The Truth of Magic

Chapter 691

691 Hundred great spell cannon towers!

Zhao Xu’s thoughts were very optimistic, but if these walls were really filled with magic, then he might not be able to dispel the effects of the magic with the level 3 spell, dispel magic.

The 3rd-circle dispel spell had a maximum level of 10, while the 6th-circle advanced dispel spell had a maximum level of 20.

Even a clever housewife can not cook without rice. Once the gap was widened, it was not something he could break through.

In the end, Zhao Xu managed to calm himself down and continued to cast spells to increase his speed as he continued to waste his energy.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you cast a level 1 spell,’stride’, on yourself. Your standard speed on the ground is increased by 0.5 meters per second. Duration: 33h?

[ adventurer zhongxia, you cast a 1st-circle ‘rub oil on your shoes’ spell on yourself. The ground indicates that your speed has increased by 1.5 meters per second. Duration: 33min?

[ adventurer zhongxia, you cast the 2nd-circle spell, light steps, on yourself. Your speed on the ground increases by 0.5 meters per second. Duration: 12h?

[ adventurer zhongxia, you cast the 4th-circle ‘breeze’ on yourself. Ground speed increased by 100%. 12h?

Zhao Xu was already able to play tricks on her just by looking at her walking speed.

Not to mention, he had also cast the second-circle spell, ” spider walk, ” for himself, which gave him the ability to walk on walls.

At the same time, Zhao Xu also used his potential points to simulate ” material-free casting “. Otherwise, he would have to swallow a drop of asphalt and a live spider at the same time just to cast this spell. It was a very heavy taste.

To be on the safe side, and to consider the possibility of the terrain changing later on, Zhao Xu also used the second-circle steadier steps.

In the 33 minutes of the spell’s duration, he would become as steady as a wild goat. The power of magic allowed him to walk on unpredictable terrain as if it was flat ground.

after going through 20 rounds of repeating level one traps, zhao xu finally let out a sigh of relief because he heard the message that he had successfully passed the first level.

He finally understood the rules of the game.

In this basketball court-sized sealed secret room, he was certain that he would trigger all the traps. Then, he would just have to repeat these common traps twenty times.

with the 13 types of traps that zhao xu had just been through, he had managed to survive a total of 260 level 1 traps.

One or two level one traps were nothing, but when thirteen of them attacked him from both sides, even if he was bold and skilled, he still felt a little flustered.

But before Zhao Xu could let out a breath to relax, he immediately stopped laughing.

The second stage had 12 Level 2 traps.

Brown box of mold trap, ceiling brick trap, burning hand trap, camouflage trap, cause light injury trap, javelin trap, large net trap, pitfall trap, poison needle trap, spike trap, tripping chain trap, and high camouflage trap.

All of this was like a feast, and it was being served to him one after another. Zhao Xu also saw the magic traps that had started to appear, as well as some Level 1 traps that had just been upgraded.

He knew that as long as he got through this, he would be safe, so this time, Zhao Xu was more than at ease. Even though he was being controlled to walk on the ground, he was still like a jumping elf as he kept on floating and flashing across the brick floor.

Slowly, the announcements that Zhao Xu had passed the checkpoint started to get more and more frequent.

By the time he reached level 10, which was the peak of the conventional traps, he only had six types of traps left.

Fortunately, these traps were inanimate objects. Even though the energy drain traps would drop by two to eight levels if he hit them, Zhao Xu still managed to dodge them with his own defense.

The Banshee’s wail was a trap that could be triggered at close range, so Zhao Xu really couldn’t avoid it. The entire secret room was completely filled with the Banshee’s cruel and shrill singing.

luckily, zhao xu had been prepared for this. he had cast the 4th circle, death ward, and he was immune to all death spells, magic death effects, energy absorption, and other negative effects, so he was able to survive the attack.

It had to be said that at the beginning of the trap level, as these trap attacks covered the entire area, such as the arrival of the acid mist trap, Zhao Xu was always faced with situations where he couldn’t Dodge, and he could only choose to take them head on.

In the end, as he looked at the ceiling above him, which was mercilessly crushing down on him, Zhao Xu even felt like he was going to go to a shopfront.

The crushing room trap never failed.

It could kill all the targets in the trap room on the spot. Of course, the actual damage curve was 16-96(16d6) points of damage.

Compared to those with more than 100 health points, saying that they were unkillable was an underestimation of the tenacity of these adventurers. They would not die even if they were crushed by boulders, broken bones, or even crushed. This was also one of the common conditions of high health creatures.

Zhao Xu was prepared for this. On one hand, he cast the gaseous form spell on himself.

Arthur had a lot of openings, and Zhao Xu could find a few even with his eyes closed.

It didn’t allow him to hide in the spirit world, but it didn’t stop Zhao Xu from changing his form. He turned into a transparent mist on the spot, and all of his magic items became invisible.

his speed also dropped to less than half a meter per second, and zhao xu could only fly slowly.

however, he was also prepared for two scenarios.

Fatal wound healing, which could recover a full 52 (4d8 + level, max level) HP, was a twin extreme effect. He always put it on himself, in case he was suddenly dispelled from the gaseous form.

