The Truth of Magic - Chapter 149
149 the power of the final scroll’s second layer
Just as Zhao Xu was still trying to figure out the possibilities, the spellbook with the fireball spell in it fell right in front of him.
In the final scroll, each spell represented a spellbook. At the same time, the cover of the book would also have the distinctive features of the spell.
when the fireball spell book was spread out in front of zhao xu, the metal frame of the book was still on fire.
!!
In the underground mine, although the runic cannon tower was made up by Clayon with an illusion, every spell shot by the runic cannon tower was personally released by Clayon, so it was completely worth it.
this was why zhao xu had seen the power of a fireball up close in both of his lives. it was like an exploded grenade.
But this time, Zhao Xu looked at the incantations on the spellbook, but he couldn’t make any sense of them. When he thought about this, Zhao Xu finally understood that the faint barrier hadn’t completely disappeared just because he was in the final scroll.
But Zhao Xu wasn’t discouraged. He just had to do it seven more times.
At that time, he would probably be the only person in Arthur who had learned all the spells.
And when he was tested in the witch’s treasure chest, which was what happened in the forest of prophecy, Zhao Xu understood something.
the real wealth in the final scroll was not that he could copy spells without paying the material and borrowing fees.
Instead, he could obtain all the spells that had been recorded in history, from the ones that were so trashy that no one could learn them, to the ones that were sealed because they destroyed the balance of the world.
They were all available in the final scroll.
It wasn’t that no mages wanted to show off their skills.
However, they couldn’t be like Zhao Xu, who was able to master spells like “song of knowledge” and “skill enhancement “, which were never taught to outsiders.
after every wizard leveled up, people like zhao xu, who had reached level 3 and could start learning level 2 spells, would be able to get two spells from the wizard association for free.
some of the talented mages could decide on their own or even apply for specific spells.
But for the vast majority of mages, they could only come into contact with the limited core list of spells.
Many of the truly diverse and even more powerful expansion-type spells were secrets that could not be passed on.
zhao xu was just about to leave when he remembered that antonya had come back to look for him after he had left. she had then waited for him for another half an hour when she saw that he was still copying spells before she dragged him away and teleported him away.
The space in the final scroll limited the use of teleportation from the outside world, but it did not prohibit the use of teleportation from the inside.
Just like the God’s kingdom, every mage who had mastered the level-nine spell, gate between worlds, could open the door to the core area of the God’s kingdom.
It was just that the gods could close the gate between worlds at will.
this was also the reason why antonya had taken zhao xu to the ruins of the itre dynasty.
Without Antonya’s permission, no one would be able to teleport to that area.
There was a row of teleportation spells lying quietly in Zhao Xu’s consciousness: Teleportation spell, advanced teleportation spell, teleportation circle, Otherworld teleportation, advanced Otherworld teleportation, windstorm walk, Earth Control, City jump, and boundary vortex.
he just didn’t know any of them.
Zhao Xu was conflicted. He couldn’t possibly have to stay here for a few days, right?
he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
But Zhao Xu wasn’t too worried. He thought about it for a bit before he started exploring the area that the final scroll was in.
from the moment he entered this place, he had been busy copying spells into the depths of his heart with the enlightened spellcaster ability, so he had basically never walked around.
according to what antonya had said, the space that he was in was just one of the final scroll’s manifestations.
even if someone else entered the final scroll with him, they might not necessarily encounter him.
when zhao xu walked into the layers of bookshelves, he suddenly realized that every book was shaking slightly. it wasn’t very much, but it showed that they had some sort of life force.
After Zhao Xu had come into contact with an item or companion, he knew that it wasn’t rare for an item to have intelligence. He just didn’t have the means to come into contact with it in his previous life.
He was curious about how the spellbooks would shake when they returned to the bookshelves.
When he had copied spells before, most of them were based on the projection of the spell list on his retina and directly summoned. He had never personally picked these spell books from the beginning.
if he really had to search for them by himself, he might not be able to sort out these thousands of spellbooks even if he was given a day.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu was a little curious and he reached out to grab the level 9 cleric divine spell, face of a greater God, that was the closest to him.
after zhao xu grabbed it, he realized that there was an abstract drawing of an angel on the cover, but the angel’s face had been hidden.
Suddenly, a powerful and divine power came from the spellbook’s page, and the energy was like electric sparks, constantly beating wildly on his arms.
When Zhao Xu saw this, he couldn’t help but let go.
Suddenly, the ” appearance of a higher God ” spellbook used the book cover as a pair of wings and slowly flapped back to its original position on the bookshelf.
