For most of Arthur's creatures, in high-level battles, a mage is far more terrifying than a monster at the same level.
What is more terrifying than the mage is a monster that can cast spells.
When the monster's body makes up for the static panel of the mage, who is in the worst echelon, the problem begins to become unsolvable.
Races like dragons that are born with the ability to bring warlock levels as their career levels increase, can simply work as a warlock and improve linearly.
A monster's data panel is certain, and you can target it if you know the information.
But a monster that can cast spells is unknown, and no one can guess what their real trump card is.
Going to fight monsters with all the buffs on your body, only to be hit by a five-ring "Backlash Vortex" or even a nine-ring "Great Disintegration". It's a hell of a feeling.
At this time, Zhao Xu also suddenly realized that he was facing such an embarrassing situation.
He is facing a "mage type" or "warlock type" activation cellar. While the opponent is immune to magic, he can also cast unpredictable spells on him!
This basically means that only state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps.
Originally, only Zhao Xu could release the "anti-demon field" and then use the "power of iron heart" to relieve his own suppression, a shameless method, but now he met someone even more perverted
Not to mention that it can be seen from the more than ten confinement techniques that were thrown at the same time in that round that this "activation cellar" is not an ordinary legendary monster at all.
Completely out of line.
At this moment, Zhao Xu was really glad that he had sent Zheng Xinyun and Lu Yu away out of caution, otherwise he would have been struck by lightning because of his pretense.
Starting cautiously, Zhao Xu slightly touched the "retreat emblem" he had placed previously.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you are currently in the eighth-level spell dimension lock area, and the retreat emblem cannot activate "advanced teleportation".]
The next second, his "Advanced Blinking Technique" that can span the two states of the material and spiritual worlds also failed immediately.
Actually, they are still being targeted one after another
Zhao Xu was secretly surprised. At this time, he continued to control the power of flight in his body and directly crossed a distance of more than thirty or forty meters.
The tree is moved to death, and the tree is moved to life.
Arthur has only a handful of beyond-visual-range spells.
The melee range is two to three meters, but for 99% of spells, a thousand meters away is enough to hide.
After hundreds of kilometers, it can be ignored 99% of the time.
But the bright red warning on the dynamic prompt bar on Zhao Xu's character card panel is still clear.
The eighth-ring "Dimension Lock" spell can create a shimmering emerald green barrier to prevent interdimensional travel.
Therefore, any spell that can enter the spirit world, such as any door, teleportation, even his initial spiritual transformation, and flash will be ineffective.
But this eight-ring spell has a radius of only 6 meters in essence. Even though it spanned such a long distance, it was still tightly covered, as solid as Wuzhishan.
It means that the body of this activation cellar is probably covered with this effect.
Modify the radius of spell at will
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu became more wary.
"It seems that you already understand how powerful I am?" The voice in the void smiled even more triumphantly, "Theoretically, even if a god enters my body, he will be punished by me."
"Otherwise, do you think that after Ernest left, most of the gods would die so easily? The gods are not stupid, they will fight for life and death regardless of anything."
This activation cellar seems to be back to chatty mode, and it seems that he has not been able to find anyone to talk to for thousands of years.
Now that Zhao Xu appeared, he explained to him on his own.
Sometimes, it’s hard to express how awesome you were without talking to someone.
"You mean? Ernest's secret treasure back then? It was essentially a trap, using the treasure to lure the gods into your body and then destroy them?" Zhao Xu immediately reacted and asked vigilantly.
He began to uncover the truth bit by bit!
Especially in the process of getting along with Antinoya, the other party never had a detailed conversation with him at all, let alone took him there.
"You are finally smart. If it weren't for Arthur's wealth, how could it be possible to induce the gods to leave the Kingdom of God in person?"
"After more and more gods suffered losses in later generations, everyone became smarter. They knew that this treasure house was basically a place where gods were slaughtered, so naturally they were no longer interested."
After listening, Zhao Xu felt that his heart was half cold.
When, under his true knowledge, he could still sense the aura of "god" released by the surrounding walls in order to prove it, the other half of him was also cold.
