Reyan’s question made Zhao Xu’s hair stand on end. It was as if he was looking at a mirror in the middle of the night and realized that the person in the mirror was doing something different from him.

zhao xu activated the telepathic link in his mind and kept sending messages to reyan.

he needed to determine when reyan had been switched.

Was it the moment she returned to the classroom?

It was still the moment when he almost tripped over the elevator door.

This was related to whether other people knew that something had happened to him.

If the Reyan he knew from the moment he returned to the classroom had been a fake, then other than feeling a deep sense of fear, Zhao Xu would probably have no choice but to take a gamble and commit suicide.

but if it had just been switched, then all hope was still there.

After all this feedback, Zhao Xu didn’t get any response from his heart, and the person in disguise next to him didn’t laugh at him for doing something unnecessary.

This more or less made him heave a sigh of relief.

the alchemy lift was surrounded by a metal mirror made of thick forged steel plates, which faintly reflected the figures of the two men.

but now, reyan, who was originally about the same height as zhao xu, seemed to have a pair of bat wings on his back. at the same time, the floor number on his panel had also stopped changing.

zhao xu also couldn’t feel the sense of weightlessness he felt when he was falling.

He and a certain creature disguised as Reyan were trapped in a closed space.

Zhao Xu was even starting to wonder if this was the same alchemy lift that he had used when he first came here.

“let me introduce myself first.” the person next to zhao xu said in an elegant tone, ” I have many titles, but for convenience’s sake, you can just call me the undying sovereign of the Dark Phoenix, grazite.

when zhao xu heard the last syllable, he felt a sense of familiarity when he heard the man speak, and he was even more certain that this was the case.

He turned his head and saw that Reyan’s original unruly face had blurred into another face. The face was sharp and had a sense of handsomeness that penetrated the soul. At the same time, it also exuded an irresistible dark charm.

Although its skin was a little dark, its eyes glowed with a strange green light. Its sharp ears and protruding slightly yellow fangs further highlighted its identity as a demon.

“A projection?”

now that things had come to this point, zhao xu’s mind was a lot calmer.

he had never expected grazite, the demon lord who had always wanted to conquer the other layers of the abyss and become the only sovereign, to come to mystra’s sacred heart cathedral so rashly.

the initial succubus priest could be considered a private provocation.

now, this kind of visit was like stepping on their noses, and it wouldn’t be too much to trigger a war between gods.

zhao xu had already used up his time backtrack talisman, and he couldn’t teleport anywhere else. after thinking about more than ten different things in his mind, he decided to play along with this abyss lord for now.

Instead of rashly using the ‘instant Super Magic scepter’ in his hand to directly activate the ‘gaseous form’ and gamble to see if he could escape by relying on the ‘air vent’ of the alchemy lift.

“Oh, is it important what it is?” grazite suddenly said in a demonic tone, ” especially for you now. ”

then, you didn’t sacrifice your succubus priest believers just to chat with me, right? ” zhao xu immediately changed the topic and tried to regain control of the situation.

“Oh, it seems like you’ve finally realized.” the sacred heart cathedral is indeed different from other places. if i want to get so close to you without being disturbed, i have to make my little believer sacrifice himself and take the initiative to attract all the attention around you.”

grazite was talking about how he had driven his near-legendary succubus priest to die, but his tone was very calm.

a legendary chess piece was nothing in the eyes of people at their level.

“as for why i’m here, it’s naturally to pay you a visit.” Grazite said, ” last time, you took back the soul of that Idiot’s wife from me on his behalf. I lost a legendary-Mage Slave.

“you’re quite clear about this.” Zhao Xu didn’t get excited at all. He continued to remain calm and didn’t try to correct the fact that Frank only had nine rings.

On the contrary, he was very clear.

as long as reyan wasn’t subdued, it would only be a matter of time before they found this mysterious space.

zhao xu had already noticed that the steel plate of the alchemy elevator was starting to twist and turn like waves.

It was obvious that not only was the mysterious force distorting, but the entire space was also becoming blurry.

in other words, he might no longer be in mystra.

this was something that zhao xu could guess from the fact that he hadn’t received reyan’s mental link from the very beginning.

Mind link was a level 5 spell that could allow a group to communicate through their minds. Zhao Xu was already at Level 3 and could cast the secondary level mind link spell, which could be used in one-on-one battles.

