The Truth of Magic

Chapter 394 Melee Damage Explosive

Compared with the super giant mutant scorpion with 300HP, the giant has dropped by half and only has 150HP, the super large has halved and left 75HP, and the large one has 32HP.

Even down to the medium 13HP and small 6HP below, Vivienne can solve it with a single sword strike.

In order to increase his attack power, Zhao Xu's first reaction was to cast his eyes on the two knowledge damage-increasing abilities that could increase his attack and damage.

Insect creatures are not within the scope of dark knowledge, and its time is limited, so Zhao Xu doesn't consider it.

His knowledge and piety ability can be used at this time, as long as he fights with the corresponding creature, it can be improved.

Insect creatures belong to the category of natural knowledge, and Zhao Xu has only added this skill to level 5 now. With the 9 intelligence adjustment value brought by his 28 intelligence, his knowledge (nature) skill is level 14.

And as long as his skill check is higher, the attack and damage bonus he gets will be higher.

Now Zhao Xu is no longer the kind of rookie who used to do all the tricks to get a little bit of skill bonus.

For the skill bonuses that others can't do anything about, all he has to consider is whether it's worth it to lose the spell slot.

Zhao Xu immediately cast two ring spells that could increase any skill level.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you cast a ring of warlock spell "Skill Strengthening", the selected knowledge (nature) gets a 7th-level environment bonus (7=2+level 11/2), duration: 110 minutes (10 minutes per level )]

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you cast the first-ring mage spell "Song of Knowledge" (the spell lasts), and the selected knowledge (natural) gets a 10th-level performance bonus (10=4+level 12/2), duration: 24 hours ( Originally 12 rounds)]

In an instant, Zhao Xu's level 14 knowledge (nature) skills were suddenly strengthened by level 17, soaring to level 31.

With just two simple but inaccessible one-ring spells, Zhao Xu had piled up his knowledge and skills to the point of a master.

In other words, it is a level that most players will find it difficult to reach in their entire lives.

At this time, Zhao Xu could continue to cast spells, such as the second ring's divine knowledge spell, which could give all knowledge and skills a level 10 insight bonus.

This means that he can continue to improve to level 41 knowledge skills.

That means that in the source of knowledge, the secrets below the 41st level of difficulty are no longer secrets to him. Even if the 61st level of difficulty is perfect, he may be able to retrieve it successfully.

Basically, the world has become transparent to him.

Level 41 knowledge and skills are connected to the source of knowledge, and he can get any gossip insider he wants.

Even after Zhao Xu accepted Vivienne before, with the support of knowledge (foreign world) skills stacked to level 41, he retrieved a secret of level 44 difficulty - the appearance of the demon mother, Cang Ye, made her I feel terrified, any creature staring at Cang Ye's true face will die.

But at this time, Zhao Xu's focus was not on gossip, and he continued to improve his attack.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you have activated "knowledge devotion", and against mutant scorpion creatures, your knowledge (nature) check is level 42 (30+D20), beyond the fifth level of difficulty level 36, your attack and damage gain +5 level Insight bonus]

After getting the insight bonus of level 5 attack, Zhao Xu's attack power exceeded level 11.

At this time, once he came into contact with the mutant scorpion, the ability brought by the insight bonus would make it easier for him to see through the mutant scorpion's flaws and break through his defenses.

Zhao Xu, who had an 11th-level attack, no longer needed to increase his attack power.

Because the mutant scorpion itself has an average defense level of more than ten to twenty levels, which is based on natural defensive armor.

With the blessing of the long-lasting "ghost strike", he can completely penetrate all armor.

For those mutant scorpions, from ultra-small to super-giant, the defense without armor is all 10th rank or even lower.

Therefore, the current Zhao Xu was a must-hit existence for the mutant scorpion.

Even if he swung an extremely clumsy blow, he could still penetrate the mutant scorpion's defense and cause damage under the correction of his ability, or by luck, or by pinpointing a weak point.

