The Truth of Magic

Chapter 271 Nine Swords System (13)

Anti-magic field!

This six-ring arcane spell is also the priest's eight-ring magic spell.

As a result, the group of mages did not use it much, and it was more used by various professions to target mages.

The fighter profession wants to be able to fight the mage, on the one hand, it needs to solve the problem of mobility.

The mages of the third and fourth rings themselves have the blessings of flying, any door, and dimension jump in terms of mobility.

Even local tyrants like Zhao Xu have the blessing of "explosively".

The warrior class doesn't have a means of instant teleportation, so don't even think about getting close to them easily.

In the low-level stage, everyone believes more that distance is the greatest defense.

And when it came to the sixth ring, even the most humble mage could begin to learn the core triggering technique.

A mage of this level can still be beaten to death by a warrior, basically he can't think about it.

In other words, a mage who has exhausted his spell slots still wants to fight, and he will not be able to survive that ring number.

And the "anti-magic field" with a radius of only three meters is a must-kill magic skill for fighters to fight against high-level mages.

It's just that more fighters lack the means to instantly cast an "anti-magic field".

As Zhao Xu knew, the "advanced spell storage ring" worth 90,000 gold coins could store spells with a total of 10 rings, and the wearer could release the spells stored inside.

It's just that it is very cumbersome to find the caster and store the spells in it afterwards.

So even if Zhao Xu became a legendary sorcerer, he would taboo against particularly targeted spells such as "anti-magic field" and "mage disintegration".

In the future, he will also build his own defense project against these spells, so that he can automatically avoid and counterattack automatically.

Relying on oneself to fight first is the most unreliable performance in itself.

A real mage is to make sure that when the target spell appears, the well-matched spell combination on him will automatically respond and solve it.

And Zhao Xu's various response methods, including the "star cloak" on his body and even the ability to "reflect and evade" with spells in the future, were all based on spells.

An "anti-magic field" can penetrate his defenses.

And he still can't cast spells in the anti-magic field, even if he has monstrous abilities, he still has to get out of the three-meter radius.

The "power of iron heart" that appeared now could make him break away from this "anti-magic field" state, and even a series of other corresponding negative states that affect spellcasting.

It is the ability to forcibly release the negative state.

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The prerequisites for advanced occupations have killed countless people.

Even if Zhao Xu could imitate the expertise, he was still limited by the prerequisites.

At that time, he was able to use "Potential Points" to simulate "Clearance Slash", which was achieved after he used the second-level spell "Heroic Spirit Possession" to give himself an additional warrior specialty "Powerful Attack".

The specialty of "martial arts learning" allows a layman like him to perform a selected move in a short period of time.

The feat itself is no secret.

What is really valuable is the "Strength of Iron Heart" move that is followed by the top secret of the "Eastern Empire" Nine Swords.

That was what Zhao Xu dreamed of.

It's just that Zhao Xu felt a headache when he looked at the prerequisites for this specialty.

"The stronger it is, the more complicated the preposition is." Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu's face and smiled slightly.

Obviously she is also aware of the precondition of "power of iron heart".

"Teacher, you also have this ability?" Zhao Xu asked.

"That's for sure." Antinoya chuckled, "As your mentor, it's not that you can and I can't."

Zhao Xu immediately thought something was wrong, "Are the contents of these fragments of truth the same?"

However, Antinoya shook his head, "Not necessarily, some are not specialties, but other resources. Do you wonder where I got the learning method of 'Strength of Iron Heart'?"

"I also contributed to the founding of the Eastern Earth Empire. Naturally, I knew their system well, but I swore an oath not to reveal their inheritance outside."

"Otherwise, do you think I was really suppressed by the anti-magic field just now?"

Looking at Zhao Xu's stunned expression, Antinoya continued, "After I activate the power of iron heart, the potential points will be restored automatically, and then I can also directly restore the spell position, not to mention that I have a series of methods on me .”

"Lax, look." Zhao Xu complained inwardly.

"Hey, didn't you do anything?" Lax knew that she had persuaded Zhao Xu to pounce on him to make up for it, so she quickly shrank back and remained silent.

The Dongtu Nine Swords system is actually named after its nine martial arts schools: Iron Heart, Stone Dragon, White Crow, Desert Wind, Steel Soul, Sunset, Pious Heart, Tiger Claw, and Shadow Hand. The moves and postures are also divided into nine levels. .

Then under the Nine Swords system, there are three basic martial arts professions: Sword of War (Battle Blade), Sword of Heavenly Punishment (Crusader), Sword of Sage (Kendoist), each of which masters several schools and uses moves, The postures are different.

"Strength of Iron Heart" is exactly the move of "Iron Heart Flow", and its rank is not high, only the third level.

