The Truth of Magic

Chapter 253: Face it

Views:

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, even though Frank had become a nine-ring mage, he still couldn't help showing a look of panic at this moment.

The devil left too deep a shadow on him.

Compared to the many levels of lords in the Abyss, there are exactly nine lords in the Nine Hells, the main one being Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells.

At the same time, the war between Baator Hell and the Abyss can last for many years on the bloody battlefield.

On the one hand, it has a lot to do with the lords of the abyss fighting on their own, and on the other hand, it can also be seen as to the background of Baator Hell itself.

Zhao Xu saw that Master Frank was showing signs of retreating and mocked him, "Don't you want to get your wife back?"

"If you are even afraid of facing that devil, why not give up now."

As if being stimulated by Zhao Xu, Frank, the mage who had transformed into a construct, still gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, he took out an ancient bronze mirror from his dimensional bag. It was no bigger than a palm and seemed to belong to women's dressing rooms.

But the patterns on the back of the mirror are all outlined in Purgatory language, and together with the mysterious emblem in the middle, it exudes an ominous meaning.

"My wife's soul was swallowed up by this mirror. Later, I kept her body, waiting for the soul to return." Frank said lonely.

For ordinary people, the cost of resurrection spells is the biggest problem in resurrecting the dead.

But for powerful adventurers, the biggest problem in resurrection is where those souls go.

Resurrection cannot be forced.

Frank then continued to take the sacrifices needed for the summoning ceremony from the dimensional bag, and then drew a simple magic circle on the ground to activate the altar.

"These devils are a little too cautious. Even the summoning ceremony has to be specially customized?"

Arthur has many spells to summon devil projections, but he usually summons ordinary-level devils.

Zhao Xu, who had only slightly studied the ritual, felt that the ritual was different from ordinary devil summoning rituals, and was not just satisfied with communication.

Although some summoning rituals have ended, the attention of evil creatures from other worlds has not.

Those evil creatures from other worlds can even track the target creature and even obtain the sensory information of the contractor, even to the point of telepathy and direct hints.

What's even more exaggerated is that Zhao Xu noticed that the other party, as a nine-ring mage, didn't take any precautions before summoning the devil.

It's like entertaining your friends instead of calling out the devil.

Zhao Xu had at least used the "protection from evil" spell before.

"It seems that he must have failed after testing. This time, seeing the hope of a comeback, he didn't even have the means to be on guard." Lux said.

Seeing that Frank was concentrating on the whole process and arranging a simple summoning altar bit by bit on the ground, Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown: "This shows that the devil is very cautious. Lacus, are you sure?"

"Ah? Are you sure?" Lux suddenly asked, "Why should I be sure? Master, you have the amulet of the 'Servant of the Blazing Sky' on you anyway. That angel will definitely not see anything happen to you."

"Lux, the one we have to face is the 'Hell Lord' level, even if this time it is just the incarnation of the other party." Zhao Xu frowned slightly.

"Hey, Master, you also know that it is an incarnation. We are in the main material plane and are born to restrain them. But I guess it won't come over. It is just communicating with us."

At this time, Frank had completely finished the arrangement and began to chant the communication spell while constantly turning the mirror in his hand.

Suddenly, the temperature of the entire treasure house dropped a few points.

Slowly, under the influence of true knowledge and the cooperation of many investigation skills, Zhao Xu began to feel a powerful will energy suddenly descending into the mirror.

The prerequisite for controlling alien creatures, such as some "Alien Oath Binding" spells, is that the other party has been summoned.

Now if it was just a will, Zhao Xu could only "talk".

Suddenly, an extremely evil force emerged from the mirror, as if it had the atmosphere of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in a bloody battle, covering the entire treasure house.

[Adventurer Zhongxia, you are currently within the scope of the "evil aura".]

Zhao Xu naturally listened to the eight-ring arcane spell "Evil Aura".

But he didn't expect that just by completing the ritual and the other party's will coming, such a spell would result.

It's already a bit like a super-scale war.

"Oh, which humble reptile is it again?"

Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in the mirror, speaking in purgatory language with a hoarse voice.

Zhao Xu, who had the blessing of "Qiaoyan", immediately understood what the other party said.

"The aura is really at the lord level, so Frank can be provoked." Lux also said at this time.

"It's me, humble Frank." Frank quickly bowed and said to the vague voice in the mirror.

