The Truth of Magic - Chapter 199
199 the harvest after the battle
The so-called good description talisman meant that evil priests could not use this spell.
It was just like how Zhao Xu was a good priest, so he couldn’t cast the fate reading spell with the evil description talisman.
The hammer of justice was a holy magic above the kind glyph magic.
!!
this type of spell could be used by both wizards and priests, but there was a price to pay for using them!
it wasn’t just the price of the materials, but the kind of sacrifice for the idea of kindness.
hammer of justice was a damage-type spell that zhao xu had paid a lot of attention to in the final scroll, and the other spell that he had paid a lot of attention to was the inferno.
to cast hammer of justice, one had to sacrifice themselves, and the price was 1-3 points of strength damage.
the solution was naturally to immediately cast an attribute restoration spell to make up for it.
it was like casting a spell that would consume health points and then healing it with a healing spell.
Even if Zhao Xu didn’t rely on the book of ten thousand spells, he just so happened to have mastered the first circle Sacred Warrior divine spell, secondary restoration, which could recover elemental damage.
at this moment, zhao xu was also preparing to cast a spell to save himself from the 8 points of strength he already had.
in general, the price of magic spells for magic items was paid by the creator, but the price of holy spells was paid by the user.
After all, it was not a good thing to fight for the belief of kindness, and the result was that it was indeed someone else who paid the price.
But after he finished casting the spell, Zhao Xu realized that he wasn’t injured at all.
“master, praise me.”
at this moment, lacus ‘voice cut in.
when he heard this, zhao xu immediately understood that the item in his hand was a god-level item, and he couldn’t use common sense to guess its value.
At the same time, his attention was focused on the pit fiend that had just taken two hits from his hammer.
“hammer of axioms” was an energy-shaping force field spell. it had the same nature as “magic bullet,” or rather, it was an enhanced version of “magic bullet.”
Compared to magic bullet’s 2 – 5 HP damage, Hammer of Justice’s damage was 1d6 (1 – 6) for every spellcaster’s level, and it would increase to 1d8 (1 – 8) for evil enemies.
The book of ten thousand spells had the level of a level 20 spellcaster, so the natural damage curve rose to 20d8 (20 – 160) points of damage.
according to the spell’s structure, this was equivalent to 20 layers of 1 – 8 damage stacking, so the final damage curve would be normally distributed. the highest probability would be around 90 damage, not 20 – 160 damage evenly distributed.
Low-level mages loved to use magic bullet because it was hard to be immune to force fields. They didn’t have to aim like shooting, so they wouldn’t be in a situation where their spells didn’t hit.
The pit fiend was immune to fire and poison damage, and it also had 10 points of resistance to acid and cold damage. It could only take two hits from Zhao Xu’s Hammer of Justice.
The pit fiend, who had been disturbed, finally showed a look of anger. Or rather, it finally showed a trace of panic!
the two “hammer of justice” spells just now had entered his body directly, even though it had successfully reduced the damage by half.
The force field had still managed to destroy its body, and it had lost half of its HP!
the pit fiend that had arrived in the prime material plane had completely lost the buff from hell. its hp was only 225HP under the standard system.
However, it was still very vexed. It could not understand how two low-level spells could be so powerful.
for example, its own level 3 spell, fireball, dealt 1d6 (1-6) damage per caster’s level. at level 10, the damage would be capped, and the final damage range would be 10-60 points.
even if it was close to level 18 when it used its spell-like abilities, it was useless.
This was the unsolvable aspect of the hammer of justice. Its damage would be as high as the level of the caster, and there was no upper limit to the damage.
at this moment, the pit fiend finally came to its senses. when it saw that its ” law intimidation ” had failed, it knew that something was wrong with zhao xu.
it continued to call out the names of the other devils in the ancient purgatory language.
At this moment, Zhao Xu was still in the process of casting a spell, and he still had a few more seconds before he could continue casting another spell.
However, when he saw that the demon did not use the ninth-circle Arcana spell, group monster stop, on him, he did not even try to use advanced dispelling magic to remove his protective measures.
Zhao Xu knew that the other party had already come to their senses and was calling for help.
the ” devil summoning ” set of abilities was a supernatural ability of the devil race. as one’s level increased, the level of the devil that they could summon would also increase.
at this moment, six red and strange teleportation portals appeared on the altar square.
