The Truth of Magic

284 the three great divine patterns

At this moment, Zhao Xu was looking at the unique tattoo on his arm, or rather, the ” Sacred Tattoo.

the first divine pattern, lord of the undead, was wrapped around his wrist like a wristband. only the skeleton in the middle could tell the features of the undead creature.

the entire pattern was pure black, as if it was specially drawn with a fine brush and then ironed on.

but when zhao xu gently touched the drawing marks, they didn’t seem to bulge at all. it was as if they had seeped directly into his skin.

He could also feel that there was an intense fluctuation under the divine pattern. It was like a red cannon that was about to explode. Energy was constantly spewing out and drifting away like smoke.

“it’s actually the lord of the undead.” Lacus exclaimed.

“what’s wrong?”

it’s nothing, master. I just sensed the direction of my future evolution from the energy that was dissipating. Lacus looked at the divine runes on Zhao Xu’s arm and said in a happy tone.

lacus, you mean to say that your future direction is to simulate similar extraordinary divine powers? ” zhao xu asked.

“it’s just a thought,”

this is an ability that only gods can have, okay? ”

extraordinary divine power was a term that zhao xu didn’t even dare to imagine in his previous life.

” the specialties of the gods are indeed much more powerful than those of mortals. ” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but say.

it’s not wrong to compare it to the specialties of the gods. said lux.

“master, the ‘lord of the undead’ is originally an ability that can only be obtained when one’s divine spark is at level 14. Gods with this extraordinary divine power could command and destroy any undead creature at will. the only restriction is that you can’t exceed the number of divine sparks in each round.” Said Lux.

this was the power of divine power and the setback of the undead creatures.

Apart from the limit on the number of undead creatures, the description stated that the undead creatures couldn’t resist this ‘divine power’ at all.

it wasn’t like spells, which had all kinds of restrictions, from the restrictions of hd to spell resistance and immunity, as well as the huge amount of casting materials.

And now that Zhao Xu had this sacred sigil, even legendary undead creatures would have to kneel down when faced with this power.

“Master, how much of your power do you have left?” lacus was also looking forward to it.

“mine is a weaker version. it can only be used once and can only destroy or control one undead creature.” zhao xu explained.

At this moment, the two of them fell silent.

The originally slim chance of snatching the divine fragment was suddenly reignited.

but zhao xu and lacus both had a tacit understanding that they had to choose the most suitable candidate.

however, their eyes were not only on the demigod mummy or abomination shriveler that appeared in the air.

Who knew what other powerful existences were hiding under the City of the Dead?

“will it work if i use this on the shriveler or the demigod mummy?” zhao xu was a little hesitant.

“it’s hard to say. it depends on how much divinity the other party has left.” lacus asked, a little uncertain.

zhao xu couldn’t help but frown when he heard this. he had just been lamenting about how this ability had no limits, and now there was a loophole?

” yaya, master, don’t underestimate this ability. even if the other party has a part of divinity, as long as they are not really demigods or above, you can still control them with your control ability. it’s just that there is a time limit. ”

” as for the other legendary undead creatures like the ‘lava ghoul’ and the ‘winter ghoul’, i can control them steadily. ”

As the representative of divine power, lacus also quickly explained to Zhao Xu.

at this moment, zhao xu’s gaze also turned to the land of the sleeping beside the cliff.

For now, his ” Command ” of divine sin shriveler was naturally the most practical.

However, this was the same as casting an ” anti-magic field ” to make the caster lose his ability to cast spells.

the premise was that it could be released on the other party smoothly.

The mage’s series of Swift burst was to be able to play a follow-up move even if he was one step slower.

fortunately, even if zhao xu didn’t use this power, he could still feel it. he could activate the sacred sigil of the lord of the undead as long as he was ” free to do so, ” which was exactly the same as the feather drop spell.

so no matter how many tricks that divine sin shriveler had up his sleeve, zhao xu still had some confidence in his abilities.

zhao xu was also explaining his second sacred sigil, the undead trait, to lux.

his second sacred sigil was still in a state of preparation and would only be activated after he used it. according to zhao xu’s calculations, it would probably last for four or five days.

Some gods, like the former god of death, Nairo, still had the characteristics of undead creatures even though they weren’t undead creatures.

because they had this ” extraordinary divine power “.

as long as he had the divine power of this undead attribute, zhao xu would be able to obtain the true properties of the undead shroud. aside from not being seen through, he wouldn’t lose the effect of his spells when he attacked undead creatures.

