The Truth of Magic

he wanted to scold himself for thinking too much. he actually didn’t understand the basic meaning of the name ” antonya. ”

but he could more or less understand another reason why antonya was always wearing a hood.

Zhao Xu could tell from Antonya’s sweet and soft voice that she wasn’t older than 20 years old.

However, when he saw that Antonya, who had always been his mentor, actually looked about the same age as a high school student on earth, he felt a little awkward.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Xu had been 30 years old in his previous life. According to Arthur’s tradition of getting married early, many people his age would probably have daughters about the same age as Antonya.

The traceless time spell allowed Antonya to lock onto her own age. As long as she didn’t take off her necklace, she would always look like a young girl who wasn’t even twenty years old.

if antonya had been squatting on the ground, zhao xu would have had the urge to go over there and ruffle her hair, let alone look majestic.

This disciple of his was like that, and there were only mid to high-level Wizards in the entire floating city. It was probably even harder for him to show any respect to Antonya.

Zhao Xu had looked at the calendar of legendary Wizards before. Most of them considered maintaining their youthful looks, and they were basically middle-aged or old.

During the three stages of Arthur’s life-middle age, old age, and old age-their strength and agility would decline by one, two, and three points, until they would eventually decline by six points.

As for intelligence, perception, and charm, they were each enhanced by one point, and in the end, they increased by three points.

for mages, many mages would accept this ” aging ” effect, even if the loss of the front three areas was more severe.

“ai.” after a while, zhao xu couldn’t help but sigh.

after seeing antonya’s real face, he had almost imagined her wearing JK’s clothing from earth. as expected, he had also had that thought.

Zhao Xu snapped his fingers and cast a ” magic trick. he felt a cold chill down his spine and it made him sober up.

According to his guess, Antonya’s charm attribute had probably reached a point where it was difficult to estimate. naturally, when he took a look, he would be deeply fascinated by the other party’s appearance.

with this chill, antonya’s figure finally became a little more blurry in zhao xu’s eyes.

zhao xu also came back to his senses and carefully looked at his ” advanced class ability. ”

double elite originally only allowed him to advance in one path, but zhao xu had once made a vow to the source of magic, which allowed him to break through this limitation.

so this time, both his arcana and divine arts had advanced.

at this point, his arcane spellcaster level had reached level 6.

In terms of divine spellcaster level, his Level 1 cleric was still independent, and the level 1 curse Guardian was stacked on his Level 4 archivist, so he was now equivalent to a level 5 divine spellcaster, which meant that he had obtained a level 3 divine spell.

at this moment, zhao xu’s gaze was on his advanced arcane spell,’supreme magic sculptor.’

There were three prerequisites for this advanced profession.

The first was the prerequisite for the skill. He had long been satisfied with Level 5 knowledge (mysterious), Level 5 Spellcraft (carving), and Level 3 craftsmanship (carving). He had also improved it in the past ten days. Now, any statue he casually carved would look good.

The second prerequisite was that he had to master two metamagic abilities. Zhao Xu had mastered spontaneous casting (iron will replacement) and spell endurance (a reward for becoming a level 5 wizard), so he had met these requirements as well.

The last and third condition was that he had to be able to cast a level 3 spell, which went without saying.

It could be said that the prerequisite for this advancement was not harsh. Even if there was a requirement for the specialty, those mages with metamagic specialties would not lose out if they learned it.

It was unlike the advancement of incantation Summoner, which required a specialty like iron will, which could only increase the bonus of will immunity and was not cost-effective.

Zhao Xu didn’t need it, so he used a level 8 spell to convert iron will into another specialty. If asvich and Wang Ningwei wanted to advance to incantation level, they had to keep this specialty.

however, only zhao xu and a few of the higher-ups in the association knew just how powerful this ” advanced profession ” that had been banned for so long was.

in fact, it would be an exaggeration to say that every time zhao xu gained a metamagic ability, his combat power would increase exponentially.

At this moment, Zhao Xu looked at the Level 1 class ability of the Super Magic sculpting emissaries-” Super Magic control.

this class ability allowed him to transmute his spells by taking elemental damage.

For an average spell caster to make their spells Supreme, they had to prepare the required circle spell slots.

