Counterattack

But now Drogo had done it, and he appeared to do it effortlessly. Gleson couldn't help but think to himself, "Is my brother's body made of springs?" Drogo didn't pay attention to the discussions in the audience below.

Only he knew how dangerous that split second was just now. He not only had to be sensitive to the opponent's timing to strike, but also accurately judge the direction of the opponent's attack. More importantly, he needed enough strength and speed to dodge.

All three conditions were indispensable, but even so, there was no guarantee of safety. Like the ice blade just now, it had passed right by Drogo's foot. If he had been a little slower, his feet would have been cut off.

Drogo's spine had quietly become damp, and he was now scared and sweating profusely.

"This is not showing off, it's foolishness! I will never do this again in the future!"

Of course, the onlookers couldn't hear Drogo's inner thoughts. What they saw was Drogo miraculously dodging the red-clothed mysterious person's ice blade, with movements that were both cool and handsome. However, no matter what, they couldn't imagine how Drogo did it!

Speaking of which, Drogo himself was confused as to why his body had become so strong. The only thing he knew was that this change occurred simultaneously with the generation of the magic seed in his body.

He even secretly asked Wynne if all those who received the inheritance of the necromancer would have an exceptionally strong body. But Wynne's answer was definitely not, and she couldn't understand what had happened to Drogo's body.

She could only understand it as Drogo being born with a special physique, and the generation of the magic seed eventually triggered it.

Drogo dodged the ice blade and landed gracefully. Taking advantage of the red-clothed mysterious person's astonishment, he finally seized the opportunity to strike.

"Magic missile!"

Previously used in the level exam, the second-level magic appeared again. Drogo raised his hand and three magic missiles shot out from his fingertips.

Among the basic magic spells, magic missile was the most special one. Unlike other pure attack spells like fireball and ice arrow, whose power increases with the mage's strength, magic missile has another change besides power enhancement, which is quantity.

The stronger the mage's talent and strength, the more magic missiles they can cast. For example, Matthew, a genius, could cast six magic missiles at once when he had just obtained intermediate mage strength. It is generally believed that casting five magic missiles is the limit for an intermediate mage.

When Matthew became a grand mage, he rarely used magic missiles anymore, but if he really cast this spell, he would release twelve magic missiles at once.

Attacking the enemy with twelve magic missiles at the same time? Such an effect can be compared to the Kingdom Army's ace - the Dark Magic Crossbow.

Although Drogo also had the strength of an intermediate mage and even inherited everything from Matthew, he could only cast three magic missiles at once. This is not because Drogo's level is too low, but because his true identity is a necromancer.

Because of the power and horror of necromancy, it has been listed as a taboo and comprehensively suppressed on the Dominic continent. However, no one knows that mages who practice necromancy also need to bear another kind of suppression, a power called divine curse.

Ordinary mages can use the seven series of magic as long as they have enough talent and energy. However, once they have studied light magic, they cannot continue to study dark magic, and vice versa.

Of course, a mage's energy is limited, and few people choose to study all seven series. They choose according to their own talents and preferences.

For example, Gleson's primary focus is on fire magic, with a secondary focus on earth magic. Tyler and Fennimore, on the other hand, specialize in wood magic with a secondary focus on ice magic. For them, being able to use the same level of primary magic also allows them to use the same level of secondary magic.

However, necromancers are different. They seem to be the owners of a kind of magic that the gods detest, and when they use magic from other schools, the highest level they can use must be three levels lower than their own strength.

For example, Matthew was a tenth-level mage before becoming a necromancer, able to use any tenth-level magic except for light magic. But after becoming a necromancer, he lost all of the tenth-level magic he had previously been able to use, except for necromancy.

Whether it's memory or something else, the highest level of magic Matthew can now use in other schools is only seventh level. The gap between seventh and tenth levels is much greater than that between first and fourth levels.

Such a loss can only be described as enormous. Moreover, this kind of suppression seems to come from the world itself, and no necromancer has the ability to resist it. It is called a divine curse.

However, something incredible seemed to happen with Drogo. After receiving Matthew's inheritance, he not only generated a magic seed as expected, but also unexpectedly possessed an incredibly strong physique.

Even more unbelievable was that this suppression, which had never been an exception, was suddenly broken in Drogo's case. Although Drogo could not completely escape the curse of the necromancer, its effects were weakened.

His fifth-level strength should have only allowed him to use second-level magic in his secondary school. However, Drogo was able to use third-level magic instead. Even Wynne couldn't provide a reasonable explanation for this.

As the red-robed mysterious man stood still for a moment after Drogo miraculously evaded his attack, he was awakened by the fluctuations of magic. By then, three streams of colored light had already shot towards him in the form of magic missiles.
