The Truth of Magic

Chapter 521 One ball decides life and death, the damage explodes

At this time, the wife of the deceased who revealed the traits of the rat man was still screaming shrillly without knowing it.

Slowly, her cry also began to approach the sound of a mouse, sharp and short, which made people feel flustered.

It's just that under the horrified expressions of everyone, the rat man seemed to realize something. It touched its face with a hint of disbelief, and screamed at a high decibel.

"I didn't kill it, I really didn't kill it." It seemed to be explaining, "I don't know why I became like this?"

"You actually showed yourself?" White Dragon Serus didn't expect that the other party would reveal his body after such a contact.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, looked at all this indifferently without the slightest sympathy. He said in a slight but loud tone, "The lycanthropy can transform into a beast head and a human body, which is a half-human half-rat hybrid form. Or fully animal form."

"But only natural lycanthropes, or infected lycanthropes like you who realize that you have been infected, can transform into two forms at the same time."

"And panic or anger will prompt the lycanthropy to transform unconsciously."

The audience who had been watching the show felt thumping when they heard it, because the other party had completely transformed from a half-human half-mouse form into a "rat" the size of a big boar, and his original clothes were instantly torn.

"Grab it!"

Seeing the dire rat kicking its legs and preparing to escape, the captain of the patrol team yelled loudly on the spot.

As for the cooked duck, he naturally wouldn't let the duck run away.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu took off his gloves slowly and prepared to tidy up.

It wasn't the riot of the middle-aged dragon clan like Cyrus beside him, it was just a dire rat, and the patrol team in the small town didn't know how many rats would be strangled every year.

Ratmen can be said to be the lowest level of existence in the lycanthropy sequence. Whether it is its full body "dire rat" form or its hybrid form "half-human half-rat", they are all scum of challenge level 2.

It is the "rat man" template for professionals, which is only "+3" level, which is much inferior to "+8" level vampires.

Sure enough, when we saw the half-human half-rat just now, everyone didn't dare to approach it because they hadn't had much contact with it. At this time, they officially saw the dire rat, which is not uncommon in the countryside. Even if it is an adventurer without a weapon, I would Just copy the bench and get on.

After a few rounds, the ferocious rat was firmly suppressed by the crowd. After a full meal of old punches, it was already dying and lost all mobility.

"Pull it back and torture it."

At this time, the captain said in high spirits, "Look at why she killed her husband. See if there are still her accomplices in Falling Star Town."

At this time, the captain seemed to see a big meritorious service in front of him.

He immediately showed a flattering expression, and was about to turn around and invite Zhao Xu to go with him.

But in the next moment, his body that hadn't turned completely was bounced away, as if he had been hit by an air cannon in the front, and hit the table next to him hard, his bones almost fell apart.

"team leader!"

Suddenly the team members exclaimed.

They immediately noticed that at the position where their leader was standing just now, the smoke and dust that filled the air after the impact had not completely dissipated.

And there already stood another skaven of hybrid form, which was even thicker and larger.

More importantly, the Rat Man was fully armed from head to toe, the rapier at his waist even gleamed with magical light, and his scale armor was also exquisitely forged and full of color.

"careful."

"It's the culprit!"

"Contain it."

All of a sudden, the cries came and went, unless the descendants of the lycanthropy were born, there would be no lycanthropy in the world for no reason.

So everyone realized in an instant that this lycanthropist was probably the source of infection from the murderer just now.

Several brave warriors and barbarian players rushed forward with their long swords in their hands.

Arthur, the ones who are not afraid of death are at the forefront, apart from demons and devils who can be resurrected, they are the players.

It's just that these few players retreated with injuries within a round or two.

After a flash of swords and swords, the simple armors of these players all had holes pierced by thin swords.

"It's hard stubble!"

A warrior player who vomited blood shouted, "The other party must be a professional. With the superimposed Ratman status, it may exceed level 10. Be careful, everyone."

"President, shall I go up?" Vivienne asked Zhao Xu for instructions, slanting her shoulders forward.

At this time, Vivienne had already stood in front of Zhao Xu according to the holy avenger, guarding against the possibility of attacks from all around.

And the strong rat man who attacked, glanced at the people present in the tavern, and muttered to himself: "They are all a bunch of trash."

A patrol member who was knocked to the ground looked at the rapier wound on his body and cried loudly: "I shouldn't be infected."

Immediately afterwards, he cried bitterly, and after Zhao Xu listened, he wanted to explain to the other party that there was no possibility of contracting lycanthropy if it was not a direct contact injury such as biting.

