The Truth of Magic

256 The light of heaven

that fourth-level wizard? ” the besieged players couldn’t help but exclaim.

“what about his wings?”

“Flying?” A quick-witted player replied.

“that’s a level 3 spell.”

However, this doubtful voice was instantly drowned out by the cheers behind him.

Originally, everyone had already decided to hand over the Lifestone in this situation. However, under cui Lu’s instigation, they did not want to die in vain. They immediately launched a wave of death charge.

Who would have thought that there would be such a turn of events? the contrast of being pulled back after falling off the cliff and the joy of surviving a disaster instantly washed over everyone’s heart.

Even Zhao Xu didn’t expect that just his appearance would give the rest of the players that much confidence.

At this moment, Zhao Xu’s feet were in the air, but it was as if he was standing on flat ground. Then, he pushed off with his feet and his entire body shot forward like a cannonball.

even though most of the heavy cavalry didn’t see zhao xu’s movements clearly, they just saw that the first row of charging cavalry had all fallen.

But when they saw the enemy charging at them, they still followed their usual training. They raised the long Spears in their hands, got into formation, and then rode their warhorses towards Zhao Xu.

but zhao xu didn’t care at all as he continued to swing his giant scythe and charge straight into the formation of spears.

at this moment, his entire body burst out with a layer of golden light, like a general in golden armor charging into battle.

“How can it be so fast?!” At this moment, Zhao Xu’s figure was so fast that no one was able to catch him, and the players who were paying attention to him were all asking questions.

it’s the ‘pounce’ ability. How could he have it? ” A Druid player also exclaimed. He had come into contact with many animals and was very clear about this ability.

“i guess it’s a spell buff. but what kind of spell is that? how can i directly obtain the unique ability of a monster?”

“Maybe level 2 spells are very abnormal?”

Zhao Xu, who was the center of the conversation, instantly closed the distance between the two of them. It was a pity that he still couldn’t use the profound meaning of combo attacks.

but he didn’t hesitate. with the buffs of ” primitive instinct ” and ” omen “, his reaction speed was the fastest among the people present, so he could swing his sword before anyone could react.

unless someone else used swift burst at that moment, they wouldn’t be able to stop zhao xu’s sword from landing on their body first.

when zhao xu’s giant scythe, which was filled with the will to die, was swung out, it was just like before. it was an unstoppable attack of death.

As long as he successfully killed his opponent, he would not have to worry about the counterattack of the people behind him.

this was the advantage of being the first to attack.

even if these cavalrymen were wearing thousands of layers of heavy armor up to legendary armor, they still wouldn’t be able to withstand the effects of zhao xu’s ghost strike, let alone full body armor.

zhao xu’s giant scythe landed directly on the bodies of these heavy cavalrymen, and the amount of damage he dealt ended their lives on the spot.

at the same time, the weapon in zhao xu’s hand burst into orange-golden flames that were mixed with sparks that flew everywhere. it was as if the blade had hit an iron plate.

the cavalrymen who were close enough to thrust their spears at him did not notice this.

suddenly, the flames on the scythe exploded, and the blinding light and the torrent of flames engulfed the black-armored cavalrymen.

the level 5 spell, meteorite impact!

the damage that the players had suffered from the evocation fire magic finally fell on the fallen star town cavalry who were defending the city.

they were immediately engulfed by the magic flames that were similar to the damage of a fireball spell. they fell to the ground in great pain, and the spears in their hands fell to the ground.

the warhorses that had been there were burned to death on the spot. the immense heat seeped into their bodies, turning them into charcoal.

with just one attack, there was an empty space in front of zhao xu.

ah-” an infantryman who had been charging towards Zhao Xu couldn’t take this terrifying scene anymore and started wailing on the spot.

in his eyes, those invincible heavy cavalry soldiers were all burned to death by the flames that burst out from one blow.

the pitch-black full-body armor did not show any signs of damage, but white smoke kept rising from the gaps of the armor. it was easy to imagine how much pain the cavalrymen had suffered from that blow.

“that was a fireball, right?” zhang qi couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw the scene.

he had clearly been staring at the level-4 wizard the whole time, but he hadn’t seen him cast a spell.

Then, the huge scythe burst into terrifying flames, burning many of the cavalrymen who were gathered together.

There wasn’t even a single person who could cry out in pain. There were only corpses that had been burned by the flames.

In the beginning, it was the players who had suffered this, but now it was the cavalry. Zhang Qi felt as if time and space had reversed.

“it wasn’t a fireball. it was the explosion of that weapon. however, i’ve never heard of this spell before.” The priest Feng GE said with some surprise.

“a weapon? Doesn’t that mean that if my weapon is enhanced, it will have the same effect?”

