The Truth of Magic



88 dispel magic

the magic staff in zhao xu’s hand was about a meter long and was made from the core of an ancient oak tree. there was a yellow crystal embedded in the top of the staff.

at this moment, zhao xu’s appearance wasn’t too far off from the mages that everyone had imagined in fantasy novels.

A magic staff was a type of magic item that stored several spells. Every time a spell was cast, it would consume one to a few shots of energy from the magic staff. Generally speaking, a new magic staff would have 50 shots of energy.

As for the other magic item, the wand, it was usually 30 centimeters long, about the size of the wands of the Wizards in Harry Potter.

a wand also only had 50 shots of energy, but each spell only consumed one shot of energy.

the difference between a magic staff and a magic staff was that each magic staff could only store one type of spell, and it could only store spells that were level-4 and below.

and magic staffs wouldn’t be restricted by level 4 spells. for example, the protective magic staff in zhao xu’s hands could cast a few different spells such as shield (level 1 spell/1 energy attack), energy damage resistance (level 2 spell/1 energy attack), dispel spell (level 3 spell/1 energy attack), secondary nullifying barrier spell (level 4/2 energy attack), expel spell (level 4/2 energy attack), and shield against living things (level 6/3 energy attack).

if it was priced at 65000 gold pieces, then one shot would basically cost 1300 gold pieces. even if zhao xu were to use it, his heart would still be bleeding.

today, he was going to use the ” dispel magic ” spell in the staff, which could be used to suppress magic traps.

if he were to use a magic wand, a magic dispelling wand would cost him 11250 gold pieces for 50 shots, which would only cost him 225 gold pieces per shot. it was a much better deal.

speaking of which, he really wanted to go in and explore the place. he had already used his trump card, so destroying a demon’s lair would give antonya more bonus points than chasing away a ghost.

when he faced the druid earlier, zhao xu had taken out his magic staff to cast energy damage resistance on himself so that he could absorb the damage.

If he reached Level 3 and could cast level 2 spells, he could also cast the energy damage resistance spell.

It was just that his spellcaster level was too low, so he could only absorb 10 points of damage. In addition, his HP was not enough to withstand a single lightning strike.

However, if he used a defensive magic staff to cast a spell, the caster level would be at least level 13, which meant that it could absorb 30 points of damage. That would be more than enough for him to take one or two lightning strikes without being injured.

This was the huge advantage that a magic staff had over low-level spellcasters like Zhao Xu.

But when Antonya gave him this staff, she didn’t tell him how much energy it had left.

It was also a test for him to risk his life with the staff while not being able to estimate how much energy he had left.

“What’s this?” Noah had seen the world, but most of the things he had seen were small wands. He had never seen a wand that was almost a meter long.

“A magic item.” Zhao Xu explained briefly, “it can be used to Remove Magic traps.

Then, Zhao Xu told the two rogues how to open the secret door again. Once he suppressed the power of the magic trap, they would have to hurry up and open the secret door.

After he finished speaking, Zhao Xu raised the magic staff in his hand and started casting a spell in the direction of the magic trap in front of him.

Immediately, three effects of dispel magic appeared in his mind: target-type, area-type, and counter-type.

zhao xu, who more or less knew how magic traps worked, chose to target the magic to dispel it.

after he finished casting the spell, a white light shot out from the defensive magic staff in zhao xu’s hand and hit the brick that had the trap set up on it.

[adventurer zhongxia cast ‘dispel magic’ to resist the ‘curse-dropping trap’ with a caster’s check. Adventurer zhongxia’s caster’s check 20 + d20 = 20 + 15 = 35. Curse-dropping trap caster’s check 5 + d20 = 5 + 10 = 15. [check passed. Trap suppression 1d4 = 4 rounds of time.]

zhao xu looked at the message and realized that removing magic to deal with magic traps was actually a spellcaster level check, not a difficulty level check.

That was the level of the staff’s spellcaster. Compared to the level of the priest who made the trap, the higher the level, the higher the chance of winning.

antonya didn’t make the staff according to the level 13 requirement. instead, she gave the level 20 spellcaster a level, which naturally allowed him to defeat the level 5 priest who had made the trap.

but zhao xu didn’t have the time to be emotional. he quickly shouted, ” “‘dispel magic’ can only stop four rounds of traps. hurry up and open the secret door.”

Hearing this, the two rogues didn’t doubt it and walked forward. Rainbow was the first to rush and press on the extremely dangerous brick.

Immediately, the mechanism at the door was activated, and a stone door that was one meter wide and two meters tall slowly descended from the originally seamless wall, revealing a passage.

the brick with the trap also fell.

“We’ve finally gone down.” Youyou heaved a sigh of relief when the brick disappeared.

she also knew that her level was too low. if she was higher, at least she would have a way to dispel the damage from these spells.

The threat of a curse was extremely troublesome for everyone.

“i can pass?” noah asked.

Although he was facing the expert, everyone knew he was asking zhongxia.

zhao xu nodded. ” that stone door has been lowered quite deeply. we won’t trigger any more traps. the rogues should take the lead and keep searching for traps inside.”

after hearing zhao xu’s instructions, hill looked over at noah, while rainbow walked over to the front.

Putting one’s life on the line for a trap was also one of the destinies of rogues.

The entire team also adjusted their formation.

everyone was armed and on high alert as they slowly passed through the stone door.

As the torch shone, the team slowly saw the situation inside the stone door. It was a long corridor.

“be careful,” Noah warned, ” if there’s a trap, we’ll be very passive.

hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but lean closer, as if it was easier to gather courage this way.

“it feels like i’m going to explore a haunted house in the middle of the night.” After leaving the room filled with red letters, yoyo’s depressed mood had recovered a lot.

“Don’t raise flags. don’t forget our encounter in the forest.” the rogue rainbow, who was walking in front, stopped him.

he had had enough of youyou’s jinx.

” hmph, didn’t i just say that i hoped to see a cute bear? who knew that it would be a violent bear? ” yoyo ridiculed.

Zhao Xu suddenly realized that the entrance ticket to the zoo was a little expensive, so he didn’t know how many revival stones they had charged.

but when he thought about what had happened to youyou, zhao xu gripped the magic staff in his hand tightly. the rest of his journey would depend on this magic staff.
