The Truth of Magic - Chapter 419
419 Legend’s weakness
Zhao Xu looked at the adamantine golem in front of him and was almost stunned.
Why were there only ordinary golems in front of this door, but now it had become legendary adamantine golems?
This leap in level was a bit exaggerated, directly doubling it just like that.
Not to mention that the four golems had a complete variety of species, and there were hundreds of them, which had already made them feel like they were dying.
!!
He still hadn’t walked through the door.
When he thought about the stone tablet with the words “Palace of EDRO” carved on it and the five other doors, Zhao Xu felt like once he was done with this, he would be a level 7 player boss when he got out.
But as he looked at the legendary adamantine golem in front of him, Zhao Xu felt a little emotional.
Not too long ago, he was killed by a Black Dragon’s acidic breath, but now he had the state of mind to face a legendary monster without the slightest fear.
This also made Zhao Xu recall the conversation he had with the legendary golems when he first saw them at Antonya’s laboratory.
———–
“Teacher, these legendary golems must have cost a lot to build, right?”
At that time, Zhao Xu had been sizing up the adamantine golem in front of him and making this guess.
They had a similar structure to the iron golems, but they had an additional layer of golden light.
“Make do with it. For example, the raw material cost of this adamantine golem is 40 tons of pure iron, and then The Wishing Spell is used to transform the adamantine appearance. The main thing is that the spellcaster has to be at least level 30. The cost of one set is estimated to be 500000 gold.”
“This is too expensive.” Zhao Xu looked at the almost perfect line and his heart ached when he heard the price.
“Well, the main thing is that this thing is huge and can give people a sense of security. For example, the golem’s special ability is ‘stomp attack’. As long as it’s a level smaller, it will deal 40 to 110 damage (8d10 +30).”
the Mithril Golem’s challenge rating is around level 21, but this fine-gold golem is around level 25. It’s strong and durable.
—————
At that moment, Zhao Xu saw that the adamantine golem was lifting its extremely thick legs and was about to stomp down on them.
Fortunately, the Mithril Golem in front of them was only a little small, but it was still super large. It directly rushed over and blocked the attack of the adamantine golem.
“be careful, vivian.”
Zhao Xu shouted, ” the attack power of this adamantine golem is above level 60.
He looked at the Golden Golem waving the giant sword in its hand and felt his scalp go numb.
Not to mention being stepped on, just being brushed by the huge sword would deal about 30-80 (6d10 +20) damage.
The blade of the sword was emitting a sharp chill, so it was most likely a magic weapon.
Even if Zhao Xu had the protection of the starry cloak, it wouldn’t make any difference even if he could reduce the damage taken by half.
this was because reducing the damage by half was enough to kill him.
Even though Vivian was now a level 3 Paladin, her health points were only slightly over 50. She could not withstand the destructive blow of the adamantine golem.
The adamantine golem in front of him was the kind that lacked group attacks, but its single-target attacks and self-defense were amazing.
Even Zhao Xu had to be careful when dealing with them. If he wasn’t careful, he would be crushed into meat paste.
“Bang!”
A deafening sound reverberated throughout the vast land.
The two metal golems, which were similar in size and weighed nearly 100 tons in total, collided with each other, and sparks immediately flew in all directions.
And just one step from the golem could cause the ground to shake within a hundred meters.
With Zhao Xu’s orders, the two legendary golems started fighting in the mist-covered, empty Hall.
In an instant, he also saw the weaknesses of the two legendary golems.
They were like almost invincible Warriors, possessing enough strength, but they could only attack a single target.
At the same time, the attack power of the adamantine and Mithril golems directly crushed the other party’s defense. Every attack was a heavy blow, and the square was constantly filled with explosive sounds.
However, Zhao Xu quickly noticed something.
Every time the Mithril Golem was attacked, its injuries would become more serious.
Although the golem’s defense was also broken, its wounds were instantly healed.
Vivian could not help but frown.
“the fine gold golem’s damage reduction ability is in effect, but the mithril golem’s ability is ineffective.”
This meant that the damage dealt by the Mithril Golem would be reduced. Overall, the Mithril Golem’s HP was even lower than the fine-gold golem’s, and the damage it dealt was also lower.
If it wasn’t for the Mithril Golem’s own “light agility” ability, which allowed it to attack more than once each time in the same situation, the gap between the two would have been even greater.
their damage reduction ability can be broken through by legendary weapons or fine gold weapons. So after the fine gold golem changed to using its fists, every attack directly suppressed the Mithril Golem’s damage reduction ability.
“It’s a little strange.” Zhao Xu was a little puzzled after he finished analyzing the situation.
“What’s wrong?”
vivian raised her sword and shield and was already very close to zhao xu. even though there was only one adamantine golem in front of her, who knew what else was hidden in the thick fog?
“There’s a slight difference in the damage caused.” Zhao Xu analyzed.
“I’m afraid that their damage reduction ability is not just the standard 20 points. Could it be that these golems from ancient times have a stronger damage reduction ability?”
In reality, Zhao Xu’s luck had been pretty good before this.
Most of the monsters they encountered were the basic versions. Very few of them had been upgraded, so it was not difficult to fight them.
The truly disgusting ones were the monsters that had class abilities or even obtained extraordinary abilities through mutation.
For example, Vivian had gained the abilities of a Level-3 Paladin. After stacking those abilities, she was countless times more difficult to deal with.
