The Truth of Magic

254 the demon king

When the ninth-circle wizard, frange, heard Zhao Xu point out the other person’s name, he had a look of disbelief on his face.

his silver-white body seemed to have been hit by an impact, and it kept shaking, making the sound of metal colliding.

Just now, everyone was guessing which Lord of hell the devil opposite them was.

only a demon of this level could toy with a ninth-circle mage to this extent.

who would have thought that zhao xu wouldn’t end up calling out the name of the lord of hell?

It was the name of their nemesis, the demon general, which was a level above the Lord of the Abyss.

Demons and devils were quite different from each other in terms of their origins and various characteristics.

The main reason was that they were on the opposite side of the balance between order and chaos.

the countless demons and devils that had died on the battlefields were evidence of the inextinguishable and vast hatred between the two.

So when Zhao Xu used the name ” Demon Lord ” to guess who the ” demon ” was, how could this not shock and disbelief him?

“Wow, master, your guess makes sense.” but at this moment, lacus also started to praise zhao xu.

” but master, you’re too talented. you’re so sensitive that you can sense the disharmony between the demon and the demon. ”

“sigh, in the abyss, which demon can pretend to be a devil? It’ll definitely be the most powerful Demon Lord grazite.” Lacus said with emotion.

“He’s the only one who can speak eloquently and use gorgeous words to convince other creatures. It was just a little strange. The other party’s performance just now seemed to be a disguise, as if he was more of a villain than a debate expert. that’s why i’m especially impressed by you, master, for being able to see through it. ”

At this moment, the grazite in the mirror had clearly acknowledged his identity and no longer made any clamoring sounds.

the power from zhao xu’s five strange traces had already formed rings that bound it, and the ones that hadn’t formed were slowly weaving into a huge net that was trying to wrap around this entire space.

if the other party did not fulfill his promise, he would definitely not be able to escape unscathed unless he cut off this will.

When it was beneficial to him, he would make use of the oath’s order. when it was not beneficial to him, he would use his chaotic side to suppress the power of the oath.

that was why grazite, the most demonic ‘devil’, could act so brazenly in the prime material plane.

it was him, it was him.

It would be a joke if he wanted to suppress the Demon King with his wisdom alone.

A verbal confrontation would only happen between two people of similar status and power.

if zhao xu didn’t have the abilities of a level 20 cleric, he wouldn’t have even opened his mouth to try.

in his previous life, he had known from the very beginning that there had been traces of demons in the underground treasury of the government city hall in fallen star lake.

He didn’t know if it was the broken altar left by frange in his previous life, but its power had been revealed once and turned an innocent tomb watcher into a half-purgatory creature.

Zhao Xu was the sheriff, so he was naturally sent to act as the common contact person for the church of the good God. He was tasked with coordinating the forces to destroy the demonic altar together.

So, from the very beginning, when Zhao Xu was standing in this place, he wouldn’t think that the answer would be the devil.

“I don’t know how you guessed this, but it’s really interesting. You’re a priest who can cast five strange spells. Since the goddess of magic has shown you so much favor, she will naturally not give me any room to interfere. I will be waiting for you in the abyss.”

as he spoke, a crystal clear emerald shot out from the mirror and landed on the pile of gold coins.

“Fei ya, my Fei ya.” Seeing this, Frank pounced on the Emerald and kissed it desperately, as if he wanted to feel strength and warmth from it.

“Although you have preserved your wife’s body, it’s best to check the gem first. don’t bring it to the corpse in a hurry to cast your spell.”

even though the person in front of him was a 9th circle wizard, zhao xu still had to give frank a few words of advice when he saw how unstable frank’s mental state was.

“Thank you, thank you. I’m really grateful.” after his long-cherished wish was fulfilled at this moment, his entire person fell into a state of incoherence.

as for the demon general grazite, after he was accidentally tied down by zhao xu’s strange magic, he immediately threw out the gemstone and managed to suppress the power of the binding to its lowest.

it was about to use its power to influence zhao xu.

This was also grazite’s way of doing things. He would tell Zhao Xu that he couldn’t do anything about it and then throw the gemstone out to distract the ninth-circle wizard, frange.

In just a moment, grazite’s will condensed into waves of aftershock and spread out.

“master, this place has been sealed by grazite’s power, and we can’t teleport. i’m afraid that it will immediately attack you.” lacus quickly reminded zhao xu.

” he’s preparing a mysterious ritual, which is why he hasn’t made a move yet. once he does, he’ll probably kill you directly, master. ”

Lacus’s tone was already a little anxious. I’m taking your soul away through death.

