The Truth of Magic - Chapter 657
Chapter 657
657 the song of r ‘lyeh, waiting for you to enter the dream
he listened to the ethereal calls that seemed to come from a chaotic dream.
Zhao Xu didn’t know why, but he could feel a sense of restlessness in the depths of his heart. It was as if a secret that he had been hiding for a long time had been revealed.
At this moment, he was in an extremely deep place, above the sea with endless waves under the dark night. It was as if a storm was about to hit, and he could even feel the howling of the wind at the edge.
“The wings of Swift flight.”
Zhao Xu immediately cast this Level 1 Warlock spell, and a pair of huge, broken, and translucent wings spread out from his back, flapping against the wind around him.
Now that he had the power of flight, Zhao Xu’s flying speed was increased by another level with this spell.
At the same time, he refreshed the duration of his God’s steps.
But Zhao Xu realized that it was still very difficult for him to maintain his form in a storm of his current level, so he continued to wave his hand and chant the spell to cast a level 4 spell-
“Advanced wings of air.”
When he touched the translucent wings on his back with the flying magic power in his palm, his mobility was instantly raised to the extreme.
Perfect level.
“R ‘lyeh-”
“hu-”
Higan’s ethereal voice once again woke Zhao Xu up from his deep thoughts.
Because this time, the deep voice was mixed with the sound of the waves, as if someone was whispering in his ear.
In an instant, Zhao Xu charged forward. In the process, he forced himself to turn around and look back to see what was going on behind him.
many years later, zhao xu still couldn’t forget what he had just witnessed.
On the surface of the sea where the waves were raging, a building made of ancient boulders suddenly appeared.
It was surrounded by sea grass, mud, and other sediment that only existed in the deep sea, and even the rotten bones of sea monsters.
Countless stone pillars of different shapes and styles emerged from the stone building.
At this moment, under the pure black sky, this mysterious wonder exuded a cold green light, as if it was just a huge stone fortress that had just revealed its tip.
And those statues were completely different from any of the knowledge that Zhao Xu had in his mind. They had never existed in the world of Arthur before.
In fact, anyone who stepped into it would have their sense of space blurred by these twisted and strange geometric stones.
It was impossible to distinguish which was above and which was below.
Zhao Xu didn’t see any living creatures, but he felt a sense of ” fear ” in his heart.
“Laleiya”
At this moment, the giant stone fortress once again let out a cry that came from the deep sea. It pierced through Zhao Xu’s eardrums and made him recall the ancient mysteries.
It was as if he could see the door that represented the end of the universe.
At this moment, he even felt that the knowledge (mysterious) skill that he had to read countless mysterious books to level up was finally showing signs of loosening.
Even though Zhao Xu was on high alert right now, he still couldn’t resist those mysterious murmurs.
The true essence of magic had been re-sorted. It was laid bare in front of him.
The so-called profound truth that could not be passed on to six ears was no longer a secret at this moment.
The knowledge structure and spell model that had been difficult to understand were washed away again. He even felt that the barrier between him and sixth-circle arcane spells no longer existed.
But as he listened, Zhao Xu noticed that the eye of concealment crystal floating above his head was suddenly starting to crack, as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer.
The ” bright ” white light that had been shooting out from the center of the crystal, which had been protecting Zhao Xu in the form of the Guardian’s oath, was also starting to disappear.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you have lost the barrier that blocks detection and the effects of magic items, spells, and psionic power that affect your mind. [ lost all resistance to the effects of the ‘mind affecting’ and ‘detection’ descriptions. ]
What was going on?
At this moment, Zhao Xu, who had just woken up, immediately took out his instant Supreme magic staff from his storage glove.
“Avoid detection!”
[ adventurer zhongxia, your level 3 spell ‘avoid detection’ has failed. ]
Originally, this spell would have made it difficult for divination spells to detect Zhao Xu, and it could even interfere with his divination.
Zhao Xu’s casting was just to test the waters.
However, he didn’t expect that the hour-level spell would lose all its effects in less than a second.
At this moment, the “murmurs” in his ears were accompanied by “crazy” roars, as if they came from hell.
There was even an invisible sharp claw that appeared behind Zhao Xu and was reaching for his back, clashing with the wind that was blowing through the air.
Zhao Xu just controlled his invisible wings and then touched his heart, which was still beating, and shouted calmly.
power of the chosen, magic reward, level eight, choose ‘mind barrier’.
In the next second, in his character card’s chosen template, among the nine levels on the list of reward spells, a spell-like ability like ” mental barrier ” appeared in the eighth level.
It also appeared in the depths of Zhao Xu’s mind at the same time and was activated at the first touch.
“Spirit Barrier!”
Zhao Xu activated this God-bestowed spell again.
