The Truth of Magic

Chapter 214: Terror-bound Spirit (1/3)

Views:

The body of the Terror-bound Spirit was like layers of gauze stacked together, floating in the air, like that kind of ghost.

But its essence is entirely composed of darkness, its eyes glow red, staring at Zhao Xu, already treating him as prey.

At this moment, Zhao Xu immediately activated his "dark knowledge (tactics)" ability, trying to find the weakness of the creature in front of him.

His only impression of this "Thriller-bound Spirit" was the opponent's name, and that its challenge level exceeded level 10. Zhao Xu had also heard of its weakened version in his previous life, a challenge level 5 "Spirit Binding".

And judging from the floating body, this "Terror-bound Spirit" is similar to a ghost, both are incorporeal undead creatures.

The ghost had left their team unable to fight back, and half of the reason was that the ghost template itself was so powerful that it came with several supernatural abilities.

From the ranged sonic attack of "Horror Wail" that the ghost can actively send out, to the line of sight attack of the opponent's "Corrupting Gaze", and even to the "Corrupting Touch" that can be effective by contact attack.

These special attacks that can erode attributes become the "spear" of "Ghost".

The characteristic of "incorporeal body" is the "shield" of the ghost, and it is also the shield of the "Terror-bound Spirit" in front of him.

To deal with the incorporeal body, only magic weapons can be effective, and like spell attacks, there is only a 50% chance of being effective.

While Zhao Xu was still retrieving knowledge and skills and conducting analysis, the "Terror-bound Spirit" had already swooped over in the air.

Zhao Xu was highly focused at this time. His years of experience as a warrior allowed him to judge that the opponent's attack power was at least level 15 or above!

Even if he has stacked mage armor and shield skills, he may not be able to stop him.

Just as Zhao Xu was thinking about it, under the gauze-like white mist spirit body of the "Terror-bound Spirit", an illusory tentacle full of death had stretched out and touched him.

At this time, a burst of starlight burst out from where his cloak came into contact, shining brightly.

[Adventurer Zhongxia was attacked by the "Physical Touch" of "Thriller Binding Spirit", and the star cloak activated its effect, making him immune to the attack.]

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu's heartbeat accelerated slightly, but his face remained calm.

Originally, he would put life-saving first, but now in this situation, he can only judge many things based on his own guesses.

Rather than blindly seeking perfection.

Zhao Xu judged that the "Terror-bound Spirit" in front of him had no magic weapon!

As long as the opponent's natural weapon does not have the characteristics of a magical weapon, it cannot penetrate the defensive layer of his star cloak.

At this time, the feedback from his dark knowledge (tactics) and religious knowledge also made him instantly clear about the characteristics of the "Terror-bound Spirit" in front of him.

The special attack effect that Zhao Xu had just been immune to was called "Touch of Physical Weakness". Once successful, it would absorb 1-8 points of his constitution.

The key is that the saving throw difficulty of this supernatural ability is as high as level 25.

Zhao Xu is only at level 3 or 4 of tough immunity, so he will definitely be hit by this attack. With his 14 constitution, he would fall to the ground and die within two or three rounds.

Then, as the feedback from the knowledge and skills said - the creatures killed by the "Terror-bound Spirit" will be transformed into derivatives, which are ordinary "Bound Spirits", and will be enslaved by the other party after death.

Therefore, the oldest and most terrifying "spirit binding", the "Terror-bound Spirit", usually only appears in the depths of forgotten temples and abandoned tombs.

However, even though the mummies behind him had swarmed up, Zhao Xu still did not take the initiative to attack.

This negative energy field will cause 10 points of negative energy damage each round. Once he takes action, the spell effect of the "immortal veil" will cease, and naturally Zhao Xu's health will be in an endangered situation.

On the contrary, he is safer now with the protection of the Star Cloak.

Most of the attacks from the undead creatures around him have the effect of damaging his physique, but for their supernatural abilities to take effect, they must hit him first!

So before these undead creatures took out spells or magic weapons, Zhao Xu was in a state of immunity to damage.

This is why Zhao Xu didn't care about those artifacts at that time and had to choose this "Star Cloak".

When the mummies rushed forward, they were hesitant when they saw the "Terror-bound Spirit" attacking Zhao Xu without any reaction.

In other words, the fear of higher-level undead creatures makes them with intelligence learn to wait patiently.

The "Terror-bound Spirit" that came to attack Zhao Xu also roared in annoyance when it saw that its attack failed.

It's just a shame.

The other party's roar did not have any supernatural effect. To Zhao Xu, it sounded like the sound effects of a horror movie.

On the other hand, Zhao Xu had to avoid the ghosts whose challenge level was only level 5 or 6 because they had "supernatural abilities".

