The Truth of Magic

Chapter 363

363 chapter 362-breaking through the defense

as the bright light of the day illuminated the entire dilapidated house, the light spots that were projected on the retinas at the junction of darkness and light made everyone’s vision temporarily turn white.

in the past, when zhao xu could only cast level 2 spells, he had to face the lightning-fearing spirit bind spell.

Back then, when he was still unable to use the third-circle spell, daylight, he had already used the second-circle Holy spell, radiant armor.

The radiant armor could automatically release the level 3 spell, daybreak, to disable the challenge level 11 trembled binding.

at this moment, he was trying to save on level 3 spells and directly used level 2 spells to achieve the effect of level 3 spells.

There was no doubt that the most likely reason their torches had been extinguished by darkness was the ‘darkness spell’, which could devour light and make enemies without night vision lose their vision.

And daylight could counter and dispel all same-circle or low-circle dark spells.

in that short moment, the monster that might have been the old ghost woman had used “dark magic” and “sleep magic” to suppress their team.

zhao xu used daybreak to wake everyone up and dispel the sleep spell and daybreak spell to counter the dark spell.

A round of magic attack and defense was completed in this lightning-fast time.

In reality, most Wizards and priests wouldn’t be able to do this at all, or they could only rely on scrolls to deal with the situation. They didn’t have the speed and reaction time that Zhao Xu could use to cast spells on his own.

At this moment, as everyone’s vision began to recover ...

ah! the timid people present couldn’t help but scream.

On the beam at the top of the burned house, an extremely ugly human woman was crouching there, staring at them.

its skin was bluish-purple in color as if it had been bruised, and it was covered in festering pustules and sores. Under her dark, messy hair that looked like a chicken’s nest, there were yellow teeth that looked like uneven wild beasts. Her aquiline nose and eyes that were like burning charcoal that emitted a red light made her look even more chilling than the old witches in Black Fairy tales.

” it’s an old ghost woman. this kind of creature likes to use the sleeping spell first and then strangle the sleeping creatures one by one. ” Zhao Xu shouted.

The old ghost woman looked at Zhao Xu and the others and continued to smile viciously.

she was wearing torn rags, with human skulls hanging from her body, and a stick made from the leg bone of a large beast hanging from her waist.

The old ghost woman raised the stick in her hand and continued to chant an incantation at Zhao Xu and the others.

“It still needs to use the sleeping spell.” At this moment, Zheng xinyun couldn’t help but exclaim after Zhao Xu had cast an additional layer of radiant armor on her, which had increased her defense by one.

even though she was a little scared when she suddenly entered this scene, she still tried her best to analyze it.

“shoot!” Chuck, the captain of the guards, also shouted.

in fact, when they saw such a terrible thing, and it was on the beam near the ceiling, they had no time to go forward and assassinate it. they could only gamble that they could shoot a few arrows before they fell asleep again.

however, even though chuck had compressed his order into a single word, his voice was transmitted to everyone’s mind, and his consciousness translated it into his hand movements. finally, he aimed at the old hag and pulled the trigger.

It would take time.

In Arthur’s battles, it wasn’t just a matter of fighting and dragging each other out to see who had the will to last until the end.

In a situation where one side had a trump card, it was very likely that whoever made the first move would directly determine the situation.

Ellington saw that the Onibaba was about to finish the last syllable, and that her smile was getting wider and wider. She was about to finish her spell.

His consciousness was sufficient, but he hadn’t even aimed his crossbow at the old ghost woman, so he couldn’t pull the trigger.

even though he couldn’t see clearly due to the loss of his vision, captain zhongxia’s awakener spell wasn’t something that could be used twice.

it was even unknown if he could survive the second hypnosis.

Furthermore, the “sleep spell,” a level 1 spell, was a spell-like ability that the old ghost woman could cast at will. However, to zhongxia, the ” cure ” was one less time to use.

“sleeping spell!”

In the end, the old ghost woman had taken advantage of the few seconds it had taken for everyone to recover their vision to successfully cast the spell that required a full round of casting time.

The long casting time was another disadvantage of sleep besides its small range of effect, but this didn’t affect its reputation as a first-class spell.