Because when the magic goddess Sisylvina appeared, he also felt the aura of this "true god".
In other words, this activation cellar has either really killed a god, so this kind of aura remains.
Either he is a true god himself.
Or it was a true seeing technique that was powerful enough to deceive him.
No matter which possibility it is, it means that he can only be beaten.
In particular, this "activation cellar" honestly told him these ancient inside stories, basically announcing that he had no chance to get out.
Does he still have a chance to be reborn a second time
Zhao Xu was considering this possibility even at this moment.
"Hey, are you running away? I'm telling you, I'm just asking you not to have too many illusions, so that you won't be able to escape after a long time, and you will be autistic because you can't stand it on the spot."
"But I'm telling you, I'm not trying to scare you into giving up. Young man, work harder. Let's continue to play this game of chase and escape."
"Don't worry, as long as you make me happy, I can let you choose a comfortable way to die. For example, I can open the portal and catch a few succubus ladies from the abyss, so that you can enjoy it and end the current situation. Die as a virgin."
After hearing these words, Zhao Xu almost had three horizontal lines on his forehead.
He finally knew where the dozen "soul-judging demons" he first encountered came from!
Even in the abyss, only in bloody battles would dozens of them gather in a narrow place at the same time.
To say that an ordinary ogre dungeon hides a dozen soul-slayer demons for guarding, isn't this a plane joke
Facing such a disgusting activation cellar, I really don’t know what kind of torture those gods suffered before they died.
But Zhao Xu immediately remembered that the other party mentioned a half-dragon female "Mio"
Did you look at the other person and leave
"Then I don't know what price you want me to pay, Your Excellency?"
People will always meet stronger people, and it is natural for them to be slapped in the face.
Zhao Xu didn't have anything he couldn't let go of. When faced with someone stronger than himself, he just sat down and cleared the way.
After all, no matter how they look at it, they all seem to have some connection, at least they all know Antinoya.
Back then, Zhao Xu called Sister Antinoya and successfully entered the lost legacy of that dynasty.
Now if he could get out alive, he wouldn't mind temporarily recognizing his mother.
"This?" The activation cellar did not expect that Zhao Xu suddenly became so fast, and he said happily on the spot: "This is very simple."
"When Ernest created me, he considered the possibility that you Arthur geniuses who have not yet become gods would find this treasure by accident."
"You are in your early twenties, a double elite mage and archival scholar, and you have advanced perverts such as the Spell Guardian and the Super Magic Shaper. Although you are not legendary, you are still considered to be a little genius, and you are someone who needs to be protected. Don’t pull weeds at will.”
"Let us go directly?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.
"It's a beautiful thought."
The activation cellar refused coldly, "According to his words, if you let you go easily, you will definitely not cherish it, and you might have to come back and try again in the future."
"Who makes geniuses always so confident?"
"But what?" Zhao Xu took the turn before the other party appeared.
The activation cellar was also a little angry and said calmly: "But I still leave a way for you."
"Originally, the mode is to slowly be teased by me and toss to death like a cat catching a mouse. This process may take a few days or a few years, depending on your fate."
"But you can choose the trial left by Ernest. Once you pass it, you can successfully escape and ascend to heaven, and you can also choose a treasure house collection."
"But once this trial starts, it will be extremely fast and violent. It cannot be stopped voluntarily, and there is a possibility of death at any time."
At this time, the activation cellar continued to regain its seductive tone, "So you can play a cat-and-mouse game with me first, and when you are about to be beaten to death by me, then switch to the normal mode, so that you will not lose money."
Zhao Xu asked calmly, "How did you choose the previous Miss Mio?"
"Oh? She didn't have a choice, I sent her out directly."
"Um?"
"I like this saint who walks on the earth. I find her pleasing to the eye and don't embarrass her, can't I?" Baoku sneered.
Yes, of course.
Zhao Xu could only grin slightly at this unprincipled treasure house.
Chaos, proper chaos.
"I choose the trial."
"Now?"
"right."
