The Truth of Magic

Chapter 353

353 Level 12 spellcaster

Mystra’s city gate tower was extremely tall, but since its construction, no human army had tried to attack the city.

The four stone walls, which were 100 meters high, were transformed by legendary mages using transmutation spells. Under the blessing of spells, they were harder than ordinary man-made walls.

However, for thousands of years, there were no traces of war outside the city walls. Peace seemed to be the synonym of the city.

The drawbridge at the city gates had never been closed, and Mystra was one of the few cities that remained bustling at night without a curfew.

after zhao xu and the other two met up at the city gate, they avoided the crowd and boarded a carriage that was waiting nearby. they then headed straight for the nearby frost dew town, where the middle-aged woman had been attacked by an old woman dressed like a witch.

the carriage’s wheels jolted, and when it ran over the stones on the road, the wind chimes on the carriage also made a crisp sound.

Zheng xinyun was engrossed in observing the rhythm of the tune, while Ellington held the dagger in his hand tightly and took deep breaths to adjust his emotions.

Those who didn’t know better would think that they were on a suicide mission.

zhao xu thought to himself. since he wanted zheng xinyun and ellington to go through a ” battle ” that was strong enough, he naturally had to improve himself so that he could suppress the risk that might happen next.

He would directly slap that old ghost woman to death, and there would be no more fun.

Frostdew town wasn’t far from Mystra, and the carriage could reach it in about an hour.

zhao xu also started to use this time to cast spells on himself.

He first released the prism shaped, orange colored ain stone from his pocket. The stone was immediately pulled a few times by the gravitational force and began to spin steadily above his head.

Zhao Xu’s spellcaster level was originally Level 6, but after the ” cloak ” ceremony and the blessing of the Ain stone, his spellcaster level had increased to level 8.

At the same time, he took out a cracked Ruby that was still worth 250 gold coins. Then, he clenched his fist as if he was going to crush it.

But Zhao Xu only had a strength of 8, so he couldn’t do anything to this red gem.

Then, Zhao Xu blinked his eyes and mumbled a magical word. At the same time, he drew a picture in the air with his arm.

Even though the movements were a little complicated, Zhao Xu’s movements were extremely fast.

At the same time, he also activated his class ability and added it to the spell model structure.

Supreme magic control-

The spell was long-lasting!

In an instant, a powerful wave of magic appeared in the center of Zhao Xu’s fist and shattered the red gem he was holding onto.

Crimson powder fell from the gaps between his fists and onto the floor of the carriage like gravel.

The powerful force of impact immediately attacked Zhao Xu’s entire body.

It was tearing his body apart while binding his nerves.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you have used Supreme magic control to offset the cost of increasing a 6-circle spell slot. Your agility has been damaged by 6 points. ]

[ adventurer zhongxia, you cast body sacrifice for a long time. Your Constitution decreased by 8 points, and your spellcaster level increased by 4. 24 hours (originally 1 round) ]

these two notifications immediately reduced zhao xu’s constitution and agility by a large amount.

Instantly, his face turned extremely pale, and the flesh on his cheeks sank in.

“Mister?” Zheng xinyun and Ellington could not help but exclaim.

Zhao Xu just waved his hand to show that he was fine.

However, the speed at which he waved his arm was slow and stiff, as if he was an old man in his seventies or eighties.

It was only natural for him to use Supreme magical grasp to damage his agility.

The 8 points of attribute damage of Constitution was the price for him to increase his spellcaster level.

Zhao Xu had used this spell before when he was in sync with Artoria.

After consuming 250 gold coins ‘worth of rubies, this 2nd-circle spell could increase the spellcaster’s level by sacrificing his Constitution.

Zhao Xu was a level 8 spellcaster, so he could sacrifice 8 points of Constitution. He hadn’t reached the limit of 10 points of Constitution damage yet.

However, for every 2 points of Constitution he sacrificed, he could increase his spellcaster level by one.

And so, Zhao Xu’s spellcasting level instantly shot up from level 8 to level 12.

In general, when an ordinary wizard’s character level was Level 6, they would only be Level 6 spellcasters.

Most of them did not have access to the 36000 gold coins worth of ain stones or the ritual circle that could increase the level of the spellcaster.

To them, Zhao Xu’s level 12 was equivalent to double the level of their spellcaster.

This meant that some spells that were determined by the spellcaster’s level would have their duration and damage doubled.

However, not to mention its status, even if this spell was made public at this time, there were only a few users.

This was because the ‘body sacrifice’ spell not only consumed expensive materials, but it also lasted for a fixed time of one round.

One round of drinking water would pass, so this spell had always been notorious.

It was just that it was a ” personal ” spell, so it was either a ” personal ” spell or a ” fixed distance ” spell that met the requirements for ” spell duration, ” so it could be affected by Zhao Xu’s ” spell duration ” specialty.

The duration of its effect was extended from one round to a total of 24 hours, which was 14400 times longer than the original duration.

Many spells that only lasted for one round with a fixed duration looked extremely ordinary.

