The Truth of Magic

308 the revenge of the mages

Zhao Xu saw that the people from the Watchmen Guild were slowly moving away. After he put some distance between them, he immediately raised his hand and cast a level 2 spell, Cloud Mist.

the ” wall ” series of spells was an outstanding defensive spell for wizards, especially many spells (creation) of the wall series, which would be in effect forever.

back when zhao xu was in the treasure vault of starfall town, he had used his intuition to cast a swift burst spell and cast a stone wall spell at the same time to block the level 9 wizard disjunction spell.

that experience had also allowed him to reap a great harvest. he had obtained a legendary staff and a high-level supreme magic staff.

The ” fog ” series of spells was a mage’s signature escape and group control spell.

if zhao xu was just a normal 1st circle wizard, his only chance would have been to cast the 1st circle invisible mist spell and escape if he had run into those three trolls during the day.

the second circle “cloud mist technique” was even more powerful. In addition to being able to determine the starting point of the cloud and mist at a mid-range, its surface area was also much larger.

the third-circle “stinking cloud” could even make the enemy fall into a state of disgust.

After Zhao Xu finished casting the spell, a wall of mist rose up behind him. The mist was dense and thick, and it was twelve meters long. It was also taller than the surrounding camphor trees and was about six meters tall as a two-story building.

at the same time, the fog directly blocked the vision of everyone two meters away. even if someone shot an arrow in their direction, it would only be a blind shot.

The mist itself was very stable, and did not leak out in all directions. furthermore, the spell’s duration was 10 minutes per level, which could last for more than an hour.

Therefore, without a strong wind blowing at a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, it would be impossible to disperse the clouds.

When the four players who had attacked Zhao Xu saw this, they started to feel a little scared. They had initially thought that they would just die.

He actually used a spell to block other people’s vision. He clearly had a special idea.

“big brother, do you want to forcefully disconnect and lie low for a while?” the mage could not help but ask.

“don’t be silly. if we forcefully disconnect, our bodies will materialize and remain here.” The Rogue said contemptuously, ” do you want our equipment to be stripped when we come online next? If something is really wrong, I’ll just force suicide.”

forced suicide was an ability unique to only a few players in arthur, and ordinary arthur citizens didn’t have it.

but zhao xu just looked at him and didn’t show any emotions.

in fact, it would have been fine if they had come to kill him.

he would follow arthur’s rules and bury the hatchet.

Zhao Xu and the others had just saved him, and it was a little too much for him to turn into a Wolf.

come on, kill the prisoners. You’ll be an evil person too. that wanderer was trying to intimidate zhao xu and was trying to use the remaining power of the “ten commandments for beginners” on the forum to get a chance at survival.

However, his fearsome appearance didn’t cause Zhao Xu’s emotions to fluctuate at all.

Zhao Xu knew better than the other side the key factors that made an entire faction slanted.

when a priest reached level 5, they would have the ‘atonement spell.’ even if they were in a different camp, as long as they were truly repentant, they could use this spell to return to their original camp.

in theory, this kind of spell was to deviate one’s own “camp spirit light.”

zhao xu took out a holy emblem from his pocket and started to chant a religious incantation in a low voice to the four of them.

the rogue couldn’t help but ask,”what is this mage pretending to be a priest and chanting?”

the mage frowned and translated, ” it’s to bless us so that we don’t have to endure the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy of the world, because our souls will be purified again. ”

not to mention the originally unruly wanderer, even the poet. at this time, he could not help but pout. ” how childish. ”

“I’m telling you, you stupid wizard, if you hadn’t reacted quickly, you would have died under my blade.” the rogue continued to mock zhao xu and tried to make him feel better again.

Once the other party took the bait, he would ask for a fair duel again. He was shameless anyway.

from the beginning until now, he had been extremely confident in himself. If it wasn’t for the fact that the other party happened to cast the mirror image technique and tricked them into attacking him a few times.

otherwise, the warrior’s blade would have been able to kill the mage easily, and the watchmen association would not have quarreled with them.

in the end, they would have to pay a few of wizard arthur’s magical items as the price, and the two sides could even shake hands and make peace.

however, zhao xu just pointed at the rogues who had been talking and mocking him non-stop.

at this time, the soul catcher who was standing on the side also moved. its tall body quickly walked to the front of the rogue, and its eyes were full of death.

At this time, the few of them also noticed that the monster’s chest seemed to have been cut open, and the ribs on both sides kept opening and closing, just like the human bone models in medical schools. For a moment, the originally somber atmosphere became a little strange.

The soul Catcher crouched down and grabbed the Wanderer with its long and shriveled claws. It then opened its mouth and sucked.

Suddenly, the Rogue’s face changed, and the power of countless souls was siphoned away, constantly spreading out a dark green evil light.

The whole process was extremely fast, and the soul Catcher that had eaten its fill immediately threw off the Rogue’s body.

” tsk, it’s just an instant death effect. i’ll be a good man again when i resurrect. ” Seeing this, the mage hurriedly shouted to encourage his teammates.

