In fact, no matter how much the noisy audience speculated, they never expected that just one round of "sub-acid balls" would deal a full 80 points of damage.
The third-level fireball spell is less than half, and half of the damage will be evaded by saving throws.
In other words, the whole process was somewhat beyond Zhao Xu's expectations.
Compared with mages like them who increase their life by 1-4 + physical adjustment per level, undead creatures like vampires have no physical adjustment, so their life increase is only 1-12 points (D12) per level.
It's just that the opponent is still too good, and still can't survive Zhao Xu's test of 80 points of damage.
With one "Spell Maximum Effect", he can fully reduce the damage of "Secondary Strong Acid Ball" to 40 points, and when combined with "Spell Twin", it will be 80 points.
Basically, most of the current players can't afford Zhao Xu's "secondary ball" with 80 points of damage.
Not to mention that there are various elements such as sound waves, fire, cold, etc. in this ball series of spells.
Going further, Zhao Xu can also use the four-ring "strong acid ball". At that time, its damage range is "15D6" and has a nausea effect.
With the bonus of Zhao Xu's super magic expertise, it is 180 points of direct damage without any discount.
But the only price is that Zhao Xu needs to pay 3 (extreme effectiveness) + 4 (twin) - 1 (super magic mastery) = 6 points of temporary attribute damage for the ability of "Super Demonic Control".
Fortunately, his six major attributes now totaled 115 points. Even if he didn't cast the minute-level "energy protection" spell of the third ring in advance to avoid attribute damage, it wouldn't be a big problem.
After returning to his room, Zhao Xu asked Vivian to give him a temporary warning.
He performed a ritual to reconnect with the Legend Library in the Floating City, and connected with Luduo to find the "Dream Ritual".
The process lasted until almost three o'clock. After all the searches in the hotel were completed and calm returned, Zhao Xu successfully obtained the information he wanted and logged off on the spot. ���
After his consciousness returned to Earth, Zhao Xu woke up from his familiar and soft bed.
The contents of the ritual he had just seen in the "Legendary Library" flashed in his mind.
Zhao Xu tried to connect to the supreme artifact "Lux" in his heart, but there was still no response as before.
This also means that the next thing he has to do will have to be self-reliant.
Since ancient times, dream entrustment has been an effective and safe method of "manifestation".
It not only has the means of spatial isolation, but also protects the manifester.
It also meets the most critical step - being able to span the distance in space.
No matter how stubborn a person is, they cannot help but have the same dream content over and over again, not to mention that dreams have more subconscious effects, and their thinking and vigilance levels will be much lower.
In Arthur, Zhao Xu has actually mastered the spell to invade dreams - the four-ring "Walking in Dreams", which is similar to the "transportation" spell and can send the subject into the dreams of others.
There is even the "Dream Puppet Technique" of the fifth ring, which can control the body of others while they are in a dream, just like the "Monster Control Technique".
It's just that the earth and Arthur are in different universes, so Zhao Xu's four-ring spell on Arthur cannot pass through the material energy channel.
If the other party happens to be sleeping in "Arthur", not to mention the spiritual protection of the gods, even if he can succeed, Zheng Xinyun will only think that the stranger in the dream is some kind of game content.
Might be funny, but not serious.
So he needs to use the "dream invasion" method on "Earth".
Zhao Xu naturally couldn't use magic, but in addition to magic, Arthur also had another method - ritual.
This was also the "means" Zhao Xu found from the library.
After thinking about it, he tiptoed quietly to the storage room next to the living room, turned on a flashlight, and searched for the "target items" he needed.
Candles, cardboard, red oil-based pens, aromatherapy essential oils, mirrors…
"Rituals" are essentially similar to spells, except that they can be cast by non-caster characters.
Performing a ritual is like cooking a dish.
Zhao Xu first found the "recipe" (ritual content), then prepared the "materials" (ritual materials), and then through "processing" (arranging the ritual), coupled with the "cooking" (spell gestures) method, he was able to perform it.
