The Truth of Magic

Chapter 363 Offensive and defensive cracking

Along with the daylight-like light illuminating the entire dilapidated house, between the junction of darkness and light, the stimulation of light spots projected on the retina made everyone's vision temporarily become blank.

In the past, when Zhao Xu could only cast second-ring spells, he faced the "fear of chestnut binding spirit" who was afraid of light.

Before he could use the third-level "Daylight spell", he used the second-level holy magic "Bright Armor".

Taking advantage of the characteristic that this radiant armor will automatically release the third-ring spell "Daylight", the "Fear Bound Spirit" with a challenge level of level 11 will be in a disabled state.

At this moment, out of the idea of ​​saving third-ring spells, he directly used second-ring spells to achieve the effect of third-ring spells.

Undoubtedly, when their torches were blocked by darkness just now, the biggest possibility was the "darkness spell", a spell that could swallow light and make enemies without dark vision lose their sight.

But the daylight spell can counter and dispel all dark spells of the same ring or lower ring.

In this brief moment, it might be the monster of the old hag, who used the "dark spell" and "sleep spell" to suppress their team.

Zhao Xu used "Daybreak" to wake up everyone to remove the "Sleep Art", and "Daylight Art" to restrain the "Darkness Art".

Just in the blink of an eye, a round of magic attack and defense was completed.

In fact, ordinary sorcerers and priests simply couldn't do this, or they could only rely on scrolls to deal with it, and they didn't have the speed and reaction of Zhao Xu who relied on spontaneous casting.

At this time, as everyone's sight began to recover.

"Ah—" The timid people present couldn't help screaming.

On the top beams of the burnt house crouched a hideous-looking human female, staring at them.

The skin of its whole body was blue-purple like a bruise, and it was densely covered with festering pustules and sores. Under the dark black hair that is as messy as a chicken coop, there are jagged yellow teeth like a beast, mixed with a hooked nose and red eyes that look like burning coals, which are more beautiful than the old witches in black fairy tales. It's embarrassing.

"It's an old hag. This kind of creature likes to use the sleep technique first, and then strangles the sleeping creatures one by one." Zhao Xu shouted.

It's just that the old hag continued to smile ferociously while looking at Zhao Xu and the others.

She was dressed in torn rags, with a skull that looked like a human being hanging from her body, and a stick made from the leg bone of a large beast was pinned to her waist.

The old hag directly raised the stick in her hand and continued to whisper incantations at Zhao Xu and the others.

"It still needs to use the sleep technique." Zheng Xinyun, who had been given an additional "Bright Armor" by Zhao Xu at this time, which increased his defense by one level, couldn't help but said.

Even though she suddenly entered the scene in this horror movie, she felt a little nervous inside, but she was still analyzing it vigorously at this moment.

"Shoot." Captain Chuck also shouted decisively.

In fact, seeing such a terrifying thing, and it was still on the beam near the ceiling, they didn't have time to go forward to assassinate it at all, and they could only gamble that they could shoot a few arrows first before falling asleep again.

However, even though Chuck had compressed the command into one byte, it was transmitted to everyone's minds along with the voice, and then transformed into movements in the hands through consciousness, and finally aimed at the old hag and pulled the trigger.

After all, it takes time.

As for Arthur's battle, sometimes it's not about you cutting me, I cutting you, dragging each other dozens of times, and fighting whose will will last until the end.

In the case where one party has a trump card, it is very likely that whoever makes the first move will directly settle the situation.

At this time, Elton saw that the old hag was about to finish the last syllable, and also noticed that the other party's smile was getting bigger and bigger, and it was almost time to finish casting the spell.

It's just that his awareness is sufficient, but the light crossbow in his hand hasn't even aimed at the old hag, and he can't pull the trigger at all.

Although he lost his vision just now and couldn't see clearly, the captain Zhong Xia's spell to wake everyone up is generally second to none.

Even this second sleep technique, whether he can survive it is still unknown.

Moreover, the first-ring spell "Sleep" is a spell-like ability that the old hag can cast at will. But for Zhong Xia, the "solution" is once used, and it will be lost once.

"Sleep!"

