Chapter 828: Chapter 828: The Formidable Thunder Warrior
Next, it took Zhao Guang a whole two days to complete the transformation of everyone.
Each person just needed to adapt after the direct engraving; in fact, the engraving time wasn’t much, since these were already confirmed patterns, and only a slight adjustment was needed for each individual.
However, the real time-consuming part was Zhao Guang’s own Magic Power regeneration.
Each Magic Pattern engraving consumed Magic Power equivalent to an Advanced Spell.
And this Magic Power couldn’t be replaced by the surrounding elements. It was as if Zhao Guang had cast over a thousand Advanced Spells continuously for two days. Even an ordinary Great Mage couldn’t achieve this level without being completely drained.
Even for Zhao Guang, it was still exhausting after two consecutive days.
However, after two days, those who were the first to complete the process, some of them with good talent had already adapted to it.
“Very good, next use Lightning to stimulate and strengthen your bodies. Once your bodies become stronger, you will naturally be able to unlock the second and third layers of the Magic Patterns, and then your strength will continue to increase.”
The most important thing for Thunder Warriors is the strength of their bodies, and there isn’t much demand on their spirits.
However, during the process of using Lightning to stimulate the body, it would cause pain, which was also training for the spirit. As their physical quality improved, their mental will would also naturally elevate.
“Very good, next we’re going to test them, let those practicing Combat Energy come over, you guys can fight a few rounds.”
This action was so significant that it naturally couldn’t escape the notice of other interested parties.
Upon hearing that Zhao Guang was going to conduct new troop tests, it immediately attracted many people. Not just their own people, but even Elves and Beastmen were the same. The ones who came to observe the training of flying troops earlier also gathered over.
The large Martial Arts Arena was crowded to the brim, all to watch the battles of a few Junior Warriors.
“Look, what is that, is it Magic?” Someone suddenly exclaimed.
Because one of the two fighting in the front suddenly got enveloped in dense Lightning, making him look like a monster made of Thunder from afar.
This kind of enemy, who seemed impossible to tackle, caused a headache for the opponent.
The long sword in his hand was iron, if he just hacked at it, wouldn’t he get electrocuted?
There was no choice but to use his own Combat Energy to protect himself, and then battle the opponent. But he soon found that the opponent was not only terrifyingly strong but also much faster than him.
“That looks like a Spell, is it a Magician?”
“No, I heard that this new troop is called the Thunder Warrior, a Magic Martial Soldier Species developed by Duke Xuanwu.”
The discussion below started, as the performance of these Magic Knights was indeed very strong.
They had just been enhanced, yet after adapting, they turned out to be much stronger than the Junior Warriors on the opposite side. The most crucial thing was, this look enveloped in Lightning was really too restraining for warriors.
Zhao Guang was very pleased with this performance, as it met his expectations.
“Master, are these Thunder Warriors, are those Spells or Battle Skills?”
“Consider it a spell type of Lifebound Battle Skill, though they themselves can’t condense Lifebound Battle Skills, these are engraved in during the engraving of the Magic Patterns.”
Indeed, these things similar to Lifebound Battle Skills could each level of Magic Pattern carry.
Of course, it could only be one; if you used others, you couldn’t use this.”
As for other means, they still could only use Battle Skills. Zhao Guang hadn’t yet tailored special Battle Skills for their characteristics. This current Battle Skill was called Thunder Armor.
The inspiration came from a certain anime. As the level of Magic Pattern activation increased, the power of Thunder Armor would also boost.
One should know, low-level warriors on the battlefield were most worried about their own insufficient defense, easily becoming cannon fodder.
Thunder Armor itself had decent defensive capabilities and came with the natural counterattack of Lightning, especially since their weapons were basically metal. In this situation, it could greatly enhance their survivability.
At the same time, under the stimulation of Thunder Armor, it could enhance their strength and speed to an extent.
The second Battle Skill was Thunderbolt Slash, and the ability of this Magic Rune Battle Skill was offense.
Instantly increase one’s speed, then slash, and with proficiency, even condense Lightning into a Thunder Blade for direct long-range attacks. This made it equivalent to mid-level warriors having long-range means of attack ahead of time.
This provided a great advantage among warriors.
Imagine if during a group charge they collectively used Thunderbolt Slash, how much of a blow would it be to the enemy’s morale?
The third Battle Skill wasn’t as obvious, called Internal Electric Current.
It formed a strong electric current stimulation within the body, greatly enhancing one’s own strength and speed, but it did consume one’s strength quickly. With the training, Thunder Warriors would also accumulate a Lightning Attribute similar to a Magic Power within them.
This power was somewhat similar to Elemental Archers but not exactly the same.
To be precise, it bore a great similarity to the special Magic Power within Magic Beasts.
As for higher levels, Zhao Guang hadn’t figured those out yet, but this was already pretty good.
In just a short time, the surroundings were filled with discussions, for the battle had ended, and the one using Combat Energy had his weapon knocked away, looking helplessly at the panting opponent.
“It seems the endurance isn’t strong enough yet, but that’s because they’re just beginning to train and aren’t well-adapted. According to my original calculations, the endurance would surely not be a weak point with Lightning Stimulating physical stamina endlessly growing.”
Indeed, as long as Thunder Warriors continued training, endurance would instead be a strong point.
“Saying this, isn’t this troop a perfect one then?” Xi Fei looked astonished.
“Perhaps on the battlefield, it’s perfect, but there are still major shortcomings. The biggest flaw is their shortened lifespan.” Zhao Guang, however, did not hide this.
“In the end, Lightning is such a violent power, and it doesn’t completely belong to them, leaving a big hidden danger. The stronger one practices Combat Energy, the longer they live, but not for them.”
Zhao Guang shook his head, based on his previous experiments with clones, with normal training, if they could live past eighty, that would be good, and this was after he improved the training methods.
If they recklessly pushed themselves and practiced desperately, then even this lifespan limit would further decline.
