The Truth of Magic - Chapter 712
712 Guests
After the demon Slayer Spider heard Zhao Xu’s command, it couldn’t help but feel its soul tremble. It said in a trembling voice, ” “Alright, please follow me.”
then, it started moving its eight limbs and took the initiative to open up a path for zhao xu. however, it wasn’t very particular about the path that it took. there were all sorts of spider webs and sticky liquid falling from the ceiling.
luckily, zhao xu had the spell ” freedom of movement ” to protect him, so he wouldn’t be affected by the web’s binding effect at all. he was able to follow the witcher spider in front of him through the entire process.
“How many years have you been here?” zhao xu suddenly asked curiously.
“About five hundred years.” The Witcher Spider replied. It was still walking at a fast pace, and its telepathic ability accurately conveyed its will to the other party.
Zhao Xu frowned slightly.
The Otherworld creatures seemed to be immortal, but it also meant that there was no way to break free from their lifespans, let alone retire.
If there weren’t any unusual disturbances, the other party might guard it for a lifetime. This was also a form of permanent life imprisonment.
He was really the most standard and cruel labor devil. Compared to the perpetual motion machine-like skeletons and zombies, he was not much better.
“How many new Spider groups are usually bred here?” Zhao Xu continued.
The Witcher Spider replied telepathically, ” there are more than ten places similar to the Spider Queen, but I don’t know the details. However, the new species here will be regularly transferred by wax demon emissaries.”
“You’re quite easy to talk to?” Zhao Xu was surprised. did you really feel the power of the hammer of justice that I was holding in my hand? ”
If these abyssal demons were simply afraid of death, they would be easy to deal with.
making use of weaknesses, then magnifying them to achieve control, was the key method for mages to manipulate people’s hearts.
the real headache was that the nature of chaos was hard to grasp.
Just like how “a gentleman can be deceived by the right methods,” the actions of the order faction camp could at least be predicted according to the rules.
However, chaotic demons could have a hundred solutions to the same problem.
A moment ago, he was a yes-man, but in the next second, he attacked with a heavy punch.
there was no official correct answer.
The Witcher Spider bent its knees slightly and said slowly, ” “although i can feel the power of magic, i can’t be sure of the exact scale. What really made me yield was the power of will that seeped out of your spell. There was an ancient abyssal aura in it, and I was born with the pressure of a superior, so I didn’t dare to rebel.”
Willpower?
the aura of the abyss?
Zhao Xu’s gaze turned cold.
He recalled that these abyssal demons could still join the bloody battlefields to die honestly, but it was more of their surrender to the Lord of the Abyss.
Unless they encountered another abyssal Lord, the price of betrayal was too high for them to bear.
Now, the other party was actually willing to help him. It was imperceptibly because of the Lord of the Abyss.
Didn’t that mean that his trip to the bottomless land, the lowest level of the abyss, had ultimately been tainted with the true power of the abyss?
It wasn’t because he was charming or handsome.
Now, just the aftermath of his spell had made a challenge level 10 Witcher Spider yield. If he really released it, wouldn’t it affect the entire area?
A Witcher Spider with 11 intelligence might not be able to react in time, but a Balor with nearly 20 intelligence, coupled with the mark of being favored by the abyss, was likely to react directly. They were facing an abyssal Lord!
these balor demons had an abyss lord behind them.
It was like a priest to a God.
Didn’t this mean that he wouldn’t be able to cast spells in the Balor in the near future?
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but feel the seriousness of the entire situation.
Although the abyss’s Balor was a high-sequence demon and could not be seen all the time, there were still many!
The only good thing was that the Spider Queen lorci was more interested in the wax dissolving demons, so her status was higher than the Balor’s. That was why when Zhao Xu met some special emissaries, they were more likely to be the wax dissolving demons.
“Is the frequency of evil demons appearing at the teleportation point high?” Zhao Xu asked out of caution.
The Witcher Spider nodded. the attendant of the Spider Queen, the waxmelt demon, Mr. Higgs, will arrive at the spider’s residence from time to time to inspect the recent progress of the spiders ‘cultivation. He will also choose good products from them and offer them to the Queen.
uh.
this might really be a problem.
zhao xu’s eyes narrowed slightly. speaking of which, he had heard of the wax-melting demons before.