The eye of concealment was essentially a mental barrier.
And it was actually destroyed by the murmurs, so Zhao Xu’s most direct reaction was to use this spell again.
At this moment, he was like a traveler in a quagmire. He could only follow his instincts and try to grab onto all the ropes.
After he finished casting the spell, the 8th-circle arcane spell, mind barrier, which was also an 8th-circle divine spell that protected the territory, once again let out a familiar glow and enveloped Zhao Xu’s body.
It would block all magic and effects that affected his mind, including all divination spells or divination effects.
[ adventurer zhongxia, your level 8 spell ‘mind barrier’ has failed. ]
The 24-hour duration of the spell was instantly exhausted.
It was so fast that Zhao Xu didn’t even have time to blink.
However, the chosen one’s reward spell could only be activated once a day, no matter which level it was!
At this moment, the murmurs in his ears were getting more and more ear-piercing, as if someone was scratching a Blackboard with their nails. It even felt like someone was using a needle to Pierce Zhao Xu’s eardrums.
He was already feeling a little exhausted. He had lost control of his perfect flight ability that could withstand the strong wind, and his entire body was swaying like a swing in the sky above the sea.
Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and his eyes became even colder as he scanned through all the data on his character stats.
He still had a trump card!
“Iron core strength!”
The power of martial arts was also displayed at this moment.
As long as Iron Heart strength could last one round, he could use the special property of the ” military sword ” to recover all his martial arts skills with swift action in each round and then use it again.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you currently do not have any negative status. ]
No debuffs!
zhao xu’s heart grew even colder when he saw this line of text.
However, he thought about it.
He did not belong to any of the six restricting States, including stun, prone position, grappling, suppression, entanglement, or intimidation.
He was also not in any of the eight states of paralysis, paralysis, restraint, sleep, unconsciousness, shock, petrification, or paralysis.
Even though he was panicking inside, his character stats didn’t show any of the three great fear States, tremble, fear, or panic.
The other effects such as dizziness, blindness, deafness, poison, and attribute damage were all irrelevant.
“Silence!”
At this moment, Zhao Xu was so desperate that he cast this spell to block out all sounds.
All the sound of the waves immediately disappeared.
It was as if he had sensed the call in his dream and the murmurs of death.
It was only then that Zhao Xu realized that an invisible pair of hands had finally wrapped themselves tightly around him after he had used Iron Heart strength.
The flow of spells in his body also stopped at this moment.
In the next second, Zhao Xu also lost the last bit of his ” ability to fly “, and his entire body was free-falling into the vast ocean.
They fell into the sea like cannonballs.
The focus in his eyes started to blur.
“Time backtrack!”
In the end, at the very last moment, Zhao Xu activated the time backtrack talisman that he had never used before.
In an instant, he was back in the sky.
However, this only delayed the time of falling into the sea by six seconds.
This time, Zhao Xu had no choice but to use his final trump card.
“Silver Fire”!
That Azure and silvery-white light once again gathered around him. He had regained his ability to fly, and his body temperature that had already been lost had also returned.
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but gasp for air. The moment he had been waiting for had finally come.
However, the silver Fire that was burning around him was also weakening as if it was about to be extinguished by the storm.
This made Zhao Xu even more frustrated.
He could feel the silver Fire that was constantly spewing out of his body, but it could only last for a few more minutes.
This was just barely delaying his death.
the look in zhao xu’s eyes also became more and more determined.
he had no way to avoid it.
immediately, as the wind continued to blow around him, zhao xu flapped the wings on his back and charged towards the stone building in front of him.
He was like a shooting star that was fading away, blooming with its last afterglow.
The silver Fire that protected his body was also being worn down, slowly being worn down by the ear-piercing whispers that were filled with endless mysteries that once again spread from the abyss.
“Bang!”
A sharp collision sound was heard.
Zhao Xu landed in a very unglamorous position in a pit filled with stone tablets that were standing in all directions.
at this moment, he raised his head with a hint of confusion in his eyes and looked at the huge stone gate in front of him.
on the stone door, there was a carving of a head that looked like an octopus in the deep sea with many tentacles. at the same time, it also had four human limbs, but the hands were shaped like hooks.
Its entire body was a tall mountain made of rubber, covered with countless wet and sticky scales, and a pair of bat-like leather wings on its back.
however, what was truly terrifying was the ” aura ” behind the statue!
At that moment, Zhao Xu finally felt a sense of familiarity.
The last time was when he had seen the legendary Ernest’s arrival!
Then, the stone door slowly opened.
The mysterious and ancient whisper sounded again, but this time, it did not come from his eardrums, but from the deep stone gate cave in front of him.
in the eternal House of R ‘lyeh, the Marquis of Cthulhu who is in eternal sleep enters the dream.
