The Truth of Magic

Chapter 253

253 chapter 252 face to face

After hearing what Zhao Xu said, even though Frank had already become a ninth-circle wizard, he still couldn’t help but look terrified.

that demon had left him with a deep shadow.

Compared to the Lords of the many layers of the abyss, the Nine Hells had exactly nine Lords, with Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells, as the leader.

At the same time, the war between Baator and the bottomless abyss could be in a stalemate for many years.

On one hand, it had a good relationship with the Lords of the Abyss, and on the other hand, it could also be seen that the foundation of Baator itself was there.

Zhao Xu saw that wizard Frank was about to back off, so he said in a mocking tone, ” “didn’t you want to find your wife?”

“If you’re even afraid of facing the devil, why don’t you just give up now?”

it was as if frank had been triggered by zhao xu. he had already turned into a construct, but he still gritted his teeth and said, ” alright, i’ll give it a try. ”

as he spoke, he took out an ancient bronze mirror from his dimensional bag. it was only the size of a palm, and it seemed to be used for women to dress up.

However, the patterns on the back of the mirror were all outlined in the language of purgatory. Together with the mysterious badge in the middle, it exuded an ominous feeling.

“My wife’s soul was devoured by this mirror. I’ve been keeping her body, waiting for her soul to return.” Frank said desolatedly.

For ordinary people, the price of the resurrection spell was the biggest problem in resurrecting the dead.

however, for powerful adventurers, the biggest problem with resurrection was the whereabouts of those souls.

resurrection couldn’t be forced.

Then, Frank took out the offerings needed for the summoning ritual from his bag of holding. He then drew a simple magic array on the ground to activate the altar.

“aren’t these demons a little too cautious? even the summoning ritual has to be custom-made?”

Arthur had many summoning spells, but most of them were ordinary Devils.

zhao xu had only studied rituals a little before, and he could feel the difference between that ritual and the normal devil summoning ritual. it wasn’t just about communication.

Some summoning rituals had ended, but the attention of the evil creatures from the other world had not stopped.

those evil creatures from other worlds could even track their target creatures and obtain the sensory information of their contestants. they could even reach the point of telepathy and directly give hints.

What was even more ridiculous was that Zhao Xu noticed that before the other party summoned the demons, as a ninth-circle wizard, he actually didn’t take any precautions.

it was as if he was entertaining his friend instead of summoning the devil.

zhao xu had at least used protection from evil before.

“it seems that he must have failed after trying. this time, seeing that there’s a chance of turning the tables, they didn’t even take any precautions.” Said Lux.

zhao xu watched as frank put all his focus into setting up a simple summoning altar on the ground, and he couldn’t help but frown. ” “This means that the demon is very cautious. Lacus, are you confident?”

“ah? confidence?” Lacus suddenly asked, ” why should I be confident? master, you have the protection of the ‘blazing God’s servant’. that angel will definitely not let anything happen to you.”

“lacus, the one we’re facing is a lord of hell, even if it’s just an avatar.” Zhao Xu frowned slightly.

“Hehe, master, so you know that it’s an incarnation. We were born to restrain them in the Prime Material Plane. however, i don’t think it will come over. it is just communicating with us.”

At this moment, Frank had also finished setting up the array. He began to chant the communication incantation while spinning the mirror in his hand.

Suddenly, the temperature of the entire Treasury dropped by a few degrees.

slowly, under the effects of his true knowledge skill and the combination of many other detection skills, zhao xu started to feel a powerful will power suddenly descend upon the mirror.

for example, some ‘otherworld binding’ spells could control otherworld creatures on the premise that the other party was summoned.

If it was just a single will, then Zhao Xu would only be able to “talk” about it.

All of a sudden, an extremely evil power emerged from the mirror. It seemed to carry the aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood from a bloody battle, and it enveloped the entire Treasury.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you are currently within the range of evil aura. ]

of course, zhao xu had heard about the eight-circle arcane spell, evil light.

however, he did not expect that just by completing the ritual, the will of the other party would descend, and the result of the spell would be this.

It was already a little like a super-scale war.

“oh, which lowly insect is it this time?”

Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in the mirror and spoke in the purgatory language in a hoarse voice.

Zhao Xu had the bugger of words buff, so he immediately understood what the other person was saying.

” his aura is really at the overlord level. that frank is really something to mess with. ” said lux.

“It’s me, lowly Frank.” Frank quickly bowed to the mirror and said in a muffled voice.

“Oh, so it’s you, Frank. Have you satisfied the three conditions? if you don’t do it, i’ll put your wife’s soul into the body of a lemur, and she’ll become one of us.” the evil devil sneered.

