The Truth of Magic

Chapter 549 War spells, destroying tribes

The cloud and mist spells of the conjuration (creation) system have always been the key system spells used by mages to escape and cast negative effects on groups.

From the "Hidden Fog Art" of the first ring, the "Cloud and Mist Art" of the second ring, the "Stinky Cloud Art" of the third ring, to the current "Dead Cloud Art" of the fifth ring.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of yellow-green mist emerged from Zhao Xu's hand, and the highly toxic mist, which was heavier than air, immediately drifted towards the target point he chose.

Immediately afterwards, his palm was like a chimney in a restaurant, spitting violently towards the ground one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the commander of the Orc Empire, who was summoning and training his soldiers here, suddenly noticed a dense yellow-green mist with a height and radius of six meters above his head, like sticky snot from a cold.

"Toxic! Get out of the way!" the orc leader shouted.

At the same time, the shaman of the orc clan on the side also had a dull expression, as if he couldn't understand why there was a thick fog with "epidemic" falling from the sky.

It's just that no matter how fast their speed is, they can't catch up with the "death cloud" that comes with the strong wind.

In a blink of an eye, this cloud and mist fell on everyone's head like a downpour.

"Ah!" Suddenly a tall orc covered his mouth, and the next moment he tightly pinched his throat.

At this moment, he couldn't understand, since he hadn't inhaled it, how could it be so painful just touching the skin.

It was as if Zhao Xu had poured a cloud of hot oil in the air onto the orc corps below. There were countless howls and screams, one after another.

A weak orc soldier who happened to be outside the coverage area of ​​the hundreds of flat death clouds, fell to the ground on the spot and fell into a daze when he saw the tragic death happening one meter away.

The orcs around suddenly cried out: "It's the plague, it's the plague cloud of death on Mount Tarama."

Other orcs may not know what the "death cloud technique" is in front of them.

But in the kingdom of orcs, the death plague cloud on Mount Tarama is famous, no matter how powerful the orcs are, they are bound to die if they come into contact with it.

Given the limited range of the "Death Cloud Technique", what Zhao Xu chose to strike was naturally the core area of ​​the orc corps below, where all the subordinate centurions and officers gathered before the team was deployed.

Immediately, the orcs that were not hit outside all howled in horror and fled in all directions.

No matter how strict the military law is, it can't stop the fear of inexplicable death.

And Zhao Xu, who was floating in the sky, just looked at the tragedy below.

Dead cloud spell is one of the few spells that can kill monsters quickly, and it does not pass spell resistance.

And the target is 1-3 HD (Health Dice), all ignore the saving throw and kill on the spot.

Those with 4-6HD are fortitude checks to fight their own physique. If you fail, you will die instantly, and if you survive successfully, you will also suffer 1-4 points of physical damage. If you don't leave quickly, you will continue to suffer physical damage every round.

That is, if it is above 7HD, it is okay to pass, and if it fails, it will suffer physical damage.

So as long as Zhao Xu threw this spell at players who were currently generally below level 7, it would indeed be a feast of unscrupulous killings.

For low-level players, only those who are immune to toxins can survive this spell.

This is also the power of a five-ring mage.

Even if they didn't have Zhao Xu's "spell effects", "spell twins", and "super magic control" abilities, they couldn't pile up extreme damage.

But when the advanced spells of the five rings come, you can also feel proud.

But Zhao Xu looked at the orcs who were fleeing in all directions, but he didn't show any compassion in his heart.

Since these orcs wore tattered armor and held bloody spears, they had to accept the fate of being killed when they drove to kill.

Killers are always killed, including him.

"Supernatural Spellcasting - War Spell: Divine Storm."

"Super magic control: extremely effective spells, twin spells."

In the next moment, Zhao Xu activated his fourth-ring magic position, and under the influence of "bizarre foresight", he compressed the war spell, which originally required a one-minute casting time, into "one round."

Sacred Storm was originally an ordinary three-ring magic spell. By calling on the power of the good camp, it rained a columnar rain with a radius of six meters and a height of six meters.

Rainwater presents a soft and gentle power, but it can suppress listening, detection, and even long-range attacks above level 4.

More critically, it deals 2-12 (2D6) damage to evil creatures, double that for evil outsiders.

The scope of this spell was similar to that of the death cloud spell, and what Zhao Xu liked was its ability to target "evil creatures" at a fixed point.

