The Truth of Magic

277 Song of the Dead

“Lacus, do you God equipment like to eat spiders too?” Zhao Xu said, confused.

“uh, i’m suggesting to you, master. otherwise, the cost of using the level 3 ‘flight’ was too high. Master, you only have two level 3 spell slots right now. Even if you combine four level 2 spell slots into two level 3 spell slots, you’ll only have four level 3 spell slots in total.”

“master, is that why you’re willing to use it like this? Or should I spend 1 potential point to simulate ‘free spellcasting’? ” Lacus said, unable to hide her laughter.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but frown.

The potential points that he had not used up at Level 4 were naturally used up after he had leveled up to Level 5, leaving nothing behind.

but now that zhao xu was at level 5, the potential points he could get were based on the five points he had already accumulated. he could also get half of the potential points he had gained from level 5, so zhao xu already had seven potential points at level 5.

ever since zhao xu started using the backdoor of unlimited potential points, he had slowly started to learn more about the secrets of potential points.

One of the simplest ways to use it was when he used his potential points in the prophecy forest to level up his knowledge check.

In Arthur, anything that required a stacking of 1-20 levels, such as attack, immunity, skill, and caster’s check, could be upgraded by 1-6 (1d6) levels by consuming potential points.

When Zhao Xu reached level 8, he could use one potential point to level up by 2 to 12 (2d6) ranks, and he hoped that he could level up to around Level 7.

at level 15,1 potential point would increase his level by 3-18 (3d6), with an expectation of about 10 levels.

at that time, the power of zhao xu’s casual swing after he used up his potential points was equivalent to the power of an extra level 10 warrior.

currently, as long as he was willing to spend 1 potential point, he could save up on level 3 spell slots.

“Master, there are divine sparks here. I suggest you sacrifice yourself.” Lacus continued to tempt him.

if they could become gods, even if they ate some kind of excrement, arthur’s team would be endless.

Not to mention a mere Spider.

but zhao xu was different.

lacus, I’m a man who has mastered all Level 1 to level 3 spells. If there’s only one way for a mage to solve a problem, then there’s only one reason-he knows too few spells. Zhao Xu said helplessly.

At this time, he directly approached the wall of the corridor, feeling the rugged degree of the wall and the length of the endless corridor.

“Oh, master, you can’t be thinking of using the 1st circle divine spell ‘land on earth’, right? although this spell can increase your balance, climb, jump, and roll by 10 levels, it’s not a bad thing.”

” but even if there are some climbing points or standing points on the surface of the wall, the difficulty of climbing is more than 20 steps. not to mention, master, you can’t take out wall nails on the spot to create some climbing points and standing points. otherwise, those shadows are not stupid. zombies are not smart enough to use tools to climb the wall. ” Lacus slowly stopped trying to climb the wall.

and zhao xu knew all of this. if he didn’t use the wall nails and just relied on the cracks in the brick wall to climb up, the difficulty would be no less than 25 steps. If he relied on the spell ” Solid Earth ” to provide him with level 10, coupled with his wall-climbing performance at Level 1 to 20, the probability of successfully climbing over the wall was really not high.

However, it was a good thing that the wall was not completely smooth.

otherwise, it would be useless even if he had the ability to climb up to the 10000th step.

“lux, there’s more than one spell to improve your climbing skill. Remember, the magic variation is the reason why mages are powerful.” Zhao Xu said.

“who said that?” Lacus almost scratched her head in imitation.

there were many mages in the past 1000 years that had similar meanings, but the terms used were different.

“oh, mage zhongxia.” zhao xu joked.

Then, he reached into the pockets of his robe that he had sewn together and took out a small capsule. He crushed it and a drop of tree sap immediately flowed into his palm. Zhao Xu started casting a spell.

It was a divine spell unique to a 1st circle Ranger, lizard wall.

[ adventurer zhongxia, your climbing skill has gained a level 20 enhancement, duration: 5 minutes (1min/level) ]

Suddenly, a large number of climbing movements appeared in Zhao Xu’s mind. Then, it was as if his four limbs were equipped with mechanical arms. If he made any mistakes in climbing and made any mistakes in his posture, this power would immediately help him correct them.

