The Truth of Magic

528 Difficult to hit, group suffocation

[ PS: the ending of the first chapter should be a nine-ring ‘soul binding spell’ and not an eight-ring ‘soul seizing spell’. ]

Each Lifestone was an automatically triggered ninth-circle spell, complete resurrection.

It could be said that the Lifestone was the ” most powerful ” resurrection method under the supernatural power of ” slaughter and plunder “.

However, the prerequisite for its effect was that the soul was willing to be resurrected.

Just like how if a sailboat wanted to drift, it had to be able to enter the sea first.

The Rogue, who had attacked first after shouting, was about to hand out the poison dagger in his hand and use the special means he had just learned.

Almost all the players present noticed that the skeletal staff held by wizard zhongxia had inexplicably shot out a mysterious green light.

It spread out like smoke, and when it approached, it was like splashing ink, and it wrapped around the Rogue.

In the next second, all the cameras began to move backward.

The death energy that gushed out directly extracted a light blue Soul energy from the Ambusher’s body. It then turned into a miniature tornado and slowly absorbed back into the emerald-green gem on the top of the staff.

However, no one noticed it.

The moment zhongxia released the mysterious spell, the Rogue had already died quietly.

The soul binding technique had only extracted the remaining soul from his body.

There wasn’t any need for any extra movements to use a staff, and Zhao Xu’s actions were basically just a Silent Spell that concealed his movements and sounds.

Finally, with the ” long distance spell ” specialty, he cast the level 3 contact spell ” vampire’s touch ” on the Rogue from a few meters away.

Under extreme conditions, the 60 points of damage instantly killed the Rogue and also gave Zhao Xu close to 30 temporary health points.

“Ah!”

“What’s going on?”

“An instant death spell?”

how can that be? the Finger of Death has already hit the seventh ring.

“Isn’t this special effect very scary?”

as expected of the number one player. A single spell is already so powerful.

“Maybe it’s a low-circle damage spell.”

don’t be silly. Do you think this kind of lineup can be low-circle? ”

For a time, everyone’s discussion was in a mess.

But as long as they weren’t blind, everyone knew that the fingerbone staff in Zhao Xu’s hands was definitely extraordinary.

But at this moment, no one could guess.

That rogue did not return to the Temple of Life creation to be resurrected.

His soul was imprisoned in the gem at the top.

is that kid stupid? why didn’t he choose to revive and make his body disappear? ” at this time, the other rogues who encouraged the rogues to fall into the air first were also surprised to see what happened in front of them.

The number one player, zhongxia, had not obtained a divine weapon in the palace of Azur, and everyone had only found out about it not long ago.

That was why they had been lying in wait for many days, waiting for the moment when this player zhongxia was alone.

When it came to gang fights, there was no need for zhongxia to say anything. The group of instigators behind the scenes would also take action at the appropriate time.

Zhao Xu gently picked up the legendary Necromancer’s staff and gently blew off the smoke and dust from the gemstone. He then slowly walked over to the corpse of the deceased.

as a level 9 necromancer spell, the soul binding spell was a permanent spell.

The spell sucked out the soul of the creature that had just died and imprisoned it in a dark blue gem.

Once imprisoned, the soul could not be resurrected through cloning, reincarnation, resurrection, or even complete resurrection. Even miracle and wish could not do it.

The soul could only be released by destroying the gem or dispelling the magic on the gem.

The creature was still dead.

Suddenly, this group of rogues stood up. The leader of the Rogues was a little short, and he looked at Zhao Xu angrily. you killed our companion? ”

“According to the rules of our Brotherhood, blood for blood, and an eye for an eye.”

In order for Skyfall to find out more about Zhao Xu, they had given him all of their best weapons and equipment, including a highly toxic dagger with a serrated edge that was worth more than 8000 gold coins.

Who would’ve thought that they would flip over the moment they met?

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but smile and ask, ” didn’t we agree from the start that you would be responsible for your own life and death? ”

In the already bustling Fountain Square, the players who had come to join in the fun could not help but burst into laughter.

that’s right, that’s right. You’re responsible for your own life and death. Challenging it once with a Lifestone is worth it.

the face of the leader of the rogues froze. he looked at the corpse under zhao xu’s feet that still hadn’t disappeared and said to his companions beside him, ” hurry up and get that guy to choose to revive and send the corpse back. ”

boss, the cooldown time is at least 20 minutes. It wouldn’t have been so fast even if it had just died. His companion mumbled.

idiot, then you should go offline and contact him. He might have forgotten to choose to revive directly, that idiot. The Rogue player was obviously a little flustered and exasperated.

in the name of a duel, even if the equipment on the corpse was taken away, it would be regarded as spoils of war and could not be retrieved.

The magic weapon ” poison dagger ” that cost 8000 gold coins was already worth four or five warhorses. Anyone would be heartbroken if they lost it.

“Is there no one else to challenge?”

