The Truth of Magic

Chapter 522

522 Dream Ritual, short-wave message

In fact, no matter how the noisy audience guessed, they did not expect that a single one-ring secondary strong acid ball would deal a full 80 points of damage.

A 3rd-circle fireball spell was less than half of its original power, and it would also be dodged by half.

Or rather, the entire process was beyond Zhao Xu’s expectations.

Compared to mages like them, who would gain [ 1-4+ Constitution adjustment ] HP with each level, undead creatures like vampires would gain 1-12 hp with each level because they didn’t have any Constitution adjustment.

but the other party was still too weak and couldn’t even survive zhao xu’s 80 points of damage.

He used extreme spell to Max out the damage of lesser acid ball to 40 points, and with spell twins, it was 80 points.

Most of the current players couldn’t even withstand a single 80 damage secondary ball from Zhao Xu.

Not to mention the spell series of this ball, there were also various elements such as sound waves, fire, and cold.

Further up, Zhao Xu could also use a level 4 ” strong acid ball “, which would have a range of 15d6 and a nauseating effect.

With the help of Zhao Xu’s metamagic abilities, it directly dealt 180 points of damage without any discount.

But the only price to pay was that Zhao Xu had to pay the price of 3 (extreme) +4 (twin) -1 (Supreme magical mastery), which was equivalent to 6 points of temporary attribute damage, for his Supreme magical control.

Fortunately, his six attributes now added up to 115 points. Even if he did not cast the level 3 ” mental protection ” spell in advance to be immune to attribute damage, it would not be a big problem.

After returning to his room, Zhao Xu asked Vivian to keep him on guard.

He performed a ritual to reconnect to the library of legends in the floating city and to Lu duo to find the dream Ritual.

Zhao Xu didn’t leave the hotel until it was almost 3 pm. After all the searches in the hotel had been completed, everything returned to normal. Zhao Xu also successfully got the information he wanted and went offline right away.

———-

After his consciousness returned to earth, Zhao Xu woke up on his familiar and soft bed.

The ritual content that he had just read in the ‘library of legends’ kept flashing in his mind.

Zhao Xu tried to connect to the Supreme artifact in his heart, lacus, but there was still no response.

This also meant that he would have to rely on himself for what he was going to do next.

Since ancient times, among the methods of “divinity show,” dream-telling was an effective and safe method.

It had the means of space isolation to protect the prominent divine stage.

It was also the most crucial step-to be able to cross the distance of space.

No matter how stubborn a person was, they would not be able to withstand the same dream content three to four times. Not to mention that dreams had more subconscious effects, so their thinking and wariness would be much lower.

in arthur, zhao xu had actually already mastered a spell that could invade dreams-level 4 ” dreamland. ” it was similar to a spell called ” teleport to another world ” and could send the target into another person’s dream.

There was even the fifth-circle ” nightmare spell “, which could control the body while others were in the dream, just like the ” Monster Control spell.

However, earth and Arthur were in different universes, so Zhao Xu couldn’t use level 4 spells in Arthur to get through the material energy tunnel.

If the other party happened to be sleeping in Arthur, even if he could succeed, Zheng xinyun would only think that the deviant Corp in her dream was some kind of game content, not to mention the protection of the gods on the mind.

It might be interesting, but he would not be serious.

Therefore, he needed to use the ‘dream invasion’ technique on ‘earth’.

Zhao Xu naturally couldn’t use any spells, but besides spells, Arthur also had another method-rituals.

this was also a ” technique ” that zhao xu had found in the library.

After thinking it through, he tiptoed to the storage room next to the living room and searched for the ” target item ” he needed with a flashlight.

Candles, cardboard, red oil-based pens, scented essential oils, mirrors

Rituals were essentially similar to spells, but the difference was that they could be performed by non-spellcasters.

Performing a ritual was like cooking a dish.

Zhao Xu first found the ” recipe ” (content of the ritual), then prepared the ” ingredients ” (ritual ingredients), and then through ” processing ” (setting up the ritual), and with the ” cooking ” (incantation gesture), he was able to cast it.

