The Truth of Magic - Chapter 90
90 The trial
wanderer rainbow didn’t expect the jinx to be zhongxia instead of youyou.
at first, everyone only asked because they were impressed by zhongxia’s knowledge, but they got to the bottom of it out of curiosity.
Who would have thought that the goddess of misfortune, Nora, would care so much for them that she would teach them live in just a few minutes?
!!
Everyone still remembered what Zhao Xu had said. The range of the rune cannon towers was 40 meters, and they were less than 40 meters away from the demon head.
As long as they retreated a little faster, they might only suffer a round of attacks.
however, no one retreated, because behind them was the trap of the trapdoor.
even if he had to bet on his jumping ability, he had to walk to the rune turret first to get enough distance for the run-up. otherwise, it would be no different from walking into a pit.
“you can either go into the pit. To be reborn after death.” At this time, the poet. Frog said decisively, ” either we charge forward.
the demon-shaped runic cannon tower had already finished gathering energy and was ready to launch a destructive attack at any moment.
As the leader of the team, Noah knew that he had to make a decision. If he stayed here and suffered endless spells, he would definitely die.
However, at the end of the road was a corner, and no one knew what was on the other side of the corner.
even if they turned the corner, they would be attacked at least two times.
As for jumping into the pit behind them, people would definitely die, but at least a few would be left.
Noah, who had once decided which of his brothers would survive with limited emergency resources, was once again at the trial point of his life.
” jump into the pit-” before he could finish his sentence, a roaring ball of fire was shot at them.
noah, who recognized this thing, already knew that his team was finished. his only instinct was to retreat.
In the blink of an eye, the ball of fire landed directly on the spot where he had initially landed. It smashed into the ground, and the surroundings exploded like a sealed room filled with gas leaks.
countless heat waves burst out from the falling fireball, covering the field with a radius of six to seven meters.
Even the old scholar who believed that ” mages should not be cannon towers that only knew how to cast damage spells ” would not deny the power of the level three arcane spell, fireball.
Unless it was a specialized skill, most mages would start from Level 5 and possess a truly destructive spell like fireball. Only then would they be qualified to act as damage dealers.
but when the flames dissipated, the team that was stunned by the spell didn’t even have time to jump into the pit, only to find that they weren’t injured at all.
A shimmering magic sphere enveloped them.
The air seemed to be filled with a mysterious energy. No matter how the fireball exploded, the endless waves of fire could not penetrate this mysterious sphere.
“what is this?” Noah exclaimed.
The power of the fireball just now had already put him on the verge of the pressure of a powerful magic.
no one would have thought that there would always be a higher mountain.
Everyone’s eyes were on the magic staff in Zhao Xu’s hand.
Originally, it was just an oak staff inlaid with crystals. Now, it seemed like it had a mysterious power like those legends.
“this is a barrier of nullification for secondary spells.” zhao xu said calmly, “this shield can block all spells below level 3.”
zhao xu then looked at noah and smiled. ” “you’ll have to pay more for this.”
he had just used his magic staff to cast a level four arcane spell, ” nullifying lesser spells, ” which had directly consumed two shots of energy from his magic staff.
however, he had to do so. the damage of the fireball 5d6 was not something he could avoid no matter what.
even if he used the ” energy damage resistance ” that only required one shot of energy, it could only withstand one wave.
the runic cannon towers would launch an endless stream of attacks.
so this time, zhao xu was both saving people and saving himself.
“Ah, here it comes again.” yoyo noticed that the devil’s head glowed and then went out.
immediately after, a shockwave rippled from the magic ball.
[ prompt: the ” suggestion ” spell of the incantation cannon tower can not pass through the ” secondary spell nullifying barrier “. this spell is invalid. ]
zhao xu saw that his information panel had refreshed, so he explained, ” ” it’s fine. this is the second spell,’suggestion’. it still has two more spells to release, and it will only stop to recharge in the fifth round. ”
” but this cannon can only cast level 3 spells, so within 20 rounds of the spell, the inside of the sphere is safe. ”
The nullifying barrier of secondary spells would only last for one round for every level of the caster.
The caster of Zhao Xu’s magic staff was level 20, so he could use it for 20 rounds.
if antonya were to cast it herself, based on the fact that the other party’s spellcasting level would exceed level 72 after stacking them together, that would mean that she would be able to cast it for more than 72 rounds.
“mr. zhongxia, you must be the successor of some hidden school of thought. could it be that this is your selection trial?”
noah now understood that the wooden staff in zhao xu’s hands was definitely not as simple as he had thought it to be.
he had followed his leader, yise, and seen the world before, so he had a rough idea of the value of this staff.
if this thing appeared on a native of arthur, it could be a member of a royal family or even a direct descendant of a wizard family who came out to train.
And for it to appear in the hands of Earth’s adventurers, and it had only been a month since the beginning, then there was only one possibility left-zhongxia was a candidate for those secret guilds.
noah had heard from the leader that when the secret school was selecting the next generation of successors, they would let the candidates challenge each other and kill each other. the one who finally made it through would naturally be the successor of the school.
Thinking of this, Noah did not care about the third spell that was about to hit him.
He lowered his head. Mr. Zhongxia, I’ve offended you before.
the four members of team maple leaf were all dumbfounded. they didn’t think that zhao xu, who had come from a broken school and was just a spell caster who had come to fulfill his teacher’s last wish, would be mistaken by noah as the direct descendant of a mysterious organization.
the four of them still couldn’t estimate the true value of the staff in zhao xu’s hand.
in their eyes, a level 4 spell scroll was about 700 gold coins, which was not an astronomical figure.
however, in this situation, even if yoyo was slightly biased, she knew that she should keep her mouth shut and not ruin zhongxia’s reputation.
Deception might cause her faction to become neutral or chaotic, but The Price of Silence would be much lower.
Zhao Xu just nodded indifferently, even though Noah didn’t guess that he was only here to complete the training mission that Antonya had given him.
At the same time, he had the means to reverse everything behind him, that was why he dared to swagger in, and not for some Gu refinement-like screening test.
however, noah had underestimated him by an entire level, and he had stepped on the edge of the truth.
“mr. zhongxia, you can choose what you want from this adventure.” Noah continued to bow.
only the dumbfounded fengye and the other three were left. there was still such treatment?
