The Truth of Magic

Chapter 157

157 Super-large fire elemental

Zhao Xu didn’t know how the primitive spellcasters of the Dark Age had offended the elemental God.

However, his current situation was rather delicate.

At first, Antonya had told him that in this Dark Age, a wizard like him who could cast level 2 spells would be considered invincible.

this was mainly because there were still relatively few professionals in the human race at this time. At the same time, there were very few spell casters, so naturally, there were very few methods to deal with them.

if it wasn’t for the fact that the fire god’s oracle was in the way, zhao xu would only need to cast a level 2 invisibility spell and those villagers would definitely worship him like he was a great existence.

In the dark Age, the emissaries of the gods were mostly the most primitive sacrifices. they relied on sacrifices to obtain power from the gods, and they had not reached the level of the priests in the future, where their divine spells and advancement were complete.

There were even many remote tribal villages that worshipped nature spirits as gods.

as zhao xu followed the map in the letter and headed towards the molin stone stele, he had been thinking about the fire element.

When Antonya had asked him to choose the third method, she had also provided him with a fire element Brazier.

As long as the brazier was lit, it would be equivalent to using the ” Level 6 monster summoning spell ” to summon a large fire elemental.

As elemental creatures, fire elementals were divided into small, medium, large, large, large, large, and elder-type according to their strength.

Above them were the elemental princes who had stepped into the legendary stage.

zhao xu used to be a warrior, and he hated fire elementals. not only were they difficult to fight, but killing them wouldn’t even give him anything.

when they killed animals, they could even skin them and tear them apart to sell their parts.

As for whether the fire god had become a God or not, Zhao Xu wasn’t sure.

He realized that in this era, a series of knowledge checks had failed.

out of careful consideration, zhao xu chose to answer the simplest questions, but he still failed every time. it was as if he had completely lost touch with the source of knowledge.

this was the first time he realized that he had traveled back in time.

otherwise, there was nothing out of the ordinary around him, and he almost thought that he had just been teleported to another mysterious place.

zhao xu followed the map in his mind and the route on the letter, and he slowly made his way deep into the mountains. this was also the direction the people in the village were retreating in.

The map in his mind was completely blank. Obviously, the spell had not been copied. This was also the reason why Zhao Xu couldn’t find the stone tablet’s location when he first looked at the map created by the “Leyline detection” spell.

But as Zhao Xu went deeper, he felt that the air in front of him was getting hotter and hotter.

his body was already enveloped in a ‘tolerant environment’ spell that could adjust the temperature to almost a hundred degrees, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

at this moment, he was walking on the gravel ground in the mountain. not only were the rocks burning hot, but some of the dead leaves were already smoking.

so zhao xu was a little surprised that there wasn’t any fire in this forest.

It was as if all his strength had been sucked away.

after zhao xu flipped over a huge rock, he realized that the river bed where the stream had once been was now completely dried up. even the mud at the bottom had lost all its moisture and turned into hard blocks.

When Zhao Xu stepped across the river bed, the mud couldn’t withstand any force and started to crack.

How did the villagers survive in such an environment?

zhao xu couldn’t help but think of this.

In the end, just as Zhao Xu was about to reach the stone tablet on the map, he started to slow down.

there were all sorts of things that didn’t fit in, and zhao xu had a bad feeling about it.

He looked at his 18HP, and out of careful consideration, he took out a bottle of alcohol and smeared special marks on a few key parts of his body.

then, he began to chant the second-level spell, “false life.”

After he finished casting the spell, the remaining spell slots in his mind instantly released energy, and the alcohol that hadn’t completely evaporated from Zhao Xu’s body instantly disappeared into his body.

An Invisible Life force gushed out.

[adventurer zhongxia, you cast a false life spell and received an additional 1d10 (1 – 10) +4 (spellcaster level)= 7 + 4 = 11 hp. Lasts for 4 hours.]

Zhao Xu’s health points immediately shot up from 18 to 29.

Just this ordinary Level 2 spell had increased his HP to the level of a warrior or barbarian of the same level.

After making sure that he would be able to survive this wave of attacks, Zhao Xu regained some of his confidence. After all, health was everything about courage.

after passing through a pile of rocks, the area in front of zhao xu’s eyes suddenly opened up. in front of him was a stone tablet that was about the height of three people and had the shape of a pyramid. it was standing in a large open space.

