Chapter 533 - 266: 9th Rank Undead_1
Facing the formidable undead swinging a sword veiled with the Revenge of Light towards him, Long Dangdang instantly felt a life-threatening crisis. In that moment, he swiftly executed a comprehensive response.
Five figures instantly separated from his body. His earth dragon form was the first to impose a gravitational control over the estoc. At the same time, a wall of fire and a wall of water manifested in front of him. A soft wind transmuted into a shield, blooming in front of him as well.
This was the simultaneous action of four clones representing water, fire, earth, and wind, all using immediate mid- to low-level magic. Throughout the time Long Dangdang followed Wu Di, the latter stressed not the mastering of powerful magic, but rather the understanding of basic magic theories. For instance, low-level magic is the most important component of all magic. A proficient mage must be able to utilize low-level magic as their main combat method. This is because only low-level magic can be utilized rapidly and be better controlled.
A 9th Rank magic demigod can indeed use Forbidden Spells, but how much time does it need to cast one? How taxing it is on the caster? The aftermath of casting Forbidden Spells is hardly controllable. Even though they contain world-shattering power, an uncontrollable force cannot become a truly powerful force.
So, magic isn’t just about having a higher rank and stronger power. It depends on how it’s used, controlled, and how maximal effects can be produced with minimal spiritual power and cost.
Just like the current situation. Four clones instantaneously conjured four spells of only 2nd and 3rd Rank. The whole process took only an instant to complete. In this brief window, Long Dangdang didn’t have the chance to chant a spell.
The defensive effect produced by four low-level spells clearly wouldn’t shield against that fatal strike. Nevertheless, they could still influence it by reducing the impact force of the sword.
All four spells were cast from left to right, with the gravitational control being the strongest. It contained innate talents skills of the earth thorny dragon, deviating the estoc from its original path by half an inch. The fire wall, water wall, and wind shield were all deployed obliquely for defence. Although they were penetrated instantly, the aggregate defence against the estoc weakened its power by twenty percent and redirected its path by fifteen percent.
Deep darkness enveloped the surroundings, a low-level dark magic, the Light Devouring Spell. It’s capable of temporarily absorbing all light, disrupting vision. It has no offensive or defensive capabilities, but its swift execution prevents the powerful undead from altering the direction of his estoc.
Even though this sounds lengthy, it all happened in the blink of an eye. Even the undead couldn’t help but appeared astonished—not just towards the many clones—he was also taken aback by Long Dangdang’s swift reactions.
