The Truth of Magic

Chapter 284: Three divine patterns

Views:

At this time, Zhao Xu was looking at the alternative tattoo, or "divine tattoo" on his arm.

The first divine pattern, "Lord of the Undead", wrapped around his wrist like a wristband. Only the skull image in the middle could tell the characteristics of the "undead creature" in it.

The entire pattern is pure black, as if it was specially drawn with fine brushwork and then ironed on.

But Zhao Xu gently stroked the painting marks, but there was no embossment at all, as if they penetrated directly into the skin.

He also felt that there were strong fluctuations under the divine pattern, like a cannon barrel that was already red and about to explode. It was constantly spewing out energy and drifting away like smoke.

"He is actually the Lord of the Undead." Lux sighed with emotion at this time.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Master, I just sensed the direction of my future evolution from the dissipated energy." Lux said with joy as she looked at the divine pattern on Zhao Xu's arm.

"Lux, what do you mean, your future direction is to simulate similar extraordinary divine power?" Zhao Xu asked tentatively.

"It's just a thought."

"This is an ability that only gods can possess, okay?"

Extraordinary power, a word that Zhao Xu could not even imagine in his unfamiliar past life.

"The expertise of gods is indeed much more powerful than that of mortals." Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not wrong to compare it to the expertise of gods." Lux said at this time.

"Master, the 'Lord of the Undead' is an ability that can only be possessed by those who have a god level of 14. Gods with this extraordinary power can command and destroy any undead creatures at will. The only restriction is that they cannot exceed the number of god levels in each round. That’s all.” Lux said.

This is where the power of the gods is powerful and where the undead are frustrated.

This description, except for the quantitative limit, shows that undead creatures cannot resist this "divine power" at all.

Unlike spells, you have to add all kinds of restrictions, from HD restrictions to spell resistance and saving throws, as well as a huge amount of casting materials, there are layers of restrictions.

As for Zhao Xu, who possesses this divine pattern, even if he faces a legendary undead creature, the opponent will still have to kneel down when faced with this ability.

"Master, how much ability do you still have?" Lux was also looking forward to it at this time.

"This is a weakened version of mine. In addition to being able to be used only once, it can only destroy or control one undead creature." Zhao Xu explained.

At this time, both of them fell silent.

The chance of seizing the fragments of the divine head was originally extremely slim, but suddenly, the fire of hope was rekindled.

It's just that Zhao Xu and Lux both tacitly understood that they must choose the most suitable candidate.

But their eyes didn't just fall on the "demigod mummy" or "god-shrinking one" that appeared in the sky.

Who knows what powerful existence is hidden beneath this city of the dead.

"Will it be effective if I use this ability on the 'shrunk' or 'demigod mummy'?" Zhao Xu hesitated at this time.

"It's really hard to say. It depends on how much divinity the other party has left." Lux said a little uncertainly.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He had just finished lamenting the unlimited limitations of this ability, but there was a loophole all of a sudden

"Yeah, master, don't underestimate this ability. Even if the opponent has some divinity, as long as it is not truly demigod or above, you can still control it with your control ability, but there is a limited time limit."

"As for other legendary undead creatures like the 'Lava Ghost' and 'Winter Ghost', they are under stable control."

As the spokesperson of divine power, Lux also hurriedly explained to Zhao Xu.

At this time, Zhao Xu also looked at the "Land of Sleepers" on the edge of the cliff.

For now, it would be most beneficial for him to "order" the "Abominable Shrunken One".

However, this is the same as releasing the "anti-magic field" to cause the caster to lose his spell ability.

The premise is that you must be able to release the opponent smoothly.

The mage's series of "quick bursts" are just to be able to fight back even if he is one step behind.

Fortunately, even if Zhao Xu doesn't need to use this ability, he can still feel that the divine pattern he uses to drive this "Lord of the Undead" can be driven by "free movements", which is exactly the same as the "Feather Falling Technique".

So no matter how many tricks the "Abominable Shrunk" has, Zhao Xu still has some confidence.

At this time, Zhao Xu also explained to Lux his second divine pattern, "Undead Traits."

His second divine pattern is still in a state of preparation. It will be activated after he uses it, and according to Zhao Xu's estimation, it may last for four or five days.

Some gods, like Naraku, the former god of death, are not undead, but they still possess the characteristics of undead.

Because they possess this "extraordinary divine power".

