The Truth of Magic

660 Chapter 660-spell attack and defense

Why didn’t he launch a sneak attack when they met? why did he have to explain the cause and effect clearly before he attacked?

At this moment, Zhao Xu’s mind was filled with thousands of thoughts as he wondered if the other party’s mental corruption was starting to act up.

After his intelligence had increased, the greatest effect on him was that he could think faster and more calmly every time.

At the critical moment, he was still able to calm down and clarify the cause and effect.

When he thought about how strange this giant stone castle was, Zhao Xu started to suspect that this ” measure ” was part of the ritual that the other party had to complete.

It pointed directly at the target of the ‘evil god’ that he needed to please.

Zhao Xu’s gaze was focused on the staff. The tip of the staff was made from a sparkling gemstone, and there weren’t even any engravings on the straight body of the staff. It looked like a natural wooden staff.

However, he could immediately tell that it was a staff of power.

As long as a few shots were consumed, he could cast ten spells, including magic bullet, ray of decay, monster hold (Level 5), spell nullification barrier (Level 6), and more. This could greatly expand the spell preparation area of a mage.

at this time, the staff was already bursting with arcane light. it was obvious that the plague mage’s first move was to activate the spell in the staff.

This made Zhao Xu focus his attention even more and he scanned her body repeatedly.

At this moment, the deformed man might have been under the protection of the evil god named Cthulhu, which directly blocked the detection power of his ‘arcane vision’, and he could not see the specific details.

the good thing was that zhao xu had already taken a closer look at the magic items that the other party had. there wouldn’t be more than three or four of them, and the wand that was worth 210000 gold coins was the most valuable of them all. it was worth more than the rest of the magic items.

However, as he pondered, the light in the staff did not extinguish. Instead, it grew brighter and was close to taking shape.

In the blink of an eye, the spell would be released.

At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He waved the magic storage ring on his finger and activated his most powerful eight-ring spell!

“Advanced agility burst!”

It was an instinctive action!

It was clear that Zhao Xu would be a step slower to cast any spell, and he would be able to do so right after his opponent cast the spell. But in that very second, he was able to use this spell that only had the elements of speech to gain the upper hand!

At the same time, the starry cloak’s item pet, dream, on his shoulder instinctively used the power prayer and cast a healing light on him, which could only recover 1 HP, thus activating the recovery stun effect of the medical knowledge spell.

This was something that Zhao Xu had already done instinctively, but now that he was in a dangerous situation, he had to reevaluate his actions.

It had to be said that after knowing that he had completely released the spell and was not interrupted by the other party’s intuition spell or suffered the special backlash of this space, the heavy stone in his heart slowly relaxed.

A mage whose background was unknown was a threat that was even more terrifying than a nightmare.

But now that he had a total of six seconds to cast target movement and swiftness, Zhao Xu knew that his real problem had only just arrived.

A Virgen was as famous as the dossiers and had the title of ” terrifying, ” so even his mentor Antonya had given him a ” not bad ” comment.

Naturally, it had its unique overbearing qualities.

As an advanced Arcanist, it was already amazing that a Corruptor could increase the level of their Arcana with every level.

not to mention, it had a class ability at every level.

However, this advancement was the same as Zhao Xu’s Super Magic Model Archmage. At Level 1, he would be able to master the most powerful and domineering ability in the entire advancement.

Zhao Xu’s Super Magic evocation was a Super Magic control that could be achieved at the cost of temporary damage to his attributes.

On the other hand, a corruptist was a ” corruptive spell ” that could sharply increase the difficulty of spell immunity.

Their spells carried the power of the source’s contamination, which was even harder to resist!

Most spellcasters had to use their key attributes to determine the difficulty of their spells ‘immunity.

For example, Zhao Xu’s wizard level was determined by his intelligence, while his priest and scroll level were determined by his perception.

The spell immunity difficulty was 10+ circle number + key attribute adjustment value.

With Zhao Xu’s current 29 (+9) intelligence, even if he cast a level 5 arcane spell, he would only be able to escape from level 24.

That was why when Zhao Xu had learned the ‘spell level up’ specialty, he had only put a little effort into the ‘rings’.

It was simply too difficult to increase one’s attributes.

Even the level 20 Zhao Xu, compared to the current level 10 Zhao Xu, would only get three additional attribute points, which were 12/16/20, which increased his intelligence from 29 to 32.

