Next spell on the list: Gamma Ray Burst! Suck on that, next Needlewood!
..
No good either, huh? And here I was, expecting some cool-looking beam attack to obliterate that Needlewood to smithereens. Oh, well, on to the next one.
Extreme Drop Dead!
Oh, come the fuck on! The name suggests that it should be one of those instant-death spells, the ones that kill you on the spot no matter how much HP you have, so this Needlewood should be dead! And yet it is not! Hes just standing there as if it was the most obvious thing in the world! You know, Im slowly starting to feel like even though I have access to Bonus Spells I cant actually use them. Heres to me being wrong about that.
*Sighhh* NEXT!
.. Yup, steering clear of that.
The next spell on the list was called Suicide Bomb Attack. Well, technically I guess it could be classified as an Attack Magic that would surely obliterate my enemies if I were to use it, but you see, the problem here is that I would end up blown up as well, and as you can probably guess thats something that I would rather not do to myself (TL Note: Hmm, I swear to God, there is a terrorist joke somewhere in here but I cant seem to find it ah well). But wait, since this is technically a game, then wouldnt that mean that even if I were to blow myself up in a suicide attack, I would still live through it, but with like, 1 HP point left or something? Anyway, the only time when using a spell like that would be somewhat justified would be the encounter with the Last Boss, where defeating the BBEG (TL Note: Big Bad Evil Guy, courtesy of D&D) would end everything and restored piece to the world, and even then I would have used it as an absolutely last resort measure if my sword was broken beyond repair and all other measures have failed. Until that day comes, itd be best to forget that such a spell even exists.
Now then, lets just keep scrolling down and see what else we have here oh, this one looks promising: Equivalent Exchange. The name itself doesnt suggest it, but this must be an Attack Magic as well. If my understanding of this spell is correct, it is a spell that reduces the casters HP, but at the same time does the same to the enemy. I guess it can be classified as a suicide magic as well, albeit not as dangerous as the Suicide Bomb Attack. On top of that, I think that it is best to use it in one particular case: when your maximum HP value is higher than your opponents maximum HP. Basically, the user and the receiver have their HP drained until one of them drops dead. It might sound needlessly dangerous, but in reality it is a very simple and straightforward mechanic: as long as you have more HP than the person or monster you are using it on, you will survive.
Yeah, I can definitely picture myself using this.
Of course, this spell also has a few downsides. First things first, I dont know if it works only on a single target, or if it can be used against multiple enemies at once, unlike with the Suicide Bomb Attack, where it is painfully obvious that a bomb-like explosion is going to be effective in a pretty broad radius.
Yes, that is correct.
I confirmed the selection of Crystal Acceleration x32 and defeated three more Needlewoods with it, after which I checked my Magic Crystal again. I couldnt stop myself from smiling.
Roxanne, wanna see something cool? Well, Im going to show it to you either way, so just come here and have a look.
Without waiting for her to reply, I took out the Red Magic Crystal from the backpack and showed it to her. Except for the fact that it was no longer red. Right now, it was a Purple Magic Crystal. Thats right, baby! Ramp the respect points that I have lost earlier back with interest!
Defeating three monsters with a x32 multiplier gave me, the end result was ninety six, and since my Crystal was already red from those ten kills from earlier, that gives me a total of one hundred and six, triggering the change of the Red Magic Crystal into Purple Magic Crystal.
Eh? Its already purple?! How did you do it, master?!
Im afraid thats a secret~~
Oh yeah, being looked at with such admiration hits all the right spots for me.
Ah, okay! Master, you truly are amazing!
I am, right? But please, dont stop, praise me some more!
I know that I shouldnt keep using that same old excuse of secrecy every time I do something outstanding, but as long as Roxanne understands and doesnt ask any questions I guess that is fine.
