Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#425 - Blood Bird

"The principle of telekinesis is based on spiritual power and mental strength, using them to manipulate the air and indirectly achieve the purpose of controlling objects."

"The domain, or rather, the preliminary manifestation of the domain-like power I envision, requires the power of thunder, fire, and wood as its foundation, to be manipulated as a substitute for air."

"Because thunder, fire, and wood are essentially the powers derived from the fusion and exploration of my spirit with the natural world, their relationship with me is much closer."

"Therefore, manipulating them is much easier and more effective than what telekinesis can achieve."

"Furthermore, each of the three attributes—thunder, fire, and wood—possesses considerable power in itself, so once manipulated, their power will naturally surpass that of air."

"If... Hmm? What did I just say!?"

"...Thunder, fire, and wood are essentially products of my mental strength interacting and exploring with the natural world!"

"Mental strength interacting with nature... In other words, a product of mutual influence with the environment..."

"Therefore, whether it's the creation of the domain or the expansion of thunder, fire, and wood, the key lies in mental strength!"

"Yes, with the prerequisite of having the innate intention as a medium, mental strength is the true determining factor!"

...

Thinking of this, the corners of Liang Yue's mouth curved slightly, and a pair of bright eyes suddenly burst out with two dazzling rays of light, as if electricity was generated in the void.

Afterward, he began to reread the content and knowledge in his mind related to the innate intention of thunder, fire, and wood.

As for the mental strength that someone regarded as the key, Liang Yue certainly didn't lack it.

In fact, as a proper Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, with the assistance of the two advanced paths of an adventurer and a mage, Liang Yue's mental strength was definitely much stronger than that of ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

This fundamental condition can be said to be exceptionally solid!

What he lacked before was nothing more than a flash of inspiration during the period of confusion before creating the technique.

Now that he has figured out the key, he will naturally be blessed with inspiration and his thoughts will become clear!

After a long time~

Liang Yue regained his senses from his contemplation.

Raising his head, he saw that at some unknown time, the Corpsefire and its gang, who were originally some distance away from him, had gradually moved to his front.

"Good ~"

"It just so happens that I have gained some insights into the domain, and now I can use you to test it out."

"Thunder, Fire, Wood ~ Expand!"

As soon as Liang Yue's words fell, the originally solid thunder, fire, and wood light and shadow behind him instantly turned into a glimmer of light and directly drilled into his body.

But correspondingly, the next moment, a piece of cyan light suddenly spread out, starting from Liang Yue as the origin and center, quickly covering in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, it had enveloped the Corpsefire and his party not far away.

"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!..."

The next moment, accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing, the Corpsefire, as the boss of the Evil Cave, was pierced into a riddled mess by wooden spears that seemed to protrude from the void!

Needless to say, after suffering such a heavy blow, this zombie boss was naturally unable to survive.

After the health bar was cleared, its entire body instantly shattered into countless pieces.

Several pieces of equipment, potions, and a pile of gold coins fell out.

Liang Yue was not in a hurry to attack the zombie minions around the Corpsefire, but left them for further experiments next~

"Although the application of wooden spears can bring the most direct damage to the target, the wood attribute itself has natural limitations, after all, even the hardest wood cannot compare with metal."

"Its best attack method should be in the aspects of entanglement, poison, devouring, digestion, absorption, extraction, transformation, parasitism, etc."

"In addition, in some higher-level worlds, when the wood attribute is developed to a certain stage, it seems that the thunder of wood, and even the laws of life, can be born."

"However, that is another story."

In short, Liang Yue was very curious at this moment.

Just like a child who has just received a beloved toy, his thoughts are flowing, and he can't wait to use the wood attribute in the thunder, fire, and wood to experiment on those zombies.

As for why Liang Yue only showed the power of the wood attribute at this time.

First, the little monsters in front of him were too useless to withstand too many attacks. His thunder attribute contained the power of heavenly tribulation, which was always a one-hit kill.

The previous Fallen ones were a lesson.

Secondly, the fire attribute part has been suppressed a bit recently and is not very effective. It is already a bit stretched to just hold on to that little territory, so it is not suitable to move it.

"It seems that I have to find some flames with good power to replenish them as soon as possible. That 'Flame Spirit Art' can be used."

This thought flashed through Liang Yue's mind, and then he began to use his own wood-based power to operate on the zombies.

What five-flower binding, void hanging, what rooting in the body, growing into a tree, absorbing life essence, transforming into extra spiritual power, and so on.

Liang Yue, who walked out of the cave, was not in a hurry to return to the camp, but followed another path and directly stepped onto the Cold Plains. After opening the teleport point next to the road, he returned to the Rogue Encampment.

He handed in the task and received a skill point from Akara.

Since Liang Yue doesn't have the Diablo 2 character template now, he naturally can't use this thing. Fortunately, the system is considerate and temporarily keeps it for him...

After receiving the next Blood Raven mission from Kashya, he teleported back to the Cold Plains again.

Speaking of which, Liang Yue originally didn't plan to do this mercenary mission, after all, a Rogue archer is almost just a drag to him.

But considering the Diablo professional template after he clears the game, and the extra reward mentioned by the system~

Liang Yue felt that it would be best for him to honestly complete the process completely.

After all, he doesn't know what the system's evaluation criteria for rewards are. If it's just because of his negligence, a certain task is not completed, resulting in an unsatisfactory result, then it must be a huge loss!

So, with this concern, Liang Yue quickly passed through the Cold Plains and came to a Burial Grounds scattered with sporadic bones.

In the center of the map, there is a cemetery building located there, and in the center of the rows of tombstones, there is also a thick tree growing.

At this moment, the treetops are covered with dry bones, and next to the tree, there is a demon archer wearing red and white armor.

After taking a look at the mission target from a distance, Liang Yue then covered his wood attribute domain.

At this moment, he whistled leisurely, gesturing wildly at the big tree from a distance of fifty or sixty meters.

The next moment, countless winding vines suddenly protruded from the trunk, and quietly tied the Blood Raven firmly and hung it in mid-air...
