The Truth of Magic

Chapter 528 Hard to hit, group suffocation

[PS: At the end of the last chapter, it should be the nine-ring 'soul-binding technique', not the eight-ring 'soul-binding technique'. 】

Each resurrection stone is a nine-ring "full resurrection technique" that is automatically triggered.

It can be said that the resurrection stone can be regarded as the "strongest" means of resurrection under the supernatural means of "killing and seizing" the gods.

However, the premise of its function is "the soul is willing to resurrect".

Just like a sailboat wants to float, it must first let it enter the sea.

I saw that the rogue, who was the first to attack after clamoring, was about to hand out the poison-extracting dagger in his hand during the sprint, and when he used the special method he had just learned.

Almost the vast majority of players in the field noticed that the phalanx staff held by Mage Zhong Xia inexplicably emitted a "mysterious green light".

It spread out like smoke, and when it approached, it seemed like splashing ink, just like that, it engulfed the whole body of the wanderer.

And in the next second, all the cameras began to reverse.

The gushing death energy directly pulled out a light blue soul energy from the sneak attacker's body, and then it turned into a miniature tornado, and slowly absorbed it back into the emerald green gemstone on the top of the staff.

It's just that everyone didn't notice it.

The moment Zhong Xia released the mysterious spell, the wanderer had already died quietly.

The soul binding technique just took away the remaining soul in his body.

There was no need for any additional movements to use the staff. Zhao Xu's movements were essentially using his silent spellcasting routine to hide movements and sounds.

In the end, relying on the "Spell Farther Shot" specialty, he cast the three-ring contact spell "Vampire's Touch" on the wanderer from a distance of several meters.

Under the premise of extreme effect, the 60 points of damage instantly wiped out the wanderer, and also brought Zhao Xu nearly 30 points of temporary health.

"ah!"

"what happened?"

"Is it an instant death spell?"

"How could it be? Death has seven rings."

"Looking at this special effect is very intrusive, isn't it?"

"As expected of being the number one player, a spell is so powerful."

"Maybe it's a low-level damage spell."

"Don't be stupid, do you think this kind of battle might be a low ring?"

For a while, everyone's discussions were disturbing.

But as long as you are not blind, everyone knows that the phalanx staff in Zhao Xu's hand is absolutely extraordinary.

It's just that at this moment, no one has guessed.

The wanderer did not go back to the Temple of Creation to be resurrected.

His soul was thus imprisoned in the top gemstone.

"Is that kid stupid? Why didn't you choose to resurrect to make the corpse disappear?" At this time, the other wanderers who encouraged the wanderer to fall into the sky and go up to find out first, also looked at what happened in front of them in amazement.

The first player, Zhong Xia, did not obtain the artifact in the Palace of Eldraine, and everyone only found out not long ago.

That's why they crouched down for many days, and finally waited for the moment when the player Zhong Xia placed his order.

For things like group fights, without this Zhong Xia speaking, the group of instigators behind the scenes will also act at the right time.

On the other hand, Zhao Xu gently picked up the legendary necromancer staff, blew on the smoke and dust on the gem, and walked slowly to the dead man's body.

As a nine-ring necromancy spell, "Soul Binding" is a permanent spell.

The spell sucks out the soul of a recently dead creature and traps it within a piece of dark sapphire.

Once imprisoned, the soul cannot be cloned, resurrected dead, reincarnated, resurrected, fully resurrected, or even miracles and wishes.

Only by destroying the gem or dispelling the magic on the gem can the soul be released.

The creature remains dead.

Suddenly, this group of wanderers stood up resolutely. The leader of the wanderers was a little short. He glared at Zhao Xu, "You killed our companion?"

"According to the rules of our fraternity, blood for blood, tooth for tooth."

In order for Chukong to probe Zhao Xu to the bottom, they gave him their best weapons and equipment, including a "venomous dagger" with a jagged edge worth more than 8,000 gold coins.

Who would have thought that a meeting would overturn the car.

At this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Isn't it already agreed to live and die at the beginning?"

In the already bustling Fountain Square, the players who simply came to join in the fun and thought the incident was not big enough could not help but burst out laughing.

"That's right, that's right, life and death are at your own risk, a Resurrection Stone challenge once, it's a good deal."

The leader of the wanderer's face froze. Looking at the still lingering corpse under Zhao Xu's feet, he told his companions, "Hurry up and let that fell into the sky choose to be resurrected, and pass the corpse back."

"Boss, the cooling time is at least 20 minutes. It's not so fast after you died just now." The companion on the side muttered.

"Idiot, then go offline and contact him, he may have forgotten to choose to resurrect directly, that idiot." The rogue player was obviously a little frustrated.

According to the name of the duel, even if the equipment on the corpse is taken away, it will be regarded as spoils of war and cannot be retrieved.

The magic weapon "Poisonous Dagger" of 8,000 gold coins is already worth four or five war horses. If it is gone, everyone will bleed.

