Spell Upgrade System

The suffocating picture made Shikatori Hiiragi forget to hold his breath for a moment, and the disgusting smell suddenly hit his face.

In the deepest part of the alley, except for a pool of blood and some fragments of clothes, there is a mountain of garbage. It seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time, and the garbage can is pressed under the huge pile of garbage.

The liquid mixed with stinky water and blood seemed to flow down to Shikatori Hiiragi's feet, but she didn't retreat subconsciously.

It's not that Shikatori Hiiragi has never seen this kind of scene. When she was abandoned in the slums, she also saw more cruel scenes than this.

Yokohama is not a peaceful place, especially in the slums that are poorer and more chaotic than Radium Street. It is common for some unknown gangsters to go there to capture a few slaves. If they resist, then they cannot Choose your own way of death.

At that time, Shikatori Hiiragi was still young, and he was in the trough of his life, so he couldn't react to some excessive scenes.

And now it's different.

She knew that behind the blood was a living human life. Maybe that person had nothing to do with her, but there was always someone connected with him.

Judging from the fact that the blood didn't dry up at all, this person should have been killed not long ago. In that case, maybe if she came sooner, he could be saved?

Trying to suppress the anger and guilt in his heart, Shikatori Hiiragi began to observe the scene.

Obviously, the curse spirit is not within the range of her sight, but she somehow knows that the curse spirit is at this place now, and after eating the person just now, it continues to stay where it is, waiting for the next prey .

That is her.

[System: Mana 5. 】

Shikatori Hiiragi was a little puzzled as to why his mana had suddenly increased, but he didn't have time to think about these issues at this time. Finding the mantra and expelling it was the most important thing now.

She found that she had obviously inhaled some gas before, but the speed at which her stamina decreased did not increase.

If this is the case, does that mean that the toxin is not superimposed?Now that she has been poisoned, there is no need to continue to take protective measures.

In that case, the defense of the sobriety mask is still internal?

[System: In theory, any poisoning caused by poisonous gas or fog can be resisted. 】

As if hearing what she was thinking, the system explained it thoughtfully.

After confirming that the toxin will not superimpose in the body, Shikatori Hiiragi stopped holding her breath, probably because she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she also heard the message of the system "Physical Strength 1".

Taking a deep breath, Shikatori Hiiragi concentrated on feeling the location in the alley where the mana power accumulated more.

[System: Mana 1. 】

She just felt that the feeling of the magic power was clearer.

[System: Mana 1. 】

The more the mana value increases, the more Shikatori Hiiragi feels the direction is more specific, and the harder she tries to perceive it, the faster the mana value increases.

[System: Mana 1. 】

……

This is a positive correlation.

I don't know when, Shikatori Hiiragi saw some dirty marks on the ground, which she hadn't seen just now.

Shikatori Hiiragi asked the system: [What is this? 】

[System: It is the filth of the curse spirit. 】

[Katori Hiiragi: Cruel? 】

Another unfamiliar term.

[System: Wherever the curse spirit passes, there will be filth left behind.For conjurers, as long as they use spells, they will leave residues, which are generally thinner than spell spirits. 】

【Katori Hiiragi: Understood. 】

No matter what, she can now see this so-called "crumb", which also shows that she has improved in spells compared to before, and she roughly understands that even if she simply perceives spell power, it can be regarded as a kind of Self-help practice.

I don't know how long it took, dozens of seconds, maybe more than a minute, Shikatori Hiiragi suddenly felt a tingling pain on his skin.

Immediately afterwards, another vibrating red pop-up window suddenly appeared in the line of sight.

[System: Warning, your body is being corroded by unknown things, please take defensive measures immediately. 】

Shikatori Hiiragi reacted in an instant, rolled up her sleeves and checked her arm. Although her vision was definitely not clear in the dark alley, she could still vaguely see that the skin on her arm was slowly turning red.

It was just a tiny sting at first, and after a few seconds, the pain gradually increased, and Shikatori Hiiragi could feel something eroding her flesh.

Her reaction was always fast, almost at the same time as the pain was magnified, she knew that if she left it alone like this, she might become a pool of blood like the person she failed to save before.

This may be the way that curse spirit kills.

For two seconds, she still had a little panic caused by the suddenness, but after two seconds, this panic disappeared without a trace.

She knew that at such times, she had to think carefully.

Shikatori Hiiragi closed his eyes, trying to sort out the information in his mind, combining the things he encountered since he entered the alley, and the last death, it seems that he has already had a prototype for the method of exorcising the curse spirit.

The death of the last person did not leave any bones, but only a pool of blood was left.

After entering the alley, she felt the stale air and the poisonous gas she inhaled.

It is clearly in the "tent", but the curse spirit has not yet appeared.

All this seems to indicate one thing.

——The curse spirit is hidden in the air in this alley.

Holding such a reasoning result, Shikatori Hiiragi once again concentrated on sensing the accumulation of mana power. After finally confirming the answer, she asked the system what her current mana power value was.

[System: Mana power: 12. 】

It was quite high for her.

Shikatori Hiiragi brought up the card interface, and turned to the one-star skill card "Spell Bomb" that had the system calculate the success rate last time.

