Night Crow Master

Looking at Athias who was planning to continue to say something, Yate quickly said, "Athias, I'm currently trying the Psionic Addition Technique of Battle Wizards. Can you practice it with me?"

Athias was taken aback, stood up with the resentful eyes that made Yate a little hairy, and complained: "Okay, okay, Yate, you are obviously a wizard, why are you more keen on fighting instead of exploring? truth?"

"The increase in strength allows me to stand higher and see the world more clearly, can't it?" Yate shrugged his shoulders in a leisurely tone, "The eyes of an earl can always see more than a baron. far."

Hearing these words, Athias's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, yes! You are right! Come on! Yate, you really thought about it!"

"...You probably still believe in any balance, do you?"

"Equilibrium? Is the theory of equilibrium put forward by Archduke Flormasen? I have reservations about his views..."

"Nothing." Seeing Athias's eyes lit up again, Yate interrupted hurriedly, "Follow me to practice in the basement."

"Oh."

...

In the basement, Yate and Athias stood face to face. Yate was holding a black iron cane—he seemed to like this kind of blunt tool that could be used for force and practicality. For this reason, he even went to the city The few thieves left "borrowed" some money, and the blacksmith in the city made several pieces for him.

One of the canes is a bit special. One side of the "T"-shaped handle is cut into a sharp edge-it looks like a sickle.

On the opposite side, Athias was holding a long sword with slightly golden patterns.

This philosophical paladin gently waved the long sword in his hand, and a holy golden light passed:

"Speaking of which, the paladin is very different from the battle wizard."

He looked at Yate and continued: "Holy light is very suitable for attaching to objects. It can be attached directly without any means, but the psychic energy is different. If I remember correctly, the battle wizard uses a method similar to enchanting. Come to make psionics attach to objects and fight?"

"Yes." Yatong nodded, this kind of thing is not a secret, and then he raised his cane slightly.

The gloomy spirit can emerge on the cane in a spiral shape, making the whole cane look darker and darker.

[Lunshad’s Psionic Attachment lv1: Attach Psionic Energy to the item, causing extra dark attribute damage, increasing by up to 30%. ——Alchemy has created war wizards, but they still cannot become mainstream. 】

To be honest, 9 skill points are worth and worth. After all, part of his strength is about close combat. These combat experience and skill use should be worth more than 15 skill points, which is not worth it, because He only has 13 skill points left.

Looking at Yate's cane, Athias also became interested: "Although I have heard of the Battle Wizard, I have never seen it."

As soon as the voice fell, he lifted the sword, wrapped in pale golden light, his speed suddenly increased, and his figure flashed, and the sword slashed towards Yate.

Yate, who had been prepared for a long time, had a slight side of his body, grasping the lower end of the cane with his hand, and swiping his arm diagonally.

clang!

The black iron cane hit the side of the long sword, and the dark psychic energy fought with the power of the holy light. The obviously stronger holy light immediately overwhelmed the psychic energy, but this did not change the result.

The long sword was smashed by a blow, and Athias separated his feet and held it back, and the long sword slashed back at Yate.

clang!

The long sword blade slashed the stick, and the power of the holy light broke through the dark spiritual energy on the stick, leaving a white trace.

The paladins' physical exercises are almost the same as those of non-superior professionals, and Yate's physical strength is not as good as that of adults. The powerful force almost knocked Yate's cane into the air.

Yate squeezed the cane tightly so that it wouldn't break free, but there was a slight pain in his fingers.

Seeing the advantage, Athias's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, but when he was about to take advantage of the situation, he saw an imaginary black snake emerge from the stick of the black cane, and opened its mouth to face him. Pounced.

I don’t know why, when he saw the black snake, Alan’s heart tightened, as if his heart was tightened, but he did not panic, and Allen blurted out fluently:

"Holy Shield!"

Bang--

With a soft sound, the holy light attached to his body instantly bulged and deformed, and the holy light condensed to form a thin shield on his face.

However, when the Divine Shield was formed, the illusory black was instantly shattered, and the uncomfortable feeling disappeared instantly.

And the other party's reaction made Yate laugh, and an illusory black snake emerged from the palm of his hand holding the cane. The whole body was pitch black and there was no trace. It bit at the palm of Athias holding the long sword. Past.

Although Athias made an evasive action, he still failed to avoid the black snake's pounce. A sharp pain suddenly struck, and penetrated into his palm along the back of his hand.

Dispel technique!

This spreading pain caused Athias's actions to be a halt, and then, Athias subconsciously used a dispersal technique.

The corrosive dark spirit can be driven away by the holy light, but...

