Chapter 542: 175. Group ridicule

Inside the Magic Octagon Cage.

Noland Lee casts his spell ray into the dense white mist.

He deliberately controls the power of the ray, using the least amount of energy consumption to gain skill experience.

The fine rays have not caused any damage to the witch hidden in the mist.

Once the energy leaves his body, Noland can sense energy changes through his Spirit. He clearly detects that after the Death Ray penetrates the mist, it advances about ten centimeters before disappearing.

System feedback battle record shows that “Death Two Finger” was blocked by a water spell barrier called “Resist Fog”.

Without specifically deconstructing “Resist Fog,” Noland suddenly recalls the knowledge he read in “Shield Tactical Camouflage”.

The four-ring combat witch in front of him is quite skilled in the “Magic Shield School”.

“Resist Fog” is a kind of spell mist that can resist energy damage and prevent enemies from entering. It can be regarded as a magic shield with a mist appearance.

Its lower-level spell is “Mist Shield” – a shield spell that automatically emits fog to confuse the enemy’s vision when attacked.

Noland maintains his casting gesture, continuously shooting Death Rays, quietly waiting for the opponent’s counterattack.

A witch with the strength of four-rings must have experienced many battles. Even if she recognizes the “Death Finger”, she will not give up the chance of winning.

Noland is well aware of this.

“Hiss hiss hiss…” More than a dozen white mist columns emerge from the fog to splash in all directions.

Many tiny, transparent water droplets appear in the air. They hang still, densely surrounding Noland in three layers.

Noland raises his free left hand, making a pushing gesture outward.

Accompanying his movement, a transparent shield expands outward, stretching from a shield film closely attached to his skin to an oval shield shell.

This shield shell encases Noland’s body, pushing the surrounding floating water droplets away to create an open space of more than one meter in diameter beside him.

This magic control technique of transforming the shield from a film attached to the skin to a duck egg-like shape is also a skill that Noland learned from “Magic Control and Energy Perception”. If he wants, he can also concentrate the shield to protect specific parts of his body.

At the moment Noland pushes away the water droplets around him, the temperature inside the octagon cage plummets. Rolling cold air erupts from the fog covering the witch. In just a few seconds, the tiny water droplets in the air turn into glittering ice crystals.

Noland squints his eyes, with a myriad of knowledge related to “water” and “ice” appearing in his mind, secretly speculating on what kind of spells the opponent would use and how he should respond.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

Slight and dense cracking sounds come from within the ice crystals. Tiny cracks spread on the ice; the crystals shake violently, as if a force inside them is about to burst out.

Oh, I understand now, it’s “Ice Crystal Explosion”, an ice-style range spell that ignites ice crystals from the inside, creating a plethora of ice stings dealing both physical and frost damage.

Noland instantly identifies the spell that the opponent is about to cast.

He has an idea and sketches a different shield spell blueprint in his mind.

The originally transparent magic shield turns dark in 0.1 seconds. Dense Undead Runes float on the surface of the shield like tadpoles.

This is the “Undead Shield”!

Noland combines the Undead Runes with the “Magic Shield”, creating a shield spell based on the principles of “Shield Efficiency Theory”.

Well, it’s not entirely original. He borrowed some ideas from the Undead Cult’s Magic Protective Cover.

In any case, with the blessing of the Undead Runes, the kinetic damage resistance of the “Undead Shield” is 99%, while the thermal, electromagnetic, and frost damage resistance is 95%. This is enough to handle the upcoming “Ice Crystal Explosion”.

At the same time as the shield switch is completed, a large number of ice crystals in the air explode like firecrackers!

“Crackle!”

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh~”

Countless sharp ice stings shuttle through the high-pressure airflow formed by the explosion, chaotically flying around in the narrow octagon cage.

The Enchanted Fence Net protecting the spectator stand makes a clanging noise, suddenly growing many small ice stings embedded into the metal net. Even separated by the Enchanted Fence Net, the audience still has the illusion of being in a rain of bullets.

Noland maintains his composure in the midst of the explosion and ice stings’ attack.

The icy, extremely lethal ice stings are all blocked by the thick “Undead Shield”. Even the ice shards shattered by the ice stings hitting the shield do not touch Noland’s body.

This isn’t going to work.

If the ice stings cannot pierce the shield, Noland will not be injured, and the Passive Deconstruction won’t be triggered.

Men should be proactive.

Noland directly extends his left hand out of the shield shell, letting the razor-sharp ice stings brush past his palm.

Like piranhas smelling blood, the ice stings pounce on Noland’s palm.

His palm is riddled with holes, splashing bone dust. A large piece of his fingers is noticeably missing, and the palm has some holes. The dense icy-blue frost energy quickly spreads over his left hand, and a hard ice shell appears wherever it passes.

Noland withdraws his left hand and wipes off the frost energy on his fingers with the shield shell. The ice shell freezing his palm is soon rubbed away under the friction of the shield shell.

He takes a quick glance at the battle record. Good. The few hits on his left hand just now have increased the degree of deconstruction by 5.3%.
