Chapter 274 Picking A Ranged Ability
Spear Throw as the name suggested, allowed Lenny to make a spear with his white flame.
Each spear that was made and thrown was equal to 200 Magic points.
Lenny could not help but frown at the points that was necessary to accomplish this.
After all 200 magic points was a lot.
At the moment, he only had…
<Magic points 2020/2120>
At advancing to the fourth rank of the Lesser demon realm, his magic points had become 2000. 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎
However, the killing of Negative Spirits for these past five days had been giving him 10 magic points per Ruby eyeballs he ate.
The second Ranged attack was Fireball.
This attack took 250 magical points to activate.
This allowed him shoot out fire balls from his hands.
Seeing the price of it nearly made Lenny cough out blood.
250 magic points was just too much.
He looked at the last option, it was the Fire dart.
The fire dart consumed 100 points.
This was the cheapest one.
The fire dart basically allowed him to throw little darts that looked like knives.
Lenny could not help but think of how Incredible this ability would have been if he had gotten it as an assassin in his former life.
After all, these were ten fire shaped knives to just 100 points.
Besides, he could shoot them out whenever he wanted.
Without a doubt, he was going to pick this one.
However, he suddenly thought of something.
“Satan system, can you rune a quick simulation of what using each ability against my most recent opponents would be like?”
<Affirmative: Running simulation now>
A simulation against the giant worm was first made.
The Spear was not bad. However, that was all it was, a Spear.
It Pierce through the worm’s head.
If this was a simpler opponent, one spear would have been enough.
However it wasn’t.
Lenny realized that he would have to use the Spear again and again before he could end the Worm.
On the contrary, the simulation showed that it would have worked perfectly well against the Giant Dog and Cow.
One hit to the center of their heads and their death was assured.
Next, Lenny tried the simulation for the Fireball.
What he saw made him salivate on the spot.
The moment the fire ball reached the worm, it burnt and roasted it on the spot.
The best path of it was that the white fire did not stop until the worm was destroyed.
Some of the fire even spread amongst other places.
In fact, Lenny did not have to use the fire ball again on either the Cow or the giant dog.
The moment they advanced too close, the fire touched them too.
However, once the allocated magic points ran out, so did the fire.
One blast of the fireball managed to kill the Giant worm, the Cow, and chop off half of the Giant dog.
In fact, Lenny estimated that if he were time the Fireball at just the right angle, he would kill all three of them in one shot.
This was actually very good.
The only down side was the amount of points involved.
It was just too disheartening.
Next, he tried the Fire Dart.
The results were as expected. Against creatures of such size, it was miserable.
All it did was irritate them.
Although, with the right target point, he was able to kill the cow and the giant dog.
However, that had taken five darts each.
All of which had to land on their skulls.
For most people, the darts might have been difficult to use.
However, Lenny had precision that would most definitely embarrass most mathematicians with his level of inhumane accuracy.
His only worry was that if he was fighting multiple opponents of this level at a time, it would be quite difficult to bring them all down.
After all, even his incredible precision ate at mental cognition.
It was like throwing a ball into a net.
The first, second and third might most definitely hit, but as time goes on, the possibility for him making mistakes would undoubtedly increase.
Even with his improved physical and mental strength.
At the end of the day, there was still a finite amount of it.
It was like the experiment carried out in his former world of a really big body builder that was asked to lift a simple 1 kg dumbbell.
The experiment was to see how many times the body builder could lift the dumbbell, and the bodybuilder claimed that he could do it for a million times.
However, the man stopped at exactly 25000.
That experiment was an example of muscle carrying load and getting weak over time, no matter the weight involved.
It was the same thing for Lenny.
After all, the mind was also a muscle.
There were only so many reps he could go with it.
He was not so foolish as to believe that because of his grown abilities and his capability to be able to make a lot of darts, that he could fight forever.
There were times that he too got tired.
Of course, his mental strength was terrible to fathom, however, when fighting such large creatures, it was not the best to be used.
And Lenny had a feeling that this was not the last of these creatures.
Lenny could not help but sigh at this.
According to the Satan System, he could only pick one for now.
He looked at the dashboard for the system.
The icon requirement for magic points being 5000 still stared at him in the face.
This icon had popped up the first time he consumed negative Magic from the negative Spirits.
At the other side of the dash board was the icon for the mission concerning consuming plant life.
This was obviously not the time for that one.
There was suddenly a little rumbling and Perseus patted him on the shoulder for him to turn about.
The moment Lenny saw what was before him, he instantly knew which ability he was going to pick.
However for now…