Athias looked at the black iron cane that was less than two fists away from him. The faint black psychic energy on it had penetrated the defense of the Holy Shield. He sighed: "Okay, okay, I lost."

Hearing the answer, Yate retracted his cane, the corners of his mouth cocked slightly.

Use the shadow fear to imitate the shape of the eroding shadow, make an attacking posture, interfere with the judgment to make the opponent use defense, and then use the eroding shadow.

He had known for a long time that only the lv1 psionic skill was not as good as the power of the Holy Light practiced by a middle-ranked Paladin. Of course, he didn't intend to fight hard, and he couldn't beat the Paladin in front of him.

However, although few, but the psionic add-on technique also gave him the ability to fight frontal.

Plus the crows...

Although both of them have many methods that are useless, Yate can be sure that if he is in a life-and-death battle with Athias, then the price he pays is between light and serious injuries, and Athias Will definitely die.

He straightened the crooked top hat with his right hand, and Yate's cane slammed on the ground.

Outside the basement, all the crow servants raised their heads at the same time, and their slightly red eyes in the pitch black looked around.

After getting rid of the psychic energy that corroded the black shadow spell, the philosophical paladin rubbed the back of the hand that was attacked by the corroded black shadow: "This is incredible. A spellcaster is so good at close combat."

Yate just shrugged his shoulders and repeated the words that Mercury Duke said after he learned that he wanted to learn psionics: "This is the rule of wizards. A wizard who wants to use melee combat is a fool. A wizard who can't fight melee is a waste."

With both hands on the cane, Yate smiled and said, "I don't think I'm a fool, and I don't want to be a waste."

Although he is familiar with melee combat, it is impossible for him to give up the advantages of having the crow mage and the night wizard just because of learning psionics.

"At this point, you wizards understand it very well." Athias sighed, "Sometimes I ask those priests to exercise their physical and defense skills with me, but they are not willing to use "We are close to the Holy Light." The ways are not exactly the same.’ It’s stupid to escape with such a reason."

As soon as the fighting stopped, Athias, who had the stubborn attributes, began to criticize the Red Rose Collar again and again. No, the priest of the Holy Light in New Rose City even brought the Tusster of Orange with him.

Yate shook his head helplessly.

However, at this moment, the other party suddenly changed the subject: "Yat, why do I feel that your spells seem to be restrained in some way?"

Athias's sentence was intermittent, with a feeling of confusion.

"Is this?" Yate was taken aback, and then replied, "My meditation ideas are more unique, and they become stronger in the dark."

Although the relationship between the two is quite good, it is not to the point that Yate reveals his secrets. What he said only said that he became stronger in the dark, and did not say that he would become weaker in the day.

"Really?" Athias was stunned, then responded with a smile, "You are really honest, you even told me this."

"..." Looking at Athias's smile, Yate suddenly realized that Athias's smile became more...more sincere?

Without waiting for Yate to say anything, Athias continued: "Yate, do you know about the cultists?"

Yate was taken aback: "Cultist?"

"Yes." Seeing Yate's expression, Athias also understood that the other party did not know the news. He nodded and inserted the long sword back into the scabbard, a milky white light surged in his hand. It seems to be a healing technique or something.

While healed himself, he explained: “A mercenary met someone who seemed to be a demon priest while passing by a hunter’s village. Because there was only one person, he did not dare to solve it alone, just before the banquet. One day, I brought the news to the Mercenary Guild, and the Mercenary Guild also notified us and Viscount Red Rose."

Athias scratched his head, with an awkward smile: "Originally, I planned to go to the village after the Viscount's banquet, but I didn't expect such a big event. The church was busy sending out messages to the dioceses in the morning. Only two priests were sent there. I will also leave this afternoon to meet with them..."

Then call me by the way?

Yate’s expression remained unchanged, but he slandered in his heart, but he did not choose to refuse. Although there are disputes of interest between the nobles representing the wizarding community and the Holy See, most of the time they cooperate, especially In things like demons, demons, and dead spirits.

If it was before the Viscount's banquet, he might refuse, now...

Yate thought for ten seconds and nodded: "Yes, but I need to prepare, and I have to return to Rose City within two days."

The Duke of Mercury has said that her daughter Elti will arrive in about two days. When the other party comes to Rose City, they need to visit the Duke of Rose and Duke of Mercury in the Giant Rose Tree for at least one day.

Then he needs to return to Rose City within three days.

"No problem." Seeing Yate's promise, Athias also laughed. "The village is not far away. Fangston and the others went four hours ago. They will be there about this time. If we go in the afternoon, it will be in the evening. Can reach."

In other words, it only takes less than a day to go back and forth.
