The Truth of Magic

Chapter 228

228 Blazing sky god servant (1/5)

The first thing that Zhao Xu saw was his new stats:

[ strength: 8(-1) ]

[ agility: 13(+1) ]

[ vitality: 14(+2) ]

[ intelligence: 23(+6) ]

[ perceptive sense: 25(+7) ]

[ charm: 25(+7) ]

when he combined with altoria, artoria’s intelligence, perception, and charm were all deducted by 5 points each and compared to zhao xu’s. the higher one’s attributes were, the better it was.

This meant that if Zhao Xu wanted to inherit the last three attributes of Artoria, he would have to suffer a penalty of five attribute points.

However, he had just used the ‘clarity enhancement’, a’ coherence ‘specialty, which could exempt him from the 5 attribute penalty.

and so, zhao xu had perfectly inherited the last three attributes of his opponent, and they had all evolved to a level that he had never touched before.

This was when Zhao Xu’s will, immunity, and extra spell slots were all increased by the same amount.

But what Zhao Xu had a slight regret about was that he couldn’t inherit the first three measurements.

Therefore, his strength was still at the weak 8 points, which naturally affected the power and damage of his next attack with the giant scythe.

Zhao Xu wasn’t too concerned about this. The main thing was that he had spells that could make up for this.

his gaze continued to move down the character stats.

The dozen or so skills of the “blazing sky god servant” were all under his control.

In an instant, Zhao Xu’s knowledge (mystical), knowledge (religion), and Spellcraft, which were all his most important skills, suddenly increased by 30+ points. He would basically never fail a skill check in Arthur again.

even his other useful skills such as hiding, listening, stealth, searching, and observation had been increased to 20 – 30.

the current him could basically do anything.

Zhao Xu had once become a blazing God’s servant, and from there, he had a defense level of over 30,15 damage reduction, night vision, 15 regeneration, and more.

These were the special abilities of angels. He was not in a transformation state, so he naturally did not exist.

however, he had all three of artoria’s abilities: ‘supernatural abilities’,’ spell-like abilities’, and ‘priest spells’.

At this moment, Zhao Xu pushed open the door to the silent room and walked out.

Just like when he transformed, a mysterious protective energy surrounded him within a six-meter radius. It was invisible, but it really existed.

This was the supernatural ability of the angels-” protective Reiki.

this extremely powerful protective spiritual qi came together with him, so it would only be suppressed by the anti-magic field and become ineffective. it would not be removed.

when he had transformed, he had only thought of revenge, so he had not been able to calmly and comprehensively feel the power of the transformation.

At this moment, no matter how anxious Zhao Xu was, if all the players in winter city gathered together, they would only reach fallen star Lake the next day.

therefore, he had one day to master all his abilities.

then, he would hide in the dark and make his move when the battle broke out.

it was aimed at a key enemy and killed them in one blow.

at this moment, zhao xu gently stretched out his hand and felt the faint ring of spiritual qi in front of him.

Even though he could not touch it, the numbers on the panel were already displayed.

‘protective spirit qi’ had three main effects.

The first effect was that all allies within a six-meter radius, including him, would receive a rank 4 slant bonus on defense and a rank 4 resistance bonus on immunity when fighting evil creatures.

basically, defense +4 deviation meant that as long as the other party hid around zhao xu in battle, even if they were unarmed, they would still be protected by the spirit qi around them and would be surrounded by an invisible force field.

The strength of the deflective force field was comparable to a mage’s armor or a warrior’s scale armor, and it could be stacked on top of normal armor.

The immunity to +4 resistance was equivalent to wearing A +4 resistance cloak that did not take up any equipment space. This item was worth 16000 gold coins each.

this was only the first effect.

The second layer of Reiki was equivalent to a level 3 spell ” anti-evil array ” in this six-meter radius. For example, the pit fiends from the other day had to rely on magic resistance to enter this circle.

At the same time, everyone in the circle automatically received a level 1 spell, protection from evil. This was also Zhao Xu’s favorite protection spell to cast on himself.

For the third level of Reiki, the Level 4 spell ” secondary spell nullification barrier ” would be automatically generated within this six-meter range.

from now on, all level 1 to level 3 spells, including zhao xu’s fireball spell, would no longer be able to work here.

In fact, compared to that spell, Zhao Xu was a lot more agile, because his protective Reiki moved with him.

even so, zhao xu was still able to rely on this wisp of reiki to become an extremely powerful team starter, and he was able to play the role of an intermediate poet.

