The Truth of Magic

290 chapter 289 reunion

the lich, who had lived for countless years, was emitting a terrifying aura.

That was the Lich’s innate aura of fear. All adventurers with HP less than 5HD, which meant that if they were lower than Level 5 and looked at the Lich, they would be affected by the level 3 spell of the same name, fear, and fall into a state of panic.

zhao xu was also immune to these effects because of his undead creature characteristics.

At this moment, Zhao Xu’s thoughts were highly focused. If he didn’t handle this properly, he might have to hand over his Precious Lord of the Undead power right here and now.

no matter how excellent a spellcaster was, if they lacked channels, they were often unable to avoid the arrival of aging and death.

At this time, some spellcasters would choose to become a Lich, as long as they went through an extremely evil ritual called the Lich’s life case.

the biggest advantage of becoming a lich was that he could perfectly inherit the abilities of his previous class, which was also what most spellcasters cared about.

The whole ritual was to create a Magic Life case to store life energy, and only by destroying this life case could the Lich be officially destroyed.

otherwise, even if the lich died on the spot, it would be resurrected around the phylactery within one to ten days.

This was also the reason why countless legendary hero stories in Arthur chose liches as the main characters. It was convenient for the resurrected liches to return and become the final Demon King in the next movie.

To become a Lich, one had to research the creation specialty ‘creating strange objects’, and then pay a total of 120000 gold coins and a large amount of energy before they could carry out the ritual.

compared to the level 9 spell ” traceless time, ” the price was huge, and it was also a strictly limited evil alignment.

as for the good faction’s ” great lich ” and the legendary ” half-lich “, they were rare existences in arthur, even rarer than legendary priests.

as for demiliches, they were often called demigod liches because they were extremely powerful.

Zhao Xu turned around and looked at the Lich floating in the air with disdain. He decisively used his death Perception ability again and opened his right eye.

when the lich saw zhao xu open his originally closed right eye, he immediately felt a powerful will of death looming over his soul, and it almost made him kneel down in worship.

the lich wanted to cast a ‘protective spell’ to protect itself, but it couldn’t sense any spell cast by the mysterious man before it.

At first glance, the other party gave him the feeling of an undead creature.

however, he couldn’t tell what kind of undead creature it was when he tried to distinguish it carefully. instead, it looked more like a living creature.

it was certain that the man in front of it was not the undead creature that resembled humans the most, the vampire.

Zhao Xu’s right eye was also exuding the power of the god of death. All sorts of possibilities started spinning around him and slowly became a scene that flashed past his eyes.

the phylactery in your multi-dimensional bag is already damaged. Why don’t you repair it? ” Zhao Xu said coldly. At this moment, he was looking at the Lich in front of him with a cold gaze.

After hearing Zhao Xu’s words, the Lich immediately lost his composure. He didn’t think that the secret he had been hiding so deeply would be found out by this kid.

How could the other party know that he had a phylactery with him?

And he even knew that the phylactery was damaged?

A phylactery was the most precious treasure of a Lich, and it was usually hidden in the most heavily guarded and mysterious place.

“and you are?” The Lich had a look of disbelief on his face. He was about to ask Zhao Xu more questions, but when he felt Zhao Xu’s superior gaze, he couldn’t continue.

Zhao Xu didn’t say anything else. He just turned his head around in disdain and continued walking. As he walked, he said, ” “your path is correct, but you either become a demigod lich or use the legendary spell ‘broken phylactery’. otherwise, if i attack your phylactery without permission, i’ll be seeking death. don’t think that the ancient liches are too stupid, as if you’re the only one who’s smart.”

After the Lich heard what Zhao Xu said, he was even more excited. His skin that had been so withered that it was only skin and bones now looked as if it had a healthy glow to it.

its voice was trembling a little, and it wanted to run up to zhao xu to ask for his help.

But when it saw that Zhao Xu wasn’t paying any attention to it, it didn’t dare to go up and disturb him. For a moment, it could only stand there and watch respectfully as Zhao Xu disappeared around the corner of the street.

Zhao Xu walked all the way to another corner before he finally let out a sigh of relief.

as expected, in the job of a mage, intelligence was the most important.

He had just used Death Perception to see him being destroyed by the Lich’s disintegrate after the conflict between him and the Lich.

After that, he switched between four to five different routes and finally used Lord of the Undead to escape.

this time, he even saw an even longer future. at that time, he would directly order the lich to reveal the location of his phylactery.

it was only through fate that he knew that this lich was actually a very courageous lich. he directly carried his most important phylactery with him.

however, this was also a measure that the other party had no choice but to take.

This was because the Lich had recently provoked a legendary undead creature, who directly threatened him to hand over his phylactery to save his life, or he would be hunted down until his phylactery was destroyed.

That was why the Lich had been trying to split his phylactery into two. That way, even if one was broken, he could revive with the other.

zhao xu had just told it two ways to split its phylactery.