“or is it the power of the opponent’s weapon?”

at this moment, everyone couldn’t help but look at the giant scythe in zhao xu’s hand with envy. if every strike could release a fireball spell, then what a terrifying godly weapon it would be.

But as Zhang Qi spoke, his eyes were drawn to what Zhao Xu was going to do next.

one charge was a massacre.

The giant scythe even used ” follow up slash ” and the surrounding cavalrymen were cut down like rice straws.

zhang qi had also seen the ” convenient slash ” in the warrior association’s training hall.

However, the condition to activate this profound meaning was to knock down the enemy completely. The condition was extremely strict. Zhang Qi could only activate it if a person was placed in front of him.

And he could only do it once. He couldn’t do it six or seven times in a row like Zhao Xu.

It was even more like the legendary “great momentum slash.”

It was a warrior’s specialty. Where did the grade-4 mage in front of him get the talent slot to learn it?

Moreover, the prerequisite for this specialty was that it had to be paired with the specialty ‘fierce attack’.

Most human players only had two specialty slots.

It almost made Zhang Qi think that the person flying at a low altitude was actually an advanced warrior.

“lux, this is too inefficient.” zhao xu waved the giant scythe in his hand and broke out of the encirclement.

After opening up a gap for the people who had just besieged him, his battle line was pulled further and further away.

However, wherever he went, he was like the god of death, and slowly, no guards dared to get close to him.

The players that he had saved all recognized him from his scythe and robe, and they started screaming at Zhao Xu on the spot.

to them, zhao xu, who was in such a disadvantageous position, was like a beacon of hope.

But Zhao Xu knew that he couldn’t stay in this state for too long. The enemy’s eyes were already on him.

Once he attracted the attention of high-level combatants to kill him, his ability that was beyond level-4 would be exposed.

Yes, Master. That’s how close-combat attacks are. No matter how strong you are in a second, you can only swing your sword a few times and kill a few people. If you want to launch a group attack, the other party will have to come closer. Lacus concluded.

” in fact, the reason for stacking melee attacks in spells is to deal with some special situations, so it’s towards the direction of high single-target damage output. when that time comes, master, it wouldn’t be surprising if you dealt thousands of damage in a round of melee attacks. ”

“killing the ancient dragon with one strike and killing the titan elder with two strikes is what we should do.”

” it’s no fun to cut down these cavalry guards with only ten to twenty health points. ”

“then are you almost synchronized?” Zhao Xu continued to ask.

ever since lacus woke up, this scythe seemed to have become her new toy.

the advice she gave zhao xu was to let her devour this giant scythe after she had synchronized to a certain level.

That way, she could replace the scythe and directly communicate with the portal.

in fact, if zhao xu had any requests in the future, he could even use her to teleport into that interdimensional space.

” soon. master, you can use this sickle to harvest another wave. then, we’ll change to priests and use our divine spells to clear the field. ”

“Let this group of soldiers know what high-level Wars are like.” Lacus was shouting excitedly in Zhao Xu’s mind.

zhao xu laughed when he heard this. the battlefield in front of them was actually quite traditional. at most, there would be a bunch of winter wolves ambushing players from all directions.

the heavy cavalrymen and infantrymen surrounded the area, then coordinated with the sniping archers on the battlements, as well as the archers at the back who were throwing arrows.

But Zhao Xu knew that the mine owners hadn’t really used their trump cards yet, and that group of single combat level 5 Winter Wolves didn’t count.

He didn’t reveal this in the strategy post on the forum as he was afraid that it would scare away many players.

That was because they were the enemies he would eventually face alone.

Then, Zhao Xu took a deep breath, raised the giant scythe in his hand, and charged towards the enemy again.

————–

Zhao Xu’s appearance was like a stone that had been thrown into a pond. It had indeed caused a huge wave, but it couldn’t change much of the situation in front of the battlefield at fallen star Lake.

the number of players was still decreasing.

even if there were resurrected players who came from winter city and even further towns, it was still difficult to immediately organize them.

“How are we supposed to play?” A rogue pulled out the poisonous arrow from his chest. His face was completely blue, obviously the poison had invaded his body.

Those Level 1 priests didn’t have any spells that could dispel the poison. Even the level 1 ” minor healing ” spell had been used up.

The Rogue directly complained,”I’ve only been here for half an hour, and I have to go back and resurrect again.” How do we fight this?”

however, when the surrounding players heard this, they could only wipe the blood and sweat off their faces and wave their shields to block a new wave of arrows.

the hundred-strong suicide squad that they had gathered with great difficulty had been noticed by the local commander before they could launch an attack. the commander had mobilized the archers to launch a fierce volley of arrows in their direction.