"Is there no challenge?"

Zhao Xu turned his head and looked at the bustling people crowding around the fountain, just like the scene after the prosperity of Falling Star Town in the previous life.

Thanks to the local silver mines, the basic equipment of current players is satisfied, and they are no longer limited to simple weapons such as maces, sticks, and spears in the poor era.

Basically, as long as the professional system has mastered the special characteristics of "Military Weapons", there are not a few melee professional players who carry a two-handed giant sword worth 50 gold coins.

Some ranger players even carried a compound longbow that cost 100 gold coins to jump on their backs.

As for armor, unless it is a mage who will affect the casting action after piercing the armor, it will cause arcane spell failure, or a druid who cannot wear metal armor by nature.

Otherwise, in the category of light armor, thick cloth armor for 5 gold coins for Tier 1 armor defense, and leather armor for 10 gold coins for Tier 2 armor defense have gradually disappeared.

Even if it is a level 1 player, the inlaid leather armor with 25 gold coins and a level 3 defense is the mainstream.

Those players who can reach level 2 or level 3 will wear a chain armor shirt of level 4 defense that costs at least 100 gold coins.

Maybe the players didn't think about that, but as long as this group of well-equipped players is willing, they are already an elite force for unarmed civilian farmers who are only sticks, sticks, and hoes.

After the crossing, it was the defense team formed by these former players that saved many people on Earth who were unable to fight.

"If there is no challenger, then let's get out of the way," Zhao Xu said.

At this time, he said a word, and even a few players who stood in front of him unconsciously looked sideways under his prestige.

Even the domineering half-orc had to lower his head.

"superior!"

Suddenly, the wanderer who had just clamored to take revenge on Zhao Xu shouted, "He said they could be besieged, and we're taking revenge."

In an instant, the remaining rogue players who had been trained in the thieves' union together and killed and plundered together immediately came to their senses and rushed towards Zhao Xu with their thin swords drawn.

The other two took out their fine-made short bows, stretched them into a half-moon shape, and shot at Zhao Xu.

"If you explode him, there must be hundreds of thousands of gold coins in weapons and equipment, and we will get rich in an instant."

Realizing that he hadn't consumed the Zhongxia player's spell slot first, the leader of the rogue player also shouted at the opportunity, trying to muddy the water.

"That's right, no matter how many big bosses you fight, you don't have such a burst rate!"

At the same moment, a half-orc warrior in the corner also shouted, and was about to strike at Zhao Xu with a huge ax in his hand.

And Zhang Qi behind him didn't expect that the scene would be aroused by the "boss" all of a sudden.

The Zhongxia in front of him is no longer the original first player, but a "treasure chest" covered with gold leaf and exuding the luster of wealth.

He also hurriedly called to his classmates, "Come and block them together."

Zhao Xu, who was in the center of the vortex, waved lightly at Zhang Qi and the others behind him, stopping their actions.

Then the legendary necromancer in his hand was switched to a "super magic instant scepter" via "storage gloves".

"Advanced mirror image [spell lasting]."

Zhao Xu slid his staff lightly in his hand, and with the sound of incantations, he instantly cast this four-ring spell, which was an evolution of the second-ring mirror image technique.

Eight mirror images exactly like him appeared around Zhao Xu in an instant.

At the same time, these mirror images are doing exactly the same movements as him, and even intersect with him from time to time, making it impossible to judge who is the real body.

Moreover, the advanced mirror image technique of the fourth ring, compared with the version of the second ring, can generate a new mirror image every round.

This is still an "intuitive spell", which can be released first even if it is attacked by surprise.

In an instant, the players who were trying to attack Zhao Xu were dazzled.

No matter how they wield a weapon, they can only find one target to attack.

"Nine, what should we do?" The players who came up from the siege immediately discovered the problem.

"It's the mirror image technique of the second ring. Don't be afraid. Let's use it together. These illusions will be shattered in one blow." A player who understands this spell shouted.

These players who came up to fight and tried to steal chickens are very clear.

Those who want to fish in troubled waters need more time than Zhong Xia, as long as they delay for a while, when the crowds and even the patrols come, order will come here again.

Hearing this, a ranger immediately let go of the bowstring in his hand, and shot towards an unknown target at will.

"Bang." There was a strange sound, and among the mirror images, the "Zhong Xia" who was hit by the arrow but bounced away appeared to be unscathed.

"It's him, he is the main body!" The few people who reacted quickly were instantly overjoyed.

It's just that another arrow shot at the same time also landed on another "Zhong Xia", and it reacted quickly to dodge it.

"What the hell?"

"Two bodies?"

Seeing the rest of them hesitate, the leader of the rogue players also shouted, "Don't be stupid, the mirror image also has a defense level, but it's very rubbish, almost like a commoner."

"So don't care who is real and who is fake, let's do it together for a second. I think he can perform a few mirror images."