After preparing the materials for the ceremony, Zhao Xu returned to his room and locked it up, but the location he chose was on the balcony.
At this time, more than an hour later, when dawn comes, the moonlight is obscured.
Only now, when the moonlight is as cool as running water, pouring over Zhao Xu's balcony and reflecting his face, is the best time.
After Zhao Xu took a deep breath, he began to place the cardboard and quietly arranged it on the balcony.
The reason why rituals cannot replace "spells" is that they are "complex to perform" and "have many specific requirements."
Just like the "ritual" that can "teleport to Joseph's Garden", the place of resurrection, Hrothgar's journey, it requires building a thatched house in the dense forest, and is only valid during the winter solstice.
For example, Zhao Xu's current "Dream Ritual" can only be performed when the moon is close to the Lantern Festival, so if he delays it for a few more days, he will not meet the conditions for performing it.
Zhao Xu, who was very energetic, relied on his strong intelligence to clearly remember the entire process of the "ritual". This was also the prerequisite for him to have the confidence to perform the "dream ritual".
The process of arrangement and execution is very complicated, and if he makes even one mistake, the ceremony will fail.
This may have unpredictable consequences.
The level of mysterious knowledge is a key factor in determining the ritual. Fortunately, Zhao Xu upgraded too quickly, so while other players were busy fighting monsters, he concentrated on studying mysterious knowledge and religious knowledge, and worked hard to improve both. level.
What's more important is that "Anti Noya" has visited here before and left "shelter" for the house.
At the same time, the target of his ceremony is still "Zheng Xinyun". He knows every bit of the other party's details, and now he has an additional layer of indirect "believer" status.
After counting the entire ceremony, Zhao Xu felt that he had exceeded the "90%" success rate.
Finally, after the final version of the magic circle was outlined, Zhao Xu maintained a certain mysterious breathing frequency in accordance with the requirements of the ritual.
At the same time he lit the candle in the center.
As power outages become less and less common in cities, candles are slowly disappearing from people’s eyes.
At this time, the candlelight was floating above the candle body. As Zhao Xu chanted the mantra in a low voice, and at the same time, his hands began to perform repeated hand gestures, the candlelight also accelerated and jumped, as if it was disturbed by the wind.
He kept chanting like this for nearly ten minutes, and there was nothing unusual about the whole process.
Only Zhao Xu knew which stage of execution he had reached.
In an instant, he smeared a handful of peppermint oil on his forehead, and drew on it according to the psychic spell, like a dragon and a snake.
The cold feeling penetrated into his skin bit by bit, until the feeling disappeared after half a moment. Zhao Xu grabbed a handful of valuable sandalwood purchased by his father and burned it, then gently shook it up to shake off the ashes.
At the same time, he placed his gold pendant, which was flattened into thin slices with iron pliers, on top of the candlelight. Snoopy's image on it was already shapeless.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's mind felt like a rush of blood, and he felt a mysterious power emerge from his body.
In an instant, the "gold flakes" that would have been blackened by candlelight magically melted away.
The gold, which was originally unable to melt without the high temperature of thousands of degrees, melted little by little in front of Zhao Xu and then disappeared.
Burning money is also one of the characteristics of the ceremony.
But at this point, Zhao Xu also gritted his teeth and continued to recite the "mysterious mantra" he had just continued silently in his heart.
In an instant, the candle that could have lasted for more than half an hour burned out in an instant.
Zhao Xu also slowly fell behind him.
Fell into sleep. ���
"That's weird, what kind of signal does this come from?"
A man who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night was adjusting his shortwave radio when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound on a normally silent frequency band.
But he had just clearly seen the band of several thousand Hertz above, and when he was about to record it and listen carefully, the sound mysteriously disappeared.
"This should be the international band. The power is so strong, there is no noise at all, and it can even be received here."
The man thought silently in his heart, and after listening for a while without noticing anything, he put down the headphones again.
At this time, there was a faint, inaudible voice coming from the radio, as if calling someone's name.
