Duck Bomb Build

The [Flow of Battle] skill of the [Battle Mage] class will be changed as follows:

Before Change.

[Flow of Battle]

Recovers 3% of mana for every 1% of health lost.

↓

After Change.

[Flow of Battle]

Increases natural mana regeneration speed by 20% for every 1% of health lost while in combat.

※Natural mana regeneration speed cannot exceed 350%.

The [Blood Magic] skill, a dedicated skill for the [True Blood] race, will be changed from a toggle to an active buff skill.

Before Change.

[Blood Magic]

Can consume health instead of mana required to use ＇Magic＇ skills.

※When consuming health, the cost of magic skills increases by 2x.

↓

After Change.

[Blood Magic]

Allows you to consume health instead of mana required to use ＇Magic＇ skills for 30 seconds.

※Cooldown 25 seconds.

This was the announcement that came up after the emergency maintenance.

It was clear that this emergency patch was a targeted nerf of the build created by Snow Mage.

First, the Blood Magic skill was changed to an active buff type.

Looking at the duration and maintenance time, the buff effect of Blood Magic itself can always be maintained, but it became impossible to maintain and use the continuous magic [Elemental Cannon].

Next is the Battle Mage’s skill, [Flow of Battle].

It was the core skill of the build created by Snow Mage, but it couldn’t avoid the nerf either.

Current time is 10 PM.

I logged in after the maintenance, but it’s awkwardly late to start a raid.

I told all the party members that I would rest today, so I was thinking of farming for the remaining time.

A [Rank Reset Ticket] was in the mailbox as compensation for the patch.

This must be Deron’s intention to cut off the limbs of this build and switch to another job.

I waited for Snow Mage to log in at the plaza in the center of the capital city.

About 5 minutes passed.

Just as passing users were glancing at me about five hundred times, Snow Mage logged in.

Yeon-i Princess-[Snow-nim. I’ve been waiting for you.]

Snow Mage-[Huh. Were you waiting for me?]

Yeon-i Princess-[Yes, so come quickly and tell me.]

I send a message and wait for Snow Mage to come.

The ice-type magician wearing a blue robe feels cold just by approaching.

I turned my gaze away, looking at the chill that fell on my skin.

It was Snow Mage.

“Blood Demon King-nim!”

Even though the build she created was dead, Snow Mage’s expression was bright with a smile.

“Did you check what was modified?”

“Yes.”

“How is it? Can it be applied to the second build you envisioned?”

“Yes. It doesn’t matter.”

Snow Mage said that and sat down next to me.

A cold chill rushed in.

“Did you receive the Rank Reset Ticket?”

“Yes.”

I answered Snow Mage’s question and took out the Rank Reset Ticket item from my inventory and showed it to her.

It was an item sent by Deron, and it was also the only item that could save the current Yeon-i Princess.

“Shall we use it right away then?”

“Huh? Right now?”

“Yes. I’ll tell you the job next to you, so please select it right away.”

“Th, are you sure? It has to be at least as good as the Fire Build wizard…”

“Don’t worry. It’ll be stronger than that build.”

I nodded with a worried expression and used the Rank Reset Ticket.

At that moment, a small light flashed and covered my body, all the jobs I had disappeared.

“I used it.”

“Then choose like this.”

The job tree that Snow Mage called out was as follows.

Ice Caster x2

Mado Scholar x2

Rune Caster x2

Chronomancer x2

I tilted my head while selecting the build.

All of these selected jobs were support-oriented jobs that did not have powerful dealing skills.

Are you telling me to be a supporter?

As I thought that and sent a doubtful gaze, Snow Mage smiled lightly and continued to speak.

“I think I know what you’re thinking. But don’t worry. It’ll be very powerful this time too.”

“Umm…”

I nodded, looking at my job.

Well, there was no need to be depressed in advance.

I couldn’t know how good that glass cannon build was before I used it either.

“The important core job is Mado Scholar.”

I listened to Snow Mage’s explanation and checked the job skills of Mado Scholar.

[Surprise Box Production]

Consumes mana to produce disposable magic engineering tools.

No one can predict what will appear at this time.

[Essence of Magic Engineering]

50% increase in damage of skills with the magic engineering tag.

[Magic Engineering Mine!]

Installs a magic engineering mine with non-attribute damage in the place you specify.

The installed mine automatically explodes after a certain period of time, causing damage to the surrounding area.

※Duration 1 minute

[Magic Engineering Bomb!]

Creates a magic engineering bomb with non-attribute damage and throws it forward.

If there is a skill object with a magic engineering tag around the bomb, [Chain Explosion] is activated.

[Master of Magic Engineering]

When producing magic engineering items, the number of items completed increases by 30% probability.

[Mado Scholar’s Armor Mastery]

Maximum mana + 10% when wearing cloth-type equipment

[Bomb Maniac!]

Adds 500 fixed magic damage per exploding object when [Chain Explosion] is activated.

