The Truth of Magic

Chapter 490

490 The Lord of the Abyss

Knowledge is power. This was not an empty phrase in Arthur.

Many of the secrets that disappeared in the turbulent history of Arthur could even make a mortal become a God on the spot.

This was also why there were more than ten types of “knowledge skills” in Arthur’s skill system. Just by connecting them to the source of knowledge, countless Wizards had invested a large number of skill points in their already poor skill points.

Now, one of the three demon lords who had witnessed the rise and fall of the last generation of gods was willing to reveal a part of history to him. This was an opportunity that countless people dreamed of but could not get.

even if the evil demon king’s malicious curse was in front of them, the mages would still risk their lives for it, even if it meant going through fire and water.

Only mages who had experienced suffering knew that some “knowledge” was priceless.

The demon general grazite, who was standing behind Zhao Xu, could feel Zhao Xu’s silent approval.

He couldn’t help but let out a satisfied laugh. It was like the sound of lava boiling when a volcano was about to erupt.

“The first time we met, you stood up for the mage Frank to get his soul back. At that time, in order to ensure the effect of the ‘oath’, you attracted the power of the goddess of magic, sisylvana, on the spot.”

the power of the true God, with the help of the nine-circle divine spell ‘miracle’, no, it should be called’ divine miracle’, formed an impenetrable cage and blocked the attack of my power of the abyss on the spot.

“can you imagine that scene? how humiliating would that be for a lord of the abyss?”

The demon general grazite said in a high-pitched voice, with a hint of lamentation.

When he heard this, Zhao Xu finally understood.

He had still underestimated the price of ‘angering’ an evil demon King.

If it wasn’t for the ninth-circle sorcerer Frank who gave him the Mithril crystal, the legendary Necromancer staff, and the Super Magic instantaneous scepter, which could bring him tens of millions of gold coins in the future, this business would have been a huge loss.

“the gods spread the light of faith, making the devout and determined among the believers become priests and cast divine spells. But this also involved the cost problem and the limit of the scale of divine power. Otherwise, all the believers below would have become legendary priests, and Arthur would have been completely ruled by a God overnight, so you didn’t know the value of your ‘miracle’ at that time.”

“I noticed that you were only able to cast powerful divine spells by relying on the ability of the Holy Spirit’s possession. However, every miracle can only be performed after being examined by the gods, or it has the endorsement of the gods.”

“It’s a priest’s sin to kill innocents with divine spells. However, using a miracle spell to wipe out all the living beings in a city will only show the will of the God. The church of a good God won’t even say a word and will instead crown you as a Saint.”

Zhao Xu just curled his lips in disdain.

This demon general grazite had been dragging on the topic of the long history of the ancient times and had only been talking about all these random things. He had even deliberately instilled in Zhao Xu the idea that his Dao heart would collapse, but he was starting to look down on Zhao Xu, who had been exposed to Arthur’s culture for ten years.

To put it bluntly, no one on earth could betray the class they belonged to.

And in Arthur, there was no existence that could betray their true faction.

The gods of the good camp would only start from the good camp and would not use ghostly tricks to do things against the camp.

This was also the reason why mortals believed in gods and respected priests.

“So, at that time, I was very curious as to why the goddess of magic, sisylvana, doted on you so much. Especially sisylvana’s style, she’s not like the goddess of magic in some universes, who has the tendency to descend to the mortal world to get to know ordinary people, fall in love with them, and give birth to a child of God.”

“As I paid more attention, I discovered even more wonderful elements. You’re actually just a normal level 1 priest, and a player at that. With all these factors combined, I believe that you must have a very special place.”

At this moment, the demon general grazite’s voice started to become excited and surging, and it was even trembling.

in the end, my believers in the floating city managed to find out something for me. A mysterious player mage sat on the chair that had once been the arcane King. When that person was undergoing the awakening ceremony, the seven-colored flowing light poured down, even enshrouding him.”

“All these speculations made me cast my gaze towards your fate.”

Mystra’s floating city rejects the divine power of most gods, except for the divine power of the goddess of magic. That’s one of the few places she’s reserved for herself. Thus, she, who possesses the divine power of destiny, made the selection for me. ”

and this is the beginning of our story, the beginning of Arthur, the legend of The Twin Snakes of order creating the world.

as soon as he finished speaking, zhao xu felt the air around him start to move rapidly.