However, with the support of ‘spell endurance’, it directly possessed extraordinary power.

It was the same for physical sacrifice and ghoststrike.

Zhao Xu cast secondary level restoration on himself. This was a level 2 cleric’s level 2 divine spell, but it was also a level 1 Paladin divine spell.

It could remove attribute impairment effects caused by magic, or heal 1-4 attribute points.

Zhao Xu’s first shot removed the physical damage caused by physical sacrifice, and the second and third shot healed the cost of using Supreme magical mastery.

The spell [ sacrifice of the body ] couldn’t be cast when the user was immune to elemental damage, so Zhao Xu had no choice but to take the damage.

After using up three 1st circle divine spell slots, Zhao Xu’s stats finally returned to normal.

In exchange, the success was also incomparably rich.

At the same time, for the next 24 hours, he would be a level 12 spellcaster, and the damage of his fireballs would be double that of a third-circle wizard.

At this moment, Zhao Xu had also started to realize how Antonya was going to get her spellcasters to level 70 and above.

His ‘physical sacrifice’ was just an appetizer.

When his level was higher, the amplification methods he had would be even more terrifying.

Especially after level 8, when he could cast the fourth-circle divine spell ” decay, ” the evil necromancy spell, he could increase his spellcaster level by killing lives. At that time, he could directly increase his spellcaster level by 50%.

It was very easy for him to continuously rise to level 20 and above.

“Take off your armor,” Zhao Xu said.

“Ah?” Zheng xinyun’s face turned red. She didn’t understand what Zhao Xu meant.

Zhao Xu realized that his words were a little ambiguous, so he started to chant an incantation.

“AoE Mage Armor.”

[ adventurer zhongxia, you’ve obtained the effect of group Mage Armor. You’ve obtained A +4 armor bonus. Duration: [ 12 hours ]

This time, he cast an hour-level spell, so he didn’t have a spell duration buff, or rather, this close-range spell itself couldn’t last long.

“Ah?” The two of them didn’t know what Zhao Xu was doing, but they could both feel that there was an invisible but powerful armor around them.

this spell of mine is the group version of Mage Armor. This way, the three of us will be wearing an invisible ‘chain armor shirt’. Zhao Xu explained.

After some thought, he decided to give up on the 3rd Circle, advanced Mage Armor, which could increase the Tier 6 armor bonus. Instead, he cast the same 3rd Circle, group Mage Armor.

Mr. Zhongxia, does that mean I don’t have to wear a chainmail shirt for the next six hours? ” Zheng xinyun said.

In the end, she wasn’t controlling a game character verbally. She had personally experienced the burden of wearing the chain mail shirt and the inconvenience of moving.

On earth, players would not even bother to carry a backpack or wear a face mask. Therefore, if it was not for the sake of defense and the sense of security against monsters, most people would not wear armor for no reason.

“Let me correct you, it’s 12 hours.”

It was common knowledge that the duration of the first circle of Mage Armor was one hour per spellcaster’s level.

12 hours meant that he was a level 12 spellcaster.

Suddenly, two pairs of eyes were fixed on Zhao Xu.

I’ve just upgraded my spell caster level. You can do the same in the future. Zhao Xu explained with a warm smile.

But when Clinton heard this, he looked at Zhao Xu with even more respect.

It was easier said than done to increase a spellcaster’s level.

As someone who came from a wizard family, he knew better than Zheng xinyun, who was next to him, how rare it was to increase a spell caster’s level, and each one of them was extremely difficult to obtain.

“Do you know why I want to increase your defense?” Zhao Xu started to guide the two.

“Because the opponent’s close-combat attacks are very strong?” Clinton replied.

“That’s right.”

As Zhao Xu spoke, he raised two fingers. that old ghost woman has at least a Level-12 melee gnawing attack. She can forcefully tear through armor and flesh. That’s why I changed your armor to an invisible force field Armor.”

At this moment, Zheng xinyun was already taking off the chainmail shirt on top of her ceremonial robe. Anyone who carried a weight of more than 20 pounds would have a heavy burden on their bodies.

“On the other hand, the other party has spell-like abilities. The most important ones are the 1st-circle spell ‘ray of weakness’, which can weaken power,’ magic missile’, which can cause damage, and ‘sleep’, which is used for control.” Zhao Xu said as he counted with his fingers.

moreover, the opponent’s spellcaster level is close to level 8, so he can shoot up to four missiles, each of which can deal 2-5HP damage.

At this moment, Clinton’s face turned pale. magic bullet? that’s enough to kill me.

The sleep spell and the weakening ray were just control spells to let them leave the battlefield.

Only ” magic bullet ” could be aimed at anyone and instantly kill him and Zheng xinyun on the spot.

Zhao Xu almost laughed out loud when he heard this. I asked you guys to take a risk, not to die.

As he spoke, he took out four items from his backpack and threw them in front of the two.

They were the ‘shield’ divine spell scroll, the shield pin, the protective staff, and the spell introduction of ‘lesser spell immunity’.

“These are all ways to defend against magic bullets.”