If one wanted to cast a level zero detection spell in a hurry, it would have to be paired with the metamagic ability spontaneous casting at the cost of increasing their level four spell slots.

in other words, he would need to use a level 4 spell slot to cast an ‘insta-cast detect spell’, and this was something that zhao xu couldn’t do at the moment.

At the same time, among the metamagic abilities, there were also ‘Maximize Spell’ and ‘Empower Spell’ that strengthened the effect of spells, and ‘spell upgrade’ that made it harder for spells to be immune.

therefore, even though the mages felt heartache, they would still learn a few key ” metamagic abilities, ” especially ” spontaneous casting “, which involved casting time. they would not miss it.

and for zhao xu, who had supreme magic control, he didn’t need to increase his circle level to cast supreme magic spells anymore.

For example, spontaneous casting required level 4, so he could choose to let one of his attributes take 4 points of damage in exchange.

this meant that while other people’s instant fireball spell was a level 7 spell, zhao xu’s instant fireball spell was still a level 3 spell. the only difference was that one of his stats would be reduced by four points.

Moreover, his attributes could be recovered, even if he was only resting.

for example, spells like ‘spell recovery’ and ‘secondary restoration’ that could recover elemental damage were also effective, as long as he passed a level 20 spellcaster’s check.

thinking about this, zhao xu went straight to the sacred heart cathedral next door, picked an empty room, and started meditating to obtain the divine spells he had received today.

after about an hour of preparation, zhao xu refreshed the list of divine spells he had prepared. after preparing new divine spells, he could now cast level 3 divine spells.

supreme magic control consumed attributes, but it could be recovered through restoration and the like. it was powerful, but not strong enough.

zhao xu needed to find a way to get things done once and for all.

It was impossible that he had to think about how to recover his attributes while casting spells during battle.

at this moment, zhao xu held his breath and slowly cast the new level 3 divine spell that he had just received for priests, ” mental protection. ”

as he cast the spell, a gentle glow appeared in zhao xu’s palm. it was just like a healing spell cast by a priest. as long as this gentle ball of energy came into contact with the target creature, the spell would take effect.

Compared to close-range, mid-range, and long-range spells, this sort of ” touch ” long-range spell was indeed a lot more dangerous. But Zhao Xu’s target was himself, so he didn’t have any problems casting it.

zhao xu immediately pressed the ball of energy against his chest.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you cast energy protection on yourself. you are immune to fatigue, energy exhaustion, attribute damage, and attribute absorption effects (regardless of the source). duration: 7 minutes. ]

Immunity was the strongest defense.

at this moment, zhao xu continued to test the waters. he activated the metamagic control ability in his mind and then fused the spell endurance ability into his level 2 spell, ghoststrike.

in an instant, the power of supreme magic control also reflected an attribute damage that was directed at zhao xu, and zhao xu directed it directly at his constitution.

[ adventurer zhongxia, your ‘mental protection’ spell is immune to 6 Constitution damage from ‘Supreme magic control’. ]

[ adventurer zhongxia, you cast ghoststrike on yourself (spell duration). time: 24 hours (originally 1 round) ]

the two notifications directly told him that he had really succeeded.

Even though Zhao Xu had been mentally prepared for this, he still felt a surge of excitement when he saw this.

This meant that from now on, all spells that fit the ‘spell endurance’ format would become 24 hours in his hands.

In the future, when he fought with others, he could easily raise his hand and instantly cast spells.

It must be known that the ‘Ultra Magic spell instantaneous scepter’ in his hand was worth 170000 gold coins just for the three instantaneous spells he could cast a day.

But in Zhao Xu’s eyes, his Supreme magical control had no limit to the number of times it could be used. It wasn’t like the priest’s Holy Supreme magical ability, which was limited by the number of times it could dispel undead creatures.

With this, he had officially embarked on the unsolvable path of a mage, and had begun to be associated with the word ” master mage.

When he had more metamagic abilities, from then on, when others saw his fireballs, they would be paired with effects such as ” spontaneous casting, ” ” Maximize Spell ” (full damage), ” Empower Spell ” (+50% damage), ” spell upgrade ” (increase difficulty), ” spell expansion ” (increase area), ” spell twins ” (two fireballs), and other effects.
