659 Chapter 659-secret of contamination, mage battle!
When Zhao Xu had chosen to advance in the past, he had heard of the advanced rank of ” Corruptor “, which was an archivist that came from the same world.
However, he was discouraged by the fact that this advancement required him to be in a medium or heavy fallen state.
In this world of rumors, evil was a power that could infect and corrupt.
Even a Saint Samurai who strictly adhered to the precepts could still have his soul and body corroded in the long-term struggle against evil.
In general, real heroes would resist the contamination of evil through magic or atonement. However, sometimes, even out of good intentions, some adventurers would still choose to embrace evil and accept the power from the ” contamination.
Corruptists were the best in this area.
Even those who studied ancient books and mysterious stone monuments, like archivist, were called ” dark knowledge ” because they were in this world.
At this moment, Zhao Xu was silently thinking back to everything he knew about this world.
fortunately, he had made some preparations when he first became an archivist.
Entering a place filled with evil, coming into contact with evil items, being attacked by special monsters, and carrying out evil missions would all lead to being ” contaminated ” by the evil.
Zhao Xu used to find it strange that Arthur didn’t have this sort of corruption. No matter if it was the abyss or hell, the evil in both of them was just as pure, so why didn’t it corrupt the characters?
Now, it seemed that it was related to the Cthulhu of R ‘lyeh that he had heard about.
The ‘evil’ they spread was probably the source of the ‘corruption’.
As for the level of corruption, the ” sign ” of it on the body was ” body corruption, ” corresponding to the corruption point, which could be resisted with tenacity.
The ” sign ” of the mind was ” mental corruption “, corresponding to the ” point of corruption “, which was resisted by will.
At first, Zhao Xu didn’t even know what world he had entered, so he couldn’t search for anything at all.
but based on the hints given by the other party, zhao xu realized that he had entered the legendary world that was filled with terrifying elements. after getting this key piece of information, zhao xu started to activate his dimensional skills and started to search through the relevant background information.
For some reason, he was extremely wary of the deformed man in front of him.
therefore, he had to do his homework first.
But as more and more background information popped up in his mind, Zhao Xu’s sense of urgency grew stronger.
The symptoms of corruption and degeneration were divided into five stages: ” none, ” ” mild, ” ” moderate, ” ” severe, ” and ” madness/death.
A character’s Constitution and perception were different, which also determined the specific point of their fall in the later stages.
An ordinary person would only have 10 attribute points, while the 0 points of corruption and degenerates would be unpolluted.
Light pollution was 1-5 points, medium pollution was 6-17 points, and heavy pollution was 18-41 points.
When it reached 42 points, the decay of the body would lead to death, and the corruption of the mind would lead to madness.
Zhao Xu’s Constitution was now 27, so his body’s serious decay was 42-98 points, which meant that he would die at 99 points.
his 17-point perception corresponded to mental corruption, and the severe level was 30-69 points, while 70 points would send him into madness.
When he thought about this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but ask the man, ” Sir, may I ask how much more corruption and corruption will happen if I’m exposed in this dimension? ”
” when exposed to evil in the outside world, it’s 1 point every 24 hours. ”
however, the rate of falling here is one per hour, and both of them are contaminated at the same time.
1 point per hour!
There was no exemption at all.
Didn’t that mean that after 70 hours, he would overcome the severe symptoms of mental degeneration and go straight into madness?
After 99 hours, he would pass the severe symptoms of body decay and die immediately.
The deformed man continued to look at Zhao Xu with interest, who was completely different from him. Zhao Xu had fair skin and tender flesh. as expected, anyone who is able to become an archivist in the other world isn’t someone easy to deal with. It looks like your knowledge and skills aren’t low at all. You’ve already learned most of the secrets.
“Isn’t it strange?”
generally speaking, every time an adventurer enters a new stage of contamination, they will obtain a new symptom, which is the decaying effect. Logically speaking, I only have one mild symptom, one moderate symptom, and one severe symptom.”
“How did it become so exaggerated?”
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but nod as he listened. Advancing to become a corruptist only required one’s mind to fall, and that was a mental problem.
In that case, the reason why the man’s body had become so deformed was because he was in the depths of this hidden giant stone fortress.
At this moment, the wounds on the man’s body showed symptoms of a worm nest where parasites were entering and leaving.
The bending of the spine was a symptom of “stooping.”
The enlarged and deformed skull was a symptom of ‘reforging the head’.
Moldy spots all over the body were the symptoms of “skin mosses.”
The rotting of the eyes was a symptom of the Lich’s pupil.
Rotten nose was a symptom of rotten nose.
There were a total of six severe symptoms that could be seen with the naked eye, making him look neither human nor ghost.
