The cloud spells of the conjuration (creation) system have always been the key system spells used by mages to escape and exert group negative effects.
From the first-level "Hidden Mist", the second-level "Cloud and Mist", the third-level "Stinky Cloud" to the current fifth-level "Dead Cloud".
As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow-green cloud emerged from Zhao Xu's hand. These poisonous mist, which was heavier than air, suddenly drifted towards the target point he chose.
Immediately afterwards, his palm was like a restaurant chimney, spitting out one after another violently towards the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the commander of the Orc Empire, who was gathering and training his soldiers here, noticed that a thick yellow-green fog with a height radius of more than six meters suddenly appeared above his head, like thick snot from a cold.
"Poisonous! Get out of the way!" the orc leader shouted.
At the same time, the orc shaman on the side also looked dull, as if he couldn't understand why the thick fog that looked like a "disease" descended from the sky.
It's just that no matter how fast they go, they can't catch up with the "cloud of death" that comes with the strong wind.
This cloud of mist fell on everyone's head like a downpour in the blink of an eye.
"Ah!" Suddenly a tall orc covered his mouth, and the next moment he pinched his throat tightly.
At this moment, it was difficult for him to understand why the mere contact with his skin was so painful even though he had not inhaled it.
Zhao Xu was like pouring a ball of hot oil in the air onto the orcs below, causing countless wails and screams to come and go.
A weak orc soldier who was just outside the coverage area of the hundreds of flat clouds of death fell to the ground on the spot and fell into a daze when he saw the tragic death happening one meter away.
The surrounding orcs suddenly cried out: "It's a plague, it's a death cloud on Mount Talama."
Other orcs may not know what the "Death Cloud Technique" in front of them is.
But in the orc kingdom, the death plague on Mount Talama is famous, and no matter how powerful the orc warrior comes into contact, he will surely die.
Due to the limited range of the "Death Cloud Technique", Zhao Xu chose to attack the core area of the orc regiment below, which was also where the subordinate centurions and officers gathered before the team set off.
Immediately, the orcs who were not hit by the attack howled in terror and fled in all directions.
No matter how strict military law control is, it can't stop the fear caused by unexplained death.
Zhao Xu, who was floating in the sky, just looked at the tragic situation below.
Death Cloud is one of the few quick spells that can kill monsters without any hesitation. It does not pass spell resistance.
Targets with 1-3 HD (hit dice) are killed on the spot regardless of saving throws.
Those with 4-6 HD make a Fortitude check to test their own physical fitness. If you fail, you will die instantly. If you survive successfully, you will also suffer 1-4 points of physical damage. If you don't leave quickly, you will continue to suffer physical damage in each subsequent round.
In other words, if you pass with 7 HD and above, you will be fine, and if you fail, you will suffer physical damage.
So as long as Zhao Xu throws this spell at players currently generally below level 7, it will indeed be an unbridled killing feast.
For low-level players, only those who are immune to the poison can survive this spell.
This is also the power of a five-ring mage.
Even if they don't have Zhao Xu's "extremely effective spells", "spell twins", and "super magic control" abilities, they can't pile up extreme damage.
But when advanced spells like the fifth ring come, you can feel proud.
Zhao Xu looked at the orcs fleeing in all directions, but he didn't feel any compassion in his heart.
Starting from when these orcs wore tattered armor and carried blood-stained spears, they had to accept the fate of being killed while traveling for killing.
Anyone who kills will be killed, including him.
"Supernatural Spellcasting—War Spell: Divine Storm."
"Super-magic control: extremely effective spells, twin spells."
The next moment, Zhao Xu activated his fourth-level spell slot, and under the influence of "uncanny foresight" compressed the war spell that originally required one minute of casting time into "one round of time."
Holy Storm was originally an ordinary-looking three-ring magic that summoned the power of the good camp to drop heavy rain in a column with a radius of six meters and a height of six meters.
Rain presents a soft and gentle power, but it can suppress listening, detection and even long-range attacks to level 4 or above.
More importantly, it can cause 2-12 (2D6) damage to evil creatures, double the damage to evil alien creatures.
The scope of this spell is similar to that of Death Cloud. What Zhao Xu likes is its ability to attack "evil creatures" at a fixed point.
So he immediately found the "war spell version" of this spell.