As long as he is blessed with the power of this "undead trait", Zhao Xu will be able to obtain the true "immortal veil" properties. In addition to being able to no longer be broken through, Zhao Xu will not lose the effect of his spell by attacking undead creatures.

At this time, Zhao Xu looked at the blank character card panel where his status was, and then compared the characteristics of the undead creatures on the divine pattern information. At this moment, he still felt a little confused.

As long as he activates this divine pattern, it will last for the next five days. He will be directly immune to effects that affect the mind, such as "charm", "coercion", "phantom illusion", "psychic illusion", "morale effect" and other elements in the spell. Zhao Xu is equivalent to possessing most of the eight-ring " "Psychic Barrier" spell.

At the same time, he is also immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, shock, disease, and death effects, and will not be affected by critical hits, non-lethal damage, attribute drain, or energy drain.

Those undead creatures, such as Zhao Xu, were affected by the "despair" effect of the opponent's unreachable 48th level of immunity difficulty as soon as they first saw the demigod mummy, and were directly paralyzed for three rounds.

After becoming immune to these abilities, Zhao Xu no longer had any worries.

At least those undead creatures could only beat him to death alive, instead of using various attribute extraction and paralysis methods to kill him.

When targeting undead, the undead themselves are most effective.

"Master, if this characteristic of the dead can be brought to the outside world, it will really be invincible." Lux said.

However, Zhao Xu is still very clear-headed, "The Eighth Ring's 'Veil of the Dead' can also achieve similar methods. As long as the spell continues, the positive energy will turn into damage."

"Master, where is your third divine pattern?" At this time, Lacus also looked at the "divine pattern" on the back of Zhao Xu's hand. Its pattern was an open book, but the seams in the book were condensed with A chaotic cloud, the cloud is after all a huge open eye, staring straight ahead.

"The name of the third divine mark is 'Perception of Death'." Zhao Xu also said with a hint of confusion at this time.

"It's actually this ability." Lux couldn't help but murmured to herself, "This is the 'extraordinary ability' unique to the Death Priest. It allows gods to accurately know the moment they see mortal objects. When and how the other person will end his life."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but stare at his divine pattern at this time. Among the three divine patterns, the "Lord of the Undead" was the most weakened, so the power of the entire divine pattern was also the most unstable. The energy inside fluctuated violently, and something could happen at any time. May collapse.

The second and third "undead traits" and "perception of death" are more like permanent status spells, which continuously output a trickle of power and wrap around Zhao Xu's body.

"Master, which one of these three divine patterns do you think has the greatest effect on you?" At this time, Lacus suddenly asked Zhao Xu.

"The third one, 'perceive death', right?" Zhao Xu answered immediately.

"Huh? Isn't it the 'Lord of the Undead' that allows you to directly command a legendary creature, nor is it the 'Undead Characteristics' that allows you to transform into something that cannot be recognized?"

Zhao Xu shook his head, "Lux, it's not good for you to ask questions like this. Because I am also a mortal, so after activating this divine pattern, its remaining energy can be used by me about five times to 'perceive' myself death."

"This way I can avoid these paths to death by constantly making judgments about myself when I will die."

As he spoke, Zhao Xu's mind began to reason and analyze the next plan.

Since he obtained these three divine patterns, his chances of the "God of Death" godhood have undoubtedly increased to 30% to 50%.

He is now in a combat state of weak attack, strong defense, and high information.

Even his first two divine marks indirectly affected his judgment logic of "perceiving death".

Originally, as long as Zhao Xu showed his face in front of an intelligent undead, he might be discovered and lead to an endless battle.

At that time, what he saw when he "perceived death" was that he would be fought to death by a bunch of low-level undead creatures.

Now, even if he encounters a legendary "demigod mummy" alone, he will not see his own death state.

If he encounters two, he can control one to fight the other enemy undead creature, and it will also lead to a stalemate.

Only in the third type, when he encounters more than three high-level undead creatures, or after he has used up the first divine mark, will "perceive death" take effect for him to see most of the scenes he faces.

After this reasoning, Zhao Xu has understood that he is the strongest when he is suppressing and not using "Lord of the Dead".

Even the "Abominable Shrunk", who also possesses divine nature and is an undead creature, may have sensed Zhao Xu's strange power and avoided it directly.

You know you can't beat him, but you insist on attacking him. That's the behavior of a creature with eight points of intelligence.

"The only question now is why is there this statue here and why did you give me three divine symbols as a gift?"

Several possibilities flashed through Zhao Xu's mind.
