The Truth of Magic

Chapter 702 Lord of the Abyss

Glancing at the indescribably swollen limbs of the Giant Bull Demon after this increase in strength, Zhao Xu was still quite satisfied, as if he was looking at the big fat pig he raised at home and was about to kill it for the new year.

More than 70 points of strength, even in Arthur is rare.

It is only now that he knows that the legendary creature "Activation Cellar" he met in the ogre cave before.

In other words, the mythical creature "Activation Cellar" transformed by Emperor Ernest, even if it is the legendary basic version, has 80 points of power, which is the standard for all living beings.

No wonder the activation cellar used the wall to press him hard, which made him, a "hercules" with 50 strength, feel powerless.

They were 30 points short of strength, just like Zhao Xu, who was now at 50 points, bullied a soldier with 20 strength.

To say it was a hanging beating would be an understatement.

At this time, the giant bull demon with 76 strength is also like this.

Zhao Xu didn't worry about it any more at this time, and he no longer entrusted his hands to this mysterious place of prayer for the remaining methods.

Just take out Antinoya himself just in case, and hand over the five-ring "Extraction Gift" scroll to him.

It's not that Zhao Xu is not strong enough to cast this spell by himself.

Mainly because he cheated a little too much.

The rule of "Extraction Ritual" is that for every 4 caster levels, 1 point can be transferred.

So a level 20 mage can transfer 5 points of power attribute.

But even if Zhao Xu piled up to level 33, he could only transfer 8 points of power, so he immediately threw himself at the "level 80" "Extraction Ritual" scrolls written by Antinoya.

Zhao Xu, who was at level 10, rolled out of the peak level 37 snowball by relying on "Realm of Decline and Death".

Antinoya, who was 30+, rolled a snowball of 80+.

These mages all have a bright future.

Only relying on this thing can just cover the scale of 20 points of strength.

The level of the caster is the highest barrier that limits the "Extraction Ritual".

Ordinary mages, even if they can find a demon with explosive attributes, they don't have the ability to transfer so many attributes.

Of course, the "life energy" and "money" that need to be paid when casting a spell are also expensive, compared to buying a magic item with enhanced attributes before, it is not worthwhile at all.

So this "gift of extraction" spell was essentially saving Zhao Xu's "equipment slot."

And, it can also exceed the upper limit of +12 legendary magic items!

In an instant, Zhao Xu spread out the scroll, and two huge magic circles lit up between him and the giant bull demon.

As the sound of Zhao Xu's incantation and prayer resounded through the void, the giant bull demon also began to show a panicked expression.

However, at this moment, it did not dare to move, as if there were no shackles on its body, and it was powerless.

It can only look at everything around with extremely terrified eyes.

This gigantic giant, who needs a lot of living creatures to feed himself for every big meal, and who can attack cities and villages effortlessly, is aware of his own insignificance for the first time.

In other words, the coercion given to it by this mysterious place is even more terrifying than facing the abyss lord.

And relying on Antinoya's scroll, Zhao Xu didn't have to worry about his spell being exempted by the opponent.

Naturally, there is no need to consider the means of magic backup.

For example, if some mages are not capable enough to perform the gift of extraction, they can give up some things in exchange for an increase in immunity.

For example, let the donated demon track the recipient's location and magnificence, such as the "care skill", that can +1 save.

Perceived through the subject's eyes and ears, it is +3.

Telepathic communication with the subject is +5.

The most exaggerated is the text message suggestion once a day, which can give +7 saving throws.

From Zhao Xu's point of view, it was all rubbish. Sooner or later, such things would have to be vomited back twice as much, and they would have to be used as cows and horses by the devil.

A life essence condensed by an extremely pure black cloud also began to slowly seep out from the giant bull demon's body, forming a diversion and rushing into Zhao Xu's body.

As the essence passed away, the giant bull demon's body became weaker.

On the contrary, Zhao Xu looked at his strength with joy.

54, 55, 56...

It was even more exaggerated than the weight after overeating, jumping to the peak of 69 points.