Zhao Xu turned his head around and looked at the crowd that was crowding around the fountain. It was just like the scene after Starfall town had prospered in his previous life.

...

Thanks to the local silver mine, the players now had enough basic equipment and were no longer limited to simple weapons like hammers, wooden clubs, and Spears.

Basically, as long as the profession system had mastered the military weapon specialty’s characteristics, there were already many melee professional players who were carrying tall, rich, and handsome swords worth 50 gold coins.

Some of the Ranger players even carried a compound longbow that cost 100 gold coins on their back.

as for armors, unless the armors affected the spellcasting of mages, causing the failure of arcane spells, or druids who were born unable to wear metal armors, they would not be able to use armors.

Otherwise, in the category of light armor, the thick cloth armor that could defend against Stage 1 armor for 5 gold coins and the leather armor that could defend against Stage 2 armor for 10 gold coins would slowly become extinct.

Even for Level 1 players, most of them were wearing Tier 3 embedded leather armor that cost 25 gold coins.

Those players who could reach Level 2 or 3 and above would be wearing a Tier 4 defensive chain mail shirt that cost at least 100 gold coins.

Perhaps the players didn’t think in that direction, but as long as these well-equipped players were willing, they were already an elite force for the unarmed civilian farmers who only had wooden sticks, wooden clubs, and hoes.

After the transmigration, it was the joint defense team formed by these former players that protected many Earthlings who had no combat ability.

“If there are no challengers, then make way.” Zhao Xu said.

As soon as he said that, the players in front of him unconsciously turned their attention away.

...

Even the domineering half-orc had to lower his head.

“Go!”

Suddenly, the Wanderer who had just been clamoring about taking revenge on Zhao Xu shouted, ” he said we can surround him and attack him. And we’re here for revenge.

In an instant, the remaining few rogue players who had been training together at the thieves ‘Union and who had been killing and robbing together also immediately reacted. They pulled out their thin swords and rushed towards Zhao Xu.

The other two took out their exquisite short bows, drew them into a crescent shape, and shot them at Zhao Xu.

kill him. He must have a few hundred thousand gold coins worth of weapons and equipment. We’ll be rich in an instant.

Realizing that he couldn’t exhaust this Midsummer player’s spell slots first, the leader of the Rogues also shouted, trying to muddy the waters.

that’s right! No matter how many bosses we’ve fought, we’ve never had such a drop rate!

At the same time, a Beastman warrior in the corner also shouted and raised the giant axe in his hand, ready to swing it at Zhao Xu.

Zhang Qi, who was behind him, did not expect the “boss” to stir up the mood so quickly.

The zhongxia in front of him was no longer the original number one player. Instead, he was like a treasure chest covered in gold foil, emitting the luster of wealth.

He also hurriedly called out to his classmates, ” let’s block them together.

zhao xu, who was in the middle of the whirlpool, waved his hand at zhang qi and the others behind him, stopping them from doing anything.

Then, the legendary Necromancer staff in his hand was changed into the instant Super Magic staff through the storage glove.

advanced mirror image [ spell endurance ].

The staff in Zhao Xu’s hand moved slightly, and he started chanting quickly. He instantly cast this Level 4 spell, which was an evolved version of the level 2 mirror.

Zhao Xu was instantly surrounded by eight mirror images that looked exactly like him.

At the same time, these mirror images were all doing the exact same actions as him. They would even cross paths with him from time to time, making it impossible for people to judge who was the real body.

Moreover, the 4th-circle advanced mirror image could generate a new mirror image every round.

This was an ” intuition spell ” that could be released later but arrive first. Even if he was ambushed, he could still successfully release it.

All of the players who were trying to attack Zhao Xu were instantly dazzled.

No matter how they brandished their weapons, they could only find one target to attack.

“nine, what do we do?” The players who surrounded them immediately discovered the problem.

it’s the second ring’s mirror image. Don’t be afraid. Everyone, attack together. These illusions will be shattered with one hit. A player who knew this spell shouted.

The players who had ganged up on him and tried to steal the chicken were very clear about this.

They wanted to fish in troubled waters, so they needed more time than zhongxia. As long as they delayed for a while longer, when the crowd and even the patrol arrived, order would return to this place.

upon hearing this, one of the forest patrolmen immediately released the bowstring in his hand and shot at a random target whose authenticity was unknown.

“Bang!” A strange sound rang out. In the mirror images, zhongxia, who was hit by the arrow but bounced it away, looked unscathed.

“it’s him, he’s the main body!” The few people who reacted quickly were instantly overjoyed.

However, the other arrow that was shot at the same time also landed on the other ‘zhongxia’. It reacted quickly and dodged.

“did you see a ghost?”

“Two original bodies?”

Seeing Yuren’s hesitation, the leader of the Rogues also shouted, ” don’t be stupid, the mirror image also has a defense level, but it’s very trashy, no different from a commoner.

“That’s why we don’t care who’s telling the truth. We’ll just kill him together. Let’s see how many more mirror images he can cast.”

