The Truth of Magic - Chapter 311
311 the touch of shivering
the moment the incantation was completed, zhao xu instantly felt his life force being drawn out of his body. then, it condensed into a ghostly hand that was glowing with a strange light in front of the bear.
some of arthur’s spells required him to make contact with his target.
For teammates, it was necessary to move to the other side, but for the enemy, it was necessary to get close.
!!
These were all extremely dangerous for Wizards. After all, most spells required a ‘posture’ component. Once they were caught in close range, they wouldn’t be able to cast spells without the ‘fixed spell’ specialty.
so even though the soul catcher was suppressing the violent bear, zhao xu’s safety still came first, and he didn’t go close to it. Therefore, he used the level 2 spell ” ghost hand ” to replace him with the level 1 to Level 4 ” contact ” spells.
The only price was that each time he cast a spell, he would need to consume 1-4HP or something. When the spell ended, his HP would be returned to him.
the warriors and barbarians who were patrolling the area to suppress the violent bear and prevent it from escaping looked curiously at the illusory ‘palm’ that appeared out of thin air. it was obvious that it was created by the gale mage.
everyone was also looking forward to its effect.
Even though specter’s hand was a minute-level spell, Zhao Xu still made the best use of his time and continued to cast the final spell.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you’ve activated ” devout knowledge “, linked to knowledge (nature). Check result: 17. You know the violent bear’s weakness. Your attack and damage received +2 insight bonus. ]
zhao xu instantly activated the ” devout knowledge ” power that he had exchanged for with his ” domain of knowledge “, but it was a pity that this power could only be used on himself. As for the scroll ability, dark knowledge (tactics), which could also be used to better deal with monsters, it could not be activated because the violent bear did not belong to one of the five major categories.
after getting this buff, zhao xu started to seriously chant the level 3 spell that dominated the lower circle.
“chilling touch!”
In an instant, the ghostly hand that Zhao Xu was controlling was injected with an extremely cold air. If it wasn’t for the fact that the ghostly hand was just an incorporeal thing, it might even have been able to form ice.
The moment the incantation was completed, the ghostly hand directly drove the ice-cold ball in its palm to attack the ferocious bear.
when the violent bear saw the ghostly hand coming at it, it turned its body to the side in an attempt to dodge the attack.
“He’s a mage, can he hit this bear?” The poet. Standing in the corner muttered to himself. In general, the attack power of these summoned energy hands mostly followed the fighting consciousness of the mage.
It was easy to imagine how terrible a mage’s close combat ability was.
even the violent bear thought the same. its attention was focused on defending against the soul-imprisoning devil.
The violent bear’s tough skin had a powerful natural Level-7 defense, which also allowed its final defense to be a full level-17. this was also the reason why the players ‘hit rate on the violent bear was not high.
however, the phantom hand’s attack had been strengthened by two levels due to magic. after adding two levels of devout knowledge, it touched the body of the bear.
Because it was a close-range attack, it could ignore any armor and natural armor.
even after being hit, the violent bear did not seem to care. it knew that it still had an enormous amount of life force.
However, a bone-chilling cold that pierced straight into the heart of the savage bear caused its entire body to shiver uncontrollably, affecting its vigorous movements.
At this time, the players also shouted excitedly, as if they had cast the spell themselves.
the bear’s speed was affected, which meant that its ability to dodge was reduced, and it was naturally easier to be hit.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you have used touch of shiver on violent bear, causing 3d6 (3-18)=13 agility damage, duration 7 rounds ]
suddenly, the bear’s four limbs became as stiff as a statue and fell into a state of paralysis. those who didn’t know would think that there was an ice sculpture sealing it.
&Nbsp; seeing this, the soul Catcher began to unleash round after round of Soul Trap attacks.
Meanwhile, the surrounding players could not react in time when they saw the powerful violent bear, which had a challenge level 7, being controlled by the spell cast by the gale wizard.
“are level 3 spells that strong?” a guild member asked.
I’m afraid it’s a state of paralysis. However, this kind of spell usually requires a strong resistance. Is it so difficult for this Gale mage to be immune to it? even a Berserk Bear with a high Constitution can’t pass it.
At this moment, no one knew that Zhao Xu’s attack on agility had actually reduced the violent bear’s 13 dexterity to 0.
Compared to the severe consequences of dying if his Constitution was reduced to zero, he would enter a state of paralysis if his agility was reduced to zero.
As a level 3 spell, the touch of shivering could cause 3-18 points of agility damage, of which the expected damage was 11 points, which was very cost-effective.
What was even more terrifying was that it was a spell that didn’t need to be checked for immunity or spell resistance.