However, the difficulty of a Virgen’s immunity was not determined by intelligence, but by half of the corruption points.

A spellcaster with 50+ corruption points was equivalent to 25 Intelligence modifier points, which meant that he had at least 60+ intelligence.

The difficulty of a level 5 spell immunity was a full 10+5+25=40.

If Zhao Xu’s current constitution was 29, then he would still be 30 points away from death if he kept his corruption points at a safe level of 80+.

Then the difficulty of his Level 5 spell immunity would be level 55!

Not to mention, the additional spells of the Corruptor would depend on the 10+ drop value, not intelligence.

When it came to casting additional spells, even the most common 40+ debuff was equivalent to a wizard with 50 intelligence.

At that stage, the spell slots rewarded were even more than the spell slots of the class itself!

As long as he reached Level 1 and had 50+ corruption and debuff points, he would be able to raise his strength to the maximum.

From that moment on, countless spells in the entire spell system, such as ” Finger of Death, ” which were difficult to be exempted from, began to show their brilliance.

Even with Zhao Xu’s Guardian of runes, it could only ignore spell resistance, but immunity was still a huge problem that he had to overcome.

in essence, dirty casting could create a ” difficulty exemption ” of dozens of levels, which was the real meaning of turning ordinary spells into treasures.

Furthermore, the factors required to match them were extremely low!

Even Zhao Xu’s Supreme magic control was only able to do so because he had enough Supreme magic specialties to support it, especially the key ones like spell endurance and spell twins.

...

However, a corruptist’s ” corrupting spell ” only required a spell. Even a wizard born in a village could use this ability to create miracles!

even a poisoner only had to consider suppressing their own contamination value to avoid reaching the upper limit too quickly.

At the same time, corruptist could also obtain ” secret ” abilities at an even-level, one of which was blood magic.

it was a weaker version of zhao xu’s ” supreme magic control, ” so he didn’t need to use a higher ring level to make it a supreme magic.

The only difference was that only one metamagic ability could be applied, and it would only cause physical damage at a fixed point. At the same time, it could not be enhanced beyond the highest-circle spell that could be used.

However, even though it had been weakened so much, it was still a top-tier “powerful ability.”

After using a full second to review the power of a Virgen, Zhao Xu became even more cautious.

This meant that the spell caster in front of him had the possibility of a one-hit kill!

Even if it was just a single-Circle Seven color spray, the enemy could use it and force Zhao Xu to fail his immunity and shock him for a round!

No matter how weak a spell was, in the hands of this corruptist, it was the most powerful and terrifying means.

In particular, corruptors ‘own spells were regarded as ” evil ” elemental spells, so it was easier to use special means to improve the spellcaster’s level and break through the spell resistance.

...

For example, Zhao Xu’s Holy skull emblem had increased the level of the spellcaster of necromancy spells by one and also increased the effect of his field of decay.

take a deep breath!

Even though Zhao Xu’s Swift burst could greatly slow down time, Zhao Xu could still clearly sense that the power Magic staff in the other person’s hand had become a few times brighter.

If he didn’t act now, he might waste all the time he had spent thinking.

Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and glanced at the clear stats of his immunity stats on his character stats.

[ strong toughness: level 38 (9 classes +8 Constitution +5 resistance +5 morale +1 performance +10 luck) ]

[ reflex: rank 33 (3 classes +8 dexterity +5 resistance +5 morale +1 performance +10 luck +1 agility acceleration) ]

[ will: level 38 (13 classes +4 perception +5 resistance +5 morale +1 performance +10 luck) ]

[ morale: 1st-circle faith, resistance: Great sage robe, performance: enen stone, luck: Wealth of relic explorers)

Even the monsters that were close to the legendary stage couldn’t compare to Zhao Xu’s current level!

But Zhao Xu still didn’t have any confidence when faced with the polluters ‘level 50 or level 60 spell, which had legendary immunity!

A level 20 mage’s immunity from his class was only at rank 6 endurance, rank 6 reflex, and rank 12 will.

And Zhao Xu was relying on his double elite, which was a double benefit, his frequent part-time jobs, and his basic qualities that weren’t inferior to a level 20 wizard!

attack?

Defend?

The weights on both ends of the scale kept spinning around in Zhao Xu’s mind, asking him what kind of strategy he should use to face such a terrifying wizard.

