The Truth of Magic - Chapter 489
489 The missing Antonya
Antonya immediately turned her head around and looked at the demon Lord who had suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, her voice became a little hurried.
“Don’t turn around.”
!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xu realized that Antonya had disappeared from the side.
Her entire body was like a bubble under the scorching sun. In the blink of an eye, no trace of her existence could be seen.
It was as if Zhao Xu had been the only one who had entered this cave from the very beginning.
“Elastic magic ball!”
Zhao Xu immediately held onto the Super Magic instantaneous scepter in his hand and cast this powerful defensive spell in this extremely dangerous moment.
Suddenly, a faintly glowing spherical force field immediately enveloped him. At first glance, the translucent sphere was constantly flowing with layers of energy fluctuations. It looked like a Bubble Ball that could burst at any time, but it could not be destroyed.
The elastic magic ball was known as the strongest defensive spell among the fourth-circle spells.
At the same time, it was also the most powerful trapping spell that Zhao Xu could use at the moment.
At this moment, Zhao Xu was covered by this barrier that prevented him from moving, but it didn’t affect his breathing or the movements inside.
There were two worlds inside and outside the barrier of this elastic magic ball.
Nothing could pass through this sphere!
In his previous life, Zhao Xu had seen this spell before on the battlefield and had suffered quite a bit.
at that time, a group of adventurers had been hired to flank a four-circle evil mage who had killed and escaped.
According to the information that Zhao Xu had received before the mission, that wizard didn’t have many spell slots left.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even when the mage was at his wits ‘end, he was still able to easily slaughter more than ten of his teammates.
Zhao Xu then saw the evil wizard use his last life-saving spell, ” elastic magic ball.
At that time, there were more than twenty adventurers, including Zhao Xu, and because they didn’t have any spellcasters, they used all sorts of knives, axes, and axes to attack the translucent ball, but it was completely useless.
He had dragged it out until the mage’s reinforcements arrived, allowing the other party to escape successfully.
Only by using four specific methods-the scepter of annihilation, the scepter of negation, dispel (Level 6), or target-type dispel (Level 3)-could one try to dispel the ball and then attack the person inside.
For example, the Holy Avenger in Vivian’s hand, which could cast advanced dispel magic, could not do anything to the elastic magic ball because it was an area-of-effect dispel.
Therefore, this spell was strong in that it could be used to divide the battlefield, control a portion of the enemy, or protect teammates who had lost their combat power.
To ordinary warrior-type adventurers, this sphere was an existence that they would never be able to deal with.
If someone used these spells in the early stages of the game, no matter how tired they were, there would be people who would give up the battle and follow the spell.
After Zhao Xu successfully cast this defensive evocation spell, he didn’t relax at all.
He knew about this spell. For grazite, who could make Antonya disappear in an instant, it would only waste a single ” move ” that the other party had made to dismantle it.
He still had to think of a way by himself the moment the other party moved.
young man, it seems like this is our third time meeting. Grazite’s seductive voice came from behind him.
Zhao Xu followed Antonya’s final instructions with all his might.
He would never turn back.
he didn’t even respond to the other party’s words.
In the face of an Abyssal Demon Lord who had witnessed 10000 years of history, no matter how many tricks he had, they were nothing in his eyes.
All the sinister and cunning schemes and plots were just the tricks that these purgatory creatures had left behind.
Only when one’s strength could suppress them would that be a true victory.
“Oh?”
“You’re not responding to me? It doesn’t matter, just listen to me. As long as you can remain silent, it doesn’t matter.”
the first time, you took back Frank’s wife’s soul from my hands. That bunch of trash still hasn’t caught them for me. I still remember this.
Zhao Xu only snorted in his heart when he heard this, but he didn’t say anything to refute it.
Antonya had only turned her head around for a quick glance before she disappeared, so other than not turning her head back, he also preferred to speak as little as possible.
Grazite’s arrogant words also revealed the true nature of the Devils.
According to the other party’s logic, a bet would only mean a victory.
It didn’t mean that the demons wouldn’t attack them.
Even contracts were useless against demons from the chaos Faction.
They were like nicknames, and once they caught up, they couldn’t be thrown away.
“The second time was when I asked you for a promise. For this, I even sacrificed my chosen priest. That succubus is very loyal to me, and now it’s because of you that it’s locked up in a dungeon that can’t see the light of day. this is the second time you’ve caused me to lose.”
Even though Antonya had already cast a mental barrier on Zhao Xu, he wouldn’t be affected by any mental spells or effects.
But just listening to grazite’s emotional speech made Zhao Xu feel like he was really wrong.
He took a few deep breaths and tried to recover his calmness and indifference.
he even began to control his thoughts and not think too much to reduce the influence of this aspect.
