Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master - Chapter 400
Chapter 400: Eternal Light Spell
These 20 Death Knights that were spawned by Gloomy Dark could be said to be the elites of the elites. The weakest of them was level-16, while the strongest already reached level-18. When they rode the Shapeshifters in a charge, a black Combat Energy started to arise. It looked like flowing black steel when observed from afar…
And standing in the way of this flowing steel was a young mage wearing a black robe. He naturally had a rather weak figure, but it looked even weaker and smaller in the face of this flowing steel.
The distance between both parties got smaller and smaller. The Death Knights had already raised their swords, and there was a white frost circling around their blades. The black Combat Energy was like a searing flame, the Shapeshifters neighed, and the dense sounds of the hooves were seemingly knocking on everyone’s hearts.
At that moment, time seemed to have been frozen in place. Even the air had a smell that suffocated people pervading it, and everyone’s hearts started to tighten. Be it Adelo, Johnathan, Norfeller, or Rina, everyone from the advance party had their gaze set on that weak figure simultaneously.
100 meters became 10 meters in just the blink of an eye…
The searing Combat Energy that pervaded the air looked like a thundercloud that covered the sky. At this point, even that weak figure seemed rather blurry. Everyone could only faintly see that he slowly raised the magic staff in his hands. That bit of pale yellow light looked dim and weak in the black fog, just like an oil lamp that was swaying amidst a storm.
The Shapeshifters’ charging speed was faster than lightning. The black torrent was like an open mouth of a gigantic beast. It was as if that weak figure was going to be swallowed in an instant.
It’s over… Adelo’s gaze was full of despair. There was nothing to be concerned about anymore. This group of Death Knights was too powerful. There was even one among them that had the chance to become a Retribution Knight. When they ordered the Shapeshifters to start charging, they were like an invincible existence. It was impossible for an Archmage to resist their full force no matter how powerful he was.
Only a Legendary mage could defend against them.
Indeed, the mysterious aura being emitted from this young mage’s whole body was very strong. Adelo even felt that out of all the young mages he had seen before, this Felic would be the strongest other than Hutton.
However, he was just an Archmage no matter how powerful he was…
Such a pity…
At this point, Adelo’s gaze carried a tinge of sympathy.
You were just unlucky… Adelo sighed, and reached into his pocket, grabbing the scroll that he had prepared…
But, at this point…
…there was a sudden gleam of light emerging from the black fog.
At the start, that glimmer of light was rather dim, but Adelo very quickly felt that that gleam of light started getting brighter and brighter. In the end, it was as brilliant as a blazing sun in the sky.
“This… This is..” The expression on Adelo’s face immediately froze, and he could not shut his mouth. His eyes were filled with disbelief. “This is… This is Eternal Light Spell!”
The legendary level-21 spell: Eternal Light Spell!
When that glimmer of light started to bloom, Adelo had once thought that it was some powerful magical equipment as well as that it was a spell where both sides perished together. But, Adelo definitely hadn’t thought that it actually was a level-21 Holy Light spell!
Once mages broke through level-21, they would enter a mysterious realm. This realm was called Legendary-realm. Every mage that could step into the Legendary-realm was an incomparably strong existence, and their stories became true legends. In Anril, there were many legends about Legendary mages being circulated. The most famous ones were undoubtedly those few mages from the Dark Ages that personally struck down the Sky Castle.
Geresco, Apophis, Hesselink…
All of these names were a shining bright star in the history of Anril.
As the disciple of a Legendary mage, Adelo was clearer than anyone else what sort of terrifying powers a mage would have once he stepped into the Legendary-realm. It was a completely different power when compared to an Archmage’s.
Adelo even remembered that band of bandits that was placed at the top five in the Breezy Plains ten years ago… Back then, this band of bandits had a quite a few powerhouses level-15 and above. They had Warriors and Mages amongst them, and their leader was a level-18 Demonic Archmage, but when they entered into a conflict with the Malfa Family, his mentor Cheyenne obliterated this powerful band of bandits in an instant. He only used 10 spells from the beginning to the end, and he killed 10 of the most important core members including the leader. After that, the whole band instantly collapsed, allowing the Malfa Family to complete the trade route with the Dwarf Kingdom…
This was the power of a Legendary mage…
In his youth, Adelo had once yearned for this sort of power. In that period of time, he fervently researched magic, including all of the knowledge that could be researched. This continued till Adelo was forty years old when Adelo finally gave up on his dream. He had no choice but to admit dishearteningly that he could at most become an Archmage at the peak of level-19 after spending his whole lifetime researching magic. As for the Legendary-realm above that, he would never be able to reach it…
Only geniuses like Mentor Cheyenne and Hutton could step into the Legendary-realm.
