The Truth of Magic

Chapter 240

240 the death of the human world (1/3)

zhao xu, who was holding onto the giant scythe, finally felt just how terrifying his damage output had become with the help of his spells.

even as a level five warrior in his previous life, it would not have been so easy for him to get rid of these martial artists so quickly.

weapons and armors were often used in battles, so they were all consumables in arthur. sometimes, after a battle, the harvest might not even be enough to hire a blacksmith to repair the deformed and broken armor.

otherwise, zhao xu wouldn’t have had to arrange for his parents to set up a brick factory to increase their income after he became a sheriff in his previous life.

However, it wasn’t that easy to break through the defense of an enemy who was wearing full-body armor. One had to find the weak points of the armor and shield to successfully cause damage.

zhao xu had just managed to successfully kill two people and cause panic because of the power of his spells.

The most direct reason was that he had ghost strike, which could last for 24 hours after spell duration.

As its name suggested, the attack of a ghost was undefendable.

unless the people present had the support of spells, such as tilted force field defense, evasion defense, or holy power defense.

otherwise, everyone could only rely on the flexibility brought by their own agility and the defense of their armor.

Zhao Xu’s ghoststrike ignored the armor like it was nothing, and in a situation where he didn’t have the intention to attack, he would naturally be able to kill whoever came.

The reason why everyone had a visual misperception and thought that his weapon had killed the enemy without even touching it was because-

His weapon had actually touched the opponent!

zhao xu could even feel the slow motion of the blade hitting something in its way.

The only difference was that other people would hit their armor, while he would hit his body directly because of his ghost strike.

In fact, as long as the armor of the fallen martial artists was removed, the wounds inside could be seen.

And the reason why Zhao Xu’s giant scythe seemed to be able to hurt people from a distance was because he had cast an hour-level level three-circle arcane spell on the scythe, advanced Beyonder strike.

This spell could increase the size of his weapon!

generally speaking, weapons that were suitable for a human’s medium-sized body were medium-sized weapons, such as the giant scythe in zhao xu’s hand and the giant sword in zhang qi’s hand.

They could also use the weapons of small creatures, which were just as easy.

even a weapon that required two hands to hold like a giant sword could be held by a human with one hand if he chose a smaller one.

the power of the weapon increased with the model. however, no one could use large weapons just to deal damage.

On one hand, a medium-sized human would have to hold a large one-handed weapon with two hands to hold it.

if humans still wanted to hold two-handed weapons like the large scythe, it would be difficult for them to use it freely, and their attack power would begin to weaken.

and ‘advanced beyonder smite’ was a spell that could invisibly expand the size of a weapon.

The size of the weapon in the hand would not change, but it would expand the weapon by itself through an invisible Halo around the weapon.

Zhao Xu’s medium-sized scythe was boosted by a spell and it was upgraded by three levels. It went past the large and super large stage and reached the ” giant ” stage.

one had to know that the storm giant, which was nearly six to seven meters tall and weighed more than five tons, only used a size ” weapon. ”

that was why those people didn’t seem to be hit by zhao xu’s weapon on the surface, but in reality, they had already been hit by zhao xu’s light circle, which was equivalent to a giant weapon.

this way, the effect of the “ghost strike” was hidden.

There was no need for Zhao Xu to show everyone how the giant scythe in his hand turned invisible and then sank into the other person’s body.

zhao xu had done this on purpose to spread the fear of death.

Having read the life of the Grim Reaper, he understood that the most wonderful way to please the Grim Reaper was to create incredible deaths.

So even if a spell like ” advanced Beyonder bash ” could only increase the damage of weapons like ” blunt strike “, weapons like Zhao Xu’s giant scythe that dealt ” slashing ” and ” piercing ” damage would just be bigger in size and wouldn’t actually increase the damage.

it would not change from the medium 2d4 (2-8) damage to the massive 4d6 (4-24) damage.

but zhao xu still chose to use this spell to complement his ghost strike.

that was because the effect of intimidation was enough.

And Zhao Xu could already feel the vague outline of the portal starting to appear in his mind.

this showed that he was on the right path.

After he experienced spell endurance, Zhao Xu realized that he was in dire need of metamagic abilities.

that was why he had to get his hands on that ‘iron will’.

lux, who was the incarnation of the divine weapon, had the ability to immediately cleanse him of a metamagic specialty.

at this moment, zhao xu was no longer satisfied with the sparse and scattered crowd in front of him. he activated the teleportation door spell that he still had on him and went straight through the area on the battlefield where the private guards were the most concentrated.

He needed to attack enough times to trigger his beheading effect.

Every battle would add a heavy weight to the mental breakdown of these guards.

The reason why Zhao Xu was able to successfully behead the man with his second strike was partly because of how exquisite his strike had been. Just the performance alone was close to the standard of a level 20 player, and it had triggered a critical hit.

On the other hand, when Zhao Xu had just used the ” advanced strengthened weapon “, of the +5 special abilities that could cost up to 200000 gold coins, he had immediately chosen the most overbearing +5 special ability-beheading.

As long as the heavy strike was successful, it could trigger the beheading effect on all humanoid creatures.

this was a sure-kill effect.