If Arthur really divides the attribute value into an extraordinary realm, or the level of divine power, then 60 points should be a good echelon level.

It's no wonder that among the six major attributes, strength is the easiest to improve, and it really is fast and fast to brush up.

At the same time, Zhao Xu also knew that Arthur had many ways to replace other attributes with strength.

For example, "strength" replaces the mage's spellcasting attribute "intelligence", that is, relying on "strength" to cast these.

At the same time, strength replaces agility for defense, replaces charm, and so on.

This is equivalent to concentrating all resources on one or two attributes to improve and obtain the greatest economy.

In the end, after 16 points of strength were completely drained from the giant bull demon, it seemed to be languid, and fell limply to the ground.

"Okay, let's undo what this giant bull monster just got." Zhao Xu added by the way.

In an instant, the +6 intrinsic bonus from the wish spell, the +12 enhancement bonus from the legendary power belt...

One by one, they disappeared from the giant bull demon's body, which also reduced the attributes of the giant bull demon to the bottom!

At this time, Zhao Xu also had to feel emotional.

If this "Extraction Ritual" bug usage method really spreads, it will definitely be a demon with an outstanding attribute like the abyss, with a deadly sword hanging above his head.

In addition to the six major attributes, the remaining dozens of skills can all be transferred with a permanent "enhancement bonus" in this way.

This is more durable than the buff spells that are cast every day, and it is also the only way for Zhao Xuri to pass.

This time, he and Antinoya just came to the abyss to pick six monsters to extract their attributes.

In the future, I have to come to the abyss again in person to extract the skill points of dozens of demons.

"Send this giant bull demon away," Zhao Xu said.

Forget it, after drawing so much power from this demon, he was too embarrassed to turn his back on him and kill him on the spot.

What's the difference between this and killing and looting.

However, in the next second, the whole body of the giant bull demon turned into foam, slowly seeping into the extremely dark ground.

It was as clean as if it had never existed before.

This giant bull demon is dead.

In other words, it was also the place of prayer, the first time he violated his wishes, instead of sending him away, he was killed on the spot.

At the same time, during this process, Zhao Xu didn't even feel the slightest stench of the devil.

More importantly, during this time, he has seen enough demons die.

After they died, Zhao Xu basically counted the ways in which the corpses disappeared.

The unpopular way of disappearing corpses is that the flesh and blood decay instantly after death, leaving a disgusting smell, and then the bones will be preserved, but they will shatter when touched.

Or the skeleton of the devil broke free from the flesh and blood, walked three steps, and then turned into dust.

Like the corpse of the "Demon" just caught, the opponent's corpse is also a very unpopular method-it doesn't have any special effects, and it disappears like the corpse of the main material plane.

This is the essential reason why they were able to study the corpse.

But there has never been a kind like the Giant Bull Demon just now.

It's as simple as garbage collection.

"It's dead?"

Zhao Xu turned to ask, but did not continue to implement his plan to brush attributes.

"Yes, it has returned to the embrace of the abyss."

The icy voice of the place of prayer replied.

"But if I'm right, send this giant bull monster away?" Zhao Xu emphasized, his gaze also became severe.

"This is the way to send off the place of prayer." The voice was still indifferent.

really.

It's really a bit big.

He didn't dare to continue talking about the remaining five methods of brushing attributes.

Zhao Xu stopped what he had just done, and began to look vigilantly at the dark void that could not be seen directly.

There is no physical existence. If you don't adapt to this claustrophobic space, you will go crazy in less than a day and a half.

But what Zhao Xu needed most was patience.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Zhao Xu asked.

The wishing technique can be called Arthur's most unlimited spell, but it is also the most restrictive spell.

There were no taboos in the wishing technique in ancient times, and its power depended on the ability of the mage.

Therefore, it has caused many problems to the stable operation of Arthur, including the stability of the magic net.

In particular, two mages had the same wish, but one succeeded and the other failed.

Even the same mage cast two wish spells with the same wish next to each other on the same day, something went wrong.

The "wish technique" at this time is not only an extremely delicious cake that can obtain excess benefits.

It is also a powder keg that explodes at one point.