The moment the attack was successful, it meant that the spell had already taken effect.
basically, any player who did not intentionally add points to agility would not be able to take a hit from his ” touch of shivering “.
When he reached Level 6 and could become a super-magic without paying any price, with the help of ” Maximize Spell ” and ” Empower Spell “, the expected agility damage of ” Touch of Frost ” would be a full 27 points.
Normally, creatures that weren’t legendary or naturally highly sensitive wouldn’t be able to resist this move.
Even normal players would have their agility reduced to zero and then fall into a state of paralysis.
This was especially so when Zhao Xu could cast the fifth-circle spell, wave of luck, at a higher level in the future. Then, he would be able to make his first attack a guaranteed hit.
Wave of luck + Maximize Spell and powerful touch of shivering spell. This sure-kill combination would kill anyone who was not immune to elemental damage.
&Nbsp; in the end, the originally paralyzed violent bear finally failed its immunity under the soul catcher’s continuous experiments. Its three to four-ton body instantly lost its ability to support itself and fell heavily to the ground, causing everyone to feel the ground shake.
At this moment, a tiny bear-like creature appeared in the soul catcher’s rib cage. Everyone trembled in fear when they saw this scene. They knew that it was the violent bear’s soul.
After losing its soul, even if someone cast a resurrection spell on the violent bear’s corpse, it would be ineffective.
The soul Catcher had also gained 60 energy points from the 12 HD violent bear, which allowed it to cast 60 spell-like abilities.
soul catcher followed zhao xu’s instructions and immediately used up all the energy he had just received to cast a level 5 cleric and level 6 wizard’s truth-revealing spell.
suddenly, a wave of pure divination magic power started flowing into zhao xu’s eyes.
the world in front of him became clearer and more real. there was no longer any room for illusion.
the truth was a minute-level spell, and the caster of the soul catcher’s spell-like ability was level 18.
so, for the next 18 minutes, zhao xu would be able to see through darkness, magic darkness, and magic concealment doors. at the same time, all illusions, invisibility, and transfiguration would have no way of hiding.
That Soul Catcher had 60 points, which meant that Zhao Xu would be able to enjoy the effects of this spell for the next 18 hours.
Frostsword, on the other hand, had his subordinates temporarily decompose the bear’s corpse, first taking away some of the more precious parts such as the bear’s skin and gall.
“It’s quite troublesome to leave such a huge corpse here. It’ll easily attract other animals.” Frostsword said, feeling a slight headache.
brother, don’t be silly. The bear’s roars have already alarmed the nearby creatures. Xue Xue said.
zhao xu had already returned to his horse and was flipping through his magic books. he felt a little embarrassed when he heard what she said.
in fact, he had prepared a silence spell. with the bear as the center, not a single sound could be made within a six-meter radius. naturally, it would also affect the spell that contained the sound of the incantation.
Silence was a level 2 spell for priests, and since there was a priest around, Zhao Xu didn’t want to reveal that he was able to cast divine spells, so he didn’t try to stop the bear from roaring.
Frostsword didn’t continue to argue and immediately directed everyone to continue moving forward.
as the light of the setting sun shone on the surface of the lake and everything was about to return to silence, zhao xu and the others arrived near mirror moon lake. there were even stones that were half a meter high around the lake for people to walk on.
” mr. gale, i’m afraid that the exploration tonight will last for a long time, so we have to go offline to solve the problem of food. i’ll have to trouble you to wait here for a while, or we can go offline in batches. ” Frostsword asked Zhao Xu for his opinion.
In his opinion, it would be best for them to attack together to avoid the risk of being defeated one by one. However, this would be the most dangerous situation for the Wind Mage.
“I can go invisible, so there won’t be a big problem. You guys can play together.” zhao xu was the same. he also had to go offline to have a meal.
He had a concert to attend in two days, so he had to finish the mage Tower mission within these three days.
Otherwise, when there was gold in the tower, he would have to run away.
“what?” suddenly, a rogue asked in a low voice, and everyone’s spirit was tense.
zhao xu wasn’t an exception. as he prepared to cast the spell, he also looked over.
the rogue was holding a snow-white rabbit in his hand and smiled, showing his teeth. ” it’s a lost rabbit. it actually broke into the crowd. ”
Hearing this, the players from the Guild laughed happily. They had just finished fighting the violent bear, and now they suddenly saw the rabbit. They were still very kind.
but zhao xu’s expression was extremely serious. all the players who noticed this immediately fell silent and looked at zhao xu in surprise.
“what’s wrong, mr. gale?” Frostsword asked cautiously.
zhao xu, on the other hand, kept looking around at the situation around him. after a while, he said in a low voice, ”
“wild rabbits don’t have snow white color.”