“The Mithril Golem can’t hold on much longer.” Vivian said nervously.
At this time, the Mithril Golem took a punch from the adamantine golem, and its whole body was shaking. Many of its armor showed signs of damage.
“Then the test ends here.” Zhao Xu said as he nodded. He had pretty much seen the real difference in power between the two of them.
Originally, the scales wouldn’t have been so unbalanced. However, after the damage reduction ability was greatly improved, the scales naturally tilted in the favor of the adamantine golem.
“Ah? President, you have a way?”
“What do you think?”
zhao xu laughed and replied, ” although these two legendary golems are no longer like normal golems that can be restrained by their corresponding spells. It’s almost completely immune to magic.”
“But it’s not like we can’t break through the defense of the adamantine golem. After all, they rely on innate defensive armors that are over level 30.”
Vivian understood what Zhao Xu was trying to say.
When Zhao Xu had ghost strike, a spell that could only last for one round but could ignore all armor …
He was enough to make all the monsters who relied on high armor to survive kneel down and call him daddy.
Ghoststrike was the “key” ability that Zhao Xu could use to deal damage as a wizard.
and zhao xu’s damage output was even scarier than the other mages ‘melee attacks.
It was because even if other Wizards had mastered ghost strike, they would still have to use level 6 spell slots to instantly cast this spell or directly cast a spell delay.
That way, he could launch a critical attack on the monster within the short duration of one or two rounds.
As for him, every strike he made came with the ghostly strike technique.
There was an old saying in Arthur. When an ability could last for 24 hours, it was a fixed ability.
“Then, guild leader, why don’t we do it?” Vivian said in surprise.
After a few rounds of fighting, the Mithril Golem was already in a state of decline. It seemed that there was no way to reverse the situation, and it was too late for them to intervene.
“Can you withstand the stomp attack of the adamantine golem?” Zhao Xu asked in surprise.
“I can’t,” Saint Samurai Vivian shook her head honestly. She would not lie no matter how confident she was.
After all, they were legendary monsters, and Arthur could calculate the exact number of powerful existences.
“That’s it.”
“There’s a saying on earth that a gentleman doesn’t stand under a crumbling wall, so there’s no need to go up and Exchange your life with that adamantine golem.”
After he finished speaking, Zhao Xu raised the staff in his hand and tapped the area in front of him lightly, like a Vulture flying across a wave.
“ghost hand.”
In an instant, a small, translucent hand appeared behind the golem.
as long as the ghost hand could successfully attack the opponent, he could apply a contact spell below level four on the opponent.
Zhao Xu felt sorry for her in his heart.
Even touching spells would ignore armor, but the adamantine golem’s defense was all armor.
Spells that ignored resistance also ignored magic immunity.
At the same time, constructed creatures were not immune to elemental damage.
the answer was self-evident.
secondary chilling touch.
Supreme magic control-spell maximize stacked with spell twins!
The level 1 spell, lesser Touch of Frost, which could only instantly cause 1-6 points of damage to his agility, had been upgraded by Zhao Xu’s two specialties. Now, this spell, which originally required a level 1 spell slot to cast, could now take up a level 8 spell slot.
But Zhao Xu used his Supreme magic control and only used up one level 1 spell slot to cast it.
With the two buffs, the agility damage instantly became a total of 12 points of damage, and the golem with 9 points of agility immediately fell into a helpless state.
His huge body, which was about to throw a Swift and fierce punch, lost the support of his strength.
Even though the golem had over 51 points of strength.
But after Zhao Xu had obtained a comprehensive set of information on the golems, he found out that the golems only had 9 points of agility.
No matter how difficult the problem was, it was not a problem.
“Bang!”
There was another huge explosion. This time, the golem fell to the ground. Its body created a huge air current and blew away the thick fog.
Zhao Xu slowly walked over and looked at the adamantine golem that wasn’t any shorter than him even when it was just lying on the ground. He let out a soft sigh.
As expected, a monster that had leaked information was easily targeted by a mage with a complete spell list like him.
The actual battle had already ended the moment Zhao Xu used his knowledge skills to search for the golem’s agility attribute.
He didn’t even want to use touch of chill, which could cause 3-18 points (3d6) at Level 3. Instead, he used the lower level first-circle spell, secondary touch of chill.
If Zhao Xu really used the touch of shiver, then with the two other specialties stacked on top of each other, he would be dealing a total of 36 points of agility damage.
Zhao Xu immediately took out the other brass ball in his hand.
As long as he had 11 points of intelligence, he should be able to react by now.
One of the brass balls corresponded to a Mithril Golem, so the other one naturally corresponded to a adamantine golem.
However …
The thick fog that had just dispersed came back again, and nothing was out of the ordinary.
“Guild leader, shouldn’t we destroy this Golem first? The mysterious runes of those golems were only released after they were destroyed.”
Vivian gave Zhao Xu a suggestion with her only 16 points of intelligence.
“Well, Vivian, you’re right.”
By now, Zhao Xu had basically completed more than half of his mission, so he was feeling much better. He immediately raised his hand and signaled for the Mithril Golem behind him to attack.
He then raised the strength runic magic staff in his hand.
After activating the staff’s double attack, he directly hit the golem.
Under normal circumstances, such a strike wouldn’t even leave a scratch, but his ghost strike could allow the staff’s damage to seep in.
