The Truth of Magic

286 Chapter 285 a trip here

zhao xu was free-falling from the cliff. after he used the feather drop spell, he was able to control the speed of his descent and changed his speed from an accelerated descent to a constant landing speed.

Zhao Xu’s eyes were still staring into the distance even when he was about to fall into the undead that were running away.

in the sky above the land of the sleeping, light spots rose into the sky.

it was as if zhao xu had known from the very beginning that there would be flying undead creatures there.

“these are all legendary undead creatures.” lacus replied.

zhao xu also nodded. actually, he knew all about the undead creatures that were still very far away and he didn’t even know what they were.

That was because he had just used the extraordinary power of ‘sense of death’ for the first time and opened his ‘right eye’ to see him, who had been on the cliff all along, blocked by a dozen legendary undead creatures.

Zhao Xu didn’t have any magic items and he only had level 3 spells, so he was instantly killed by the undead creatures that surrounded him.

he didn’t even give him a chance to explain.

The main reason was that these legendary undead creatures all had an intelligence of more than 10 to 20 points, which was comparable to the mages in human society.

They were no longer the low-level undead creatures who only knew how to hate living creatures and kill them blindly.

so at that time, zhao xu had quickly used up all of his willpower and, under the effects of his sense of death, he had been able to come up with seven or eight different actions that his future self would take.

However, in the deduction scene, no matter how he tried to explain, what evidence he took out, or what spells he cast, he was killed without saying a word.

It was so clean that he didn’t even have time to struggle and directly loaded the file.

it wasn’t until zhao xu’s power was almost completely depleted and he closed his right eye again that he saw his only chance of survival.

that was to escape!

That was why Zhao Xu was so decisive. He immediately cast a feather drop spell and flew far away before the legendary undead creatures could take to the sky.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was about to fall into the Horde of ghouls below him. He quickly took out a bird’s ” feather ” from his pocket and used it as a casting tool to cast the second spell, fly.

Suddenly, it was as if a pair of wings had sprouted from Zhao Xu’s back, and he instantly gained the ability to fly.

Speaking of which, this wasn’t Zhao Xu’s first time flying. In the past, he had transformed and used the divine spell ‘coherence’ to fly.

This ” flight ” was the first time he had mastered the power to fly in the sky with his own abilities since he became a level 5 wizard.

zhao xu’s body wasn’t under a lot of pressure. his normal flying speed was around three meters per second, but if he flew at full speed, he could reach 12 meters per second, which was equivalent to a speed of more than 40 axioms per hour. he could definitely catch up to a car that was driving in the city.

However, if he wanted to go any faster, he would have to continue casting spells that increased his speed.

Even his current mobility was only ” good “. Although it was still a level away from ” perfect ” mobility, he could easily use all kinds of sudden turns, upturned attacks, downward charges, and backward flying.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was looking down at the ghouls flying in front of him from the sky. Just like him, there were also many undead creatures flying in the sky and trying to escape from the cliff. It was as if a great battle was about to break out there.

compared to the ability to flap his wings continuously, zhao xu’s power of flight made him feel as if he was walking on flat ground, and he was very stable.

Besides, Zhao Xu’s flying wasn’t his main goal for the first few times. He had to do other complicated things along the way, so he had never really experienced flying before.

So this time, Zhao Xu was also trying to use all sorts of forward charges to accelerate as he flew through the air. Then, he would come to an emergency stop to avoid crashing into the undead creatures in front of him.

He also began to understand why the players were so excited after he had cast group flight with divine spells, which directly led to a surge in the number of players who chose to be mages and priests.

and this sort of flying spell that he could cast on his own instead of relying on some other temporary external power made zhao xu a little excited.

As expected, humans had the heart to conquer the sky.

Even Zhao Xu was no exception.

as zhao xu got closer to the buildings in anta city, he started to see more types of undead creatures, and there were many that he had never seen before.

From the moment Zhao Xu started his journey of obtaining iron will, he had already seen more than 99% of the undead adventurers.

zhao xu also noticed that most of the undead creatures that could fly were basically invisible.

Not long after, Zhao Xu flew close to a short building at the edge of the town. He flew directly towards an open “balcony” and landed on it.