However, at an even earlier moment before this.

at a moment that no one realized.

a holy and gentle ball of light had already appeared in zhao xu’s hand. he touched zheng xinyun again and continued to cast spells on her.

Countless Holy energy particles were triggered from Zheng xinyun’s body, permeating the area within a three-meter radius of her.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you have cast a level 3 spell,’anti-evil formation’ on Zheng xinyun. Duration: 10 minutes/level ]

[ adventurer zhongxia, you are within the effective range of the anti-evil circle. you have gained the effect of the level 1 spell, protection from evil. ]

after the old ghost woman’s sleep spell was over, no one in the room collapsed. everyone couldn’t help but look over at zhao xu.

The only person who could do this was this powerhouse.

in fact, everyone could vaguely sense that their own defense and even immunity had increased slightly.

chuck was also staring at his character stats in a daze. he was looking at the three major effects of protection from evil.

defense +2 level slant bonus! (Fight against evil)

immunity +2 grade resistance bonus! (Fight against evil)

immune to the effects of beguiling (charm) and beguiling (coercion)!

As for hypnotism, it was the effect of confusion and control (coercion).

This was the reason why Zhao Xu didn’t bother with the old ghost woman’s other spells after he considered the threat of magic bullet.

in reality, before zhao xu came into this house, he didn’t think that there would be anything hidden inside.

it was just that he couldn’t last 24 hours in contact with spells, so he didn’t cast the anti-evil circle that had a 10-minute duration per level in advance. As for the other spells, they all lasted for 24 hours, so it wasn’t a bad thing to cast them in advance.

“don’t be in a daze, shoot!” Chuck shouted after he realized what was going on.

In an instant, following Chuck’s order, everyone’s light crossbows fired one after another at the old ghost woman.

Most of the attacks missed, some even being blocked by the old ghost hag’s natural armor, which was at Level-11.

Until an arrow, with great luck, landed on its wound and directly pierced into its skin.

The old ghost woman’s eyes instantly revealed a look of surprise. Her defense had actually been broken.

it knew that this group of ordinary people were unable to break through its defense. there must be something fishy about this.

Immediately after, another lucky arrow landed on the wound and pierced into its skin again, successfully breaking its defense.

In fact, even Chuck didn’t expect them to be able to shoot through the old ghost woman with a crossbow.

“good!” he couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

chuck naturally didn’t think that it was because of their archery skills. he knew that it was because of the ‘praise’ that mr. zhongxia had blessed them with and the ‘dark knowledge’ that they had sensed from the old hag’s secret lock.

the increase in tier 5 attack gave them the possibility of breaking through his defense!

As long as the defense could be broken, there was a possibility of ants biting an elephant to death.

even if an ordinary person had the ability to shoot an arrow through the old ghost woman, it would be useless because he would be torn apart by the other party before he could exhaust her.

yet, there were more than ten of them present.

however, the old ghost woman didn’t even move her hand. the arrow that had been inserted into her body was squeezed out of her wound.

It was as if it had a powerful healing ability that directly eliminated the damage of the arrow. They could not even see the pain in each other’s eyes.

“It’s damage reduction!” Ellington immediately shouted, “the opponent can reduce the damage by at least 10 points. Only magic weapons or cold-iron weapons can penetrate this damage reduction.

This voice, however, immediately silenced everyone present.

Because of the cost of arrows, even if they could be recycled, the vast number of poor melee professions would still choose melee weapons.

it was only in the current situation, under the premise that madam betty had taken out her elite weapons, that such an elite cavalry with light crossbows was gathered.

however, they did not even have a +1 magical melee weapon, let alone a magical long-range weapon.

the old ghost woman noticed the presence of the people below the stage and she immediately felt much more confident. she immediately pounced onto the stage and ran towards zhao xu.

but zhao xu, who had become the target, had a look of disdain on his face as he continued to cast his next spell.

his defense was now at level 28. would the old ghost woman be able to bite him?

at the same time, zhao xu had already raised the super magic staff in his hand as if he was going to swing it at the old ghost woman in front of him.
