The Truth of Magic

Chapter 253 Confronting

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, even though Frank had become a nine-ring mage, he still couldn't help showing a look of panic at this moment.

The devil had left too deep a shadow on him.

Compared with the lords of the many layers of the abyss, there are exactly nine lords in the Nine Hells, and Asmodeus, the master of the Nine Hells, is the main one.

At the same time, the battle between Baator Hell and the Abyss can be stalemate in the bloody battlefield for many years.

On the one hand, it has a lot to do with the lords of the abyss fighting each other, on the other hand, we can also see the background of Bator Hell itself.

Seeing that Master Frank was about to shrink back, Zhao Xu laughed lightly and said, "Don't you want to get your wife back?"

"If you are afraid of even facing the devil, why not give up now."

As if stimulated by Zhao Xu, the sorcerer Frank, who had transformed into a construct creature, still gritted his teeth, "Okay, let me try."

As he spoke, he took out an ancient bronze mirror from his dimensional bag, the size of which was no bigger than a palm, as if it belonged to women's grooming.

It's just that the patterns on the back of the mirror are all outlined in the language of purgatory. Together with the mysterious emblem in the middle, it exudes an ominous meaning.

"At the beginning, my wife's soul was swallowed by this mirror. Later, I kept her body, waiting for the return of the soul." Frank said lonely.

For ordinary people, the price of resurrection is the biggest problem in resurrecting the dead.

But for powerful adventurers, the biggest problem in resurrection is the whereabouts of those souls.

Resurrection cannot be forced.

Then Frank continued to hold the sacrifices needed for the summoning ceremony from the dimension bag, and then drew a simple magic circle on the ground to activate the altar.

"These devils are a bit more cautious, even the summoning ceremony has to be customized?"

There are many spells for Arthur's summoning devil projection, but generally the devils of ordinary ranks are summoned.

Zhao Xu, who had only studied the ceremony a little, felt the difference between that ceremony and the general summoning devil ceremony, and was not only satisfied with communication.

The termination of some summoning rituals did not stop the attention of evil creatures from other worlds.

Those evil creatures from other worlds can even track the target creature, and even obtain sensory information from the contractor, even to the point of telepathy and direct hints.

What was even more exaggerated was that Zhao Xu noticed that the other party, as a mage with nine rings, hadn't taken any precautions before summoning the devil.

It's like entertaining your friends instead of calling on the devil.

Zhao Xu had at least used the "protection against evil" spell before.

"It seems that he must have failed after trying. This time, seeing the hope of turning things around, he didn't even have the means to be on guard." Lux said.

Seeing Frank's full concentration and the simple summoning altars arranged on the ground little by little, Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown: "This shows that the devil is very cautious. Lacus, are you sure?"

"Ah? Be sure?" Lux asked suddenly, "Why should I be sure, anyway, Master, you have the amulet of 'Chi Tian Shen Attendant' on you. The angel will definitely not watch you have an accident."

"Lax, the one we have to face is the 'Lord of Hell' level, even if this time it's just the incarnation of the other party." Zhao Xu frowned slightly.

"Hey, master, you know it's an avatar. We are on the main material plane, and we are born to restrain them. But I guess it shouldn't come over, it's just communicating with us."

At this time, Frank had also completely finished the arrangement, and began to chant the spell of communication, while constantly turning the mirror in his hand.

Suddenly, the temperature of the entire treasure house dropped by a few points.

Slowly, under the influence of True Sight and the cooperation of many investigative skills, Zhao Xu began to feel a powerful force of will suddenly descending into the mirror.

The premise of controlling alien creatures, such as some "otherworldly oath" spells, is that the other party has been summoned.

Now that it's just a will, Zhao Xu can only "talk."

Suddenly, an incomparably evil force emerged from the mirror, as if carrying the aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in a bloody battle, covering the entire treasure house.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you are currently in the area of ​​influence of "Evil Aura". 】

Zhao Xu naturally heard the eight-ring arcane "evil aura".

It's just that he didn't expect that just by completing the ceremony, the other party's will will come, and this kind of magic will come to fruition.

It already has the meaning of a super-scale war.

"Heh, which humble reptile is it again?"

Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in the mirror, speaking in the language of purgatory in a hoarse voice.

Zhao Xu, who had the blessing of "Smart Words", immediately understood what the other party said.

"The aura is really at the level of a lord, so Frank can provoke it." Lux also said at this time.

"It's me, humble Frank." Frank quickly bowed and said to the vague voice in the mirror.