These creatures with only one attack method, from the "ultra-small mutant spider" with a challenge level less than level 1 to the "Terror-bound Spirit" with a challenge level 11, were all helpless against Zhao Xu.

This is also the role of a team. Everyone's methods are similar in power, but together they become comprehensive and can overcome various difficult situations.

When Zhao Xu encounters creatures with strong spell resistance, it will also be difficult until he successfully increases his melee ability.

Just like these undead creatures that only have normal attacks feel troublesome to him.

At this time, several "Terror-bound Spirits" in the distance obviously noticed the current situation and also drifted over.

But when Zhao Xu saw the figure of one of them, he almost wanted to run away, or even use his "teleportation boots" ability to distance himself.

Netherworld weapons!

Floating in front was a thicker "Terror-bound Spirit". Its hands did not retract its body, but held a looming giant scythe!

That night, after Zhao Xu used the "demonized weapon" spell to bless the giant sword in Maple Leaf's hand, the opponent could actually hurt the incorporeal body, because magic weapons are effective on incorporeal creatures.

However, this effectiveness is only increased from 0% to 50%, and there is still a half chance of failure like a spell.

Because the virtual body is between the spiritual world and the main material plane.

No one knows whether the opponent is in the main material plane or the spiritual world the moment he swings his weapon.

This is the virtual body in the legendary Schrödinger state.

However, when the weapon feature "Netherworld" appeared, nothing was a problem.

Unless the whole world is full of ghosts and spirit bodies, Zhao Xu has never seen weapons with this characteristic of powerful warriors in his previous life, so it is relatively unpopular.

Originally, the incorporeal body could not hold magic weapons. But when a magical weapon has the "ghost" quality, incorporeal creatures can use it.

This also means that the "Terror-bound Spirit" in front of him is holding a "magic weapon" that can cause damage to Zhao Xu.

Although Zhao Xu can avoid half of the damage from magic weapons after successfully dodging.

But the problem is that the most troublesome is the supernatural ability of "Dreaded Soul Binding" that can damage physical attributes after a successful attack.

At this time, Zhao Xu entered a state where his heart was as calm as water.

He knew that this battle was even more difficult than normal.

Even a mage with the same conditions as him would be dead if he didn't have such powerful equipment.

The Mage Association is not like the vulgar story where geniuses are not allowed to appear, and if there is one, they will obliterate an incompetent organization.

It welcomes geniuses and even looks forward to their emergence.

So this level of difficulty is a bit strange.

In other words, when the farmer who was responsible for repairing flowers and plants in that manor guided him to this place, he himself said -

He is special, so the test is more difficult.

And this difficulty also allowed Zhao Xu to come up with another clue-Wang Ningwei and others did not enter from here.

There is more than one entrance to that demiplane.

Naturally, the locations where they appear in the "scavenger demiplane" may be different.

At this time, Zhao Xu realized that after he felt calm, countless associations about this challenge began to spread.

And the "Terror-bound Spirit" holding the giant scythe was getting closer and closer to him.

When Zhao Xu just made a knowledge test, the test performance result obtained by connecting the source of knowledge was the most perfect level 20.

Therefore, he gained a lot of knowledge about the "Terror-bound Spirit" in front of him at once.

One of them points out the weakness of the "Thriller Binding Spirit" - "sunlight incapacity". The opponent will lose its ability in the sun and escape.

However, it is a pity that it is "sunshine" rather than "fire", otherwise Zhao Xu would just take out the torch in his backpack.

The "daylight spell" that can create a "sunlight effect" is a third-ring spell.

One step away from being stuck is what Zhao Xu is currently in.

Who would have thought that facing an existence like "Dreading Soul Binding" with a challenge level of 11 and a life dice approaching 16 HD, it could be restrained by just a "Daylight Technique".

This is the power of knowledge.

Slowly, the "Terror-bound Spirit" got closer to less than six or seven meters away from Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu smiled indifferently and looked at the other party as if he didn't care about his own life or death.

Until the "Terror-bound Spirit" approached Zhao Xu and reached the attack range of the giant scythe, it directly waved the scythe in its hand.

Believers of the God of Death regard the "giant scythe" with the magical property of "decapitation" as a sacred weapon. Because once they hit a critical hit successfully, in addition to the scythe having the highest four times critical hit among weapons, it also has the instant death effect of "decapitation" - reaping death.

But, everything was too late.

Zhao Xu's whole body suddenly erupted with powerful light, like Arthur's sun descending on the square.

Holy magic "Glory Armor"!

Embarrassing, the author recently got a promotion and a salary increase, so he can't be so casual about fishing. He is usually asked to work overtime, so the updates in the evening will be delayed for a while, I'm sorry. However, everyone gave me nearly 3,000 monthly votes and sent me the sixth book of the new book. I will definitely update it 3 times a day this month.