Zhao Xu looked at his blank character stats page and compared it to the information about the undead creatures in the sacred sigil. He still felt a little confused.

As long as he activated this Shen glyph, the next five days would be over. he would then be immune to effects that affected the mind, such as the elements of charm, coercion, phantom illusion, mind illusion, morale effect, and so on. zhao xu basically had more than half of the level 8 mind barrier spell.

At the same time, he was also immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, fear, disease, and death effects. He would also not be affected by heavy blows, non-fatal injuries, attribute absorption, and energy absorption.

the undead creatures were like the demigod mummy when zhao xu first saw it. they were all affected by the undead’s level 48 resistance to the despair effect, and they were immediately paralyzed for three rounds.

now that he was immune to all these abilities, zhao xu didn’t have any more worries.

At the very least, the undead creatures could only kill him while he was still alive and not kill him with various attribute absorption and paralyzing methods.

When dealing with undead creatures, the undead creatures themselves were the most effective.

“Master, if we can bring this dead soul trait to the outside world, we’ll be successful in every endeavor.” said lux.

but zhao xu was still very clear-headed, and he knew that the ‘veil of the dead’ of the eighth circle could also do something similar. it’s just that during the process of receiving the spell, the positive energy will become damage.”

“then master, what about your third divine pattern?” At this moment, lacus was also looking at the ” sacred sigil ” on the back of Zhao Xu’s hand. It was in the shape of an open book, but there was a ball of chaotic mist gathered between the gaps of the book. The mist was a huge open eye that was looking straight ahead.

“the third divine pattern is called ‘sense death’.” zhao xu said with a confused look on his face.

“it’s actually this ability.” Lacus could not help but Mutter to herself, ” this is the ‘extraordinary power’ that only the death godhood can have. It allows the gods to accurately know when and how the other party will end their life the moment they see an ordinary object.”

zhao xu couldn’t help but stare at his own sacred sigil. out of the three sacred sigil, the undead ruler was the most weakened, so the power of the entire sacred sigil was the most unstable. the energy within it was fluctuating violently, and it could collapse at any moment.

The second and third undead traits and sense of death were more like permanent status spells. They continuously sent out small streams of power that covered Zhao Xu’s entire body.

“master, among these three divine patterns, which one do you think will be the most useful to you?” at this moment, lacus suddenly started to test zhao xu.

“the third one,’sense death’, right?” Zhao Xu immediately replied.

“eh? it’s not the ‘lord of the undead’ that can allow you to command a legendary creature, nor can it allow you to transform into an undead characteristic that can not be recognized?”

Zhao Xu shook his head. lacus, it’s not good to ask questions like that. Since I’m also an ordinary object, after activating this divine pattern, the remaining energy can allow me to use it about five times to ‘sense’ my own death.”

“This way, I can constantly judge when I will die. Thus, we can avoid these paths that lead to death.”

As he spoke, Zhao Xu’s mind started to analyze his next plan.

Ever since he had obtained these three divine runes, his chances of obtaining the godhood of the “Grim Reaper” had undoubtedly increased to 30 – 50%.

He was currently in a combat state with weak attack, strong defense, and high information.

in fact, his first two divine patterns had also indirectly affected the logic of his “death perception.”

Originally, as long as Zhao Xu showed his face in front of an intelligent undead, he would probably be seen through and a fight to the death would start.

at that time, he would see himself being killed by a group of low-level undead creatures with his death perception.

now, even if he were to encounter a legendary demigod mummy alone, he would not be able to see his death state.

If he encountered two, he could control one to fight with the other undead creature, and it would be a stalemate.

only in the third case, when he encountered more than three high-level undead creatures, or when he had finished the first divine pattern and faced most of the scenes, would death perception take effect and let him see.

After this analysis, Zhao Xu finally understood that he was at his strongest when he was suppressed and not using the Lord of the Undead.

Even the divine sin shriveler, who also had divinity and was an undead creature, might have sensed the abnormality of Zhao Xu’s divine power and immediately avoided him.

Knowing that he couldn’t win, he still forced himself to fight. That was the action of a creature with 8 intelligence.

“The only question now is, why is this statue here and why did it gift me three divine patterns?”

a few possibilities flashed through zhao xu’s mind.
