[PS: The end of the last chapter should be the nine-ring 'Soul Binding Technique', not the eight-ring 'Soul Binding Technique'.]
Each resurrection stone is a nine-ring "complete resurrection" that is automatically triggered.
It can be said that the resurrection stone can be regarded as the "strongest" resurrection method under the supernatural power of the gods to "kill and seize".
However, the prerequisite for its effect is that "the soul is willing to be resurrected."
Just like a sailboat that wants to float, it must first be able to enter the sea.
I saw the rogue who made a sneak attack after shouting, and was about to hand out the poison-extracting dagger in his hand during the sprint to use the special method he had just learned.
Almost most of the players present noticed that the finger bone staff held by Master Zhongxia emitted a "mysterious green light" inexplicably.
It spread out like smoke, and when it approached, it seemed like splashing ink, and it just enveloped the wanderer's whole body.
And the next second, all the shots started to go backwards.
The death energy that spewed out directly drew out a stream of light blue soul energy from the attacker's body, and then turned into a miniature tornado, slowly absorbed back into the emerald green gem at the top of the staff.
But no one noticed it.
The moment Zhongxia released the mysterious spell, the wanderer had already died quietly.
The Soul Binding Technique only removes the remaining soul from his body.
There is no need for any additional movements to use the staff. Zhao Xu's movements are essentially using his silent spellcasting routine to hide movements and sounds.
Finally, relying on the "Spell Distant Casting" expertise, he cast the three-ring contact spell "Vampire's Touch" on the wanderer from a distance of several meters.
Under the premise of maximum effectiveness, those 60 points of damage instantly killed the rogue, and also brought Zhao Xu nearly 30 points of temporary health.
"ah!"
"what happened?"
"Is it an instant death spell?"
"How could it be? One finger of death has seven rings."
"Looking at the special effects, it's very impressive, isn't it?"
"As expected of the number one player, one spell is so powerful."
"Maybe it's a low-level damage spell."
"Don't be stupid. Do you think this kind of formation might be a low-level battle?"
For a while, everyone was buzzing with comments.
But as long as they are not blind, everyone knows that the finger bone staff in Zhao Xu's hand is absolutely extraordinary.
But at this moment, no one has guessed it.
The wanderer did not go back to the Temple of Creation to be resurrected.
His soul was imprisoned in the gem at the top.
"Is that kid stupid? Why didn't he choose to be resurrected and make the body disappear?" At this time, the other wanderers who encouraged the wanderer to go up and find out the bottom first also looked at what was happening in front of them in shock.
The first player, Zhong Xia, did not obtain the artifact in the Palace of El Zhuo, and everyone only found out about it not long ago.
That's why they crouched for many days, and finally waited until the player was alone in midsummer.
For things like group fights, Zhong Xia didn't need to speak out, the group of instigators behind the scenes would take action at the appropriate time.
Zhao Xu gently picked up the legendary necromancy staff, blew the smoke and dust off the gem, and slowly walked to the body of the deceased.
"Soul Binding" is a nine-ring necromantic spell. It is a permanently effective spell.
The spell sucks out the soul of a newly deceased creature and imprisons it in a deep sapphire.
Once imprisoned, the soul cannot be resurrected through cloning, resurrection of the dead, reincarnation, resurrection, full resurrection, or even miracles and wishes.
Only by destroying the gem or dispelling its enchantment can the soul be released.
And the creature remains dead.
Suddenly, this group of wanderers stood up resolutely. The leader was a little short. He glared at Zhao Xu angrily, "Did you kill our companions?"
"According to the rules of our fraternity, blood for blood, tooth for tooth."
In order for Xian Kong to investigate Zhao Xu, they gave him their most sophisticated weapons and equipment, including a "poison dagger" with a jagged edge and worth more than 8,000 gold coins.
Who would have thought that the car would overturn in one encounter.
At this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile and ask, "Didn't we agree from the beginning that we would be responsible for life and death?"
In the already bustling Fountain Square, players who simply came to join in the fun and thought the incident was not big enough couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"That's right, that's right. You are responsible for your own life and death. One challenge with a resurrection stone is a good deal."
The leader of the wanderer's face froze, looking at the body that still hadn't disappeared at Zhao Xu's feet, he told his companions, "Go and resurrect the fallen man, and pass the body back."
"Boss, the cooling time is at least 20 minutes. Even if you died just now, it wouldn't be that fast." The companion on the side muttered.
"Idiot, then go offline and contact him. He may have forgotten to choose to resurrect directly, that idiot." The rogue player was obviously a little angry.
In the name of a duel, even if the equipment on the corpse is taken away, it will be regarded as trophies and cannot be retrieved.
The eight thousand gold coins of the magic weapon "Poison Dagger" is already worth four or five war horses. If it were gone, everyone would bleed from the heart.
"Is there no challenge left?"
