The Truth of Magic

Chapter 66

66 Counter spell

“That’s good.”

After Wang Ningwei finished speaking, she directly held the Pearl in her hand. Slowly, the magical power recovery Pearl lost its usual luster.

it would only be able to condense its original energy the next day.

after her spell slots were restored, wang ningwei’s face also looked a little ruder. she walked over to zhao xu and stuffed the mana recovery pearl back into his hand.

this is too expensive. The reward is to restore one spell slot. After she finished speaking, she slowly put some distance between her and Zhao Xu until she was in a suitable position for a mage battle.

At the same time, Wang Ningwei took off the shiny silver necklace on her chest and stuffed it into her pocket.

at this time, other than some ambitious players who were disappointed, most of the surrounding players hurriedly distanced themselves.

from the first day of their training, they had been warned that if they felt that they had cast offensive spells on their companions without permission, they would be expelled from the floating city.

this was also the reason why everyone was casting spells to their hearts ‘content in this square tonight.

Now that they finally got to see a battle between mages, how could they not be excited and cooperate?

“it seems like i’m really afraid of killing you by mistake.” antonya’s voice was transmitted into his heart after zhao xu agreed to it.

“what?”

“the necklace she was wearing performed a ritual. allows the wearer to increase the spellcaster’s level by one.” antonya explained.

I can use a ritual to increase my spellcaster level by one? ”

zhao xu realized that wang ningwei was trying to lower the damage of his magic bullet, but he still couldn’t help but be surprised by the ritual.

“yes, my headband of intellect is used to enhance this ritual.” Antonya said.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but start complaining in his heart. mentor, then why didn’t you just give me the blessing? it’s not easy for me to even bring out that ain stone.

“i’ll perform a ritual for you. you won’t be able to estimate the value. however, if i give you an ain stone with the same effect, you will know what to do and thank me. ” antonya put on a show for zhao xu.

zhao xu almost made a sound.

However, he noticed that Wang Ningwei had already stood still and was waiting for him to start.

only then did zhao xu realize that he still didn’t know what to do, so he quickly called for antonya.

“Teacher, what do I need to do?”

“Oh, when you were acting cool just now, I thought you had a plan in mind.”

Big sister Antonya, someone’s going to die.

“Alright, then. You have to be prepared to cast a spell, as long as you successfully identify the other party’s spell. I just wanted to use the same spell to cancel the other party’s spell.”

“it’s that simple?” Zhao Xu didn’t understand the logic behind this at all.

“If you can kill him, I will give you another piece of magic equipment. let’s start now.” Said Antonya directly.

the hearts of the people around them immediately tightened, and they were even more uneasy about the magic equipment.

The large circle had attracted the attention of many people, and several managers in the distance were staring in this direction.

The tiles on the ground of the entire underground square were so bright that they could reflect Zhao Xu’s figure.

wang ningwei had also entered a different state. she looked at zhao xu with full concentration and started to chant a spell.

Zhao Xu had already read her spell and didn’t need to listen to know that Wang Ningwei was going to cast a magic bullet.

After Wang Ningwei took off her necklace, she couldn’t knock him down even if she hit the maximum damage of magic bullet 1d4 +1 (2-5).

But Zhao Xu couldn’t do anything about it. All he could do was look at his character stats.

it was useless for him to recognize this spell. it had to be recognized by the system and connected to the magic source to give him feedback.

As soon as Wang Ningwei finished speaking, the magic bullets were ready to be fired.

wang ningwei was surprised.

She originally thought that Zhao Xu was trying to use a level 1 shield spell to block her magic bullets in an extreme battle of spells.

But to his surprise, at the moment when the energy was about to be fully condensed, there was still no shield in front of Zhao Xu.

the mage players who could reach mystra were all above 16 intelligence, so they didn’t leave much for constitution, unless they started with 32 talent points on their first day.

Thinking of this, Wang Ningwei made up her mind and changed her target.

Zhao Xu wasn’t blind, but he could roughly see the magic bullet that was about to form in Wang Ningwei’s palm.

He wasn’t afraid, but that didn’t mean his body wouldn’t hurt.

The torment of waiting for a verdict squeezed his heart and ground his will.

He suddenly felt the remaining strength in his body surge up again.

the magical domain once again formed a bridge between him and the origin, and zhao xu felt that he had found the right opportunity at this moment.

“What?”

“What’s going on?”

“how is that possible?”

countless people exclaimed in shock.

wang ningwei also looked at the magic bullet that had disappeared in her palm in shock.

the birds disappeared before they could even leave a trace in the sky.

antonya and zhao xu also disappeared with him.

there was only one level-one magical power recovery pearl floating in the air and slowly falling.

Finally, it fell into Wang Ningwei’s hand and into the spot where the magic bullet had been condensed.

————————————————————————————–

the night sky above the obelisk was bleak, even though many of the castles and towers around it were still lit.

However, from the highest vantage point of the floating city, the starry sky and the three moons filled with mysterious power still occupied a large area of vision.

The air was filled with the smell of rain. Although it could not break through the barrier of the floating city, it still provided some moisture to the land.

“mentor, what was i just doing?”

Zhao Xu suddenly felt his mind go blank. The magic bullet spell slot that Antonya had specially prepared for him had disappeared. At the same time, he didn’t see Wang Ningwei’s magic missile.

“You know.”

“counterspell?” zhao xu said with a hint of suspicion.

“I’m most annoyed by you people who have already guessed the joy in your heart, but still want others to congratulate you again.”

zhao xu was already used to his supervisor’s straightforward tone, so he didn’t really feel anything.

After receiving Antonya’s confirmation, it also meant that he had learned another wizard ability.

Counterspell. After successfully identifying a spell, you can use the same prepared spell to cancel out the opponent’s spell.

this meant that the day he would leave the floating city was not far away.

“as long as i have the same spell slot, i can cancel the other party’s spell?” zhao xu asked antonya for confirmation.

“That’s right. counterspell is very powerful and can cancel other people’s spells. if not used well, it’ll be a burden.”

in this world, how could there be so many spells that were prepared exactly the same?

“Teacher, is there no way to make up for it?” Zhao Xu asked.

the books were all very secretive about this, as if they were unwilling to talk about this kind of mage battle tactics.

“yes, a specialty.”

“then can i learn it?”

“sure.”

when he heard this, zhao xu started to think back to the scene where there was no wizard in front of him who could cast spells.

Suddenly, he remembered another disadvantage of counterspell and quickly asked.

teacher, counterspell can only be used once in a round. If two mages cast spells at the same time, it can’t be done. Is there any way to make up for it? ”

“yes, a specialty.”

“then can i learn it?”

“you can’t do that.”

Zhao Xu was suddenly a little confused.

“Why?”

“This requires a legendary specialty.”
