The Truth of Magic

Chapter 40 Invalidation and Immunity

Hearing what Antinoya said, Zhao Xu showed a look of astonishment.

hit?

Easier said than done?

Zhao Xu was just a level 1 mage, and wanted to hit Antinoya with a level 1 spell?

He didn't act rashly, but raised his guard and looked at the other party with a look of full precaution.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were no spectators at the scene, he would have been considered the defender.

Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu and nodded slightly. She was quite satisfied with Zhao Xu's cautious performance.

"Don't worry, there is a premise, that is, every time you attack me, the means I use will never be used again."

Antinoya's echo echoed throughout the circular arena.

Will not be using again.

"What about immunity?" Zhao Xu asked.

For some negative spells to take effect, the subject must fail the saving throw (one of toughness, reflection, and will).

Antinoya was born with a high level and had a high immunity, not a level 1 rookie like him who could penetrate it.

"Our bet is not whether it works or not. If you can make me need an immunity, I will count it as a hit."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu realized that Antinoya wasn't trying to show him his strength.

Instead, let him realize how many methods a high-level mage has to resist the opponent's attack.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu was no longer excited or anxious.

Suddenly Antinoya remembered and said, "Also, you just used a first-level spell, and now you only have another first-level spell left. To be fair, next, this is the magic missile you just used scroll."

A scroll drew a beautiful parabola, which fell right into Zhao Xu's palm.

After Zhao Xu picked it up, he took a deep breath.

He now has three zero-level spell slots, one first-level spell slot, and a magic missile scroll.

Gradually, with his breathing evenly, Zhao Xu got rid of all the emotions that affected his thinking, and any gains or losses seemed to disappear.

He stared at Antinoya who was about a few meters away from him.

For a moment, Zhao Xu was in a trance, as if Antinoya was casting a spell.

He blinked immediately, but saw nothing.

Among the eight schools of magic, they are divided into eight schools of protection, evocation, conjuration, necromancy, illusion, transformation, enchantment, and prophecy.

Zhao Xu only had zero-level spells that covered all factions, and only six first-level spells.

He didn't have many options for the spell that hit Antinoya.

After taking a deep breath, Zhao Xu grabbed a handful of powder from the spell material bag in his pocket, mixed with red, yellow and blue.

While holding the spell material, he raised his hand and began to chant and cast the spell.

Colorful spray!

A colorful stream of dazzling light covered Zhao Xu's front in a cone shape.

Zhao Xu completed this kind of spell with a casting time of only standard actions in a blink of an eye, not as long as he had to dig out the materials.

The fan-shaped coverage area with a radius of nearly 5 meters immediately enveloped Antinoya's body.

Although Antinoya has exceeded level 20, that is, the life dice exceeds 20 hd.

But the reason why the colorful spray can last for so long is that even creatures with 5 HD and above, as long as it takes effect, it can still shock a round of time.

Being unable to move for one round means losing most of its defense power, so the negative state of "shock and awe" is extremely domineering.

However, when the light dissipated, Antinoya still didn't say anything, and didn't care about it at all.

"Spell resistance directly resists your spells. Next, I will give up the spell resistance and you continue."

Antinoya's words were very calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

Zhao Xu shook his head, trying to wake himself up.

Spell resistance and immunity are the two twins of Arthur's spells. Basically, many spells that control and attack the enemy need to break through the enemy's spell resistance first, and then break through the immunity before they can take effect.

It's just that spell resistance is usually only available to some monsters or even other races. Humans don't have natural magic resistance.

It now appears that Antinoya just cast a spell to give her spell resistance.

Or, from the very beginning when she appeared, she was possessed of spell resistance.

Zhao Xu's actions did not pause either. He directly grabbed the scroll that Antinoya had given him in his hand, and chanted directly at the spell on it.

A missile made of magic power appeared in his hand again and flew straight towards Antinoya.

He is already familiar with casting spells this time.

Magic missiles require spell resistance, but ignore saving throws.

However, just under Zhao Xu's nose, just before the magic missile was about to approach Antinoya.

It was as if there was an invisible giant wall in front of her, and the magic missile dissipated in place, not even touching the corner of Antinoya's clothes.

"Level 4 spells and secondary spells are ineffective enchantment. It can resist spells from 1st to 3rd levels. Next, I will give up this spell, and you continue."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu finally realized how oppressive high-level mages were to low-level spells.

Could it be that Antinoya, who was covered by this spell, was helpless until he reached level 7 and could cast level 4 spells.

However, Zhao Xu would not be discouraged, and said whatever he said.

He concentrated, analyzed Antinoya again, and tried to think about what methods he could take.

After casting spells before, he has used up all the first-level spells including scrolls.

Now he only has three zero-level spells left.

This also means that he still has 3 chances.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu continued casting spells and singing.

Acid splash!

A small acid ball condensed out of Zhao Xu's palm out of thin air, and then flew towards Antinoya.

This zero-level spell, which hits creatures within a short distance, deals 1D3 acid damage, requires no saving throws, and requires no resistance.

It's just that such spells with ballistic trajectories require a long-range contact attack test, which is equivalent to Zhao Xu's projectiles, and there is a possibility that the opponent can block them or dodge them with their defense.

However, Antinoya was still like a wood carving, and when the little acid ball was about to touch her, it suddenly staggered like this.

It hit the ground directly, making a slight hissing sound.

The surface of the arena was blessed, and the small pits that had just been corroded by the acid immediately returned to their original state.

And Antinoya didn't seem to be the target of the spell in the first place.

"Impossible." Zhao Xu muttered to himself.

If the little acid ball disappeared immediately, he wouldn't say a word.

But now it's skewed?

"Level 4 spell ray deflection, immune to long-range touch attacks, including ray spells and biological ray attacks, next I will give up this spell, you continue."

Hearing what Antinoya said, Zhao Xu could only be convinced.

Others don't even need to pass the test, they are directly immune.

The latter sentence also advised him not to try to use ray spells.

At this moment, Zhao Xu realized that there was already a little sweat on his forehead, which was about to drip at any moment. Antinoya's action of standing and waiting for him to launch an offensive put too much pressure on him.

Zhao Xu suddenly had an idea.

He wiped off a drop of sweat on the spot, held it in his palm and wiped it evenly, and used it as a spell material to cast the "Touch of Tiredness" spell.

After the spell was cast, a blue light condensed on his palm.

Zhao Xu rushed forward immediately. If he didn't touch Antinoya within a round, the spell would fail. .

Just as he sprinted to within reach of Antinoya, he waved his arm towards Antinoya.

Antinoya is immune to long-range touch attacks.

So what about his melee touch attack?