Zhao Xu turned his head and looked at the crowds of people crowded around the fountain, just like the scene after the prosperity of Falling Star Town in the previous life.
Thanks to the locally produced silver mines, players now have all the basic equipment they need, and they are no longer limited to simple weapons such as maces, wooden clubs, and spears from the poverty era.
Basically, as long as the professional system has mastered the "military weapon" specialty feature, there are already many melee professional players carrying a two-handed giant sword worth 50 gold coins.
Some ranger players even carry a composite longbow with a starting price of 100 gold coins on their backs.
As for armor, unless it is a mage whose arcane spells will fail if the armor is worn, it will affect the casting action, or a druid who is naturally unable to wear metal armor.
Otherwise, in the category of light armor, thick cloth armor with level 1 armor defense of 5 gold coins and leather armor with level 2 armor defense of 10 gold coins have slowly become extinct.
Even for level 1 players, the inlaid leather armor with level 3 defense of 25 gold coins dominates.
Those players who are able to level 2 or 3 above wear a chain mail shirt with level 4 defense worth at least 100 gold coins.
Maybe the players didn't think about it that way, but as long as this group of well-equipped players are willing, they are already an elite force for the unarmed civilian farmers who only have sticks and hoes to support them.
After time travel, it was the joint defense team composed of these former players that saved many people on earth who had no fighting ability.
"If there is no challenger, then let's get out of the way." Zhao Xu said.
At this time, he said what he said, and even several players standing in front of him turned away unconsciously under the residual power.
Even the extremely domineering orc had to lower his head.
"superior!"
Suddenly, the wanderer who had just clamored for revenge on Zhao Xu shouted, "He said he could besieged, and we are seeking revenge."
In an instant, the remaining rogue players, who were training together in the Thieves Guild and were killing and looting together, immediately reacted and rushed towards Zhao Xu with their thin swords drawn.
The other two took out the fine short bows in their hands, straightened them into a half-moon shape, and shot towards Zhao Xu.
"If we blow him up, he must have weapons and equipment worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. We will be rich in an instant."
Realizing that the Zhongxia player's spell slots had not been consumed first, the leader of the rogue players also shouted at the opportunity, trying to muddy the waters.
"That's right, no matter how many big bosses you fight, you still don't have this kind of explosion rate!"
At the same moment, a half-orc warrior in the corner also shouted, carrying the giant ax in his hand to strike at Zhao Xu.
Zhang Qi, who was behind him, didn't expect that the "boss" would suddenly stir up emotions in the scene.
The Zhongxia in front of him was no longer the first player, but looked like a "treasure box" covered with gold foil and exuding the luster of wealth.
He also hurriedly called to his classmates, "Let's stop them together."
Zhao Xu, who was in the center of the whirlpool, gently waved his hand towards Zhang Qi and others behind him to stop their actions.
Then the legendary necromancy staff in his hand was switched to a "metamagic instant staff" through the "storage gloves".
"Advanced Mirror Imagery [Long-lasting spell]."
Zhao Xu gently slid the staff in his hand, and with the rapid sound of a spell, he instantly cast this fourth-ring spell, which was an evolved version of the second-ring mirror shadow spell.
Eight mirror images exactly like him appeared around Zhao Xu in an instant.
At the same time, these mirror images all performed exactly the same actions as him, and even crossed paths with him from time to time, making it impossible to tell who was the real body.
Moreover, the advanced mirror image technique of the fourth ring can generate a new mirror image every round compared to the second ring version.
This is also an "intuitive spell" that can be released first and can be released smoothly even if it is attacked.
In an instant, the players who tried to attack Zhao Xu were dazzled.
No matter how they wield their weapons, they can only find one target to attack.
"Nine, what should we do?" The players who came up immediately discovered the problem.
"It's a second-level mirror shadow spell. Don't be afraid. Let's all do it together. These illusions will be shattered in one blow." A player who knew this spell shouted.
Players like them who came up and tried to steal the chicken knew it very well.
If they want to fish in troubled waters, they need to grab time even more than in midsummer. As long as they delay for a while longer and wait for the crowds and even patrols to come over, order will come here again.
After hearing this, a ranger immediately let go of the bowstring in his hand and shot at an unknown target at will.
"Bang." There was an unusual sound, and among the mirrors, the "Zhongxia" who was hit by an arrow but bounced it away seemed to be unscathed.
"It's him, he's the real body!" The people who reacted quickly were overjoyed.
But another arrow shot at the same time also landed on another "Zhongxia", and it reacted quickly and dodged away.
"What the hell?"
"Two entities?"
Seeing the others hesitate, the leader of the rogue players also shouted, "Don't be stupid, the mirror image also has a defense level, but it is very rubbish, almost the same as a civilian."
"So don't worry about who is real and who is fake, let's do it together in seconds. I think he can also cast a few mirror spells."
Zhao Xu smiled silently at this.
