No sneak attack when meeting, no surprise attack in the middle, but at the end, after explaining all the causes and consequences, you still have to explain clearly before taking action
Even at this moment, Zhao Xu had thousands of thoughts running through his mind, wondering whether the other party was suffering from a severe mental degeneration.
After improving his intelligence, the biggest impact on him is that his thinking becomes faster and more leisurely every time.
At the critical moment, you can still keep calm and understand the ins and outs of everything.
Thinking of the weirdness of this huge stone fortress, Zhao Xu became even more suspicious. This "move" was part of the "ritual" that the other party had to complete.
Directly pointing to the "evil god" who needs to be sacrificed to please.
Zhao Xu's eyes were deeply focused on the opponent's "staff". The tip was made of fluorescent gems, and the straight body of the staff could not even see the traces of engraving, just like a pure natural wooden stick.
However, he immediately recognized that it was a "powerful staff".
As long as a few rounds are consumed, ten kinds of spells can be cast, ranging from magic missiles, debilitating rays, to monster immobilization (fifth level), spell invalidation barrier (sixth level), etc., which can greatly expand the mage's spell preparation range.
The body of the staff has erupted with arcane light, indicating that the tainted mage's first move was to activate the spell in the powerful staff
This made Zhao Xu pay more attention to his eyes, scanning the other person's body in cycles.
This deformed man may have been protected by the evil god named "Cthulhu", which directly blocked the detection power of his "secret vision", making it impossible to tell the specific details.
Fortunately, Zhao Xu had carefully looked at it at first, and found that the other party had no more than three or four magic items. The staff in his hand, worth 210,000 gold coins, was the most valuable, worth all the others.
But as his thoughts progressed, the light in the staff did not disappear. Instead, it became brighter and closer to taking shape.
In the blink of an eye, the spell will be released.
At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a deep breath and wave the "Magic Storage Ring" on his finger, activating the most powerful eight-ring technique!
"Higher Swift Explosion!"
Intuitive action!
It was clear that Zhao Xu would be one step slower when casting a spell, falling behind the other party's completion of casting, but at this second he relied on this spell with only verbal elements to seize the opportunity!
At the same time, the magic pet "Dream" of the "Star Cloak" on his shoulder also intuitively used the power "Prayer" to release "Treat Minor Injuries" for him, which could only restore 1 HP in the previous shot, thereby activating "Medical Knowledge" The spell's "restorative stun" effect.
This set of actions that usually have become instinctive, this time in a dangerous situation, Zhao Xu also re-examined it.
It has to be said that until he completely released the spell without being interrupted by the other party's intuitive spell, or encountering a special backlash from this space, the big stone in Zhao Xu's heart slowly let go of half of it.
A mage who doesn't know his true identity emits a threat that is even more terrifying than a nightmare.
But at this moment, Zhao Xu, who had obtained a spell that lasted for 6 seconds and could support a "standard movement" and a "quick" spell for a total of two spells, knew that his real problem had only arrived now.
The tainted scholar can enjoy the same "terrible" reputation as the dossier, and his mentor Antinoya also gave a "good" evaluation.
Naturally, he has his own unique domineering qualities.
As an arcane advancer, the defiler can increase the arcane level at every level, which is already the greatest achievement.
Not to mention, it has professional abilities at every level.
However, this advancement is the same as Zhao Xu's "Super Magic Shaper". At level 1, he has mastered the strongest and most domineering ability in the entire advancement.
Zhao Xu's Super Magic Sculpture is a "super magic control" of super magic at the expense of temporary attribute damage.
The defiled scholar is a "defiled spellcasting" that can drastically increase the difficulty of spell saving throws.
Their spells carry the original power of pollution, making it even more difficult to save!
Generally, spellcasters need to use key attributes to determine the difficulty of a spell's saving throw.
For example, Zhao Xu's mage depends on intelligence, while priest and dossier depend on perception.
The spell's saving throw difficulty is 10 + level + key attribute modifier.
Based on Zhao Xu's current intelligence of 29 (+9), even if he casts a five-ring arcane spell, the difficulty of the saving throw is only level 24.
Therefore, when Zhao Xu learned the "Spell Upgrade" expertise, it was just a matter of working on the "number of rings".
Because simply improving attributes is too difficult.
Even level 20 Zhao Xu, compared to the current level 10 Zhao Xu, only has three levels of attribute point rewards: 12/16/20, which increases his 29 intelligence to 32 intelligence.
