Chapter 843 - 421: Handsome Is Power.
But what if he activates the enhancement state of [Dragon Kind] and then adds the enhancement effect of [Tier Two Ghost Transformation]?
He imagined it for a moment and felt that it might be possible to endure it.
Of course, comparing it this way is somewhat unfair, as [Dragon Kind] and [Tier Two Ghost Transformation] are multi-dimensional enhancements, not just limited to defensive enhancement itself.
Moreover, if faced with an enemy casting powerful attack spells like Bigby’s Hand, he certainly wouldn’t just stay put like a sitting duck, mindlessly waiting for the enemy’s continuous attacks.
He has the Teleportation Skill as a portal, the Flying Skill for movement, and other attack magic to restrain the enemy.
As long as he can endure one hit, he can greatly increase his own error tolerance in battle, making such defensive measures meaningful.
When necessary, he can also engage in "eye-for-an-eye" tactics—he can withstand the enemy’s attacks, but the enemy may not be able to take his offensive.
After all, apart from a small number of professions, most professionals are characters with strong offense but weak defense.
Even Warriors are the same; though their health bar is sturdier compared to fragile Casters, their defensive capability is certainly weaker than their Combat Skills.
In the distance, members of the Red Dragon Team collecting spoils couldn’t help but look toward the direction where Gauss was.
Almost everyone could sense the terrifying power contained there.
"If the leader’s big hand were to strike us, it probably wouldn’t be much harder than squashing an ant, right?" Some lower-level professionals couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.
The longer they stayed in contact with the leader, the more deeply they realized the vast differences between people.
In fact, even leaving aside these low-level professionals who were dumbfounded, even Red Dragon Team’s highest outwardly shown Level 9 Warlock, Luna, was greatly shocked, her level of astonishment surpassing theirs.
She blinked, and her pupils slowly dilated.
Then, like seeing an unbelievable scene, she rubbed her eyes and looked again toward the giant hand in the distant sky.
Judging by her magical insights, such distinctive visual effects of the spell clearly identified it as Bigby’s Hand.
But... isn’t that a Level 5 circle spell??
If she remembers correctly, even though the leader has just completed his breakthrough, his current Professional Level as a Caster is only Level 8, even a level lower than hers.
On the combat strength front, crushing her is somewhat understandable, as there are some extraordinary monsters in this world who can transcend level constraints to defeat more advanced opponents.
But at present, being able to so proficiently cast Level 5 circle spells does indeed make her question her reality.
Especially since she usually pays attention to the types of spells Gauss masters, this seems even more incredible.
One thing she truly couldn’t understand, to the point of violating her long-held understanding of magic.
Is there perhaps someone who can bear an unlimited number of spells?
At least among the people she’s heard of, none have mastered an array of magic as vast and varied as him, like a living, walking library of magic.
She silently assessed Gauss’s spell casting practice.
And Gauss, in mid-air in the distance, hardly cared for the numerous gazes surrounding him.
After all, magic is bound to be used sooner or later, and there’s no need to deliberately conceal it, nor think of it as a hidden card.
The stronger he is, the more loyal the Red Dragon Team members will be.
Moreover, it’s not the spell itself that’s powerful, but him.
His multitude of magical specialties and talents, coupled with a high Intelligence Attribute of 20 points and other various factors, cause the spells to exhibit tremendous power in his hands.
His thoughts returned to Bigby’s Hand.
Despite being the first time he released it, charging preparation time was rather lengthy, but fortunately, it was successfully cast.
He felt the power of Bigby’s Hand, noting that this spell comes in four manifestations.
[Iron Fist] [Flight Palm] [Capture Palm] [Guardian Palm].
Though they sound flashy, essentially it forms a fist, hardens, and strikes a specific area—it’s the most destructive form, with the drawback of having a relatively small coverage area.
Flight Palm evenly distributes power across the palm’s surface, able to push objects before it, acting as a control skill, and most targets—even those large in size—find it hard to resist that powerful force.
Capture Palm uses the giant hand to seize the target, unlike an Iron Fist transaction, with lower explosiveness but allows control over the enemy. During target seizure, it continuously utilizes the hand’s force to exert strong pressure.
As for the final Guardian Palm, as the name implies, it’s a defensive measure. Bigby’s Hand can block between oneself/allies and enemies, like a virtual grasping barrier. Unless attacks exceed its defense threshold, they will be blocked.
Even if attacks pass through the palm, they face corresponding weakening.
Beyond that, there are some basic applications, such as allowing teammates to stand on the palm’s surface to achieve displacement effects.
Or using it to transport some heavy items, serving as a crane’s function, and so on.