“I don’t know if I have the luck to know your real name. After all, you’re the first grazite opponent to make me suffer such a setback in all my years.”

a deep male voice suddenly echoed in the air. the voice was full of mesmerizing magnetism, as if it had a hypnotic effect.

But Zhao Xu immediately thought back to the legend of grazite, a dark-skinned demon who had snuck into the Prime Material Plane to pamper the witches and warlocks, and then gave them powerful magic.

With this sort of impact, Zhao Xu was able to break free from that affected state and his mind immediately cleared up.

Then, he walked straight forward, trying to get within a few meters of the mirror.

The energy field emitted by the mirror was getting stronger and stronger, and it had even begun to distort space.

Even if Zhao Xu touched the mirror next, it might not be the real thing.

Zhao Xu also kept feeling the energy field that was being reflected by the divine power of the abyss.

[adventurer zhongxia, affected by the power of the abyss, your priest level has dropped by 1. You will lose 1 level 9 spell slot.]

[adventurer qianqian]

......

There were four notifications in a row, and Zhao Xu lost all of his 9th-circle divine spells.

However, he finally reached the mirror.

“anti-magic field,” Zhao Xu immediately shouted.

Suddenly, an invisible barrier appeared around Zhao Xu and covered an area of only three meters.

Out of all the area-of-effect spells that Zhao Xu had ever used, this was the spell that covered the smallest area.

however, its effect was the most powerful.

in this area that was less than 30 square meters-

all spells, spell-like spells, and supernatural abilities were suppressed.

It also included all magic items.

Originally, the anti-magic field was powerless against divine weapons, and it was the same for divine power.

however, grazite’s vessel for divine power was not the real divine power of the gods of arthur. it was a special plane’s divine power given to him by the abyssal plane.

When it reached Arthur’s dimension, it had already collapsed countless times. At this time, the magic mirror that provided the carrier was suppressed to the point that it lost all its abilities.

The original supply of divine power was instantly cut off.

The devil’s murmurs in the air also slowly faded away, and the surroundings returned to silence.

After a few minutes, Zhao Xu finally stopped the effects of the anti-magic field.

He picked up the mirror and threw it in front of Frank. your wife’s soul is actually in the mirror.

It was earth-shattering.

” that emerald is a fake. if you really break it later, the soul of a demon will come out and start to infect and invade your wife, turning her into a demon. ”

zhao xu said as he looked at frank.

“You say?” frank’s eyes were filled with fear.

that’s right. After he threw out the ‘Soul Gem’, the power of miracle’s suppression on him weakened, because the spell itself was deceived.

then, when you destroy your wife’s body and are on the verge of death in despair, the moment you offer your soul to the demon ... it would tell you that your wife’s soul had always been in the mirror, always under your control. As long as you seek help from the gods, you can crack the mirror and obtain the soul.”

“It’s all because you didn’t dare to disobey the demon’s will. in the end, you’ll walk down the path of despair and become a delicious soul offering for powerful mages.”

Zhao Xu slowly analyzed grazite’s methods.

For some reason, after he was infected by the abyssal divine power, his thoughts and reactions became clearer and clearer.

He instantly saw through the originally confusing fog.

After all, Frank did not become a ninth-circle sorcerer through the years.

He himself had more or less understood the logic behind Zhao Xu’s logic.

even when he was no longer afraid of the demonic power behind the “mirror,” he would be able to find out the truth with his strength as a ninth-circle sorcerer.

it was a pity that the other party was naturally weak. even if the devil was on the verge of death, it was still able to successfully drive frank to act.

thank you. These ‘instant Super Magic scepter’ and ‘legendary scepter of the dead’ can’t repay even a fraction of what you have done. frank looked ashamed. at the same time, he took out the mithril crystal from his pocket and placed it on the ground.

Frank then stood up and bowed to Zhao Xu.

“I have to resurrect my wife as soon as possible. If you need me in the future, you can send someone here.”

As he spoke, he took out a small booklet from his pocket. it also records the secrets of the fallen star Lake that I have collected over the years.

then, frank picked up the mirror and used a burrow spell to leave.

Zhao Xu understood why the other party was so anxious.

after the demon disappeared, his will was awakened. it was as if he would die of shame if he stayed any longer.

Zhao Xu also turned around and looked at the rewards he had gotten from ‘fighting’ the demon general.

however, the first thing he picked up before he left was the necromancer’s staff that was forged from the ‘finger bone’.

it was a staff that could be titled.

As long as a player died in front of Zhao Xu, he would be able to use the soul bind spell to bind their soul.

he would make it so that the other party would never be able to resurrect.

It was the number one weapon to take revenge on players.
