Chapter 291



291 The eve of the final battle

When Zhao Xu saw this, he instantly knew that his entire plan had to be changed.

According to Wang Ningwei and asvich, they were in a maze at the beginning. One day, they suddenly couldn’t use magic items above Level-5. After the space-time changed, they came to this place and most of their magic items were destroyed.

It wasn’t easy to escape the pursuit of various undead creatures before entering this tower with a portal. This tower was like a forbidden zone, and very few undead creatures would approach it.

However, there were Still Undead creatures in the tower, and it was the same for the upper floors. Although the level of the skeletons and zombies wasn’t high, they weren’t something that new mages like them who hadn’t mastered second-circle spells could destroy. The main reason was that their scrolls had long been used up in the previous battle.

on one hand, undead creatures like zombies and skeletons didn’t have any intelligence. although they couldn’t adapt, it was also destined that they would only follow their plans. even if wang ningwei and asvich could come up with any negotiation plans, they wouldn’t be able to understand. they were like cold machines.

” if it’s just undead creatures like skeletons and zombies without intelligence, i have a third-circle ‘invisibility magic ball’ that can let us break through together. ” Zhao Xu said.

however, ashvich shook his head. ” every floor above has the effect of true vision. it’s useless. ”

“According to the information I received three hours ago, the Association will organize an attack led by a legendary-mage in another three hours. at that time, if we can reach the teleportation gate on the top floor and get out of the city, we will definitely be able to escape. If we stay in this city, the battle will be intense, and the legendary mages may not be able to take care of us. I estimate that there’s a 50% chance of us escaping.” Wang Ningwei told him the information she had obtained in private.

Ashvich thought that Zhao Xu didn’t understand, so she immediately explained, ” “it’s because the association knows that the two half-planes of the ‘scavenger mine’ and the ‘land of the sleeping’ have suddenly merged. The importance and urgency of the entire incident have been directly promoted.”

Zhao Xu also nodded. This made sense.

now that the land of the sleeping had appeared, if the sorcerer’s association were to remain silent in the beginning, it would be too outdated.

but this meant that the final battle would begin in two hours, and it was so fast that zhao xu wasn’t even mentally prepared for it.

He could only feel a tinge of regret.

the many mysterious buildings outside the city and the true secret behind the death god’s establishment could only be explored in the future.

zhao xu didn’t expect that he would run into wang ningwei and asvich when he came to this tower just to get a better view. and there was also a teleportation door here, which meant that he had found a shortcut to get through this place.

He could naturally use his undead characteristics to reach the top without any obstacles, but they did not have the support of this divine power.

Even if Zhao Xu pretended to be escorting them, the skeletons wouldn’t listen to him. They would just blindly attack any living thing that they saw.

After thinking it through, Zhao Xu opened up his backpack and took out some blank scrolls, magic ink, and a Quill.

he could not bring magic scrolls in, but he could bring the tools to produce them.

Zhao Xu heaved a sigh of relief and unfurled the scroll. He then picked up a pen and started copying spells from it.

wang ningwei and asvich looked at zhao xu’s actions and couldn’t help but be a little stunned. they didn’t understand what the other person was doing.

“Is it too late to copy the scroll?” ashvich asked, ” are you going to copy spells that can only be used on yourself for us? ”

wang ningwei and asvich looked at zhao xu, who was completely focused, and they roughly understood what was going on.

it was obvious that zhao xu had a way to deal with this situation, but his opponent’s spells were probably the type that could only be used on him.

This was because copying scrolls also consumed spell slots, so he might as well just cast spells on them.

So Zhao Xu had no choice but to copy down a scroll and have them each use a scroll to cast spells on themselves.

zhao xu, who was copying down this scroll, was so focused that he even forgot that he was in a country where only undead creatures existed.

all the sounds in the outside world were filtered out by him, and all living things fell into silence at this moment.

However, the quill in his hand was indeed like a trickle, slowly guiding the magic energy in his mind to the scroll that was only 30 centimeters long.

Even though Wang Ningwei didn’t have her detection spell on and she didn’t have the third-circle “Mystic sight,” she could feel that the pen in Zhao Xu’s hand was glowing.

time slowly passed by, and when it was almost an hour or so, the quill in zhao xu’s hand finally finished drawing the last stroke. all of a sudden, all of the magic power was retracted, and the flow of magic power immediately stabilized.

A Level-2 scroll with a selling price of 150 gold coins was immediately produced.

Just a 2nd-circle spell slot, along with the cost of 75 gold coins ‘worth of materials, and after paying some energy, could be converted into a 150 gold coin 2nd-circle scroll.

