The Truth of Magic

Chapter 389

389 High-end combat power

That night, after Zhao Xu had dinner with his high school classmates, Nan Xiaowei even complained about him when he returned home. He actually left without saying goodbye. He didn’t know if he went to find his old lover.

zhao xu naturally responded with a cold smile, but he still carefully hid the brooch that antonya had given him in his wallet.

his wallet, cell phone, and keys were all part of zhao xu’s regular three-piece set. usually, when he left a place, he would subconsciously feel his pockets to make sure that these three items were there.

after he finished showering that night, zhao xu went back to his bed and logged into the game.

With a flash of white light, he reappeared in the quiet Valley of the night.

In the blink of an eye, his bodyguard, Vivian, also appeared with a dazzling light and an advanced teleportation spell.

However, his heart was still heavy.

Because all of a sudden, Antonya had told him that the entire human race’s time to transmigrate would be brought forward by four months.

This meant that the average level of the original players would be lower than before, and the accumulation of various things would be less. This would inevitably lead to the players ‘strength in the early stages of the transmigration to be inferior to that of the previous life.

In fact, because of this news, he was even more willing to accept the fact that Antonya had actually appeared on Earth.

Hence, four months after the decision was made, Arthur’s publicity began to strengthen, trying to get more players to join the game to make up for the lack of ability.

In addition, Zhao Xu had been using his East City Lord account for the past four months to preach on the forums, so it could be said that he had benefited a large number of players.

If the average level of the players was higher by one level, then there was definitely no such thing.

However, other than him, the time it took for players to reach a new level would definitely be shorter than in his previous life. At the same time, the number of high-level players would definitely be higher.

Therefore, with the two added together, he could barely offset the advantage of the four months ‘time.

However, this was bound to bring about huge changes. Some players who had just finished using the Lifestone and changed to a new account after a year might have a change of fortune and directly enter the game as a high-level player account.

At the same time, players like him, who had entered the game eight months after the server had opened, would lose this kind of luck.

if there was such an accident in his previous life that caused the players to only have eight months in the game, then for him in his previous life, he would really have transmigrated and become a commoner.

if he could survive the black dragon’s attack, he would spend the rest of his life in a muddled state.

Under the night sky, Vivian was still standing beside him with her sword in hand.

Zhao Xu could only feel that it was a pity. If the other party was his magical pet, then Zhao Xu’s spells could only target himself, such as ghost strike, which ignored armor, and rhinoceros’s charge, which doubled the damage from the first hit of charge, would have been able to buff himself and also benefit Vivian.

it was not a joke that a magic pet could fight better than a mage.

this was also one of the rare but powerful paths of the mage path, the “magic pet style.”

“Vivian, what do you think will happen if we players really arrive in this world?” Zhao Xu was standing on top of a huge rock and looking out into the night sky of this Valley, and he couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Vivian was from Wuyue, and he believed that she could understand what he said.

“this is very good.”

vivian stood straight. ” cut off everything in the past and start over in a new world. isn’t that what many people once wanted? ”

zhao xu realized that the person he was asking was vivian, who wanted to cut ties with her past, so this was the reply he got.

what if the time is too early and everyone’s average ability drops? ” zhao xu continued to ask.

What the players lost wasn’t just the chance to register an account and start over.

at the same time, there was a crucial point. their lifestone would disappear four months in advance, which meant that they would not have to go through the training of death in these four months.

” guild leader, arthur is a part of the historical torrent formed by everyone, but it also has the brilliant glory of an individual. Even that insufferably arrogant Demon Lord ‘Demogorgon’ was ambushed and killed by a small team of Arthur’s adventurers in the Prime Material Plane.”

“this kind of deterrence to the abyss is even comparable to a large-scale war between the main material plane and the abyss. with the abilities of our races and our vocational abilities, the influence that we can exert is not the same.”

vivian was standing behind zhao xu and looking at him.

zhao xu suddenly felt a little touched. ever since he was young, he had been taught to be a group.

even during the battle of fallen star lake, he still believed in the players ‘tide-like offensive.

but in reality, individual combat power was something that arthur couldn’t erase.

With the magic buffs that he had stacked up, ordinary players would no longer be able to break through his defense. Not to mention, as his circle number increased, the number of buffs would increase even more.

zhao xu’s eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

In the distance of the valley, there was a bonfire lit by the escapees who had separated from them. It was as if the ground was also emitting Starlight.

As long as he was strong enough.

so what if the players were weak?

