The Truth of Magic

216 the positive energy key

zhao xu’s fireball exploded in an area of over a hundred square meters, which was equivalent to the area of a normal three-bedroom apartment.

Zhao Xu’s face turned red from the light of the fire.

In front of him, not a single Skeleton Warrior could successfully stand.

It was impossible to even describe their miserable state, because they had been blown into pieces and burned to ashes by the fireball’s explosive power.

There were only a few mummies that were left behind, and the flames were still burning on their bandages. They fell to the ground and kept trying to crawl over to Zhao Xu.

No matter how much the mages argued to prove the weakness of evocation mages, the deduction that fireball fortresses were simply unable to prove the greatness of mages.

but at this low-level stage, these evocation spells were the most intuitive display of a mage’s power!

originally, he would have needed to slash a few times to defeat the skeleton warrior.

it was a small team of skeleton soldiers that originally needed the entire team to defeat.

Under Zhao Xu’s fireball, they were all exposed.

The difference between the efficiency of melee attacks and spell carnage was finally widened the moment the fireball spell appeared.

in particular, this skeleton square had the enhancement of negative energy, which constantly restored the health points of the undead creatures. basically, if the skeletons couldn’t be killed in one strike, it meant that they couldn’t be killed again.

Only the fireball spell that Zhao Xu had just cast could cause such a level of damage.

A month ago, he had to cast magic missile at maximum damage to barely kill a Skeleton Warrior with less than average health points.

Even though he was facing a group of fully equipped Level 1 adventurers, not many of them would be able to stand after Zhao Xu threw a fireball at them.

this was the power of arthur’s spells.

Zhao Xu didn’t have the time to feel emotional as he continued to walk forward.

Fortunately, the positive energy key in Zhao Xu’s hand kept replenishing his health points as soon as he lost 10HP from the negative energy field.

With every step Zhao Xu took, the positive energy key in his hand started to glow brighter and brighter.

this halo directly pressed on the undead creatures that were approaching again, causing their dull eyes to reveal a look of fear.

In the end, when Zhao Xu reached the bottom of the platform, not a single undead creature in skeleton square dared to come within 40 meters of Zhao Xu.

this caused zhao xu’s battle plan to fall through completely. instead, he managed to get to the end safely with the key in hand.

At this time, he had already noticed that the positive energy key in his hand was healing him with almost 100HP per round.

moreover, the number of healers was still rising, and it was only round seven.

after three more rounds, the key would teleport the holder to the positive energy plane.

when zhao xu got to this position, he let out a sigh of relief.

At least he was out of the restricted area. If something went wrong, he could teleport away.

Zhao Xu didn’t plan on going to that God-forsaken positive energy plane, so he just threw the key in his hand on the ground.

Zhao Xu was a little suspicious, and he had to observe for a while.

the key landed on the pile of bones at the edge. its frosty positive energy glow was only slightly suppressed by the negative energy field before it continued to bloom.

However, its strength was not weakened by much. At this time, the energy it was releasing was already more than 100HP per round.

it was no longer the initial 30HP per round.

naturally, the skeleton square, which only had a negative energy intensity of 10 points per round, could no longer conceal its brilliance.

at this moment, zhao xu was holding the magic scythe in his hand and was about to lean on the rope that was hanging down from above to climb up.

The positive energy key had formed a self-circulation system due to the output of positive energy. Even if no creature continued to hold it, it was approaching the final moment of teleportation.

and this self-preservation ability of the rope was equivalent to a protective barrier, which ensured the safety of zhao xu as he pulled the rope up.

Zhao Xu was still thinking calmly. When the skeleton picked up the key, he activated it and it immediately started glowing with positive energy.

the 30-HP damage naturally killed the skeleton on the spot. this was the first time the key had been activated, and it was also the reason why it was already the ninth round when zhao xu first saw it.

as for the invisible servant, it seemed that because it was not a living thing, it was completely within the exemption regulations of the positive and negative energy fields. it was not affected from the beginning to the end. it did not continue to stimulate the strength of the other party even after picking up the key.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu noticed a particular detail.

It was the skeleton that he had controlled. After being killed by the ” positive energy teleportation key, ” the key was thrown back to the ground.

Then, the key itself did not continue to emit light. it was just that the 10-round countdown didn’t continue. otherwise, when zhao xu had just picked it up, it might have only been a few rounds, and he might not have even been able to last this long.

this meant that the negative energy field had the ability to seal the key!

Perhaps the skeleton in the ground was more powerful than 10HP for the key. It had just reached the point where it could suppress the Key’s strength.

once the negative energy balanced the key, the key’s ordinary overflowing energy would be erased, and naturally, it would not have the additional ability to walk on the path of positive energy feedback.

