Chapter 244: Chapter 160: Excellent Level Magic Blizzard
At this distance, the Giant Goblin had no time to adjust the angle of its attack. Lin Mo easily dodged the blow, and in the next moment, three consecutive streams of Sword Qi flew toward its face.
The Giant Goblin raised its hand to block, but it was half a beat too slow. It only managed to stop the last stream of Sword Qi, while the first two left bloody gashes on its face.
’It really is a bit tough...’
’If its Strength is roughly at Level 5, then its Constitution, while not quite reaching Level 5, is probably around the Level 3.5 to 4 mark.’
’Tanks and Magic Assassins... these two types of enemies are arguably the hardest to deal with.’
Despite being injured, the Giant Goblin acted as if it were completely unharmed and continued its fierce assault on Lin Mo.
Lin Mo frowned slightly, forced to once again use his speed advantage to create distance.
Although he had just reached Level 4 Warrior and his Attributes had received a significant boost, his Strength only came close to his opponent’s; there was still a gap.
There was also no need for him to clash head-on with it. Lin Mo’s total Agility was 40 Points, and with the [Lightness] Skill, he was on par with a Level 3.5 Assassin. In this respect, he had a significant advantage over the Giant Goblin.
He therefore easily dodged the opponent’s attack again. This time, instead of making a hasty counterattack, he took a step back, and his entire figure suddenly vanished.
The Giant Goblin froze for a second. In that single second, a Blood-colored Air Blade had already shot in from its rear flank, closing in on its neck in an instant!
In the nick of time, an invisible Barrier suddenly appeared on its body. The Blood-colored Air Blade made contact with the Barrier, causing ripples to spread across its surface.
Although it was only a 0.5-second delay, it still negated a good deal of the [Blood Qi Blade]’s power and gave the Giant Goblin time to react, allowing it to avoid a fatal blow.
The Barrier shattered. The air blade continued onward, but it only landed on the Giant Goblin’s shoulder, leaving behind a mangled, bloody wound.
The damage was still significant. Without the Barrier’s interference, even if it hadn’t hit a vital spot, it would have at least sliced off half its shoulder, greatly diminishing the creature’s Combat Power.
But alas, there were no "what ifs"...
The next moment, a sharp Arrow cut through the air, aimed straight at Lin Mo’s back.
Lin Mo frowned. With the [Rock Shield Technique] in hand, he blocked the Arrow with a backhanded motion.
Although the Arrow was blocked, its power still left a dense web of cracks on the [Rock Shield Technique]. Lin Mo grunted and took half a step back. Fortunately, his Constitution was high enough, and with the effect of [Resilience], he wasn’t affected much.
’Can’t win one-on-one, so now you’re ganging up on me, is that it?’
Lin Mo’s face showed his annoyance, but his actions remained perfectly calm. He quickly retreated to create distance, giving them no opportunity to pursue.
However, with the enemy’s Level 4 Ranger and Mage both focused on Lin Mo, Lute and Landon were freed up.
[Split Arrow]
Lute fired an arrow. It was wreathed in powerful Qi and Blood, which then transformed into numerous smaller arrows of pure Qi and Blood, piercing the vitals of many Goblin Guards.
[Wind Roll Skill]!
Landon also unleashed his signature Magic. The powerful gale was something even Level 2 Goblins couldn’t withstand. They were instantly swept up and torn to shreds.
The tide of battle began to turn.
Lin Mo took it all in. He was in no hurry to attack now, and even had the spare energy to toss out an [Ice Crystal Fall], crushing a swath of Goblins.
[Ice Crystal Fall] Skill Level +68
’Not bad. Let’s do that again!’
[Ice Crystal Fall]!
[Ice Crystal Fall] Skill Level +59
The number of Goblins had clearly dwindled. Their density wasn’t as high as before, so one of Lin Mo’s Magic spells could now only crush five or six of them.
But even so, the efficiency was still high. In two waves, he had earned 127 Skill Level points, enough for the [Ice Crystal Fall] Skill to level up again.
"Skill [Ice Crystal Fall] Level 5 (180/180) has leveled up!"
"Current Skill: [Ice Crystal Fall] Level 6 (Max)"
"Received attribute points: Magic Power +2, Spirit +1"
’Here it comes, here it comes! It’s finally happening!’
Lin Mo’s spirits instantly soared.
[Ice Crystal Fall] was an Excellent Level Skill, and Level 6 was its Full Level. This also meant the Skill would evolve into Lin Mo’s first, true Magic of Excellence!
He had one before, but the [Basic Meditation Skill] couldn’t be used in combat; it was, after all, a utility-type Magic.
’I wonder what it will evolve into?’
Lin Mo stayed vigilant of his surroundings while glancing at the notification that floated up.
"Automatically evolved into a New Skill—Blizzard!"
"You have comprehended the skill [Blizzard]! Magic Power +2, Spirit +1!"
[Blizzard]: Summons a hail-covered area that lasts for 5 seconds. Enemies within the area take continuous damage and are afflicted with the "Ice Cold" effect (slowed, frostbite).
’Blizzard... it sounds pretty powerful.’
’Now that I have a New Skill, there’s no reason not to use it, right?’
Just then, an Arrow flew toward Lin Mo. With a flash, he dodged the Arrow and simultaneously activated [Invisibility], rapidly advancing in the direction it came from.
The Goblin Ranger was extremely cunning, hiding in a dark area beyond the firelight, making it impossible to determine its position.
But Lin Mo didn’t need to know its precise location right now; he only needed to know the general direction.
[Blizzard]!
The Magic Power in his body surged wildly. The speed and Magic Strength shocked even Lin Mo, the Caster. At the same time, he clearly perceived the skill’s circuit composition.
Ordinary Level Magic is composed of two circuits, and Excellent Level Magic has four. But a Magic of Excellence doesn’t have six or eight—it has a full twelve Magic Circuits!