It was mixed with the smell of sulfur and smoke, and it was constantly spurting out from the smoke-shrouded altar.

“World creation?” Zhao Xu was a little surprised.

“That’s right. This was a legend about Arthur’s earliest creation and a prophecy about the end of the world. Most of the people who were lucky enough to hear it only heard a part of it. Even the first elemental gods, the Lord of the Abyss like me, and the gods who ascended to the top in the later generations knew little about this.”

“What legend and prophecy is it about?” Zhao Xu could already feel his heart, and he couldn’t help but start to beat along with it.

“Ernest?” he immediately asked.

Legends referred to things that had happened in the past, while prophecies were the possibilities of telling the future.

He had only heard about the destruction of the world not too long ago, when Antonya had taken him to visit the elemental God, moszeline.

“Hehe, I’m fine. As for the specific legend, you have to ask ‘Ernest’, who has left Arthur, to repeat it again to know the whole story. As for prophecies, I’ve heard some of them.” When grazite said this, Zhao Xu could even hear grazite gnashing his teeth in anger.

“You’ve suffered before?” Zhao Xu asked in return.

“If it wasn’t for that cunning Ernest’s interference and the deliberate guidance of such a prophecy, how could I, the great grazite, still not be able to unify the abyss?”

not to mention ‘Lord of abyss’, you can’t even become a’ King ‘in name? ” Grazite said resentfully.

He, who had extremely strong self-control, still could not hide the anger and hatred in his chest when he mentioned the past.

“What prophecy did he say?” Even though he knew that this wasn’t a good idea, Zhao Xu still couldn’t hide the gossip that he was feeling.

Since he couldn’t hear the first ” legend, ” he might as well listen to the subsequent ” prophecy.

“Ha.” Grazite was also a little lonely, as if he was able to explain to someone for the first time after years of depression.

an ancient and immortal existence has descended with the consciousness of the world’s birth. The abyss will welcome its true master. When the time comes, the netherworld River will flow backwards, and a new bloody war will spread to the world, deciding the final destruction or restart.”

“Is this a big deal?” Zhao Xu flipped the original text over and over again, but he couldn’t find anything wrong with it.

How did it stop grazite from becoming the ‘King’?

When they heard that the world was going to be destroyed, the demons would probably be so excited that they would be overwhelmed with emotions.

Chaos and evil, there was no logic to speak of.

And if this prophecy was a tragic fate that was bound to come true ...

...

Then why was grazite so excited to fight for the position of the ‘Devil King’? shouldn’t he have given up long ago?

“There’s no reason to speak of, but, but-”

Grazite’s voice started to weaken as he spoke, and Zhao Xu could even see the shadow in front of him start to sway.

“However, just like that, it wiped out the existence of the consciousness that had not witnessed the birth of the world.

With just a prophecy, he managed to pull me down from my position when I was about to become the ‘common master’ by using power and strategy.”

the more ancient demon lords became more ambitious and believed that they were the future masters of the abyss. They immediately refused to obey my rule.

the abyss, which originally sought unity and went against the essence of chaos, was torn apart by this prophecy. This is an extremely rare opportunity for unity.

“......”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he didn’t know if he should say good or bad.

Witnessing the creation of the world was a matter of great importance.

Last time, Ernest had used a prophecy to make moszeline, an ancient God who had witnessed the birth of the world, commit suicide.

...

As for the famous monarch of the Dark Phoenix tribe, grazite, he was known for his strength, but he didn’t have much to do with the word ‘ancient’.

If the oldest demon had the ability, he would have unified most of the abyss long ago. There would be no chance for a rising star like grazite to emerge.

“Then how did you find out that something was wrong?”

Zhao Xu asked. Grazite was still thinking about becoming King, so it was clear that the situation was different now.

“Because the Lord who heard this ‘prophecy’ was mistaken. At that time, Ernest spoke the prophecy in the ancient language of purgatory, but the Lord was too young to understand it and misheard ‘hell’ as ‘abyss’. ”

suddenly, zhao xu felt as if a flock of crows had just flown past his ears.

Was this a joke?
