Chapter 55 003: Giant Species
"Roar!" A violent roar exploded in the mountains and forests, the sound like thunder.
An extremely huge monster emerged from the bushes. It was a giant wild boar! It was about three or four meters tall and seven or eight meters long. It stood on the ground like a small house, with two long, curved and sharp fangs that gave off a chilling chill.
Giant wild boar, a low-level magical beast, one of the giant species.
There are many plants and animals in this world that grow abnormally large, such as the giant turtle that can hold up an island and the giant whale as big as a mountain. These behemoths are called giant species, and the giant wild boar in front of you is one of them.
However, compared with its peers, this giant wild boar is obviously too weak. Its size is probably equivalent to the strength of a knight or a great knight.
"This should be the one in the rumors, right?"
Luo Xi clicked his tongue. He really didn't expect it would be such a coincidence that he would actually run into it.
With strange thoughts in his mind, he reached up with his right hand. The space bracelet on his wrist flashed slightly, and the greatsword Glory was caught in his hand out of thin air.
Since I have encountered this opportunity, I might as well take this opportunity to see the results of my training during this period.
Level: Knight.
Attributes: Strength 6.3, Agility 6.8, Constitution 6.2.
Previously, Luo Xi's three measurements had already reached the peak of an apprentice knight. After he learned the Knight's Breathing Method, he was successfully promoted to the Knight level after practicing for a short time. The average of his three measurements almost doubled compared to before.
Nowadays, his attributes have reached six times that of an ordinary adult man. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a little superman.
"It's a good opportunity to try out the actual effect of that spell." Licking the corner of his mouth, Luo Xi raised the Glory Greatsword with great anticipation and got ready for the starting position.
At the same time, the giant wild boar had completely walked out of the bushes. Its huge body brought a strong sense of oppression. The horse tied under the tree was frightened and trembled. After neighing twice, it fainted on the ground with foam at the mouth.
Faced with the prey that was within its reach, it did not even glance at it, but instead fixed its eyes on Luo Xi. The beast's instinct told it that the one in front of it was the one it really needed to deal with.
It panted, lowered its body, rubbed its hooves on the ground twice, then roared and suddenly ran towards Luo Xi.
“Boom!”
The running of such a huge machine was no different from a speeding train of overloaded heavy trucks. All that could be heard was a loud rumbling sound and the entire ground was shaking violently.
Although in danger, Luo Xi did not panic at all. He just held the sword tightly and slashed forward.
“Hoohoo~”
A fierce sound of wind was heard, and a foot-long wind blade appeared out of thin air when Luo Xi swung his sword. It slashed straight towards the giant wild boar in front of it like the sword energy in a martial arts story.
"Puchi!~"
With a crisp sound, a blood mark suddenly appeared on the thick fur of the giant wild boar.
"Ha, it's done!" Luo Xi's eyes lit up.
Ever since he had the idea of combining knightly swordsmanship with magic, Luo Xi went back and found a lot of information, conducted many experiments and a series of research. The spell in front of him is the result of his research, and he named it Sword Wind.
This is a spell that combines wind blade magic with swordsmanship. The principle is to modify the greatsword Glory and incorporate some magical materials into the material to make it a wizard tool that can carry spells.
Then Luo Xi solidified the rune structure of the wind blade technique on it, so that he did not need to recite the spell in actual combat, but only needed to inject magic power into it to activate the wind blade model imprinted on it to trigger the wind blade.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!" After a successful attack, Luo Xi slashed out several swords in succession, releasing several wind blades continuously.
When the giant wild boar rushed in front of him, he jumped up again, and with his nimble body of 6.8 agility coefficient, he easily avoided the charge of the giant wild boar. While dodging, he swung a few wind blades with his backhand.
"It works!" Luo Xi's face lit up with joy.
If it were other apprentices, they would most likely have deployed a magic shield or used other magic to defend or evade attacks. It's not that this is a bad thing, but after all, constantly releasing magic and consuming magic power would increase the burden.
In addition, all magic causes mental stiffness. The same magic cannot be released multiple times in a short period of time. When the defensive magic is broken and the evasive magic has just been used, there will be a defensive vacuum period, which is extremely dangerous for the wizard.
And if his magic sword system can work, then it will be another way for him to protect his life besides magic.
"We still need to think of a way to increase its power."
Luo Xi glanced at the body of the giant wild boar. Although its skin was torn apart by a series of wind blades, they were only superficial injuries. Such an attack intensity could not even break the most basic defensive spells.
"Also the spell cycle needs to be improved."
After only a few swings of the sword, it felt the hilt of the sword begin to heat up, and the runes on the hilt showed signs of collapse.
Just like overheated machinery on Earth needs to be cooled, spell models will cause spell overload if used in a rapid cycle. Therefore, wizards will have mental stiffness to prevent the model from being damaged and hurting themselves. When the model is solidified onto the wizard's tool, once the model is damaged, the wizard's tool will also be damaged.
The battle continues.
After finishing the magical experiment, Luo Xi then tried some force.
The main purpose of receiving swordsmanship training is to brush up time points, but it is undeniable that Luo Xi himself also has some swordsmanship plots in it.
A three-foot-long green sword, traveling around the world.
Growing up watching all kinds of martial arts stories, I always have some expectations for those amazing sword skills and hearty competitions of strength.
Now that I have come to a world where I can possess great power, of course I have to practice.
"clang!"
"clang!"
For a moment, the sound of metal interweaving continued to be heard. Luo Xi, holding a cross sword, quickly moved around the giant wild boar, and the cross sword was opened and closed to attack the giant wild boar again and again.
It's a pity that the gap in strength was too big. After fighting for more than twenty rounds, Luo Xi basically did not cause any substantial damage to the giant wild boar. Instead, he was knocked away and knocked away several times. If it weren't for the defensive magic, he would have died countless times.
After all, this giant wild boar is at the level of a great knight, and its three attribute measurements are at least over thirty points. With Luo Xi's barely knight-level strength, it is far from being able to do so.
After being knocked away again, Luo Xi did not continue to attack him. It was getting late, and it was time to end this farce.
Thinking this in his mind, he released the hand holding the Glory Greatsword, and the sword disappeared. A long two-handed staff took its place in Luo Xi's hand.
He held the staff in his left hand and thrust it forward.
“Hoohoo~”
The moment the staff touched the ground, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes rose up out of nowhere, and the temperature in the entire forest suddenly dropped to the extreme. A large amount of frost quickly rolled towards the giant wild boar in front, wrapping its huge body.
The giant wild boar trembled all over, and in an instant it felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. All the muscles in its body seemed to be frozen at this moment, stiff in place.
At the same time, Luo Xi raised his right hand and uttered an obscure spell.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
Waves of crisp sounds echoed through the mountains and forests. A large amount of wind and snow quickly gathered and condensed towards the head of the giant wild boar, and a huge ice sword gradually formed.
During this period, Luo Xi's proficiency in the Ice Greatsword has improved several times, and now it has reached the proficient level.
The impact of increased proficiency on spells is enormous. The Ice Greatsword, which was only 1.5 meters long before, has doubled in height to 3 meters, and its width has also expanded to 50 centimeters. Standing in the air, it looks like a giant gate knife.
“Roar! Roar!”
The giant wild boar keenly smelled the scent of death, breathing heavily through its nostrils and struggling frantically.
However, all it did was doomed to be in vain. Under the influence of the advanced apprentice spell 'Frost', every muscle cell of it had been frozen, and now it was like a piece of fish on the chopping board.
Luo Xi raised his right hand and grabbed the giant sword out of thin air. He then grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it down.
The huge ice sword fell straight down with a loud bang.