Not to mention, there were also symptoms of mental degeneration. It was hard to tell whether it was ” capricious “, ” severe fear “, ” murderer “, or something like that.
In response, the man revealed a cruel smile. you know that as long as you enter a new stage of contamination, within 24 hours, you can rely on spells such as restoration to suppress the original stage, for example, dropping from intermediate to elementary.
“That’s right.” Zhao Xu said, ” if it’s more than 24 hours, then only miracle and wish can reduce the pollution. Otherwise, no matter how many spells you use, you can only reduce the pollution at the current stage.
Zhao Xu quickly scanned through the list of spells in his mind.
The fifth-circle divine spell ” atonement ” was more complicated. It required the completion of the task to reduce a certain number of contamination points, which were no higher than the spellcaster’s level.
The 3rd-circle divine spell, curse removal, reduced 1 drop point, and the 3rd-circle divine spell, disease removal, reduced 1 corruption point.
The Level 4 divine spell, restore, could reduce the damage by one point for every four levels. Zhao Xu was currently level 33, so he could reduce the damage by eight points. Also, casting spells within 24 hours after jumping levels could also reduce the contamination, allowing him to return to his original level.
The 7-circle divine spell, greater restoration, cost 1 point per level, but he could not use it now.
The ninth-circle miracle and wish spells were reduced to the upper limit of the next stage and were not limited by the 24-hour limit.
These spells could only be used once a day, so Zhao Xu couldn’t use restore to protect himself from both spells.
And more importantly, to use these spells, he needed to not be exposed to an evil and polluted environment.
Obviously, the situation before him did not fit this point.
As he thought about this, Zhao Xu turned his gaze towards the stone door.
The deformed man sneered when he saw this. if I were you, I wouldn’t think about leaving.
“That’s because there’s a curse on that stone door. The moment you go out, your brain will be directly contaminated and you will go crazy. This is the reason why I’m trapped here.”
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but glance at the man in front of him. then how did you survive? ”
The deformed man laughed. it’s very simple.
if the pollution is so incurable, then the adventurers in this world should just stay at home.
“Is there an item that can resist the contamination?” Zhao Xu immediately caught on to the main point of the question.
Right now, it was obvious that he had to endure it and wait for Antonya to come to his aid.
The most important thing was to not go crazy.
“That’s right.” the deformed man laughed. ” some natural items can absorb the pollution in place of their owners. For example, a pure jade staff the size of a finger, a piece of parchment made of the skin of a full-moon lamb, and a carefully carved statue made of an oak branch cut off by lightning.”
usually, one of these items is enough to absorb 7 points, enough to support an average adventurer’s adventure for a whole week.
“I can’t bring too many?” Zhao Xu asked in return.
If the problem was that simple, there was no reason for the man to become like this.
If it were him, he would definitely bring enough reserves to last for a hundred years in this world, or even create things at any time.
He had always been in the town and had never fallen into a situation where he had to cut off his supplies. If it was really useful, he could create things through ‘supernatural spells’ without sacrificing his life energy. He was even better in this aspect.
A mage would never be embarrassed by a lack of material reserves.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he was strong enough.
The deformed man shook his head. when an item absorbs the decay, it will immediately darken, soften, and gradually decay and disappear. Moreover, these items were exposed to the contamination at the same time. While sharing the contamination, they would affect each other and gradually disintegrate. Therefore, having too many items will instead increase the effect of the contamination and speed up the process.”
one anti-pollution item can absorb 7 points, two will only absorb 12 points, and four will reach 16 points, which is the peak. The more items I bring in, the lower the points will be. The last seven items can only absorb 1 point.
zhao xu glanced at him and asked, ” can’t i keep only having four items on me? ”
The deformed man could not help but smile bitterly. it seems that the spellcasters in your world are very interested in finding loopholes. Unfortunately, after the items rotted and disappeared, their polluted aura would linger around you. So unless you left the polluted environment, any new items you created would be the fifth item by default and would not have any effect.
therefore, the adventurers in our world must escape from the evil environment that is exposed to pollution after a certain period of time, regardless of the outcome.
but you don’t have to worry. I have a way to survive until now. As long as you keep chanting the spell of R ‘lyeh to attract new travelers, you can use their bodies as a sacrifice and be protected from contamination for a while.
As he spoke, the deformed man revealed a sly smile. it’s been almost four months since The Last Ship that mistakenly entered this place in a storm. I thought I wouldn’t be able to survive these few days. I didn’t expect this.
“This time, I’ll sacrifice a spell caster. That immortal Great Old One will definitely protect me through the season!”
The deformed Virgen then waved the staff in his hand!
