With the pointing of Zhao Xu's staff, the world was suddenly filled with death, as if the doomsday of decline had been summoned from the kingdom of the dead, making the players around him feel a trembling feeling at this moment.
The troll hunter, who had a full 12 HD of life dice, gave him a scornful glance and didn't care at all about Zhao Xu's spellcasting in the distance.
Although the mage had just released two fireballs, destroying the goblin troops they summoned.
However, the opponent was careless when he cast necromancy spells on them.
The trolls are born with a strong physique, and in the three major saving throws of toughness, willpower, and reflexes, "toughness" is dominant, up to a full 16th level, and the spells of ordinary mages cannot hinder them at all.
Now, with Zhao Xu's finger, he finished.
The highest-level troll hunter suddenly stiffened, and the withering power of death spurted out directly from its body.
Although this energy is not fire or acid, its regeneration ability cannot be terminated.
However, it has an instant death effect and can directly wipe out all the life energy of living targets.
At this time, a barbarian also shouted and waved his giant sword with both hands, stabbing towards the most powerful troll in the field.
At this time, he had already decided to stab the other person rather than die, so he used this sword in anger.
When he was about to stab the troll hunter, he found that the opponent's dodge movements had become slower.
But before he could be happy, he saw the troll hunter stiffen and then fall on the spot.
It was as if he was hurt by his invisible sword energy.
Seeing this scene, the warriors who were closely surrounding the troll were a little unresponsive. One or two of them were staring at the giant sword in the barbarian's hand.
But soon, they noticed the eyes of the people behind them, and everyone looked at the staff in the hands of the strong wind mage.
Obviously, the staff composed of finger bone strings dominated the scene just now.
"How many lives does a troll hunter have?" At this time, some players couldn't help but ask.
"At least more than 100 HP." Someone immediately answered vaguely.
"Normally it is above 130 HP, and it can be higher." Ranger Jiuxue put down the bow and arrow in his hand and said.
"It's so powerful. I'm afraid a level 10 warrior with 130 HP is just like this. He was instantly killed by a spell that couldn't even see a trace?"
But no one knew at this time that even if the troll in front of him had 130,000 HP, he would still die as long as he failed the save.
This is the power of the finger of death.
Directly obliterate living creatures.
Moreover, the "legendary necromantic staff" in Zhao Xu's hand has a saving throw difficulty of up to level 34 for the "finger of death".
In other words, the "Troll Hunter"'s chance of passing just with a level 16 tough save is only about 10%.
If the resistance effect does not have a "test result" above level 18 this time, then the superposition of the two phases will be lower than his saving throw difficulty. In the case where the troll has no spell resistance, it will be directly obliterated.
So Zhao Xu was not surprised at all when he saw the "Troll Hunter" fall to the ground and die. An ordinary seven-ring mage who released the seven-ring "Finger of Death" had a saving throw difficulty of about 20 levels (10+ levels). Number + Intelligence adjustment).
For trolls, it is simply the ability to resist easily. This is why the "Finger of Death" is famous but has not many achievements.
It can only be used to kill chickens with a knife and kill some creatures with low immunity.
However, the Necromantic Staff itself is upgraded to a full 16th level of "spell upgrade" to release this spell, and the natural saving throw difficulty is also raised to a sky-high 34th level.
This is also the reason why this staff requires two rounds of energy to use the "Finger of Death".
At this time, the other two ordinary trolls saw their leader, Troll Hunter, fall to the ground and die, and an unprecedented sense of panic filled their hearts.
For a moment, both trolls screamed. Regardless of the sharp blades attached to their bodies, they gave up their defense and fled towards the way they came.
Living near the realm of Mystra, they already knew that they had offended a powerful mage. Although they only had 6 points of intelligence, this fearful instinct still prompted them to run for their lives.
The escape instinct of the trolls tells them that generally powerful mages are too lazy to chase down those escaping monsters out of magnanimity.
However, what they encountered was not a powerful mage in the traditional sense.
Zhao Xu once risked the loss of five resurrection stones and went to meet the most devil-like demon "Grazt". He also relied on the inside information of his past life to guess the opponent's identity and advanced the Nine Rings for the Emerald Star Master. The mage solved the problem of his wife’s soul.
Naturally, he also received generous rewards from the other party, possessing a "legendary necromantic staff" and a "high-level super magic staff".
Later, after Zhao Xu got the Death Godhead fragment, which could be used to replenish the energy of the staff, he became even more unscrupulous in using the staff. At worst, he would not waste it in the next week.