In reality, when Zhao Xu’s blade had hit him hard just now, it had dealt four times the damage, and that martial artist would have died on the spot. The beheading effect that was triggered after that would have been useless.

however, the panic caused by the beheading was comparable to him killing dozens of people.

everyone who saw it was extremely terrified of the mysterious beheading blade energy that came out of the giant sickle.

Zhao Xu’s teleportation into the battlefield this time had given the guards around him quite a scare. A first circle magician wouldn’t be able to teleport in so easily.

But the battle instincts that they had trained over the years made the two spear-wielding guards in the opposite corner immediately stab Zhao Xu!

But when their normal long Spears touched Zhao Xu’s star Cloak, they exploded with a blinding light like meteors.

The exquisite spear worth hundreds of gold coins was instantly blown to pieces.

zhao xu immediately seized this opportunity. two afterimages of his next giant scythe appeared in front of him.

Zhao Xu’s body automatically adapted to one of them, and he suddenly swung his sword forward like a full moon.

the angle was extremely precise, as if he had made a pre-judgment, and directly cut into the defensive blind spot of a guard who was about to pounce.

just like before, before the scythe could even reach him, he relied on the halo of advanced beyonder bash and the armor-piercing attack of ghost strike to directly kill him.

basically, zhao xu was able to kill with every swing of his scythe because he had stacked all these powerful effects on it.

At this time, one of the guards also realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly shouted, ” don’t worry, surround and kill that sickle wizard first.

even though he couldn’t believe that the man who used the giant scythe to harvest lives was a mage, his robe and cloak made him come to this conclusion.

For the miner’s Association, the discipline of the miners was the best among all jobs, and it was even more so for the mine owner’s private guards. As soon as they heard the news, everyone immediately moved.

zhao xu had just taken down one of them when he saw the other seven guards charging towards him with their long spears and giant swords. but he wasn’t afraid at all.

At this moment, he continued to use ” convenient slash ” to kill another guard who was standing close to him.

follow up slash ” was a warrior’s specialty, and it could only activate its power once so that Zhao Xu could use the remaining power from that attack to attack again.

the prerequisite for releasing it was that the person had to fall to the ground with the blade.

this way, he could take advantage of the aftermath.

But this was a specialty that only Warriors could use when they were bullying noobs, and it was only now that Zhao Xu was able to use it.

however, this move could only be used once.

Zhao Xu wasn’t satisfied with just this and he started burning his potential points again.

He jumped first and casually killed the guard who was charging at him from behind. Then, he took advantage of the remaining power of the blade and used ” cleave ” to slash at the seven people who were already charging at him.

The saber Light flashed, and another beheading was successful, directly taking the head.

but this time, zhao xu’s momentum didn’t stop. he continued to move forward like a river, and the second person watched in disbelief as he once again won.

When the blade was drawn, one would die.

such a chain.

The formation killed seven people.

Within one round, eight people had lost their lives.

The battlefield that was originally a little crowded suddenly became empty, leaving only the souls of the dead floating in the air, without anyone to rely on.

“great momentum slash!” at this time, the leader who was riding on a warhorse and giving the order exclaimed in surprise. obviously, he recognized this secret of the warriors.

As a warrior in his previous life, Zhao Xu had only learned the ” convenient strike “, but he hadn’t come into contact with the ” great convenient strike “.

however, at this moment, his eyes were a little red. he could no longer care about the image of the portal that was becoming clearer and clearer in his mind. he continued to rush forward without caring about anything else.

“run!”

No one knew who suddenly shouted this, but all of a sudden, the mine owner’s personal guards scattered and fled in all directions. The situation on the battlefield where the players were initially suppressed instantly reversed.

however, the players realized that they didn’t need to charge forward anymore.

The cloaked mage holding a giant scythe was like the god of death. No matter how far the guards ran, he could reach them first. He would flash behind the guards and kill them with one strike.

from the beginning to the end, no one was able to make the mage, the death god, swing his blade a second time.

“how can his attacks be so perfect every time?”

at this time, one of the players had recovered from the shock of being beheaded and muttered to himself.

“And why is his attack so strong? were the guards ‘defenses made of paper? Even if the armor is fake, I should have succeeded a few times by dodging, right?”

“don’t be silly. you were able to cut it just now. did you kill someone?” someone directly raised his doubts, choking the other until his face turned red.

“i must be seeing things.” one of the players saw zhao xu take the life of another guard and he couldn’t help but rub his eyes.

the last guard was already running in the opposite direction of the players.

But before the guards could even get close to the group of players, Zhao Xu appeared behind them and killed them with a swing of his sword.

at this point, the 70 guards who had been alive when zhao xu first entered the battlefield had all been killed by zhao xu.

In the end.

zhao xu held the giant scythe in his hand and stood there like a stone statue with his back to the setting sun that was sinking into the horizon.

the afterglow made his shadow long and almost touched the players on the opposite side. the players who were close to him couldn’t help but take a few steps back for fear of stepping on his shadow.

Zhao Xu just looked at the players in front of him indifferently and let the blood on his blade drip down into the dry ground.
