The Truth of Magic

279 land of ascension (1/2)

even if zhao xu had some guesses in his heart, he couldn’t predict what was going on in front of him, so he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

“master?” lacus asked.

“I’m thinking if I’m still in the state of coherence, would I have any chance of winning if I tried to snatch it now?” Zhao Xu told them his own calculations.

“what do you think, master?”

zhao xu shook his head. ” not a single point. ”

in coherence, he only had level 9 spells for the time being. he lacked advanced abilities and specialties, and the restrictions were too great.

“Hehe, master, you can’t seek death at this time.” Laxus laughed.

the existence of abominations is a mistake in itself. They are the ones who die prematurely. On one hand, it has power similar to that of a God, and on the other hand, it draws power from pure hatred towards the gods.”

” the birth of divine sins is accompanied by pain and distortion. they have a wide variety and are unimaginably terrifying. they are cursed by heaven and hell at the same time. Generally speaking, abominations are sealed from the moment they are born. What we are seeing now is that they are accidentally released as time passes, or they break free of their own cages.”

Even though the abomination shriveler was considered a large creature, there was a large number of other undead creatures gathered around it, and Zhao Xu couldn’t see them clearly.

in other words, the lucky ones are the divine sons, and the unlucky ones are the divine sins? ” This was Zhao Xu’s first time hearing about the secrets of a God, and he couldn’t help but be curious.

even in the book of gods and demigods, the ” divine sin ” mentioned was only in a few words. most of the time, it was referred to as the mistakes of the gods.

“well, it’s not exactly accurate to say that. However, you have to remember that every abomination is accompanied by disaster and pain in Arthur. They have eternal life and divinity, so they have always been killed.”

At this moment, lacus directly generated an image of the other party in her mind.

Zhao Xu suddenly felt an image that he couldn’t see clearly before, and he almost made a sound.

That abomination, shriveler, looked like a deformed and incomplete fetal membrane. Zhao Xu could see the characteristics of an undead creature on it with one look. It had a wet and swollen body, its eyes were terrifyingly empty, and disgusting saliva kept dripping from the corners of its mouth. at the same time, the shriveler’s arms were long and thin, with sharp claws at the end. only a pair of withered legs fit its name.

it’s too disgusting. Lacus cut it. Zhao Xu said with a frown.

This was simply the appearance of a horror film.

at this time, the floating ‘amber coffin’ had been pulled to the sky above the land of the sleeping by night shade. behind it was a dense army of undead creatures with flying abilities.

“in other words, the abomination’s terror is beyond our imagination?” zhao xu said.

“That’s right, master. The main thing is that some of the abominations ‘data panels don’t look much different from mythic monsters. For example, the leader of the abominations, the Hecatoncheir that is said to have a challenge level of up to 57. Master, you’re not afraid at all after you reach level 17.”

however,’they’ themselves also have an indescribable and unpredictable ‘godhood template’. Just like the’ incarnations ‘of gods, they can play an unparalleled role. ” from what i know, arthur’s divinity template usually adds a level 20 priest’s ability. thus, each of them is no weaker than the blazing sky god servant.” said lux.

zhao xu was also frowning.

arthur’s blazing sky god’s servant was powerful because they had the abilities of a level 20 priest.

the dragon race was also powerful, because when their life dice was high, they would also have a warlock level.

For example, the ancient Golden Dragon cainphas that Zhao Xu had encountered before was considered a level 19 Warlock.

Zhao Xu was looking at the 24 flying wing night shadows that were chained up around the stone coffin. They had a challenge level of 14, and just this alone was not something that he could handle as a level 5 wizard.

if he could bring his full set of equipment in, he might have a chance of winning.

” that’s why, lacus, our goal should have been to save lives and the ‘iron will’ specialty. ” zhao xu said.

it was too difficult to deal with the undead creatures that filled the sky.

” hehe, i’m mainly here to remind you, master. the abomination itself hates the gods. at this moment, it’s still able to keep calm and escort the divine fragment, which in itself has an unusual meaning. ” said lacus.

at this moment, all the undead creatures in the land of the sleeping, even the haughtiest ghost dragon and the lich who had the ability to cast spells, were showing their respect and faith to the amber crown in the sky.

this was even more so for the ghouls that were the closest to zhao xu. when the amber coffin appeared in the sky, they all knelt on the ground, trembling, regardless of whether they could run out of the cave in time.

this originated from the godhead of the death god, which naturally had a great suppression on the undead creatures.

This was also the source of the evil priest’s ability to ” berate undead creatures.

“so now, the ‘amber coffin’ is being pulled out to stabilize the divinity?” zhao xu asked.

“wow, master, your intuition hit the mark again.” Lacus exclaimed.

