The Truth of Magic

Chapter 157: Extra Large Fire Elemental (2/2)

Views:

Although Zhao Xu didn't know how the original spellcasters of the Dark Age offended the elemental gods.

But now his situation is more delicate.

Antinoya told him at first that in this Dark Age, a mage with level two spells like him was considered invincible.

Mainly because there are still relatively few human professionals at this time. At the same time, there are fewer spellcasters at this time, so naturally there are fewer means to target spellcasters.

If it weren't for the God of Fire's oracle that hindered him, Zhao Xu would have just used a second-level magic to make him invisible, and the villagers would have worshiped him as a great being.

In the Dark Age, most of the messengers of the gods were the most primitive sacrifices. They rely on offering sacrifices to the gods to obtain strength, but they have not yet reached the point where priests will have complete magical skills and advancements in the future.

Even many remote tribal villages directly worship natural spirits as gods.

Zhao Xu had been thinking about the fire element when he went to the Molin Stone Tablet according to the map in the letter.

When Antinoya asked him to choose the third method, she provided him with a "fire element brazier" magic equipment.

As long as the brazier is lit, it is equivalent to using the "Level 6 Monster Summoning Technique" to summon a large fire element.

As an elemental creature, the fire element is classified according to strength into small, medium, large, super large, giant and then elder types.

Above this is the Prince of Elements who has stepped into the realm of legend.

Zhao Xu used to be a warrior and hated the fire element. It was difficult to fight, and there was nothing that could be dropped by killing it.

After killing animals and the like, everyone can skin and cramp them, dismantle them and sell their parts.

As for whether the Vulcan Prince of Elements became a god, Zhao Xu didn't know.

He realized that in this era thousands of years ago, a series of knowledge checks all failed.

Out of caution, Zhao Xu chose the simplest questions, but still failed in them all, as if he was separated from the source of knowledge.

This also made him realize for the first time that he had traveled back in time.

Otherwise, there seemed to be no unusual scenery around him, making him almost think that he had just teleported to another mysterious place.

Zhao Xu compared the map in his mind with the route on the letter and sneaked step by step into the mountains, which was also the direction in which the people in the village retreated.

The area of the map in his mind regarding the Molin Stone Tablet was completely blank, and it was obvious that the spell had not been reproduced. This was also the reason why Zhao Xu couldn't find the location of the stone tablet when he first looked at the map created by the "Earth Vein Detection" spell.

But as Zhao Xu went deeper, he felt the air in front of him was extremely hot.

He was already covered with an "endurance environment" spell that could adjust the temperature range to nearly a hundred degrees, and he was still feeling a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, he was walking on the gravel ground in the mountains. Not only were the stones hot from the heat, some of the dead leaves were already smoking.

So Zhao Xu was also a little surprised that there were no mountain fires in this forest.

It was as if all the power had been drained away.

After Zhao Xu climbed over a huge boulder, he found that where the stream used to be, there was only a dry river bed, and even the silt at the bottom had lost its moisture and turned into a hard lump.

When Zhao Xu stepped on the river bed and waded over, the mud chunks dried up and cracked without being able to withstand the force at all.

How do the villagers live in this kind of environment

Zhao Xu couldn't help but have this thought.

Finally, when Zhao Xu was approaching the location of the stone monument on the map, he began to slow down.

All kinds of incongruities gave Zhao Xu a bad feeling.

He looked at his 18hp health point, and out of caution, took out a bottle of alcohol and applied the alcohol to several key parts of his body with special marks.

Then he began to chant the incantation of the second-level spell "False Life".

After he finished casting the spell, the free spell slot in his mind immediately released energy, and the alcohol in Zhao Xu's body that had not yet evaporated disappeared into his body in an instant.

Suddenly an invisible life force spurted out.

[Adventurer Zhongxia, you cast the false life spell and gain an additional 1D10 (1-10) + 4 (caster level) = 7 + 4 = 11 HP, which lasts for 4 hours.]

Zhao Xu's health immediately soared from 18HP to 29HP.

Just such an ordinary second-level spell makes his health as good as that of warriors and barbarians of the same level.

After confirming that he could survive a wave of raids, Zhao Xu also regained some confidence. After all, health is a person's courage.

After passing through a pile of rocks, Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly opened up. In front of him was a stone monument nearly three people tall and in the shape of a prismatic spire, standing in a large open space.

The dirt on the ground was still fresh, obviously just plowed.

A man covered in oil paint, hung with a string of animal bone ornaments but also wrapped in a thick felt, was kneeling in front of the stone tablet and praying.