At this time, Zhao Xu looked at the two trolls who had tried their best to escape, and just smiled contemptuously. They didn't know that it was safest to stay among the players.
At this time, Zhao Xu had made up his mind to use all the abilities of the staff, so he naturally had no thoughts of being stingy.
When the two trolls were about to run back to where they first appeared, Zhao Xu directly raised the "Necromantic Staff" in his hand, activated the lowest six-ring spell among the four spells inside, and whispered, "Death." The magic circle.”
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you cast the "Death Circle" and can kill creatures with a total value of 75 HD (20D4 + spell enhancement 10D4)]
Suddenly, a huge invisible ring with a radius of 12 meters and an area of nearly 500 square meters covered the two escaping trolls.
Each of them has only 6 HD of Hit Dice, and their vitality does not exceed 75 HD. When the saving throw fails, the fire of life burns out.
The luster in the troll's eyes immediately disappeared, and they fell directly on the spot. After weighing almost half a ton, they hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
At the same time, deep in the jungle ahead, three dull landing sounds were heard one after another.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile when he heard the sound, "There are actually trolls hiding in the jungle, waiting to take action."
It's just that no matter how deep the troll hunter's calculations are, he can't withstand Zhao Xu's spell coverage area of just over 500 square meters. In addition to the two escaped trolls, he also covered the three trolls hiding in the jungle, directly He was killed by the "death circle", a group instant death spell.
Zhao Xu watched this scene silently, feeling the feeling of the energy between heaven and earth being fed back to him after killing those trolls.
It's a pity that the six-ring "Death Circle" can only kill creatures with less than 9 HD, otherwise it is quite handsome as a group death spell.
Spells that kill creatures are calculated based on the total number of hit dice. For example, most of the "Watcher" guilds are only level 1 or 2, so they only have 1 or 2 HD.
Even if Zhao Xu had just killed five trolls with a spell, the 6 HD of each troll added up to 30 HD, which was still a full 45 HD away from the upper limit of 75 HD of the spell, which was enough for him to kill the members of the "Watcher" union as well.
And as Zhao Xu used spells one after another to kill the troll that everyone had been unable to kill just now, the players of the Watcher Guild looked at him with a hint of awe.
They were even wondering which one of Arthur's giants the Storm Mage was descended from, otherwise how could he bring such a domineering staff out with him.
Several senior leaders of the union were secretly calculating how long they could survive if the spell fell on them.
At this time, Zhao Xu also walked forward with his legs and walked directly to the body of the "Troll Hunter". At this time, the players of the union automatically gave up an area so that Zhao Xu could review and kill him. prey.
At this time, every player was staring at the "staff" in the hands of the blast mage, guessing the price.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the wind mage did not take off all the monster's equipment and items as trophies, but continued to raise the staff in his hand.
"Again?"
"Not completely dead?"
"alert!"
Seeing Zhao Xu's movements, the players closest to him became extremely cautious and raised their weapons again to face each other from a distance.
However, the staff in Zhao Xu's hand directly exuded the aura of the dead, and suddenly the entire area seemed to be filled with undead creatures, making both priests frown.
Immediately afterwards, a power summoned from the Kingdom of the Dead floated directly in the void, and then slowly merged into the "Troll Hunter" who fell to the ground.
"Is it summoning undead creatures?" At this time, a priest had already reacted.
"The fourth ring controls the dead? Or the sixth ring summons the undead." Priest Qingkong couldn't help but wonder when he saw the transformation of the troll hunter's corpse and the dark and deep energy jumping on it.
Slowly, the "Troll Hunter" that was completely dead stood up unsteadily. It looked around with blank eyes, as if it didn't know how long it had been sleeping.
At this time, many people were already covering their mouths and looking at this huge creature that was more than three meters tall and had an evil aura all over its body.
It has a human-like body with no hair on its skin. The only difference is that the entire chest has been hollowed out, leaving only two rows of ribs.
There is a little person struggling in the middle. Its lower body has been integrated with the chest, but the little person's face is frightened, as if he is trying to break away and escape.
This weird scene made all the players present feel a little numb.
Even the priest players who resisted the undead fell silent at this moment.
Even Zhao Xu didn't expect that the strongest undead creature he could summon with his eighth-ring "Advanced Evocation of the Undead" spell would actually look so ugly.
Zhao Xu had no choice but to introduce at this time, "Excuse me, the undead creature I summoned at this time, the 'Soul Prisoner Demon', has a challenge level of 11. It will stand at the front to clear the way for us."