Before he went down to the abyss, he had a clear understanding of the specific numbers on the panel, but he did not read too much about the background.
When he thought about this, Zhao Xu immediately used his own knowledge (dimensional skills)!
[ adventurer zhongxia, you have used the knowledge (plane) skill to search for the wax dissolving demon. Check successful. The information you obtained is as follows-]
[ level 20 information: the wax-melting demon serves the drow goddess lorci as a maid and receives her favor and protection. ]
[ level 25 information: the wax-melting demon has the ability to transform. It can switch between green clouds, humanoid spiders, beautiful female elves or humans, and red-faced, amorphous tentacle monsters. ]
[ level 30 information: the wax-melting demon has a mental barrier effect protection and can not be removed. Immune to acid, electricity, and poison. Resistance to cold, fire, and damage from non-kind weapons ]
[ level 35 information: the wax-melting demon has a lot of spell-like abilities, including controlling humanoid creatures and reading their corresponding thoughts ]
Uh.
Zhao Xu’s face was blank as he looked at the four messages that he had just received.
since when did the knowledge and skill system become so watered down that it actually obtained information on the abilities of the wax dissolving demon?
He already knew about this long ago, and it was an extremely comprehensive and detailed ability.
The description was so vague. Wasn’t the green cloud a ” gaseous form “, wasn’t a human female a ” humanoid form “, and wasn’t a Spider a ” spider form “? these were all the Sorcerer’s supernatural abilities.
As for the amorphous tentacle monster, this was the mentality of the wax melting demon.
The so-called spell-like spells included mind detection, human domination, darkness, blasphemy, advanced teleportation, cobweb, stone shaping, and web.
He even knew that if the other party transformed into a human form, they would be completely naked. Usually, they would only enter this state after they had prepared their armor and weapons.
They were inclined to use this state in the Prime Material Plane.
But it was also because of the equipment. Unless these waxmelt demons could hide their equipment, they would not switch to other forms.
unless they couldn’t use advanced teleportation spells to escape, they would only escape in their gaseous form, or they would use their true form to complete the kill when they felt that they would definitely win.
Generally speaking, a wax demon that could dominate humans would not lack followers, and it was not difficult to help transfer equipment during a battle.
as he thought about this, zhao xu followed the witcher spider around him and continued to gather information from it. ” you were in the abyss. do you know the background of this wax melting demon? ”
the witcher spider replied, ” these wax devils usually appear alone in the place where the spider queen lorci worships. they represent the spider queen’s advisor, assassin, and to a certain extent, lover. ”
to us or to those admirers of the Spider Queen, these maids are lorci’s representatives. Compared to demons like us who need to hunt for food on their own, demons like the wax Devils can get everything they want in most drow societies.
Ha, he really was a born local tyrant.
“Will there be a big team?” Zhao Xu asked in return.
With such a close relationship, he felt that the waxmelt demons were weaker than the Balor, but their levels were not that different.
He was a typical Emperor’s henchman. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to instantly kill one or two without exposing his background.
He was afraid that if he encountered a large group, the news would be leaked.
The Witcher Spider nodded. that’s possible. At that time, they were only acting as guards. Because of the Spider Queen’s favor, it was easier for them to take on other professions. They often had the level of poet, priest, or Warlock. I once saw a wax demon Messenger of lorci who was trapped in the magic net. He was a level 13 poet and influenced Arthur’s country on behalf of lorci.
“This really makes me even more curious.” Zhao Xu said emotionally.
Vaguely, he seemed to have noticed the mysterious meaning behind the wax Devils, whose basic challenge level was only level 8.
It did not seem to be a natural product of the abyss.
In the next moment, Zhao Xu focused all of his energy and slowly emptied his mind. It was as if his invisible soul was about to leave his body.
This was a special technique that he had learned in the bottomless land. It allowed him to sense the ” long scroll of the abyss ” to the greatest extent. Then, he could sense the content within through the communication of consciousness.
In essence, this was also a kind of knowledge skill check, but it was aimed at the ‘abyss scroll’ and not the ‘knowledge origin’.