But the premise of learning to use it is to master an additional "Iron Heart Flow" move.

So if Zhao Xu wanted to use this move directly, he had to use the "martial arts learning" specialty to master another iron heart flow move.

In this way, it is equivalent to using two specialties to successfully use "Strength of Iron Heart" once.

Zhao Xu was going to fight the "demiplane of death" next, so he was only provided with a guaranteed "Iron Will" specialty.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at Antinoya, "Teacher, how did you achieve it?"

"I have a part-time job as a martial artist." Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Sure enough, Antinoya easily climbed into the cabin of the mysterious golem just now, and it wasn't for no reason that the other party had really been trained by a martial artist.

But Zhao Xu immediately noticed something was wrong.

Arthur didn't take part-time job casually, and there would be no punishment for advanced jobs.

However, if you work part-time in basic occupations, if the difference exceeds 1 level, you will be punished and the difficulty of upgrading will be increased. It is estimated that each additional occupation will slow down by about 20%.

For example, if a level 5 fighter also works as a level 1 priest, he will receive this punishment, unless the opponent is a level 1 fighter who also works as a level 1 priest or a level 2 priest.

However, human beings are born with racial talent, so they can be exempted from a professional multi-job penalty.

So Zhao Xu's level 1 priest was also a level 4 dossier scholar, because the human race ignored his level 4 dossier.

And Antinoya is probably the same. The other party must have a level 1 priest and work in other martial arts professions part-time. As long as they are only level 1 or 2, which is not much different from a priest, she will not be punished.

However, if it was that simple, mages would have gone to part-time jobs long ago.

The level of part-time job does not improve the ability to cast spells.

So Zhao Xu is now a level 5 character. Because he is a level 1 priest part-time, the archivist is 1 level behind in learning spells.

"Teacher, shouldn't mages work part-time?" Zhao Xu asked.

If he wasn't a double elite, I'm afraid he wouldn't be a part-time level 1 priest either.

"Well, yes, because this will affect the progress of obtaining high-level spells. The main reason is that I only went to work part-time after I was at the legendary level. I can pass the nine rings on both sides of Sinnoh, so naturally it doesn't affect it." Ann Tinoya said.

"It really is a legendary mage who bullies people." Lux interjected again at this time.

But Zhao Xu didn't say anything, but was thinking about gains and losses.

Everything is a trade-off. Antinoya waited until after the legend to obtain the power of iron heart. At that time, the increase in her spellcaster level was already very small. Compared with the previous part-time martial artist, the benefits she gained were even greater.

It's just that Zhao Xu couldn't delay it for so long.

Compared with Antinoya, he needs to face the problem of early part-time jobs earlier.

Because in the route designed for his future, "Red Jade Guardian" is the advanced profession of Nine Swords, and it has to go to Zhao Xu to master a "pious heart" style move and a "pious heart style" stance.

The Qianxinliu is also a unique school of "Sword of Heavenly Punishment". If he does not work part-time as a level 1 Heavenly Punisher, it is not so easy to advance to the "Red Jade Guard" that will also destroy the balance of the world.

And the "Iron Heart Flow" where the "Strength of Iron Heart" belongs is also a unique school of "Sword of Saber". The move "Strength of Iron Heart".

Zhao Xu had a headache thinking about it for a moment, so he glanced directly at the third specialty, "Arcane Mastery."

Zhao Xu's specialty was indeed mediocre at first glance.

When a mage casts a spell, he needs to overcome the unique "spell resistance" of some creatures.

Just like Zhao Xu's previous fight against the "Deep Prison Demon", he had to weaken the opponent's magic resistance before he could successfully throw the "Hammer of Justice" on the opponent.

As for the test of penetration magic resistance, it depends on Zhao Xu's caster level, and then superimposed on his "performance evaluation" of that spellcasting, which is also a performance level of 1-20. If the result exceeds the magic resistance, the spell will take effect , otherwise it will be blocked directly.

"Arcane mastery" allowed Zhao Xu to stabilize his performance to "level 10".

From then on, before throwing his spell, he knew whether he could penetrate the opponent smoothly, instead of just watching his performance this time or gambling on luck.

And mages really prefer this kind of certainty.

After Zhao Xuri, you don't have to spend expertise to master it. When he can directly use it temporarily, he can use "potential points" to simulate it.

Unlike the power of iron heart, if he wants to use potential points to simulate, he has to face the dilemma that he has no temporary potential points under the "anti-magic field".

That is to say, he has to choose which one to use, such as "simulating supernatural ability", which can be used immediately, or "strength of iron heart", which can be used after a long time.

"Teacher, are there any options I want?" Zhao Xu asked casually.

"Yes." Antinoya also replied casually at this moment.
