DOTA’s Madness

After the last attack that triggered a 20-point fire damage bonus was fired, the Undead Sword Master was killed by Zhao Dingguo.

Although in the later stages, the frequency of Mirror Image and Invincible Slash has increased a lot, they are ultimate moves after all, and they cannot be faster than Zhao Dingguo's Astral Confinement. Therefore, after Zhao Dingguo put on the soul ring and spent several rounds of magic, he finally succeeded in killing the undead corpse transformed by this former hero!

Although in real terms, this sword master is stronger than the previous undead giant bear. But in fact, Zhao Dingguo dealt with it more easily.

With the blood-sucking effect of Crazy Mask and the bonus of equipment, the blood volume is not the problem, the main problem is the lack of magic power.

Although the soul ring helped a lot, it was somewhat powerless in the face of skills that were available every four seconds.

In any case, with the restraint of equipment and skills, coupled with the extremely strong strength, defeating this enemy is predictable. Zhao Dingguo was not so arrogant that he immediately turned around and went back to find trouble with the great mage again. He knew that even if he went over now, he would still lose in all likelihood.

In contrast, he was more tempted to check out the drops from the Undead Sword Master.

The spirit bear I killed before even dropped two useful props. Now that I've beaten the Juggernaut, I don't want to surpass him, but at least be on par?

With fervent hope, Zhao Dingguo walked over quickly. But what made him very unhappy was that this sword master seemed to have extraordinary strength, but in the end he only lost one thing.

Special props.

It records some of the essence of sword dance skills and is an undisclosed secret of the master lineage. After use, it can permanently increase Sword Dance's critical hit rate by 5% and increase critical hit damage by 10%.

Note: An extremely rare prop that records the secret of sword dance skills.

Before checking this prop, Zhao Dingguo was still a little disappointed, thinking that the sword master just dropped something stingy. But after actually checking its attributes, Zhao Dingguo became happy. This special skill annotation is surprisingly the same as the astral confinement annotation he received before. It is an additional enhancement to the skill. Like this sword dance annotation. Not only does it increase the critical hit rate by 5%, it also increases the critical hit damage by an additional 10%!

Either of these two top attributes would be a huge improvement for the Sword Master.

Pairing the two together and matching the corresponding soul equipment may elevate the sword dance to a terrifying level. No sword master would be able to resist this temptation.

Zhao Dingguo can be sure that this thing can definitely be sold for a big price, or exchanged for notes of the same level to improve one's corresponding skills.

After putting it away happily. Zhao Dingguo was sure that his trip was not in vain.

However, before continuing to go deep into the Zhongyang Master Tower, Zhao Dingguo first needs to deal with the first big problem he encountered. He has been in the secret realm for some time, and has experienced several fierce battles. The level of ghost plague is already quite high. Continuous damage has also been increased from the initial 30 points to 270 points. Calculating this, it is equivalent to directly erasing the recovery acceleration effect of the soul ring or push stick.

This injury brought a lot of burden to Zhao Dingguo's previous battles.

Fortunately, the effect of the plague here has been weakened a lot after more than six hundred years. And Zhao Dingguo's life recovery speed is very good, otherwise it would be really difficult to survive.

However, no matter what. Seeing that the poisonous wounds of the plague were about to stack up to ten levels and explode, Zhao Dingguo thought about it and decided to find a way to get rid of it. Although the poison with 30% of the maximum damage plus 800 points of damage can no longer poison him, God knows what the next effect of the plague will be after the poison is detonated?

If the superimposed level is cleared, then Zhao Dingguo doesn't mind resisting a poisonous injury.

But what if it only reduces one level and the stacking levels continue to accumulate from the ninth level? Or simply stack ten layers without changing, and then trigger another poisonous injury every few seconds, then Zhao Dingguo will not be able to withstand it. so. He finally chose to use the nameplate ability he had just acquired - Thunder Expulsion!

Of course, the nine-layer ghost plague is also an abnormal state, and it is a very strong one.

After Zhao Dingguo confirmed the activation, a powerful lightning energy emerged from the nameplate, instantly filling his body and isolating a layer of lightning shield. Wait for a few seconds before the light curtain disappears. The ghost plague state on Zhao Dingguo's body has disappeared and has returned to the first level!

Temporarily losing the threat of the ghost, Zhao Dingguo felt that the pressure on his body was greatly reduced.

Thunder Expulsion is indeed a useful skill, but it's a pity that the cooldown time is too long...

He continued to move forward in stealth mode, passing ordinary monsters. After two brief battles with elite monsters and boss monsters that had to be fought, Zhao Dingguo finally successfully sneaked into the central mage tower in Carlo Vinci City. Although the top collapsed in the war more than 600 years ago, the Mage Tower is still the tallest building in the city of Carlo Vinci. Perhaps because it was not completely destroyed, part of the magic circle in the mage tower is still operating at this moment.