"Oh, it turns out it's you, Frank. Have you met the three conditions? If you don't do it, I will put your wife's soul into the body of the lemur. From then on, she will become our tribe. Already." The evil devil mocked.

"No, no, great master Eric, please don't do this." At this time, Frank begged in a sad voice.

Even his blood is integrated into mithril, and his body organs have been transformed into mithril. But the raging emotion in my heart has never faded.

"Who are you?" At this time, Zhao Xu took a step forward and looked seriously at the mirror possessed by the devil's will.

"He is actually the priest of the Goddess of Magic. He has a disgusting aura. It turns out you were the one who coerced Frank? What should I do? For example, let him kill you all?" The vague evil shadow laughed at Zhao Xu. .

Just after hearing that his wife's soul would be injected into the body of a lemure, Frank was already in a state of chaos and lost the most basic thinking ability of a mage.

"Hand over the soul of Frank's wife." Zhao Xu said at this time, looking at the blurry figure in the bronze mirror.

At this moment, the "Miracle Technique" in his hand is getting ready to go.

He originally wanted to save the remaining half of his life energy for the big battle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Now that he encounters this situation, he will throw it out without hesitation.

"Haha, who are you? How did you get such a face to communicate with the great me?" The devil in the mirror is even more domineering.

"Master, this character is not quite like those lords in hell." Lux said in surprise.

Compared with the countless lords in the abyss, the lords of the nine levels of hell are all vividly remembered.

"A person who negotiates on behalf of Frank." Zhao Xu said.

"You are so confident, how about making a bet?" The will in the mirror suddenly said provocatively, "If you are willing to use your soul as a bargaining chip, then I can also use Frank's wife as a bargaining chip."

"How to bet?" Zhao Xu asked.

At this time, the "miracle technique" in his hand was just short of the last fireworks.

"For example, guess who I am? You have three chances. As long as you guess correctly, I will return the soul of Frank's wife to you. But if you fail to guess, I will take away your soul." The blurry figure in the mirror Continue to induce Zhao Xu.

He is not afraid of Zhao Xu cheating. As long as he goes through several layers of language traps, once Zhao Xu starts to guess, the consequences will be the same as swearing in front of the River Styx.

"Master, this sounds like more than just a one-third possibility guess." Lux thought, "Three chances to guess the current nine lords of Baator Hell doesn't seem too much. But in fact, there are still hells. Some former lords, and even devils who are close to lord-level existence, it’s just that they were not granted a territory to rule.”

"How about it? Do you accept it?" The entire treasure house suddenly echoed with the cruel smile of the evil will in the mirror, "Look at the cowardly helper you are looking for, hahaha."

"I accept." Zhao Xu said.

Suddenly, Frank's already desperate eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

"Then take your guess, there are only three names." said the power of the mirror.

But compared to the devil's tradition, it did not come up with a complicated treaty for Zhao Xu to sign.

"Miracle: I want the contract to be executed without loopholes."

"Miracle: I want the contract to be executed without being misinterpreted."

"Miracle: I want the contract to be enforced justly and equitably."

"Miracle: I want the contract to be executed intact."

"Miracle: I want the contract to be executed now and immediately."

Suddenly, Zhao Xu cast five miraculous spells in five consecutive rounds.

One after another sacred aura emerged from Zhao Xu's body.

The falling of each syllable means that the power of will in the void is becoming more and more oppressive.

Countless mighty powers of heaven immediately filled this space, forming an inescapable cage, locking this space bit by bit.

It seems that every step you take, you will feel the power of hitting specific rules.

Under the influence of the miracle technique, the originally hidden vows began to emerge, constantly hovering above everyone, full of future meanings.

The words exchanged between Zhao Xu and the shadow in the mirror turned into unbreakable contract words under the golden light.

"How could there be such an abuse of miracles?" The will in the mirror suddenly felt furious.

It didn't expect that the trap it set would turn into an oath to restrain itself!

"But you haven't guessed it yet. You want to execute the oath immediately, and you have blocked your own escape route." The will in the mirror also reacted and smiled ferociously.

Even if Zhao Xu guessed it just now, he could still delay it for hundreds of years, or even directly give the other party a devil with the soul of Frank's wife.

At the request of Zhao Xu's miracle technique, the oath they had just made was realized, and the pressure on him was also much greater.

"Graz'zt."

Zhao Xu suddenly said the name of this demon king who was the best in the abyss and one of the few who could aspire to the top.