“This is just a job for PVP.”

“It looks like that if you only look at the job itself. But things change if there is equipment made with magic engineering.”

“Magic engineering item?”

“Yes, this is it.”

Snow Mage said that and took out a small bracelet from her arms and showed it.

[Magic Engineering Toy Generator]

Equipping Restriction Magic Engineering Level 10

Bound on Equip

Bracelet

Can use [Magic Engineering Toy Creation] skill.

[Magic Engineering Toy Creation]

Consumes mana to create fun magic engineering toys.

※Duration of summoned magic engineering toy 3 minutes.

“This is a toy item…”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s a toy item. But the toys summoned with this item are judged as magic engineering objects.”

I put the small bracelet that Snow Mage handed me on my hand.

It was a plain brass bracelet, so it wasn’t stylish, but it seemed to shine for some reason when I wore it.

After all, a perfect beautiful girl looks pretty no matter what she wears.

I smiled contentedly, looking at the bracelet.

“Go ahead and create one.”

“Um…”

[Magic Engineering Toy Creation]

Use the magic engineering toy skill as Snow Mage said.

Paaat!

Then, with a small light, a small duck quacking doll fell down.

[Quacking Duck]

A toy with the essence of magic engineering.

It can move until the spring on its back is completely unwound.

Cute.

Quack! Quack!

“How is it, cute, right?”

“It’s cute… but wearing this item will lower the overall ether level…”

“Ether grade doesn’t matter. After all, this build will deal damage with fixed damage. Shall we go test what the build is like?”

“Yeees-”

Certainly-

I was feeling the need to see with my own eyes how this build works.

I moved places with Snow Mage.

Of course, I didn’t forget to call a healer to help with this experiment.

“Is it a toy play today?”

The one who was called out was Chloe.

He sighed, looking at the duck quacking doll walking around on the floor.

I crossed my arms at the sight and shook my head.

“It’s not just a play. This is an experiment.”

“An experiment?”

“Blood Demon King-nim. It’ll be faster to show you than to explain it.”

Certainly, that would be easier to understand.

Snow Mage said.

This build requires some preparation time to work.

Before the battle starts, use all the mana you have to summon the quacking doll.

Immediately after that, drink a mana potion and summon the quacking doll again.

After that repeated work, use Blood Magic to continue summoning the quacking doll.

The lacking health is naturally replenished by the healer.

The duration of the quacking doll is 3 minutes.

The number of dolls summoned just before that reached 200.

Quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack

Quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack

“Huk…”

The quacking dolls started to spin around me and cry out tremendously.

The sound of one animal was not loud, but it became very noisy when it became several animals.

“It’s now, Blood Demon King-nim. Give orders to that duck army.”

“Orders?”

“The summoned object can give simple orders to the owner. Ah, don’t forget to use the [Time Acceleration] buff on the ducks.”

I nodded at Snow Mage’s words and reached out forward.

“Go ducks!”

Quack!

Snow Mage’s words were true.

The 200 ducks that received my order started waddling and running.

I used the wide-area buff [Time Acceleration] on top of that.

Kiiing-!

Time accelerated momentarily.

The ducks that were waddling and walking advanced towards the hunting ground at a very fast speed.

The 200 ducks scattered in all directions.

I used the [Magic Engineering Bomb] skill on top of that and scattered it.

“Take this!”

Whiririk-!

The quickly flying magic engineering bomb reached the back of the duck army and exploded.

Bang- Pubububububeong!

A light that spreads out in an instant.

The effect of the huge explosion covers the entire hunting ground.

By the time the huge effect started to disappear, I could finally check the appearance of the hunting ground again.

The 200 ducks didn’t just disappear.

All the monsters that were respawned inside had disappeared, and all the objects in the hunting ground were destroyed and rolling on the floor.

“Huk…”

“How is it? Are you satisfied?”

This was not just an entertainment build.

I looked up at Snow Mage and opened my mouth blankly.

What is she imagining on a daily basis that she can make such builds so easily?

“Thank you so much!”

I laughed loudly and hugged Snow Mage.

If it weren’t for Snow Mage, I would have gone back to being a fire wizard and been teased by Hwarang.

This will work.

It was a build that could be used enough in raids.

“Th, there, Blood Demon King-nim?”

“Yes?”

“Would it be okay to… to pat your head?”

I raised my head from Snow Mage’s arms and looked up at her.

Snow Mage, who was smiling awkwardly as if she was slightly troubled, was trembling with her hand raised right above my head.

I smiled brightly at Snow Mage.

She is the one who made such a great build for me.

If it’s Snow Mage, it’s okay to pat my head as much as she wants.

“Here, go ahead and pat me.”

I lowered the cone hat I was wearing on my head and closed my eyes.

“R, really? Are you really going to let me pat you?”

“Yes, of course.”

Swish swish-

I could feel a cool chill from Snow Mage’s hand gently stroking my hair.
