The Truth of Magic-Chapter 648
648 Chapter 648 the book of the abyss
After the meeting, Zhao Xu used his ” short message ” spell to contact Antonya and expressed his desire to talk to her face to face.
It was a good thing Antonya was currently in Arthur’s main world. When she heard his request, she immediately used a high-level teleportation to appear in front of him.
Zhao Xu also told her everything about how he had experienced the undead horde and his subsequent adventures in the mysterious cave.
Strange cave, Arthur’s Dragon Crystal, mysterious old man invincible champion, mage personality, Nine Swords, military sword, White Crow Iron Heart sect, paradise of humanity, elf God and death, reforge the sword, kill artificial death, guide the survivors to escape.
As he said these keywords, Zhao Xu started to reevaluate his experience in the cave. It had only been a few days, but the actual experience was so shocking that many players might not even be able to compare to what they had experienced in seven or eight months.
And there was something that Zhao Xu didn’t expect.
Upon hearing that he had already mastered Ironheart strength, Antonya remained calm and collected.
antonya raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard that he had killed artificial death. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
In fact, Antonya had even pouted in disdain when she heard the name ” invincible nie ” from the underground cave, which had claimed to be her father’s. It was as if even hearing it would dirty her ears.
It was only when he told her that the first owner of humanity’s paradise was the ” elven God corilone ” that Antonya’s body started to sway a little.
And the skilled players who had dug out the cave after him were organized by Zhao Xu to go back and explore again. They followed the route that he had given them and found the Dragonshard vein.
At this time, the thousand-plus people were planning how to plan a suitable ” mining ” route to transfer the Dragon crystals to the surface at the lowest cost.
Antonya had only urged him to hurry up and go with him to retrieve the treasure that they had agreed on after hearing that he had such an idea, and with the storm that was about to form a flood.
It was just that no matter how much Zhao Xu thought about it, he would never have guessed that he would actually be going to retrieve the treasure. He had to first strengthen his body’s static panel.
Zhao Xu’s six main attributes were already off the charts.
Strength 53:8 inborn, 6 enhanced (divine power), 5 inner (manual), 30 nameless (dying), 4 Holy (wrath of justice).
Agility 26:13 natural, 4 enhanced (siren), 5 internal (manual), 4 sacred (charming mind)
Physique 17:14 natural, 5 internal (manual), -2 nameless (death contract)
Intelligence 29:16 natural, 6 enhanced (headscarf), 5 inner (wish), 2 nameless (level up)
Perception 19:14 natural, 5 internal (manual)
Charm 30:13 natural, 4 enhanced (siren), 5 inner (manual).
Although it was embarrassing to have the lowest perception and Constitution as a spellcaster who relied on divine arts for a living, these values, especially the power, were enough to make people doubt their lives.
Because the bonus points of the same name couldn’t be stacked, the only thing that Zhao Xu could still strengthen was the ” increase ” bonus points.
Strength and intelligence were both enhanced by 6 points, charm and agility were enhanced by 4 points with the siren’s grace spell, but perception and Constitution were not enhanced.
On one hand, the bull’s strength and Fox’s Cunning, which were the most common spells that players came into contact with to increase their attributes by 4 points, were all only minute-level spells. Unless Zhao Xu felt like he was in a pain in the ass, he wouldn’t choose to use them.
So for most of the players, unless they could have ‘spell endurance’ like Zhao Xu and also master ‘divine power’ and ‘siren’s grace’ at the same time, the most direct way to increase their strength was through equipment.
But equipment would take up equipment slots, and the only magic item that could increase one’s Constitution was the talisman slot. Zhao Xu already had the time backtrack talisman and the arsenson cross, so he couldn’t fit them all in.
That was why he was extremely curious about how Antonya had helped him increase his attributes.
But the method was in the abyss?
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. He instantly understood why the other party wanted him to be fully armed.
His knowledge (plane) skill immediately retrieved everything about the abyss.
Most of the outer Planes had extremely complex dimensional spaces. It was common for them to have multiple layers of space. This was a characteristic that was different from the Arthur main world.
Usually, plane teleportation would lead to the first level of the corresponding plane.