” who called out to me? oh, it’s actually the prime material plane? ”
A Crimson-scaled abyss fiend with a pair of huge wings stepped out of the portal, the flames on its body still burning.
Soon after, the remaining energy circles began to tremble violently as if they were about to repeat the process.
all of a sudden, the frequency of the teleportation gate’s vibration exceeded the earth’s limit, as if it had been overclocked. a cloud of thick smoke directly rose from it, slightly covering the scene in front of it.
but zhao xu could still barely see pit fiends continuously walking out of the teleportation circle.
By the time the smoke dispersed, the originally empty altar square had been occupied by seven four-meter-tall pit fiends, making it look a little short and narrow.
And when they saw Zhao Xu, they also had a sinister smile on their faces. They were obviously very satisfied that they had just been summoned and they had such a prey.
however, they didn’t take any action. instead, they mimicked the first pit fiend and began summoning.
zhao xu’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t flip to the next page of the book of ten thousand spells that had already been activated. instead, he continued to use the third arcane spell fusion!
The two Hammer of Justice spells that had just appeared were the remaining two spells from the book of ten thousand spells. They were all shot out by Zhao Xu at the same time.
However, the spell’s target wasn’t any of the summoned pit fiends, nor was it the first one.
instead, it flew towards the corner of the square. then, a low and miserable scream suddenly came from that empty spot!
A pit fiend suddenly appeared in the empty void. its hp was already at zero, which meant it was already dead to an otherworld being.
slowly, its body began to foam, and its scales gradually melted. its extremely hard body turned into mud bit by bit.
After losing control of their will, the seven pit fiends in the main hall of the altar square turned into ashes and disappeared.
The lava, burnt sulfur, and the suffocating stench on the ground disappeared instantly.
this devil is too cowardly. Its first reaction wasn’t to actually summon a devil, but to use an illusion? ” After seeing that Zhao Xu was safe, lacus finally got distracted and started to comment.
meanwhile, zhao xu slowly walked over to the pit fiend’s body, which had collapsed and was rotting. in his previous life, he had witnessed the death of the devil clan, so this was not a surprise to him.
at the same time, he also kept a distance to avoid getting too close to the ground and falling into a state of disgust.
these pit fiends are too brainless. If they had the ability to summon six Devils of the same level, they could have easily defeated Arthur with an infinite number of dolls.
Zhao Xu commented.
ahem, master, you used the ‘truth-seeing spell’ at the beginning and saw through the illusion of the seven pit fiends. lacus exposed him mercilessly.
Zhao Xu had already regained some of the experience he had in his previous life, so he wasn’t as embarrassed as he had been exposed.
in fact, even without the art of truth, he knew very well.
The pit fiend’s devil summoning ability could be used twice a day. Each time, it could summon horned demons and ice Demons with a challenge level of over ten, and there would only be one.
How could he put on such an act? he directly summoned six times in a row, and even deliberately created an illusion of the same thing after rolling up the thick smoke. Then, he himself hid in a corner and prepared to use a teleportation spell to escape.
Did they really think that mages didn’t read books?
Of course, Zhao Xu just threw two Hammer of Justice at the invisible pit fiend when he saw this.
“Just now, you specifically asked me to cast the ‘kindness’ rune spell for?” Zhao Xu asked.
get rid of the traces, master. The pit fiend’s corpse will dissipate even faster after being hit by the good energy. Otherwise, if its residue were to remain for a few years, the spells you just cast might be exposed. Lacus reminded.
” and master, you don’t want to search for treasures from that pile of mud-like residue, do you? ”
at this moment, zhao xu expressed that he understood.
This also meant that Reyan and the others were about to find this place. He had indeed disappeared for a long time.
” no,’hammer of justice’ is a third-circle spell. shouldn’t ‘book of spells’ record fourth-circle spells at the very least? ”
After the battle ended, Zhao Xu immediately noticed this. The battle had been so intense that he had been reminded by Lux, so he hadn’t noticed that the hammer of justice was the same as the fireball spell.
hehe, master, I’m a godly item among godly items after all. It’s very difficult to surpass the original godly item, but it’s still possible to drop it a little. Lacus explained.
“lacus.” Zhao Xu suddenly said in a very friendly manner.
He had already noticed that the book of ten thousand spells didn’t have much time left.
“eh? Master, do you have any orders?” Lacus asked.
“wish.” zhao xu gave the order for a new spell page.