There was a lot of people called genius mages in Anril, but in Adelo’s heart, only Hutton was worthy of that moniker. Adelo could even say that he’d seen his progress with his own eyes. Hutton had come in contact with magic at the age of eight, and he had already reached the realm of level-18 Archmage in less than 20 years that have passed since then. Every improvement of his was witnessed by Adelo. Other than being envious, he was also jealous as well.
From Adelo’s perspective, Hutton was a person born for magic. As long as there was anything related to magic, it would not trouble him at all. No matter how profound the theory of magic was, or how complicated the spell execution was, it would be solved easily once it was in Hutton’s hands. Even the mentor that was very strict would have no choice but to give a smile full of praise when facing Hutton.
However, today…
Adelo had no choice but to add the name “Felic” to the list of genius mages…
Since the advance party had set off, the battles and shocks made Adelo have no choice but to admit that the magic talent of this Felic was on par with Hutton’s…
Adelo never dreamed that he would be able to witness a level-21 spell.
Oh my God, this was a power that even Mentor Cheyenne never had before…
However, it was very likely he did not possess such a power in his body. Most likely, he had used some powerful magical equipment or some sort of mysterious ritual so that he could temporarily use such a terrifying spell. It was because a level-21 spell did not require three minutes to recite the incantations.
But so what?
It was a genuine level-21 spell. No matter what sort of methods Lin Li had used, he still executed it. Surely it did not mean that one should criticize the other party because of this in a battle of life and death? Who would say “Mate, it’s not right to cast the spell this way. You broke the rules!”?
Wasn’t this bullsh*t…
Furthermore, Adelo, as the disciple of a Legendary mage, was clearer than anyone else what was the difference between Legendary-realm spells and normal spells. Once spells had reached this level, it was no longer a question of whether there was sufficient mana. Many times, Legendary spells relied on the understanding and application of rules. Only with sufficient understanding and application of magic rules could one use those spells that only existed in legends.
No matter how powerful a mage was, as long as his understanding and application of magic rules was not profound enough, he would still not be able to use Legendary spells or become a genuine Legendary-realm mage.
The opposite was true as well. If a mage’s understanding and application of the rules was profound enough, then it was only a matter of time before he became a Legendary mage. All he needed was merely sufficient build-up. Once all the conditions were met, the Legendary-realm would be an unlocked gate. With just a slight push, the mage would be able to enter the world that every mage dreamt of.
Without a doubt, Felic was the latter…
Irregardless of whether he used some powerful magical equipment or underwent some sort of mysterious ritual, the incantations were recited by his mouth, and the elemental structure was sequenced by his mental strength. This also meant that his understanding and application of rules had already reached the Legendary-realm standard. Becoming a Legendary mage was just a matter of time for him.
Furthermore, he was younger than Hutton. He was just 20 years old…
Maybe within a few years, there would be another Legendary mage appearing in the Breezy Plains. A Legendary mage that was shockingly young…
“Eh…” Just when there countless thoughts revolving around Adelo’s mind, that black fog had been dispelled by the light. The whole world had suddenly become clean, and even the sky seemed to be brighter. The Undead creatures summoned by the Tide of Death and remaining tens of Vampires had evaporated in the midst of the Eternal Light just like snow under the sun.
However, those 20 Death Knights were fine.
All of that instantly caused Adelo to have a rather shocked expression.
Even Liches could not defend against the level-21 Eternal Light Spell, so how could it fail to exterminate 20 Death Knights?
This time, it was not just Adelo. Even Norfeller, Ujfalusi, Rina, and the rest were stunned. Could it be that these 20 Death Knights were so strong that such a powerful magical power could not kill them?
This strange sight made everyone’s heart tightened after they became relaxed.