The prefix of the bottomless abyss itself was ‘infinite layers’. No one knew how many layers the abyss had. Even the most famous demon lords in the abyss, grazite, Demogorgon, Augustus, and vlazilu, only occupied one layer each. Some demon lords even had to share the same layer with other powerful ones.
However, these layers of the bottomless abyss had one thing in common, and that was that in the crisscrossing world, from the air to the water source to the ground, all of them exuded a poisonous and foul smell.
The topography of each layer seemed to be designed to create endless pain and torture for any traveler who passed through this place.
Unlike the other planes, these planes in the abyss did not have a ” main path ” to connect them. Every level had a teleportation gate or passage gap that led to a certain level.
However, due to the ” chaos ” attribute, these interconnected layer channels were also constantly changing, like a clay statue that was constantly reorganizing.
Everything in the abyss changed according to the nature of chaos. Even the demon lords had changed countless times.
The only thing that would never change was the ” blood battle ” with the demons in hell in the ” blood gap.
One side of the bloody gap was connected to Avernus, the first level of the Nine Hells, while the other side was connected to the invincible abyss at different levels at different times. The demon lords would also constantly send their ‘new soldiers’ into this eternal battle.
At this moment, Antonya noticed Zhao Xu’s sharp gaze and couldn’t help but ask curiously, ” what’s the matter? are you very afraid of the abyss? ”
Zhao Xu smiled wryly and shook his head. even though I’ve had some conflicts with a few powerful demon lords in the abyss, for some reason, I don’t have any bad feelings towards the abyss itself, even though I know that this is the home of the demons.
then, do you know the history of the abyss? ” Antonya suddenly said.
Zhao Xu looked at his knowledge skills that were over level 40 and searched for a certain Lord of the Deep. He was able to find some secret gossip, such as the tanari mother, cangye, who lived on the 471st floor. Her true appearance was so terrifying that even she couldn’t accept it. Any creature that looked at her true appearance would die immediately.
Another example was the demon Lord ” Demogorgon, ” who was ridiculed as a ” two-headed baboon ” for having two heads. Each head had its own personality, and they often didn’t get along well with each other, but they could give the Demon Prince a tactical advantage of two creatures.
Sometimes, Zhao Xu would search for all the information he knew about the abyss, and he would feel even more amazed by how magical this plane was.
However, at this moment, regardless of whether it was his knowledge (plane) or knowledge (history) skills, when he tried to search for the past of the abyss, all he got was a fog. Even if he wrote something, it was only a few sentences.
When most people hit a wall when they used knowledge skills, it was more because the difficulty of the knowledge obtained was too high and the level of the knowledge was too low. This kind of difficulty did not match.
But Zhao Xu often ran into a wall because of the knowledge he was searching for. Even the knowledge source that contained countless pieces of knowledge didn’t have much information.
This was because knowledge itself required ” existence. if no one in Arthur knew about that particular piece of knowledge, and there were no actual records of it, then the knowledge skill could not be retrieved.
At this moment, Antonya saw that the fire was almost ready, so she also started explaining.
the chaos attribute of the abyss allows it to throw everything into chaos. It is known as the most unrivaled power.
...
Zhao Xu laughed as well. because the essence of this world is ‘entropy increasing’ and heading towards chaos? ”
you can think whatever you want. This is the way the abyss exists and the embodiment of its will.
“Zhongxia, remember, one day in the future, the abyss will be your greatest help. Or rather, you’ll find Yingluo.”
As she spoke, Antonya suddenly lost her voice, but she didn’t panic. She continued to stare at Zhao Xu and said, ” even the Lords of the Abyss, as well as the most ancient Lords of the Abyss, don’t know exactly how many levels there are in the abyss and what the characteristics of each level are.
Then, a mysterious inscription began to appear in front of her.
the words that were flowing with golden light were so piercing that zhao xu’s eyes hurt and he almost couldn’t open them.
“And now, you have to memorize this inscription.”
Zhao Xu couldn’t even open his eyes after hearing this, but he still tried his best to look straight at the Golden words that Antonya was showing him.
The bottomless abyss.
First level, pazunya, Lord papazu.
The second layer, the perforated beehive, Lord tarzaks.
...
The third floor, the forgotten land, Lord zeyikzesia.
......
