The Truth of Magic

Chapter 197 Book of Ten Thousand Laws (23)

Seeing the "Book of Ten Thousand Laws" in front of him, Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing.

However, he didn't relax in the slightest, and quickly gave instructions to Lux from the bottom of his heart to decide on the spell on the first page.

Suddenly, the tightly closed artifact "Book of Ten Thousand Laws" opened its first page directly in front of Zhao Xu.

In an instant, "The Art of Ten Thousand Laws" was injected directly into Zhao Xu's mind on the first page of spells.

Just like in the final scroll space, it became a spell that he could release at will.

And the "Deep Prison Demon" was also alarmed by the fluctuation of the artifact at this time, and was a little bit slower for a while, and then he realized that he raised his hand directly to release the spell-like ability towards Zhao Xu.

However, Zhao Xu had gone through a lot of tempering in releasing these spells in the scroll space, and he immediately yelled——

"Time stands still!"

Everything in the world suddenly lost its color.

The giant scarlet paw that the "deep hell refiner" had just raised was motionless, and the dark green liquid dripping from its mouth was also suspended in mid-air, not falling for a long time, and the flames burning all over its body seemed to be set.

At this moment, the entire altar square becomes a meaningful and unchanging painting.

Only then did Zhao Xu let out a sigh of relief, and glanced at the instructions on the dynamic prompt bar out of the corner of his eye——

[Remaining time of time still: 24S (1/4 round)] ”

Zhao Xu really didn't expect that what appeared in front of him would be the most mysterious artifact "Book of Ten Thousand Laws" that would disappear automatically, with uncertain arcane spells, page counts, and ring spells per page.

Every master who got the "Book of Ten Thousand Laws" was basically full of sorrow and joy, and on the one hand, he got extra spellcasting ability. On the other hand, every time the spell is cast, it means that the book is one step closer to disappearing.

However, when Lux becomes the "Book of Ten Thousand Laws", these uncertainties are controllable certainties in her eyes.

Even the book that was originally closed was under her control. As long as Zhao Xu cast a spell, it could automatically turn to the next page, and then freeze on the last page forever.

On average, every time the "Book of Ten Thousand Laws" appears, with a 5% probability, even if it is 30 pages thick, basically only one or two nine-ring spells will appear. But now, as long as Zhao Xu wanted it, every page could be filled with nine-ring spells.

At the same time, because his dossier had a list of all divine spells, Zhao Xu could completely control the magic spells that appeared on the pages, which meant that Zhao Xu could use the spells on each page four times.

Zhao Xu just controlled Lacus to confirm the content of the first page: time stands still.

Four rounds of time meant that Zhao Xu could cast four more spells before time would resume flowing.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was staring coldly at the "deep hell refining demon" in front of him. Time stood still and 3 seconds had passed when he was thinking just now, and if he wasted another 3 seconds, this precious round of time would pass.

At this time, Zhao Xu had no time to pay attention to him. When he cast "Still Time", Lux had already controlled the pages of the book and determined the second spell according to Zhao Xu's request.

The eight-ring magic is immune to advanced spells!

Zhao Xu was running out of time to cast his spells, so he directly adopted a defensive strategy.

He looked at the 4 "advanced magic immunity" spell slots that came to mind, and directly consumed one of them to cast it.

Suddenly, an invisible cloud of protective magic energy turned into a film covering his whole body according to Zhao Xu's wishes.

Advanced spell immunity is an advanced version of the magic immunity of the fourth-ring magic. It can be immune to the specified spell effects below the eighth ring.

Immunity to 1 spell per 5 caster levels. And the caster level of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws is level 20, so Zhao Xu can designate four on the spot——

Seven Rings Blasphemy!

Three-ring fireball technique!

The eight-ring law is shocking!

Immediately blocked the three spell-like abilities of the "deep hell refining demon". When these three spells were cast on him, Zhao Xu regarded them as having infinite spell resistance.

It's just that the remaining "group monster hold technique" and "meteor burst" are both at the nine-ring level, and spell immunity cannot be offset.

At the same time, the "deep hell demon" possesses the six-ring spell "advanced dispel magic". As long as this spell is successfully cast, it is also possible to lift the "spell immunity" on him.

But Zhao Xu was fearless.

At this time, the book of ten thousand laws had turned to the third page, and Zhao Xu also started to cast them one by one.

Eight-ring spell mind barrier!

This spell is immune to all magic that detects, affects, and perceives thoughts or emotions. In addition to blocking all mind-affecting magic and effects, it also prevents the detection of divination spells.

At this moment, Zhao Xu, even if he went out of the temple and escaped the shielding effect of the altar, Leian would still be unable to locate him with the prophecy spell.

It is precisely because of this spell that the eight-ring mage has nothing to fear from the master mage of the confusion control department.

Zhao Xu chose to cast this spell at this moment because it was immune to mind-affecting effects.

And the nine-ring spell "group monster immobilization", which can control the enemy's immobility, is only effective because of the influence of the mind, and he has successfully immunized again a "deep hell demon" nine-ring spell.

Zhao Xu, who had 30 pages of spells, didn't feel bad about using spells like this.

His time stop spell can be cast three more times.

So Zhao Xu would target each of the spell-like abilities of the "Deep Prison Demon" one by one.

His fragile health and pitifully low immunity allowed him to hit any of the opponent's spells, and he died suddenly on the spot.

At this time, Zhao Xu also began to solve another nine-ring spell "Meteor Explosion" of "Deep Hell Refining Demon".

To be honest, the spell "Meteor Burst" has always been called the shame of the nine rings, because its damage and power are not worthy of the status of the nine rings.

So the mages have been trying to strengthen this spell, and the mage association has also spent a lot of effort on improving it.

The meteor burst effect is spectacular, but to put it bluntly, it is four fireball-like meteors hitting the enemy for a targeted long-range attack.

If the opponent fails to dodge and is hit, he will naturally suffer the blunt damage from the hit and the subsequent meteor explosion damage. A successful dodge is equivalent to four fireballs exploding around him.

For the first bludgeoning damage, Zhao Xu would then consider using the second ring spell "wings of protection" to defend against it. The spell can completely dodge an attack, so that he is not afraid of being smashed to death.

As for the fireball-like damage caused by the meteor falling on the ground and exploding, he directly cast the seven-ring spell "Elemental Immunity".

He chose to be immune to fire elemental damage!

All of a sudden, all the fire element magic in the evocation department, from fireball to meteor burst, couldn't work on Zhao Xu.

Considering that the "deep hell demon" has the means to remove the protective spells on him, and at the same time, the opponent also has the specialty of instant casting spells, which can instantly cast "fireball".

So out of prudence, Zhao Xu directly arranged two defensive barriers for the fireball technique.

Even if you pass the level of "advanced magic immunity", you still have to pass the level of "elemental immunity".

Then when the fourth round came, Zhao Xu continued to cast the spell on the fifth page——

The six-ring spell "True Seeing"!

The "deep hell demon" with the invisibility spell-like ability can no longer disappear before his eyes, and the opponent's eternal phantom spell-like ability also fails at the same time.

Time passed like this, until the last second, Zhao Xu smiled slightly.

The eight-ring spell "Advanced Rapid Explosion"!

At this time, the spell effect of time stillness has disappeared.

But entering the era of rapid and explosive power, time began to flow, but it was extremely slow.

Zhao Xu's advanced swift burst spell gave him a full round of time!

And this round, he can move, others have no time to move. That is to say, he can take effect against external attacks.

At this moment, Zhao Xu looked at the almost motionless "Purgatory Demon" and said——

"Feel sorry."

The time is 20 minutes late, apology +1.
