Chapter 142 All the Mage Needs is [Control] and [Explosion]
Lilia felt that today was definitely not her lucky day. First, she was asked to run all the way to Winterburg Comprehensive Magic Academy, but Mo Cheng left halfway because of something, leaving her, a freshman who had no specific impression of Winterburg Comprehensive Magic Academy, to complete the enrollment alone.
That would have been fine, at least when she was paying tuition, there was a teacher she had met once who looked after her and kindly reminded her of the things she should pay attention to.
but……
"Aren't I taking part in a potion-making test?" Lilia didn't understand what the scene in front of her meant. "Why are there wolves?!"
She had clearly followed the team in line, so why did she find herself in the snow after entering the tent, with several wolves staring at her?
A mechanical voice without any emotion sounded, "Environmental combat test, location: snow. Hostile creatures: snow wolf. Number: three."
"The test will begin in thirty seconds. Please be ready."
Compared to facing three snow wolves thirty seconds later, the coldness of the snow first found the little girl who was not wearing thick clothes.
The low temperature was taking away Lilia's body temperature, but the cold also made her sober. "Forget about it. Now we have to face the problem in front of us."
The light blue spiritual power covered her whole body, temporarily isolating her from the cold outside and causing her body temperature to rise slightly. But this method could not last long. Since her bloodline awakened, although her spiritual power level had once jumped to the fourth level, Lilia had not been able to use it well.
It was not until she was trained intensively by Mo Cheng that Lilia was able to barely use her mental power at the fourth level.
In the first battle, Lilia faced three snow wolves in a snowy environment. As a person who didn't know any magic and could only use mental power to protect herself, she didn't have much confidence.
Thirty seconds passed in a flash, and as soon as the time was up, three snow wolves pounced on Lilia from three directions.
Left foot, right shoulder, and head!
Subconsciously identifying the attack points of the three snow wolves, Lilia suddenly lunged forward, fell into the cold snow and rolled over to avoid the snow wolves' attack.
But having dodged the first time, the snow wolves didn't care about the failure of the first round of attack. Instead, two wolves came out , one on the left and one on to attack Lillia from both sides, and the remaining one stood there and looked at Lillia quietly.
It is conceivable that if he uses the same move again this time, the snow wolf standing in the same place will rush over and bite his throat to pieces the moment he pounces.
There is no possibility of dodging in the current situation.
Lilia had no choice but to clench her fists. As an apprentice magician who didn't know magic, her mind was recalling the knowledge that could help her deal with the current situation.
"Watch carefully. Adjust the angle of the shield formed by mental power to deflect the external force to the maximum extent."
Mo Cheng knocked the wooden stake with his hand, leaving marks on it like a sharp weapon: "And if you want to attack, then intersect the mental shield at a sharp angle and attach it to the weapon or fist and foot. That way, your attack can have the same effect as a sharp weapon."
"As for what angle can deflect the external force to the greatest extent, you need to think about it yourself. Each attack has a different direction and strength, so naturally each deflection requires adjusting the angle yourself."
"It is too difficult for you to perform precise calculations during a battle. So, follow your instincts and feelings. Precise numerical calculations are calculations, and fuzzy chaotic algorithms are also calculations."
Lilia took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and several light blue mental shields appeared on several vital parts of her body. The seemingly fragile mental shields constantly adjusted their angles with Lilia's movements and the snow wolf's reactions, ensuring that the impact force could be deflected at any time.
Although the appearance of the light blue mental shield made the Snow Wolves somewhat confused, they did not feel threatened and ultimately could not suppress their desire to attack.
The snow wolf on the left pounced first. Lilia used her mental shield to deflect the direction of the snow wolf's attack. At the same time, she raised the five fingers of her right hand, and the mental shield intersected at a sharp angle at the fingertips, and gently stretched them under the belly of the snow wolf.
He didn't even need to exert any strength, the inertia of the snow wolf's own pounce was enough to rip it open.
At the same time, several mental shields were formed behind Lilia, supporting her like a wall, so that she would not be knocked to the ground by the kinetic energy of the snow wolf's impact.
The moment the disemboweled snow wolf fell to the ground, it turned into arcane particles and disappeared. At the same time, the remaining two snow wolves became violent, with red eyes and long white breaths coming out of their mouths.
Before she had time to feel the feeling of defeating the first enemy, Lilia bent down slightly and stared at one of the wolves in a posture ready to burst into a sprint at any time. She was not completely ignorant of wolf enemies.
When Mo Cheng was explaining to her the uses and methods of mental shields, the imaginary enemy was the wolf. This might be related to the group of unfriendly alien receptionists when Mo Cheng first arrived on the continent of Kovale.
"The weak spots of most wolf-like creatures are their noses, waists, and almost defenseless bellies."
Lilia whispered the information Mo Cheng had told her, and she was sure that these snow wolves were definitely not ordinary wolves. Her family lived on the border of the Principality of Andair, not far away was the Forest of Hel, and Lilia had seen wolves before, so she was sure that ordinary wolves did not have this IQ.
When one of their companions was killed, most of the wolves would either pounce on the enemy out of stimulation by the blood or turn around and run away.
And the wolf in front of her was cautiously keeping its distance and circling around her, trying to find a flaw...
Even in the mercenary stories her brother had told her, this kind of thing had never appeared.
When a mage who only knows how to use mental shield is approached by two snow wolves, there is no need to think about the consequences.
"You ask what a mage should do if someone approaches him? What else can he do? Just deal with the guy who approaches him."
"Don't always think of a mage as a dank archer hiding in a crack in a rock and throwing fireballs at the maximum range. A mage never needs to care about distance. A mage is one who uses the right spell at the right time."
"The mage profession only needs to do two things well: [Control] and [Burst]."
The two wolves pounced at Lilia at the same time. She did not dodge or evade. She made an advance prediction based on her vague sense and placed several mental shields on the left wolf's path to block it. As for the right wolf, when it reached the highest point and was completely unable to move, she placed a sharp-angled mental shield under its belly.
Phew!
Another snow wolf was ripped open, leaving only one snow wolf firmly imprisoned by the mental shield.
With only the mental shield mastered by the trainee mage, a skill that can't even be called a spell, Lilia perfectly defeated the three enemies: "Is this [Control] and [Burst]?"