45th floor, lowwind, Lord grazite
46th floor, shadow sky, Lord grazite
47th floor, Watz, Lord grazite
......
Level 66, magic web pit, Lord spider goddess lorci.
......
Level 600, endless labyrinth, Lord beasthowl Lord, baphemet.
......
Zhao Xu continued to read and found out that these were the names of each level in the abyss and the corresponding rulers. In fact, these names were even after the names of the rulers.
It also had a series of complicated ” mysterious symbols ” that even Zhao Xu couldn’t recognize.
Antonya could tell that Zhao Xu was confused, so she explained, ” after the Lords ‘names are their original names and the core rune of the entire plane. You can think of it as the key to each level.
at this moment, blood was flowing out of the corner of antonya’s mouth and dripping down her chin to the ground.
“Teacher!”
Zhao Xu suddenly let out a cry of surprise. He took a step forward and put his hand on her shoulder to look at her pale face.
From her eyes to her cheeks, there was no longer any color of blood. She looked like a Sleeping Beauty frozen in an ice coffin.
The last time Zhao Xu had seen Antonya in such a weak state was when she had ignored the old man’s advice and rashly returned from the ninth floor of hell with pale justice in her hands.
Zhao Xu’s healing spell instantly sprang up, but it quickly calmed down again.
He had already understood that this was no longer a problem that could be solved by magic.
“Teacher, did you pay a great price for these words just now?”
Zhao Xu asked.
The Golden runes that had appeared were slowly disappearing, but both of them knew that with Zhao Xu’s near 30 points of intelligence, he could basically remember everything with just a glance, and it was as if he had a video camera on at all times.
” don’t worry about me. the impact of revealing the secrets of the abyss is already the lightest. ”
As she spoke, Antonya revealed a bitter smile. the text I’m showing you is the opening chapter of the scroll of the abyss.
“The scroll of the abyss?”
that’s right. It’s said to be a scroll that records all the secrets of the abyss. It’s placed at the bottom of the abyss, the bottomless zone. It’s said that no one can reach the final destination.
But Zhao Xu was a little surprised.’But doesn’t the abyss lead to chaos? Then wouldn’t the content recorded be out of date?”
Not to mention those far away, just those Lords alone had already been there for God knows how many times.
But Antonya just shook her head. it’s not that simple. That book will faithfully record all the secrets of the abyss, and once something changes, it will change in real time as well.
just like the ‘final scroll’, it can record all the spells that have appeared in Arthur in real time. Even if a wizard makes a breakthrough and develops a new spell, it can still record it as it is. This is also one of its immortal magnificence.
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but take a deep breath when he heard this.
He seemed to have grasped the key vein in the dark.
what’s even more amazing is that in this opening paragraph that I’m telling you, as long as the abyss changes, the memory in your mind will also change.
“This is where its true power lies.” As she spoke, Antonya couldn’t help but cough a few times, and her voice was already very hoarse.
the abyssal chapter was only placed there later, so it has its readers, and even a replica artifact-Aham’s dark chapter. We’ll talk about that later.
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.’Then the contents of this abyssal scroll have already been spread out. Due to the nature of its content, there is no other knowledge that is more advanced than it. ”
But Antonya just shook her head.
” in order to understand the contents of the abyssal scroll, i will have to digest all kinds of chaotic planar power. if i’m not careful, i might even be assimilated. ”
it’s possible to become an ordinary scorched earth in the abyss, or to be reincarnated into the most inferior tanari demon, or even the Balor that is close to the legendary level.
but there is no doubt that for most people, it is impossible to even read the first sentence of a complete version of the ‘scroll of the abyss’ in front of them. don’t even mention reading it, just looking at the title page will directly change it into a chaotic camp.”
it’s rumored that a God died after reading it. His body is still floating in the astral world. Be careful of those who come later.
As she spoke, a nostalgic look appeared on Antonya’s face. even with my extraordinary talent, it was still teacher who spent a lot of time and effort to only pass on a small part of the story to me.
“Over 90% of the power of the abyss that leaked out was filtered by him. The words that I just displayed were also weakened by the impact of the abyssal power.”
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but mumble to himself after hearing this.
“Then why didn’t I encounter any obstacles after reading through it?”
