Chapter 728: 232. Thunderous Battle of Hearts_2
At this moment, Noland estimated the length of the Sea Serpent Leader’s “Mental Health Bar” based on the increase in the degree of deconstruction.
The average single psychic damage value was 170. With 15 instances of psychic damage per second, the psychic damage per second was 2550 points.
Maintaining output for 3 seconds resulted in a total psychic damage of 7650 points.
After triggering the Passive Deconstruction with 7650 points of psychic damage, the completion degree increased by 0.3%.
7650 divided by 0.3% equals 2.55 million.
This number, 2.55 million, should be the length of the Sea Serpent Leader’s “Mental Health Bar.”
Noland Lee needed to maintain the casting state for 1000 seconds, or 16.67 minutes, to defeat the Sea Serpent Leader by “scraping.”
It cannot be denied that deep-sea magical beast leaders are impressive.
Noland pondered that even a seven- or eight-ring Battle Wizard would struggle against deep-sea magical beast leaders in such a deep-sea environment.
After all, even the best combat wizards are only formidable in specific environments, not all environments.
Now the problem was that Noland needed 16.67 minutes to destroy the Sea Serpent Leader’s mind, but the “Strange Object Backlash” that immobilized the Sea Serpent Leader only lasted 15 minutes.
Noland had to think of a way to increase the damage per second of “Psychic Bombardment” or extend the duration of “Strange Object Backlash.”
He looked at Vivian, who barely stopped crying, then glanced at the somewhat uneasy Hadley Grant.
These two companions, whose combat strength was no more than that of a three-ring Battle Wizard, should not be able to help him achieve the goal of killing the target.
Having the two of them around made it difficult for Noland to perform his spells; it would be better to send them away.
“Hadley, take this Mermaid Lady with you and settle her down first. I will come to find you on the boat at dusk.”
Noland’s tone was calm and full of confidence.
Just as Hadley was about to say something, Noland spoke first:
“I want to stay here and get rid of the sea serpent. Don’t worry about me, just take the Mermaid Lady away with peace of mind. I will be back on time.”
“Get rid of… the sea serpent…” Hadley shuddered in shock, “But you’re only a First Rank Wizard…”
Noland smiled:
“Yes, I’m just a First Rank Wizard, but don’t forget what I told you on the boat. The Ulnas Circle’s way of judging wizard ranks have obvious loopholes, such that I, an unconventional wizard, did not get the correct evaluation. Don’t ask any more questions, just go, things will get turbulent here soon. It’s not too late to go now.”
Hadley saw that Noland was composed and did not seem to be joking.
He opened his mouth but didn’t say anything more, gesturing to the tearful Mermaid Lady to follow him.
Noland wrote a few lines in Merfolk language in his diary, letting Mermaid Vivian follow Hadley away.
Vivian hesitated because her parents had warned her in their lifetime to stay away from humans and other intelligent creatures.
But at this moment, it seemed that she had no better choice than to trust Hadley and Noland.
Noland urged the hesitant Vivian with pen and paper, finally convincing her to leave reluctantly.
As a deep-sea wizard, Hadley could swim freely in the complex cave environments, and so could Mermaid Vivian.
The two of them gracefully passed through the cave entrance, entered the tunnel outside the cave, and left along the path Noland had taken.
Before leaving, Hadley sorted out his Magic Pouch, moved the items Noland might need to a separate pouch, and left them for Noland.
Naturally, Noland wouldn’t refuse the other’s kindness, took the pouch, and fastened it around his waist.
As the two of them left, a smile appeared on the corner of Noland’s mouth.
“Hehe, Sea Serpent Leader, now that I don’t have any teammates holding me back, I can unleash my full power to attack you.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Noland chuckled to himself in his heart.
He locked his gaze on a corpse in Magic Vision and sketched the blueprint for “Evil Blast.”
[System Message:]
[You are beyond the casting range of “Evil Blast,” and this casting attempt has failed.]
Noland slapped his forehead, cursing himself for being stupid and forgetting one thing!
His straight-line distance to the Sea Serpent Leader was around five thousand meters.
His own casting distance was “Spirit” attribute value times 10, which was 400 meters.
He could cast “Psychic Bombardment” on targets beyond the casting range using “Mind View” solely due to the “Mental Beacon” that relayed the “Psychic Bombardment” for him!
For spells like “Evil Blast,” “Enslavement of Deceased,” “Death Two Finger,” their casting range was still 400 meters, and Noland couldn’t use the “Mental Beacon” to extend the casting range of these non-mental spells.
When Noland saw the corpses around the Sea Serpent Leader, he knew he could hit the opponent with “Evil Blast,” but he forgot that he was not within the casting distance.
“I can’t be blamed for this. I can only blame the “Mind View” and “Mental Beacon” for being too useful, that I forgot about the casting distance aspect. A wise man can still make mistakes.”
Noland chastised himself in his heart, reaching out to touch the Blood Haven on the back of his left hand.
Now that “Evil Blast” couldn’t be used due to the distance issue, it was time for Plan B.
Noland swiped his right hand on the back of his left hand and took out an elemental energy reactor.
Noland had tested this before – in a seawater environment, the elemental energy reactor could release a lightning energy ball.