The mirror image's defense is based on level 10, plus body size adjustment and agility adjustment.
Zhao Xu said that his agility had reached 18 points, rather than the average mage's agility attribute of 12 points.
His "mirror image" is naturally more resistant to attack.
After a violent barbarian finally chopped off a mirror image, he suddenly discovered that a "mirror image" had been regenerated on the site.
The regenerated mirror image means that when they attack these nine midsummers, they will always have only a one-ninth chance of hitting.
"how come?"]
"Isn't this too perverted? Still need to reset?" This scene made these adventurers who had finally cut off a mirror image make a frustrated sound.
"No? Then it's my turn?"
At this time, nine Zhongxia in robes spoke up. They opened and closed their mouths together, seemingly mechanical but also a bit weird, which further deepened the pressure on everyone's hearts.
"I'll go, it'll be seconds." Zhang Qi also sighed at this time, "With this spell, the mage is not afraid of being killed by stray arrows, and he still has the ability to save his life."
Looking at Zhao Xu's rhetorical question, a player suddenly reacted and shouted: "I have a solution. Just close your eyes and pretend he is invisible. We will attack blindly."
"good!"
Upon hearing this statement, the group of players involved in the siege immediately became overjoyed and realized that this was also a solution.
They just thought that Zhao Xu was an invisible creature, so it would be meaningless for the other party to have a hundred mirror images.
"So confident." Cui Lu shook her head, "This way Zhong Xia is completely hidden from them, which means the attack has only a 50% success rate."
"One-half is better than one-ninth." Squad leader Fang Xiyue nodded. "The mirror image technique that could have been cracked has made up for the battery life after the mirror image can be generated. But in fact, as long as it is enough Fast, if the image recovery speed can’t keep up, it can be cracked, but these people panicked.”
"The duration of the mirror image is a round-level spell. According to Mr. Zhongxia's spellcasting level, in fact, if it takes a few more rounds, those mirror images will disappear." Feng Ge looked at it and added.
"Well, so basically just drag it on." Cui Lu also looked worriedly at what was happening in the field.
At this time, no one knew that Zhao Xu used the "spell lasting" specialty. Even if these people spend a day here, these mirror images will not disappear.
And Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing when he saw everyone closing their eyes and completely treating him as an invisible creature.
There are too many chicken thief players now. They have suffered invisible losses. Even if they don't have a second-ring abnormal spell like "Flash Dust", they basically bring flour with them and scatter it when something goes wrong.
Zhao Xu, on the other hand, didn't need to use anything to make these people fall into complete blindness.
But, is it really that easy to hit him
Immediately, Zhao Xu continued to slide the scepter in his hand, stirring up the mysterious energy in the air, and the torrent of arcane magic immediately materialized.
"Flash."
The next second, Zhao Xu's body began to switch between the main material plane and the etheric plane.
"Oh my god! It's flash!"
"How can we fight this?"
At this moment, everyone who opened their eyes after being exclaimed by the screams just watched helplessly as Zhong Xia on the opposite side flashed in and out of the real world very quickly and disorderly.
Even his mirror image also disappeared and reappeared.
This means that when they launch a physical attack on Zhao Xu, the opponent may switch to the spirit world.
Therefore, under the original blindness penalty of 50% of missing attacks, you have to bear the 50% miss probability caused by flash.
25%!
This is the cruel probability of this group of people hitting Zhao Xu in front of them.
This has not yet reached the defense settlement and damage reduction settlement when successfully attacking Zhao Xu.
Everyone who was still ready to move now stopped.
Zhao Xu said with a hint of smile, "So, it's my turn now?"
"We surrender!" One of the players shouted hurriedly. At this moment, he only had the last resurrection stone left, and he did not want to cancel the entire character because of this.
"Yes, yes, you can't kill us in public, the guards won't let you go." Another halfling poet said something he didn't quite believe.
"If you release the 'Fireball Technique', other innocent players or civilians will definitely be harmed."
In just a few rounds, Mr. Zhongxia was at ease, as if he was ready to be attacked by them.
Thinking of the power of the third-ring mage's fireball spell, those at levels three and four naturally felt that they could survive it, but players at level one and level two felt somewhat panicked.
"Ah."
Zhao Xu smiled at the more than 20 enemies who had just attacked, "The magician kills people with more than just fireball skills."
Then he mercilessly waved the super magic instant scepter in his hand again.
"The ultimate effect of the spell: mass oppression and suffocation."
[Adventurer xx, you are subject to the fourth-level spell "Group Suffocation", you are the target of "Suffocation", you suffer 60 points of non-fatal damage (10D6), and you fall into a coma.]
In an instant.
All the players who had just besieged Zhao Xu suffered non-fatal injuries, and they all turned into corpses and fell down on the spot.
This caused countless onlookers to scream in horror.
The time-travel plot begins during the National Day holiday.
