Oster suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the useless USB flash drive on his chest projected an electronic interface, displaying graphics and text that only he could see. The pages of the book on the side are turning over;
["Spells of various attributes, types, and characteristics, as well as spellcasters of various planets, races, and genders, are not classified into high or low, noble or bad, good or evil." Data retrieval completed, source: Chapter 3, Section 7, "Mortal Spellcasting System" Twenty-three lines; Author: Sargeras. Related literature: "There is no good, no evil, no holy light, only energy"; Author: Yair Benedictus. 】
Being pinned to the ground by the prisoners around him, Oster could hardly breathe. He was thinking; is this a retrieval system? I didn't figure out how to use it all the way, but now it suddenly started to work. Is it necessary to comply with the requirements? Only under certain conditions?
There is also a dialog box next to it, which displays [Spell: Power Word Shield (Level 1) has been parsed. Are you sure you want to use it? 】
Oster didn't know what it meant, so he moved the cursor with his mind with difficulty and clicked the confirmation button. In an instant, a dazzling light burst out, catching him off guard and being so shocked that he was blinded for a second;
Feeling the pressure on his body suddenly relieved, Oster climbed up gropingly. After regaining his vision, he saw that the prisoners around him who had restrained him had been thrown away in pieces, falling to the ground and groaning.
He didn't know what was happening. He lowered his head in confusion and saw a swaying spherical light film covering his body. The trainers were also greatly surprised. After seeing clearly the spell on Oster, the trainer leader said in disbelief;
"This is the Holy Word of Mantra... What's going on? Why is a pariah beggar using Holy Light Magic?"
In Oster's mind, memories from a few days ago began to slowly come back to life. It was only at this moment that he finally understood what happened when he faced the true form of the Dread Lord on that night when the chrysanthemums were slightly broken;
At that time, just like now, all the spells that he saw were read and recorded in the e-book. As long as he clicked the button on the book, he could copy them back as they were. To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is just like a certain wheel eye, except that it does not need to consume its own energy at all.
It was by "stealing" skills in this way that he was able to fight with Solarius. The bat transformation technique he relied on to escape in the end was also a stolen Dread Lord skill.
As for the number behind the spell, it seems to indicate that there is a limit to the number of free copies. Every time he secretly learns a spell, it can only be used once at most. This is why he can't release a single skill after that and thinks that the USB flash drive is a pure waste cheat. .
Because the incident happened so suddenly and he was so hurt and stimulated, he actually completely forgot about it afterwards - if he had known this was the case, he wouldn't have had to live in such a miserable state these days!
In front of them, the holy soldiers did not dare to step forward rashly, and discussed with each other their next move. Oster's eyes fell on a trainer behind him. It was this spellcaster who had just applied shield magic to his teammates.
In Oster's field of vision, the cursor and dialog box not only displayed spell details, but also clearly marked items containing magical energy - such as something hidden in the sleeve of the instructor.
Oster stared at the U disk interface and read out the annotation displayed on the side; "Spell scroll, B level 2, consumable, inscribed ink and birch grain paper structure. Used to store fixed spell energy, equipped with spell insurance .Stored Spell: Smite (Level 2)."
The instructor was stunned. In a panic, the thing fell to the ground. It was a scroll with golden runes written on it, which was exactly what Auster said.
Auster continued; "It seems that the so-called blessing of the Holy Light is a complete lie. As long as you open the scroll and recite the insurance spell, anyone can release any spell, including holy spells."
"Stop talking nonsense there, it's just a cover-up!" The leader of the training soldiers interrupted Auster, rushed forward and slashed with his sword.
But Oster didn't take a step back or dodge. The light shield on his body shone for a while, the sword edge was directly bounced back, and the leader was hit by the reaction force and retreated continuously.
The reason why Oster dared to remain motionless was that the U disk interface clearly displayed: [About to be attacked -32, remaining absorption capacity of the shield is 124, defense type: physical and collision attacks. 】
The leader steadied his body, and the hand holding the sword couldn't stop shaking. Thanks to the mantra shield that still existed on his body, he was not injured in the impact just now. However, needless to say, he has realized that the light on Oster's body is not a deception, but the same holy light spell as his own;
The leader quickly ordered his men behind him to break the shield. The spellcaster instructor no longer hid, picked up the scroll on the ground, pulled off the safety cover, and began to recite the incantation.
[Scroll Magic: Smite, spell level 2, type holy, ignores resistance and absorbs shields. 】
Before the spellcaster's instructor finished reciting the spell, the USB flash drive read the spell that was about to be released.