After all, he could only use ” dispel magic “, but it was still unknown if the other party could use ” mage disjunction.

And if things went awry, Zhao Xu was prepared to use the Level 4 shapeshifting spell to turn himself into a super-tiny creature. Then, he would be able to hide in the cracks in the wall with ease.

Fortunately, the entire process didn’t cause any problems for Zhao Xu. Even when a level 7 monster summoning Trap appeared, Zhao Xu would mercilessly smash the Hama demons that were summoned with his Hammer of Justice.

Finally, after the 10th round of traps, Zhao Xu got his spirits up again. He was extremely cautious and on guard against the 11th light’s trap, which he didn’t know anything about.

A legendary trap?

Zhao Xu asked.

However, a rumbling sound immediately came from the secret room, giving him a bad feeling.

Eh?

Zhao Xu looked at the Stone Dragon head that was spinning out of the wall like a hidden door. He scanned it with his secret sight and almost started cursing!

Incantation turret!

Did she really think that he was a terrorist?

Zhao Xu cursed and swore, but he didn’t show any signs of stopping his casting.

when he was adventuring at level 1 and entered the underground, the eighth-circle wizard, clayon, had cast an illusion and forged a runic cannon tower.

At that time, Reyan had been casting spells on his own the entire time. Every round, he had cast fireball, Ghoul Touch, and other spells to bombard their area.

...

it was all thanks to the magic staff that antonya had given him that zhao xu was able to cast the nullifying spell that was stored within it in his ultimate state. that was how he was able to escape from the spell cannon tower’s area of effect while the fifth round was cooling down.

But now, when Zhao Xu looked up, he saw that there were a total of 100 rune cannon towers!

And they were genuine, the kind that were neatly arranged in rows!

The floating city of Mystra and the rune cannon towers near the tower of the final scroll probably only had this many of them.

Zhao Xu had to shake his head.

The runic cannon tower was an extremely threatening thing, something between a trap and a construct.

Most powerful mages liked to use the runic cannon towers to guard the mage towers or the important areas of the Association, while the priests liked to place them in the most favored tombs of the believers.

If Yoo ‘er really couldn’t be revived and died, Zhao Xu would definitely throw a bunch of rune cannons at her so that she wouldn’t be swept up by the grave robbers after she died. Then, he would use his psychological attacks on her and make sure that she would die the moment she came.

Even though he had encountered this item before, Zhao Xu still searched through his mystical knowledge and tried to understand the details of this item.

The runic cannon towers were all replicated at the end of the corridor, installed on the wall or ceiling. If they were not activated, they would be integrated with the surface material, and there was also an anti-detection spell to hide the magic aura.

However, the key was that this thing came with a 40-meter range of truth. Once he got close and was recognized by the trigger, he would be directly locked on and attacked.

...

Otherwise, Zhao Xu would’ve changed into a disguise on the spot to see if he could hide it.

Most rune turrets took the shape of crystal spears, turrets, or gargoyles with extended arms.

Just as Zhao Xu was thinking about this, he noticed that these rune cannon towers had started to accumulate energy and were getting ready to shoot at him.

As expected!

Zhao Xu cursed under his breath at how shameless he was. He finally understood why he had suddenly received more than ten invisible imprisonment spells. It turned out that these rune cannon towers had been deployed to attack him at the last minute.

That living cellar was really shameless.

The runic cannon tower could store four spells at the same time, but they had to be of the same level, the same spell list, and then belonged to different guilds.

Once activated, these rune turrets would rapidly release the spells stored in them in every round until the fifth round was suspended. At the same time, they would repair themselves with 4d8 +20 damage, just like healing fatal injuries.

Just like at this moment, he had already identified through his mystical eye that these one hundred runic cannon towers that were fired simultaneously were all different types of first-circle spells.

Zhao Xu immediately raised his hand.

[ secondary spell nullifying barrier. ]

This meant that under the protection of this spell barrier, he didn’t have to worry about any spells below level 3.

11th level, 1st circle rune cannon tower.

Then the 19th level would be the nine-ring rune cannon tower?

Zhao Xu thought about the 100 level 9 spells that were all flying towards him at the same time. His heart rate and blood pressure had been extremely normal, but he suddenly felt his blood flow speed up and the blood vessels in his body started to relax. He was blushing.

A hundred!

Nine rings!

Even if he was a God, he wouldn’t be able to block this!

Not even Mystra was at this level!

Zhao Xu had already realized that the 11th to 13th stages would be the most important time for him to cast his spells.

He had to prepare his spells in advance to face the incoming flood of Level 4 and level 5 spells.

It was as if an Army of a hundred mages was charging at him.

Zhao Xu guessed that after four rounds of shooting, they would just treat it as one wave. If they repeated this 20 times, they would be able to successfully pass the 11th level.

In this level, he had to withstand a total of 100 turrets, four rounds of salvo, and a total of 20 waves, which meant 8000 first-circle spells.

After letting out a sigh, Zhao Xu quickly scanned the entire area and started to quietly calculate the frequency at which level 1 spells were cast.

However, after the first wave of the fourth volley, his expression changed slightly as he counted.
