The Truth of Magic

Chapter 688: Ernest's Trial

For most of Arthur's creatures, in high-level battles, a mage at the same level is far more terrifying than a monster.

What is more terrifying than a mage is a monster that can cast spells.

When the monster's body makes up for the static panel of the worst echelon of mages, the problem begins to become unsolvable.

Races like giant dragons that are born with the ability to bring Warlock levels when their professional level increases, can simply be part-time Warlocks and make linear improvements.

The data panel of a monster is certain, and if you know the information, you can target it.

But a monster that can cast spells is unknown, and no one can guess what their real trump card is.

Brushing a body full of buffs to fight monsters, only to be hit head-on with the "Backlash Vortex" of the fifth ring or even the "Great Crack" of the ninth ring, that feeling can be called a dog.

At this moment, Zhao Xu also suddenly realized that he was facing such an embarrassing situation.

What he was facing was a "Mage-type" or "Warlock-type" activated cellar. While the opponent was immune to magic attacks, he could also cast unpredictable spells on him!

This basically means that only state officials are allowed to set fire and the people are not allowed to light lamps.

Originally, only Zhao Xu was able to release the "anti-magic field" and then use the "power of iron heart" to relieve himself of this shameless method of suppression, but now he met someone even more perverted?

Not to mention that it can be seen from the more than ten confinement spells thrown at the same time in that round that this "activated cellar" is not an ordinary legendary monster at all.

Completely out of class.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was really glad that he sent Zheng Xinyun and Lu Yu away out of caution, otherwise he would have been struck by lightning.

Starting cautiously, Zhao Xu slightly touched the "retreat emblem" that had been placed before.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you are currently in the eight-ring magic dimension lock area, the retreat emblem cannot activate the "advanced teleportation technique". 】

In the next second, the "advanced flashing technique" on him that can cross the two major states of the material and spiritual worlds also immediately failed.

Is it still targeted wave after wave?

Zhao Xu was secretly surprised. At this moment, he continued to manipulate the flying power on his body and directly crossed a distance of more than thirty or forty meters.

The tree moves to die, and the tree moves to live.

Arthur's beyond-the-horizon spells are few and far between.

The reach of the melee distance is two or three meters, but for 99% of spells, a distance of one thousand meters is enough to avoid it.

If it is hundreds of kilometers away, it can be ignored 99% of the time.

But on the dynamic prompt bar on Zhao Xu's character card panel, the bright red warning was still clear.

Eight Rings' "Dimensional Lock" spell can create a shimmering emerald green barrier to prevent interdimensional travel.

Therefore, spells that can enter the spirit world, such as any door, teleportation, and even his original illusionary body, as well as flash, will be invalid.

But this eight-ring spell essentially has a radius of effect of only 6 meters. He has traversed such a long distance, but he is still covered so hard that it is as strong as Wuzhi Mountain.

It shows that the body of this activation cellar is probably shrouded in this kind of effect.

Feel free to modify the spell radius?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu became even more wary.

"It seems that you already understand my strength?" The voice in the void laughed even more proudly, "Theoretically, even if a god enters my body, it will be sanctioned by me."

"Or do you think that after Ernest left, most of the gods would die so easily? The gods are not brains, and they will kill them regardless."

This activated cellar seems to have returned to the chatterbox mode, and it seems that there has been no existence to talk about for thousands of years.

Now that Zhao Xu appeared, he explained to him on his own.

Sometimes, if you don't talk to others, it's hard to express your awesomeness.

"You mean? Ernest's secret treasure back then? It was essentially a trap, using the treasure to lure the gods into your body, and then destroy them?" Zhao Xu immediately reacted and asked vigilantly.

He began to reveal the truth of the year bit by bit!

Especially in the process of getting along with Antinoya, the other party never talked to him in detail, let alone took him there.

"You're finally smart. If it weren't for sweeping the wealth of Arthur, how could it be possible to attract the gods back then to leave the Kingdom of God in person?"

"When there are more gods who will suffer in the future, everyone will be smarter. Knowing that this treasure house is a place for slaughtering gods, naturally they will no longer be interested."