So he used it to find out the "war spell version" of this spell in an instant.

At the same time as the first ring, an additional 1500 gold coins and 10 bottles of 25 gold coins of holy water are required.

War spells are essentially the art of burning money.

But for Zhao Xu, who possessed" supernatural spells," it wasn't a problem.

"Holy Storm" also uses the war version, and the radius has changed from the original 6 meters to a full 30 meters. The area of ​​action instantly expanded by a full 25 times, reaching nearly 3,000 square meters.

The orc soldiers below who were already fleeing because of the "death cloud technique" suddenly saw the nectar from the sky. They thought it was a gift from the orc god of war to disperse the death cloud, but they suddenly discovered it.

These raindrops fell on the body, without the initial moisturizing feeling, but incomparably painful.

Like a small needle in the hair of a cow, it constantly pierces the flesh.

One after another, those fleeing orc soldiers were all covered by the incomparably wide spell "Holy Storm".

The orc soldiers fell down one by one like cabbages wilted by frost, unable to get up again.

The rain of goodness with 2-12 points of damage, after superimposing the specialties, is the rain of death with 24 points of full damage.

These orc warriors who were only one or two levels of martial artist, who were at the bottom of the chain, died one by one in an instant.

Even if the life force is stronger among them, as long as they don't escape the range of effect in time, when the second round of rain falls, they will deal another full 24 points of full damage.

In the bloody lumberyard below, ruthless raindrops fell, and the disappearance of life was like dominoes falling, which could not be suppressed.

At this time, Zhao Xu was soaring high in the sky. After his potential point recovered the number of supernatural spells, he would fire a second "Holy Storm" at the exit of the gorge in the direction of escape.

In the end, the midsummer is coming and the lush green grass below is full of dead bodies.

And the smoke that these orc apostles lit just now was also extinguished by this rain of kindness.

Once in the twilight forest, Zhao Xu relied on a series of spellcasting methods to annihilate hundreds of adventurers who were trying to ambush them.

But now, who has just reached level 9, he wiped out thousands of orcs who had at least level 1 warrior level in a whirlwind.

Even if these people lined up and came to die one by one and let him hack to death with a heavy axe, most people would lose their strength if they chopped dozens of them.

An army of thousands of orcs, if the player doesn't make a move, can even wipe out an ordinary town on the spot.

But now, he was killed by Zhao Xu with just a few spells.

Even at the moment when his mood returned to calm, the potential points had already recovered all the spell slots and professional abilities that had just been consumed.

Just like Zhao Xu, he just picked up a basin of hot water and fiddled with an ant nest.

"It's no wonder that the mentality of the gods is high."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Aren't ordinary people an ant to the gods?

The existence that can be wiped out by raising one's hand can't be awe-inspiring.

He finished the killing with ease, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't help another feeling of bliss.

As if he is the master of life.

While thinking about it, Zhao Xu continued to open the "mission book" this time, and sent a "message technique" to the task interface person of the final magic guard organization.

"SMS" is the spell of priest Sihuan and mage Wuhuan, so Zhao Xu was the only one who wasted so much and used spell feedback directly.

In an instant, another reply came from the opposite side, which is also the effect of the communication technique, as long as the text does not exceed 25 characters.

After scanning the message he just received, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little confused.

It turned out to be "kill all".

The contents of the text message let him directly destroy the tribes near the orc army on the spot.

Most people naturally follow the instructions of the task and continue to execute.

As long as Zhao Xu finished the "clearance task" this time, it would be equivalent to completing this year's performance.

But Zhao Xu was not an ordinary person, and he was somewhat skeptical that he could just clean up an orc army, and he would rise to the level of extermination at every turn.

Immediately, Zhao Xu cast the five-ring arcane "detection of other worlds", which took 10 minutes to cast.

This spell allows his "mind" to be transported to real alien planes, such as the element interface, positive and negative energy interface, astral world, and outer interface.

From there, get the messages and suggestions from the gods of other worlds.

The farther the mind is teleported, the more likely it is to get accurate information, but the risk and duration of temporary damage to intelligence and charm during the teleportation process are also higher.

Zhao Xu chose the top-level option of "outer interface: high-level gods".

According to the agreement, the probability of him getting the real answer is more than 88%.

