The Truth of Magic

Chapter 192: Quiet female voice (3/3)

Are these pastors sacrificing their lives for God

Zhao Xu murmured to himself.

He felt a little strange. In fact, these Naraku's priests were the last hope for the opponent's resurrection.

After all their seeds are extinct, who will come to resurrect Naraku

Can't he rely on priests of these goddesses

Zhao Xu thought as he continued to walk forward. He had to take a closer look at the writing on the wall to see if there was anything special about it.

Just when he stepped into the threshold, dynamic information suddenly flashed by.

[Adventurer Zhongxia, triggers "Ghoul Rune Barrier", fails the save, and will be paralyzed for 1D6 (1-6) + 2 = 4 rounds]

After seeing these words, Zhao Xu immediately knew that he was in trouble, but at this moment, his whole body fell into a state of paralysis.

"Ghoul Rune Barrier" is the second-level spell of the mage, and it is also the spell of the hunger field, which is an unpopular field for priests.

It is powerful in that it can be retained permanently after being cast, and the energy does not dissipate until it is triggered by someone.

The paralysis state makes a person unable to move, but the heart can still move. If Zhao Xu can cast spells without magic components, then he can cast spells at this moment.

But as long as he gives up his potential points, he can use "Silent Spell" to avoid sound elements and "Spell Confirmation" to avoid movement elements, so that he can release spells.

However, there was no attack immediately after the paralysis, which confirmed his initial thinking.

Even if there are traps, ordinary traps have become too stuck over hundreds of years to be effective.

Not many of the magic traps can be preserved.

Only by waiting forever to trigger the spell can it continue to be saved.

But Zhao Xu couldn't turn back yet, otherwise he would have to take a closer look where the "Ghoul Rune Barrier" was hidden.

This rune needs to be close to about half a meter before it will be triggered, and it also needs to occupy two or three square meters, so there is no need to worry about a second identical spell coming soon.

[Adventurer Zhongxia, triggers "Higher Guardian Carving", fails the save, and will activate a level 6 spell.]

Zhao Xu was almost stunned.

The Guardian of the Grave Guard is a third-level divine spell for priests. Like the "Ghoul Rune Barrier", it is always on standby, and then the energy dissipates after it is triggered and takes effect.

When approaching the engraving guard, you must meet the conditions or speak the password.

It's just that Zhao Xu has been paralyzed, so how can he speak.

Otherwise, the carving guard may burst out with burst damage, or burst out a third-level spell pointed at him.

The high-level guardian carving guard is a sixth-level spell above the low-level version. The only difference is that the triggering spell can be upgraded to the sixth level.

A gloomy black light directly hit Zhao Xu, who was unable to move.

[Adventurer Zhongxia, you are affected by the "Ghoul's Hand" spell, fail the save, and will suffer 3D6 (3-18) damage each round.]

Energy-inhibiting skin!

Zhao Xu immediately used mental commands to activate the newly obtained mount.

[Adventurer Zhongxia, you suffered 3D6 (3-18) = 3HP (locked) damage]

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu got this reminder, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had just obtained this piece of equipment.

"Ghoul's Hand" is a sixth-level arcane spell and a fifth-level domain spell in the Hunger Domain.

It can cause the target character to suffer 3-18 points of damage per round, with an average of 11 points of damage per round.

After the initial save fails, the damage lasts forever.

Once its health reaches zero, the target is killed by this spell and becomes a ghoul.

Zhao Xu only has 17 HP, and he still needs to be paralyzed for 3 rounds (18 seconds).

But with this blood volume, he simply couldn't withstand the output of the "Ghoul Hand" spell for three rounds.

That's why he hurriedly activated his "energy-suppressing skin" and locked the damage directly on the lowest 3HP.

In this way, he will be paralyzed for 3 rounds, only losing 9 HP, which just consumes the "Energy Suppressing Skin" three times a day.

The problem is that the damage from "Ghoul Hands" will last forever, and he has no more "Suppressive Skin" bonus times!

At this time, Zhao Xu either looked for spells that could break this curse, such as "curse removal", "medical spell", "wishing spell", etc., which could terminate this effect.

However, they are all at least level three spells, which are not what Zhao Xu can cast at the moment.

And Zhao Xu cast healing spells on himself, which only delayed death and drank poison to quench his thirst.

Even the amount of healing can't keep up with the amount of damage.