But the difficulty of a corrupted scholar's saving throw does not depend on intelligence, but on half the corruption value.
As for a caster with 50+corruption value, he is equivalent to 25 intelligence adjustments, which is at least 60+intelligence.
The difficulty of saving a five-ring spell is 10+5+25=level 40.
If Zhao Xu's current physique is 29, and his "corruption value" is controlled at a safe 80+, he will still be 30 points away from death.
Then the difficulty of his fifth-level spell saving throw is level 55!
Not to mention, the additional spells of the defiled scholar will now depend on 10 + corruption value, rather than intelligence.
In terms of determining additional spells, even the most common 40+corruption value is equivalent to a mage with 50 intelligence.
At that stage, the rewarded spell slots were even more than the spell slots of the profession itself!
As long as it is level 1, as long as it has a corruption value and corruption value of 50+, it is enough to increase the strength of the entire mage to the extreme.
From that moment on, in the entire spell system, countless spells such as "Finger of Death" that were difficult to gain popularity due to their low immunity difficulty began to emerge.
Even Zhao Xu's "Spell Guardian" can only ignore spell resistance, and the immunity is still a big hurdle to overcome.
In essence, defiling spells can create dozens of levels of "immunity difficulty", which is the true meaning of turning ordinary spells into treasures.
And the matching factor of demand is extremely low!
Even Zhao Xu's super-magic control was supported by enough "super-magic expertise", especially the key "spell durability" and "spell twins", which made him lawless.
The "defiling spell" of the defilable scholar only needs to be paired with spells. Even a mage from a rural background can still create miracles with this ability!
Even a pollution scholar has to consider only suppressing his own pollution value to avoid reaching the upper limit too quickly.
At the same time, even-numbered levels of "Defiler" can also obtain "secret" abilities. One of the secret abilities is - blood super magic.
It is a weaker version of Zhao Xu's "Super Demon Control". There is no need to use a higher level to super demon.
The difference is that only one metamagic feat can be applied, and then it will only cause physical damage at a fixed point, and it cannot be enhanced beyond the highest level spell that can be cast.
But even if it is weakened so much, it is still an uncompromising "powerful ability".
After taking a full second to review the power of the tainted scholars, Zhao Xu became more vigilant from the bottom of his heart.
This means that the spellcaster in front of you has the possibility of "killing with one hit"!
Even if it is only one ring of colorful jets, if the opponent uses it, it may force Zhao Xu to fail the saving throw and shock him for a round!
No matter how weak the spell is, in the hands of this defiled scholar, it is the most powerful and terrifying means.
In particular, the defiler's own spells are regarded as "evil" element spells, so it is easier to rely on special means to increase the caster's level and break through spell resistance.
For example, Zhao Xu's "Skull Holy Emblem" increases the caster level of necromantic spells by 1, improving the effect of his "Realm of Decline and Death".
Take a deep breath!
Even though Zhao Xu's "Advanced Swift Burst" could extremely delay time, Zhao Xu still clearly noticed that the brightness of the powerful staff in the opponent's hand increased by several points.
If he doesn't take action, this "round" time may be wasted in thinking.
Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and glanced at the clear exemption data on the character card panel.
Toughness: Level 38 (9 occupations + 8 constitution + 5 resistance + 5 morale + 1 performance + 10 luck)
Reflex: Level 33 (3 professions + 8 agility + 5 resistance + 5 morale + 1 performance + 10 luck + 1 quick acceleration)
Will: Level 38 (13 professions + 4 perception + 5 resistance + 5 morale + 1 performance + 10 luck)
(Morale: One Ring of Faith, Resistance: Great Sage's Vestments, Performance: Ioin Stone, Luck: Ruin Explorer's Fortune)
Even those monsters that are close to the legendary level are not as good as Zhao Xu's current immunity level!
But facing the tainted scholar's spell with a level 50 or 60 immunity difficulty, such a legendary level immunity, Zhao Xu still didn't have the slightest confidence!
You must know that for a level 20 mage, the saving throws from his profession are only level 6 toughness, level 6 reflection, and level 12 will.
And Zhao Xu relies on the dual elites, the benefits of both sides, and the reason for frequent part-time jobs, and the basic quality is no less than that of a level 20 mage!
attack
Shou
The weights at both ends of the scale kept swirling in Zhao Xu's mind, asking him what strategy he should adopt when facing such a terrifying mage.
