The Truth of Magic



677 The harvest on the battlefield

The lowest challenge level of the ogres was Level 3, and their HP was close to 30 points. Each of them held either a spiked club or a javelin that was specially used for throwing.

This race’s chaotic nature, coupled with their strength and physique, made them a natural race that fed on “barbarians. therefore, many ogres who had barbarians as their part-time jobs would become the leaders of the tribe.

As the Barbarian ogres roared and unleashed their berserk abilities, many of the ogres also roared angrily. Their morale rose to a new level, and they gathered together to break their cauldrons and sink their boats.

The cavalrymen, who had been charging confidently, felt a chill run down their spines. The warhorses they were riding could not help but raise their front hooves and neigh.

The Wyverns, who were more stupid by nature but more aggressive, kept diving down from the air and then grabbed their targets tightly with their claws, then stabbed their tails into the bodies of their targets.

a few cavalrymen in heavy armor fell into the enemy’s hands. they moved their limbs helplessly and looked at the ground that was getting bigger and bigger.

Moreover, the Wyvern’s poison was extremely overbearing. The immediate and subsequent damage was 2 – 12 (2d6). Even the strongest Man would fall after two rounds.

Every time the Wyvern let go of its prey and threw it into the air, most of the fallen cavalrymen would turn pale and die from the physical damage caused by the poison!

In just two or three rounds of fighting, the conflict at the border between the two sides immediately brought about a lot of casualties!

A few Warriors in the main force even tried to take the risk of transporting the corpses of their comrades back under the rain of arrows.

As Spears and javelins flew across the battlefield, sparks flew in all directions.

Several adventurers were turned into blood men, but they still gritted their teeth and fought. They kept waving their blades in the sea of blood in their vision until their bodies lost their last function.

There was such a huge hatred?

Zhao Xu was also quite curious.

For some reason, these adventurers were fighting so fiercely that sparks flew everywhere. It was as if they had a life-and-death feud with each other, as if they had no intention of leaving anyone alive from the beginning.

Normally, if these ogres ran into Zhao Xu, who was alone, there was a slight chance that he would survive even if they provoked him.

But now that they were fighting against the main force behind them, they had naturally blocked off their last chance of survival and Zhao Xu couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

Mages, who were respectfully called “field controllers,” were built on their outstanding spells.

After seeing how the little divine weapon, people’s paradise, became invincible and how Yoo ‘er started killing everyone around her, Zhao Xu also completed the most basic spell-

The second circle of cobweb!

This mid-range spell was enough for Zhao Xu to cast it all the way to the back of the front line.

The spider web originally had a radius of about 6 meters. With the enhancement of ” spell expansion ” simulated with potential points, the effective range of the four types of spells, namely burst, release, straight line, and spread, would automatically double.

The radius of the spider web spell, which was a ‘diffusion spell’, had been increased to a full 12 meters, and the area had increased from the original 100 square meters to more than 400 square meters.

just like how a 10-inch pizza was 1.5 times that of an 8-inch pizza, the improvement brought by this one ring specialty was huge.

When beginner mages faced a small-scale team battle, the range of their spells was enough to cover everything.

However, after experiencing the large scale and depth of the battlefield, he realized the value of this ‘spell expansion’ specialty!

At the same time, Zhao Xu didn’t stop moving at all. He cast the standard movement spell and instant cast spell four times in a row, and that area of about a thousand square meters quickly covered almost the entire front line.

These one-time ” spider webs ” that seemed to be spat out by a super-large mutated Spider formed a multi-layered structure. The silk-like material was tough and sticky, and it looked like a spider web, but it was actually bigger and thicker.

“Gu Lu, What is this?”

it’s a spider web. There’s a mage in ambush.

“I know it’s a spider web, but why is it so big?”

In an instant, the ogre army at the front line was completely surrounded by Zhao Xu’s spider web that covered the sky. They could only wave the giant wooden clubs and giant axes in their hands with great difficulty, trying to open up a path for them to pass through.

The cavalry commander on the other side of the battle was overjoyed. He could not help but turn around and shout, ” which brother from the rear attacked? ”

However, no one responded to this.

On the other hand, one of the military mages saw through the trick and suggested, ” hurry up and attack. These ogres are naturally strong. The spider web won’t be able to trap them for long.

After hearing this, the commander immediately waved his battle flag and organized the cavalry Regiment that was already in a mess. They raised their three-meter long Spears again and launched another group of cavalry to charge!

On the entire battlefield, only the Wyverns were unaffected. However, with the loss of one link in the air-Ground coordination, the Wyverns ‘offensive wave was immediately halted.