Even the leading soldiers of the fleeing team at the foot of the mountain couldn't imagine that they were powerless to penetrate the defense before, and now they were like paper in front of Zhao Xu.

A ghost strike technique paired with knowledge and devotion abilities that have been stacked with knowledge skills is so terrifying.

Vivienne also seemed to be aware of Zhao Xu's strangeness at this moment, and asked, "President, have you increased your attack power?"

Zhao Xu nodded and smiled.

"It's just that if you want to rely on the stick in your hand, the damage is too low." Vivian frowned slightly.

The damage output by Arthur's weapon is divided into two parts: area damage and fixed damage.

Area damage is naturally the damage of the weapon itself, and the final damage depends on the location, depth, and even the strength of the attack.

For example, after a lot of statistics on the wooden stick, its damage range is very clear. The small wooden stick is 1-4 (1D4), and the medium-sized wooden stick is 1-6 (1D6) points.

Fixed damage is strength additional damage, and other fixed additional damage.

Now Zhao Xu could deal 1-6 points of floating damage to the Mutant scorpion with just a random tap.

In terms of fixed damage, there are as follows: -1 (strength), 5 (insight/knowledge piety), 3 (luck/praise), 2 (magic weapon), a total of 9 points.

Therefore, he caused 10-15 points of damage in one blow, which was quite satisfactory.

But among the players, that is already a good existence.

At least if he tapped lightly, it meant the death of a medium-sized mutant scorpion.

As long as Zhao Xu was willing to sacrifice a 1st ring spell, the damage he would do in that round would be doubled, reaching 20-30 points of damage output.

Ordinary second- and third-level fighters only have this blood volume, and they are all in the category of being beaten to death by his mage.

Next, Zhao Xu and Vivian, who had re-dressed, set off to find the mysterious mutant scorpion lair.

Although the view of the valley at night was not good, but with the same treasure chest in the lair, they quickly located their approximate position.

Vivienne also used her level 12 search skills,

After roughly searching the area of ​​hundreds of square meters, they found a cave. The cave itself is not spacious, and the giant is already very reluctant. I am afraid that the ultra-giant mutant scorpion can only rely on its own arbitrary door ability to enter and exit. pass through

And Vivienne squatted down and gently grabbed a stiff lump, as if feeling the hardness.

"what is this?"

"The droppings of mutant scorpions, that's indeed their lair down there." Vivienne directly crushed the lump in her hand without any psychological pressure.

Zhao Xu had a slight pain in his stomach.

He remembered a time when Zhang Qi and him went on an adventure in his previous life. After Zhang Qi fell into a strange cloud of mud, all the monsters around him felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. captured by them.

Afterwards, Zhang Qi deliberately went back to dig out the lump of mud and transported it home to worship.

They planned to take a mud bath to strengthen their courage before going to battle in the future, so they almost made this the rule of their old Zhang family.

Until one time, a businessman told Zhang Qi that the mud was wet dragon dung.

"President, shall we go in?" Vivienne asked for instructions. At this moment, she had already raised the Holy Avenger in her hand, ready to hit her head in front of her.

"Wait a minute, I'll add another spell," Zhao Xu said softly.

At this time, there was a trace of seriousness in his eyes.

"Before I wasn't sure if I could really find this lair, so I only used one ring of spell blessing. Now that I'm sure, I can continue to increase the number."

Zhao Xu didn't just intend to kill a medium and large mutant scorpion with one stick.

He has a level 3 basic attack, but he hasn't reached level 6, so he can't comprehend the combo ability.

So Zhao Xu can usually drive all the strength in his body to launch an attack in one round.

In the quick acceleration technique, he could barely add one more attack.

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he raised his hand and began to cast spells.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you use the third-ring spell "Advanced Extraordinary Slam" to increase the damage of your stick from 1-6 for medium-sized weapons to 3-18 for giant weapons (3D6), duration: 12 hours]

But the bigger the weapon, the stronger the damage it can cause.

