Chapter 123: Mike's weakness

"Stone spears appear."
An inaudible sound rang out in the responsive room, and saw a very slender stone thorn with barbed thorns shaped like an arrow from the foot of a training dummy, directly from the vital part of the training dummy Pierce in, and then pierce through the Tianling cover.
Although the stone thorn is slender but very tough, the dummy shook a few times involuntarily after being pierced by the stone thorn, but this stone thorn was resolutely shaken in the face of the perfect restoration of the adult male's weight, which is about 75 kg. Move, there is no meaning to break.
A sweaty Mike looked at the dummy who had been punctured and tortured with a smile on his face. After a whole day of hard work, the attack power of the ground stabbing technique has been greatly improved.
And now the ground stab technique is no longer the ground stab technique that Cedric could easily discern. After research, Mike found that the release of the ground stab technique was completely based on Mike’s own spiritual power to guide the magic power to perform underground. Improve this mechanism, and now the ground stab technique is more concealed than before.
However, as if thinking of something, Mike's smile suddenly disappeared, and he changed to a distressed look and said: "Not yet! This level can't break Cedric's defense at all!"
While speaking, Mike performed ground stab again.
Yes, Mike is now studying how to break through Cedric's tortoise shell.
Yesterday, with Professor Flitwick, he enjoyed the food specially made by the house elves for this celebration party with only two people. Mike went into the responsive room and started to perfect his own magic system.
Previously, Mike was very satisfied with his existing tactical system, with damage including AOE flame curse and single magic spell. Defense has armor protection, pseudo-displacement has wind speed curse, concealment has phantom curse, sneak attack has ground stabbing, and there are many obstacles to control.
In addition, Mike has a large number of spells like shattered bones and weapons that can be used to attack and harass. It can be said to be an invincible tactic that can play and run.
However, Cedric taught Mike a real lesson that night.
The flame curse, ground stabbing and other damage curses were all eclipsed in front of the stone shield that Cedric deformed, and the death curse could not be used in front of people.
If this is replaced by an actual combat microphone, the enemy can advance and retreat with the concealment and high mobility brought by the wind speed curse and the phantom curse.
Anyway, Cedric's attack range is not large, Mike can easily run out, and Polymorphism does not require magic to maintain, in the long run, Cedric will eventually be consumed by himself.
But this is not actual combat, but a duel of wizards in full view.
It's not that Mike is afraid that using this tactic will be looked down upon by the audience, but that the range of the wizard's duel is limited, and his set of tactics can't be used at all.
And don’t even think about Mike. Cedric’s polymorphism can not only be used for defense and offense. If he turns the entire field into a quagmire, Mike’s proud high mobility will also become a tasteless one.
Now Mike also understands his weakness, lacking a powerful single damage spell that can be revealed to others. In the final analysis, what I was worried about was that his most lethal "fireball" serial bombing could not break through Cedric's defense. As long as he could hurt Cedric in that layer of tortoise shell, then all the problems would be solved.
For this reason, Mike thought about it for a long time, and even thought of directional blasting, but in the end he chose to start with ground acupuncture. After all, he was not a professional in his previous life and knew nothing about explosives.
In addition, Transfiguration is also a very good breakthrough. As the saying goes, if you can't beat it, join it. Since you can't break the stone tortoise shell, then everyone should be a turtle with head shrinking. At most, it will be an exciting wizard. The duel became a boring battle of urine.
Thinking of this, Mike regretted that he hadn’t studied Transfiguration well. Whether it’s Cedric’s superb defense or Dumbledore’s wand’s horrible power to kill the Basilisk in seconds, it proves that Transfiguration can be applied to a high level. Absolutely a power above most spells.
Speaking of it, although Mike has always said that he hadn't learned his transfiguration well, in fact, with his profound magic power and huge mental power, Mike's transfiguration technique is also relatively good among the young wizards of the same grade.
After all, the second-grade transfiguration technique is not too advanced. It is nothing more than turning a button into a mouse into a chafer. It is very simple.
Just recite the spell VeraVerto and imagine what you want to change in your heart. The more specific you imagine, the higher the probability of successful transformation.
But this is only the most basic polymorphism. After the experiment, Mike found that this level of polymorphism could not be used in actual combat at all.
Not to mention that you can't control the floor at will to become a shield, even the lions and tigers and other beasts he conjured are just appearances, and they will return to their original appearances with a single punch.
In desperation, Mike could only give up the idea of ​​fighting poison with poison. He really couldn't figure out how Cedric was able to freely control everything around him to deform.
Dumbledore can do this, it is a must. After all, he is the strongest white wizard, and he was also a professor of polymorphism at Hogwarts before, and he must be proficient in polymorphism.
But it’s a bit exaggerated that you, Cedric, a student who has not yet graduated, can do similar things?
"Huh~hu~"
Mike, who tried ground acupuncture twice more, stopped panting for breath~EbookFREE.me~ came to the resting place in the training room and collapsed on the sofa chair.
Looking blankly at the training dummies pierced by stone thorns, Mike only felt thirsty.
Reached out and fumbled for a while on the desk next to the sofa chair, grabbed a glass and lifted it into his mouth. However, Mike had long drunk the water in the glass, and no matter how hard Mike tried to pour it, no water dripped down.
A handful of the empty glass was thrown out, and the glass fell on the carpet with a dull sound, and did not break.
Mike sighed deeply without the expected sound of glass breaking.
The improvement of ground stab technique still failed.
Although with his efforts, the ground stabbing technique has become a terrifying sneak attack spell, but the most critical penetration is still not enough. This will continue until he meets Cedric again in the duel competition. I definitely lose.
Suddenly, a colic in his belly pulled Mike from a contemplative state back to reality. He raised his head and glanced at the wall clock. It was already ten thirty in the evening, and Mike discovered that he had been in the responsive room for two days. , And the rice has not been dropped since this morning.
"Go to the break, I won't make any progress if I continue to do so. Besides, I will have class tomorrow."
Thinking like this in his heart, Mike turned his head and glanced at the bread and sausage Franklin and Penello had brought to him on the desk. Mike curled his lips and stood up.
He decided to go to the Hogwarts kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. He couldn't eat the cold sausage and bread.
