549 War spell, exterminate the tribe

The cloud-type spells of The Conjuring (creation) system had always been the key system of spells that mages used to escape and cast group negative effects.

From the 1st-circle ” hidden fog “, the 2nd-circle ” Cloud Mist “, the 3rd-circle ” Stinking Cloud “, and now the 5th-circle ” Death Cloud “.

As soon as he finished speaking, a yellowish-green mist appeared in Zhao Xu’s hand. This poisonous mist, which was heavier than the air, immediately floated towards the target he had chosen.

Then, his palm, like the chimney of a restaurant, violently spewed water into the ground one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the orc Empire chiliarch who was gathering and training his soldiers found a yellow-green fog with a height of more than six meters and a radius above his head. It was like sticky snot from a cold.

“It’s poisonous! Quickly Dodge!” The leader of the orcs shouted.

At the same time, the orc shaman was also dumbfounded, as if he couldn’t understand why this thick fog, which was obviously carrying a ” plague “, would fall from the sky.

However, no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t catch up with the ” Death Cloud ” that was coming with the wind.

In the blink of an eye, the cloud of mist fell on everyone’s head like a heavy downpour.

“Ah!” Suddenly, a tall and strong orc who was covering his mouth clutched his throat tightly.

At this moment, he found it hard to understand. He clearly didn’t inhale it, so how could it be so painful just by touching it with his skin?

It was as if Zhao Xu had poured hot oil on the orc soldiers below. Countless wails and screams of pain rose and fell.

A weak Beastman soldier who was just outside the range of the cloud of death fell to the ground in a daze after seeing the tragic death a meter away.

it’s the plague! the orcs cried. it’s the death Cloud on Mount tarama!

The other orcs might not know what this ‘Death Cloud’ was.

However, in the orc kingdom, the death plague on Mount tarama was famous. No matter how strong an orc warrior was, they would definitely die if they came into contact with it.

Since the range of Death Cloud was limited, Zhao Xu naturally chose to attack the core area of the orc Army below. It was also where all the Centurions and officers gathered before the team set off.

Immediately, the beastmen on the periphery who hadn’t been hit howled in horror and fled in all directions.

No matter how strict the military law was, it couldn’t stop the fear of an unknown death.

Zhao Xu was floating in the air and he just looked down at the tragic scene below him.

Death Cloud was one of the few spells that could kill monsters quickly, as it was not resistant to magic.

As for targets with 1-3 hit Dice, they would be killed on the spot, ignoring the saving grace.

4-6HD would be tested on the toughness of the body. If he failed, he would die instantly. If he succeeded, he would also receive 1-4 points of Constitution damage. If he did not leave quickly, he would continue to receive Constitution damage every round.

Only those with 7HD and above would be fine if they passed. If they failed, they would suffer physical damage.

So as long as Zhao Xu used this spell on players who were generally below level 7, he would be able to start a massacre without any restraint.

To low-level players, only by being immune to poison could they survive this spell.

This was the power of a fifth-circle wizard.

even if they didn’t have zhao xu’s ” maximize spell “, ” twin spell “, and ” control of supreme magic “, they wouldn’t be able to stack up to deal the maximum damage.

However, when the advanced level 5 spells arrived, they could also hold their heads high.

But Zhao Xu didn’t feel any pity for the orcs as he watched them run away in all directions.

From the moment the orcs started wearing tattered armor and holding blood-stained Spears, they had to accept the fate of being killed.

Those who kill will always be killed, including him.

“Supernatural spell-war spell: Divine Storm.”

Supreme magic control: Maximize Spell, double spell.

In the next moment, Zhao Xu activated his Level 4 spell slot and under the effects of bizarre forethought, he reduced the casting time of a war spell, which originally required one minute, to one round.

the holy storm was originally a seemingly ordinary third-circle divine spell. by calling for the power of the good camp, it would rain a six-meter radius and six-meter high pillar of rain.

The rain had a soft and gentle power, but it could suppress hearing, detection, and even long-range attacks by more than level-4.

More importantly, it could deal 2-12 (2d6) damage to evil creatures, which was double the damage to evil Otherworld creatures.

The area of effect of this spell was similar to that of Death Cloud, but what Zhao Xu was interested in was how it could attack evil creatures at fixed points.

Therefore, he instantly used the ‘war spell version’ that he found.