At the same time, it requires an additional 1,500 gold coins and 10 bottles of holy water worth 25 gold coins.
War magic is essentially the art of burning money.
But for Zhao Xu, who has "supernatural magic", this is not a problem.
"Holy Storm" also uses the war version, and its radius has been changed from the original 6 meters to a full 30 meters. The area of effect instantly expanded by a full 25 times, reaching nearly 3,000 square meters.
The orc soldiers below who had been fleeing because of the "Death Cloud Technique" suddenly saw the nectar falling from the sky. They originally thought it was a gift from the orc God of War to disperse the death cloud, but they suddenly discovered it.
When these raindrops fall on the body, there is no initial feeling of moisture, but instead, it is extremely painful.
Like a small needle of cow hair, it keeps piercing into the flesh.
One after another, the fleeing orc soldiers were all covered by this extremely broad spell "Holy Storm".
The orc soldiers were like cabbages wilted by frost, falling down one by one and never getting up again.
A Rain of Kindness with 2-12 points of damage, after superimposing specialties, becomes a Rain of Death with 24 points of full damage.
These orc warriors, who were only one or two levels of warriors and at the bottom of the chain, died one after another in an instant.
Even if the ones among them are stronger, as long as they don't escape the area of effect in time, when the second round of rain falls, they will be dealt a full 24 points of full damage.
In the bloody lumberyard below, merciless raindrops fell, and the disappearance of life was like dominoes toppling, unstoppable.
At this time, Zhao Xu was soaring in the sky. After his potential point recovered the number of supernatural spells, he fired a second "Holy Storm" at the mouth of the gorge in the direction of escape.
In the end, the green grassland below where midsummer was about to arrive was filled with corpses.
And the wolf smoke lit by these orc apostles just now was extinguished by this rain of kindness.
Once in the twilight forest, Zhao Xu relied on a series of spellcasting methods to annihilate hundreds of adventurers who tried to ambush.
But now that he had just reached level 9, he instantly annihilated an army of thousands of orcs who had at least level 1 warrior level.
Even if these people line up and come to die one by one and let him chop them to death with a heavy axe, most people will lose their strength after hacking dozens of them.
An army of thousands of orcs can even destroy an ordinary town on the spot if the player does not take action.
But now, Zhao Xu killed them all with just a few spells.
Even by the time he regained his composure, his potential points had already restored all the spell slots and professional abilities he had just consumed.
It's like Zhao Xu just picked up a basin of hot water and made an ant's nest.
"No wonder the gods have a lofty mentality."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh.
Are ordinary people nothing more than ants to gods
Beings that can be wiped out with just a raise of their hands cannot arouse people's awe no matter what.
He completed the killing easily, but no matter how calm he was, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement again.
It's as if he is the master of life.
With this thought, Zhao Xu continued to open this time's "mission book" and sent a "message technique" to the mission interface person of the Final Spell Guard Organization.
"SMS" is a fourth-level magic spell for priests and fifth-level wizards. Only Zhao Xu would be so wasteful and use spell feedback directly.
In an instant, another reply came from the other side. This was also the effect of the communication technique, as long as the text did not exceed 25 characters.
After scanning the message he just received, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little confused.
It's actually "kill them all".
The content of the text message asked him to directly eliminate the tribes near these orc armies on the spot.
Most people naturally followed the instructions of the mission and continued to carry out the tasks.
As long as Zhao Xu completes this "clearance task", it is equivalent to completing this year's performance.
But Zhao Xu is not an ordinary person. He can just clean up an army of orcs, but it can easily rise to the level of genocide. He is still somewhat suspicious.
Immediately, Zhao Xu cast the five-ring arcane spell "Alien Detection" that originally took 10 minutes to cast.
This spell allows his "mind" to be transported to real alien planes, such as the elemental interface, the positive and negative energy interface, the astral world, and the outer interface.
Then get the messages and advice given by the gods from other worlds.
The farther the mind is transmitted, the more likely it is to obtain accurate information, but the risk and duration of temporary damage to intelligence and charm during the transmission process are also higher.
Zhao Xu chose the top choice of "outer interface: high-level gods".
According to the agreement, the probability of him getting a true answer is more than 88%.
However, the risk is also the greatest. Once the saving throw fails, the intelligence and charm will drop to 8 points, which will last for five full weeks.
