Did these priests all die with their gods?

Zhao Xu muttered to himself.

he felt a little strange. in fact, these priests of hell were the last hope for the other party’s resurrection.

after this batch of seeds had gone extinct, who would be able to revive nairo?

Was he supposed to rely on the priests of the goddess?

zhao xu thought about this as he continued walking forward. he had to take a closer look at the words on the wall to see if there was anything special about them.

just as he stepped through the door, a notification suddenly flashed by.

[ adventurer zhongxia has triggered Ghoul rune barrier. Exemption failed, will enter a state of paralysis. 1d6 (1-6) +2=4 rounds ]

When he saw this, Zhao Xu immediately knew that he was in trouble. But at that moment, his entire body went numb.

‘Ghoul rune barrier’ was a level 2 spell for mages, but it was also a spell for priests in the field of hunger.

it was strong in that it could be preserved forever after being used, and the energy would only dissipate after it was triggered by someone.

the state of paralysis would make people unable to move, but they could still move their minds. if zhao xu could cast spells that didn’t have any magic elements, then he would be able to cast spells right now.

However, as long as he was willing to spend his potential points, he could use ‘Silent Spell’ to avoid the sound element, and ‘fixed spell’ to avoid the action element. This way, he could release a spell.

However, there was no attack after the paralysis, which confirmed his initial thoughts.

Even if there was a trap, after hundreds of years, the ordinary traps had long been jammed and unable to work.

Not even many magic traps could be preserved.

Only this kind of spell that could wait for activation forever could be kept.

but zhao xu couldn’t turn around just yet. otherwise, he would have taken a closer look to see where that ghoul rune barrier was hidden.

this rune had to be left about half a meter away to trigger, and at the same time, it had to occupy two or three square meters of space, so there was no need to be afraid of a second spell of the same kind.

[ adventurer zhongxia has triggered ‘advanced Guardian seal.’ Immunity failed. Level 6 spell will be activated. ]

zhao xu was almost dumbfounded.

guardian guard was a level 3 divine spell for priests. it was the same as ghoul rune barrier, it was permanently on standby and would dissipate after it was triggered.

when approaching the guard, one had to meet the conditions or give the order.

but zhao xu had been paralyzed the entire time, so how could he open his mouth?

Otherwise, Kewei would have exploded with explosive damage or cast a level 3 spell that was aimed at him.

as for the advanced guardian guard, it was a level 6 spell above the lower version. the only difference was that it could be upgraded to level 6 when triggered.

An extremely dark ray of light hit Zhao Xu, who was unable to move.

[adventurer zhongxia, you have been affected by ghoul’s hand. your immunity has failed. you will receive 3d6 (3 – 18) damage every round.]

Energy-suppressing skin!

zhao xu immediately used his mind command to activate the mount that he had just obtained.

adventurer zhongxia, you have received 3d6 (3 – 18)= 3 hp (locked) damage.

zhao xu received this notification right after that. he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. luckily, he had just received this piece of equipment.

Ghoul’s hand was a level-six arcane spell, and a level-five territory spell of the hunger territory.

it could cause 3 – 18 points of damage to the target in each round, which was an average of 11 points of damage per round.

after the immunity failed, the damage would continue forever.

Once the target’s health hit zero, they would be killed by the spell and become a Ghoul.

zhao xu only had 17 hp, so he would have to be paralyzed for another three rounds (18 seconds).

however, with this amount of hp, he couldn’t withstand three rounds of ghoul’s hand.

that was why he hurriedly activated his “ability-suppressing skin” and directly locked the damage at the lowest 3 hp.

in this way, he would only lose 9 hp after three rounds of paralysis, which was just enough to use up the three uses of the ability-suppressing skin per day.

The problem was that the damage from Ghoul’s hand would last forever, and he no longer had the additional uses of the ability-suppressing skin!

At this point, Zhao Xu had to look for spells that could break this curse, such as ‘remove curse’,’ heal’, ‘wish’, and so on, which could all end this effect.

but the lowest level of these spells was level 3, and there was no way zhao xu could cast them right now.

and even if zhao xu cast healing spells on himself, it would only delay his death and quench his thirst with poison.

in fact, the amount of healing could not even keep up with the amount of damage.