Before Zhao Xu could understand what was going on, he suddenly realized that there was a new line of spell-casting on his character stats.
[ level 9 divine spell: superior God’s appearance (only effective in the final scroll) ]
Zhao Xu looked at this notification and was still a little skeptical. He controlled his own consciousness and started thinking about how to cast this spell.
there was no incantation, no casting movement.
the entire space had become completely different. a powerful holy aura had gathered around zhao xu and turned into a vortex.
Suddenly, just like when Zhao Xu had transformed into a blazing God’s servant, a huge amount of extraordinary divine power kept gushing out of Zhao Xu’s body.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you cast the ‘greater God’s appearance’ on yourself. You have received +1 natural armor, glimmer vision, acid, cold, lightning resistance 10, disease immunity, damage reduction 10, magic and poison immunity +4, race resistance 25, and received +4 strength,+2 agility,+4 Constitution,+2 intelligence,+4 perception,+4 charm buffs for 17 rounds (102 seconds) ]
After this message appeared on Zhao Xu’s status panel, his character stats also increased.
The data displayed in the dynamic message was the enhancement provided by the level nine spell, ” the appearance of a higher God.
It wasn’t until 102 seconds had passed that the effects of the level 9 divine spell, greater God’s appearance, started to slowly fade away from his body. Zhao Xu also started to feel a sense of emptiness after his power started to fade.
But Zhao Xu had already understood that once he touched the spellbook, he would be able to obtain power from the spellbook and cast that spell.
From the literal meaning, he could only use it in this space.
However, it also meant that he was able to come into contact with these powerful spells much earlier than others.
especially after everyone had transmigrated, the players would have to start learning spells like wizard arthur. this effect was even more obvious.
zhao xu had only come into contact with level 1 and level 2 spells so far, and he hadn’t really reached the threshold yet.
After level 2 spells, the learning of many spells had a high failure rate. Some even failed and had to wait until they were upgraded again before they could be learned again.
The more powerful a spell was, the higher the probability of failure.
zhao xu’s path of copying second-level spells was smooth, but that was only because he was an enlightened spellcaster, and that was enough to support him.
Once he reached level three or four, he would start to face difficulties.
As long as a player’s true intelligence was not high, they would encounter this dilemma when Learning Level 2 or level 3 spells.
zhao xu didn’t have 17 points of intelligence, so there was no point in panicking. he could only make do with it for now.
However, he did not expect that he would be able to experience the feeling of casting spells in advance by touching the spellbook in the final scroll space.
but zhao xu didn’t hesitate for long. he immediately shouted, ” time stop spell book!
suddenly, the spellbook that was said to be extremely powerful, but not many mages could learn it, flew to him.
zhao xu walked up to the spellbook and started to draw power from it.
suddenly, the emotionless azure pupils on the book cover started to release the power of time and poured it into zhao xu’s body.
Zhao Xu only let go of the spellbook after his pupils closed and let it fly back on its own.
Zhao Xu looked at the library in front of him. He took out a gold coin from his backpack and placed it on the pad of his index finger. Then, he lifted it up with his thumb.
immediately, the gold coin flew up into the sky.
Just as it was about to fall under the gravity created by the final scroll …
” stop! ” zhao xu suddenly shouted. ” time stop! ”
[ adventurer zhongxia has entered time stop. Time stop: 1d4 +1 round =3+1=4 rounds (24 seconds). Countdown: 24 seconds. ]
The gold coin that was about to fall stopped in the air.
the air around them stopped flowing, and the spell books that were glowing with special effects seemed to have frozen in place.
this was the power of the level nine spell, time stop.
Zhao Xu was no longer the ignorant warrior he used to be. He now knew that this spell only gave him an extra 12 to 30 seconds of precious time.
During this time, he could not affect the outside world.
however, he could change himself because this was his timeline.
when high-level mages fought, sometimes the opening move was to stop time. it was not only to give the user time to think about the battle plan, but also to use this precious time to cast spells and lay out the layout to strengthen themselves.
zhao xu quietly waited for the 24 seconds to pass, and then he heard the clear sound of the gold coin falling to the ground.
He understood that the level nine time stop would not be a stumbling block in his path.
by right, he should have picked up those level three spellbooks and used the energy in the spellbooks to cast spells in advance to lower the threshold for future learning.
but zhao xu was acting like a player who had just received a cheating device.
“Mage’s disjunction!”
“Rainbow light magic ball!”
“warning spell!
“Wish!”
A bunch of level 9 spell books flew in front of Zhao Xu so that he could recharge them and then release them at the same time.
Gradually, Zhao Xu started to feel how the spells were flowing through his body.