After he was full and full, he played cat and mouse in a "protracted game" with this evil-minded activation cellar!
And the difference between the two is almost like a dragon catching a chicken.
"Hmph, then I have to take back my evaluation of you. It's boring. It's really boring."
As the activation cellar was talking, Zhao Xu noticed that the surrounding buildings began to deform. The originally broken and irregular walls seemed to have been polished like fine decoration in an instant.
Slowly, the surrounding began to turn into a "square" secret room that was not spacious, the size of a master bedroom, and the floor became extremely smooth, paved with processed white slates.
The room was empty, except for two stone statues in front of the door. They were engraved with armor patterns and held a halberd in their hands, like terracotta warriors and horses.
"In view of your boring performance, I decided to raise the difficulty level to let you know that villains die from talking too much."
At this time, Zhao Xu was too lazy to argue with the other party about who was the real villain, and just asked coldly, "Then what are the criteria for passing the trial?"
"It's very simple. Kill the monsters in each room, and the door you pass through will be created. Until you come to the secret room where my body exists, you will be considered to have passed the trial."
No wonder.
It's just that even the "door" he passed through was temporarily created after he killed the monster.
That clearly leaves no way for him to take advantage of the loopholes.
Zhao Xu could give up silently on methods such as the fifth-ring "wall penetration" or the seventh-ring "phase gate".
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu also observed the two stone enemies in front of him.
Clay golem
Zhao Xu had encountered this kind of demon statue before in the Palace of Azhuo where the artifact was hidden, but he solved it easily at that time and left no impact at all. He just remembered that it was very weak.
As for the two stone statues now, they appear to be only medium-sized in size, not the super-large size of the golem.
Zhao Xu silently activated "Secret Vision", but could not see any trace of magic on the stone statue.
The other party was like a black hole of magic, eliminating all means of detection. He even suspected that the other party was blessed with a "spiritual barrier" spell.
Totally targeting.
While Zhao Xu was complaining, he quietly used "Hands of Fire" one by one, fixed at 1-6 points of fire damage.
Perfect test.
When the same spell actually rebounds later, this damage will not be a problem for him at all.
Facing a being who could kill gods, Zhao Xu would not foolishly think that the other party would simply place two stone monsters here and not lay some traps for him, so he would stand on his head and wash his hair.
However, when this magical flame fell on the stone statue, it left no trace at all, not even the slightest bit of blackening.
The next second, Zhao Xu cast another "magic missile".
Zhao Xu has reached the upper limit of this first-level spell at this time. At level 9, he can fly 5 magic missiles at the same time.
Two of them landed on the shells of the two stone statues in turn, and the other three flew towards the surrounding stone walls.
In an instant, the magical missiles that gathered power fell on the two stone statues and disappeared, instead of causing cracks.
It must be the devil's escape.
Zhao Xu nodded slightly, already understanding something.
But who is Zhao Xu? He stepped forward without even frowning, and casually drew out the long sword in his hand. Based on the minimum damage, he directly gave up all additional damage and stabbed it with the minimum strength.
As expected, Zhao Xu, who possesses the ghost attack technique, easily cut through the defense of the stone statue, and the sword blade penetrated more than three fingers on the spot.
When a mage encounters a golem and cannot bully it with spells, he can only change his mind.
Transform yourself into a melee monster and go up to fight melee.
Or, like him, perfect in melee combat.
However, the next second, Zhao Xu's face became stiff.
Because for the first time, he realized that he was half injured. He felt a stinging sensation in the same position as the stone statue, and blood flowed out at the same time!
It was as if he had stabbed himself with the sword just now!
After gently smoothing the bleeding wound on his abdomen with "minor treatment", Zhao Xu smiled.
He understood more or less.
The damage he caused to the stone statue was transferred to himself.
At the same time, his star cloak also automatically activated the effect of halving magic damage, so he only suffered half.
But because it was your own damage, you couldn't activate reflection to offset it.
It turned out that if he caused damage to the stone statue, he would be injured.
Interesting, really interesting.
Zhao Xu smiled.