Even though the air now is filled with various burning sulfur smells, it still can't hide the faint smell of blood.

Zhao Xu looked solemnly, looked at the kneeling priest and said, "Where are the villagers?"

At this time, he had no time to pay attention to the completely blank Molin Stone Tablet.

The priest stood up. There were two huge scars on his face, which fell directly on his cheek bones, giving him an indescribable ferocious look.

"Oh? You don't feel like a villager here." The priest said in a cold voice, looking at Zhao Xu like a butcher.

"It's strange. I remember someone sent someone to shoot the villagers who escaped. How come you can still get close to here?"

Zhao Xu's eyes shrank slightly.

It turned out that the three people who attacked him at the beginning did not attack just because he was a spell caster.

Rather, it’s about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at the muddy ground in front of him.

"You are really a smart man. I remember that a villager kept shouting his son's name before he died. Could it be you?" The priest laughed softly, "They are all honored to sleep under the ground. The glory belongs to My lord."

"The Order: Pain."

Zhao Xu raised his hand and shouted a spell at the priest in front of him.

Immediately, a jet of dark magic energy flew towards the sacrifice, and instantly fell into the opponent's body.

The priest trembled all over, and then vomited blood. However, he looked at Zhao Xu with a cruel look on his face and shouted, "Is this the only ability you have?"

Zhao Xu looked at the other party coldly.

After copying all the spells in the final scroll space, he was no longer the rookie who was indecisive about magic missiles.

Even if it is the lowest level one spell, he can choose the most powerful one to release.

Law: Pain, the first-level arcane spell that can theoretically cause the maximum amount of damage.

It is only effective against living creatures with no more than 100 HP, and will only cause 1D6 (1-6) damage per round, which is similar to an ordinary arrow.

But it's powerful and can last for many rounds. The priest in front of him will definitely not have more than 50 HP, so he will have to suffer 4D4 (4-16) rounds of damage.

Zhao Xu looked at the data on his dynamic information and found that the test result was 10 rounds.

That is to say, even if the opponent can survive ten rounds (1 minute), he will still suffer damage of 10-60HP, and the theoretical expectation is 35HP.

Basically, for low-level characters, this amount of damage is considered fatal.

Six seconds later, when the priest felt the second injury from his body, his expression finally changed.

"You evil wizard, what kind of witchcraft are you using?" the priest shouted.

He found that the dusty man in front of him was different from the wizards he had met before. He didn't understand why the other party had such powerful witchcraft

"Go down and ask your gods." Zhao Xu said.

"I curse you." The priest immediately took out a knife and angrily cut his palm open, muttering the curse to Zhao Xu.

Suddenly, waves of heat hit Zhao Xu, and the ashes on the ground began to reignite.

[Adventurer Zhongxia, your "Endure the Environment" spell has expired.]

"Great Master Anto Delos, your servant begs you to come." The priest suddenly shouted, and at the same time, he slashed another knife on his arm, trying to increase the power of the sacrifice.

Suddenly, the originally peaceful underground erupted into a huge wave of fire that reached into the sky.

Finally, a super-large fire element walked out of the flames. It turned back and looked contemptuously at the kneeling sacrifice behind it, and ordered: "Remember to make up for the sacrifice when you come back."

The priest quickly knelt down and said, "I will definitely offer it again, definitely."

After receiving the answer, the super-large fire element turned back to look at Zhao Xu, looking at him with a scornful expression, "Is it you, an ant, that disturbs my peace?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but raise his head and look at the super large fire element that was almost ten meters high and already exceeded most of the dead trees in the deep mountains.

This kind of super large fire element with a challenge level of 7 and an average of 133 HP is indeed not something that a level 3 mage like him can handle.

This super large fire element comes from the fire element plane, and is the oldest and most authentic creature in the fire element plane.

When they came to Arthur, they naturally turned into inter-dimensional creatures.

Earthlings like Zhao Xu are classified as alien creatures when they come to Arthur.

Zhao Xu once dared to go down to the cave and was fearless when he saw the purgatory language.

It's because even if demons appear, they are alien creatures in Arthur.

These creatures from other worlds will be bound by the power of Arthur, the main material plane.

Zhao Xu held the protective staff in his hand and said to the super large fire element in front of him: "Go back."

Expulsion!

In the next month, there will be a minimum of 3 updates on odd-numbered days, and a minimum of 2 updates on even-numbered days. On average, there will be a minimum of 8k updates per day.

Arrange additional updates for rewards and additional updates for apology on even-numbered days, like today. Otherwise, I really won’t be able to repay the debt every day, let alone ask for a monthly ticket. I’m sorry.