["Spell Power Bullet": A temperatureless fire condensed with magic power, which can be used as a bullet. 】

[Katori Hiiragi: Calculate the current success rate. 】

[System: The skill success rate is being calculated for you. 】

[System: The calculation is over, and if the mana value is 12, the success rate of the skill "Spell Power Bullet" is 66.6%. 】

enough.

Don't tell me, this number is quite auspicious.

Shikatori Hiiragi chose this card without hesitation.

[System: Do you want to use the skill card "Spell Bomb"? 】

[Katori Hiiragi: Use. 】

In the next second, Shikatori Hiiragi saw a few more flames floating in the air in front of her eyes. These flames were blue, but not hot. Even if they were placed in front of her, she still only felt cold.

Shikatori Hiiragi recalled the way she used the skill last time, and imagined in her mind the trajectory she wanted the "magic bullet" to run.

Immediately, the blue flames suddenly rushed towards her.

Unexpectedly, the bullet condensed by the mantra did not hit Hiiragi Shikatori's body, but stopped at a delicate spot on the surface of the skin, and the flame-like mantra was close at hand.

Obviously, they hit something else.

And in the next second, the magic power that has not revealed its form until now suddenly appeared in the air.

The "spell bullet" hit the twisted magic spirit that was mixed in the air and devoured her flesh greedily.

It seemed to have no substance, just a mist of chaotic colors. It had no face, but it had a nose and eyes, and it looked disgusting.

it is as expected.

If this curse spirit is just a cloud of fog, it's no wonder that she can't perceive its specific location, and in this case, everything can be explained.

The poisonous gas she inhaled before was actually not a toxin caused by a spell, but a part of the body of this spell.

Thinking of this, Shikatori Hiiragi suddenly felt like vomiting.

She actually sucked such a disgusting thing into her stomach! !

Fortunately, now that the curse spirit has revealed its body, that is to say, its entire body is gathered here, and the poisonous gas she inhaled naturally no longer exists.

[System: Physical strength returns to average. 】

As the feeling of fatigue was swept away, Shikatori Hiiragi suddenly felt that the air here was not as smelly as before.

[System: Gain skill experience*20, congratulations on upgrading the "Spell Bomb" skill card to Level 2, and you need 50 experience to upgrade to the next level.Skill proficiency increased by *1. 】

[System: Mana 5. 】

When Shikatori Hiiragi heard the notification from the system, he was a little puzzled.

She clearly hasn't exorcised the curse spirit yet, so how could she calculate the experience points?

[System: The level of the skill card is not treated together with your own level. As long as the spell skill is successfully used, the skill card can increase the experience value and proficiency. 】

After solving the doubts, Shikatori Hiiragi also had to face a problem.

Obviously, if it's just a one-star skill card, it's very difficult to get rid of the curse spirit in front of him.

The "spell power bullet" she just hit the curse spirit firmly, but in her opinion, it just changed from invisible to manifest, and did not suffer any substantial damage, or Said to be restored immediately.

If there is no other way, you can only use the two-star card.

Shikatori Hiiragi quickly found a two-star skill card that was drawn before in the card book.

["Mana Power Wave": emit light waves formed by condensing mana power. 】

[Katori Hiiragi: Calculate the success rate of "Mana Power Wave". 】

Although this is not the first time she has seen this card, but when she saw the name of this card again, she still wanted to complain——

What the hell is mana wave?Are you sure it's not a dynamic light wave? !

Just like the "spell bomb" just now, the name is so random!

[System: The skill success rate is being calculated for you. 】

[System: After the calculation, if the mana value is 17, the success rate of the skill "Mana Power Wave" is 31.22%. 】

Obviously, her mana value also increased, but when she switched to a two-star card, the success rate of her skills suddenly doubled.

She didn't know how much mana would be deducted if she failed to use it, but the chances would be few at most. If her mana became negative, she would have to die here.

Shikatori Hiiragi gritted her teeth, although it was a little risky, but it was not hopeless, even if she kept using the one-star card, the curse spirit would not be expelled, so it's better to bet big.

[System: Do you want to use the skill card "Mana Wave"? 】

[Katori Hiiragi: Use it! 】

The familiar fatigue didn't hit her, and the system didn't notify her that she failed to use the skill.

Shikatori Hiiragi knew that there was less than a third chance that he would succeed once!

The white-haired girl's mood suddenly brightened, she slightly hooked her lips, slowly raised her hand, gestured to open the wooden warehouse, and pointed her index finger straight at the cloud of chaotic mist.

She said, "Bang."

The cyan mantra streaked across the air and passed through the center of the mist with nose and mouth. Two seconds later, the mantra disappeared without a trace.

[System: Congratulations on getting rid of the third-level spell spirit*1 and gaining experience*30. 】

[System: Congratulations on completing the task and gaining experience *50. 】

[System: Congratulations on upgrading the system to Level 3, and 200 experience points are needed before reaching the next level. 】

[System: Gain skill experience * 20, congratulations to the "Mana Wave" skill card for upgrading to Level 2, and 50 experience is needed to upgrade to the next level.Skill proficiency increased by *1. 】

Hearing the system's notification sound like a wooden warehouse, Shikatori Hiiragi finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed at this moment, which made her almost fall to the dirty ground.
