The Truth of Magic - Chapter 158
158 The mystery of the ancient times
The protective staff in Zhao Xu’s hand suddenly burst into a blinding light and shot straight at the Super large fire elemental.
and the super large fire elemental that was looking down on zhao xu, anto dales, could vaguely sense that there was something ominous about the spell’s power, so it tried to dodge to the side with all its might.
however, expel was a spell that didn’t need to be aimed. as long as it was within 10 meters, it would definitely hit. it could even continue to increase as the caster’s level increased.
!!
the fire elements didn’t pay much attention to it at first when the energy of the [expel] spell entered his body.
it had seen the spells of these wizards who blasphemed against nature, and many of the spells were derived from the spell-like abilities of various powerful creatures.
However, in just a moment, when the energy of the spell exploded …
the fire elemental asto dales had a look of disbelief on its face. it tried its best to gather the will in its body, trying to resist the powerful force of expulsion from the plane.
However, it was facing a level 20 protective magic staff, which was equivalent to a level 20 wizard casting this spell on it.
the power was completely different.
“no, that’s not possible. how can you magi just-”
the gigantic fire elemental’s voice gradually died down, and its body, which was completely made of violent flames, slowly collapsed. finally, it turned into a small flame and extinguished.
he would go back to where he came from.
This was the power of a level four divine spell, which was also a level five arcane spell.
[adventurer zhongxia has cast ‘expel’. super-large fire elemental will immunity failed and has been expelled.]
the staff in zhao xu’s hand was a level 20 spellcaster level, which was 4 points higher than the health dice of the super large fire elemental by 16hd. so, these 4 points of advantage were directly added to the difficulty of his spells.
On the other hand, the will of the fire element was not immune to it. Naturally, it could not resist it and would only be expelled.
This was also a problem that all Otherworld creatures would face.
no matter how strong they were, when faced with spell casters like zhao xu, who had skills like expel and banish, there was a possibility that they would be driven away.
the priest looked at the fire elemental that he had summoned with all his power and was destroyed so easily by zhao xu’s one attack. he fell into a daze.
He couldn’t understand what had happened.
It was as if the man in front of her was a demonic god.
with just a wave of his hand, he had gotten rid of an oracle from the fire elemental plane that he had summoned after consuming the power of countless sacrifices.
The firm belief in the priest’s heart began to shake.
he looked at zhao xu and was about to ask him how he had done it, but the ‘law: The fourth wave of damage didn’t stop.
It was as if someone had used a sharp blade on him, and the immense pain immediately made him fall into a coma.
zhao xu stood in the distance and slowly walked over after he saw the priest dressed like a primitive shaman fall to the ground.
the other party’s hp had only fallen below zero. it had not reached the point where it would truly die if it was below-10 hp.
But Zhao Xu couldn’t be bothered to do it anymore.
he looked at the priest who had knelt down and fainted from the pain, counting down silently.
until the one minute was up.
Zhao Xu was about to go up and check on the other party’s condition to make sure if he was really dead.
as a good priest, he couldn’t cast the ” fate reading spell “, which could check whether the surrounding creatures were fake dead, because this spell was evil.
this was also the reason why zhao xu had chosen to be neutral in the beginning, but he had no choice but to go a little too far.
However, after he became an archivist, he could cast good or evil spells without fear. But the fate reading spell had a level 1 spell slot, so Zhao Xu decided to save it and let himself test it out.
however, zhao xu had only taken two steps forward when he realized that the priest’s body had burst into flames on the spot, and the raging flames shot up into the sky.
when he saw these flames of unknown strength, zhao xu immediately knew that some supernatural power was involved.
They believed in the god of fire and were engulfed in flames after death. They were even reincarnated as fire elementals.
this was probably the reason why the priest was willing to sacrifice so many lives to pave the way for himself.
zhao xu looked at the blood-stained ground and couldn’t help but sigh.
During his time as a public security officer, Arthur rarely dared to carry out evil god rituals. Any one of them would be an earth-shattering case, and the local good God’s church would be involved.
even if it did happen, it was usually investigated by high-level adventurers, and rarely by a sheriff like him.
that was why zhao xu had never heard of the true names of any demon lord or evil god in his previous life.
Slowly, after the deity’s soul was taken away, the flaming light around the deity’s body began to dim.
Zhao Xu had been on high alert the entire time, on guard against any sudden movements.
