Chapter 24: Magic Ring
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As expected, Wu Yan saw a new "Magic Barrier LV2" in his Skills Bar.
He was a little excited as he looked at this skill.
...
"Skill name: Magic Barrier.
"Skill level: LV2.
"Skill effect: Able to resist a single attack of 20% HP and 20% MP.
"Cooldown time: 30 seconds.
"Note: Each level-up will reduce the corresponding cooldown time and increase the maximum damage that the corresponding Magic Barrier can absorb.
"Additional extended skill: Before each activation, you can choose whether to resist Magic Damage or Physical Damage. Each activation will take 5 seconds."
...
Wu Yan thought, "Not Bad.
"It's nice!"
He was a little fascinated by it.
Perhaps because of the last effort of the Skill Learning Magister, not only was the skill LV2 once learned, but it also had an additional extended skill, which instantly raised this skill to a whole new level.
He had previously known Magic Barrier, mainly used to resist Magic Damage.
Now, the modified skill was equivalent to the switch between a shield and a barrier skill.
The Skill Learning Magister rubbed his hands. His expression was awkward. He had originally thought that even if he could not create a forbidden skill like HP-MP Conversion, he could still let Wu Yan continue learning Exploding Star.
He had not expected that he would directly start the process of imparting skills.
This was also because he had used his magic too many times today and could not control his magic well.
The Skill Learning Magister sighed as if he was lamenting his old age. His eyes were filled with sympathy as he said. "I'm sorry, Adventurer. It's my fault this time."
He gritted his teeth. "You must accept this." He took his ring from his hand as he spoke.
"Message notification: Player Wandering has triggered the Skill Learning Magister's goodwill!
"Do you accept the Skill Learning Magister's Magic Ring (incomplete)?"
Wu Yan had no choice but to accept.
The Skill Learning Magister made it clear that if Wu Yan did not accept it, it meant that Wu Yan looked down on him.
But Wu Yan was really not the least bit unhappy.
This skill was the second skill he wanted.
After all, his greatest weakness as a Tank-type Mage was that he could not counter a Mage's magic. It could only work in Physical-type classes.
But Magic Barrier increased his HP by another 40%.
And his MP was the same as his HP.
It meant that if he had HP-MP Conversion, he could double his HP.
So this was not bad.
Wu Yan started to imagine what he should do when he was surrounded by a few players.
In Beginners' Village, players could not fight against each other.
After leaving Beginners' Village, players could do this. However, if the aggro was too high after the battle, it would attract the guards and even raise the wild monsters' anger.
So not so many people were willing to fight against each other.
Some players who liked battle would choose the Main City's arena to decide the outcome.
Moreover, when players fought in the arena, they would suffer no loss in death, and the number of deaths would not be counted.
Therefore, fighting in the arena was still very popular among players.
Especially now, players were stuck in a state before class advancement and could not complete the class advancement quest.
So they could only strengthen their skills through fighting with each other.
According to the official update trailer for the next issue, the upcoming "Arena Ladder Rankings" would be announced.
The rewards for players on Arena Ladder Rankings would be the most generous ever on other lists.
This was also specially requested by the official agent of Blue Star.
It was equivalent to a custom-made function of the Blue Star service area.
This was because if players reached the latter stages of the game, they would fight against players from other service areas. So it would be a large-scale battlefield where everyone could battle.
On the other side, the Skill Learning Magister continued to sigh.
He said, "Adventurer, you still have a chance. Go to Akas City to find Ingersol Darnell and activate the Oblivion Potion Quest.
"However, this quest is difficult and requires you to be stronger.
"Maybe you'll have to wait a while."
Wu Yan thanked the Skill Learning Magister sincerely.
He almost had known everything from the Skill Learning Magister this time.
The Skill Learning Magister was a Mage after usually class advancement and was stronger than an LV20 Mage now.
Even so, he had been tormented by Wu Yan today.
At this time, Wu Yan held the "Magic Ring (incomplete)" and carefully examined it.
...
"Item name: Magic Ring (incomplete)
"Item grade: Silver
"Item description: This is a Legacy Ring of the Skill Learning Magister from 1111 Main City. Completing it will have an unexpected effect.
"Item effect description: Maximum MP increases 10%. Recovering 2 MP per second. Effect still existing during battle."
...
Wu Yan did not have much hope at first because he saw the word "incomplete" from the start.
He did not expect this incomplete Magic Ring to be Silver.
There had not been a single Gold level accessory yet, only a few Gold level weapons.
According to the official introduction, there were no Gold level accessories in this version yet.
Players like Wu Yan who had a Silver level accessory were already in the minority.
Most players did not have accessories, and even some high-level players only had a few Bronze level accessories.
Moreover, this Magic Ring (incomplete) actually had two additional attributes.
So Wu Yan's MP finally rose a little.
He had just checked that Magic Barrier was still a little depleted. To maintain Magic Barrier, he needed to consume 10 MP per second.
If he did not consider the effects of MP recovery, he could only maintain Magic Barrier for two minutes.
But he had 10 Intelligence, so he could recover 1 MP per second. In addition, the Magic Ring could recover 2 MP per second.
Wu Yan kept calculating in his heart.
He was still slow in his MP recovery. He needed to let Magic Barrier run unscathed so that he could feel safe.
Right now, he really only had Small Fireball.
Fortunately, the physical attack of the Silver Magic Wand he had just replaced had increased by another 10 points. He could use Small Fireball and Magic Wand Strike these two skills to deplete the monster's HP.
He thought, "Well, I have to find a Physical-type monster to level up first."
As soon as he finished this matter, he sent a message back to Heaven Punisher.
They had an agreement before.
So he had to go to the Legendary Guild to greet the other Mages.
