The Truth of Magic



361 Chapter 360-difficult to avoid
after zhao xu received the ” level up spell ” specialty, he couldn’t help but smile. but right now, there were only two cavalrymen in front of him, and he wasn’t walking side by side with them, so no one knew what he had received.

In terms of the level of his talents, Zhao Xu would have to wait until he was level 9 before he could get the next talent. With the difficulty of leveling up from Level 6 to level 9, it was very likely that he would have to wait until he transmigrated.

he only had one chance left, which was when he leveled up to level 7. when the supreme magic sculptor leveled up to level 2, he could obtain an additional supreme magic ability.

Normal mages could only obtain a metamagic ability once at Level 5.

On the other hand, a Supreme magic sculptor would obtain the ability of Supreme magic control at Level 1, and a Supreme magic specialty at Level 2. This was the strength of an advanced class.

but in the end, his specialty position was very rare.

For example, he didn’t choose to use Maximize Spell damage or Empower Spell, which could increase his spell damage by half.

He had directly chosen ‘spell level up’ because this specialty could reach an unsolvable power in his hands.

in order for an average person to successfully resist a spell, one had to rely on immunity, and the other had to rely on spell resistance.

unless the spell ignored resistance or immunity, but such spells were extremely rare.

An instant-death spell like blasphemy could be ignored just because it was above level 10. It had already become a powerful killer move.

and the average person basically didn’t have the existence of magic resistance, so naturally, they were powerless in this aspect.

therefore, whether ordinary people could survive the spells mostly depended on whether they could survive the immunity.

when zhao xu was taking practical spell classes at antonya’s place, he had received education in this area.

in order to make it impossible for people to resist spells, they either had to use spells with no immunity or pile up the difficulty of their own magic immunity to the point that it was difficult for others to pass.

The general difficulty of spell immunity was based on the foundation of level 10, added with intelligence adjustment value, and then added with the spell circle number.

With Zhao Xu’s 22 points of intelligence, the difficulty of his spell immunity would be 16+X.

for example, the 3rd-circle fireball’s reflex immunity difficulty was level 19.

for a commoner’s ability, the reflex immunity provided by the class was almost 0, and the agility attribute was even more pitiful. therefore, they basically relied on the basic reflex immunity of rank 0 and the temporary performance of rank 1 to 20 to resist.

so for a commoner, zhao xu’s fireball would only be able to be reflected successfully if the opponent was at level 19 or 20 perfectly, and they would only take half the damage.

As for some monsters that had higher than level 20 reflective immunity, Zhao Xu’s fireball would definitely be able to get through them.

However, in terms of the difficulty of exemption, it was extremely difficult to increase intelligence.

Therefore, most spellcasters could only choose some specialties that specialized in spells to increase the difficulty of the spells of the corresponding school by two levels.

it could only be said that it was better than nothing.

on the other hand, through the means of “spell upgrade,” he could improve the ring spell and also increase the difficulty of spell immunity.

for example, if reyan learned a spell and leveled up, he could use a level 9 spell slot to prepare for fireball. this way, the difficulty of fireball would add up to level 9, which was equivalent to increasing the difficulty of immunity by a whole six levels.

two designated evocation school spellcasting and advanced spellcasting specialties were only at level 4.

moreover, after leveling up, he could bypass restrictions such as ‘secondary spells nullifying barrier’ and ‘spells nullifying barrier’.

Back when Zhao Xu was in the tunnel of the buried city, he had used the spell nullifying barrier in his magic staff to avoid a bunch of level 3 spells from the runic cannon tower, which made him immune to Level 1 to level 4 spells.

Later on, when Zhao Xu transformed or became a harmonious Angel, the protective Reiki that the angel carried along with it was also combined with the nullifying barrier of secondary spells.

It could be said that a 4-circle magician had completely suppressed these 1-circle to 3-circle magicians.

But now that he had the ability to level up his spells, Zhao Xu only needed to level up his spells to Level 5 and he would be able to bypass this restriction.

however, in any case, the number of people who chose the easy-to-learn specialty of spell upgrade was not many.

Because the price of ring magic was too heavy.

A level 3 human hold spell would only take up a level 7 spell slot for instant cast.

However, the same group human hold spell was only at the seventh-circle.

if he upgraded the human hold spell to level seven, he would gain nothing except for the difficulty.

not to mention, the prerequisite was that zhao xu only had level 3 spell slots.