Zhao Xu also didn't expect that these Naraku priests would be punished for killing people.

For these invaders, they have to become undead creatures and ghouls before they are willing to accept them.

Just when Zhao Xu was feeling disgusted and thinking about ways to escape from the danger, the third round came as scheduled.

However, Zhao Xu had already reacted. At this time, he quickly took out the "protective staff" from his backpack as quickly as possible.

Speaking of which, Zhao Xu has never used one of the most useful three-ring spells of the mage, "Dispel Magic".

Zhao Xu only used it at the beginning in the mine to suppress the power of the trap under the altar.

This time, Zhao Xu held the staff and cast the spell on himself: "Dispel the magic."

I saw the pure and incomparable magical ability emerging from Zhao Xu's staff and integrating into his body. His face, which had turned black after being hit by the spell, suddenly returned to rosy.

Finally, when the fourth round came, before the "ghoul hand" was about to cause damage again, Zhao Xu finally successfully dispelled the spell effect and eliminated the risk of turning into a ghoul.

Even though Zhao Xu only lost 3 HP in each round just now, after 3 rounds, he only had 8 HP left, which was about the same as an ordinary level 1 priest.

After seeing that his life was not safe at all, Zhao Xulian continued to use the "Cure Minor Injuries" spell to bring his health back to normal.

At the same time, he continued to take out alcohol, smeared it all over his body, and cast the second-level spell "False Life" on himself. Suddenly, Zhao Xu's health soared from 17 HP to 30 HP.

In this way, if he encounters the accident just now, at least his health will be able to withstand the fourth round of damage.

If Zhao Xu hadn't just worked hard to increase his hand speed before taking out the staff and using it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand the fourth round of spells from the hands of the ghoul, because then it would no longer be 3, but 3- 18HP.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Zhao Xu started to look around, and then noticed two runes on the lock of the door he first came in from.

It's a pity that it was in the blind spot of his vision at the beginning, otherwise with his "reading magic" he would have been able to identify the effect and wouldn't have barged in stupidly.

Next, Zhao Xuzai carefully looked at every detail around him and pondered the differences.

After finally releasing a few more detection spells, Zhao Xu finally determined that the two triggering spells just now might be the last trap in this hall.

At this time, Zhao Xu also started to walk towards the line of words with caution.

On the wall of the hall, someone used a lighter-colored pen to write various Naraku's teachings.

"Is it possible that this is a resurrection ceremony?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but turn around and look at the thirteen sarcophagi.

As he walked over just now, he felt that each sarcophagus contained an amazing coolness, as if they were made of ice.

Zhao Xu's thoughts couldn't help but wander to the forbidden book "Gods and Demigods" in the legendary library. According to Lu Duo's suggestion, reading this kind of book would be too easy for believers to be besieged, so he was advised to give up. .

Naturally, Zhao Xu can't recall now whether there are any methods of resurrection of gods in the book "Gods and Demigods".

In an instant, Zhao Xu calmed down.

He found that his thoughts were complicated.

In the first place, why did the priests arrange such a ceremony

All sarcophagi, all dead on June 13th.

All this shows that their intentions are far from superficial.

What about the remaining steps

You can't rely on the devil to come in and continue the steps of "resurrecting" the God of Death, right

Zhao Xu knew that the secret of this palace was hidden in the backhand.

Even if this ritual is really to protect the resurrection of the gods, then just three divine spells as a trap would be too cheap.

He should never have been able to walk in alive.

And there is no altar enshrining the artifact here.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu felt the notebook on his chest continue to vibrate.

He quickly took it out and looked through it:

"It took me and found the way to the altar. This seems to be a temple!"

"The devil deceived the door and successfully entered. At the end, there is another strange door. Why are there so many sarcophagi inside?"

"The devil wanted me to enter first. I was paralyzed and kept losing lives. I was so scared. I still want to go back!"

"Strange, at the last moment, before I was about to die, a healing spell hit me, restoring my status and restoring my life."

"Then the demon came in to check, and then the demon died and re-possessed me."

"It says you need to trigger those two spells to survive."

The words in the notebook just stopped here.

At this time, Zhao Xu looked at the door with a slightly unnatural expression.

Those spells are all triggered once and then expire.

Who had specially arranged what he had just triggered

"An "energy conversion field" is arranged at the door, so those spells will be restored after being charged."

At this time, a quiet female voice sounded behind Zhao Xu.