Zhao Xu just laughed to himself.

the mirror image’s defense was at level 10, with body size and agility adjustments.

Zhao Xu tried his best to convince her that his dexterity was now at 18 points, and it wasn’t like the average wizard’s 12 points in dexterity, which was already pretty good.

His mirror image was naturally more resistant.

however, after a violent barbarian cut off a mirror image with great difficulty, he suddenly found that the venue had generated a new ” mirror image “.

this meant that they would only have a one in nine chance of hitting the nine mirror images.

“How could that be?”

“isn’t this too abnormal? Reset?” This scene made the adventurers, who had finally managed to cut off a mirror image, let out a depressed sound.

“No more? Then, it’s my turn?”

At this moment, the nine zhongxia’s in robes spoke. They opened and closed their mouths at the same time. They looked mechanical, but there was also a bit of strangeness, which increased the pressure on everyone’s heart.

“Damn, it’s an instant.” Zhang Qi also sighed. with this spell, you won’t have to worry about being killed by stray arrows. It’s a life-saving spell.

when they saw zhao xu’s question, one of the players suddenly reacted and shouted, ” I have an idea. Just close your eyes and pretend that he’s invisible. We’ll attack him while we’re blind.

“Alright!”

Upon hearing this, the players who had participated in the siege were overjoyed and realized that this was also a way.

They would just treat Zhao Xu as an invisible creature. That way, it wouldn’t matter even if he had a hundred mirror images.

“You’re so confident,” cui lu shook her head in response. ” that way, zhongxia will be completely hidden from them, which means that his attack will only have a 50% success rate. ”

“Half is better than one-ninth.” the class monitor, fang xiyue, nodded. ” the mirror image technique could have been cracked, but after the mirror image was generated, it made up for the lack of endurance. But in fact, as long as they are fast enough and the mirror image’s recovery speed can’t catch up, they can crack it. It’s just that these people are panicking.”

the duration of the mirror image is a round-level spell. According to Mr. Zhongxia’s spellcasting level, the mirror image will disappear after a few rounds. Feng GE added.

yes, so essentially, it’s fine to drag it out. Cui Lu was also worried as she watched everything that was happening in the arena.

At this moment, no one knew that Zhao Xu had used his spell Endurance Specialty. Even if these people spent an entire day here, the mirror images wouldn’t disappear.

When Zhao Xu saw everyone close their eyes and see him as an invisible creature, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

There were too many sneaky players now. They had suffered the loss of invisibility before. Even if they didn’t have a 2nd-circle spell like sparkling dust, they basically had to carry flour with their hands and scatter it if something went wrong.

Zhao Xu didn’t even need to do anything, and he was already able to make these people completely blind.

however, was it really that easy to hit him?

After that, Zhao Xu continued to move the scepter around in his hand and stirred up the mysterious energy in the air. A flood of arcane spells immediately appeared.

“A flash spell.”

In the next second, Zhao Xu’s true form started to switch between the Prime Material Plane and the aether plane.

“Heavens! It’s flash!”

“How do we fight this?”

At this moment, the people who opened their eyes after being called out in shock could only watch as zhongxia rapidly and disorderly flashed in and out of the real world.

Even his mirror image disappeared and reappeared.

This meant that when they attacked Zhao Xu physically, he might have switched to the spirit world.

As a result, in addition to the 50% chance of missing an attack, he had to suffer an additional 50% chance of missing due to flash.

25%!

This was the cruel probability of Zhao Xu’s survival in this group’s eyes.

This wasn’t even the part where he had successfully attacked Zhao Xu and received damage reduction.

the people who were originally restless also stopped at this time.

Zhao Xu smiled. so, it’s my turn now? ”

“We surrender!” one of the players hurriedly shouted. at this moment, he only had one lifestone left and did not want to log out of his character because of this.

“Yes, yes, you can’t kill us in public. The guards won’t let you go.” Another halfling poet. Said something he didn’t quite believe.

“If you release the ‘fireball’, you’ll definitely implicate other innocent players or civilians.”

During the few rounds just now, Mr. Zhongxia was at ease and looked like he was letting them attack him.

Thinking of the power of the third-circle mage’s fireball spell, the level three and four players naturally felt that they could survive it, but the level one and two players were more or less panicking.

“Ha.”

Zhao Xu smiled at the twenty or so enemies who had just attacked him and said, ” when a wizard kills someone, he doesn’t just use fireballs.

Then, he ruthlessly waved the Super Magic instantaneous scepter in his hand again.

Maximize Spell: group suffocation.

[ adventurer xxx, you have been hit by the Level 4 spell group suffocation. You are the target of suffocation. You have received 60 non-lethal damage (10d6). You have fallen unconscious. ]

In that instant.

All of the players who had just attacked Zhao Xu received a lot of non-lethal damage. They all turned into corpses and fell to the ground.

It caused countless spectators to cry out in fear.
