters around Zhao Xu, he will be able to draw energy from the flow of magic and automatically receive the therapeutic effect of conjuration medicine.
Zhao Xu's own casting will also trigger this effect.
Therefore, every time Zhao Xu casts the "Swift Burst" series of spells, it is equivalent to releasing a healing spell for himself.
And this treatment effect triggered the effect of the first-level spell "Medical Knowledge", which removed the "dizziness" effect for him.
After this set of logic, Zhao Xu has already felt that when the magic levels stack up to a certain level.
He can avoid many seemingly costly spells through spell chains.
This was a lesson Antinoya taught him.
Spells are indeed strong and weak, but he needs to explore the strengths and weaknesses of each spell.
The library has a lot of materials about spells. In fact, there is no shortage of various spell usages, but most of them are limited to the core series of spells.
Like the "Swift Burst" spell, if Zhao Xu hadn't encountered it in the "Final Scroll" space, he might not have known the existence of such a spell in his life.
Some nine-ring mages may not master this spell.
"Okay, don't be in a daze. Your first idea passed the verification, now let's talk about the second idea." Antinoya asked.
This time Zhao Xu didn't even think much and said, "The second idea is immunity."
In Arthur, the name of the strongest defense is immunity.
As the defense level continues to increase, the accumulated value may be wiped out by Zhao Xu's "Ghost Strike", a direct armor-piercing attack spell.
Only effects like Zhao Xu's "Star Cloak", which is immune to non-magical weapon attacks and magical weapons as long as the reflection save is passed, are real defenses.
The same goes for the dizziness effect.
"Where is the implementation idea?" Antinoya asked.
"The mercy of the martyrs?"
Zhao Xu slowly said this fourth-level magic unique to the paladin.
This expanded divine technique can only be learned by a paladin at level 13, and Zhao Xu can cast it when he reaches level 8.
This spell only occupies a fourth-level spell slot and is immune to seven or eight negative states such as dizziness, exhaustion, fatigue, etc. Even if the health value drops below 0 points, it can remain awake until the official death at HP-10.
The only pity is that it can't be paired with long-lasting spells like Diversion Spell Healing and Medical Knowledge.
"Well, then you already have a certain understanding of the entire spell list, so I won't say anything more." After hearing Zhao Xu's reply, Antinoya nodded slightly and continued: "I see the loophole. What?"
"Infinite Company?"
Zhao Xu finally brought a tone of uncertainty this time.
In fighting games, infinite combos are meant to stun the opponent from the beginning to the end until they die.
In the spell, infinite connection means that Zhao Xu can continue by releasing rapid burst spells.
Especially the advanced swift burst at level 8 will gain almost an extra round of time (6 seconds).
In this round, as long as he follows the previous wave of rapid burst spells.
Until Zhao Xu's spell slots are burned out, he can remain in that state where time flows extremely slowly.
During this period, any spell he releases can be effective on anyone.
Others can't move, but he can keep throwing spells until there are no more spell slots to release "Swift Burst".
If he is not invincible like this, who else is invincible
Even if Zhao Xu can only cast the "Secondary Swift Burst" spell now, and the action time he gets is only enough to move, he can still do a lot of tricks.
Even if someone attacks him, he can burst out this spell and forcefully close the distance.
"So after this spell was abused, it was corrected by the will of the world." Antinoya interjected at this time.
"Some multidimensional worlds adhere to the rule of no gain at any cost. If you get extra actions, you will inevitably fall into dizziness. If you are immune, you will not be able to cast this spell."
"As for Arthur, there is a certain price rule. Only after the price takes effect can you cast this spell a second time."
Antinoya explained.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu understood.
He can enjoy his first burst of swiftness without being dazed afterwards.
But when he wants to cast the spell a second time, he must accept the previous stun effect so that he can continue to cast the spell.
Therefore, this also eliminates the possibility of him continuously casting the "Swift Burst" series of spells, so that others can only watch him play alone.
But at this time, Zhao Xu also began to notice that most of the methods he thought of involved divine arts.
Ordinary mages who don't have magical skills have to go through many twists and turns, so naturally they are not as convenient as his dual cultivation of divine skills.
But Zhao Xu immediately realized that he was overthinking.
Where can an ordinary mage learn this kind of magic
"Okay, next, let's conduct a test." At this time, Antinoya suddenly said to Zhao Xu with a teasing smile.
She took out a pair of dark red high boots from her dimensional bag, and the soles of the boots were bright copper.
"Considering that after you use the secondary swift burst spell, the time you have to move is very limited. So these Shunpo boots will be used as trophies for the next test."
"It only requires a movement action to trigger its use, 5 times a day, and can teleport 6 meters in a short distance each time."
Zhao Xu's eyes couldn't help but light up as he looked at the high boots.
He can also use these boots to teleport short distances. And because the activation time is not long, he can completely release a "mark movement" spell within 1 round and then activate the boot teleportation.
At the fatal moment, even if someone cuts a knife in front of him, he can calmly release the "Secondary Swift Burst" spell, and then use the limited time to activate the boots to teleport away.
Isn't this the most primitive kiting tactic
"Let's give it a try?" Zhao Xu smiled confidently at Antinoya.