After listening, Zhao Xu felt half-hearted.

When he was under True Seeing and still felt the breath of "God" released by the surrounding walls for proof, the other half of him was over.

Because when the goddess of magic Sisilvina appeared, he also felt the breath of this "true god".

That is to say, this activated cellar must have really killed a god, so there is this kind of breath left.

Or it is a true god itself.

Or true seeing powerful enough to deceive him.

No matter which possibility it is, it means that he can only be hanged and beaten.

In particular, this "activated cellar" told him these ancient inside stories honestly, basically declaring that he had no chance to go out.

Does he have a chance to be reborn a second time?

Zhao Xu even considered this possibility at this moment.

"Hey, are you running away? Let me tell you, I just want you not to have too many illusions, so that you won't be able to escape after spending a lot of effort, and you can't bear to be autistic on the spot."

"But I'm telling you, I'm not threatening you, telling you to give up now, young man, work harder, let's continue to play this game of chasing and fleeing."

"Don't worry, as long as you make me happy, I can let you choose a comfortable way to die. For example, I will open a portal and catch a few succubus sisters from the abyss for you to enjoy and end the current Die as a virgin."

Hearing these words, three horizontal lines almost appeared on Zhao Xu's forehead.

He finally knew where the dozen or so "soul demons" he met at first came from!

Even in the abyss, only the bloody battlefield would have so many of them gathered in a narrow place at the same time.

To say that an ordinary ogre dungeon hides more than a dozen soul demons for guarding, isn't this a joke on the plane?

Facing such a vicious activated cellar, I really don't know what kind of torture those gods suffered before they died.

But Zhao Xu immediately remembered that the other party had mentioned a half-dragon woman "Mio"?

Seeing that the other party is leaving?

"Then I don't know your Excellency, what is the price you want me to pay?"

People will always meet stronger people, and it is natural to be slapped in the face at that time.

Zhao Xu didn't have anything to let go of. Facing someone stronger than himself, he just sat down and opened the way.

After all, no matter how they look at it, they all seem to have a little relationship, at least they all know Antinoya.

At the beginning, Zhao Xu called Sister Antinoya and successfully entered the lost heritage of that dynasty.

Now if he can get out alive, he doesn't mind recognizing a mother temporarily.

"This?" Hua Huanjiao didn't expect Zhao Xu to suddenly become so fast, and said happily on the spot: "This is very simple."

"When Ernest created me, he considered the possibility that you Arthur geniuses who have not yet become gods may find this treasure by mistake."

"You are in your early twenties, double elite mage and archivist, and bring along spell guardians, super magic casters and other perverted advances. Although there is no legend, you can still be regarded as a little Tianjiao level. It is an object to be protected. You can’t pull the weeds at will.”

"Let us go directly?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

"Think beautifully."

Hua Huanjiao refused indifferently, "According to his words, if you let you go easily, you will definitely not cherish it, maybe you will have to come back in the future."

"Who makes geniuses always confident."

"But what?" Before the other party appeared, Zhao Xu took this turning point first.

The activation cellar was also a little anxious, and said lightly: "But there is still a way for you."

"The original mode is to be teased by me slowly, tossing to death like a cat catching a mouse. This process may take a few days or a few years, depending on your fate."

"However, you can choose the trial left by Ernest. Once you pass it, you can escape from Ascension, and you can also get a selection from the treasure house."

"But once this trial starts, it will be extremely fast and fierce, and it cannot be stopped voluntarily. There is a possibility of death at any time."

At this time, the activation cellar continued to resume its seductive tone, "So you can play a game of cat and mouse with me first, and then switch to the normal mode when you are about to be killed by me, so that you will not lose money."

Zhao Xu asked calmly, "How did the previous Miss Mio choose?"

"Oh? She didn't choose, I sent her out directly."

"Um?"

"I like this saint who walks on the earth. If you see her pleasing to the eye, don't embarrass her, can't you?" Bao Ku sneered.

Yes, of course.

Zhao Xu could only grin slightly at this unprincipled treasure house.

Chaos, proper chaos.

"I choose trials."

