The Truth of Magic

Chapter 311 Chilling Touch

The moment the spell was finished, Zhao Xu suddenly felt the vitality of his body being drawn out, and then condensed into a ghostly hand emitting a strange glimmer in front of the ferocious bear.

Among Arthur's spells, some spells require "touching" the target person.

For teammates, you need to move to the opponent's side, and for enemies, you need to get close.

These are extremely dangerous for mages. After all, most spells require "posture" components. Once they are grappled, they will not be able to cast spells without the "Spell Fixed Shot" specialty.

So even if the soul prisoner itself suppressed the ferocious bear greatly, Zhao Xu still put safety first and would never take the initiative to get close to him. So he cast the second-level spell "Ghost Hand" to replace him with the first-to-fourth-level "contact" spell.

The only cost is that every time a spell is cast, it needs to consume 1-4HP or something, until the spell ends, the vitality will be returned to him.

The warriors and barbarians who patrolled around to suppress the dire bear and prevent it from escaping all looked curiously at the incorporeal "hand" that appeared out of thin air. Needless to say, they understood that it was created by the gale mage.

Everyone is looking forward to the effect it can play.

Although the ghost hand itself was a minute-level spell, Zhao Xu still seized the time and continued to cast the next final spell.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you have activated the "knowledge devotion" ability, linking knowledge (nature), the result of the test is 17, you know the weakness of the dire bear in front of you, and the attack and damage get a +2-level insight bonus]

Zhao Xu instantly activated the "knowledge piety" ability he had exchanged for with the "knowledge field", but unfortunately this ability could only be used on himself. As for the dossier ability Dark Knowledge (tactics), which can also better deal with monsters, it cannot be activated because Dire Bear does not belong to one of the five major categories.

After instantly gaining the bonus, Zhao Xu began to sing seriously the three-ring spell that dominated the lower ring——

"Shivering touch!"

In an instant, the phantom hand controlled by Zhao Xu's remote control was injected with an extremely cold air. If the phantom hand hadn't been incorporeal, it would have even formed frost.

The moment the spell was finished, the phantom hand directly drove the icy mass in the palm to attack the ferocious bear.

At this time, the dire bear saw the ghost hand attacking, and it was on one side of its body, trying to dodge the attack.

"Can he hit this bear with a mage?" the poet standing in the corner muttered to himself. Generally, the attack ability of this kind of summoned energy hand follows the mage's own fighting consciousness.

It is conceivable how bad a mage's melee combat ability is.

Even the dire bear thought the same way, its attention was more on defending against the soul prisoner.

Dire Bear's tough outer skin has a strong natural defense of level 7, which also allows him to have a full level 17 final defense. This is also the reason why players don't have a high hit rate on this ferocious bear.

However, the ghost hand itself strengthened the second-level attack due to the magic, and after adding the second-level knowledge and devotion, it just touched the body of the ferocious bear so abruptly.

Because it is a melee touch attack, it ignores any armor and natural armor.

At this moment of being hit, the dire bear still didn't care, it knew that it still had a huge vitality.

It was just a bone-piercing, heart-piercing chill that went straight into the heart of the ferocious bear, and immediately its entire body began to shiver uncontrollably, affecting the vigorous movements of the whole body.

At this time, the players also cried out in excitement, as if they had cast the spell themselves.

The bear's speed is affected, which means the bear's ability to dodge is reduced, and it is naturally easier to be hit.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you cast "Shivering Touch" on "Dire Bear", causing 3D6 (3-18) = 13 points of agility damage, lasting for 7 rounds]

Immediately, the bear's limbs became stiff like a statue, and fell into a state of paralysis. Those who didn't know it thought that there were ice sculptures blocking him.

Seeing this scene, the soul prisoner began to release "soul prisoner attack" round after round.

As for the surrounding players, seeing that this mighty dire bear with a challenge level of 7 was so controlled by the spell cast by the gale mage himself, they didn't react for a while.

"Is the three-ring spell so powerful?" a union member asked.

"I'm afraid it's a state of paralysis. It's just that this kind of spell generally needs to be too strong. Is the save difficulty of this storm mage so high? Even a dire bear with a high physique can't pass it."

At this time, no one knew that Zhao Xu's agility damage had actually cut the ferocious bear's 13 agility to 0 points.

Compared with the serious consequences of direct death when the constitution is zero, the agility zero will fall into a paralyzed state.

Chilling Touch is a three-ring spell, but it can cause 3-18 points of agility damage, of which the expected damage is 11 points, which is extremely cost-effective.

What's even more frightening is that it is a spell that does not require an saving throw or spell resistance.

The moment the attack is successful, it means that the spell has taken effect.

