Chapter 170: Wall Of Force
【Target Death, gained 9 Combat Experience, Level Up!】
High above in the sky, Anse laughed heartily, choked on a gust of cold wind, closed his mouth, but the curve of his lips couldn’t be suppressed no matter what.
Common soldiers give too little experience, but little by little it adds up, finally filling the remaining experience gap, which also shows that at least two hundred soldiers died in this attack.
Illyas glanced at him, silently rolled her eyes, feeling that Anse was sometimes very mysterious and steady, and sometimes like a child who hadn’t grown up.
“Go back and rest.” She pinched her sleeve cuff to wipe his sweat.
The remaining two Amn Camps were already prepared, dismantling tents, burying flammables with earth, dispersing positions, wearing armor, holding shields over their heads.
Anse looked down and surprisingly saw a familiar face, that Advanced Barbarian named Derik.
He and several Advanced Officers were staring fixedly at Anse, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
“Let’s go back.” Anse chuckled lightly, thinking in his heart to quickly level up to 9, letting these people rage impotently here for a while.
The two returned to Jacqueline Castle peacefully, freshened up, and it was just time for dinner.
The Amn people suffered such heavy losses that even if they had any plans, they could only pause implementation, no need to keep their spirits so tense.
In the Dining Room, Anse ate very quickly, Illyas looked at him with an amused expression, thinking he was tired and hungry.
“Are you going again later?” she asked.
“Rest for a bit, I’ll go to the Federation later to ask if there’s any tar left.” Anse pondered.
War is burning money, in this short while it burned through several hundred Gold Coins, but compared to throwing stones, throwing oil barrels seems a bit more satisfying.
“Be careful yourself, there are no shortage of Professionals with Flight ability, maybe they’re plotting against us.” Illyas cautioned.
Anse acknowledged, he had never underestimated the Amn people.
The Kingdom of Amn is wealthy and powerful, won’t care too much about the casualties of a few hundred common soldiers, those Advanced Professionals are their core strength.
However, fortune favors the bold, didn’t he just Level Up?
After dinner, he made an excuse to Meditate for a while, returned to his Room, and Teleported to the top floor of the Black Tower.
Lying on the bed, closing his eyes, his mind sank into his consciousness.
The Silver Twenty-sided Die floated quietly, the eighth symbol lit up more than halfway, the speed much slower than before.
‘I haven’t been idle either, maybe the experiences aren’t thrilling enough, or my exposure is too narrow?’
He thought for a moment, completely clueless, so he simply stopped overthinking.
He pulled up the Character Card, touched the Class option:
Level Up Sorcerer Level or choose a new Class.
‘Level Up Sorcerer Level.’
【Level Up: 9th Level Sorcerer!】
【Your True Dragon Power has been enhanced, Gold Dragon Power +1, Silver Dragon Power +1】
【Dragon Bloodline awakened, you have mastered new Draconic Spells: 「Legend Lore」, 「Dragon Summoning」】
【Storm Dragon Mark’s power enhanced, you have mastered new Spell: 「Elemental Summoning」】
【You can learn one new Spell, one School of Evocation Spell, 「Mana Control」 Level Up】
A series of prompts flashed by, Anse was overjoyed.
After 7th Level, the related Class Features a Sorcerer can master drop sharply, 14th Level awakens Dragon Wings, 19th Level gains Legendary Boon, quite awkward in between.
9th Level is the last time to master so many new Spells, the Draconic Bloodline and Storm Dragon Mark attached Spells have all been fully learned, future Level Ups will sharply reduce the number of abilities gained.
Anse first added the two points of True Dragon Power to Intelligence, pushing Intelligence to the Human Limit of 20, this way he could unlock another new Multiclass.
Draconic Bloodline brings two Fifth Ring Spells, both quite interesting.
「Legend Lore」: Fifth Ring, School of Divination.