In addition to that, he also needed 1500 gold coins and 10 bottles of holy water, which were worth 25 gold coins.

War spells were essentially the Art of Burning money.

But for Zhao Xu, who had supernatural spells, none of these were a problem.

Holy storm had also expanded from its original six-meter radius to a full thirty-meter radius thanks to the war version. The effective area was instantly expanded by a whole 25 times, reaching almost 3000 square meters.

The orc soldiers who were fleeing from the ‘Death Cloud’ suddenly saw the dew falling from the sky. They thought that it was a gift from the orc God of War to dispel the death Cloud, but they suddenly realized something.

When the raindrops fell on his body, they did not have the moist feeling of birth. On the contrary, they were extremely painful.

They were like tiny needles that continuously pierced into his body.

One by one, the fleeing orc soldiers were all covered by this wide spell, Holy storm.

The Beastman soldiers were like cabbages that had shriveled in frost, falling down one by one and never getting up again.

2-12 The rain of kindness that dealt a little damage, after stacking with the specialty, would become the rain of death that dealt a full 24 points of damage.

These orc Warriors who were only at Level 1 or 2 and were at the bottom of the chain instantly died one by one.

Even those with stronger health would receive a full 24 points of damage as long as they didn’t escape the range of the rain in time.

Merciless rain fell on the blood-colored logging field below. The loss of lives was like dominoes falling, uncontrollable.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was flying high up in the sky. After he used his potential points to recover the number of times he could cast supernatural spells, he would then cast a second Holy storm in the direction of the canyon that he was running in.

In the end, the lush grass below was covered with corpses.

The smoke that the orc apostles had lit up was also extinguished by the rain of kindness.

Once, in the Twilight Forest, Zhao Xu had to use a series of spell-casting techniques to kill off hundreds of adventurers who had tried to ambush him.

But now, he had just reached level-9, and he had annihilated thousands of orc soldiers who were at least Level-1 martial artists.

Even if these people lined up and came to die one by one for him to chop to death with his heavy axe, an ordinary person would be exhausted after chopping dozens of them.

A 1,000-man orc Army could even annihilate an ordinary town on the spot if players did not act.

But now, they had all been killed by Zhao Xu with just a few spells.

By the time he calmed down, his potential points had already recovered all the spell slots and class abilities that he had just used.

It was just like how Zhao Xu had only taken a basin of hot water and started fiddling with an ant’s nest.

no wonder the gods have a lofty mentality.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but say emotionally.

Weren’t ordinary people like ants to gods?

An existence that could destroy everything with a lift of his hand could not make people feel awe.

He had easily completed the killing. No matter how calm he was, he couldn’t help but feel like he was floating.

It was as if he was the Master of Life.

Just as he was thinking about this, Zhao Xu opened up the mission book again and sent a message to the person in charge of the mission at the final Magus guard organization.

The short message spell was a level 4 and Level 5 spell for priests and Level 4 Wizards. Only people like Zhao Xu would waste it so much and just use the spell feedback.

Instantly, another form of reply came from the other side. This was also the effect of the communication spell.

After he scanned through the messages that he had just received, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but feel a little confused.

It was actually ‘exterminate’.

The contents of the message told him to directly destroy the tribes near the orc Army.

The majority of the people naturally followed the instructions of the mission and continued to execute it.

As long as Zhao Xu completed this ” elimination mission, ” it would mean that he had completed all of this year’s work.

But Zhao Xu wasn’t just any ordinary person. It was one thing for him to clear out an orc Army, but he had even escalated the matter to the point of exterminating an entire race, so he was still a little suspicious.

Zhao Xu immediately cast the 5th-circle arcane spell, foreignland exploration, which originally required 10 minutes to cast.

This spell could teleport his ” mind ” to a real plane, such as the elemental Plane, the positive and negative Energy Plane, the astral plane, and the outer plane.

Then, he would get the information and suggestions from the gods of the other world.

The further one’s soul was teleported, the more likely it was to obtain accurate information. However, the risk and duration of temporary damage to intelligence and charm during the teleportation process were higher.

zhao xu chose the best option,’outer layer interface: High-level God’.

According to the agreement, the probability of him getting the truth was more than 88%.

However, the risk was also the greatest. Once the exemption failed, intelligence and charm would drop to 8 points, which would last for a full five weeks.

