The Truth of Magic

Chapter 257

257 9-circle Divine Art

All the players on the battlefield of fallen star Lake looked at the image of the shrine that had appeared in the air for some reason. Then, they looked at the notification on the status bar, and they seemed to understand something.

“All the best, this is a cheat from the officials, don’t be afraid. it’s just five lifestones. at most, i’ll just register a new account after i die. in any case, i’ll be able to rise back very quickly.”

“even if we die, we have to bite a piece of meat off these evil mine owners. don’t forget how the souls of the innocent girls in this land cry.”

a barbarian who was leading another team to charge shouted after seeing this scene.

This sudden reversal of the situation made the exquisite two-handed sword in his hand a little lighter.

he had thought of a few possibilities of turning the tables when he was being suppressed.

he just didn’t expect that it would actually be the least likely one to be realized first.

Zhao Xu, who had just cast the miracle spell and summoned the temporary shrine, had also used up all the energy he had saved up.

at this time, after a moment of hesitation, he decided not to use his ” legendary undead staff. ”

the staff had more than 30 shots left. except for the spell ‘summon the greater undead’ which only consumed one shot, the other spells, finger of death, staff of death, and soul binding spell, all consumed two shots of energy.

Zhao Xu naturally wouldn’t use it when he was in coherence with the blazing sky God’s servant.

When his ” coherence ” was over, this legendary staff would be his strongest combat power at the moment.

if this staff was in good condition, it would be sold for 1.5 million gold coins.

even if there were only 30 rounds left, the staff would still cost over a million gold coins.

this was because the soul binding spell and finger of death were both ‘spells’ that had been upgraded to level 16.

Spell slots after level 9 could be obtained through legendary abilities, but there were no corresponding spells available, so they could only be used for spells below level 9.

In addition to increasing the difficulty of the spell,’spell upgrade’ was mainly used to resist ‘magical property invalid barriers’.

But Zhao Xu was also quite troubled. Just how much of a grudge did these players have against him for him to go so far as to use a legendary undead staff that cost more than 30000 gold coins to attack them?

just to ban the other party’s account.

once he used soul bind on a player’s corpse, according to the effect of soul bind, every time the player logged in, they would appear in the gem on the top of his fingertip staff.

they could only look at the darkness and could not do anything. those who did not know would think that they were stuck in a bug or something.

Zhao Xu’s attention was quickly drawn to the players who were fighting for their lives in front of him.

they braved the rain of arrows in front of them and rushed toward the fallen star town, where he had once lived, with indignation in their hearts.

It reminded him of himself during the demon-sealing war. In order to protect his home, he had fought against demons and demonic ghosts.

“Are you a God?” the wanderer who had fallen to the ground and had been completely healed by zhao xu looked at this in disbelief.

he summoned the temple with just a sentence?

just so that the players could resurrect nearby?

he suddenly remembered the post on the forum that said that he had seen the incarnation of a god and that he had perfectly resurrected seven or eight people with a spell.

At that time, he had even scoffed at such bragging posts.

now that he thought about it, it was an extremely real experience.

But Zhao Xu didn’t answer him. He just continued walking forward.

the wanderer could only watch in a daze as zhao xu’s figure slowly disappeared. during this time, countless arrows that landed on zhao xu’s body were all bounced back to where they were, and he killed the archers who were shooting arrows.

He, the Rogue, suddenly made up his mind. He would definitely post today’s experience. Even if no one saw it, he would use forum coins to buy exposure.

and at this time, he looked up at the looming temple in the sky and knew that he might have to change his faith.

right now, zhao xu looked like he was wearing a white priest’s robe that didn’t have any defensive abilities. he looked more like an ascetic who was studying the scriptures of a religion rather than a war priest who specialized in killing on the battlefield.

“Master, you’re changing your strategy,” At this moment, lacus reminded Zhao Xu.

“what?” Zhao Xu didn’t quite understand.

lacus had just completely merged his scythe into her body.

According to what she said, it would be up to her to figure out the next teleportation gate, so Zhao Xu didn’t have to pay too much attention to other things.

So, Zhao Xu decided to go all out and attack the few points that most players were threatened by.

“Master, so what if you won this battle alone?” Said Lux.

” there will be countless battles in arthur. can you finish them all by yourself? ”

The moment he heard this, Zhao Xu saw a player in front of him get killed by a barbarian guard with a giant axe.

However, that player would be able to resurrect in the rear and would not need to travel all the way to fallen star Lake. There were even many teams ambushing players on the way.

“i think, in the end, i have to make sure that everyone doesn’t have to be shot to death by stray arrows before they can even pull out their sabers.” At this moment, Zhao Xu was looking at the archers in the distance.

the wave of arrows that had been trained collectively was like air superiority on the battlefield without airships.

Unless they had spells to Dodge arrows like Zhao Xu did, it would be difficult for them to even move an inch in this battlefield.

The biggest advantage of the players was that they could attack in groups, but now they were being suppressed by the wave of arrows.

Especially those who did not have much HP. They would not even last an hour on the battlefield.

“hehe, master, you have to be careful not to do everything. You have to know that the gods won’t just give you five Lifestones so easily.” Lacus suddenly said.

but zhao xu didn’t think too much about this anymore.

he looked directly at the hundreds of archers at the front. of all the people present, he was the only one who knew that they were the official troops of the northern alliance.

no matter how strong the mine owners in starfall town were, they could not create an archery regiment in a few days. usually, there would be no guards for this kind of thing, as it was a burden.

