Chapter 50 Forbidden Techniques? Not as Good as Technology
"wrong…"
Gridov felt a chill run down his spine.
He suddenly remembered that he had just witnessed the explosion of the Fireball spell at the exact moment the two fireballs made contact.
Pyroblast does not detonate at the point of impact when it hits the target.
Instead, it was detonated prematurely in mid-air by that tiny fireball!
"How is this possible?! What kind of fireball spell... could it break through a fireball spell and even pass through it unscathed?!"
Gridov couldn't understand it.
How could his ultimate skill, honed over ten years, be completely "pierced" by a mere fireball?!
Just when everyone was at a loss.
"look!"
They suddenly looked at the sea of fire that had just been unleashed by the Fireball spell.
Amidst the raging flames, a slender figure slowly emerged.
A layer of cyan hurricane-like structures, like an airtight iron barrel, tightly protected Rom in the center, keeping all the flames out.
Luo Mu stood inside, his blue robes billowing in the airflow, completely unharmed.
"Wind Shield!"
Jack, who had hidden in the woods, witnessed this and was so excited he almost cried: "Boss! I knew you wouldn't die!"
"How could this guy be alright?!"
"Even a Fireball spell couldn't kill him? He's a high-level mage?!"
The thieves immediately tensed up, drew their weapons, and began to form a defensive formation.
Gridov stared intently at the rapidly spinning wind shield surrounding Rom, his doubts and shock growing even stronger.
Why does this guy have a wind shield?!
Wasn't he using a fireball spell just now? Could he be a rare dual-wielding mage?
"And... I'm using Fireball, so why can't I even tear through this low-level Wind Shield?"
...
Rom walked leisurely out of the gradually dying flames.
He glanced at the system panel.
Just now, he directly invoked the optimized version of 【Double Nested Wind Shield_v2.0】.
In Rom's optimization, this wind shield is no longer the original single-layer membrane that relies solely on magic to withstand the wind.
It has been optimized into two layers: the outer layer rotates clockwise at high speed to deflect physical impacts, and the inner layer rotates counterclockwise to neutralize magical energy.
An absolute vacuum layer is formed between the two wind shields.
"The effect is quite good."
This is why Rom stood at the center of the third-order fireball and didn't feel any temperature at all.
Physics works just as well in the magical world.
"Who are you?!"
Gridov gritted his teeth and pointed his staff at Rom.
He had been in Red Dragon City for so many years, but he had never heard of any scion of a noble family possessing such a spellcasting technique that even he couldn't understand.
Romulus didn't even look at him, but casually smoothed out his cloak and said indifferently:
"Your Fireball spell has quite a few problems, you bald-headed guy."
"It has an extremely large volume of fire element, but the internal elemental arrangement is as loose as a ball of cotton."
If you don't know how to use your mental power to compress the fire element to a high density, then it's an extremely unstable powder keg.
The core structure will collapse instantly if it is struck by even a slightly strong single point of kinetic energy from the outside. Do you understand?
Upon hearing this, Gridov's eyes widened, his face full of confusion.
Although he couldn't quite understand the strange words the young man was using, such as "compression" and "collapse."
However… the general meaning expressed in these words was exactly the same as what his highly respected mentor had taught him back in the guild!
Moreover, this young man discovered the same problem after only watching him cast a spell once!
...
"What utter nonsense are you spouting! How dare you look down on our Brother Gridorf!!"
Seeing his elder brother being so humiliated, a thief picked up his heavy crossbow and fired two arrows at Romu in quick succession.
Poisoned crossbow bolts hurtled through the air.
However, at the moment of contact with the wind shield.
Clap!
The crossbow bolts were instantly shredded into wood chips by the wind shield, posing no threat to Rom in the slightest.
Luo Mu's eyes turned cold, and he swung his right hand forward.
No one could see any magic or light effects clearly; they only heard the sound of wind whistling in mid-air.
pat.
The thief who was shooting arrows suddenly felt a chill on his right arm.
His arm, which was holding the crossbow, fell straight to the snow.
"ah?…"
The thief stared blankly at the severed arm on the ground, only managing to utter a half-sound of doubt.
The next second, his upper body separated completely from his lower body along a slanted line of blood and crashed to the ground.
"Leeteuk!!"
The thieves screamed in terror.
"Let's leave it at that for now, so as not to delay our journey."
Rom ignored the thieves' screams and glanced at the system panel.
We were maintaining both the fireball and the double-layered wind shield simultaneously, and now we only have 15 computing power left.
He took out a [Intermediate Magic Crystal] from his pocket.
"It's safer to fully charge the phone before making a call."
Rom put pressure on his left hand.
The hard, intermediate-grade magic crystal turned into powder and was instantly absorbed by the system.
[Mental computing power replenished: 50 points.]
Then, he raised his right hand, and a dark orange fireball quietly appeared in his palm.
"Fireball again!"
"He's going to unleash that exploding fireball again! Everyone spread out and take cover! Grab your weapons and let's chop him up!"
The bandit leader, mustering his courage, roared and drew his broadsword, leading the charge towards Rom.
As he watched the thieves charging towards him, Rom's fingers twitched rapidly in mid-air.
On the virtual keyboard, he was frantically pressing the [Run] key.
As the code ran line by line, the fireball in Rom's hand began to multiply rapidly, like cells dividing.
One becomes two, two become four.
Ten, twenty, forty...
The thieves at the forefront suddenly froze in their tracks on the snow.
They looked up in horror.
Above Rom, dozens of dark orange fireballs were densely packed and suspended.
From a distance, these fireballs look like an apple tree laden with fruit.
"Mom, Mom..."
The thief's second-in-command, who was at the forefront, dropped his greatsword with a clang to the ground.
He let out a piercing scream and turned to flee in the opposite direction like a madman.
"Run!! This guy isn't human! He's a devil!"
"The wind is coming."
Luo Mu's tone was icy, and he suddenly swung his left hand.
[Wind Breath Technique] Activated.
A powerful hurricane rose from the ground and blew the dozens of fireballs in mid-air directly past it.
The fireballs, swept up by the strong winds, covered the large snowfield where the thieves were, like a carpet bombing of meteors.
Boom! Boom! Boom—!
A series of explosions rang out.
Although the blast radius of each fireball is not large, under this dense bombardment, even a tiny bit of contact will instantly blast the torso apart.
Each fireball was like a hand grenade.
...
"My God... this isn't some basic fireball spell... this is indiscriminate slaughter..."
Hiding behind the tree, Jack gasped as he watched the scene unfold before him, cold sweat pouring down his back.
"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have been covered by this fireball spell too."
