Chapter 503



503 The realm of decay, the violent mage

After handing over the tasks to the Shen siblings, Zhao Xu picked up his pace and headed towards the lair of the six sisters that he had secretly found out about in his previous life.

Compared to the flat terrain of the Alliance below, the environment above the ice Mountain range was even crueler.

Perhaps it was because of the heavy snow in the winter that all the scenery had melted into the same color. Ordinary people would become Snow Blind after looking at it for a long time, let alone distinguish the direction and position.

Forest rangers who did not have enough survival level would not be able to find the right path in this snowy weather.

But it wasn’t enough to stop Zhao Xu from easily casting the Ranger’s first circle divine spell, Leyline detection.

The green Reiki created a map of the nearby terrain in his mind, showing the cities, villages, and famous ruins within 50 kilometers.

Even after the spiritual Qi had disappeared, these images were still firmly imprinted in his mind, allowing him to clearly see how far he was from his target.

This also meant that Zhao Xu didn’t need to use the sixth-circle spell,’find shortcuts’ or ‘teleport’.

Moreover, he also needed to leave some time for the Shen siblings to contact them.

Finally, on the second day, just as he was about to arrive at his first destination, Zhao Xu found his way to the six sisters ‘lair.

There was a very well-hidden gap in the mountain Valley, and it was no different from the snow around it. As Zhao Xu got closer, he put on invisibility, and under the wind and snow around him, it would be very difficult for anyone to notice him in his invisible state.

After looking around for a while, Zhao Xu realized that there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary around him. It was just a very ordinary snowy scene.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhao Xu knew where this place was, most people wouldn’t have been able to imagine that this was the six sisters ‘nest.

As a wizard, Zhao Xu naturally wouldn’t be so stupid as to wait for someone to come in and out before opening the door.

He paced around a few times and quietly approached the wall of a cave. He immediately waved the staff in his hand.

Suddenly, a mysterious golden light shot out from his hand-the “wall-passing technique.”

This level five spell of a mage made all the walls and barriers set up in the underground cities become a joke.

The through wall spell could create a passage of three meters deep on wooden, plaster, and even stone walls. On the basis that a level 9 could cast a level 5 spell, it could be two meters deeper for every three levels.

In the end, he used his level-17 staff to create a six to seven-meter tunnel. Without any delay, Zhao Xu barged in and immediately cast an illusion on the outside of the wall.

However, after a few steps, he found that he was in the wrong position. He did not stick to the entrance of the cave, so he did not break through the wall within six meters, only forming a short tunnel.

If he had mastered a sixth-circle spell like the ‘illusionary spirit body’, he would have been able to float all the way in on the spot.

Zhao Xu naturally didn’t think too much about it, so he continued to use his go through wall spell to clear a path.

The power of the spell was like a burning candle, instantly melting the road ahead, and the bright light came in.

“Who is it?”

Instantly, a series of exclamations could be heard.

Zhao Xu was dumbfounded.

That’s not right?

When he had been invited to this place, there had clearly been no ambush set up in the middle of the corridor, aside from the main entrance. Otherwise, Zhao Xu wouldn’t have wasted two wall-climbing spells to get in.

“Thump.”

“Thump.”

Then, a deafening sound rang out. Even though Zhao Xu was hiding in the tunnel, he could still hear it very clearly.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but let out a breath as well. The air current blew the hair on his forehead away.

He was supposed to play stealth mode, but it turned out to be barging in.

If he had done so, he could have just used a fireball to wash the floor outside the door and reveal the door.

At this moment, a martial artist in simple armor and holding a machete blocked the last tunnel that Zhao Xu had created with his go-through wall spell. His figure could be seen faintly under the light from behind.

Zhao Xu didn’t waste any more time and just charged forward.

As a wizard who had gained a level 8 spellcaster level and 16 nameless power from the realm of decline, he was more like a powerful warrior.

“Who is it? Hurry up and kneel down.” The patrolling warrior berated. Although he couldn’t see anyone in the light behind him, he could still feel the cold wind in his face, as if the ice and snow outside the cave had penetrated in.

However, Zhao Xu in front of him lifted up a black jade stick that didn’t look very thick and strong, and then he swung it down towards his head.

The invisibility spell also disappeared.

The minions guarding the nest couldn’t help but exclaim. It was hard to understand why a man in a mage’s robe was waving a wooden stick at him.

“Bang Bang.” The two sounds stopped abruptly.

The shrieking also stopped.

Even though Zhao Xu was a wizard, he had to rely on the shameless trait of being a double elite class that had the advantage of both sides.

Under the condition that a level 7 mage could only have a Tier 3 attack, he had already reached Tier 5 attack and successfully awakened the combo ability from his previous life.

From now on, it was up to Zhao Xu to figure out how to achieve a level 6 attack. This also meant that as a wizard, he had to start picking up the basic martial arts.

As for this unlucky minion who had come over to patrol, he could not understand why his armor was like paper, unable to block the other party’s weapon at all.

