Using the "Resurrection Spell" to repeatedly kill players and loot their equipment is one of the most despicable tactics in "Dungeons and Dragons":
Not all deaths require a trip to the Resurrection Temple. In fact, as long as a player, such as a priest or druid, can use the "Resurrection Spell" to revive you, you won't have to spend an hour in the Resurrection Temple. Therefore, repeated resurrection has become one of the effective methods for killing and looting equipment.
After all, in "Dungeons and Dragons," equipment does not drop with every kill but has a certain probability.
The warlock took a step back, intending to wait for Alpha to be resurrected and then cast "Fireball Spell" again.
—Although it is a 3rd-level spell, "Fireball Spell" has become a favorite among many casters due to its terrifying damage, which is not inferior to 4th or 5th-level spells.
Of course, the slightly longer casting time significantly reduces the frequency of this spell in PvP battles— even warlocks can't ignore the casting time of "Fireball Spell." In PvP, no one will stand there and let you hit them with a fireball. Such an opportunity to bully low-level players doesn't come around often.
Playing a mage or warlock is all about the pleasure of freely casting spells and the thrill of seeing damage numbers skyrocket. Clearly, this warlock had the same idea.
However, what the warlock didn't expect was that a few seconds after casting "Resurrection Spell" to revive Alpha, Arasaga looked at him in surprise and muttered:
"Yun Da, the target hasn't died!"
The warlock's ID was "Yun Zhi Xin Nai He," which, in a game with a sword and sorcery background, was somewhat out of place.
Hearing this, Yun Zhi Xin Nai He quickly cast "Dasson's Cool Breeze."
A gentle breeze dispersed the thick smoke, and the thin figure that had been on the ground stood up, smiling at Yun Zhi Xin Nai He and said, swaying his head:
"Is this a 4th-level spell? What a waste! Yun Zhi Xin Nai He? You're about to become famous."
"Damn!"
Being despised by a mere 10th-level mage, and one known as a "waste," Yun Zhi Xin Nai He couldn't keep his composure. He cursed and began to cast "Fireball Spell."
Though this strange mage had withstood a 452-point damage "Darama's Lightning Javelin," he was still just a 10th-level mage. Even if he had equipment to absorb magical damage, a "Fireball Spell" that deals over 300 points of fire damage would be enough to kill him.
At the same time, a faint golden light appeared under Alpha's feet, and he charged at the warlock at a speed that rivaled that of some rangers!!
Of course, Yun Zhi Xin Nai He didn't pay attention to the surprisingly fast speed of this thin mage.
After all, once his "Fireball Spell" was cast, this guy would be dead. Was he rushing in to give him a "Heart Stop" before dying?
—Even though the "Lesser Spell Resistance" on Yun Zhi Xin Nai He couldn't resist a 5th-level "Heart Stop," there was a significant level difference of over 30 levels between this mere 10th-level mage and himself.
The high saving throw bonus from the level difference allowed Yun Zhi Xin Nai He to confidently ignore this instantly lethal spell.
The flaming fireball suddenly exploded, engulfing Alpha as he charged to Yun Zhi Xin Nai He's side. A 377-point damage appeared in Yun Zhi Xin Nai He's combat system.
Yun Zhi Xin Nai He, with a smug smile, completely forgot that he had used two powerful attack spells to kill this 10th-level mage. At this moment, he only thought about whether he could get lucky and drop the magic item with "Heart Stop."
—In just a few minutes, this 10th-level mage had already used "Heart Stop" twice and seemed ready to use it again, meaning it could be used three times in a short period.
Such an excellent magic item made Yun Zhi Xin Nai He's heart race. When a slightly pale hand appeared in his field of vision, he didn't react in time.
Until a familiar voice rang in his ear:
"Heart Stop!!!"
"Damn!"
-457!!!
Yun Zhi Xin Nai He's third "damn" and 457 points of damage appeared on him simultaneously.
The 42nd-level warlock, who had only managed to say "damn" three times since his appearance, not only failed to kill a 10th-level mage but was also hit with 457 points of damage by the mage.
—Yun Zhi Xin Nai He, with an initial Constitution of 14 points, plus the life value bonus of one-fourth per level and the life value added by four exceptional pieces of equipment, had a total life value of only about 390 points.
457 points of damage was enough to drain his last bit of life.
In shock and anger, the other "League of Heroes" players finished off Alpha with their attacks. Even with over 400 life points, Alpha couldn't survive the attacks of over a dozen players above level 40.