And the answers were mostly simple answers like ” yes, ” ” no, ” ” maybe, ” ” almost the same.

But Zhao Xu was different.

He immediately connected to the goddess of magic sisylvana’s dimension.

He had his own private VIP line after going to the God’s kingdom.

After a while.

Zhao Xu’s entire body and mind finally recovered from the shock.

With an angry expression, he looked into the distance at the difficult-to-distinguish position of the orc’s tent and shook his head.

It turned out that the beastmen tribe had attacked a traveling merchant, and one of the core mages of Mystra had been arranged to hide in the middle of the trial.

Later, the mage was beheaded on the spot, and a goddess priest who was passing through also died a tragic death and fell, even being humiliated.

“What a sin.”

Zhao Xu commented.

He immediately flew towards his destination, bringing a new death there.

——————-

In the depths of a dark and gloomy alley.

Most of the Inns on the street had been closed, and only a Tavern with three white lanterns hanging from it was still open.

At this time, a rogue in a black night suit quietly walked into the tavern and swept his eyes over the front.

At this moment, the bartender at the bar counter was wiping the utensils in his hands.

The Rogue lowered his voice and asked, ” has anyone come to collect the bounty recently? ”

“What reward?” The bartender’s toilsome hands suddenly stopped, and his sharp eyes looked at the Rogue who came to inquire.

At that moment, many of the drunk customers who were originally lying on the bar counter raised their heads and glanced at the back of the Rogue man like sharks who had smelled blood.

“It’s the ‘basaru’ tribe in the mountain range on the other side.” The Rogue said carefully.

“How can I?” The bartender shook his head. that’s a middle-sized tribe with more than a thousand adult soldiers. Although the Hoyle family is rich, they don’t know how many people they need to gather to cross the ice Mountain range to conquer the orc tribe on the other side.

” and the range of high-circle sorcerers ‘spells is limited. they can only repel them head-on. it’s difficult to annihilate them all. ”

“I don’t think the enmity between the two families will be resolved so quickly.” The bartender analyzed with his years of experience.

“No,” she said. Suddenly, the Rogue raised his decibel, which woke up the customers who were sleeping and was about to curse.

“I just received the intelligence from the other side.”

The Rogue then said in a terrified tone, ” in less than half a day, thousands of orc soldiers ‘corpses were strewn all over the grass in the Crimson lumberyard.

the tribe not far away was also engulfed in flames. All the beastmen in the tribe were burned alive, and no one managed to escape.

“It’s said that the orc war God’s priest’s legs almost went soft when he got close to the burnt tribal Cemetery. The dense death aura inside even scared an evil priest who could berate the undead.”

After listening to the other party’s words, the bartender in charge of the underground mission couldn’t help but swallow his saliva despite being used to big storms and waves. He revealed a look of disbelief.

“Dong Dong.”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which startled everyone.

The bartender was a little ashamed of his fear just now, so he immediately shouted at the door, ” “Don’t you know the rules? if you need anything, just come in.”

“I’m sorry.”

At this moment, a mysterious man walked in slowly. He was wearing a cloak and his face was covered by a Black Veil.

But what was strange was that the man’s body was dripping with water, which was completely different from the clear night sky of Olu city.

“I’ve heard that after completing the mission, you can collect the reward that you’ve paid before here.” The man’s tone was calm, without the slightest bit of anxiety.

Hearing that he was here to receive his mission reward, the bartender’s expression eased. bring me the mission proof.

“Eh? They only gave me this certificate and said that this was enough.”

The bartender immediately looked at him with contempt. He had seen many thieves who filled out a fake certificate and came to claim the mission reward under false pretense.

He wondered how many punches the man in front of him could take.

The bartender thought as he took the note and froze.

[ Secret Sword Alliance:

Wizard Zi (code name: Lonestar) has completed the mission of annihilating the ‘basaru’ orc tribe. Please fulfill the reward for the Hoyle family’s mission.

[ proof: wizard Association Northern Alliance branch ]

At the bottom of the letter was the seal of the Association, which no one dared to forge.

The red mud penetrated the paper.

“No problem, right? If you really can’t, I can take you to cross a few hundred kilometers to take a look.”

“But we have to hurry. If we delay any longer, they’ll finish us off.”

“And I’m in a hurry.” The mysterious man grinned, revealing his bright teeth.
