The Truth of Magic

Chapter 158: Ancient Mysteries (1/3)

The protective staff in Zhao Xu's hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, flying straight towards the super large fire element.

And the super-large fire element Antuo Dailesi, who originally looked at Zhao Xu with contempt, vaguely felt the ominous meaning of the magic energy, and it desperately dodged to the side in an attempt to avoid it.

However, "Expulsion" is a spell that does not require aiming. As long as it is within a casting distance of 10 meters, it is absolutely sure to hit, and it can even continue to increase as the caster's level increases.

As for the fire element, when the magical energy of the "Expulsion Technique" hit its body, it didn't take it seriously at first.

It had seen the spells of these blasphemous wizards before, and many of them even originated from the spell-like abilities of various powerful creatures.

However, just for a moment, the energy of the spell exploded.

The fire element Antodalesi showed an unbelievable look. It desperately mustered up the will of its whole body to try to resist the powerful expulsion force from the plane.

However, it is facing a protective staff with a caster level of level 20, which is equivalent to a level 20 mage casting this spell against it.

The power is completely different.

"No, it's impossible. How could you wizards just-"

The sound of the super large fire element gradually faded away, and its body, which was completely composed of extremely violent flames, slowly collapsed, and finally turned into a small flame and then extinguished.

Wherever you come from, go back.

This is the power of the fourth-level divine spell and the fifth-level arcane spell, expulsion spell.

[Adventurer Zhongxia cast the 'Expulsion Technique', and the super-large fire element failed its will save and was expelled.]

The level 20 caster level of the staff in Zhao Xu's hand is a full 4 points higher than the super large fire element's 16 HD, so these 4 points of advantage are directly added to the difficulty of his spells.

The will of the fire element is not a superior immunity, so it is naturally impossible to resist, and the only result is to be driven away.

This is also a problem faced by all alien creatures.

No matter how strong they are, facing spellcasters like Zhao Xu who possess expulsion and banishment spells, there is a possibility that they will be driven away directly.

The priest looked at the fire element that he had summoned by draining all his strength, and was so easily destroyed by Zhao Xu with one blow, and fell into a sluggish state.

He couldn't understand what was going on in the whole process.

It was as if the man in front of him was a demon.

With just a few moves, he eliminated a divine envoy from the fire elemental plane that he had spent the power of countless sacrifices to summon.

The steadfast faith deep in the heart of the priest began to falter.

He looked at Zhao Xu and was about to ask him how he did it, but the fourth wave of damage from the "Law: Pain" in his body did not stop and erupted again.

As if someone had struck him with a sharp blade, the huge pain immediately made him fall into a coma.

Zhao Xu stood in the distance, watching the priest dressed as a primitive shaman fall and slowly walked over.

The opponent's health is now just below zero, and has not yet reached the point where he is truly dead below -10 HP.

It's just that Zhao Xu is too lazy to do anything anymore.

He just looked at the priest who had fallen to his knees and passed out due to pain, and counted down silently.

Until one minute is up.

Zhao Xucai had to step forward to observe the other party's condition to determine whether he was truly dead.

As a kind priest, he cannot cast the "Fortune Watching Technique", a spell that can detect whether surrounding creatures are suspended in death, because this spell is of an evil nature.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xu chose neutrality at the beginning, but later he deviated and had no choice.

However, after he became a file scholar, he could release good or evil spells without any scruples. However, fortune-telling was a first-level spell slot. After thinking about it, Zhao Xu decided to save it and check it by himself.

However, before Zhao Xugang took two steps forward, he found that the body of the sacrifice spontaneously ignited on the spot, and raging flames shot into the sky.

Seeing the inexplicable intensity of the flames, Zhao Xu immediately understood that there was supernatural power involved.

Believing in the god of fire, one is enveloped in flames after death, and may even be reincarnated as a fire elemental.

I'm afraid this is the reason why the priest risked his life to sacrifice the living beings, to pave the way for himself.

Zhao Xu looked at the blood-stained land and couldn't help but sigh.

In the era when he was the Sheriff, Arthur rarely dared to perform sacrifices to evil gods. Whenever a case occurs, it is an earth-shattering case, and the local Good God Church will get involved.

Even if it does happen, high-level adventurers often intervene in the investigation, and it is rarely the turn of a peace officer like him to intervene.

Therefore, Zhao Xu had never heard of the real names of various demon kings or evil gods in his previous life.

Slowly, when the soul-sacrifice was taken away, the flames on the other party's body began to become smaller.

Zhao Xu had been on guard the whole time, guarding against any changes that might come at any time.