When he saw that there was nothing out of the ordinary, Zhao Xu let out a sigh of relief. But he felt like it would be too much of a hassle to stay here any longer, so he walked over the corpse and over to the stone tablet.
That incredibly tall Molin stone stele was now standing right in front of him. Zhao Xu tried to reach out and touch it along the lines on the stone stele, and he felt a cold sensation coming from within.
It was the complete opposite of the scorching environment.
It was as if the stone tablet was in another dimension.
why did the priest choose to drive the villagers to this place? and what did this have to do with the stone tablet?
Zhao Xu knew that in ancient times, many places used this sort of brutal method to offer sacrifices to the gods.
It wasn’t until the emergence of the Orthodox gods in the future that the entire God system began to regulate and unify that this primitive and barbaric act of sacrifice was banned. It was only seen in some remote ancient tribes or some rituals of evil gods.
However, Zhao Xu was getting a headache just looking at this stone tablet. The stone tablet he had encountered in the prophecy forest had at least some mysterious words that could be identified through a knowledge check.
However, the stone tablet was completely blank.
could it be that he had to use some sort of password to activate it?
if he shouted ” antonya, ” she would know and use a spell to pull him back to the real world.
and how was he going to trigger this stone tablet?
The ” Anto Dales ” summoned by the priest was only a level 7 super-large fire elemental. Above it were giant, elder, and Prince.
in the fire elemental plane, he would be a lackey. it was only because he was summoned to the ancient times when the current adventurer level was not high enough that he could be so arrogant.
but no matter how much zhao xu looked down on this fire elemental, if he wanted to summon it in the future, he would have to use a level 7 monster summon spell.
This also meant that the priest had just used his own blood to cast a level Seven arcane spell.
This was the power of a level 13 wizard.
other than the sacrifices, it must also be related to the stone tablet.
Could that be his real name?
zhao xu looked at the stone tablet and started to recall the true names of the elemental gods from the dark age.
most of the records of the dark age had been lost in the long river of history. in addition, the gods were not willing to resurrect the elemental gods, so this part of history had always been hidden.
Zhao Xu had also read the path of Arcana that Antonya had written and had also read up on the relevant materials when he was raising his knowledge (religion) and knowledge (dimension), so he was able to find some clues.
“moss zelin,” Zhao Xu asked as he prayed.
He didn’t know the names of the gods in this era, but he knew that ” moszerin ” was a name that had a deep meaning in the fire elemental Plane.
this name even appeared on some related spells.
Suddenly, the entire stone tablet began to shake.
The stone tablet’s originally cold and penetrating depths turned red Hot, as if the entire stone tablet was rapidly heating up.
Zhao Xu immediately took a step back.
slowly, a pair of burning eyes appeared on the stone tablet, accompanied by a faint outline.
“Who is it that has called us here?”
Zhao Xu looked at the outline that had suddenly appeared on the stone tablet and started to think.
at this moment, antonya’s name was already stuck in his throat, ready to be called out at any moment.
“Time traveler, were you the one who killed my people?”
zhao xu was a little surprised. he didn’t think that the other party would be able to see through his identity so quickly.
however, how could he kill them? he had only expelled the fire element just now.
however, he immediately realized that the other party was referring to the priest.
Sure enough, in this ancient era, the gods could still clearly see the condition of each of their priests.
Therefore, sometimes, killing a priest would cost a lot.
“I want to ask, what is written on the stone tablet?”
Zhao Xu was certain that he could leave at any time, so he asked this question with some peace of mind.
“this is not your era. go back!”
The projection on the stone tablet seemed to be very angry and it started yelling at Zhao Xu.
The air was suddenly filled with endless flames and they swept towards Zhao Xu.
the extremely hot flames covered the sky and the earth, like countless extremely effective fireballs, bombarding the land like a shower of stars, burning everything.
“Lesser agility burst!”
At this critical moment, a thought flashed through Zhao Xu’s mind, and he immediately cast this spell.
Suddenly, the flames that filled the sky became like frames of images, and the speed at which they spread became extremely slow.
Before Zhao Xu could move for a short while, the flames were only less than half an arm’s length away from him, but they still couldn’t do any damage to him.
before the time was up, he was invincible.
zhao xu looked at the stone stele in front of him, which was already covered in flames and couldn’t be seen clearly. he shook his head and said in a low voice, ” antonya! ”