Zhao Xu didn’t expect these hell priests to be so ruthless when they killed someone.

for intruders like him, they would only be satisfied after they became undead creatures and ghouls.

just as zhao xu was thinking about how to get out of this situation, the time for the third round arrived.

but zhao xu had already reacted. he reacted as quickly as he could and quickly took out the protective magic staff from his backpack.

come to think of it, one of the most useful level 3 spells for mages, dispel magic, zhao xu had only used it a few times.

Zhao Xu had only used it when he was in the mine to suppress the power of the traps under the altar.

this time, zhao xu held onto his magic staff and cast a spell on himself. ” “dispel the spell.”

that extremely pure magic power came out of zhao xu’s staff and merged into his body. his face, which had turned a little dark after being hit by the spell, instantly regained its color.

In the end, when the time for the fourth round came and Ghoul’s hand was about to deal damage again, Zhao Xu finally managed to dispel the effects of the spell and eliminate the risk of turning into a Ghoul.

even though zhao xu had only lost 3HP each round, after three rounds, he was left with only 8 hp, which was about the same as a normal level 1 cleric.

When he saw that his health wasn’t guaranteed at all, Zhao Xu immediately cast the ” heal minor injuries ” spell and pulled his health bar back to normal.

At the same time, he also took out some alcohol and started applying it all over his body. He cast the level 2 spell false life on himself and his health points instantly shot up from 17 to 30.

This way, if he were to encounter the accident again, his health points would at least be able to withstand a fourth round of damage.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhao Xu had desperately tried to increase his hand speed before he could use the staff, he wouldn’t have been able to survive the fourth round of spells from Ghoul’s hand. By then, it wouldn’t have been 3 anymore, but 3-18HP.

after letting out a sigh of relief, zhao xu turned around and looked around. he then noticed that there were two runes on the door lock that he had entered from.

it was a pity that it was in his blind spot at the beginning. otherwise, he would have been able to recognize it with his reading magic and would not have barged in like a fool.

After that, Zhao Xu carefully looked around at every single detail and tried to figure out what was different.

After casting a few more detection spells, Zhao Xu was finally sure that these two triggered spells were probably the final trap in this Hall.

Zhao Xu started to walk towards the line of words with caution.

On the walls of the hall, someone had used a light-colored pen to write all sorts of Nairo’s teachings.

“could this be a resurrection ritual?”

zhao xu couldn’t help but turn around and look at the 13 stone coffins.

on his way here, he could feel that every stone coffin contained a shocking coldness, as if they were ice sculptures.

Zhao Xu’s thoughts couldn’t help but wander back to The Forbidden Book ” gods and demigods ” in the library of legends. According to Lu duo’s suggestion, it would be too easy for him to be attacked by his believers if he kept reading this book, so she suggested that he give up on it.

of course, zhao xu couldn’t recall if there were any methods of resurrection for gods in the book gods and demigods.

zhao xu immediately calmed down.

He realized that he was overthinking things.

Why did those priests set up such a ceremony in the first place?

all the coffins were dead on the 13th of june.

All of these showed that they were not shallow.

What about the remaining steps?

They couldn’t possibly rely on the devil to come in and continue the process of ‘resurrecting’ death, right?

zhao xu knew that the secret of this palace was hidden somewhere in the back.

Furthermore, if this ritual was really meant to protect the resurrection of the gods, then three divine spells as a trap was too cheap.

He should not have been able to walk in alive.

and there was no altar where the divine weapon was enshrined.

suddenly, zhao xu felt the notebook that was placed in front of his chest continue to vibrate.

He quickly took it out and looked at it.

“It led me to the path to the altar. This seems to be the temple!”

“The demon deceived the door and successfully entered. at the end, there’s another strange door. why are there so many stone coffins inside?”

” the devil wants me to go in first. i’m paralyzed and losing health. i’m so scared. i want to go back! ”

strange. At the last moment, just before I was about to die, a healing spell hit me and restored my status and health.

then the devil came in to check, and then the devil died and reattached to me.

it said that you can only survive if you trigger the two spells.

the words in the notebook came to an abrupt end.

Zhao Xu had an unnatural expression on his face as he looked at the door.

those spells would lose their effectiveness after being triggered once.

then, who had set up the trap that he had triggered just now?

“there’s an ‘energy conversion field’ at the entrance, so those spells will be restored after they’re charged.”

at this moment, a clear female voice rang out from behind zhao xu.