There was no doubt that at this moment, he and the opposite Virbius had the possibility of killing each other in one blow.

However, it was inevitable that the other party would have some trump card. If they failed first, they would easily fall into a passive position.

It was wrong!

Zhao Xu’s mind suddenly cleared up, and he realized that the reputation of a Virbius strip had given him too much pressure!

Corrupt casting was a class ability that could not be used on a staff.

No!

Zhao Xu immediately rejected that possibility.

At this time, the other party had not finished casting the spell. Unless he was prepared to move to resist and stop the movement with silence, he could not eliminate the possibility that the other party’s magic staff was just a smokescreen!

In particular, the deformed mage already knew that he knew the ins and outs of the corruptist, and it was likely that he had considered this and deliberately pretended to cast a spell with a staff.?

He wanted Zhao Xu to let his guard down and think that the other party didn’t have the spell defile effect. Then, he would be greedy and use an attack spell first, which would cause him to be killed by the counterattack.

At this moment, it was as if there were countless rings in Zhao Xu’s mind, all of them trying to figure out the possibilities of each other.

Forget it!

In the end, the idea of not gambling his life still won!

“Mercy of the martyr!”

As Zhao Xu shouted and put his hands together, the power of the Holy Creed that he had summoned descended from the sky and gathered in his body!

The brilliant Halo that represented Supreme glory immediately enveloped his body, instilling him with a firm belief to fight against the things of fear.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you have cast the fourth-circle Paladin divine spell ‘martyr’s pity’. In the next 33 minutes, you will receive-

Immune to bruises, charm, and coercion effects, and suppresses any effects that cause pain.

[ immune to any dizziness, exhaustion, fatigue, nausea, trance, and intimidating effects. ]

Combined with the effects of aging, disease, dissociation, and poison that his chosen ability was immune to, he was basically immune to a lot of negative effects.

At this moment, he had only completed half of the first round of casting advanced Swift burst. He still had one chance to cast swift action!

But Zhao Xu didn’t hesitate at all. He waved the instant Advanced Supreme magic staff in his hand.

instant cast of death ward!

adventurer zhongxia, you cast the fourth-circle divine spell ‘death ward.’ for the next 33 minutes, you will be immune to all death spells, magic death effects, energy absorption, and other negative energy effects.

Immunity was the strongest defense.

In fact, Zhao Xu didn’t even want to compete with his opponent in terms of spell resistance and immunity.

He had directly made up for his last shortcoming!

Basically, most of the negative buffs had been completely filled up by Zhao Xu at this moment.

He even had to try to see what he was not immune to.

As the positive energy of the death Ward enveloped Zhao Xu’s entire body, the extra time that he had gained from activating his advanced agility burst was also used up.

The Corruptor’s staff glowed brightly!

It really was the spell hidden in the staff!

“Magic nullifying barrier!”

A fixed magic ball that was emitting a faint light enveloped the deformed man.

This 6th-circle arcane spell directly blocked all 1st-circle to 4th-circle spells!

If Zhao Xu hadn’t reached Level 5 yet, he would’ve had a headache just seeing this spell because he could instinctively suppress all effects of Level 4 and below.

It was a common method used by high-circle mages to bully low-circle mages.

in the past, when zhao xu faced the endless bombardment of the arcane cannon towers, he had relied on the secondary spell, nullifying barrier, from his protective magic staff to defend against it!

However, who would have thought that the Corruptor, who had a powerful magic attack, would also choose to defend first.

This way, if Zhao Xu wanted to target his opponent, he would have to use the limited number of level 5 spells he had.

However, a mage who had just reached level 10 would only have two or three level five spells in theory.

Zhao Xu was stunned, and the other party wasn’t any weaker.

When Zhao Xu saw this, he could only shake his head and chuckle that he had indeed been one level too wrong.

How could a mage who could endure so many symptoms of decay in this giant stone fortress be willing to risk his life to fight him?

Just like Zhao Xu, he wouldn’t risk his life to fight an unfamiliar wizard.

At this moment, Zhao Xu regained the chaotic magic fluctuations in his body and continued to raise his scepter up high and point it at the other party.

The evil mist that shrouded his opponent made it difficult for him to see through him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had such a headache when he first attacked.

Since that was the case, he would throw a stone to find the way first.

Twin spell, mind weakening spell!