As soon as Zhao Dingguo walked into the light blue light range of the purification magic circle emitted by the mage tower, he felt a sense of coolness.

The layers of ghosts that were originally acting on the body suddenly stopped accumulating, and instead gradually faded away as time went by. Maybe there are other effects. In short, compared with the monsters everywhere in Carlo Vinci City, the area within the mage tower is calm, and no monster dares to enter.

After confirming this, Zhao Dingguo could finally relax for the time being.

He straightened his somewhat messy clothes, followed the door pushed open by someone unknown, and strolled into the interior of the Mage Tower. The several small mage towers around them are empty except for the magic arrays set up, and there is nothing interesting to see. If there might be something hidden, it must be in this largest mage tower.

However, as he walked in, Zhao Dingguo found that the place had been turned into a mess.

There are some traces on it, and you can tell at a glance that they were made not long ago. But more traces are hundreds of years old, and most of them are covered with a thick layer of dust. Come to think of it, those ancient traces were from when the ghost plague was used, heroes from both sides searched this place. As for the traces that just appeared, they must have been left by the prophet last year?

This made Zhao Dingguo a little disappointed.

So many people have searched for it. If the source crystal core fragments were really here, they would have been discovered and taken away long ago. However, even though he knew it was unlikely, Zhao Dingguo endured the flying dust and searched the place carefully again. As expected, the result is naturally empty, with nothing!

With some hope, Zhao Dingguo walked along the spiral staircase to the top of the mage tower.

The real top floor has already collapsed. The so-called top floor is naturally the highest point of the existing mage tower. It seems that this was once an observation deck on the upper level of the Mage Tower. Of course, it can also be used as a balcony. Behind the observation tower is a rest room for those responsible for guarding the place. Although the room doesn't look big from the outside, there is obviously a spatial magic array inside. After actually entering, Zhao Dingguo discovered that this was a large house with an internal space of no less than 200 square meters!

This luxuriously decorated house has a full bathroom, a beautifully furnished living room, a study room, a bedroom, and even a small library.

It stands to reason that such a room in a magic tower with a unique spatial structure would not be affected by the collapse of the upper half of the mage tower. But in Zhao Dingguo's view, the room seemed to have been blown by a hurricane or suffered a violent explosion. It looked extremely messy. Especially in the study room, the furnishings inside were almost crushed by the shock wave, leaving only a mutilated corpse, a magic closet that was forcibly cracked open, and an opened, intact box!

"Box?"

Seeing that thing, Zhao Dingguo was shocked and immediately ran over in three steps and two steps at a time.

This box is extremely delicately decorated, with countless runes engraved around it. You can tell at a glance that its texture is extraordinary. But unfortunately, there was nothing in the box except an unknown magic mechanism.

Empty box?

Zhao Dingguo felt disappointed for a while, but then he realized something was wrong.

If this box really contains fragments of the original crystal core, why is there something that looks like a magic trap in it? Moreover, it was different from the one Zhao Dingguo found on Aktura Island at that time. Furthermore, the corpse next to it is the best proof. Most likely, he was unprepared when he opened the box, and was directly fooled by the magic trap inside...

By the way, this corpse?

After turning his attention away from the possible fragments of the original crystal core, Zhao Dingguo immediately noticed that the corpse contained the same powerful energy as other heroes. Combined with the remaining equipment on his body, Zhao Dingguo quickly recognized that this was probably the previous prophet who unfortunately died.

However, how could a powerful man of this generation be killed so easily?

This unscientific!

Zhao Dingguo and other high-level super users have corresponding life-saving means. Zhao Dingguo doesn't believe this prophet knows it. If that were the case, I am afraid that the plot heroes in the main plane would have been killed by the Twilight masters. Unless the means specially set up in this box are so defiant that the prophet has no time to use life-saving means, or even directly makes those means ineffective, even teleporting and escaping back to the main plane!

However, does such a perverted thing really exist?

Zhao Dingguo examined it carefully for a moment and fell into deep thought. After a long time, based on the situation at the scene, Zhao Dingguo really thought of a possibility - it was this box that was obviously of extraordinary texture that reminded him.

What killed the prophet was probably the Ghost Plague!

Zhao Dingguo once heard his mentor Jia Ruo say that the ghosts were so perverted that even the use of the Scourge Legion had to be approved by the Council of Elders and contained in a special plague box. I remember that Jia Ruo also roughly described the characteristics of the Plague Box at that time. Looking back now, although I can't remember it accurately, but comparing it, it is definitely that thing!

If I am unprepared and am directly injected with the highest concentration of ghosts at close range... (Your support is welcome, it is my biggest motivation.) rv
