When A Mage Revolts

Chapter 32: Choice of skills

Views:

Benjamin had to admit that he was a skilled person.

Just like playing games in the previous world, he didn't look at the picture or the plot, and the most important thing was his skills. As long as there are all kinds of strange and imaginative skills, this game has hit his mark. He is not very interested in upgrading. All upgrades are for gaining skill points. Every time he clicks on a new skill, his sense of accomplishment is overwhelming.

However…

At this moment, after finally traveling to the magical world, you tell him that he can only have three skill points

Has one of them been wasted on water polo

"This account is useless due to training. I want to delete it." He looked at the sky and didn't know who he was talking to.

"You should also know that no one will respond to you if you say this. It will only make you look like a middle-class person." The system complained silently.

Benjamin was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled to himself: "Who said no one would respond? Didn't you respond?"

The system said indifferently: "I'm not a human being."

Benjamin sighed. He stretched, cheered up, and picked up "Introduction to Divine Art" again.

Three skills are just three skills. He can't really delete his account and start over again!

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he had to continue reading this book to know how to get the remaining two skill points. In this world, it was impossible for everything to go as he wished. He couldn't waste such a good opportunity for out-of-print internal testing.

Isn't it the same for the fourth-generation pope, who used three axes to cut out the world of the church

He believed that if used correctly, water could become very powerful.

In this way, Benjamin accepted the fact that he could only learn three magic spells. He exerted his optimistic attitude and once again put himself into a state of meditation and study, and continued reading "Introduction to Divine Art".

In the book, at the end of this part, it is written how to strengthen the Seal of Holy Light and how to condense a new Seal of Holy Light. The strengthening method was similar to the "meditation" that Benjamin had developed before, so Benjamin was over with it. How to condense the new Seal of Holy Light has become his focus of reading.

The book writes that to condense a new Seal of Holy Light, it is necessary to continuously gather and compress the Holy Light stored in the prayer space to make it substantial. Then, as long as you recite the selected magical spell to the energy body that has become the Holy Light, the second Seal of Holy Light will be successfully condensed.

If you change it to magic, it actually means gathering and compressing water elements, right

Well, it doesn’t feel like it’s that difficult.

After reading this paragraph, Benjamin did not hesitate, put down the book and started working.

He entered the consciousness space, concentrated his attention, and directed the free water elements to begin to gather. This process is actually quite similar to meditation. The water element in the space slowly moved under his command.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly and no difficulties were encountered.

However, he soon discovered a new problem:

too slow!

Due to his poor affinity to the water element, this process seemed extremely difficult and slow. He estimated that if he wanted to reach the level mentioned in the book, it would take about a year of continuous hard work.

Damn, a year!

Although a year in the consciousness space will be much shorter in reality, about half a month, but...

Benjamin tried to stop directing the water elements, and then, the newly gathered water elements immediately dispersed.

This thing is not like Thunder. It doesn’t matter if the download speed is only a few KB. If you put it there, it can be downloaded in the next ten days and a half. You have to keep an eye on this thing all the time, and you can't interrupt it. If you accidentally interrupt it, you have to start from the beginning.

Is this a fucking joke

If he had to stay in the conscious space for so long, he would probably turn into a mummy in reality.

No, there must be another way!

After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly came to his mind. He first used a water balloon technique in the conscious space. After the water ball was formed, he did not scatter it as before, but centered on the water ball and began to guide the water elements to gather towards the water ball.

This is his idea: If the accumulated water element cannot be retained, wouldn't it be better to give it a core or something to retain it

The moment the first piece of water element came into contact with the water ball.

A soft ding came from somewhere.

Benjamin suddenly found that he seemed to be in that blue world again, with countless mysterious runes surrounding him, like an endless universe. This time, he stayed here a little longer than last time, but unfortunately, he still had no time to see anything clearly before he returned to the dark space of consciousness.

After a brief daze, he quickly came to his senses.

"Success?"

He looked back at the suspended water ball.

Upon seeing this, an expression of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

The water ball was like a magnet, gathering the scattered water elements around it at a slow but firm speed. You must know that at this moment when he was dazed, he did not deliberately guide the water elements, but these water elements were still like ants returning to their nest, and continued the gathering process spontaneously without Benjamin's half-distracted attention.

The problem that was bothering him just now was solved at this moment.

Where is this water polo? This is Thunder’s fucking floating window!

Benjamin is like a treasure.

Next, he only needs to wait for the notification sound that the download is completed. It's funny to say that the notification sounds of magic runes and thunder are quite similar, they both make a ding sound.

