Chapter 694: Skillful Stealth
【The operation was successful.】
[Nightmare difficulty, combat training qualification obtained. Currently unlocked Nightmare difficulty 1/4. ]
Noah panted and watched the surrounding environment slowly recover, then asked, "Can't we just proceed to the nightmare difficulty level?"
[Nightmare difficulty is a comprehensive training, and you need to pass four difficult difficulty trainings to be eligible.]
Noah understood.
"I see."
He glanced at the combat training interface.
"So, now my only option is to continue the teamwork training..."
Noah withdrew his gaze. He was not in a hurry to proceed to the next challenge and training. Instead, he reviewed what had just happened.
In the battle just now, he was facing a combat wizard who had mastered all the metamagic expertise.
He had fought this wizard five times.
If the previous levels used to obtain qualifications are counted, he has already made thirty challenges in a row. He has gradually adapted to the opponent's fighting rhythm and finally won the victory in a head-on battle.
Although the challenge was passed, there was a certain element of luck involved.
So he still needs to review.
"Perhaps it would be better to use spell upgrades here. Although it may consume twice as much magic power, I can suppress the opponent's magic and take the initiative. The opponent's shield barrier has been damaged before, and is now fighting against me. There is no leisure time to replenish it..."
Noah reviewed the entire review process again, referring to the information he had obtained in the battle and the information he should actually have obtained in the review. Comparing the two, he was trying to determine the battle timing that would be more suitable for him to adjust.
The opponents and timing of each battle are different, but the grasp of timing and analysis of details are the same. The more data and the more detailed the analysis, the more you can grasp the opponent's state and combat ideas.
It can fundamentally change a problem.
The mentality for fighting.
Before this, when facing an opponent, I had no idea about the other party's choice, was confused about the course of the battle, and had no idea in my mind how the battle should proceed.
And now, through constant battle training and review, Noah has a vague understanding of his opponent's intentions and fighting methods.
Just by processing the information, he could vaguely see the opponent's fighting options in his mind, and further judge the direction of the opponent's battle.
After marking all the possible better options, Noah re-ran the simulation in his mind.
After confirming his own body and consciousness, and taking into account the subsequent changes in this situation, he stood up, recovered from meditation, and selected the next item on the interface in front of him.
【You have selected simple mode. 】
[The second training test is: teamwork.]
[In simple mode, your teammates will have a combat awareness far beyond that of ordinary people. Please try your best to ensure that everyone survives and complete the evacuation. ]
Although the difficulty is also written as easy mode, Noah will not take it lightly this time.
From combat training, Noah has discovered that the basic difficulty requirements here are very high.
As the scene around him changed, Noah sensed a magical fluctuation very close to him. He subconsciously gathered his magic power, looked back cautiously, and said in disbelief: "Teacher?!"
That's right, he saw Li Daoxian, Yuan Hua and Melissa.
The three assistant coaches were all beside him at this moment, wearing the same wizard uniform as him. It was obvious that they were teammates.
"Why are you so surprised?" Li Daoxian said with a smile, "We don't have much time. We need to break out and leave here as soon as possible."
Noah stared at Li Daoxian and felt the fluctuation of magic power on him.
He is only at the level of a high-level wizard, so it seems that he is not an assistant teacher. In other words, he is just a clone at most. Yuan Hua and Melissa may also be clones.
Was it simulated by the training system, or was it derived from the teaching assistants mapping some of their spirits? Was it to be able to observe them more closely?
These thoughts flashed through Noah's mind.
Then Noah said calmly: "Tell me your situation in as much detail as possible."
The habits formed from the combat training in the previous level were still there, so Noah collected information as soon as possible.
He needs to have a clear understanding of his own combat power in order to determine which battles can be fought and which cannot be fought.
He then received detailed information about the three people.
It details their magical expertise, tactical roles, and some of their secret techniques.
