The Truth of Magic

195 The Prophet’s selection

“uh, lacus, i think we should just live our own lives.”

look at my weak body, ” Zhao Xu said tactfully. I don’t even have 20HP left. I can’t even take a scratch from the pit fiend.

“No, master. The rare ‘starry cloak’ you’re wearing can make you immune to any non-magic weapon attack.”

it just so happens that the pit fiend doesn’t have a magic weapon, and its natural weapon can’t be considered a magic weapon either, ” said Lux, who had already entered professional mode.

what lacus meant was that zhao xu didn’t have to worry too much about her close-combat attacks anymore.

Normally, most monsters only had natural weapons. Unless their natural weapons could be considered as magic weapons, they wouldn’t be able to deal any close-combat damage to Zhao Xu.

There were very few monsters like the blazing God servant who could bring A +5 dancing sword and A +2 slaughter composite longbow with them.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xu had seen the full set of information on the pit fiend in Reyan’s hands that night, but he wasn’t moved at all. Instead, he just stared at the back of his hand like a tiger watching its prey.

” hey, master, why are you looking at me like that? you’ll be shy. ” Lacus immediately protested.

“i was thinking, it shouldn’t be too hard for the pit fiends to find a magical weapon, right? it’s just that they gave up their natural weapons and their attack power decreased, but that’s enough to break through my defense. He also has a special attack like ‘tighten’. As long as I can’t break free, I’ll take more than 30 points of damage.”

Not to mention, the pit fiend also had a series of spell-like abilities. Any one of them could blast him to pieces.

“hey, lux, it’s dangerous for you to not finish your words.” zhao xu said angrily as he lectured his godly item.

“eh, really? sigh, poor thing, it wasn’t easy for me to find a strong point in master, how could it be rejected just like that.” Lacus immediately started to complain.

then, can you change the way of your ritual, such as me going to fight the ‘lemures’ or something? ” zhao xu suggested.

at this time, he had already remembered the ” lemur ” in the test hall that had been shot in the head by a mage like him.

“Master, I think you’re thick-skinned enough,” Lacus retorted mercilessly.

zhao xu thought about it and agreed. there was indeed a small difference between a challenge level 1 underling and a level 20 pit fiend.

“then what should i do? if i go now, i’ll definitely die.” Zhao Xu said, ” or are you saying that you can turn into a prop for some kind of plot kill? ”

“plot kill?”

“it’s the kind where i walk over and say that i want to judge you. Then, the other party would kneel on the ground and say,’ah, I’m dead’. Then, he would pull out his sword and commit suicide. It’s similar to this plot.” Zhao Xu tried to recall what had happened.

“master, i suggest that you watch less of this modified ‘long epic of arthur’s heroes’. you might lose your intelligence.” Lacus suggested weakly.

[7th-circle godslayer language, 6th-circle summon undead, 3rd-circle fireball, 9th-circle group monster hold, 8th-circle evil light, 8th-circle command shock, 7th-circle advanced teleportation, 6th-circle advanced dispel magic]

zhao xu recited all the spell-like abilities that the pit fiend could cast at will in one breath. no matter which one he recited, it all sounded extremely brutal.

basically, for every spell she chanted, lux’s singing would be lowered by a level.

how to fight?

The pit fiend didn’t say a word, but raised his hand and unleashed a blasphemy.

It meant that within a 12-meter radius, all non-evil creatures that had 10 less health dice than it would die immediately.

“Master, how about this?” lacus obviously knew that she was making things difficult for her. ” i will transform into a divine weapon to help master. ”

“I can use you without the Union ritual? then why do you still want to challenge?” Zhao Xu immediately caught onto the loophole in the other party’s words.

“No, it’s not.”

Lacus was afraid that Zhao Xu would misunderstand, so she explained, ” ” union ceremony. master, you can use me once a day for free. ”

” but you haven’t activated me through the union ritual yet, which means the number of times i can be used is zero. I can only use another method and use it in advance.”

the price for this is that I will be in an overdrawn state for the next week due to being overused by my master, and I will no longer be able to transform into a divine artifact.

Zhao Xu could understand every word that Lux said, but it was a little weird.

But after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xu realized that this was actually a deal that didn’t cost anything.

Unless it was a matter of life and death, he would not be able to use this divine weapon.

Usually, lacus ‘greatest value was to chat with him.

Especially in a place like the floating city where legends were everywhere, an ordinary godly item was nothing.

It was a godly item among godly items, and it also involved Jerger’s first prophecy.

other people would start to wonder if killing zhao xu and obtaining the sacred relic of eternity, then finding a way to get some time-related items, would fulfill the conditions and become the protagonist of the prophecy.