The ogre mages riding on the Wyverns were easier to recognize than their cousins. Their skin color was light green to light blue, and their hair was black or dark brown.

at this time, seeing these four thick and tough cobwebs in succession, they couldn’t help but suspect that there was a small team of wizards lurking around. some of them even began to prepare to use the spell-like ability ” gaseous body ” to escape.

More importantly, their spell-like abilities were completely useless against these spider webs.

Even though they were called Ogre Wizards, there were still differences in the breadth of their spellcasting.

But in a few seconds, the entire Ogre team began to move, cutting down the trees that the cobwebs were clinging to.

the adhesive silk itself had to be attached to a fixed point. without this tension, the natural spell energy would instantly collapse, and the spider web would also fall apart and disappear.

the earth’s side was also somewhat dumbfounded when they saw this scene. they did not expect the intelligence of these monsters to be so extraordinary that they immediately found a way to crack it.

Therefore, the spider web was more effective in a sealed underground city, where there were strong walls everywhere and there was no way to cut them down.

“hurry up, fire the rockets!” After the cavalry commander communicated with the mages, he also hurriedly gave a new order to the archers at the back.

“adventurer, take the flaming velvet and torch and throw them into the spider web!”

“quick, the blazing fire glue is also fine. we’ll count it as the losses in the battle preparation.”

The sticky silk of the spider web was a flammable substance, so a magic flame Arrow could cut through all the obstacles without any hindrance.

however, once it was ignited, the creatures trapped in it would also be injured by the flames.

The man-eating Rubik’s Cube had thought of a way to break the spider web, and the players were also eager to use the last bit of value of the spider web. Both sides were racing against time in a battle of wits and courage.

Zhao Xu was also silently watching the changes on the battlefield. At the same time, he put his hand into his backpack and took out a series of alchemy items. He handed them over to Yoona, who was cutting down the ogres as if they were sugar canes.

“Yun ‘er, recognize these alchemy items and take them with you.”

this is a strong acid bottle, 10 gold coins a bottle. It can be used as a throwing weapon, dealing 1-6 acid damage. For those Ogre Wizards with regeneration abilities, only fire and strong acid can deal normal damage.

this blazing fire glue costs 20 gold coins. The sticky substance inside will naturally come into contact with the air. If you throw it out, it will cause about 1-6 fire damage. If you don’t put out the fire in time, there will be subsequent burning damage.

Zhao Xu also took the opportunity to introduce Yoona to these two common alchemy items. They were both made with skill (alchemy).

As he said this, Zhao Xu casually threw it at the ogres next to him. When an Ogre was hit, the acid splashed onto the ogre’s body, causing it to grimace in pain.

But they charged forward even more ferociously, as if they were going to take revenge on Zhao Xu.

but that’s the best it can do. A few points of damage won’t be enough to shake the ogres. Zhao Xu concluded, ” so you have to think about how to use them. For example, you used them to light up the spider web.

Yoona also quickly ran in front of Zhao Xu and blocked this wave of attacks for him.

from an outsider’s point of view, it looked like yoona was guarding the unmoving man.

“Yoo ‘er, I just cast the 2nd circle spell’ cobweb’, but there are many other spell-type control spells that can turn the tide on the battlefield. You can also identify them.”

As he spoke, Zhao Xu looked at the empty space on the front line that was almost completely cleared of the cobwebs.

Some of the ogres were covered in dust from the burning cobweb, but the 2-8 (2d4) burning damage did not affect the overall situation. The entire battlefield was still in a state of anxiety, and many cavalrymen on earth had been killed and dismounted.

The next moment, Zhao Xu threw away the remaining spider web casting material and took out the next casting material, which was a few stinky kun grass leaves.

Copying the old man’s words …

[spell expansion: stinky cloud!]

It was as if Zhao Xu had cast a mist spell on the ogres. A wall of mist extended out from the spot that Zhao Xu had pointed out and covered all the ogres. The mist itself had a very strong stench to it.

Even though the ogres were used to the stench of a group, they still found it unbearable and fell into a state of nausea.

Those who were quick to roll out of the thick fog still felt nauseated.

nausea was an extremely powerful negative state. once one entered it, they would not be able to attack, cast spells, or maintain any actions that required concentration.

The smelly cloud’s range was the same as the spider web’s. The creatures trapped in it lost their balance and tried to escape to the edge, but there were ogres in front and behind them, trampling all over.

At the same time, the cloud rose to a height of more than ten meters, nearly three or four stories high. A few Wyverns were careless and fell to the ground on the spot!

The human cavalrymen seized the opportunity and charged at the ogres who had lost the ability to resist!

The balance of the battlefield was finally reversed in the favor of the humans, and the only things that brought about this magical effect were the “Stinking Cloud” spells that did not cause any direct damage!