As for why Alpha could withstand two high-damage spells from Yun Zhi Xin Nai He and remain unharmed,
It was actually quite simple: "Internal Energy Shield"!!!
As long as Alpha had internal energy, he wasn't afraid of being hit. Although this consumed a lot of internal energy, Alpha had taken a few seconds to meditate while using the smoke from "Darama's Lightning Javelin" as cover. The 2000% internal energy recovery speed during meditation allowed Alpha to recover a significant amount of internal energy.
Naturally, he had enough internal energy to negate the damage and kill the enemy.
"Okay, come in!"
The moment he was killed, Alpha sent a message to Lancelot, who had been waiting at the entrance of the Pale Canyon. Now everyone was red-named, and the foolish Rolling Youth had given him an arrow, putting him in a position of self-defense. Killing him would involve everyone, and they could all be detected as evil targets by "Detect Evil."
However, these "League of Heroes" players were unaware that a large group of paladins was approaching. Yun Zhi Xin Nai He, who had just been resurrected by Arasaga, still looked embarrassed.
—After all, it was somewhat embarrassing for a 40th-level warlock to be killed by a 10th-level mage.
Thinking of this, a flash of anger appeared in Yun Zhi Xin Nai He's eyes, and a glow of electricity appeared in his hand, which was the "Darama's Lightning Javelin" he had used earlier.
At this moment, another priest had completed the "Resurrection Spell" on Alpha, and a milky white holy light began to bloom around Alpha's corpse. Yun Zhi Xin Nai He gritted his teeth:
"This time, I can't be careless."
Thinking of this, Yun Zhi Xin Nai He changed the "Darama's Lightning Javelin" he was preparing to "Rebound Spell," a 4th-level spell that could reflect the target's spell. The maximum reflection level was 6th, including "Heart Stop."
As long as this 10th-level mage dared to use "Heart Stop," this one-hit kill spell would surely be reflected back to himself.
A 30-level difference still required the use of "Rebound Spell" to protect himself, and Yun Zhi Xin Nai He couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
But thinking about the ability to cast "Heart Stop" three times in 20 minutes and some attribute that could ignore level-based saving throws, Yun Zhi Xin Nai He felt more at ease.
After resurrection, Alpha stood in front of Yun Zhi Xin Nai He again. Alpha checked his attributes:
His health was only 25%, a fixed value when the "Resurrection Spell" level is not high, and both health and mana were restored to 1/4.
But Alpha noticed that his internal energy was full at 130 points, indicating that internal energy was not affected by the 25% recovery rate of the "Resurrection Spell."
Alpha came back to life, and the "League of Heroes" players didn't move. Clearly, Yun Zhi Xin Nai He, who had just suffered a significant loss, wanted to wash away the humiliation himself—
—by casting "Rebound Spell" on himself.
This time, Alpha didn't move but continued to smile at Yun Zhi Xin Nai He, allowing him to start the incantation of "Fireball Spell."
Before casting "Fireball Spell," Yun Zhi Xin Nai He recited a short incantation, and his hands were immediately enveloped in a pale blue light. Alpha, a novice in the game, didn't know the significance of this pale blue light, but the others did. Yun Zhi Xin Nai He was angry and using the "Metamagic Specialization" version of "Fireball Spell."
"Metamagic Specialization" is a specialization that mages and warlocks can learn after level 30.
By using a specific incantation prefix, usually a short phrase in ancient Netherese, to enhance a particular spell, it can gain additional effects, such as increased damage or extended duration and effects. Of course, as a trade-off, the corresponding spell cost will also increase.
For example, Yun Zhi Xin Nai He used "Metamagic Specialization - Spell Power," which, at the cost of triple mana, doubled the damage of "Fireball Spell."
Since spells enhanced by "Metamagic Specialization" increase by one level but cannot exceed the maximum spell level the caster can use, Yun Zhi Xin Nai He could only use "Fireball Spell" and not the stronger "Darama's Lightning Javelin."
Using the strongest spell to kill Alpha showed how much resentment Yun Zhi Xin Nai He had toward him.
In fact, if not for the complicated conditions of using "Corruption Swelling," a necromancy spell that attacks from within the enemy's body, which requires pre-seeding with "Corruption Swelling" and is not suitable for leveling, Yun Zhi Xin Nai He would not have hesitated to waste a spell learning opportunity.
—To use this spell, which is second only to "Visceral Stomp" in pain, against Alpha.
However, just as Yun Zhi Xin Nai He was halfway through the incantation of "Fireball Spell" and a translucent flame appeared in his hand, a sudden red glow burst from his body.
"Detect Evil"!!!