It's just that without that body type, you can't hold the corresponding weapon at all.

And the high level extraordinary slam instantly made the weapon held by Zhao Xu's medium-sized body become the same damage as a wooden stick held by a giant giant.

It directly crushed the damage of all medium-sized weapons.

At this time, the "wooden stick" that looked ordinary in his hand - the rune staff of power, immediately gave off a circle of halo, as if his body had grown several times invisibly.

At this time, Zhao Xu's wooden stick could cause 12-27 damage with a single blow, expecting about 20 hp, and the double damage of activating the staff was 40 hp.

However, Zhao Xu was not satisfied, and the casting process did not stop at all.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you cast a ring of paladin magic "Rhino's Charge" (spell lasts), your first attack after each round of charge will cause double damage, and last for 24 hours (1 round)]

In an instant, this spell, which originally lasted for one round, allowed Zhao Xu's first attack after each round of charge to deal double damage of 40 hp, and then he could perform combo attacks with the effect of the acceleration spell, and also had 20 hp damage.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu was finally satisfied.

As long as he activates the ability of the rune staff to double the damage, then the two sticks after the charge will triple the base damage.

That is, a huge damage output of 60 (rhino + staff) + 40 (staff) = 100HP.

Arthur's doubling is calculated as doubling, so doubling twice is not quadruple damage, but triple.

At this moment, Vivian saw the light of the weapon in Zhao Xu's hand and understood what he was doing.

In other words, she had also seen this kind of behavior in that May lady.

Even the other party has the same "power rune staff" in his hand.

"President, Ms. May also likes to add the 'fearless' ability to double the charge damage to the stick."

At this moment, Zhao Xu was a little taken aback, fearless?

He seemed to have some impressions, and directly took out a copy of Arthur's Weapon Enchanting Encyclopedia that he was looking at recently from his backpack.

Then he immediately located this ability, and then smiled secretly, "It's really rare that there is such a good effect in the weapon enchantment with +1 value."

Like the weapon Wukong, it has +5 value over there, and the beheading effect is also +5 value.

And the general +1 value is the quite general enchantment effect of Nether.

At this time, Zhao Xu had just stacked his weapon to triple the damage. Seeing this scene, why wasn't he excited.

He immediately read the enchanting effect in detail.

Ordinary people also customize weapons, and they will only refer to and use these contents before enchanting them.

But Zhao Xu really had a spell that could temporarily enchant weapons.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you cast a ring of warlock spell "Self-use Enhanced Weapon", temporarily add "+1" enchantment effect to the weapon or the effect of no more than 3000 gold coins, duration: 110 minutes]

In an instant, the power rune staff in Zhao Xu's hand became a + 2 fearless stick on the character card.

It's a pity that he hasn't reached the level of the sixth ring, otherwise the high-level enhanced weapons he casts at that time can temporarily add a +5 bonus enchantment ability.

But no matter what, Zhao Xu's charge damage after activating the staff at this time has become a terrifying output of 80 HP (4 times) + 60 HP (3 times) = 140 HP.

Double the Rhino Charge, double the Staff Power, and double the Fearless Power.

A giant mutant scorpion was standing in front of him now, and it was a matter of knocking to death with two sticks.

If Zhao Xu obtains stronger spells in the future, he can continue to improve in terms of strength, enchantment, and expertise.

Basically, he continues to improve according to his thinking today, and even the current spells can be used by him even in legends.

When he improves a few rings, his damage output in one round will not be the current 150 HP, but thousands of damage output.

Knocking down the dragon in one round is no longer a fantasy.

"Go in, Vivian." Zhao Xu put the power rune staff on his shoulder and walked in slowly.

At this moment, Vivienne looked at Zhao Xu's back and felt as if the remnants of countless mutant scorpions were howling.

Tomorrow, I will finish writing at once in four more updates.