His flight leveled up by the minute, so 5 minutes wasn’t enough for him to travel too far.

in fact, in the disturbance just now, it was the best opportunity to sneak into the temple.

The undead creatures didn’t need to eat or sleep, and only such an unexpected disturbance could attract them away.

but zhao xu wasn’t in the vicinity of that temple right now. by the time he got there, he might have already been surrounded by the legendary undead creatures that had returned.

zhao xu was on high alert. the dozen or so legendary undead creatures that had just appeared had completely surpassed his imagination. it wasn’t as simple as the divine sin shriveler and the demigod mummy that he had first seen.

thinking back, these undead creatures might have been here since the god of death, nairo, was alive.

besides, the undead creatures were immortal, so it wasn’t strange for them to become legendary after thousands of years.

so, zhao xu had already decided that he would hide in one or two of the buildings first and wait until he had activated the sacred sigil in succession and caused the waves of energy from the two slashes of the statue to pass before he slowly moved forward.

Otherwise, he might be devoured by the undead creatures in this chaotic situation.

zhao xu saw that the door to the balcony was slightly closed, so he didn’t think too much about it and crawled into the room. he realized that it was completely empty. there was no furniture or other miscellaneous items, as if it had never been used in the first place.

zhao xu also squatted down a little. on one hand, he was on guard against any strange movements at the top of the stairs. on the other hand, he was also observing his own condition.

‘Sense death’ and ‘undead characteristics’ were both extremely powerful effects. They were so powerful that he had to familiarize himself with them before he could make use of them.

“Master, why did you suddenly jump down? what inappropriate result did you see?” Lacus asked.

after zhao xu’s desire for revenge was ignited, he became a little cold and aloof. but when he heard lux’s question, he still told her what he had seen in detail.

” that’s strange. he actually killed them without saying anything? ” lacus obviously did not expect this either.

perhaps, these legendary undead creatures knew that this divine statue was strange from the beginning, but they couldn’t obtain the energy inside and could only limit their access.

” so this also explains why the ghouls didn’t climb up the cliff. it might be because of the existence of the god of the undead. ” zhao xu tried to reason.

” so they issued an order to kill any living creature that approaches the statue? ” Lacus added.

this was the only way to explain why zhao xu was killed by those undead creatures before he could even say anything.

This was because the other party suspected that he might have that ability, so they were naturally extremely apprehensive of him.

With the thought that they would rather miss it than let it go, they would surround and kill him directly.

And Zhao Xu could only control one of the weaker versions of the Lord of the Undead’s power, so there was nothing he could do against a dozen undead that were coming at him together.

At this moment, Zhao Xu perked up his ears and listened to the vibrations around him. The ground was still shaking, and it was obvious that there were still a large number of undead creatures that had been disturbed and were running around.

However, he didn’t hear any strange sounds coming from below the stairs.

after thinking about it for a bit, zhao xu tiptoed and activated his half-mastered stealth skill. he slowly walked over to the entrance of the wooden staircase.

“master, look.” Suddenly, lacus said.

at this moment, zhao xu almost rolled forward to avoid the attack that might come from behind him.

however, he soon realized that there was no anxiety in lux’s tone. he heaved a sigh of relief and turned around calmly to see what she was going to show him.

Beside the door that he had just entered, the pale white wall next to it was very dim, but he could clearly see a line of small words carved with a small knife.

“a nobody, edmund, was here.”

below it, there was an additional line of similar handwriting-

“the undying ‘edmund’s’ visit.”

Zhao Xu’s thoughts started to drift back to a time a thousand years ago.

Edmund, who had just escaped from the prison, convinced himself to believe the priest’s words. Then, with the method and spell given by the priest, he went through a lot of hardships to find the half-plane where anta city, the “land of the sleeping “, was located.

at this moment, the other party must have seen the countless undead creatures in the city and directly climbed over the earth wall to the second floor of the house at the edge of the town.

He didn’t know how long the other party had been hiding in this room, and he had even left his mark.

zhao xu quietly walked over and pulled out the dagger that was tied to his calf. he also carved another sentence on it-

“The spellcaster ‘Midsummer’ visited this place.”