One was to use a ‘legendary spell’ to divide the phylactery, and the other was to become a ‘demigod Lich’, where the phylactery could be divided into eight soul gems. As long as one gem existed, the resurrection could be achieved.

That was why Zhao Xu had pointed out such an earth-shattering truth, and it immediately made the Lich start to doubt his identity.

Moreover, there was a huge riot in the entire city today. Under the stacking of various factors, the other party did not dare to test him at all.

after this experience, when zhao xu went into action again, he would just observe first and make sure that there were no problems before taking action. in fact, if there were any special situations, he would just use the invisibility spell to get over it.

after all, not everyone had the true knowledge skill on them every day.

Just like that, Zhao Xu walked for about an hour or two before he finally arrived at the ” tall tower ” that was within his field of vision.

The tower was eight stories high, and there was a bell tower at the top. The pendulum clock from the mechanical realm kept ticking the second hand.

After Zhao Xu observed and judged the situation, he realized that even though there were undead creatures around the clock tower, not a single undead creature had come close to it.

It was strange that the tower seemed to be more like a church and could Repel Undead creatures.

however, he didn’t think too much about it. taking advantage of the fact that the effect of his invisibility had not disappeared, he walked directly toward the heavy double-opened iron gate and then squeezed through the gap.

but as soon as zhao xu stepped in, he felt that something wasn’t right, and he immediately heard the sound of something flying through the air.

“Lesser agility burst!”

zhao xu didn’t waste any time and immediately cast this spell.

Instantly, time seemed to flow extremely slowly around him. The arrow that was supposed to arrive in an instant seemed to be moving bit by bit with endless hesitation.

it was a pity that zhao xu hadn’t been able to cast swift burst, which was a level 4 spell. at that time, he would have had enough extra time to cast it.

It was only a 2nd-circle spell, so he could only use it to move a certain distance, not even a few meters.

without his teleportation boots, zhao xu couldn’t use them to teleport, so he could only walk on his own.

At this moment, he was feeling a little vexed because the undead creatures were already immune to attribute absorption, strength, agility, and intuition damage. Even his own vigilance had been lowered. He didn’t expect to be attacked by long-range weapons as soon as he entered the door.

it was extremely rare for skeleton warriors to have bows and arrows.

Luckily, he was still invisible at this moment, so Zhao Xu immediately walked forward until he reached a corner where he could easily escape and then stood firm.

Then, the aftereffects of the spell made him feel dizzy and completely paralyzed Zhao Xu’s movements.

“Bang!” with two sounds, the two arrows hit the door frame, the tail feathers of the arrows still trembling.

“that’s strange. The magic alarm went off, and judging from the speed of the footsteps, the enemy should have reached this position even if they were invisible. Why isn’t there any?” At this moment, ashvich walked out with a frown. She was holding the light crossbow in her hand and deep in thought.

wang ningwei also walked out from the shadows with a light crossbow in her hand. she was also frowning.

“I say, aren’t you guys a little too polite with this greeting gift?” It was only then that Zhao Xu removed his invisibility and started complaining to the two girls.

“Ah, zhongxia.” Wang Ningwei was shocked at first, but when she turned around and saw that it was Zhao Xu, she was overjoyed.

even though ashvich didn’t say anything, the way she looked at zhao xu right now also made her feel quite touched.

“You shouldn’t have come in.” At this moment, Wang Ningwei said in a slightly reproachful tone, ” and congratulations, you’re already Level 5. Ashvich and I have just reached Level 3.

“so you guys won’t even let me know in the qq group.” zhao xu laughed.

Indeed, they could only be resurrected in this half-plane, and the undead creatures there were of very high levels. It could be said that for every player, it was not much different from directly canceling the account.

actually, I came to this interdimensional space for an additional mission. I came to find you guys on the way. I just wanted to exchange information. Zhao Xu comforted them so that they wouldn’t feel too burdened.

the thing he hated the most was to be kind to others.

“Just send us a message on QQ and we’ll tell you everything,” Wang Ningwei said.

Zhao Xu also laughed. I did send it to you guys, but you guys didn’t reply. I’m here to use the item positioning spell to find you.”

“hehe, ningwei asked me not to reply to you before we delete our accounts or leave. it’s to prevent you from being a male chauvinist and forcing your way in to save us after you find out the truth.” ashvich said.

Zhao Xu thought about it and agreed. Once the other party didn’t reply, he would probably think that he had given up. After all, he couldn’t get out of the game and it wouldn’t affect reality.

but zhao xu couldn’t help but look at wang ningwei. could she have also guessed that everyone would transmigrate in ten months?

Or rather, the other party really believed in this set of information that he had deduced from the game, but how stupid was that?

as zhao xu thought about this, he started to tell them some of the information that he had gotten into the room. they started to exchange information.

Wang Ningwei and asvich started to tell Zhao Xu what they had been through.

In the end, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but look up at the top floor of the tower that was many levels away after he finished listening to the story.

There was a portal there!

It could lead to the outside world, and it could also lead to the shrine where the ‘Amber coffin’ was stored!