But?

According to the players ‘personality of plucking feathers from a goose when it came to it, they would just lose it like this?

zhao xu’s brows furrowed slightly. the energy level of the key had increased by another level, and he guessed that it would at least have 130HP of positive energy per round.

zhao xu had never seen such a magical key in this life, let alone in his previous life.

when he was on the verge of death, he would take it out and use it as an escape talisman.

Even if he took it out on the battlefield, it could restore all his teammates to full health.

However, although the key was good, it had also reached the end of its life.

after two more rounds, the other party would officially complete his mission and transform into a teleportation to the plane of positive energy.

according to his speculation, unless there was enough negative energy, it would be able to withstand the healing amount of his key every round.

Only then would it be possible for it to be sealed again like it was at the beginning.

Zhao Xu suddenly remembered.

He had found a divine scroll of the ” severe injury spell ” in the cabinet of the underground temple.

it could deal a total of 150HP of damage.

if it wasn’t for the fact that zhao xu had the curtain of immortality at the very beginning, he would have been killed by the heavy injury spell the moment he landed on the ground.

take a gamble!

Zhao Xu immediately came to this conclusion.

The unknown “demiplane” was the place where the death god was tortured.

Looking at the descriptions in the library, the Association had cut off the information from the outside world.

however, even the sorcerer’s association would not be able to interfere much with its internal situation.

the association didn’t even dare to add a fifth person to the ‘no more than five incidents’ rule. they only dared to arrange it according to the procedure of three people for the trial and one person for emergency rescue.

Countless images of his analysis flashed through Zhao Xu’s mind, but his hands didn’t stop moving. He had already taken out the heavy injury spell scroll.

Then, he unfurled the ancient-looking scroll, identified the incantation on it according to the formal process, and then began to cast the spell!

The severe injury divine spell scroll in Zhao Xu’s hands was worth 1650 gold coins, but it could only be used by divine spell casters like priests and Druids.

with the ritual and the ain stone, zhao xu was now a level 5 divine spell caster, so he could use level 5 spell caster scrolls, which were level 3 spell scrolls.

However, once the scroll caster exceeded Level-6, he might not be able to cast it successfully.

Otherwise, a level 1 wizard with a stack of 9th-circle spell scrolls would be able to beat up all the good players.

Zhao Xu followed the spell-casting pattern and started chanting the incantation on the scroll.

At this moment, he was more like going through a spellcaster level check.

He had a level 5 spellcaster level, and with a casting performance rating of 1-20, as long as he could exceed the scroll’s casting difficulty by 16, he would be able to cast it successfully.

zhao xu had just been buffed by the serious injury spell not too long ago, and even the environment he was in, where the negative energy was the purest, was very helpful for his performance.

in the end, zhao xu finished chanting the last line of the spell, and a pitch-black ball of light that exuded an aura of death gathered in his palm. it looked just like the flames of black karma.

On Zhao Xu’s status panel, there was already a notification that he had made a mistake when he cast the spell from the scroll. The system had analyzed that his performance was at level 13, and when he added that to his Level 5 spellcaster level, it just so happened to exceed the difficulty level, so he was able to cast the spell successfully.

zhao xu crouched down and used his hand that was covered in the power of the heavy injuries spell to hold onto the dimensional teleportation key that was filled with positive energy and was about to reach the last round.

the black light in zhao xu’s palm and the white light from the key started to merge together. they started to intertwine with each other like two pythons that were trying to kill each other.

however, the ” severe injury ” spell was only a level 6 divine spell, so it should only be a level 11 spell caster. the book in zhao xu’s hand was written by a level 15 spell caster, so the damage dealt was 150HP, which was the maximum.

this slight difference of 20 to 30HP instantly enveloped the key.

slowly, the white light of the ” positive energy plane teleportation ” key extinguished.

At the same time, the energy in Zhao Xu’s hand was used up as well. He didn’t even think about it and just casually stuffed the key into his backpack.

After this step was completed, the positive energy barrier in front of Zhao Xu was gone. In an instant, the undead creatures that he had intimidated continued to move at their original pace and swarmed towards him.

zhao xu didn’t want to get himself killed too much. now that he was out of the restricted teleportation zone, he activated his teleportation boots and immediately made him rise six meters up to stand on the platform.

at this time, behind him, less than four or five meters away, there was a portal that was constantly emitting blue and white light.

According to the results of the appraisal, Zhao Xu just had to take this magic scythe and go through the portal.

But Zhao Xu wasn’t in a hurry to go through that portal and get to that interdimensional space.

His attention was completely focused on this almost two-meter-long +1 netherworld scythe.

It definitely had a secret.