Basically, players who don't deliberately add a little agility can't stand his "shivering touch" blow.

Even after he can supermagic at no cost at level 6, with the addition of "maximum spell" and "empowered spell", the expected agility damage of "shivering touch" is a full 27 points.

Generally, creatures that are not legendary or born with high sensitivity cannot resist this move.

Even ordinary players were properly reduced to zero by him, and then fell into a state of paralysis.

Especially after Zhao Xuri was able to use the five rings "Lucky Wave", he would be able to make his blow a sure hit.

"Lucky Wave" + Ultimate Spell Effect and "Shivering Touch" Spell Enhancement, this set of killer combination, as long as the opponent is not immune to attribute damage, otherwise no matter how strong it is, he will be killed all the way.

In the end, the originally paralyzed ferocious bear finally failed its saving throw under the continuous tests of the soul prisoner. The huge body weighing three to four tons lost its ability to support in an instant, and fell heavily to the ground, which also made everyone feel the vibration of the ground .

At this time, a tiny bear-shaped creature also appeared in the rib of the prisoner's chest. Everyone was a little terrified when they saw this scene, knowing that it was the soul of a dire bear.

After losing the soul, even if someone uses the resurrection technique on the dire bear corpse on the ground, it will have no effect.

The Soul Prisoner also relied on the 12HD Dire Bear, and directly obtained 60 points of energy, which can be used for it to cast sixty spell-like abilities.

At this time, according to Zhao Xu's instructions, the soul prisoner immediately consumed the energy he had just obtained, and cast him the "true knowing technique" with the five rings of the priest and the sixth ring of the mage.

Suddenly, a wave of pure prophecy magic energy, which was real and deceptive, poured into Zhao Xu's eyes.

The world in front of me has become clearer and more real at this moment, and there is no longer any room for falsehood.

True seeing is a minute-level spell, and the caster level of the soul prisoner's spell-like ability is level 18.

So in the next 18 minutes, Zhao Xu will be able to see through the darkness and magic darkness, as well as the secret door hidden by magic. At the same time, all illusions, invisibility, and transformation will be invisible.

The Soul Prisoner had a full 60 points, enough for Zhao Xu to enjoy the effect of this spell for the next 18 hours.

But Frost Sword asked his subordinates to disassemble the bear corpse temporarily, and took away some more precious bear skins and bear bile parts first.

"It's tricky to put a huge corpse here. It's easy to attract other animals." Frost Sword said feeling a little headache.

"Brother, don't be stupid, just now the bear roared twice, it has already disturbed the nearby creatures." Ji Xue said.

Zhao Xu had already returned to the horse and continued to flip through his magic books. He was a little embarrassed to hear this.

In fact, he has prepared a silence technique, which can completely center on the bear, so that there is no sound for a full six meters, which naturally affects the spells with the sound component of the spell.

It's just that "Silence" is a priest's second-level spell. With a priest at the scene, Zhao Xu didn't want to show his ability to cast magic, so he didn't stop the ferocious bear from roaring.

As soon as Shuang Jian heard it, he didn't continue to struggle, and directly directed everyone to move on.

When the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the lake and everything was about to return to silence, Zhao Xu and his party also arrived near Jingyue Lake. There were stones around the lake half a meter high for people to walk on.

"Mr. Kuangfeng, tonight's exploration will probably last a long time, so all of us have to go offline temporarily to solve the problem of eating. We can only wrong you to wait here for a while, or we can go offline in batches." Shi Shuangjian asked Zhao Xu for advice.

In his opinion, it is best to go down and up together, and avoid the risk of being defeated one by one, but this is the most risky for the Gale Mage.

"I can be invisible, so it won't be a big problem. Let's go down together." Zhao Xu was the same, and had to go offline for a meal.

He still has a concert to go in two days, so naturally he has to solve the task of this mage tower in these three days.

Otherwise, if there is gold in the tower, he will have to run away.

"Huh?" Suddenly a wanderer made a low voice of doubt, and everyone's spirits tensed up instantly.

Zhao Xu was no exception. While preparing to cast a spell, he looked over.

The wanderer was holding a snow-white rabbit in his hand, grinning with his teeth showing, "It's a lost hare that broke into the crowd."

Hearing this, the players in the guild laughed happily. They had just finished beating the dire bear, and when they saw the rabbit suddenly, they were still kind-hearted.

It's just that Zhao Xu's face was extremely serious. The players who noticed this for a moment were silent and looked at Zhao Xu in surprise.

"What's the matter, Mister Kuangfeng?" Shuangjian also asked cautiously.

Zhao Xu kept scanning his surroundings, and then spoke in a low voice after a while.

"Where does a rabbit in the wild get its snow-white color?"