“No, don’t, great master Eric, please don’t do this.” at this time, frank let out a mournful voice and begged.

Even if his blood was fused with Mithril, and his body’s organs had completed the Mithril transformation. However, the feelings that burst out in his heart had never been erased.

“Who are you?” at this moment, zhao xu took a small step forward and looked at the mirror that the devil’s will was possessing with a serious expression.

“It’s actually a priest of the goddess of magic. so it was you guys who threatened frank? Then what should I do? For example, let him kill all of you?” the blurry, evil shadow laughed at zhao xu.

However, after hearing that his wife’s soul would be injected into the body of a lemur, Frank was in a state of panic and lost the most basic ability to think of a mage.

hand over the soul of Frank’s wife. Zhao Xu said as he looked at the blurry figure in the bronze mirror.

at this moment, the “miracle technique” in his hand was ready to be used.

he had originally planned to save the remaining half of his life force for the battle the day after tomorrow.

since he had encountered such a situation, he would also not be stingy in throwing it out.

“Hehe, Who are you? where did you get the face to communicate with the great me?” The demon in the mirror was even more domineering.

“Master, this personality of his doesn’t seem to be like that of the other Lords of the infernal realm.” Lacus asked in surprise.

Compared to the countless Lords of the Abyss, the Lords of the nine levels of hell were all recorded.

someone who came to negotiate on Frank’s behalf. Zhao Xu said.

“Since you’re so confident, how about we make a bet?” The will in the mirror suddenly said provocatively, ” if you’re willing to use your soul as a bargaining chip, I can also use Frank’s wife as a bargaining chip.

“How should we bet?” zhao xu asked.

At this moment, the “miracle” in his hand was only missing the last firework.

“for example, guess who i am? You have three chances. As long as you can guess correctly, I will return Frank’s wife’s soul to you. but if you can’t guess it, i’ll take away your soul.” the blurry figure in the mirror continued to tempt zhao xu.

He wasn’t afraid that Zhao Xu would go back on his word. As long as he went through a few layers of his language traps, once Zhao Xu started to guess, the consequences would be the same as making an oath in front of the River Styx.

“master, this doesn’t just sound like a one-third possibility.” lacus pondered, ” three chances to guess the current nine lords of baator doesn’t seem too much. But in reality, there are still some former Lords in the infernal realm, and even Devils that are close to the level of a Lord. It’s just that they haven’t been given a territory to rule over.”

“how is it? do you accept?” The entire Treasury was filled with the cruel laughter of the evil will in the mirror, ” look at what kind of weak helper you’ve found. Hahaha.

“I accept.” zhao xu said.

frank’s eyes, which were on the verge of despair, suddenly revealed an expression of disbelief.

” then you can make a guess. there are only three names. ” The power of the mirror said.

But compared to the demons ‘tradition, it didn’t take out any complicated agreements for Zhao Xu to sign.

miracle: I want the contract to be executed without any loopholes.

” miracle: i want the contract to be executed without being misinterpreted. ”

miracle: I want the contract to be executed fairly.

miracle: I want the contract to be executed perfectly.

miracle: I want the contract to be executed immediately.

suddenly, zhao xu cast five miracle spells in five consecutive rounds.

Waves of holy aura started to come out of Zhao Xu’s body.

every syllable that fell represented that the power of will in the void was pressing down even more.

the power of kingdom of heaven instantly filled the space, forming an inescapable cage that locked down the space.

It was as if every step he took would cause him to feel the collision of specific rule forces.

under the effect of the miracle spell, the original hidden oath began to appear, constantly hovering above everyone, full of the meaning of the future.

the words that zhao xu and the shadow in the mirror were using to communicate with each other started to glow with golden light and turn into unbreakable contract words.

“How can you abuse a miracle like this?” The will in the mirror suddenly felt exasperated.

it did not expect that the trap it had set would become an oath that bound itself!

“but you still haven’t guessed it. if you want the oath to be carried out immediately, you’ll be blocking your own path of retreat.” The will in the mirror also reacted and laughed.

Even if Zhao Xu had guessed it right, he could have still delayed it for a few hundred years. He could have even given the other party a demon that had taken over Frank’s wife’s soul.

However, under the requirements of Zhao Xu’s miracle, the vows they had just made were materialized, and at the same time, the pressure on him had increased a lot.

“grazite.”

Zhao Xu suddenly said the name of the most powerful demon general in the chaos abyss, who was also one of the very few demon generals that had the potential to become the king.