"Oh, it turned out to be you, Frank, have you met those three conditions? If you don't do it, I will put your wife's soul into the body of the ghoul, and she will become our clansman from now on ’” the evil devil taunted.

"No, no, great master 'Eric', please don't do this." At this moment Frank begged with a mournful voice.

Even if his blood is fused into mithril, his body organs are all mithrilized. But the burgeoning emotion in his heart never faded away.

"Who are you?" At this moment, Zhao Xu took a step forward, looking seriously at the mirror possessed by the devil's will.

"It's actually the priest of the Goddess of Magic. It's a disgusting aura. So you guys coerced Frank? Then what should I do? For example, let him kill you all?" The vague evil shadow mocked Zhao Xu .

It's just that after hearing that his wife's soul would be injected into the body of the lemure, Frank was in a state of confusion at this time, and lost the most basic thinking ability of a mage.

"Hand over the soul of Frank's wife." Zhao Xu said while looking at the blurred figure in the bronze mirror.

At this moment, the "miracle technique" in his hand was ready to go.

He originally wanted to use the remaining half of his life energy for the battle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Since he encountered such a situation, he would throw it out without hesitation.

"Hehe, who are you? How can you have such a face to communicate with the great me?" The devil in the mirror was even more domineering.

"Master, this character is not quite like those lords in hell." Lacus said in surprise.

Compared with the countless lords of the abyss, the lords of the nine floors of hell are all recorded.

"A person who came to negotiate on behalf of Frank," Zhao Xu said.

"You're so confident, how about making a bet?" The will in the mirror suddenly said provocatively, "If you are willing to use your soul as a bargaining chip, then I can also bet on Frank's wife's bargaining chip."

"How do you bet?" Zhao Xu asked.

At this time, the "miracle technique" in his hand was only short of the last firework.

"For example, guess who I am? You have three chances. As long as you guess correctly, I will return the soul of Frank's wife to you. But if you don't guess correctly, I will take your soul away." The blurred figure in the mirror Continue to lure Zhao Xu.

He was not afraid of Zhao Xu's cheating, as long as he went through several layers of language traps, once Zhao Xu started to guess, the consequences would be like swearing in front of the Styx.

"Master, this doesn't sound like a guess with a one-third possibility." Lux thought, "Three chances to guess the nine lords of the current Baator Hell, it seems not too much. But in fact, there are still more in hell. Some former lords, even demons that are close to the lord level, are just that they have not been granted a territory to rule."

"How, accept?" The cruel smile of the evil will resounded in the whole treasure house, "Look at what cowardly helper you are looking for, hahaha."

"I accept." Zhao Xu said.

Immediately, Frank's already desperate eyes revealed an unbelievable expression.

"Then you guess, only three names." Said the power of the mirror.

It's just that compared to the devil's tradition, it didn't come up with complicated treaties for Zhao Xu to sign.

"Miracle technique: I want the contract to be executed without loopholes."

"Miracle technique: I want the contract to be executed without distortion."

"Miracle technique: I want the contract to be executed fairly and fairly."

"Miracle technique: I want the contract to be executed intact."

"Miracle technique: I want the contract to be executed immediately."

Suddenly Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief and cast five miracles for five consecutive rounds.

Wave after wave of sacred breath emerged from Zhao Xu's body.

The falling of each syllable means that the power of will in this void is getting more and more oppressed.

Countless mighty powers of heaven immediately covered this space, forming an inescapable cage, locking this space bit by bit.

It seems that every time you take a step, you will feel the power of specific rules.

Under the effect of the miracle technique, the originally hidden oath also began to emerge, hovering over everyone, full of meaning for the future.

The words of communication between Zhao Xu and the shadow in the mirror turned into unbreakable contract words one by one under the golden light.

"How can there be such a way to abuse miracles?" The will in the mirror suddenly felt out of breath.

It didn't expect that the trap it set would become an oath to restrain itself!

"But you haven't figured it out yet. If you want to carry out your oath immediately, you have blocked your own escape route." The will in the mirror also reacted and smiled ferociously.

Even if Zhao Xu guessed it just now, he could still delay for hundreds of years, and even directly return the other party a devil with the soul of Frank's wife.

At the request of Zhao Xu's miracle technique, their vow just now was realized, and at the same time, the pressure on him was much greater.

"Grazzt."

Zhao Xu suddenly said the name of the top of the abyss and one of the few demon lords who might win the championship.