At this time, he was about four to five hundred meters away from the archers, which was not too far away. Otherwise, the arrows would not have landed in this area.

Zhao Xu’s eyes were cold as he raised his hand and looked straight ahead. He said softly, ” “Storm of Vengeance.”

When it came to killing ordinary soldiers, he didn’t need to consider efficiency or practicality.

for him, the ” special effects ” and ” threat ” of high-circle spells were more useful.

“Where’s the sun?”

At this time, a martialist from the Archer Regiment asked in puzzlement.

However, the team leader said that this was just an illusion, so the morale did not collapse.

however, why did it suddenly become so dark in the afternoon when the light was originally quite good?

the archer couldn’t help but raise his head, and then he fell into a daze.

above their heads, a black storm with a radius of more than 100 meters and the size of one or two football fields appeared. within it, there were visible lightning and thunder.

“Boom boom boom!”

The sound of thunder rang out, like a heavy hammer striking.

immediately, more than a hundred archers knelt on the ground and covered their ears in pain.

“What’s wrong? I can’t hear you?”

“it’s so loud. my ears are ringing.”

“Is it magic? How can he be so strong?”

At this time, the captain had already noticed the dark clouds in the sky. However, he had also become deaf and did not notice the drum in front of him that signaled for them to retreat.

or rather, it was useless even if he had noticed the flag signals and the drumming.

At this time, his subordinates had completely lost their hearing, so they naturally couldn’t hear his orders.

In the second round, the thundercloud suddenly lost its restraint and poured down a heavy storm.

This scene appeared on the battlefield under the bright sun. It was unspeakably strange. Even the ground less than a hundred meters away from the black cloud was already scorching hot.

“ah, it hurts!”

suddenly, an archer shouted. he was wearing a half-body armor and had good protection. however, when the irresistible acid rain fell on him, it flowed down his neck and into his body. he was immediately corroded, and his skin festered on the spot. he let out a painful cry.

however, he was not the first one. all the archers immediately moaned in pain.

“Run! It’s acid rain!” at this moment, some of the more quick-witted people had already shouted out with all their might. however, all the others could hear was a buzzing sound, and they had no idea what they were saying.

The captain could no longer care about the two or three female slaves that the mine owner had given him. He immediately drove his horse and began to escape.

he could already tell that this spell was definitely more than that.

at this time, many of the archers had already reacted and wanted to run out of the range of the black thundercloud. however, the area covered by the thundercloud was more than 30000 square meters, so it was impossible to run out in a short time.

The area of the 400-meter track on earth was less than half of this.

as for the captain of the archers who was running to the edge, he was already so excited that he felt that he was about to escape, but he did not notice.

at this time, it was already the third round of spell casting.

A giant lightning bolt so thick that it would take three to five people to wrap their arms around it struck him directly.

suddenly, a huge cloud of thick smoke rose up, and even the wet ground exploded into a huge pit. the captain, who was wearing full-body armor, was completely charred black. his body was constantly emitting thick smoke from the lightning. he had clearly been killed by the 10d6 (10-60) lightning.

At the same time, at the edge of the thunderstorm, four bolts of lightning fell at once, forcing the archers to retreat.

Zhao Xu shook his head as he looked at the archers, but the killing intent in his heart didn’t decrease.

having read the records in his previous life, he naturally knew that the mine owners had opened up starfall town for the archers to abuse for three days in order to entertain them. naturally, the natives suffered.

“let’s stop here.”

zhao xu said to himself as he looked at the thundercloud.

this ” storm of revenge ” could have lasted for ten rounds, but no one could survive the fourth round.

Hailstones suddenly fell from the storm and thunderclouds. One by one, they fell heavily on the ground like stone bullets.

The hailstones were like blunt weapons. Slowly, the archers fell to the ground with blood flowing out of their heads.

at the same time, the acid rain did not stop. the battlefield was filled with the aura of death.

in the end, the wave of hailstones, which dealt as much damage as fireballs, and even couldn’t be avoided, gave the archers the same way to die.

They, who had shot arrows to kill players, were eventually ridiculed by fate and killed by hailstones.

in the next five rounds, each round would deal 1 – 6 damage from the acid rain and 18 hp from the hailstones ‘blunt attack. the field of vision would also be further reduced.

But when Zhao Xu saw The Last Archer who was also crushed to death, he ended the spell.

“master, after this battle, the players ‘corpses are fine. however, if we don’t deal with the corpses of arthur’s residents immediately, i’m afraid that the plague will spread here.” Lacus said to Zhao Xu after she saw him use a level 9 spell to destroy a group of enemies.

zhao xu looked at the battlefield outside the storm clouds, where the temperature wasn’t too low. then, he thought about how the main water source, the fallen star lake, was right next to them.

Zhao Xu shook his head. so, you’ll be fine in the winter, right? ”

as he spoke, he raised his hand again and looked at the battlefield.

Many of the players around them had seen Zhao Xu cast a spell just now, and they already knew that he was the powerful person who had used a spell to kill more than a hundred archers.

now that he raised his hand again, they could not help but be more curious and anticipated which enemy’s lives this legendary master would take next.

but zhao xu’s thoughts were very simple. he was just looking at his own angle.

If it was too hot, it would cause the corpse to stink and cause a plague.

it wouldn’t have happened if the weather was cold.

since that was the case, he would let winter come earlier.

this was the first time that the players saw the 9th-circle divine spell that had ignited the wave of players choosing priests-

“The winter of fembor!”