"Now?"

"right."

After he was full, he played "protracted battle" cat and mouse with this vicious activated cellar!

And the gap between the two is almost the same as that of a dragon catching a chicken.

"Hmph, then I want to take back my evaluation of you. It's boring. It's really boring."

As the activation cellar was talking, Zhao Xu noticed that the surrounding buildings began to deform. The originally cracked and irregular walls seemed to have been polished in an instant.

Slowly, the surroundings began to turn into a not-so-spacious "square" secret room, the size of the master bedroom, and the floor became extremely smooth, paved with processed white stone slabs.

The room was empty, and in front of the door were two stone statues, with armor patterns carved on their exteriors, and holding a halberd in their hands, like terracotta warriors.

"In view of your boring performance, I decided to raise your difficulty level to let you know that the villain dies from talking too much."

At this moment, Zhao Xu didn't bother to quarrel with the other party about who was the real villain, so he asked coldly, "Then what is the criterion for passing the trial?"

"It's very simple, kill the monsters in each room, and the door to pass through will be created until you come to the secret room where my body exists, then you have passed the test."

No wonder.

It's just that even the "door" to pass through was temporarily created after he killed the monster.

That clearly does not leave him with a way to exploit loopholes.

Zhao Xu could silently give up the "Wall Piercing Technique" of the fifth ring or the "Phase Gate" of the seventh ring.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu also observed the two stone enemies in front of him.

Clay golem?

Zhao Xu had encountered this kind of golem before in the Palace of Ai Zhuo, where the artifact was hidden, but he solved it easily at that time, leaving no impact, just a weak memory.

As for the two stone statues now, it seems that they are only medium-sized, not the super-large size of the golem.

Zhao Xu activated the "secret vision" silently, but he couldn't see the slightest trace of magic on the stone statue.

The other party is like a black hole of magic, eliminating all means of detection, and even he suspects that the other party has blessed the "mind barrier" spell.

It's completely targeting.

While Zhao Xu was making complaints, he quietly cast a ring of" hand of fire", fixed 1-6 points of fire damage.

Perfect test.

When the same spell really bounced back, the damage wouldn't be a problem for him at all.

Facing an existence capable of killing gods, Zhao Xu naturally wouldn't foolishly think that the other party simply placed two stone monsters here, and without laying any traps for him, he just stood upside down and washed his hair.

However, when this magical flame landed on the stone statue, it left no trace, not even the slightest bit of blackening.

In the next second, Zhao Xu cast the last "magic missile".

At this time, Zhao Xu had reached the upper limit of this one-ring spell. At level 9, he could fly 5 magic missiles at the same time.

Two of them fell on the shells of the two stone statues in turn, and the other three flew towards the surrounding stone walls.

In an instant, the magical missile that condensed its power fell on the two stone statues, and disappeared without a trace, instead of breaking out cracks.

It must be magical immunity.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and understood something.

But who was Zhao Xu? He walked forward without frowning, and pulled out the long sword in his hand. Based on the minimum damage, he directly abandoned all additional damage and stabbed it with the minimum force.

Unsurprisingly, Zhao Xu, who possessed ghost strike skills, easily cut into the stone statue's defense, and the blade sank more than three fingers on the spot.

When a mage encounters a golem and cannot use spells to bully him, he can only change his mind.

Transform yourself into a melee monster and go up to fight.

Or, like him, perfect melee combat.

However, in the next second, Zhao Xu's face became rigid.

Because he realized for the first time that he had received half of the damage, and he felt a tingling sensation at the same position as the stone statue, and blood flowed out at the same time!

It seemed that he stabbed himself with the sword just now!

After gently smoothing the bleeding wound on his abdomen with the "light healing technique", Zhao Xu smiled at the corner of his mouth.

He understood somewhat.

All the damage he did to the stone statue was transferred to himself.

At the same time, his star cloak also automatically activated the effect of halving the magic damage, so he only received half of it.

But because it was his own damage, he couldn't counteract it with reflection.

It turned out that if he caused damage to the stone statue, he would be injured.

It's funny, it's funny.

Zhao Xu smiled.
