Chapter 54 Wizard (2/2)
Anyway, the restriction on the use and distribution of alchemical items should still be in place. The deities had yet to descend into the mortal realm, and the churches currently held unprecedented power; no one dared to use alchemical weapons out in the open right now.
_Grey dwarves?!_
Soran squinted as he melded his silhouette into the shadows.
A few hundred meters ahead, a dozen or so grey dwarves were surrounding and attacking someone who seemed to be a wizard. Some of them were holding ancient firearms, the main reason Soran was attracted to the scene.
_Bang! Bang! Bang!_
Gunshots broke out one after another, bullets flying straight toward the wizard. However, they all either got deflected in different directions or stopped and dropped to the ground when they reached within a one-meter radius around the wizard.
_Greater Mage Armor?!_
Soran sneaked closer to get a better view while giving off a heavy atmosphere; it was his first time seeing a high-grade wizard in combat since he came to this world. The wizard should be Grade 3, probably Level 10 or above, and did not seem to be a human.
The group of grey dwarves were attacking him with all their might, but all of their attacks were repelled the moment they entered the one-meter radius, be it their swords and axes or the flying projectiles.
This was the protection barrier used by wizards. There were two types of barriers: the ”armor” type which blocked incoming attacks and the ”deflect” type which, as its name implied, deflected incoming attacks. The Level 1 spell Mage Armor could withstand 20 points of damage, which was not even enough to completely mitigate a slash from Soran. However, the durability of the barrier increased proportionally to the caster's profession level and spellcasting score. If high-grade wizards cast the spell, even the low-level barrier would be able to withstand at least three of Soran's attacks. Without using Rare-grade weapons, the most damage he could deal in one strike was around 20.
Many close-quarters combatants back in the game called the barrier an”AT Field” (an energy field which could block almost all attacks in an anime), and people often whined about how spellcasters were cheats because their barriers were simply that powerful.