However, the risk is also the greatest. Once the save fails, the Intelligence and Charisma will be reduced to 8 points, which will last for a full five weeks.

And the answers are mostly simple answers such as "yes", "no", "maybe" and "almost".

But Zhao Xu was different.

He directly connected to the plane of "Goddess of Magic" Sisilvina.

After going to the Kingdom of God, he has his own private VIP line.

After a while.

Zhao Xu's body and mind recovered from the other world.

With an angry expression, he looked at the indistinguishable position of the orc tent in the distance, and couldn't help shaking his head.

It turned out that the orc tribe in front attacked a passing business traveler, and it happened that a core mage of Mystra was arranged to try and hide among them.

Not to mention that the mage was beheaded on the spot, a goddess priest who passed by also died tragically and was even insulted.

"What a crime."

Zhao Xu commented.

He immediately flew towards the destination, bringing new death there. "

Deep in a gloomy and dark alley.

Most of the hotels on the street have been closed, only a tavern with three pale lanterns hanging in the deepest part is still open.

At this time, a rogue in a black night suit quietly walked into the tavern and glanced ahead.

At this time, the bartender on the bar was wiping the utensils in his hands.

The wanderer lowered his voice and asked, "Has anyone come to claim a reward recently?"

"What reward?" The bartender suddenly stopped his busy hands, and stared sharply at the wanderer who came to inquire.

At this time, in the tavern, among the drunken guests who were lying on the bar counter, many who heard this raised their heads and glanced at the wanderer man's back, like a shark smelling blood.

"It's the 'Basaru' tribe in the opposite mountain range." The wanderer said cautiously.

"No way." The bartender shook his head, "That's a medium-sized tribe with more than a thousand soldiers alone. Although the 'Hoyle' family is rich and powerful, they don't even think about how many people they can gather to cross the Icefield Mountains to conquer the opposite side. tribe of orcs."

"Mage Gaohuan's magic range is also limited, and he can only repel them head-on. It's hard to wipe them all out."

"I don't think their family's hatred will end so soon." The bartender analyzed with his years of experience.

"No." Suddenly the wanderer raised the decibel and woke up the customer who was sleeping, and was about to curse.

"I just received the spy information from the other side."

The wanderer said in an extremely terrified tone: "In less than half a day, the corpses of thousands of orc soldiers were lying all over the grass in the bloody lumberyard."

"The tribe not far away was also full of flames. The orcs in the entire tribe were burned alive inside, and no one managed to escape."

"It is said that the priest of the orc clan, the orc god of war, was so close to the ashes of the tribal cemetery that his legs almost went limp. The strong smell of death in it even frightened an evil priest who can rebuke the undead."

After listening to the other party's words, the bartender who was in charge of contacting the underground mission couldn't help swallowing his saliva even though he was used to strong winds and waves, showing an expression of disbelief.

"Boom boom."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door in the porch, startling everyone who was in a state of shock.

The bartender who suddenly came over was a little ashamed of his timidity just now, and immediately vented to the door and said: "If you don't understand the rules, just come in if you have something to do."

"Feel sorry."

At this time, a mysterious man slowly walked in from the door. He was covered with a cloak, and his appearance was also shrouded in a black veil.

It's just a little strange that the man's body is constantly dripping with drops of water, which is completely different from the clear night sky in Oru City.

"I heard that after completing the task, you can collect the previously delivered reward here." The man said calmly, without any anxiety.

Hearing that he was here to receive the mission reward, the bartender calmed down, "Bring me the mission certificate."

"Huh? They just issued me this certificate, saying that it's all right."

The bartender suddenly felt contemptuous. He has seen many little thieves who just filled out a false certificate and came to pretend to claim the task reward.

I just don't know how many punches the man in front of me can withstand?

The bartender thought so, and took the note by the way, and then froze.

[Secret Sword Alliance:

Mage Zi (Codename: Lone Star) has completed the task of annihilating the "Basaru" orc tribe. Please fulfill the reward offered for the task of the Hoyle family.

Proving party: Northern Alliance Branch of the Mage Association]

Below the letter is the seal of the association that no one dares to forge.

The red mud runs through the paper.

"No problem, right? If it really doesn't work, I can take you across hundreds of kilometers to have a look."

"But hurry up, if it drags on, they will clean it up."

"And I'm in a hurry." The mysterious man grinned, revealing his clean and bright teeth.