In this way, the problem of condensing magic runes went more smoothly than he imagined. Somehow, he felt that the God of Destiny felt that it was a bit unfair to only give him three skills, so he compensated him from another angle.

To be honest, he doesn't really want this kind of compensation. It's better to compensate him with a few more skills.

But speaking of skills…

He should also think carefully about which two magic powers should be given to the remaining two places.

According to the book, the power and controllability of magical spells solidified using the Seal of Holy Light can be continuously strengthened, with no upper limit. Therefore, in a sense, there is not much difference between learning entry-level magic and palace-level magic. At most, it just doesn't sound that cool.

In addition, Benjamin urgently needs to improve his strength, so he must learn new magic as soon as possible. Therefore, he could only choose the relatively basic magic he had at hand.

At the beginning, he wanted to learn a water barrier first, which would have a certain protective ability, and his attack ability would rely on a more enhanced water ball technique. As for the remaining skill point, he planned to keep it for more suitable magic discovered in the future.

However, when he saw the water ball that was constantly gathering water elements in the consciousness space, he suddenly changed his mind.

This water polo is no ordinary water polo.

Benjamin realized that the so-called "unlimited upper limit" in the book may be of greater significance than he thought. It was not just that it could be strengthened to the extreme and drown a city with a water ball, but that it gave the water ball unlimited possibilities.

What a water barrier can do, a water balloon can do too. Isn't it just hollowing out the water polo and turning it into a water bubble? As long as there are enough water elements compressed in the bubble, the defense will definitely not be bad.

The same goes for the water of life. As long as the water ball is condensed in a specific structure, it can have the ability to heal people.

To put it bluntly, by strengthening the character, he increased the skill of Water Ball Technique. Not only can it increase damage and reduce cooldown, but it can also have a series of tactical significance such as defense, treatment, control... etc.

As a result, it seems a bit redundant for him to choose his three skills from a tactical perspective. Anyway, when traveling at home, killing people and setting fires can all be solved with one move of water polo. Water polo is good, and water polo keeps people safe, so what’s the use of learning water barriers

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the three spell slots were like a hint to him.

He thought he was going to do another experiment.

After chanting the spell, Benjamin summoned another water ball.

The difference from before was that this time, he began to try to control the water ball, constantly changing the shape of the water ball, compressing, expanding, forming bubbles like a water barrier, turning it into a bird or a fish... A small He had a great time playing with the small water polo in his hands.

Only then did he realize that water polo was such a wonderful spell.

But he wasn't just playing around.

He was testing, testing the limits of this water polo—finding out what the water polo spell couldn't do, and then using the other two magics to make up for it.

After half an hour of playing with the water polo, Benjamin finally stopped. He scattered the water ball and let it die.

Through this half-hour experiment, Benjamin also confirmed his conjecture: water polo is omnipotent. He can change its shape, strength, volume, even density, physical properties... As long as his magic character is strong enough, he can make the water ball do anything.

Except that water polo becomes not water polo.

Water polo cannot freeze or turn into gas.

This discovery instantly made Benjamin dream back to his junior high school physics class. The teacher handed down a quiz with a fill-in-the-blank question: What are the three states of water? Some children scratched their heads, but Benjamin confidently filled in the three blanks with "liquid, gas, solid".

There was a certain destiny, and he didn't expect that after so many years, this thing would come back to him in such a way.

Which three magic spells should he choose

He has done this question.

This is a scoring question.

Soon, he picked out two suitable spells from the more than fifty spells provided in the Bible: Ice Breaking and Pillar of Steam. Judging from the introduction, the Ice Breaking Technique is to condense ice fragments to attack, while the Steam Pillar is to summon hot water vapor to hurt people.

According to the definition of the Bible, they are both offensive magics like water balloons. But in Benjamin’s view, they are endowed with infinite possibilities.

In particular, Benjamin had a hunch that after these three magic characters were successfully condensed, new changes would occur as a result of their interaction.

The "water" with three states in one sounds a bit powerful.

After confirming the magic he wanted to choose, Benjamin suddenly felt a lot more confident. He felt that he had made the right choice. He felt that something had quietly changed after he made this choice.

If there really is such a thing as the Wheel of Fortune, then it must have crossed a new scale just now.

The world will change because of him.

Suddenly, Benjamin shook his head, broke away from the unexpected sense of grand mission, and smiled to himself.

I can really think about it myself.

It's better to do the things in front of you first.

His eyes returned to the "Thunder Floating Window": the download speed was still too slow. Therefore, he also joined the team that gathered water elements, and used his affinity for water elements, which may not be very good, to speed up the condensation of magic characters.