After all, the old hag took advantage of the few seconds it took everyone to recover their vision, and managed to release this spell that required a full round of casting time.

The long casting time is also another shortcoming of "sleep spell" besides the small range of action, but this does not affect its reputation as a top-notch spell.

However, in an earlier moment just before that.

A moment that no one realizes.

A sacred and gentle ball of light had already appeared in Zhao Xu's hand, which once again touched Zheng Xinyun's body and continued to cast spells on her.

Countless sacred energy particles were aroused from Zheng Xinyun's body and permeated within a three-meter radius with her as the center.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you cast the third-ring spell "Anti-Evil Circle" on Zheng Xinyun, duration: 10 minutes/level]

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you are within the scope of the "anti-evil magic circle", you get a ring spell "protection against evil" effect. 】

After the old hag's sleep technique, none of the people present fell down due to the sleep technique, and everyone couldn't help turning their eyes to Zhao Xu.

Only this strong man can do this.

Everyone even faintly noticed that their own defense and immunity had been slightly improved.

At the moment, Chuck is also staring blankly at his character card panel, and he is looking at the three major effects of protecting against evil.

Defense + Tier 2 deflection bonus! (fight against evil)

Saving + 2nd level resistance bonus! (fight against evil)

Immune to the effects of enchantment (charm) and enchantment (coercion)!

And hypnotism is exactly the effect of the control system (coercion).

That's why Zhao Xu stopped paying attention to the old hag's other spells after he first considered the threat of the "magic missile".

In fact, before Zhao Xu entered the room, he didn't think there was really anything hidden in it.

It's just that the contact spell can't last for 24 hours, so he didn't cast the anti-evil magic circle with a duration of 10 minutes per level in advance. As for the other spells cast, they actually lasted for 24 hours, so it wouldn't hurt to cast them in advance.

"Don't be in a daze, shoot." Chuck hurriedly shouted after reacting at this time.

In an instant, following Chuck's order, one after another shot out of everyone's light crossbows, shooting towards the old hag.

Although most of them failed, they were even directly blocked by the old hag's skin with an 11th-level strength just because of its natural armor.

Until an arrow, with great luck, landed on its wound, directly inserted into the skin.

The old hag's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, it was actually broken.

It knows that this group of ordinary people is powerless to break through its defenses, so there must be something strange about it.

Immediately afterwards, another arrow with great luck landed on the wound, penetrated into its skin again, and successfully broke through the defense.

In fact, it didn't even occur to Chuck that they could shoot the old hag with a crossbow bolt.

He couldn't help shouting happily: "Okay."

Chuck naturally didn't think that it was his and others' archery skills. He knew that it was the "praise" that Mr. Zhong Xia blessed them and the secret lock they sensed from the old hag (dark knowledge).

The improvement of this level 5 attack gave them the possibility to break through the defense!

As long as the defense can be broken, there is a possibility that more ants will kill the elephant.

Even if an ordinary person has the ability to shoot an arrow through the old hag, it is useless, because before he consumes the old hag to death, he will be torn apart by the other party.

However, there were more than ten of them present.

However, the old hag didn't even move her hand, the arrow that had been inserted into her body was just squeezed out from the wound.

As if it had a powerful healing ability, it directly eliminated the damage of the arrow, and even they couldn't see the painful expression in each other's eyes.

"It's damage reduction!" Elton shouted immediately, "The opponent can reduce damage by at least 10 points. Only magic weapons or cold iron weapons can break through this kind of damage reduction."

This sound directly silenced all the people present.

Because of the cost of arrows, even if they can be recycled, most poor melee professionals choose melee weapons.

In the current situation, under the premise that Mrs. Betty drew out the elite weapons at that time, such an elite cavalry with all light crossbows was assembled.

But they don't even have +1 magic melee weapons, let alone magic long-range weapons.

The old hag, who sensed the falsehood of the people in the audience, immediately made up her mind, and immediately rushed to the audience, rushing towards Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu, who just became the target, looked contemptuously and continued to cast the next spell unhurriedly.

He is now at level 28 defense, let this old hag bite, can it bite?

At the same time, Zhao Xu had already raised the super magic scepter in his hand, as if he was about to wave it at the old hag in front of him.