In an instant, it was as if a meteor shower had broken through the night sky in Zhao Xu’s mind. Countless stars flashed and turned into a rain of light that filled the sky. It kept embellishing the sky and telling Zhao Xu-
Everything about the wax melting demon.
Zhao Xu’s eyes started to light up.
So it was like this.
In that instant, he became even more wary of lorci!
The wax demon was actually a model of the special demon race in the bottomless abyss?
Or it could be said that they were one of the few demons that were transformed from the most basic tanari demons by gods for special purposes.
In the past, after lorci had descended into the abyss, she had captured those succubi and then slowly changed them into the shape of wax Devils!
The process was still a secret that countless abyssal overlords were curious about.
Everyone wanted to know how it was done. The abyssal Lords also wanted to master this method and transform it into a demon Army that belonged to them.
This was because the waxmelt demons essentially had no connection with their ‘source’, the succubus.
It could be said that it was an independent and unique demon in all aspects.
To a certain extent, they themselves were the source.
The first demonic version created by the abyss was the ” OBIS demon. they even appeared before human history.
Then, in the ancient war in the abyss plain, the tanari demon replaced the current position of the favored child of the abyss.
this was what zhao xu had first heard when he was in the bottomless land, listening to the whispers of the abyss.
In essence, that war was the shadow of the battle between chaos and order.
after that, the original demon, the witcher spider, and the balor were all evolutionary branches of the tanari demon. as long as an abyssal lord was willing, they could use the power of the lord given to them by the abyss at any time to pull it out.
From dretch to Balor, it was essentially just a thought from the abyssal Lords.
However, the wax melting demon was different.
In theory, this ” wax-melting demon ” was a new devil system that could continue to evolve and evolve like the ” tanari demon.
It was only limited by lorci’s own abilities that she didn’t transform into thousands of different types. She simply walked the path of strengthening her sub-professions.
“What’s the level of the wax dissolving demon that reached this place?” Zhao Xu suddenly asked.
” it hasn’t evolved, ” the demon-slaying spider replied. ” it’s the most ordinary version. ”
“Then you’re also afraid of it?”
Zhao Xu was a little curious. The chaos abyss was a place where there was no order. There was no concept of obedience to one’s superiors, and whoever had the bigger fist would have to listen to them.
once the fist weakened, it would be the time for betrayal and backstabbing. however, he could actually hear the fear in the demon-slaying spider.
“my lord,” the witcher spider continued bitterly,”the wax spirit is happy to dominate and cruelly torture other creatures, even if it’s a devil. The demon of the abyss knew that the Spider Queen lorci would protect her maidservant.”
“Even in other planes?” Zhao Xu was curious.
” yes, any devil who dares to resist the wax demons will be visited by the spider queen’s more powerful subordinates, including the drow goddess. ”
“That’s why the demons of the abyss hate and fear them.”
Zhao Xu’s interest in this matter grew even stronger. He felt as if he had just come into contact with a new toy. then, won’t there be a betrayal among the waxmelt demons? ”
Sometimes, a team of frostmen led by a Balor demon might be stronger than a team led by two Balors.
While the evil demons were oppressing their subordinates, they were also afraid of the counterattacks of their opponents of the same level, because they were all obstacles to their own advancement.
The Witcher Spider was confused. there doesn’t seem to be any competition between the wax demons. I’ve seen more than one of them appear in the river, and they all work together without any complaints or regrets. For them, the company of their companions is the source of joy and joy.
They were actually demons who didn’t know how to trick their teammates?
In an instant, Zhao Xu’s footsteps stopped again.
His off-the-charts detection skill told him that there was an unknown creature in the shadows ahead.
At this moment, a cold laugh came from inside.
“It also forgot to mention that the wax Devils in the main material world are good at causing harm and spreading the source of evil and chaos through murder and conspiracy. Relying on their humanoid form and charm, they can often blend in and make many good friends.”
unfortunately, demons will always be demons. Even if it’s their loved ones, they won’t stop betraying.
zhao xu raised his eyebrows. ” and you are? ”
In the shadows, there was a homeless man lying on the ground.