He knew that this was grazite’s powerful ” negotiation “, ” intimidation “, and ” Bluff ” skills alternating.
zhongxia, I’ll give you a third chance. I hope you won’t disappoint me again this time. Otherwise, you won’t be able to withstand my anger.
“I need you to give me a promise.”
“As long as you promise me this, I can even let your incarnation become a Lord of the Abyss and control one of the planes. Think about it, is this kind of power that Antonya could have given you just now?”
“After the magic Empire was destroyed, she was only the princess respected by all the races in name, but not in reality. What can she give you?”
as for you, as long as you promise me an illusory promise now, I may not even need it to fulfill in the future. What’s so difficult for you?”
Grazite’s voice was getting closer and closer. It was as if he had already walked right next to Zhao Xu, and he was whispering into his ear.
But Zhao Xu was still calmly looking at the barrier in front of him.
As long as it was still there, it meant that he was still safe.
“Oh, I see. Or do you want to fight back with silence?” Grazite suddenly sighed.
“I once promised a lucky person a divine artifact. It was a treasure bowl that would constantly produce gold coins. Every time he reached in, he would be able to take out 1000 gold coins, but the price was that the friends and family of the lucky person would die. Guess how many times the other party tried to catch it?”
I won’t make a moral dilemma that you demons set up.
Zhao Xu suddenly replied.
He didn’t need to guess to know which dimension grazite would expand to next.
For example, if the one who died was not one of his friends or family, what would he do?
in fact, as long as zhao xu started to say ” no ” …
In the following story model, the ” treasure basin ” would become a ” healing basin “, and next to it would be his family waiting to be saved.
It would continuously correct the entire story model and gradually ask Zhao Xu’s heart through the fuzzy boundaries.
Once temptation didn’t work, these chaotic demons would tend to crush a person’s ” ideas.
This was also the reason why only people with strong beliefs could become qualified Paladins.
Even the Paladins would face many moral difficulties because of this.
Grazite even had to ask a Paladin what he would do if he had to eat a dead baby’s body to save a person.
If that was the case, what about the people in the city?
This kind of moral sophistry was a trap set up by pre-set dilemma.
So this was the first time that Zhao Xu had rejected the offer.
after all, he had read a lot of the book ” 300 questions about the demon’s moral dilemma “.
Grazite didn’t expect Zhao Xu, who was standing right in front of him, to not have a human’s natural interest in gossip and stories, and to reject him so directly.
After letting out a few dry laughs, it continued to change directions.
“Then, aren’t you concerned about Antonya’s safety? I killed her just now. If you hurry, you can still save her. Maybe she’ll be loyal to you forever because you saved her. ”
“Oh? Really? Then I’ll have to directly crush her soul.”
“No,” she said. Zhao Xu said, ” I don’t believe that you can do anything to the mentor.
Zhao Xu realized that he had been hit in the weak spot.
Even though he was 99% sure that Antonya would be fine.
However, for a demon general who had almost reached the top of the abyss, if he were to personally descend at this moment and then use some special means to catch Antonya off guard, then there was still a 1% chance that something bad would happen.
So, because of this 1% chance, Zhao Xu decided to speak up and try to get the other party to reveal more information.
“Save me!” Suddenly, Antonya’s voice could be heard. Her voice was filled with pain, as if she was struggling.
“I’m fine,” she said. Another voice rang out in front of the altar, and this time, it was Antonya’s voice.
However, the sound was coming from within the barrier of the elastic magic ball.
At this moment, Zhao Xu gently lowered his right hand that he had just snapped his fingers with.
he had just used zero-circle’s illusory sound spell to copy antonya’s voice.
It was also a way to tell grazite, who was behind him, that simulating such sounds and psychological attacks were useless against him.
“Interesting. I’m starting to suspect that Antonya has done an attack and defense test with you against a high-level demon before.”
Grazite couldn’t help but praise her. I’m very curious. Why are you so sure that I won’t be able to kill Antonya? ”
“You have to know that those who have actually seen the methods that Ernest had left for Antonya are all dead. In this world, only old fogeys like us know how terrifying she is.”
When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Antonya had also teased him before and said some ambiguous things to lie to him.
but there was one thing she would never brag about. She said that she could visit the abyss at any time and even tease grazite, and that was what she could do.
Grazite couldn’t easily kill him with his strength.
He only estimated that the possibility was less than 1%, but he didn’t really believe it.
Just like how everyone could be hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light while walking, the probability existed, but it just depended on how big it was.
He had also suspected that Antonya had only disappeared for a short while. Otherwise, the demon could have locked itself up for a few days and weakened its own will first.
“Why do you need a promise from me?”
After a long while, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but ask. This was a question that he had been thinking about for a while.
“I have to start from a long story.”
Grazite’s voice became more distant and deep.
“If you don’t mind, you can listen to me slowly.”
