Chapter 158: New Understanding of Temporary Spell Slots, Spell Iaijutsu
However, it is not an offensive level 0 spell.
Rather, it is a level 0 spell that is either controlling or a negative status effect.
The purpose of this spell is to interfere with the enemy's mental energy, causing it to fluctuate—just like throwing a boulder into a small pond.
Of course, even if it wasn't an offensive level 0 spell, it still had some offensive effect.
Just like a boulder thrown into a pond, it may not necessarily kill the fish and shrimp in the pond, but it can stir up a lot of trouble.
Even predators in the pond would find it difficult to survive in the chaotic surging waves.
Just then, after being caught off guard by the blow, the pain from the twisting of his internal organs and the dizziness caused by the shock to his mental energy made it difficult for him to concentrate.
Originally, when the wizard Anselo sensed Loon's presence and used his mental power to "lock" Loon onto him, Loon also used his mental power to lock onto the wizard Anselo.
But after being suddenly struck like that, Anselor's presence was 'disappeared' from Loon's perception.
Even later, when Loon endured the excruciating pain and forcibly concentrated his mind to unleash his spiritual power... there was no trace of the wizard Anselo in the unleashed spiritual energy field.
This is a technique that utilizes mental power.
It is called "Spiritual Vision Synchronization".
In fact, everything has its own unique "frequency," whether it's an inanimate object or a living one.
Wizards use their mental power to observe the world, which is essentially using their mental power to sense the 'frequency' of various things, just like how Loen used radar or X-rays to identify objects in his previous life.
Wizards can use their mental power to sense the frequencies of other things, and they can also use their mental power to "wrap" themselves in camouflage, making their frequency consistent with that of other things. This makes them appear to other wizards not as a wizard, but as tables, chairs, flower pots, etc.
Previously, when Loon was with the Scarlet Wizard, they would sometimes play this little game of locking onto each other with their mental energy and then breaking free from the lock.
If a wizard is constantly being targeted and tracked by another wizard's mental energy, then even if he changes his mental frequency, he will be easily discovered.
However, if one breaks free from the mental lock of another wizard first, and then changes the frequency of one's mental energy, then it becomes much easier to avoid the mental lock of another wizard.
Just like now, after the wizard Anselo cast a spell on Loon, freeing himself from Loon's mental lock, although Loon could still be sure that the wizard Anselo was in this glass room and not far from where he had been before—he could use his mental power to find out his exact location.
Of course, at this moment, Loen also truly realized just how "skilled" the Silver Ash School wizard was in combat, as the Crimson Wizard had said.
It was clearly a situation where they were the ones who "ambushed" the other side.
When I arrived, my target, the wizard Anselo, was still immersed in his erotic escapades, seemingly completely unaware of the changes happening outside.
However, it was only because she accidentally became too emotional that she revealed her presence and alerted him.
He assessed the situation in an instant and responded correctly.
The balance of power shifted in that instant.
Loon was certain that the spell used by the wizard Anselo earlier must have been a spell from that temporary spell slot, or even a fixed spell from that fixed spell slot.
This also gave Loon a completely new understanding of how to use spells in temporary spell slots.
At the beginning, Loon's understanding of the spells in the temporary spell slots was that they were "trump cards," hidden means—means to turn the tide of a battle at a critical moment.
If it's not necessary to use it, then don't use it.
Not to mention using it lightly.
However, during this battle, Loon suddenly discovered that these temporary spell slots could actually be used to gain the upper hand in battle and to strike first—just like the 'spell Iaijutsu'.
Even if this spell cannot kill the opponent directly, as long as it injures them, it will give you a huge advantage in the subsequent battle!
"Using temporary spell slots as 'wizard's Iaijutsu'... could this be the proper way to use temporary spell slots?"
Luo Ang's eye twitched.
If we follow this line of thought, the logic for determining temporary spells will be completely changed.
Following this line of thought, a wizarding apprentice with the potential to become a first-level wizard can have a maximum of four temporary spell slots. If all four temporary spell slots are filled with offensive spells, then if these four offensive spells are unleashed in one go, even if the opponent is prepared and the power of these spells cannot be fully displayed, as long as they hit, no matter what kind of enemy it is, they will be completely dead.
Such a wizard apprentice is definitely the king of the apprentice stage!
This is pure, 'horror' built up through numbers.
But in an instant, Loen realized that this pursuit of combat power, and his understanding and practice of the temporary spell slot 'Wizard Iaijutsu', was definitely a wrong choice!
Wizard apprentices with four temporary spell slots are all "advanced apprentices" with the potential to become true first-level wizards. What they pursue is not to "dominate" at the wizard apprentice level, but to become first-level wizards and become true wizards.
Even more so, upon becoming a true wizard, one can cause their inherent spells to undergo a "leap," transforming them into a first-level innate spell.
Therefore, when these promising wizard apprentices choose temporary spells, what they pursue is not simply combat power, but a system centered on their own fixed spells with the goal of becoming a first-level wizard.
—Of course, this is the choice of those wizarding apprentices who have a choice, that is, the choice of those wizarding apprentices from those schools.
As for those wild wizards, they might not even have enough to fill four temporary spell slots, so they'll just choose whatever's available.
From this perspective, wizards from established schools of thought have a natural advantage over wild wizards.
Amidst these various thoughts, Luo Ang also devised a response to the current situation.
He endured the excruciating pain in his internal organs, channeled his spiritual power to draw upon his life force, and transformed it into immense strength, kicking the glass wall with a powerful slam.
With a whooshing sound, the glass wall opened.
Everything inside the glass bedroom was also displayed before Luo Ang's eyes.
Although at the level of 'mental power,' the wizard Anselo is still in a state of 'invisibility,' his figure is clearly visible to the naked eye.