The soil on the ground was still fresh, and it was obvious that it had just been turned over.

a man painted with oil paint and a string of animal bone ornaments wrapped in a thick felt was kneeling in front of the stone tablet and praying.

Even though the air was filled with the smell of burning sulfur, it still could not cover up the faint smell of blood.

zhao xu’s expression was very serious as he looked at the priest kneeling on the ground and said, ” “where are the villagers?”

At this moment, he had no time to pay attention to the completely blank Molin stone tablet.

The priest stood up. There were two huge knife scars on his face, which fell directly to his cheekbone, giving him an indescribable sense of ferocity.

“Oh? they don’t seem like the villagers here.” The priest’s voice was cold as he looked at Zhao Xu like he was a butcher.

that’s strange. I remember sending people to kill the villagers who escaped. How can you still get close to here? ”

Zhao Xu’s pupils contracted slightly.

It turned out that the three people who had attacked him at the beginning did not attack him just because he was a spell caster.

Instead, he wanted to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.

When he thought about this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but look at the muddy ground in front of him.

“you’re a smart man. i remember a villager shouting his son’s name before he died. could it be you?” The priest chuckled in a low voice. they are all honored to rest under the ground. The glory belongs to our Lord.

“command: pain.”

Zhao Xu raised his hand and shouted at the priest in front of him.

suddenly, a pitch-black spell energy shot towards the priest and instantly entered his body.

the priest’s body trembled and he coughed up blood. he looked at zhao xu with a cruel expression and shouted, ” “Is this all you have?”

zhao xu looked at him coldly.

after he finished copying all the spells in the scroll, he was no longer the newbie who couldn’t make up his mind about magic bullets.

he could even choose the most powerful spells of the lowest level.

[ command: pain, a level 1 arcane spell that, in theory, can cause the most damage. ]

it was only effective against living creatures with less than 100HP, and it would only deal 1d6 (1-6) damage per round, which was about the same as a normal arrow.

however, it was strong in that it could last for many rounds. the priest’s hp would definitely not exceed 50HP, and he would have to suffer 4d4 (4-16) rounds of damage.

zhao xu looked at the data on his status and saw that he had 10 rounds of checks.

in other words, even if the other party could survive ten rounds (one minute), they would still suffer 10-60HP damage, which was expected to be 35HP.

basically, for low-level people, this amount of damage was considered certain death.

Six seconds later, the priest felt a second damage from his body, and his expression finally changed.

“you evil sorcerer, what kind of sorcery did you use?” the priest shouted.

He realized that this travel-worn man was different from the other Magi he had met before. He didn’t understand why he had such a powerful spell.

“You can go ask your God.” zhao xu said.

“i curse you.” The priest immediately took out a small knife and cut open his palm in anger. He then started to chant an incantation to Zhao Xu.

Suddenly, waves of heat came at Zhao Xu, and the ashes on the ground started to burn again.

[adventurer zhongxia, your ‘environment tolerance’ spell has lost its effect.]

“Great master Anto Dales, your servant is begging for your arrival.” the priest suddenly shouted. at the same time, he made another cut on his arm, trying to increase the power of the sacrifice.

Suddenly, the originally calm underground exploded with a huge wave of fire.

finally, a gigantic fire elemental walked out of the flames. it turned around and looked at the priest kneeling behind it with disdain. “remember to make up for it with the sacrifice later.”

“i’ll definitely offer it up again, definitely,” the priest quickly knelt down and said.

After getting an answer, the Super large fire elemental turned around and looked at Zhao Xu with a mocking expression. you’re the one who disturbed my peace, you ant? ”

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but raise his head and look at this gigantic fire elemental that was almost ten meters tall. It was already taller than most of the dead trees in the mountains.

This kind of challenge level 7 super-large fire elemental with an average of 133HP was indeed not something a level 3 mage like him could deal with.

this super large fire elemental came from the fire elemental plane, and was the most ancient and authentic creature in the fire elemental plane.

when they came to arthur, they naturally became interdimensional creatures.

for example, when an earthling like zhao xu came to arthur, he would be classified as a creature from another world.

in the past, zhao xu had dared to go down into the cave and he wasn’t even afraid when he saw the inferno language.

It was because even if there were demons, they were creatures from another world in Arthur.

these creatures from the other world would be bound by the power of arthur, the main material plane.

zhao xu held the protective magic staff in his hand and said to the super large fire elemental in front of him, ” “let’s go back,” he said.

expel!