After he was done preparing the materials for the ceremony, Zhao Xu went back to his room and locked himself up. However, he chose to go to the balcony instead.

After another hour or so, the moonlight would be covered by the dawn.

Now was the best time to do so. The moonlight was as cold as flowing water and it was pouring down on Zhao Xu’s balcony, shining on his face.

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, then started to place the cards on the table and quietly set up on the balcony.

The reason why rituals couldn’t replace ” magic ” was that they were ” complicated ” and ” had many specific requirements.

Just like the ” ritual ” that could ” teleport to the garden of Joseph, ” the land of resurrection-the journey of heroska. It required a thatched house in the dense forest, and it was only effective during the winter solstice.

For example, Zhao Xu’s current Dream Ritual could only be used when the moon was close to the full moon. So if he delayed it for a few more days, he wouldn’t be able to fulfill the conditions.

Zhao Xu, who was extremely focused, could use his high intelligence to clearly remember the entire process of the ritual. This was also the reason why he had the confidence to perform the dream Ritual.

The process of setting up and casting the spell was very complicated. If he made a mistake, the ritual would fail.

This could lead to unpredictable consequences.

And the level of one’s mystical knowledge was the key factor in determining the level of the ritual. Luckily, Zhao Xu leveled up too quickly, so while the other players were busy fighting monsters, he was focused on studying his mystical knowledge and his religious knowledge, trying his best to level up these two.

More importantly, Antonya had visited this place before and left some ” protection ” for the house.

At the same time, the target of his ritual was still ” Zheng xinyun “. He knew every detail about her, and now he had an additional layer of indirect identity as a ” believer “.

Zhao Xu felt that he had already exceeded a 90% success rate for the entire ritual.

In the end, when the final version of the magic circle was completed, Zhao Xu followed the ritual’s requirements and maintained a mysterious breathing rate.

At the same time, he lit the candle in the center.

...

As the city’s power outages decreased, products like candles slowly disappeared from people’s eyes.

At this moment, the candle flame was floating above the body of the candle. As Zhao Xu chanted the incantation in a low voice, his hands started to make repeated hand signs, and the candle flame also started to jump faster as if it was being disturbed by the wind.

He chanted for almost ten minutes, and there was nothing out of the ordinary throughout the entire process.

Only Zhao Xu knew what stage he was at.

In an instant, he wiped a handful of mint ointment on his forehead and drew it according to the incantation of the spirit, like a dragon Snake.

That cold feeling slowly seeped into his skin and it didn’t go away until after a few minutes. Zhao Xu grabbed a handful of sandalwood incense that his father had bought at a very high price and lit it up. He then flicked it gently and shook off the ashes.

At the same time, he placed his gold pendant, which had been flattened into a thin piece by a pair of pincers, on the candle. Snoopy’s appearance on it was no longer in shape.

suddenly, zhao xu felt as if his brain was being filled with blood. he could feel a mysterious power emerging from his body.

In an instant, the ” gold piece ” that would have only been dyed black by the candlelight melted miraculously.

The gold that wasn’t at a high temperature of over 1000 degrees couldn’t be melted at all, but it started to melt in front of Zhao Xu and then disappeared.

Burning money was also one of the characteristics of a ritual.

...

But at this point, Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and continued to chant the mysterious incantation in his heart that he hadn’t stopped chanting.

In an instant, the candle that could last for half an hour was completely burned out.

Zhao Xu’s entire body slowly fell backwards.

He fell into a deep sleep.

that’s strange. What kind of signal is this? ”

In the middle of the night, a man who couldn’t sleep was tuning his short-wave radio when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in a usually silent frequency.

However, just as he saw the several kilohertz band on it and was about to record it and listen carefully, the sound disappeared mysteriously.

this should be an International Band, but it’s so powerful. There’s no white noise at all, and I can even hear it here.

The man pondered silently in his heart, but after listening for a while and not realizing anything, he put down his headphones again.

At this moment, a faint, almost inaudible voice came from the radio, as if it was calling someone’s name.