Jerger’s prophecy was the reason why the eternal sacred artifact followed him.

But it was also a curse that would hasten Zhao Xu’s death.

Therefore, under such circumstances, there was not much difference between using it once a week or once a day.

As long as Zhao Xu could use the heaven and earth Gambit skill at the most critical moment, that would be enough.

This also meant that he actually had two chances to use the divine weapon in an emergency.

if I give up on the Union ritual with you, will I not become the person in the prophecy? ”

zhao xu suddenly asked.

lacus, who had been chattering non-stop, suddenly fell silent.

“That’s right.”

she said after a long time.

” by giving up your identity, you can jump out of the prophecy. at the same time, the person pointed out by the prophecy is not the only one. history works on both sides. ” lacus said slowly.

zhao xu looked at the curtain above the stone coffin and felt emotional.

under the influence of the solemn will of death, the curtain was as vivid as it had been in the beginning for a hundred years. as long as the magic power of the hall was still there, it would continue to be like this.

But fate was different.

If someone else who had ” gone against the flow of time ” had come here and received Lux’s approval, it would be the other person who would be ” overjoyed ” after hearing the prophecy.

This also meant that if Zhao Xu lost the challenge, he might not be the first person in the prophecy.

Strictly speaking, he was Lux’s fifth candidate.

whether he died or couldn’t even complete the basic union ritual, lacus would find another place and wait for a new prophet to come.

Failure. This was what Lux meant by “giving up my identity.

“Then prepare to challenge him.” Zhao Xu said.

“hehe, i knew master was a brave genius.” lacus quickly offered her rainbow fart.

a lifestone in exchange for a possible opportunity to obtain a divine artifact among divine artifacts was not a bad deal no matter how one looked at it.

this was also the first time that zhao xu had received an opportunity while he was outside of the floating city.

Most of what he had before had come from the floating city. He had been treated as a training target and was being watched step by step.

This time, with the help of the “altar’s” shielding power, he was able to escape the attention of the floating city’s forces for the first time and enter the curtain of shadows.

obtain the power of another path.

After that, Zhao Xu started to discuss the battle plan with Lux, especially how the two of them would work together.

He then left the stone coffin Hall and headed towards the pit fiend.

“Oh right, master, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.” Just as they walked out of the quarantine door, lacus suddenly said.

“What?”

it’s about the zeroth prophecy about Jerger. It’s also a prophecy about the seven great prophecies. for the first time, lacus said in a nervous tone.

7+1?

well, it was common to see five of the four heavenly kings.

there was nothing wrong with having one more of the seven prophecies.

Zhao Xu gestured for lacus to continue.

“this prophecy is the true beginning of the seven great prophecies. the content is as follows ...”

” when the seven great and immortal existences ascend to godhood and become master gods, the arthur divine branch will not have an easy time. ”

zhao xu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

So every prophecy represented seven new and powerful sovereigns?

The order of Arthur’s gods was divided according to God systems. Each God system had one master God and many followers. As long as the master God was not destroyed, the God system would not die out.

After the death god, Nairo, died, her followers, such as the God of Slaughter and the God of sin, were unable to ascend to the position of the master God. They basically died slowly in Arthur along with the disappearance of their believers.

the divine power of a master god was based on his own divine persona, while the divine power of a subordinate god was determined by the number of believers in the god system.

therefore, even the master gods would fight and kill for the position of the seven great master gods, not to mention the other god followers, the legendary adventurers of arthur, and the powerful creatures of various dimensions.

sisylvana, the third goddess of magic in the fourth prophecy, and Cooper, the God of justice in the fifth prophecy, have both ascended to godhood. lacus explained the two prophecies that had come true.

zhao xu immediately understood what was going on. the last great catastrophe was also the time when a new order of the gods was taking shape.

at that time, there must have been more than two main gods, but most of them had ascended before the god of fate, yegg, died, so they were not within the scope of the prophecy.

according to yegger’s prophecy, only the goddess of magic and the god of justice would become the main gods.

this meant that there were five main god positions left. after that, the order of the main gods would stabilize and no longer change. there would no longer be chaotic battles like the twilight of the gods during the great catastrophe.

then he, zhao xu, was one of them?

No.

zhao xu knew that this was just a possibility, because he had never heard of the complete prophecy.

however, this also meant that the candidates mentioned in the prophecy would be closely watched by all the major forces!

it was not easy to become a god.

what could be more worth it than this?

at this moment, zhao xu started to understand why people from earth would receive help when they transmigrated to arthur.

because the seventh prophecy pointed to a future main god!