“Lacus doesn’t have that much intuition. This group of undead creatures couldn’t possibly be so full that they had nothing to do and would drag the coffins along the streets, right? Oh, they didn’t need to eat. There must be a reason for this coffin to come out and risk its life in the air. But I remember that the faith provided by the undead creatures is very weak.” zhao xu said, ignoring the man’s flattery.

“well, this can still stabilize the divine fragment.” said lacus.

In fact, the undead creatures were immune to a lot of negative effects, from fear to paralysis. They didn’t need to eat, sleep, or breathe. It could be said that it was a permanent template.

That was why every year, there were many mages who pursued eternal life and lacked low-cost channels. Even if they knew that they would fall into the evil camp, they would still resolutely choose to become liches.

And these liches were also one of the undead creatures that posed the greatest threat to Zhao Xu in the town below.

The enemy of a mage was usually another mage.

“Master, there’s still hope. If I transform into a divine weapon, I might be able to steal a portion of the divine fragment’s energy.”

Lacus exclaimed as she looked at the “Amber coffin.”

this moment might be the best chance for them to get close to godhood in the next ten years.

at this time, the wizard association and the will of the gods had not yet intervened. they even planned to seal this interdimensional space forever and set it aside for a certain opportunity in the future to open it.

“i don’t think he’ll make a move now.” the large group of people was still in the air, and zhao xu didn’t know where they were going to go in the end. but he didn’t dare to make any rash moves.

“They will eventually escort this ‘Amber coffin’ to the Temple of Death in the town.” lacus said, “wang ningwei and asvich are probably hiding in one of the buildings in the town below.”

“after the fusion of the two planes, many things have probably changed.” Lacus made her judgment based on her own experience.

what about my specialty ‘iron will’? ” Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

he had endured his disgust and crawled through the tunnel, which could be considered some kind of exercise.

However, now that the two planes had merged, the original trial would be destroyed, and he would lose the chance to obtain “iron will.

This was especially so when Zhao Xu could sense the new abilities that the spell truth fragment provided him with, as well as the large number of metamagic abilities that he would need after he reached Level 6.

Even if he was given 10 specialty slots right now, he would still be able to arrange them clearly.

however, the reality was very cruel. from now on, he would only be able to obtain specialties every three levels. from level 6 to level 18, he only had five specialties that came from his level.

the other specialties could only be provided by advanced classes, just like how mages could only obtain one metamagic specialty every five levels. it was pitifully rare.

“Yes, that specialty. Actually, master, when you leave this interdimensional space, you will automatically obtain it. This is also one of the reasons why the association allowed you to join.” said lux.

“because the nature of the plane has changed?”

“hmm, no matter what, i’m afraid that master, you, wang ningwei, and asvich are the last three people in this world who can obtain ‘iron will’ through the power of the plane. “as long as you can leave this place alive, the demiplane’s will will will transfer all the remaining specialty spirituality to you.” Said Lux.

“That’s not right.”

suddenly, zhao xu’s expression changed.

“In reality, from the moment we entered the plane, we should have become the target of the ‘artificial death’. why did you receive a gift from the plane will?”

“originally, the association allowed me to enter, but that was under the premise that it had its own special means. But in the end, they didn’t give me any special methods.”

in that case, it’s possible that Wang Ningwei and asvich are more important than me, so they can sacrifice me in exchange for their survival. But teacher Antonya was not worried about letting me in, so she denied this possibility.

” the other possibility is that the association actually has the confidence to allow me to successfully escape, so they simply let me get this ‘gift of expertise’. ”

Zhao Xu analyzed the situation word by word.

He also realized that Lux wasn’t hiding anything from him, but was selectively revealing it to him.

“Lacus, can you tell me the truth?” zhao xu said.

suddenly, the spirit of the divine gear in zhao xu’s mind, lacus, let out a long sigh. ” master, when did you confirm this suspicion? ”

she knew that zhao xu definitely didn’t raise his suspicions after hearing that she would definitely be able to get a specialty. it was because of what she had said that he was able to put the last brick on the chain of conjectures.

” from the moment we entered the stone door, we had to break the spell. ” Zhao Xu said.

“although i haven’t learned much about it, there are three other encryption methods mentioned in recent times that have not been applied. it means that the encryption was not set up by the association’s high-level wizard.” zhao xu said.

the magic civilization had been accumulated for thousands of years, and the entire building was basically very solid. most mages were doing the repair work, and even directly built their own building within the building.

Lacus had introduced a total of 23 spell encryption theories to him, but she had skipped three that were added in recent times. It was too much of a coincidence.

Lacus continued, ” master, they didn’t tell you because this involves the Association’s shameful past.

“The first half of the demiplane of this ‘scavenger beast mine’ is where the god of death, Nairo, was ‘tortured’. It’s the’ land of divine punishment’. In the second half, the Grim Reaper completed his revenge and slaughter here, so this is also the ‘land of godhood’. ”
