Chapter 366: Margaretâs Teaching!
Translator: Lonelytree
â You can only review the contents of the class through your own memory. Letâs continue!
â After measuring the enemyâs combat ability and confirming that you havenât provoked any rich people or hidden big shots, itâs time for the real battle. âMy battle rules were very simple. The core concept is just oneâBe cunning and unscrupulous!
âIf you can defeat more people, you will never fight one-on-one.
âDonât show your face in advance if you can sneak attack in secret;
âIf you can poison, donât use fireballs to attack; âIf you can curse, refuse to fight head-on.
âIf you can use items, donât consume your mana.
âIf you can bluff, donât fight head-on. âThere is only one goal in battles.
âThat is victory!
âThe means of victory were only tools, and there was no distinction between high and low tools.
âYou should treat all means of victory equally. This is the attitude that a Battle Mage should have.
âKilling your enemy in the most efficient way is also the greatest respect a Battle Mage has for their enemy.â
Matthew nodded excitedly.
Margaretâs ideas actually coincided with his.
As a pragmatic person, he realized that he was actually quite suitable to become a Battle Mage.
â Very good. It seems that you donât reject my point of view. Now that weâve finished talking about the concepts, letâs talk about some real details.â Margaret continued,
âThe unscrupulous battle strategy can be divided into four areas.
âFirst, strategy.
Strategy includes covert schemes and overt schemes. I donât care what method you use. It doesnât matter if you kill someone with a borrowed knife or if you use someone elseâs influence. A strategy that can kill the enemy is a good strategy.
âI wonât go into detail about this because Iâm not good at strategy. I prefer to fight with real weapons.
âSecond, assassination.
âThere are many ways to assassinate someone. The most common ones were hiring assassins, poisoning, or cursing.
âThis method is very effective in situations where the target is unaware.
âHowever, if the enemy were on guard, the success rate of the assassination would be greatly reduced.
âAt this point, I must mention an unconventional assassination method. âThis involves the âTransformation Parabolyâ. I donât know if youâve studied it in advance.â
Matthew nodded.
âI know a little. The so-called transformation spells are all used to temporarily transform the target into a special magical form through a fixed medium.
âThis form did not mean that the target had really turned into a sheep or a stone. The physical attributes of the target were actually unchanged, so instead of calling it a transformation, it was more like trapping them in a special medium. The strength of the transformation spell determined the stability of the medium.
âThe so-called Transformation Paraboly is that if you turned a person into a
frog and swallowed it into your stomachâŠ
âThe frog should be damaged by gastric acid corrosion in your stomach. Due to insufficient stability, it should beaten back to its original form.
âLogically speaking, that person should have appeared in my stomach. âHowever, that would not be the case. He would only appear at a random location beside me without any damage.
âThis wonât cause my stomach to explode. âThis phenomenon is the Transformation Paraboly.â
Margaret nodded approvingly.
âThis is a common problem with all transformation spells because it doesnât change the basic properties of the material.
âIt was the same for the Druidâs wilderness form. They were just more stable and more realistic.
âHowever, there was a certain type of spell that was an exception.
âThat is the True Transformation!
âTrue Transformation could break through the Transformation Paraboly to kill people.
âYou can turn into a sugar cube and wait for the enemy to swallow you into their mouth before suddenly cancelling the spell.
âAt this moment, his head would definitely be blown apart by you.
âIâm quite skilled in True Transformation, and Iâve killed quite a few people with it.
âIf you have the ability to learn True Transformation, donât hesitate. No matter what the form of the transformation is, you have to take it.
âThis is the type with the highest success rate among all assassination methods.
âYou canât miss it!â
Matthewâs face turned slightly green after hearing this.
He felt a little regretful.
If he had attended Margaretâs class a few days earlier, he might have chosen True Transformation from the abilities in the domain of transformation.
Although it seemed difficult for the enemy to swallow a stone, he could also stuff the stone into bread or something.
Margaret had given him a lot of information in class.
Before Matthew could digest it. She continued speaking in a swift and decisive manner,
âThird, make the first move.
âIf there must be a magic showdown, then the first move is very important. I suggest that you buy a Dragon Fire Amulet. This thing can break all spells and is a necessary tool for making the first move without pressure.
âThe fourth piece of content was also related to the spell showdown, which was a game or a feint.
âRemember!
âYou can predict the enemyâs movements, but donât predict too much!
âIâm not questioning your intelligence, but my teacher taught me a saying a long time ago. This saying has been fully tested in my combat career.
Rookies die from feints, while experts die from prediction.
âAny combat game with an enemy higher than three tiers is foolish.
âThe kind of battle where I predicted your prediction only existed in the scripts of third-rate bards.
âIt is not a joke that experts die from predictions. This sentence is the essence extracted from countless corpses.
âIâm not asking you to completely reject prediction..â