But this spell was of a higher level and the incantation was complex. The instructor was obviously not a skilled caster, and half a day passed before he finished casting the spell. Oster couldn't stand it any longer, raised his hand and waved a golden light while saying, " Is this the spell you want to cast?"
Because it is copied exactly, there is no need for casting time and energy consumption, and it can even be released before the unskilled copyee.
As the leader of the training soldiers watched in surprise, the golden light flying out from Oster's fingers penetrated the light shield around him. He immediately jumped into the air, dropped his sword, screamed and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.
The caster trainer was so frightened that he stopped casting spells. He looked at the miserable state of the leader, then looked at Oster, and said tremblingly, "Without scrolls or spells, the second-level holy spell can be cast instantly. It must be at least a knight captain or Only an Episcopal priest can do that..."
The leader wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and scolded his men, "Don't be stupid, he must have a scroll hidden somewhere on his body. I have seen many such charlatans. Let's go together, don't give him a chance to recite the curse!"
It seems that this man is unusually stubborn. Under such circumstances, he still thinks that his side still has a chance of winning. Although his men were suspicious, they obeyed their leader's orders. The two instructors surrounded him on the left and right. The leader who fell on the ground also got up and picked up his sword.
At this time, Oster had no idea. He had just used up the spells to copy the opponent. It would be bad if they only used physical attacks. The shield on his body was only enough to absorb two or three more attacks.
Oster unconsciously stepped back a little, thinking about countermeasures. It would be nice if there were powerful attack spells. At this time, a dialog box popped up on the USB disk interface as he thought;
[The remaining number in the spell library: 1. Name: Judgment (Fire Specialization), spell level 5. 】
Any spells left? Oster suddenly remembered that when the paladin killed the old man during the day, he witnessed the whole process, so the spell was also recorded.
However, that Judgment Technique is obviously of a very high level. It is not comparable to the three-legged cat scroll trick of the instructor. Can such a high-level spell be copied?
The situation no longer allowed him to dwell on it, so Oster clicked OK on the interface. As abundant energy covered his whole body, he emitted a dazzling light that was so bright in the night that it was difficult to look directly at him. The three instructors were shocked by this scene and stopped at the same time;
On Oster's body, the golden light as blazing as the sun made him look like a god, and the surrounding prisoners also widened their eyes.
A soldier murmured, "This, this is the brilliance of high-level holy arts. Only those who have been personally favored by the Supreme Holy Lord are qualified to call this kind of holy light..."
Auster followed the spell guidance on the interface, gathered all the energy in his body on one arm, and then pointed it to the sky, and a holy fire immediately appeared in the sky;
Then he waved his arm vigorously, and with his movement, a golden thunderbolt streaked across the night sky, and a huge hammer made of light fell from the sky, and exploded into red flames when it touched the ground. In the violent explosion, the ground was shaking slightly.
After the fire and impact, the smoke dissipated, leaving a three-foot-square scorched earth on the ground in front, like a crater.
The leader of the training soldiers collapsed on the ground, his face burned black by the smoke, and the edge of the scorched pit was only three inches away from his feet. He was so frightened that he not only dropped his sword, but also wet his pants and sat there shaking like a sieve of chaff.
Oster could actually precisely control the distance and location of the attack through the interface cursor, but he did not choose to kill the opponent directly;
Because the problems in this world stem from fundamental concepts and order, this debt cannot simply be placed on the heads of a few low-level soldiers. At least as far as I could see with my own eyes, although these instructors were hateful, they had not committed any fatal crime.
The remaining two instructors were also stunned. One instructor trembled and said, "How is it possible, the Supreme Holy Lord, how could he care for a beggar..."
The instructor next to him hurriedly interrupted him in a low voice, "Idiot, stop talking! Haven't you heard that some high-ranking priests and knights like to practice incognito in weird... uh, special ways?..."
The first instructor suddenly realized, but became even more frightened. The two instructors could not stand anywhere, nor could they run away, and they did not dare to look into Auster's eyes.
Seeing this, Oster took advantage of the situation and said in a deep voice, "You have ruined my good deeds, rats. Before I get really angry, disappear immediately."
The two instructors burst into tears of gratitude, quickly picked up the leader who couldn't stand up, and ran away in a mess. Oster breathed a sigh of relief. The spells he had secretly learned had been used up. He didn't know what to do if the confrontation continued.
He picked up the sword thrown away by the instructor and cut the ropes binding the prisoners one by one. When the prisoners saw that Oster not only did not blame what had just happened, but also let everyone go, they thanked him profusely and then fled one after another.
After everyone left, Oster picked up the USB flash drive hanging on his chest and looked at it carefully.
It's time to study this strange e-book carefully. If you can't even figure it out with your own golden finger, how can you take risks in the future?