The spell itself could cross any distance, no matter the ends of the earth.

the only thing was that it could not cross planes.

To make such a cross-plane phone call, one had to use the sixth ring,’lari-Otherworld mind link’.

reyan wasn’t like antonya, who could use his potential points to recover his spell slots at any time. naturally, he allocated his spells according to his needs. if he could save one level, he wouldn’t go one level higher.

you can’t possibly think that successfully taking back a soul from the hands of a great Lord of the Abyss is such an easy task without any repercussions, right? ” Grazite continued to speak in a proud tone.

It had already turned around and was looking straight at Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu knew exactly what she was saying, and that was why he had cast five wondrous spells in a row to make her keep her promise. He had used Artoria’s divine spell to draw in the goddess ‘divine power to suppress her.

this was also the reason why he was able to keep the million-yuan necromancer staff and mithril crystal with ease.

While completing the mission, he also bore the karma.

“Then are you going to kill me here to take revenge?” Zhao Xu asked in return.

After all, the agreement he had with grazite back then was only to ensure that grazite had to return the soul of the wife of the Jade Star Master Frank.

As for whether or not the other party could continue to attack, or all kinds of treaties that could not continue to pursue the matter, there was no detailed agreement.

For demons, it would only take a moment to tear up a treaty. No matter how orderly grazite looked like a ” devil, ” he couldn’t change his own ” chaos ” faction.

So, Zhao Xu had never thought that he had managed to get his soul back by guessing who the other party was.

“that’s not necessarily the case. moreover, for players like you who are projected here, you are similar to our clan in the tower. you can be resurrected after death. therefore, there’s not much meaning in me taking your life.”

” but, mortal. ” the abyss lord grazite’s tone suddenly turned serious.

“you’re so satisfied with your current status as a third-circle wizard? You think you’ve already surpassed the other players by a lot, and you’re starting to feel smug?”

“you don’t want to become stronger? Have a huge amount of wealth? and occupy thousands of miles of land and become the ruler of arthur?” Grazite’s tone carried a hint.

even though players like zhao xu had the protection of the gods and were immune to all spells that affected their minds, it still didn’t affect grazite’s own ” bluff, ” ” intimidate, ” and ” negotiation ” skills.

it was just a few simple lines, but under the enhancement of the other party’s powerful skills, it was as if the words themselves had a mysterious magic, drilling into his ears and scratching into his heart.

In Zhao Xu’s mind, he started to picture a scene that he had fantasized about in his previous life.

he finally understood that the same words, as long as they were said by different people, the effect would be different.

“don’t you want to be the master of your own life? our abyssal race will never leave the abyss. we just need an agent to appear in arthur, a great existence that can demonstrate our will.”

“you want to bribe me?” Zhao Xu asked in return.

Although he didn’t know why grazite acted so abnormally, it seemed like grazite was trying to lure him into accepting his ” gift “.

however, how did he become a “hot cake”?

people would give gifts to please him wherever he went?

” i’m sorry, mr. grazite. i’m the priest of the goddess. ” Zhao Xu rejected her righteously.

Mages had many dealings with demons and devils.

In fact, there were unlucky people like Frank, but they were not the norm.

after all, most mages only traded with ordinary demons or devils. balor, pit fiends, and six-armed snake demons could be said to be the ceiling.

The process of these demons and devils slowly climbing up from the bottom, many of them had experienced thousands of years of suffering. The magic notes and arcane collection they had collected were not few, and they could often provide some transactions that could tempt mages.

as long as frank, who had reached grazite’s level, could be ruthless enough to give up his wife’s soul and allow grazite to become a demon ...

grazite could not do anything to the ninth-circle mage before he signed a real contract with him.

it wasn’t that grazite’s power was beyond reach, but that he had projected his power into the world of arthur to conquer a ninth-circle wizard.

the price he had to pay was far higher than what he could gain or kill a ninth-circle sorcerer.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xu didn’t dare to act rashly.

in order to meet him here, grazite had paid a price that had already exceeded the price of directly seizing ‘frank’s’ soul.

and when grazite heard what the goddess priest said, he suddenly couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

at this moment, an endless black mist spread out behind him, and it began to reveal a deep and bright divine light.

“if you give up your status as a priest, i can give you a legend.”