There is no doubt that at this time, he and the tainted scholar on the opposite side have the possibility of killing each other with one strike.
But it is inevitable that the opponent has some trump cards. If you fail to make the first move, you will easily fall into passivity.
wrong!
In an instant, Zhao Xu's mind suddenly became clear, and he realized that the reputation of being a tainted scholar had put too much pressure on him!
Defiled spellcasting, this professional ability cannot cast spells on the staff.
No!
Zhao Xu immediately denied this possibility.
At this time, the opponent has not finished casting the spell. Unless he prepares movements to counterattack and uses static braking, there is no way to eliminate the possibility that the opponent's staff is just a deception!
In particular, this deformed mage already knew that he knew the details of the tainted scholar, and he probably took this into account and deliberately pretended to be a staff to cast spells.
In the end, Zhao Xu relaxed his vigilance and thought that the opponent did not have the effect of "contamination casting", so he took advantage of the opportunity and used attack spells first, resulting in being counterattacked and died.
At this moment, Zhao Xu's mind was like countless rings intertwining with each other, each considering the possibility of the other.
Whatever!
In the end, the idea of not gambling your life won out!
"Have mercy on the martyrs!"
As Zhao Xu shouted and made gestures with his hands, the power of the sacred creed he called for fell from the dome of the sky and concentrated on his whole body!
A brilliant aura representing supreme glory immediately enveloped the entire body, instilling in him a firm belief to fight against the things that feared him.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you cast the four-ring paladin magic "Martyr's Mercy". In the next 33 minutes, you get -
Immune to bruising, charm, and coercion effects, and suppresses any pain-causing effects.
Immune to any effects of dizziness, exhaustion, fatigue, nausea, nausea, stupor, and stunning.]
Coupled with the aging, disease, dissociation and toxin effects that his chosen ability is immune to, there are basically a lot of negative effects that he is immune to.
At this time, the one round brought by "Advanced Swiftness Burst" has only gone through half of the time, and he still has a chance to cast a "Swift Action"!
Zhao Xu still did not hesitate and waved the "Higher Super Magic Instant Scepter" in his hand -
Instantly cast "anti-death barrier"!
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you cast the four-ring magic "Death-proof Barrier". For the next 33 minutes, you will be immune to all death spells, magical death effects, energy absorption and other negative energy effects.]
Immunity is the most powerful defense.
Even Zhao Xu didn't want to compete with the opponent's spell resistance and brittle immunity.
He immediately made up for his last shortcoming!
Basically, most of the negative buffs were completely filled by Zhao Xu at this moment.
The other party even has to give it a try to find out what he is not immune to.
As the positive energy aura of the anti-death barrier enveloped Zhao Xu's body, the extra time brought by the advanced swift burst was also burned up at this moment.
I saw the staff in the hand of the tainted scholar on the opposite side shining brightly!
It really is the spell hidden in the mighty staff!
"Spell invalidation barrier!"
A fixed magic sphere emitting a faint light directly enveloped the deformed man opposite.
This six-ring arcane spell can block all spells from one to four rings!
If Zhao Xu had not reached the fifth ring, he would have had a huge headache when he saw this spell, because he could suppress all the effects of the fourth ring and below.
It is a common method used by high-level mages to bully low-level mages.
When Zhao Xu faced the arcane turret with infinite bombardment, he relied on the secondary spell invalidation barrier in the protective staff to resist it!
But who would have thought that the defiled scholar with powerful magic attacks in front of him would also choose to defend first.
In this way, if Zhao Xu wanted to target the opponent, he could only use the countless five-ring spells.
A mage who has just reached level 10 can theoretically only have two or three fifth-level spells.
Zhao Xu was timid, but the other party was equally unfazed.
Seeing this scene, he could only shake his head and chuckle that he was really wrong.
A mage who can endure so many concurrent symptoms of corruption in his body in this huge stone fortress must have such a strong desire to survive! Why are you willing to risk your life with him so rashly
Just like Zhao Xu, who has countless trump cards, he will not go all in with a strange mage at every turn.
At this time, Zhao Xu also recovered the chaotic spell fluctuations in his body, and continued to raise his scepter high, pointing at the opponent from a distance.
The evil fog shrouding the opponent made it difficult for him to see clearly, otherwise he wouldn't have had such a headache in the initial attack.
In this case, let’s cast stones first and ask for directions.
Spell twins, retarded spell!