In just an instant, with the help of this spell, Zhao Xu became a master in the climbing skill.

the ” gecko wall ” spell could only be strengthened by 10 levels at the start. at level 5, it would be strengthened by 20 levels, and once he reached level 9, it would be strengthened by 30 levels. at that time, even if he had to walk on a wall with only a few cracks on it, zhao xu would still be able to climb it.

With the help of his level 20 Climb skill, Zhao Xu used his bare hands to grab a crack in the wall and jumped into the air.

This scene stunned lacus. that’s strange. When was this new spell invented? why didn’t I think of it just now? ”

but when zhao xu heard this, he raised his eyebrows. this meant that even if she didn’t transform into her god equipment, she still might not be omniscient in certain areas.

but slowly, zhao xu didn’t have time to think about it anymore.

when he got up, those shadows all turned their heads to look at zhao xu. but when they saw that zhao xu didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, they just turned their heads back and thought that he was just a zombie who liked something special.

the corridor wasn’t very high up, so zhao xu climbed up the walls. as he walked across the corridor, he could smell the stench coming from below.

His feet were less than ten centimeters away from the ghouls below him, which made it even more difficult for him to imagine how disgusting he would be if he really squeezed through the ghouls ‘encirclement and covered his robe with pus.

“hehe, master, although you have received a rank 20 buff, the key attribute of the climb skill is strength, and you will receive a rank 1 penalty with 8 points of strength, plus the ‘disgusting’ state caused by the demonic ghost. master, your current climbing skill is only at level 17. with the addition of your performance at level 1 to 20, you should be able to pass this wall with a difficulty level of 25.” lacus said angrily, as if she was trying to save her face.

“No, lacus, you’re wrong. i’m climbing horizontally, not vertically, so if i fail, i’ll fall down and bump into a few ghouls. i can still climb again in a few seconds.” zhao xu said. this was the reason why he would rather use a spell to strengthen his climbing skill.

lacus, who had been slapped in the face, fell silent.

But Zhao Xu was just saying that. If he really wanted to climb the ceiling, he really would have to use a spell like the spider spell.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu, who was having a great time arguing with Lux, felt a chill brush past him from behind. Luckily, Zhao Xu hadn’t changed his hand yet, so he quickly grabbed onto the wall again.

The shadow that had been blocking the way in the room suddenly flew towards the corridor that Zhao Xu was in.

Zhao Xu’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this, but he immediately stuck close to the wall as countless spells flashed through his mind.

The third-circle spell, hold the undead? it could only control three, so it was not suitable.

A second-circle derivative vaccine? he was already dead, so what was the point of not letting himself become an extension of the shadow?

the undead died? This was a spell that could destroy undead, but it was a pity that it was only Level 6, so Zhao Xu couldn’t use it.

as a series of spells flashed through his mind, zhao xu knew that he was in a very passive position. he was only level 3, so he didn’t have any spells that could make the final decision.

So he made up his mind and was ready to let go at any time and fall into the group of ghouls.

no matter what, being disgusted to death by the ghouls was better than being drained of his power by the shadows. the hundreds of ghouls at this moment were zhao xu’s greatest protection.

But Zhao Xu wasn’t the target of those shadows. Most of them continued to fly forward after passing by him, as if there was some sort of power that was summoning them.

But as the shadow mass charged forward, many of them just flew past Zhao Xu’s back, making him feel a chill down his spine and making him grit his teeth.

But what Zhao Xu was more worried about was what was in front of him.

it couldn’t be that these undead creatures were controlled by someone’s consciousness, right? if that was the case, the predicament that he was about to face would probably be much more complicated.

At this moment, a low and sad singing voice started to fill the entire corridor and it slowly entered Zhao Xu’s ears.

but zhao xu’s ears went numb when he heard this, and he almost fell to the ground.

This was because in Arthur, this song was a ‘funeral song’ for the dead.