When there was a sharp knife in the world that could easily kill the leaders of Xiluo and the northern Alliance, even if there were millions of starving people standing behind Zhao Xu who couldn’t even fight a chicken, these big forces still wouldn’t do anything so easily.

High-end combat power was Arthur’s most powerful deterrent.

“Yes, Vivian, you’re right.”

Zhao Xu said as he nodded.

The 12-month target of reaching level 9 was still not enough to satisfy him.

even if time was accelerated to 8 months, he still had to reach level 10.

At level 10, he could begin to use the “resurrection of the dead “, which could redeem regrets.

“then, president, let’s rest.”

as she spoke, vivian took out a bunch of tent-setting tools, steel drills for fixing, tent frames to support the canvas, and a sleeping blanket on the ground from her dimensional bag.

she had built this so that zhao xu could rest.

zhao xu looked at the tent and felt a little emotional.

The players at the bottom of the valley would naturally switch their connection and go offline as soon as they fell asleep. After leaving the fog of the barren wasteland, the construction team was no longer restricted from going offline safely.

that was why the players didn’t have to worry about bugs like night attacks.

It was only when everyone transmigrated that everyone would start to have a headache. In the wilderness, countless people could only sleep on the ground, and only the players could escape from their tents.

After Zhao Xu sat down in the tent, he continued to read an arcane book in the light of the oil lamp at the top of the tent.

at the same time, there was a goatskin scroll spread out on the coffee table in front of him. zhao xu’s quick-writing quill was jumping up and down on the scroll as he wrote down new spells.

before zhao xu reached level 9 and gained unlimited potential points, which would allow him to restore his spells as he pleased, these scrolls would still be a powerful way to replenish his spell slots.

vivian, on the other hand, was taking off her armor piece by piece. although mithril armor was lighter, it had many components. it was difficult for ordinary people to put it on and take it off without an entourage.

“Vivian, have you participated in any battles before?” zhao xu suddenly asked out of curiosity.

“No, I didn’t.” vivian shook her head firmly. ” we’re basically the gifts prepared by lady cang ye. she naturally won’t let the gift be damaged. ”

then I see that you’re going all out with your evil-vanquishing slash right from the start. You don’t leave any room for retreat at all. Zhao Xu was curious.

When Vivian heard this, she frowned slightly. this was taught to me by lady Wuyue. She said that I had to quickly familiarize myself with the function of the evil-vanquishing slash. It’s best to use the evil-vanquishing slash as the first strike and cut off all means of retreat.”

“she has follow-up arrangements for you?” Zhao Xu was surprised.

Vivian nodded. yes, lady Wuyue suggested that I gain the ability to dispel, and then use it to obtain the ‘divine power’.

“God-bestowed power?” Even though Zhao Xu wasn’t a Saint Samurai, he was still quite curious about how a Saint Samurai could strengthen themselves.

” this is a specialty. by consuming the number of dispel times, it can stack my attack damage with charm adjustment. ”

zhao xu couldn’t help but look at the holy avenger in vivian’s hand. vivian, who had her charm adjusted to 8, was indeed quite powerful when paired with this move.

he had even thought of an unsolvable trick by combining it with his weapon strengthening spell.

if vivian’s attack power was enough, wouldn’t it be easy to kill anyone below the legendary level?

vivian continued, ” after i gained the ability to dispel and berate, as well as a level 1 divine spell, lady wuyue said that if my heart was as still as water and i was confused about the future, i could advance to a mysterious advanced profession-skeleton knight. ”

it’s also a mysterious advancement from the multiverse. It’s probably the strongest advancement of the priest profession with the ability to focus on close combat.

Zhao Xu himself had the abilities of a level 1 cleric, and the war priest was considered to be one of the stronger types of clerics, so he was also very curious. what’s so special about this advancement? ”

vivian tilted her head slightly and said, ” it can mainly obtain a large amount of immunity, or the kind of superpower, such as shock, bruise, heavy strike, sleep, poison, paralysis, instant death, fatigue, physical damage, attribute absorption, energy absorption, and so on. ”

as he looked at vivian counting the number of abilities he would be able to gain from this level up, zhao xu started to think about how he would be able to level up his divine arts after he reached level 9.

With these immunity abilities, they were undoubtedly the warbeasts on the battlefield.

Just as Zhao Xu tried to ask more questions, he suddenly felt a violent tremor coming from the ground.

Immediately after, a loud rumbling sound was heard.