Countless arrows streaked across the sky, drawing perfect arcs in the air before plunging deep into the scorched earth that had already been burned once.

it also pierced into the bodies of the suicide squad players.

“take my scimitar and take revenge for me.” Feeling that his vitality attribute had dropped again, the Rogue couldn’t help but spit out blood from his throat. He quickly handed the sword to a warrior who had just broken his weapon.

“to avenge me by killing a few more.” the rogue saw that the other party took it and quickly shouted, but he kept spitting blood from his mouth and couldn’t stop it at all.

at this time, the soldier looked back at him and saw the tragic state of the rogue. his eyes turned red and he was about to swear to the other party.

Immediately, the warrior’s entire body was slammed several meters back.

the arrow pierced through his heart!

The one-meter long arrow pierced through the warrior’s body, nailing him to the ground.

The densely packed scales on the warrior’s body were torn apart, leaving a huge hole.

The wound also took him away on the spot.

the players ‘armor, which had been worn out, could no longer withstand the increasingly powerful weapons.

The Rogue looked at this scene and could only sigh helplessly.

he had already seen this scene too many times today.

When a small town could produce a siege crossbow, which only the northern Alliance Army could fire with a ballista, it was possible that the other party had more than just a group of rich gold mine owners behind them.

At this moment, the surroundings were filled with the sounds of fighting and the sound of crossbow arrows piercing through the air.

The players who saw their comrades die put down their shields and raised their swords to charge forward, trying to exchange their lives for their comrades’.

however, before the warrior could take more than seven or eight steps forward, he was killed by a poisonous crossbow arrow that pierced through his cloth armor. he knelt down on the spot and returned to the divine hall of creation.

As for this wandering Ranger, when he saw the last Ranger with a round shield beside him also being killed by a crossbow arrow, he closed his eyes as if he had resigned himself to fate.

he had lost too much of his constitution and was no longer able to move.

He hated himself so much that he would only be able to return here for revenge a day later.

A day later, he could finally use his teeth and dagger to tear these enemies apart.

if they could just resurrect here, they wouldn’t have to be so passive.

however, these were all just his fantasies.

” lying on the ground and waiting for death is not a good habit. even if you die, you might still be able to survive if you crawl back to the back of the group. ”

At this time, an unfamiliar voice broke the Rogue’s thoughts. He opened his eyes in surprise, which had been blurred by the poison infection.

a man in a priest’s robe appeared out of thin air in front of him, holding the holy emblem in his hand.

“are you kidding me?” The wandering soul laughed helplessly and was about to remind the priest in front of him that he had raised the wrong item.

he should have raised his shield, or he would have been killed by the rain of arrows.

The Rogue thought to himself,”it’s a pity that the arrows won’t turn just because you believe in God.”

however, before he could say anything, he saw another wave of arrows.

One of the arrows hit the priest’s forehead.

However, what happened next was completely beyond the Rogue’s imagination.

The arrow stopped right in front of the priest’s forehead, less than a fist’s distance away, but it could not advance any further.

immediately after, the arrow that was still emitting a cold light turned around and flew back to where it was!

” this is the level 3 spell ‘reverse arrow’, which can reflect the crossbow arrow back. ” the man seemed to have noticed the rogue’s surprise and explained to him.

Then, a ‘healing spell’ was instilled into the Rogue’s body, and the poison in his body was also removed.

the rogue had an ecstatic look on his face. he didn’t expect a priest to suddenly appear and save him.

however, his joy didn’t last long. he saw another player being shot down in the attachment, and he fell into grief again.

It was easy to save him, but he couldn’t save everyone.

As players, they were only Level 1. If they wanted to display their combat power, they had to clench their fists and swing them out.

the five lifestones were the reason why they could win this battle.

it was a pity that the battlefield wasn’t near winter city. the distance they had to travel on foot had instead become the most powerful barrier for starfall town.

the rogue couldn’t help but continue to sigh.

however, he noticed the priest and raised the ‘holy emblem’ in his hand again as if he was going to do something.

the priest looked at the battlefield in front of him, his eyes filled with sorrow and emotion.

“i said, the glory of the goddess should descend upon this place,” he said softly.

An incomparably sacred pillar of light descended from the originally blue sky, as if the kingdom of heaven had slightly opened its curtain towards the mortal world, scattering the brilliance of hope.

the holy cry of an angel rang out across the battlefield.

The light of the Holy heavens instantly illuminated the entire battlefield, attracting the attention of countless people.

Then, a vague projection of a ‘temple’ appeared in the sky.

[ region prompt: a ‘temple of the goddess of magic’ has appeared in Starfall Lake. Players can choose to resurrect here directly. ]
