Mage: Start by summoning the Twin Goddesses

Chapter 3 The Terrible Lethal Power of Spells
Trial dungeon - Death Mine

This is the dungeon that Zhang Qing needs to face.

The background is very simple. One day, a terrifying mutated giant rat suddenly appeared in this semi-abandoned mine, which caused the death and injury of many miners.

In order to resume production, but also to ensure the safety of the surrounding residential areas.

Players will act as adventurers and accept commissions to deal with accidents in the mine.

"Then, let's start the trial."

Zhang Qing spoke to the elf and started the formal trial.

With the disappearance of the elf's figure, everything that was originally still around suddenly became animated.

Zhang Qing strode into the dark mine, and two dungeon missions popped up in front of him.

【Clean up rats】: Kill all the mutant rats in the mine.

【Kill the Rat King】: Kill the Mutant Rat King.

Zhang Qing has read these contents countless times, and there is no need to read them again.

He waved his hand, hid the information, and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!
A soft ball of light emerged from his fingertips, and then floated around him, illuminating a distance of more than ten meters around him.

Brightness

Level: 1nd-level spell

Requirements: Speech/Gesture
Consumption: 1 energy points

Description: Create a light group that can move within a certain range, emit bright light within a radius of 15 meters, and emit a small amount of light within a range of 20 meters outside it.

When the light ball of the light technique rose, the surrounding dark space suddenly brightened.

This is why Zhang Qing needs to learn this spell.

The interior of the mine is dim, and if there is no light source, it is impossible to see any movement around it.

Although you can buy a torch, but the range of illumination is far less than that of the light technique, and it needs to be held, making it difficult to cast it in the face of danger.

The entrance of the mine is quite spacious, but as it goes deeper, it gradually becomes narrower.

Not long after, there was a fork in the road ahead, which divided into two roads, left and right.

Once here, danger begins to appear, and the mutant mouse is behind these two roads.

There are two tasks given at the beginning of the trial dungeon, one is to wipe out the rat population, which means to clean up all the mutant rats in the dungeon.

Zhang Qing has experienced it many times, and he is very clear about the number of mutant mice in the dungeon, there are more than 30 of them.

Distributed on the left and right roads.

In other words, to complete this task, you have to go through both paths.

The road on the left is a dead end, about 300 meters away, there are many sunken pits.

Some mutant mice will hide in it.

Including the mouse king of the mutated mouse is also the requirement of the second mission.

This mouse king is hiding in a huge deep pit at the deepest point, and it is also the source of the mutant mice—they dug a passage from the ground and broke into the mine here.

What Zhang Qing needs to do now is to kill those scattered mutant mice from the road on the right first, and then turn the gun head back to clean up the monsters on the left.

"It is indeed difficult for normal players to achieve an SSS rating, and even an SS rating is a difficulty."

Zhang Qing is very clear about this. The passage on the right is not only narrow and long, but also has many corners.

The mutated mice have a certain amount of intelligence. Not only do they like to hide in the dark for sneak attacks, but when they find that the enemy's strength is strong enough, they even simply hide and don't fight.

"Try to clear the passage on the right within 15 minutes."

Zhang Qing muttered to himself, then quickened his pace.

The acceleration technique made him move like a trot, walking on the ground in the rough tunnel.

Suddenly, Zhang Qing suddenly stopped, and there was a sharp "squeak" sound from the right, and then a big black mouse swooped towards this side.

The mouse was quite huge, about the size of a hound.

Under the light of the Light Art, this big black mouse couldn't get close to sneak attack at all, and could only sprint towards this side more than ten meters away.

mutant mouse
Rating: 2
Health: 96
Without fear, Zhang Qing held the wand of dead wood in his right hand and pointed it directly at the opposite side.

"Acid splash!"

[acid splash]

Level: 1nd-level spell

Requirements: language
Consumption: 1 energy points

Description: Launches a cloud of acidic liquid, causing 1D3 points of corrosive damage to the target.

A green spherical liquid quickly formed on the top of Zhang Qing's wand, and then shot out quickly.

After being hit by the acid sphere.A pungent smell suddenly spread in the tunnel.

Zhang Qing held his nose and took two steps back, cursing at the mutated mouse that had festered and turned into a pool of bones.

A mutant mouse was easily managed, but it didn't mean that the mutant mouse was easy to deal with.

For a normal human, this mutant mouse is extremely dangerous and terrifying.

Its strength exceeds that of many middle-aged men, and it can easily drag hundreds of catties of objects and run at high speed.

The teeth and claws are so sharp that even leather armor can hardly withstand their bite.

Zhang Qing had tried it before. If he didn't use spells, even with his bare hands, he couldn't beat a mutated mouse with all his strength.

In the end, he was even dragged to the depths in shame, and was used as a food reserve by the rats.

But now, a mere [Acid Splash] ended the life of this mutated mouse.

"No matter how you look at the damage of the spell, it feels a bit too much."

Zhang Qing couldn't help laughing.

The 1D3 damage from the acid splash means 1 to 3 times the caster's attack.

Zhang Qing's current basic attack power is 18 points.

Then there was the 24-point magic attack bonus of the withered wood wand, which was a total of 42 points.

That is to say, one shot of [Acid Splash] can deal a minimum of 42 points of damage and a maximum of 126 points of damage.

The damage value of the spell, the gap between the upper limit and the lower limit is very large.

If it is another mage, the damage value randomly appears in the damage of 42-126 points, then a splash of acid may not be able to kill a mutant mouse.

After all, this mutated mouse has 96 health points.

If you're unlucky, you may not be able to kill a mutated mouse if you hit the lowest damage twice in a row.

A mutated mouse that has been seriously injured may fight back even more viciously.

But Zhang Qing doesn't need to worry about this.

Because with the appearance of Zhang Qing's [Wishing Art · Perfect Casting] state, every spell of his can reach the maximum value of damage.

That is 126 points.

The mutated mouse with less than 100 HP was naturally killed in one shot.

In the entire trial dungeon, except for the final boss, the HP of the other mutant mice did not exceed 126 points.

So in this dungeon, all mobs can be killed directly with just one shot of [Acid Splash].

That's why, Zhang Qing needs to buy this deadwood wand with +1 enhancement.
