The Truth of Magic

Chapter 86: Cast a curse

Views:

Demogorgon

The entire team looked confused when they heard the name, although everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they first heard the name.

But no one has the slightest impression of this name.

Which mysterious figure is this or the evil god believed in by a new sect

"The search failed, maybe there is no such person? It's just some meaningless words." The poet Frog whispered. He had just taken turns using "anecdotal knowledge" and knowledge skills.

Zhao Xu frowned, and the result of his test was the same.

He had never heard of this name even during the Demon Sealing Battle in his previous life.

However, when he read about magic in the Floating City, he paid special attention to demons and devils.

He had seen the name "Demogorgon" - Lord of the Abyss, Lord of Demons.

At that time, he asked Antinoya, but she mocked him and said that he was just a schizophrenic two-headed baboon.

But ridicule was mockery, and Antinoya still gave him a few words about Demogorgon's abilities and characteristics.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu could only take a deep breath.

Demogorgon has believers in Arthur's main material plane, and even believers have magical powers, but their power comes from the abyss.

The abyss is inhabited by gods from some evil camps. According to Antinoya, the demon lord "Demogorgon" can also be regarded as a low-level divine power of the abyss on the earth, but powerful divine power may not be able to do it in the home of the abyss. Just past Demogorgon.

However, Antinoya was very confident at the time. If Demogorgon dared to set foot on the main material plane, she would kill him as many times as he came.

As for why he could come one more time after death, Zhao Xu didn't ask in detail.

If this is the case, maybe their team will be noticed just now when you read the name "Demogorgon" leisurely.

It's similar to how a "mysterious person" in a children's fantasy book will be known to the other party.

Zhao Xu was not worried that Demogorgon would get bored and recruit the secret sect hidden in Arthur to surround them. He was worried that there might be some back-up plan in this mine and even in the following dungeon.

With attention, perhaps these back-up moves will take effect.

At this time, after seeing nothing unusual around them, the team also walked forward to observe the altar.

"It's the evil emblem." Youyou said, looking at the pattern of a forked tail on the altar table.

After hearing this, everyone's worries, which had just been relieved, started to rise again.

It's okay if it involves evil gods. After all, it's still a transaction between you and me. I'm afraid the abyss and hell won't be able to get rid of it.

"Destroyed it?" Roja asked. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

Usually when encountering these scenes in towns, they usually go to the priests of the righteous gods to come forward. This is also something that can increase their favorability.

But now they are too far away to do anything and can only report afterwards.

"Okay." The name written all over the room in blood red made Maple Leaf feel like he was holding back a fire that he had not vented.

He directly lifted the giant sword in his hand and was about to slash at the altar.

"Wait a minute." Zhao Xu said quickly, "Let's search for traps first."

When Maple Leaf heard this, he quickly stepped back.

Although he has never seen the traps in dungeons, this thing has already gained a reputation in the forum, and it is unknown how many players it has killed.

"That's right, Hill, come and search." After hearing this, Roja knew that he was affected by the depressing environment of the room, and he didn't react first.

Hill and the player Rainbow both moved closer to check if there were any traps around the altar.

Searching is not a skill that requires training. Anyone with normal intelligence can search.

But only the professional ability of rogues allows them to search for those difficult traps.

After some inspection, both of them shook their heads, indicating that they had gained nothing.

"Then let's spread out first." Seeing that there was no gain, Zhao Xu didn't say much and just added out of caution.

"Listen to Zhongxia." Luo Ya ordered after seeing this.

Youyou and others also backed away a few meters at this time, leaving only Maple Leaf and Luo Ya in front of the altar.

Roja was on guard in front of the altar with his shield, and he was able to block a few arrows that were actually shot from it.

After Maple Leaf took a breath, he raised his giant sword with both hands and slashed towards the altar.

"Bang." There was a sound.

I don’t know that the altar that had been abandoned for decades or even hundreds of years was broken open by Maple Leaf with a single knife.

"ah-"

Immediately after the altar cracked, a yellow light flashed through, and Maple Leaf suddenly let out a scream.

"Maple Leaf, what's wrong?" Wanderer Rainbow rushed forward and pulled Maple Leaf back, who was already kneeling on the ground.

Maple Leaf, who was originally a very strong warrior, was already sweating on his forehead. He panted and said, "My physical attribute has been deducted by six points."

"Cursed?" Zhao Xu reacted immediately.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Roja, who was still holding his shield, quickly took a few steps back after hearing this.

It was as if the split altar was smiling ferociously.

"Brother Maple Leaf?" Youyou quickly came up to observe Maple Leaf's condition. She was the only one present who had medical skills.

Hearing the words "six attributes", Zhao Xu already understood what happened.

The only good thing is that Maple Leaf's attributes were only damaged.

"How much physical strength do you have left?" Zhao Xu squatted down and asked.

"There are only 8 points left. I originally had 14 points of physical fitness, but now my physical fitness has been adjusted to -1." Maple Leaf gasped.

After reducing the physique, the most direct impact is Maple Leaf's health.

"Brother Maple Leaf, don't worry, just like the previous ghost, these attributes will be restored." Youyou said with relief.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "This should be a curse."

At this time, everyone looked at him, and Roja, the highest-ranking person in the field, suddenly had a bad association.

"The Curse is a third-level divine spell for priests and a fourth-level arcane spell for mage. It has three effects, one of which is to reduce a certain attribute by six points." Zhao Xu explained, "The altar I just took should be There is a magic trap like a curse, which is triggered when the maple leaf is cut down."

No one expected that this altar actually had a back-up plan.

This is also the tricky part of magic traps. As long as there are no accidents, sometimes it is not a problem to last for hundreds of years, unlike ordinary traps that will decay due to time.

Zhao Xu looked at the place where the altar was broken, but there were no obvious marks on the wall behind it.

But he was sure there must be something strange. Most people would not set a trap in the altar for no reason.

"If you cast a curse, the lasting effect is permanent." Youyou said with a pale face.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help being shocked.

If you lose 6 points of constitution forever, you can really delete your account and start over.

In other words, for the Maple Leaf Warrior profession, you can get 10 points from D10 at level 1.

If a mage with 10 constitution and D4 hit dice is touched, his health value will directly become 1 hp. If he is accidentally touched, he will fall to the ground.

Zhao Xu looked at the magic trap under the altar. It seemed that his most common trump card would come in handy now—

The thing he had taken out when he faced the druid and then stuffed it back into.

Thanks to the reminder from Taoist Master V of the Nine Domains, I actually forgot that detecting secret doors is a spell in the knowledge field. The protagonist can actually release this spell through a multi-talented spellcaster, so I changed the previous chapter.