Zhao Xu smiled silently.

The defense of the mirror image is the base level 10, plus body size adjustment and agility adjustment.

Zhao Xu said that his agility had piled up to 18 points, rather than 12 points, which is considered a good agility attribute for ordinary mages.

His "mirror image" is naturally more resistant.

It's just that after a violent barbarian managed to chop off a mirror image, he suddenly discovered that a "mirror image" had been regenerated in the venue.

The regenerated mirror image means that they will always only have a one-ninth hit probability when attacking the nine midsummers.

"how come?"】

"Isn't it too perverted? Reset?" This scene made these adventurers who had finally cut off a mirror image make frustrated voices.

"No more? Then it's my turn?"

At this time, the nine Zhong Xia dressed in magic robes spoke, and they opened and closed their mouths together, seemingly mechanically but somewhat strangely, which further deepened the pressure in everyone's hearts.

"I'll go, Miao." Zhang Qi also said with emotion at this time, "Mage has this spell, so he won't be afraid of being killed by Liu Ya, and he still has the ability to save his life."

Seeing Zhao Xu's rhetorical question, a player suddenly reacted and shouted, "I have a solution, just close your eyes and treat him as invisible, and we will attack blindly."

"good!"

Hearing this statement, the group of players who participated in the siege were overjoyed and realized that this was also a solution.

They just treated Zhao Xu as an invisible creature, and it didn't make sense for the other party to have a hundred mirror images.

"I'm really confident." Cui Lu shook her head, "This way Zhong Xia is completely hidden from them, which means the attack only has a 50% success rate."

"One-half is better than one-ninth." Squad leader Fang Xiyue nodded, "The mirror image technique, which could have been cracked, made up for the battery life after the mirror image was generated. But in fact, as long as it is enough Hurry up, it can be cracked if the image recovery speed can't catch up, but these people are panicked."

"The duration of the mirror image is a round-level spell. According to Mr. Zhong Xia's casting level, in fact, after a few more rounds, those mirror images will disappear." Feng Ge looked and added.

"Well, so basically it's enough to procrastinate." Cui Lu also looked worriedly at everything that happened in the arena.

At this time, no one knew that Zhao Xu had used the "durable spell" specialty, even if these people spent a day here, these mirror images would not disappear.

And Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing when he watched everyone close their eyes and treat him like an invisible creature.

There are too many chicken thief players now, and they who have suffered from invisible losses, even if they don't have the second-level perverted spell of "Flash Dust", they basically bring flour with their hands, and sprinkle it if something goes wrong.

On the contrary, Zhao Xu didn't have to do anything to make these people fall into complete blindness.

But, is it really that easy to hit him?

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu continued to slide the scepter in his hand, stirring up the mysterious energy in the air, and the torrent of arcane magic manifested immediately.

"Flash."

In the next second, Zhao Xu's body began to switch between the main material plane and the ether plane.

"Oh my god! It's a flash!"

"How do you fight this?"

At this moment, everyone who opened their eyes after being yelled in surprise, just watched, Zhong Xia on the opposite side flashed in and out of the real world very quickly and disorderly.

Even his mirror image disappeared and reappeared.

This meant that when they launched a physical attack on Zhao Xu, the other party might have switched to the spirit world.

Therefore, under the original 50% blindness penalty of missing attacks, it has to bear another 50% miss probability caused by flash.

25%!

This was the cruel probability of this group of people hitting Zhao Xu in front of them.

This has not yet reached the defense settlement and damage reduction settlement when successfully attacking Zhao Xu.

Everyone who was still ready to move, also stopped at this moment.

Zhao Xu smiled slightly, "So, it's my turn now?"

"We surrender!" One of the players shouted hastily. At this moment, he only has the last resurrection stone left, and he doesn't want to log out of the whole character because of this.

"Yes, yes, you can't kill us in public, the guards won't let you go." Another halfling poet said something he didn't quite believe.

"If you release the 'Fireball Technique', it will definitely hurt other innocent players or civilians."

For the entire round just now, this Mr. Zhong Xia was able to do anything with ease, as if he allowed them to attack.

Reminiscent of the power of the fireball technique of the third-ring mage, those third and fourth-level players naturally felt that they could survive, but the first- and second-level players somewhat panicked.

"Ah."

Zhao Xu smiled at the 20 or so enemies who had attacked just now, "It's not just the fireball technique that kills a mage."

Then he ruthlessly waved the super magic instant scepter in his hand again.

"Extreme spell effect: group oppression and suffocation."

[Adventurer xx, you are subject to the fourth-ring spell "group oppression and suffocation", you are the target of "oppression and suffocation", you suffer 60 points of non-lethal damage (10D6), and you fall into a coma. 】

in an instant.

All the players who had just besieged Zhao Xu's non-lethal damage directly exploded, turning them into corpses and falling down on the spot.

It caused the panic of countless spectators present.

The time travel story begins during the National Day holiday.