Then Zhao Xu’s gaze instantly shifted to the spell-like abilities below, and he started shaking his head and sighing.

the spells he could cast at will were: inextinguishable flame (2nd circle), dispel magic (3rd circle), holy light strike (4th circle), invisibility (2nd circle), lesser restoration (2nd circle), curse removal (3rd circle), disease removal (3rd circle), fear removal (1st circle) and talk to the dead (3rd circle).

These random spells were mostly level 3 spells that he would soon master as an archivist, so he was not too excited.

at the same time, among the spells, only holy light strike was considered an area of effect damage, and dispel magic could be used against the opponent’s protective spells. the rest were basically used to dispel negative states.

However, Zhao Xu definitely wouldn’t be a support healer in battle, so he didn’t really need to use it.

As for the spells that could be cast three times a day, they began to become stronger.

Blade wall (Level 6), Flame Strike (Level 5), Transfiguration (Level 4), resurrection of the dead (Level 5), fatigue wave (Level 5), command intimidation (level 8).

after that was the daily earthquake (level 8), advanced restoration (level 6), group charm (level 8), and power-draining wave (level 7).

Even though these spell-like abilities could only be used one to three times a day, they still had a certain level of power. More importantly, Zhao Xu didn’t have to pay any price to cast these abilities.

if there were still people who died in front of him, just like what had happened to youyou’s team, zhao xu could use “resurrection of the dead” to resurrect them one by one.

In the end, when one’s ability was fully mastered and used, one would not be too passive.

Altoria, who was “possessed by the Holy Spirit “, could not interfere with his movements, let alone now that she was asleep.

Therefore, the angels would only synchronize with the good camp.

Zhao Xu also noticed that there were a few extra spells that were permanently cast on him, and those were even higher level spells that could automatically take effect.

Detect evil (Level 1), detect trap (Level 1), detect lie (Level 4), see through invisibility (Level 2), and truth (Level 6).

Even if these spells were dispelled by the dispel spell, Zhao Xu could restore them with a single thought.

The key thing was that they didn’t have a time limit, so Zhao Xu immediately thought of the possibility of them being abused.

However, he could only do so after the possession was over.

This also meant that during this period of time, Zhao Xu would be able to identify evil faction creatures, see through traps, know lies, and see through illusions.

he had lied to the angel just now. with his current will immunity, he would definitely not be able to resist the power of the spell. the other party would know that he was lying.

next, it was difficult for others to deceive him.

this was especially so for the truth-revealing spell, which was a minute-level spell that couldn’t last for long. it was currently permanently cast on zhao xu.

not only was he able to see through illusionary spells, but he could also see through the darkness caused by all kinds of magic. his vision was also able to see the situation in the spirit world.

but none of this meant anything to zhao xu.

as long as his attributes were high enough, he would be able to cast all the priest divine spells that artoria could cast.

zhao xu’s 14 perceptive sense was originally very low, but after holy spirit possession, his 25 perceptive sense was already enough to fulfill the casting requirements of a ninth-circle priest.

so at this moment, zhao xu had perfectly inherited the level 20 priest abilities of the blazing god’s servant.

Some creatures had a challenge rating of 23, so they were injected with a lot of water.

As for the blazing God’s servant, although it was also a level 23 challenge rating with a Hit Dice of 22 HD, it was worthy of its status as a level 23 challenge rating with its level 20 priest casting ability.

zhao xu looked at his new priest spell slots. he had five level 9 and level 8 spell slots each, and the number increased as he went further down until he had eight level 3 spell slots.

This luxurious feeling made him feel like he was in a dream.

even when he had the book of ten thousand spells, he might not have been as strong as he was now.

this was because he could prepare spells in advance.

zhao xu used to have the heart of a warrior.

however, when he got the double elite, his first reaction was to choose mage, because mages were too good at fighting.

his second reaction was to choose the priest who was also casting spells and seemed to be taking on the role of healer.

That was because clerics were better at fighting!

at this time, all of the players in winter city had fallen into a clamorous atmosphere, and they were continuously gathering people.

Zhao Xu found a bed to sit on and started praying quietly.

He needed to prepare his spells now.

When he completed the spell combination, the players would be able to see what it meant.

a definite hit!

An inevitable critical hit!

he would definitely be beheaded!