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Casting Distance: Self
Spell Components: Verbal, Somatic, Materials（incense worth at least 250 Gold Coins as spell consumable, and four Ivory Boards each worth at least 50 Gold Coins）
You can name or describe a famous person, place, or object to obtain important rumors about the target. These rumors may include important details, interesting revelations, or secrets not widely known.
The more information you have about the target, the more precise and detailed the information you get, otherwise it might be a vague poem or metaphor.
If the thing you choose is not famous, the spell fails.
This is an upgraded version of Appraisal, can appraise Equipment, and also gain some secrets from abstract “Legends”.
Of course, the target must be a famous person or event, that is, what the game commonly calls “Legendary”.
For example Anse himself, having caused so many events, his Legendary is definitely not low. If others use 「Legend Lore」 to probe him, they can get a lot of accurate information about him.
‘Worthy of a Divination Spell, pity it’s only useful for celebrities, and the materials are a bit expensive.’
The second spell 「Dragon Summoning」 is a Fifth Ring Conjuration, generally only Wizards can master it, casting requires an expensive item engraved with a Dragon pattern, this material is also mandatory.
This spell summons a Dragon spirit to help you as an ally, base Duration one hour, disappears when Life reaches zero or spell ends.
The strength of the Dragon spirit relates to the spell ring level, Fifth Ring Dragon spirit attributes are stronger than Young Black Dragon, has Acid, Cold, Flame, Lightning, Poison Resistance, and immunity to Charm, Panic, Poisoning, very strong in combat.
‘Powerful aid, can also serve as a mount.’ Anse really likes this spell.
The only downside is that this spell also requires Concentration, after using it, many control spells can’t be cast casually.
「Elemental Summoning」 is similar to 「Dragon Summoning」, similar requirements, different casting materials, fortunately can be substituted with Arcane Artifact.
This spell summons an Elemental Being servant, choose from air, earth, fire, water elementals, Challenge Rating 5, completely obeys your commands.
Notably, if Concentration is broken, the Elemental Being does not disappear immediately, but is no longer under your control. It may turn hostile or flee, and will only be forcibly returned to the Elemental Plane after one hour.
Don’t think the Elemental Being’s Challenge Rating is low, they are actually very tricky, not flesh and blood, so immune to most negative Status, has Blunt Attack, Piercing Attack, Slashing Resistance.
Low Challenge Rating may be because their weaknesses are obvious, like fire elemental fears water, earth elemental fears Thunder.
The two new Spells are hard to choose, Fifth Ring Spells each have features, none are weak.
Evocation Spells are plentiful too, like Bigby’s Hand, Ice Cone, Fireball, Paladin’s Destroying Wave, and Wizard-exclusive Wall of Force.
Anse didn’t hesitate, decisively took Wall of Force!
「Wall of Force」: Fifth Ring, School of Evocation
Base Casting Distance: 120 feet（36 meters）
Duration: Concentration, 10 minutes
You can create an invisible Wall of Force with force at a designated location.
The shape of the Wall of Force is controlled by you, it can be a horizontal or vertical barrier, can float in the air or be fixed to a solid surface, can be shaped into a hemisphere or sphere with radius 10 feet（3 meters）, thickness one-quarter inch.
If the Wall of Force passes through a space occupied by a creature when formed, that creature is pushed to one side of the Wall of Force.
Nothing can pass through the Wall of Force physically. The Wall of Force is immune to all damage, cannot be Dispelled by Dispel Magic, but Disintegrate can destroy it immediately.
The Wall of Force extends into the Ethereal Plane, thus blocking travel into the Ethereal Plane through the wall.
‘This is the legendary Wall of Force!’ Anse exclaimed.
This thing is an ultra-strong battlefield divider, strong control, and self-protection spell.
「Wall of Force」 can form a fully enclosed force sphere to temporarily protect oneself, at this time the Spellcaster can ignore most attacks, as long as not encountering a Disintegrate caster, absolutely safe within ten minutes.
But the most common Method is to use this “force cage” to control enemies, like a powerful Warrior, the opponent cannot break the Wall of Force no matter what, can only obediently stay inside.