And Nu Lang, the barbarian player who had just started berserk and wanted to pull Zhao Xu, did not participate in the initial arrest process.

At this moment, seeing the sudden appearance of this new Ratman powerhouse, he was also ready to move.

After Nu Lang glanced at the druid companion below, he found that the other party waved his hand to signal him to calm down, but he himself shook his head.

Then the barbarian Nulang unwrapped the package on his back, ready to take out his weapon and trump card from it.

And Zhao Xu in the back, after waiting for several rounds, was sure that except for the barbarian who still had a chance, the rest of the locals, even if they still had fighting power, had already been given the one-hit-kill characteristic of the strong Ratman. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move forward.

He shook his head, and said to Vivienne who was still preparing to fight, "Help tie up these two rat men."

Nulang's companion, the female druid Hong Fengye, was also lurking behind Zhao Xu at this time, and it seemed a little strange to hear his incoherent words.

The Ratmen haven't been knocked down yet, so let's talk about binding.

However, the next moment.

Zhao Xu raised his hand lightly, slapped the palm of the extremely fierce Ratman from a distance, and said, "Secondary strong acid ball."

In an instant, two six-centimeter "acid balls" appeared on Zhao Xu's open palm.

After they condensed and formed, they aimed at the strong ratman and shot away.

Like a flash of sparks, even though the rat man didn't know what the two acid balls in front of him were, he still tried his best to dodge them.

It's just that the accuracy of the two of them was exerted by Zhao Xu's combat awareness. With Zhao Xu's indomitable attack ability, their trajectory was extremely tricky and difficult to guard against.

They just penetrated into the ratman's body through the armor.

With a scream, the Ratman, who was still in high spirits, collapsed in an instant.

Afterwards, Vivienne had already approached her, and took out a hemp rope to tie her up.

"What kind of spell is this?" the player Nulang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

If any spell was so powerful, the gate of the Mage Association would have been broken by the players long ago.

"Secondary acid ball, a ring of spells." Zhao Xu said softly, without further explanation.

Looking at the people who had recovered from their senses, he also turned around and walked back to his room, as if he didn't care about the next merit settlement.

"What kind of spell is that, so fierce?" For a while, the rest of the people present also slowly came to their senses.

A rat man who knocked down more than a dozen people and even a patrol team, fell on a one-ring spell like this? If it is a four-ring spell, then they can accept it.

The crux of the problem is that what the other party said is a link!

A ring of spells that can be cast by low-level to 1-level mages.

At this moment, the druid Red Maple Leaf, who had been silent all this time, silently walked to the side of the stunned Rat Man, observing the huge acid burn wound on its chest.

"The secondary acid ball is the legendary 'ball series' spell. It is not a core spell, but it is very famous for its powerful combat power. It can be said that many powerful mages have stacked unimaginable damage through the ball series of spells. "Druid Red Maple Leaf explained.

"Is it tall?" The barbarian Nulang was still looking in surprise at the direction where Zhao Xu's figure disappeared, and thought to himself, running away after pretending, quite aggressive.

"No." Druid Red Maple Leaf explained, "Compared to the enhanced version of the 'Acid Ball' spell with level 4, the damage of these secondary balls is not high."

"For example, the one cast by the opponent just now, the first level is only 1-8 damage, every two levels of the caster level increases by 1-8 damage, until the 9th level caps 5-40 damage (5D8)."

Although the barbarian player doesn't understand spells, he is still clear about these basic injuries. He couldn't help complaining: "Although level 9 is barely passable, it's too bad at this early stage."

Druid Red Maple Leaf shook his head, "The key point is that this spell ignores saving throws and resistance. It only considers long-range contact, that is, it takes damage when it hits. The point is, how did that mage rely on this very ordinary damage range to directly Knock down a strong Ratman who is almost level 10."

Talking more than Red Maple Leaf, everyone present fell into deep thought.

"Housekeeper, who was this mage just now?" the team leader asked on the spot.

"This?" Suddenly, the housekeeper who was scared to death just now showed a hesitant expression, hesitant to speak.

"What do you have to hide?" The team leader said angrily on the spot: "It's really a big shot, it's also a one-night transit, and I will take care of you here until you die."

Hearing the threatening words, the housekeeper thought for a while, then said, "My lord, this mage, is the master of the land next door."

"In other words, he is our titular lord of this land."

Suddenly, a player who had just returned to the pit was a little confused, "What do you mean? What kind of riddle is this?"

His companion pushed his arm angrily, "Keep your voice down, the other party is our number one player, Great God Zhongxia."

"The lord of Falling Star Town, the president of the Mage Association."

"I go!"
