The Truth of Magic

86 chapter 86-curse

‘demogorgon?

the entire team was confused when they heard this name, although they couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts when they first heard it.

However, no one had any impression of this name.

Which mysterious figure or evil god did this new cult believe in?

“Search failed. Perhaps there’s no such person? It’s just some meaningless words.” the poet. frog said in a low voice. he had just used his ‘yi wen knowledge’ and other knowledge skills in turn.

Zhao Xu was frowning. The results of his check were the same.

He had never heard of this name even in the demon-sealing war in his previous life.

however, when he was reading about magic in the floating city, he had paid special attention to demons and abominations.

He had seen the name ‘Demogorgon’ before-Lord of the Abyss, Demon King.

at that time, he had asked antonya about it, and she had laughed at him and said that he was just a two-headed baboon with a split personality.

but even though she was sneering at him, antonya still gave him a few tips on the abilities and characteristics of the demogorgon.

Zhao Xu could only take a deep breath at that thought.

demogorgon had believers in the arthur main material plane. his believers even had divine spells, but their power came from the abyss.

the abyss was the home of some evil gods. according to antonya, the demon lord, ” demogorgon, ” was also considered a low-level divine power in the abyss. however, even a greater divine power might not be able to defeat a demogorgon in the abyss’s home ground.

but antonya had been very confident at the time. if a demogorgon dared to set foot on the prime material plane, she would kill it no matter how many times it came.

as for why he could come back again after he died, zhao xu didn’t ask any further.

If that was the case, then their team might have been noticed when he had just said the name of ‘Demogorgon’.

it was similar to a certain children’s fantasy book that would make the mysterious person known.

Zhao Xu wasn’t worried that Demogorgon would be so bored that he would get the secret sect hidden in Arthur to come and attack them. He was just worried that this mine and the underground city would have some sort of backup plan.

If he received attention, perhaps these backup plans would take effect.

seeing that there was nothing strange about their surroundings, the team also went forward to observe the altar.

“it’s xie hui.” she said as she looked at the altar’s surface and the pattern of a forked tail.

upon hearing this, everyone’s heart, which had just been put at ease, tensed up again.

It was fine if it involved evil gods. After all, it was a mutually-willing trade. It was probably impossible to get rid of those in the abyss and hell.

“destroy it?” noah asked. this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

usually, when they encountered such a situation in a town, they would usually go to the priests of the gods and ask them to come forward. this was also a matter that could increase favorability.

however, they were too far away to do anything now, so they could only report after the event.

“alright,” he said. the whole room was filled with blood-red names, which had long made fengye feel uneasy. he was holding in a fire that he had not vented out.

He raised the giant sword in his hand and was about to slash at the altar.

“Wait a moment.” zhao xu quickly said, “let’s search for any traps first.”

when fengye heard this, he also hurriedly retreated a few words.

Although he had never seen the traps in the buried city, they had already made a name for themselves on the forum. They had killed countless players.

“that’s right. hill, come and search.” when noah heard this, he knew that he had been affected by the oppressive environment of the room, so he did not react first.

Hill and rainbow went up to check if there were any traps around the altar.

search was not a skill that required training. as long as one had normal intelligence, they could search.

However, only the Rogue’s class ability could allow them to find those difficult traps.

After a round of inspection, both of them shook their heads, indicating that they had found nothing.

“Then let’s spread out.” zhao xu didn’t say much when he saw that he didn’t get anything out of it. he just added a few extra words out of caution.

“We’ll listen to zhongxia.” noah ordered.

Yoyo and the others had also retreated a few meters away, leaving Fengye and Noah in front of the altar.

noah, on the other hand, held his shield and stood guard in front of the altar. if a few arrows were to shoot out from inside, he would be able to block them.

fengye took a deep breath and raised his giant sword with both hands to slash at the altar.

“bang!” With a sound.

The altar, which had been abandoned for decades or even centuries, was broken by the Maple Leaf with one strike.

“Ah!”

immediately after the altar cracked, a yellow light flashed and fengye suddenly let out a scream.

“fengye, what’s wrong?” rogue rainbow quickly rushed forward and pulled fengye, who had already knelt on the ground, back.

Maple Leaf, who was originally a very strong warrior, was now sweating on his forehead. He panted and said, ” “my constitution attribute has been deducted by six points.”

“cursed?” zhao xu immediately understood.

hearing this, everyone looked at each other. noah, who was still holding his shield, also took a few steps back.

it was as if the altar that had been split open was smiling hideously.

“Brother Fengye?” Youyou hurriedly came over and observed Fengye’s condition. She was the only one with medical skills.

when zhao xu heard the words ” 6 attribute points, ” he finally understood what was going on.

the only good thing was that fengye’s attributes were only damaged.

“how many points of constitution do you have left?” Zhao Xu asked as he knelt down.

” i only have 8 points left. i originally had 14 points of constitution, but now it has been adjusted to -1. ” fengye said, panting.

After lowering his Constitution, the most direct impact was on Fengye’s health.

“Brother Fengye, don’t worry. Just like the ghost from before, these attributes will recover.” yoyo consoled him.

Zhao Xu shook his head. this should be a curse.

at this moment, everyone turned to look at him. noah, who was the highest-ranking player in the team, suddenly had a bad feeling.

“curse descent is a level three divine spell for priests, and also a level four arcane spell for mages. It has three effects, one of which is to reduce a certain attribute by six points.” Zhao Xu explained, ” the altar we took just now probably had a magic trap that would cause a curse to fall on it. It was triggered when the Maple leaves were cut down.

No one had expected this altar to have a backup plan.

this was also the tricky part about magic traps. as long as there were no accidents, it could last for hundreds of years without a problem, unlike ordinary traps that would decay with time.

zhao xu looked at the place where the altar had been broken open, but the wall behind it didn’t seem to have any obvious marks.

However, he was certain that there was something strange about it. Most people wouldn’t set up a trap in the altar for no reason.

“if it’s a curse, the duration is permanent.” yoyo said, her face pale.

as soon as he said this, everyone present couldn’t help but be shocked.

If he lost 6 Constitution points forever, he could really delete his account and start all over again.

Only the Maple Leaf warrior class could get 10 points from the full D10 at Level 1.

if a mage with 10 constitution and a D4 health die was hit, their health would immediately become 1 hp, the kind that would fall to the ground if they were accidentally touched.

zhao xu looked at the magic trap under the altar. it looked like his most ordinary trump card was finally going to come in handy.

the thing that he had taken out when he was facing the druid, and then put back.