” that’s not right. look, isn’t that boss’s appearance? ” the warrior immediately noticed that something was wrong.

at this time, there was a tiny human-shaped creature in the broken chest rib of the soul catcher. it was constantly struggling, shaking its hands, and its face was the same as the dead rogue.

In an instant, the few people who were still arrogant couldn’t help but feel their scalps go numb.

zhao xu just stood to the side with his hands behind his back and looked at her coldly.

As a challenge level 11 undead creature, the soul Catcher had several major abilities such as energy absorption, imprisoning the main body, spell-like energy, and spell failure.

What it had just used on the Rogue was the supernatural power of ” imprison the main body.

this ability required the soul catcher to launch a successful normal attack first.

the bound people were unable to dodge the attack and were attacked by the soul catcher. if they couldn’t survive the 19 difficulty level, they would be killed on the spot.

what was even more terrifying was that the target’s soul would be absorbed into the soul catcher’s chest and imprisoned. from then on, the target creature would not be able to resurrect.

The Rogue’s first-person view would then change to the view of the little man in the soul catcher’s chest.

only a ‘limited prayer’ or above spell could unseal it, but it would also destroy the soul catcher.

the soul catcher demon had already imprisoned one person and could not imprison anyone else.

it immediately cast a spell-like ability, the truth-seeing spell, on itself and zhao xu.

every time the soul catcher cast a spell, the midget became weaker. after the soul catcher cast the spell five times, the midget disappeared as if it had never existed.

when the other three people saw that the little person was gone, they also started to understand what was going on. however, they were so intimidated that they wanted to curse at zhao xu for being so brave, but they felt like their throats were dry.

They didn’t even have time to react. The Rogue’s body didn’t turn into void.

the soul catcher was born with eight kinds of magical abilities, including ” confusion “, ” truth knowledge “, and ” control of dead souls “. when it used these magical abilities, it consumed soul power.

any soul imprisoned by the soul catcher would be able to use the energy of a spell-like ability five times for every life die it had.

Therefore, these Level 1 players could make them use spells five times, at the cost of using up all the spells and destroying the imprisoned souls.

This was also the fastest way for Zhao Xu to destroy souls right now.

Even the nine-circle ” Soul Control spell ” of the ” legendary staff of death ” in his hand could only imprison the soul forever, not destroy it.

Zhao Xu now had the soul Catcher, so he didn’t want to waste the staff’s energy anymore.

gradually, the soul catcher grabbed the remaining three players one by one, and after using soul imprisonment, he would wear down their soul energy one by one.

By the time it was the last two people, the other party had already gained a certain amount of courage and started yelling at Zhao Xu, saying that he wouldn’t be able to get a single piece of magic equipment from him.

however, they still didn’t have the courage to commit suicide before their souls were imprisoned. they always hoped for a chance to turn things around.

if the other party really had the courage to do this, zhao xu would just use the soul bind spell on the corpse and take their soul.

soul catcher’s weakness was also obvious. it needed five rounds to digest a level one soul, and the difficulty of saving the “main body” ability was too low. it was only at level 19, and it had to hit the target successfully.

It wasn’t like the soul binding spell in Zhao Xu’s undead magic staff, which had a difficulty level of up to level 34 and could kill anyone in the lower or middle classes.

In the end, after he was done with looting the equipment and destroying the bodies, Zhao Xu left with the soul Catcher.

When he returned to the main force, everyone packed up and set off again.

the members of the watchmen guild didn’t ask about the whereabouts of those players anymore. even the kind and lawful priests could understand what zhao xu was doing.

Mr. Gale, why do I feel like your undead creatures have a murderous aura? ” suddenly, xue xue, who rarely spoke to zhao xu, spoke up.

“What?”

” my nemesis is the undead creatures, so i’m very sensitive to this. did you just use your undead creatures to deal with them? ” Xue Xue asked.

before zhao xu could say anything, frostsword interrupted, ” “They deserved it. those players are also the same. we saved them but they still targeted us.”

Frostsword gritted his teeth in hatred, because the most crucial character in this quest was the gale mage.

“in my opinion, they should be crushed to ashes.” Frostsword said.

At this time, the Guild members in the team also nodded in agreement. Fighting side by side could enhance the friendship of the revolution.

Because Zhao Xu had fought twice, it could be said that he had a high enough status in the team.

That was why when he was attacked just now, those few soldiers had rushed over so decisively to help him take down the enemy.

“mr. gale, don’t worry. this grudge won’t end here. as long as we find the magus tower, i’ll extort them once we return to mystra and deal with them again.” frostsword immediately promised zhao xu.

“No need, I’ve already taken my revenge.” zhao xu replied calmly.

hearing this, the guild players laughed out loud.

He thought to himself that the gale mage had underestimated the cunning of some players. Sometimes, only players could find players.

the members of the watchmen guild hadn’t logged off yet, so they didn’t know how far zhao xu’s revenge had gone.