Noah only took a glance to find that his three teammates, as expected of their assistant coaches, had the same faces. Each of them had abilities that should not be underestimated. Although the three had different roles, they also had the ability to deal with other roles.
More importantly, these people have all mastered metamagic expertise. If they were classified by strength, they should be considered senior high-level wizards.
Noah was sure that a combat team composed in this way should be able to evacuate as long as they were not facing a domain wizard.
Noah said, "I will be the main attacker. Teacher, you have stronger perception and spirit, so I will leave the perception and mind connection to you. Teacher Yuan Hua and Teacher Melissa, you can play freely. If there is any need for your support, I will tell you."
The mind network is connected.
Noah casually threw out the mind probe, and at the same time he also received the feedback from Li Daoxian's detection magic.
Comparing the two, Noah instantly locked onto the position of the nearest enemy.
Noah didn't hesitate, looked at Li Daoxian and said, "Seal off that place as much as possible."
Then, he raised his hand and cast a spell that increased the range and delayed the duration of the spell.
Plague Spread (Spell Upgrade + Spell Extreme Effect)
The combination of the two magics directly concealed the traces of the curse.
Although those wizards have shield certificates and are temporarily unaffected by magic, the curse will continue to be strengthened and superimposed within a certain range due to the spread of the plague.
As long as the shields of those wizards are broken, they will be infected by the curse and lose the ability to cast spells in a short period of time. Even if it is dealt with in time, Noah can do a lot of things during this time. What's more, Noah will not give them time to deal with it in time.
Seeing this, Li Daoxian raised his hand and flew out countless streams of light made up of runes, like winding snakes. The textures on their bodies gradually dimmed and then sank into the ground.
After a short rest, Noah released a range-removing magic.
With the positioning of the mind probe, Noah can accurately define the range of magic removal around those wizards.
There was almost no reaction time.
The next moment, the shield around the wizard hiding there suddenly lit up and made a crisp cracking sound.
Before they could react, their perception was weakened the next moment, as if they were covered by a layer of fog and they could not see anything around them clearly.
They realize they have a problem.
They wanted to push, but the magic power in their bodies seemed to be rusted and could not be gathered.
"broken!"
They realized that the other party was well prepared and had set a trap at some point in time.
When they looked up, they saw a dazzling green light and a blurry human figure behind it.
Faintly, they seemed to hear a soft chant: "The Serial Killing Curse."
The interweaving green lights look like the facets of a gem.
In just a moment, all the wizards fell down like wheat.
Noah sighed.
He had prepared a lot of backup plans, but it seemed that they would not be used. He did not expect that this was actually the easy mode.
He had been fighting against difficult opponents for too long before, and each of them was as sticky as taffy and refused to die. No matter what, the opponent always had a way to deal with magic attacks, and at worst could slow down the damage. Even if he had the advantage, he could only seize the opponent's mistakes bit by bit.
Although each battle is a quick attack, it actually lasts quite a long time.
There aren't many enemies that can be killed so easily and efficiently like this.
At this moment, he saw a lot of translucent snakes appearing around him, floating in the air, as if biting something in the void.
The snake bodies gradually appeared, with a large number of rune patterns flashing on their backs, and then they swallowed the things in their mouths bit by bit.
You can definitely see a circular outline within the snake's body.
All the way down.
Noah took a quick glance and determined that it should be something similar to a life contract, which should be bound to the lives of these wizards. Once they die, it will trigger a feedback.
However, these feedbacks were swallowed by the snakes at this moment, which should have been blocked.
Sure enough, things would be much better with teammates. The less information was exposed, the easier their subsequent battles would be.
After looting the storage rings and storage bags of these wizards, I packed up everything that could be used, and that was considered as supplies.
It is not impossible to continue this way of supporting war by fighting.
Noah took the time to regain his magic through the "heating" and planned to take the potion at the same time.
At this moment, a thumb-sized, round object appeared in front of Noah's eyes.
"Use this."
