At this critical moment, Zhao Xu already knew that all the invisible armor bonuses in the defense around him had been broken through.
When the sword touched the cloak and penetrated his skin, his star cloak suddenly burst out with a rustling star light, and it was able to withstand the large long sword that was three-quarters of his height.
Half of the strength was relieved.
It's just that the murderous edge of the other half of the blade has been injected into Zhao Xu's body.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you were attacked by an iron golem, taking damage of 17 HP (2D10+7). When the Star Cloak takes effect, the damage is halved to 9 HP.]
Magic weapons!
Zhao Xu also didn't expect that these iron golems were actually equipped with luxurious magic weapons.
Otherwise, the non-magical weapon would be shattered by the cloak the moment it touched him.
This also directly weakened his 27 health points to only 18 points.
Two more strikes at this pace and he will fall.
At this time, Zhao Xu had turned around and saw clearly behind him that another "Iron Golem" had appeared inexplicably!
What made him even more troubled was that behind the opponent were two iron golems of the same height and size, stabbing at him with long swords at the same time.
The whole situation took a turn for the worse.
The four specially strengthened iron golems have a challenge level of more than 13.
Even without any additional abilities, these four iron golems together are equivalent to a level 17 challenge encounter.
But Zhao Xu no longer had any time to think.
The four swords came together and formed a sword net, blocking all his room for movement and increasing his attack power by three points.
Zhao Xu's thoughts changed rapidly.
A time-traveling talisman
Secondary rapid explosion
The iron golem had proven to be able to break through his defenses, and his delay was only delaying his death.
Zhao Xu looked back directly at himself and activated another ability.
Knowledge (Arcana) Check—Retrieve the Iron Golem!
In the short moment of less than a breath, after Zhao Xu's spell lasted longer than the second-level spell "God's Knowledge", all his knowledge checks were increased by 10 levels of insight.
He is basically not an ancient secret, everyone can see it roughly.
And having read the "Monster Illustrated Book" in Antinoya's hand allowed him to get additional bonuses and obtain more data when searching for monster knowledge.
After glancing at the acquired knowledge, Zhao Xu instantly released the "Strength Combat Staff" in his hand and activated the other glove at the same time.
In an instant, the "Super Magic Instant Scepter" hidden inside appeared directly in his hand, and a heavy feeling came from the palm of his hand.
Only with the space storage gloves can he achieve such seamless switching. Otherwise, ordinary people would have been killed by the sword just by holding the weapon for a few seconds.
At this moment, Zhao Xu is holding the scepter made of one piece of metal tightly, passing on his faith and stimulating his "spell instant" ability -
"Sacred Domain Technique."
As a clear silver aura covered Zhao Xu's whole body, the four demon statues that originally drew their swords and stabbed him stopped.
Several long swords were pointed at Zhao Xu, within a few punches of each other, but they never penetrated.
When Vivian saw this, she understood what was going on.
Zhao Xu also said hurriedly, "Don't move, I'll do it."
As he spoke, he held the scepter and lightly touched Vivian, and instantly a stream of the same spell energy was injected into her.
After doing this, he took a breath.
Just now, he used instant casting and normal casting, and finally cast two "sacred realm spells" in a hurry.
Holy realm technique, also known as "safety technique".
It can keep one person safe.
The spell ignores resistance. After it is applied to oneself, as long as one does not take action, the enemy can only formally complete the attack by passing a Will saving throw.
It's just that on a normal battlefield, if the priest prepares this spell, the consequences will often be that the priest survives alone and all his teammates die.
The single-body sanctuary spell is a first-level spell, but the group sanctuary spell is a fifth-level spell.
Although this spell is excellent, it has been criticized a lot. Zhao Xu currently only has one teammate, and he can cast a spell instantly, so he can barely make do with it.
The four iron golems in front of them are outstanding in terms of attack power, defense power, and even magic immunity.
Only the immunity measurements, because magic immunity can ignore most spells, and the attribute value measurements are average, so it is only six or seven levels.
Under the threat of extremely difficult immunity from Zhao Xu's archive of magical spells, it is naturally difficult to resist.
At this time, Vivian also hurried over, raised her hand and pressed it on Zhao Xu's chest.
[Adventurer Zhao Xu, you were treated by Paladin Vivian’s holy healing ability and recovered 9 HP.]
In an instant, Zhao Xu's health, which had just been stabbed by a sword, was directly restored to full value under the influence of Vivian's paladin ability.
The bleeding wound on his back healed perfectly, leaving no trace, leaving only the fresh blood splattered on his robe.
With 8 points of charm adjustment combined with the 3rd level paladin level, Vivian's Holy Treatment can heal a total of 24 HP. It's not a lot, but it's also precious.
It's not that Zhao Xu can't cast healing spells at this time, but that they are all scrambling for time.
As the Holy Domain spell is a round-level spell, during these 14 rounds, as long as Zhao Xu and Vivian do not take action, they are not afraid of being possessed by the long sword.
However, as a first-level spell, the Holy Domain spell can only block attacks and single-target spells, but it is powerless against area spells.
A fireball strike can still cause damage to them.
The Iron Golem also has a breath attack.
This round of iron golems lost their ability to attack and had no intelligence. They could only fight instinctively and were stuck there, frozen.
But at the beginning of the next round, Zhao Xu once again had to face several "breath attacks".
At this time, Vivian also thought of this and looked at Zhao Xu.
Although she is a succubus paladin, her abilities cannot solve the current problem. The only ability she can use to summon demons is something she will never use again.
"Is there a spell to suppress breath weapons?" Vivian asked.
On the huge stone bridge, at the moment when the iron golem stopped, only the heartbeats of the two were trembling.
"Yes, the third-level spell 'suppresses breath weapons'."
Zhao Xu said helplessly, "It's just that this silly spell is a single spell."
This three-ring spell was originally designed to target the dragon's breath attack.
But in this scene, how could Zhao Xu find four three-ring spells and release them one by one.
It's not like he's going back home after finishing this job, let alone the time it takes to release four single-target spells in a row.
Zhao Xu has a full spell list, and he can come up with a spell to deal with basically any situation.
The problem is that his resources are not unlimited.
At this moment, the three iron golems that had just attacked Zhao Xu began to tremble, as if a car had started its engine.
There is no doubt that the remaining three poisonous "breath attacks" that can damage the body are already accumulating energy.
At this moment, Zhao Xu continued to think about the next way to deal with it.
Is it to improve his and Vivian's Fortitude saves so that they can just survive the breath attack with level 19 save difficulty
Because Vivian herself can stack 8 points of charm adjustment to the saving throw due to the paladin divine grace ability, there is basically no problem in passing.
A low-toughness mage like him would have a headache.
Or choose to summon spells and call for help
Or maybe just use attack spells to backhand these iron golems
Or even take the opportunity to run away and then cut the battlefield to intercept the enemy
In this short period of less than a second, Zhao Xu generated more than a dozen battle plans in his mind.
It’s not that the plan isn’t good enough, or that the risks are too great.
But Zhao Xu realized it.
He has to win at the minimum cost.
After just walking through the first door, he handed over a bunch of second- and third-level spell slots, and there was no need to continue the exploration.
Suddenly, just when Zhao Xu was about to cast a spell.
The ground shook violently.
Shock again.
More than ten times in succession.
Zhao Xu was almost dumbfounded.
In front of the bridge, an army of dozens of iron golems surged towards them.
When Zhao Xu saw this, he still dared to act recklessly and immediately cast a spell.
The three-ring spell "Spiritual Protection"!
Immune to attribute damage, you can spit whatever you want.
