League Of Spirits (3)

[Shortly after, you will be moved to the battlefield 'Ruins in the Rain.']

The unique notification message of the Stella Dome buzzed in their ears, and they were instantly transported to the ruins.

Flash!

When they opened their eyes, ruins were spread out in front of them. A control tower, which didn't fit the ruin at all, stood tall, with small guard towers lined up in front of it.

"Oh, so this is the battlefield."

"It doesn't feel much different from the Stella Dome's illusion practice."

Eisel poked the ground with her feet and then reached for her waist. She habitually tried to pull out a staff but felt nothing.

"Oh."

Only then did she realize that all weapons must be purchased from the shop within the battlefield.

"You can open the shop from the control tower. At the start, you are given 1,500 mana, and it's standard to buy a staff and mana stones."

Weapons and mana for using magic were essential.

After confirming that each person had bought the same wand, staff, and mana stones, Flame continued to explain.

"You probably know from reading the strategy book, but buying items like robes and boots is as important as upgrading your staff."

Although they had memorized the types of items, they still didn't know which item was best for which situation due to lack of experience.

"Now, let's choose our spells. It's better to choose only one powerful spell. It's often referred to as an 'ultimate' because the stronger the spell, the longer the cooldown, so you can't use it multiple times."

"So you fill one slot with a spell that can change the tide of battle but can only be used once per fight?"

When Hae Wonryang asked, Flame nodded.

"Right. Sometimes people use two or three as a strategy, but it's rare because it's inefficient. Once you've chosen your spell, there's a second must-have spell."

"...You mean the 'shield' spell, right?"

The available spells are fixed. Since 'all spells' were mentioned, the shield spell is naturally included.

Here, the first problem arises.

"What about you? What will you do?"

"What do you mean, what will I do?"

Baek Yuseol showed Flame his magic registration slot.

Just one spell, Blink.

That was all.

"Hmm... Are you really okay without a shield? It's one of the must-have spells. This spell alone can decide the outcome of the battle."

"Well, I'll just try not to get hit."

If he was exposed to magic without even a basic shield, he would be at risk of being 'instantly killed.'

The only silver lining was that there were items to protect him from attacks, even with long cooldowns, and upgrading the robe slightly increased basic defense each time.

However, the fact that he had to invest more in defense than others was already a penalty.

As an aggressive dealer, he had to invest resources in defense that should have been used to increase his attack power.