Except for the "wishing technique" of the gods, under the blessing of divine power, it is real, can realize "conservative limited wishes", and cannot interfere with the "divine power" of the wishing technique.

Arthur's mage, when performing the wishing technique, was terrified and only dared to use it after thinking hard about words, so the effect was not guaranteed.

Every time you perform a wishing technique, it's like entering a casino and using your life as a bargaining chip—gambling your life.

That's why the Goddess of Magic made a decree later, specifying some "safe ways to use" the wish technique.

No warranty is given for "wish" beyond safe usage.

And these safe ways are that they have been confined by the divine power of the goddess, and will no longer be distorted by the will of this world.

Other excessive desires will be distorted by the will of the world.

Moreover, the more detailed the description is, the more "attributes" and "adverbials" are added to restrict the "wish", the easier it is to be misinterpreted by grasping the ambiguity of a certain position.

On the contrary, the vague possibility of me wanting to be handsome has vaguely come true.

The behavior of the place of prayer just now was obviously "distorting" Zhao Xu's wish.

He wanted to send the other party out of this area.

But the "send away" of the giant bull demon was to send him to death.

That naturally includes another point.

He wants to "send himself away", and it is possible to encounter the same scene?

"May I ask, which layer of the abyss is this?" Zhao Xu has also become cautious now, no longer the mentality of just wandering around.

"Is this what you wish for?"

Suddenly, the place of prayer didn't answer directly. Instead, it made a detour and asked Zhao Xu instead.

this?

Zhao Xu couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

Didn't the other party tell him clearly, you are ready, I'm going to start misinterpreting your meaning now.

A blurted "yes" was forced into the stomach by Zhao Xu.

Sure enough, planes are very cunning after they have will.

In an instant, a light flashed in Zhao Xu's mind.

He said directly, "I want Lux to appear in front of me."

Appearing in front of him is a very conservative choice, and what the other party can misinterpret is just which "Lax".

But in this way, Zhao Xu could slowly narrow the scope and clarify the limits of the ability of this place of prayer.

Sufficient information is the stage for a mage to display his skills.

However, this place of prayer suddenly erupted with roaring sounds, as if there were countless clouds in the sky above, thundering and bursting the void.

After a long time, it came a sentence.

"Sorry, this wish cannot be granted."

"Why?" Zhao Xu blurted out immediately, regardless of the risks he would encounter.

Because it was an answer that was completely beyond his expectations.

This place of praying can obviously be misinterpreted and realized, but it didn't do so?

In just a few seconds, this mysterious place was shrouded in a cloud of suspicion that was difficult to see clearly, and Zhao Xu was deeply shrouded.

"Because the other party has not condensed from the abyss at this moment."

Um?

can't.

from the abyss.

Condensed!

As a "Lacus" who lost her memory, she is also part of the abyss?

Slowly, Zhao Xu's ears began to hear the profound songs he had heard, as if they were carved on ancient stone slabs, and only the oldest classics would mention them.

Slowly, Zhao Xu heard it.

This mysterious ballad is singing the history of the appearance of the entire abyss!

Including the alternation of different demon races, how to change from the original Orbis demon to today's Tanar'ri demon dominating the abyss.

No.

As the sound of the ballad progressed, one after another representing the secrets handed down from the abyss to ancient times, bombarded Zhao Xu's ears one by one.

He even felt that after hearing this, whether he could leave the abyss alive was a huge problem.

big brother.

He just came to the abyss to brush up his attributes, and to see if he could find Lux by the way, and then take it home.

He didn't intend to get involved in the muddy water of the abyss at all.

It's not the tanar'ri that dominate the Abyss.

Instead, Abyss chose Tanar'ri.

That's what the ballad told him.

By the way, I also told him that in the development process of the entire abyss, there are countless factors that seem to be the hard work of demons.

Behind the scenes are traces of the will of the abyss.

Including why the fourth layer of the great abyss appeared!

Including the origins of many abyss lords!

Including the spider queen Rose, who was not transformed into a Tanar'ri demon by Corellon, the main god of elves.