And the answers are mostly simple answers such as "yes", "no", "maybe", and "about".
But Zhao Xu is different.
He directly connected to the plane of "Goddess of Magic" Sisylvina.
He went to the Kingdom of God and had his own private VIP line.
After a while.
Only then did Zhao Xu recover physically and mentally from the alien world.
With an annoyed expression, he looked at the indistinguishable location of the orc court tent in the distance, and couldn't help but shake his head.
It turned out that the orc tribe in front attacked a business trip passing by for trade, and it happened that a core mage of Mystra was arranged for a trial to lurk among them.
Later, the mage was beheaded on the spot, and a goddess priest from Tongquxing also died tragically and was even insulted.
"What a sin."
Zhao Xu commented.
He immediately flew towards his destination, bringing new death there. ���
Deep in a dark alley.
Most of the hotels on the street have been closed. Only a tavern with three pale lanterns hanging in the deepest part is still open.
At this time, a wanderer covered in black night clothes quietly walked into the tavern and glanced ahead.
At this time, the bartender on the bar was wiping the utensils in his hands.
The wanderer lowered his voice and asked, "Has anyone come here recently to claim the reward?"
"What reward?" The bartender's busy hands suddenly stopped, and his sharp eyes looked at the wanderer who came to inquire.
At this time, in the tavern, many of the drunken guests who were originally lying on the bar raised their heads after hearing these words and scanned the back of the wandering man, like sharks smelling the smell of blood.
"It's the 'Basaru' tribe in the mountains opposite." The wanderer said cautiously.
"No way." The bartender shook his head, "That's a medium-sized tribe with more than a thousand adult soldiers. Although the 'Hoyle' family is wealthy, they don't want to think of how many people they can muster to cross the ice mountains and conquer the other side. The orc tribe."
"And the high-level mage's spell range is also limited, and he can only repel them head-on. It is simply difficult to annihilate them all."
"I don't think their family's hatred can be resolved so quickly." The bartender analyzed it using his many years of experience.
"No." Suddenly the wanderer raised the decibel level, causing the customer who was sleeping to wake up and was about to curse.
"I just received espionage information from the other side."
As he spoke, the wanderer said in an extremely horrified tone: "In less than half a day, the corpses of thousands of orc soldiers were lying all over the grassland of the bloody lumber camp."
"The tribe not far away was also in flames. The orcs in the entire tribe were burned alive inside, and no one managed to escape."
"It is said that the priest of the orc clan, the orc god of war, almost lost his legs when he approached the tribal cemetery that was burned to ashes. The strong aura of death in it even scared an evil priest who can scold the undead."
After hearing what the other party said, the bartender who was responsible for contacting the underground mission couldn't help but swallow his saliva, showing an expression of disbelief, even though he was used to seeing strong winds and waves.
"Dong dong."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, startling everyone who was in a state of shock.
The bartender who suddenly came over, a little ashamed of his fear just now, immediately yelled at the door: "Do you understand the rules? If you have anything to do, just come in."
"Feel sorry."
At this time, a mysterious man slowly walked in outside the door. He was covered in a cloak and his appearance was shrouded in a black veil.
What's a little strange is that the man's body is constantly dripping with drops of water, which is completely different from the clear night sky in Oru City.
"I heard that after completing the mission, you can collect the previously delivered bounty here." The man said in a calm tone, without any anxiety.
When he heard that he was here to receive the mission reward, the bartender's expression softened and he said, "Bring me the mission certificate."
"Huh? They only issued me this certificate and said that's it."
The bartender suddenly felt contemptuous. He had seen many little thieves who just filled out a false certificate and pretended to claim the mission reward.
I just don’t know how many punches this man in front of me can take
The bartender thought so, took the note incidentally, and then froze.
[Secret Sword Alliance:
Master (codename: Lone Star) has completed the mission of annihilating the 'Basalu' orc tribe. Please fulfill the reward for the Hoyle family mission.
Proven by: Northern Alliance Branch of the Mages Association]
Underneath the letter is the association's seal, which no one dares to forge.
The red mud shines right through the paper.
"Is it okay? If that doesn't work, I can take you and teleport you over hundreds of kilometers now to have a look."
"But we have to hurry up, they will take care of us if we delay it any longer."
"And I'm in a hurry." The mysterious man grinned, showing his bright and clean teeth.