Even the mage’s wooden club seemed to have become so huge as if it was an illusion.

The wooden stick that seemed to be less than a meter in length hit him, but it felt like a wall was pressing down on him.

Zhao Xu looked at the martial artist who had fainted and was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and nodded his head.

“How is that possible?”

“Hurry up and inform the Lord.”

At this moment, a small patrol team rushed over from behind. Aside from the felt inside, they were also wearing raw leather armor. They didn’t look like they were of very high level, and they were looking at Zhao Xu with extremely wary eyes.

No one could understand why the guard, who was capable of ringing the alarm bell, would be defeated face to face after two crisp sounds, especially when the other party seemed to be a mage with a wooden stick.

Zhao Xu had a smile on his face as he casually waved the wooden stick in his hand and picked out the targets in front of him.

It wasn’t hard for him to understand why the other party was acting so strange.

This was because no one could have guessed that Zhao Xu’s strength had gone from 8 points to 24 points after he used the power of death from the decay domain, which had given him 16 points of strength.

Before everyone’s eyes, he did not rely on any other buffs. Just his most basic attack power had easily reached level 12 (5 classes +7 Strength Challenge +2 weapon enchantment-2 flaws).

In terms of damage, advanced Beyonder smite, which could turn the weapon’s power into ‘massive’ damage, was an hour-level spell in itself.

In the past, Zhao Xu had to use it during a battle. Now that his spellcaster level had reached level 23, it naturally became a ‘get out of bed’ buff that would cover him 24/7.

With one strike, his 7 points of strength also brought about an additional 1.5 times damage, which was about 10 points.

This was also the first time that Zhao Xu had received an additional attack from his strength. Before this, he had only been able to deal less damage because he didn’t have enough strength.

So, these people couldn’t imagine that the Zhao Xu in front of them was actually a warrior who was also around Level 7.

Zhao Xu didn’t show any mercy to the group of Level 2 and Level 3 minions. He continued to charge forward and hit them one by one with his staff, just like a strong gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

In an instant, the tunnel, which was originally designed to be narrow and easy to defend, was filled with screams that echoed each other.

violent mage. It feels pretty good.

zhao xu felt a little sweat on his body and he turned around to look. the man-made tunnel behind him was dark red and stained with blood. the ground was already covered with bodies, and blood was seeping out from the ground.

no, I should say that being a mage with equipment is too much of a scoundrel.

Zhao Xu silently evaluated himself.

On his way here, he had slightly recollected the feeling of a gang fight in the bar in his previous life in Arthur.

Naturally, at that time, their fists were hitting flesh, bones and muscles colliding.

But this time, everyone was holding a sharp weapon, and Zhao Xu, who was using a blunt wooden stick, was the most conservative.

It was just that this level of struggle didn’t even cause him to be the least bit nervous.

A group of ordinary guards without magic weapons could not even break his basic Mage Armor and shield spell, let alone his starry cloak. The tier 8 force field Armor’s shield bonus could not break them.

“Swish.” A sound was heard.

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t cast any spells to Dodge the attack.

A pitch-black arrow landed on his body, piercing through all his defenses on the spot.

A strong Esper!

Zhao Xu twisted his body slightly and watched as the sharp triangular arrow bounced off and fell to the ground.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you have passed reflective Dodge. Starry cloak’s effect has been activated. You have dodged 50% of the damage. ]

In the end, after Zhao Xu reached Level 7, he would instinctively cast the Level 4 spell ruins Explorer’s wealth on himself every morning after he woke up. It successfully gave him the reflex evasion ability of a rogue.

With this ability, he had also increased the star Cloak’s 50% damage avoidance effect to 100%.

As long as his reflex Dodge didn’t fail, an average person wouldn’t be able to hit him with this method.

“Eh? You do have some skills.”

he saw a woman with long hair and wearing a chain-mail shirt standing on a high platform in the empty cave. she was looking at zhao xu in surprise.

“Get out of the way.” Zhao Xu said coldly.

Zhao Xu looked at this woman who looked quite similar to Zheng xinyun. Even though he knew that her hands were stained with a lot of blood, he still didn’t attack her.

After all, he was not a completely righteous Dao protector.

—————

“Sister Ningwei, how much longer until we arrive?”

With the sound of the carriage’s wheels stopping, Zheng xinyun, who looked like an innocent young girl, looked at the quiet woman who was reading a magic book in peace beside her and asked.

“At least a week? You’re going to start school soon?” the road after entering the northern Alliance is always blocked by the great snow Phoenix. It’s not that easy to walk, ” Wang Ningwei replied.

no, but it’s a good thing that I met my sister. Otherwise, I don’t know how long I’d have to spend on this mission journey to Starfall town. Zheng xinyun said with a smile. For some reason, she felt very comfortable sitting beside this female mage.

No wonder she had heard his name countless times during Mistra’s training.

since we both came out from Luca city’s teleportation portal and have the same destination, it must be fate that we met. Wang Ningwei was also smiling as she looked at the girl who also looked like she had walked out of a painting. Her heart was also burning.