Noah raised his head and saw that it was Yuan Hua who spoke.
Yuan Hua let his hair fall down and smiled confidently: "Although I can't do better due to the limited conditions, it will still recover much faster than yours."
Noah picked it up and ate it without hesitation.
Golden elixir.
This secret potion making method unique to Yuan Hua's school was something he had already seen during his enlightenment.
It melted in the mouth and then turned into a large ball of pure magic power to replenish the whole body. More importantly, even the consumed spirit seemed to be replenished.
If we simply talk about the total amount of replenishment, it is similar to high-level magic potions.
But the difference is that high-level potions will accumulate drug resistance if taken in a short period of time, and have certain side effects, but this jelly-like thing in front of you has no side effects at all, or it does, but they are so subtle that they are undetectable.
"Is this the golden elixir...it is indeed amazing."
Yuan Hua smiled and said, "This can't be considered a golden elixir. At most, it's just a pill made with a special technique. It's a pity that your killing curse has broken these souls too much. Otherwise, the effect of the medicine should be even better."
Yuan Hua stood beside the fallen wizard, pulled his hand away, and easily gathered the broken soul into his own hands. He made circles with his hands and rubbed it a little, and it formed the pill that Noah had just taken.
Noah's pupils contracted.
With conceptual perception, one can clearly see what complex changes have taken place as Yuan Hua pinched and pinched the silk.
The soul fragments extracted from the corpse were reorganized and layered in Yuan Hua's palms. During the circling process, impurities were pushed out and the pure parts were reorganized and condensed in the center of the circle.
The soul itself is a product of high-level rules. It was decomposed and downgraded in Yuan Hua's hands, forming a large amount of pure magic power and spirit. This is why it can be replenished after taking it.
The complex changes of the soul are simplified to a rubbing of the hands and a circle.
Yuan Hua put pills one by one into the crystal bottle.
Yuan Hua smiled and said, "Come on, come on, one bottle for each person. This way, when you run out of mana or feel tired, you can take one, hehe."
Melissa gently brushed her hands over these people. Something seemed to break on their bodies. Then Melissa pinched them and three balls of light green flames floated in her palms.
Then she pushed her hand, and three balls of flame floated to the sides of Yuan Hua, Li Daoxian and Noah, and slowly landed on their shoulders.
Then, the surrounding translucent snakes gathered around the flames and then sank into them.
The flame suddenly swelled, and then slowly shrank, except for a few thin lines that appeared in the center of the flame, which were clearly the shape of a snake that had just entered.
Melissa looked at Li Daoxian and nodded slightly, then said to Noah: "As long as these soul fires are not extinguished, the rest of us will not be able to discover our abnormality."
Li Daoxian waved his hand, and black tentacles wrapped around the corpse on the ground and then sank into the ground.
He tapped the flame on his shoulder with his finger, then said, "The nearest enemy is at three o'clock. What are you going to do next?"
Noah didn't hesitate: "Of course I cleared it all the way."
Then Noah took the lead, blocking, counting, searching bags, and continued forward.
One stronghold after another was cleared out, and we became more and more proficient at this process.
After a while, Damian also discovered the problem.
The condition of my subordinates is normal and their vital activities are still going on, but they have not reported in a long time.
Something is wrong. Something must have gone wrong.
So the confirmation call began.
As a result, half of the information is not fed back.
Damian immediately summoned everyone: "Gather nearby."
The people originally deployed were relatively scattered in order to be able to find the traces faster and encircle them. Now they have not obtained any information and their points are being stolen one by one by the enemy. It is a bit too hurtful.
Since there is no way to find them, we can only try our best to avoid casualties.
On the other side, Noah and others, who had just finished searching the spot and were "making full use" of the wizards in ambush, also sensed through the candles on their shoulders that the enemy had discovered something unusual.
But now they have sufficient supplies, and their stealth operation has been very successful. They have killed more than half of the people, and they should have a chance to kill the remaining half.