After seeing that there was no abnormality, Zhao Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that staying here was a bit like a long night and a dream, so he walked directly over the other party's body and walked to the stone monument.

The extremely tall Molin stele stood in front of him. Zhao Xu tried to reach out and touched along the lines on the stele's surface, feeling the cold feeling from it.

Completely opposite to the hot surrounding environment.

It's as if this stone tablet is in another dimension.

Why did the priest choose to drive the villagers to this place, and what does this have to do with this stone tablet

Zhao Xu knew that in ancient times, sacrifices to gods were made in this barbaric way in many places.

It was not until the emergence of the righteous gods in the future and the entire pantheon of gods began to be standardized and unified that this primitive and barbaric sacrificial behavior was banned. It was only seen in the rituals of some remote ancient tribes or some evil gods.

However, Zhao Xu also had a headache looking at this stone tablet. The stone tablet he encountered in the Forest of Whispers before at least had some mysterious words that could be identified through knowledge checks.

But the stele is completely blank.

Is it possible? What password should be used to start it

If he shouts "Anti Noya", the other party will know and use magic to bring him back to the real world.

And how to trigger this stone tablet

The "Antodales" summoned by the priest just now is just a super-large fire element with a challenge level of 7. There are three levels above it: giant, elder, and prince.

A little brother who was placed in the plane of fire element, but was summoned to the ancient times where the current adventurer level was not enough to show off, so he was able to make such a big head.

But if Zhao Xu looks down on this fire element again and wants to summon him in the future, the price will be a "Seventh Level Summoned Monster".

This also means that the priest just used his own blood to use a seventh-level arcane spell.

This is a power only available to level 13 mages.

In addition to being related to the other party's sacrifice, it must also be related to this stone tablet.

Could it be your real name

Zhao Xu looked at the stone tablet and began to recall the true names of the elemental gods in the Dark Age.

Most of the records of the Dark Age have been lost in the long river of history. In addition, the gods are not willing to resurrect the elemental system, so this period of history has always been very secretive.

Zhao Xu has also read the book "The Road to Arcana" written by Antinoya and read relevant materials when improving knowledge (religion) and knowledge (plane), so he has caught some clues.

"Mos Zelin." Zhao Xu prayed with doubts.

He didn't know the name of the god of this era, but he knew that "Merszerin" was a name with profound meaning to the elemental plane of fire.

This name even appears on some related spells.

Suddenly, the entire stone tablet began to shake.

The originally cold feeling in the depths of the stone monument turned red, as if the entire stone monument had been heated rapidly.

Zhao Xu immediately took a step back.

Slowly, a pair of eyes full of burning flames appeared on the stone tablet, along with a vague outline.

"Who is it that calls us here?"

Zhao Xu looked at the outline that suddenly appeared on the stone tablet and thought silently.

At this time, Antinoya's name was stuck in his throat, ready to be spoken at any time.

"Time Traveler, were you the one who killed my people just now?"

Zhao Xu was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that the other party would see through his identity right away.

But where to start talking about killing? Just now he just expelled the fire element.

But he immediately realized that the other party was referring to the priest.

Sure enough, in this ancient era, the gods could still know the status of each of their priests.

So sometimes, killing a priest has to pay a huge price behind it.

"I would like to ask, what is on the stone tablet?"

Zhao Xu was sure that he could leave at any time, but now he calmed down and asked.

"This is not your era, go back!"

The projection on the stone tablet seemed to be annoyed and shouted at Zhao Xu.

The air was suddenly filled with endless flames, sweeping towards Zhao Xu.

The extremely scorching and high-temperature flames were overwhelming, like countless highly effective fireballs, bombarding the land like star rain, burning everything.

"Secondary Swift Explosion!"

At this critical moment, the thought of casting a spell flashed in Zhao Xu's mind, and he cast the spell directly.

Suddenly the flames all over the sky became like a picture frame by frame, and the speed of spread became extremely slow.

Before Zhao Xu completed his short movement, even though the flames were less than half an arm's length away from Zhao Xu, they were still unable to cause any harm to him.

He is invincible until time runs out.

Zhao Xu looked at the stone tablet in front of him that was wrapped in flames and could not be seen clearly, shook his head and whispered: "Anti Noya!"

I saw that the number of monthly votes for the new book has actually increased to 13th place, which is nearly 3 places higher than the initial 16th place. I have not solicited many monthly votes, but the number is close to 1,000 votes. I'm really touched by everyone's support. If I get promoted by 3 places, I'll add 3 more chapters. It doesn't matter if I fall back later. I've reached this level anyway.

Counting this chapter as a late apology, I still owe 6 chapters.

So everyone, don’t worry, I will definitely update the game 3 times a day.