Scrolls were one of the cheapest ways of casting spells in Arthur. As long as one mastered the practical Magic Device skill, they could use scrolls to cast spells at any time.

it was even more convenient for spellcasters to use scrolls.

Zhao Xu handed the scroll he had just finished copying to ” Wang Ningwei ” and then quickly started copying the second scroll.

“it’s the second ring’s undying shroud.” Wang Ningwei couldn’t help but exclaim as she held the scroll in her hand.

then, she told ashvich about the effect of the spell that she had recognized.

ashvich’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at zhao xu with admiration in her eyes. ” it’s only been a few days since we last met, and you look more like a wizard than we do. The moment he heard that ‘invisibility’ was useless, he immediately reacted and used this ‘undead’ spell. The art of truth could break the invisible ‘illusion’, but it couldn’t break the’ dead spirit’. It was indeed ingenious. We’re just covered in a layer of negative energy.”

In the end, when Zhao Xu finished copying the second scroll, he took a piece of cloth and wiped away his sweat. He had spent two hours and forty minutes just to get these two undying shroud scrolls.

However, during the whole process of copying, he was very satisfied. The details of countless spells were re-mastered by him bit by bit during the process.

Now, even if Zhao Xu was asked to come up with the structure of this spell out of thin air, he wouldn’t be completely clueless.

After Zhao Xu gave them some simple instructions, Wang Ningwei and ashvich also took out their scrolls and cast the undying shroud spell.

Immediately, their faces turned pale, as if they had lost all blood.

Everyone felt that time was tight and immediately set off to climb the tower.

zhao xu had once tested the barrier of the undead spell on the corpse square. undead creatures that didn’t have any intelligence wouldn’t be able to figure out what was wrong with this spell.

Every floor of the tower was guarded by skeletons and zombies. Zhao Xu even saw skeleton Dragons on the fifth floor, and they even had all five colors.

but the moment they became skeletons, they lost their brains and naturally, they didn’t have any intelligence. so, they couldn’t tell that zhao xu and the others were actually living people. they thought that they were just undead creatures.

just like that, this tower that even a level 10 team might not be able to reach the top of easily was tricked by zhao xu’s undying shroud spell and they didn’t encounter any obstacles at all.

In the end, the three of them reached the top of the tower, which was the top of the clock tower.

“The entire process was so fast that it was unbelievable.” ashvich sighed. she didn’t expect that the tower that had blocked them for half a day would be cleared so easily by a ” 2nd-circle spell. ”

“In fact, if we were fifth-circle spell casters, we could use the teleportation spell to leave. Fourth-circle spell casters could use any portal to reach the top. therefore, this tower has to not set up a teleportation gate. otherwise, no matter how strong the monsters on the floor are, it will be meaningless.” Zhao Xu explained.

After all, the powerhouses in Arthur were not cabbages. They would not deliberately set up bosses to guard the checkpoint just to welcome adventurers who would come at an unknown time.

being able to arrange for some unintelligent skeletons was already the most basic guarantee. at the very least, they could block most of the rascals that could possibly infiltrate.

Zhao Xu walked up to the portal and couldn’t help but take a good look at the door frame that was as tall as two people.

According to Wang Ningwei’s new information, this door frame could teleport to ten places in the city, and one of the coordinates was outside the city.

once there, they would return to the jurisdiction of the original ” scavenger beast mine ” half-plane.

At that time, the legendary-mage killed by the death god, the will controller who possessed the demiplane, would arrange for them to leave smoothly. They could even meet the legendary-mages who had barged in there.

” well, according to the association’s request, we’ll wait here for another ten minutes. when the legendary mages break through the time node of the half-plane, we can enter the portal. ” wang ningwei said. she looked at the two people behind her and asked for everyone’s opinion.

Zhao Xu and ashvich both nodded to confirm that everything was fine.

I’m afraid these two planes will be sealed in the future. Ashvich suddenly showed a sad expression and looked back at the city under the tower. The wind was whistling in the air.

anyway, we’ll be able to get the ‘iron will’ specialty automatically when we go out, so it doesn’t matter. Zhao Xu consoled her.

Time was of the essence, so Wang Ningwei took out the mechanical pocket watch from her pocket. After losing all her magic items, only this mechanical realm item could continue to work.

“3?”

“2?”

“1?”

as wang ningwei counted down, she walked into the portal and shouted, ” outside the city. ”

Ashvich immediately followed and shouted, ” “Outside the city,”

Zhao Xu, who was at the bottom of the group, just chuckled. He reached out and touched the mirror of the teleportation portal that was rippling and glowing. He shouted,

“the temple.”