At most, he could only level up a level 0 to Level 2 spell to Level 3. He couldn’t even get rid of the spell-nullifying barrier.

Therefore, spellcasters who had ‘spell upgrade’ were ordinary.

But there was no way to deal with Zhao Xu, who was also using Supreme magic control.

He could choose to upgrade the spell to Grade X, but the specific price of the ring spell would be determined by the X points of attribute damage suffered by his Supreme magic control ability.

then, in theory, he could use ‘mental protection’ to be immune to the damage of X points of attribute damage. he just had to use six different attributes afterward and refresh the spell.

however, zhao xu knew that there were two regrettable limitations.

he couldn’t willfully increase the difficulty of the spell by hundreds of millions of levels.

because his attributes were limited, this X point of attribute damage could not exceed his attribute value. if it was placed at the highest 22 intelligence attribute, it could not exceed 21 points of attribute damage.

at the same time, there was another point. for zhao xu to cast a level 9 spell, he had to have 19 points of intelligence.

therefore, his current 22 intelligence points meant that he could only cast level 12 spells at most.

this meant that all of his spells could only be upgraded to level twelve at most, and the corresponding difficulty was level twenty-eight.

it wasn’t the 21-ring upgrade that he had expected, which would increase the difficulty to level 34.

this was also why the next +6 headband of intellect would be of great significance to zhao xu. In addition to increasing the difficulty of the spell immunity by three levels due to his intelligence, it could also increase the difficulty of the spell immunity by six levels due to his circle score, so Zhao Xu’s spell immunity difficulty reached level 37.

however, the level 28 difficulty that seemed to be within his reach now meant that it was already a ceiling that ordinary mages would find difficult to reach.

for the old hag he might encounter, if it was only the basic version, which was level 12 toughness, level 9 reflex, and level 10 will, it would be extremely difficult to resist his spells.

However, the other party had level 25 spell resistance. Against Zhao Xu, who was a level 12 spellcaster, there was still a 50% chance that the other party could resist his spells.

as for the other players, they were basically unable to break through the old ghost woman’s spell resistance with their spellcasting level below level 3.

It wasn’t until the cavalrymen in front of them used their longswords to push aside a patch of tall grass that Zhao Xu and his group finally saw an old house that looked very dilapidated and had signs of collapsing.

judging from the blackened walls and the charred remains, it was likely that the house had been burned once before it was eventually covered by the traces of time.

it was a little strange for such a house to appear in the wilderness.

in particular, because of the large number of monsters in arthur, almost all the races would choose to live in groups. those who could live alone were mostly “capable.”

The house itself was a certain distance away from the cemetery, so it couldn’t be the tomb keeper’s house.

zhao xu started to slow down and tried to get closer.

at this moment, chuck, who had been at a loss, suddenly had a change in expression. he pulled xu zhao aside and said, ” “mr. priest, i suddenly thought of a legend.”

Zhao Xu turned around and looked at her. “What?”

madam betty wanted to say something, but she hesitated. in the end, she didn’t say anything.

Chuck, the captain of Madam Betty’s guards, had reached the level of a Level-1 Warrior in his 30S. He was not outstanding, but with his strong body and muscular arms, it was easy for him to make a living.

With a reminiscing expression, he thought for a while and said, ” when I escorted the madam back to frost dew town, I heard the children there sing nursery rhymes.

the keywords are old house, Cemetery, hide-and-seek, old witch, and so on.

as soon as she finished speaking, zheng xinyun’s scalp almost went numb, and she couldn’t help but stand closer to zhao xu.

The dilapidated houses and the cemetery had already matched the current scene.

suddenly, zhao xu pointed at the two cavalrymen in front of them and said, “i can see that house. you two go stand behind me.”

If the old house in front of them was indeed the old ghost woman’s residence, then there was no need to send them to their deaths.

Zhao Xu lowered his head and started to think. The old ghost woman’s attack could be considered a magic weapon, so it just so happened to be able to break through the defense of his Star Cloak.

at first glance, although his defense was stacked with four levels of mage armor and four levels of shield spell, it was still difficult to defy the heavens with only 18 levels. he was still under the threat of the old hag.

the tier 1 defense that originally came from his agility just happened to offset his injury-prone flaw.

But as a third-circle spell caster, Zhao Xu wasn’t worried at all.

he already had the ability to build a static defense.
