End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1181

Chapter 1181: The Ancestors’ Test (2)

Labard’s eyes widened. Silver radiance flashed across his body as he instantly appeared several dozen meters away. Cracks formed where he had been standing, spreading out like a tree’s branches.

Everyone’s expressions instantly changed.

Labard wiped his cold sweat as he looked at the cracks on the ground, still somewhat fearful.

‘Damn, is that guy really a 9th Rank Archmage? Even a 1st Rank Heaven Mage wouldn’t have such a violent attacking method, right?

‘This ground had been treated under extreme pressure to the point where 1st Rank Heaven Mages shouldn’t be able to create a crack on it when using Extraordinary Power. But now, ten meters of it was cracked open.

‘Damn… Those guys definitely knew that Mafa was incredibly powerful. No wonder not a single one of them was willing to test the newcomer.’

Surprise also flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes. After all, Heaven Rank powerhouses normally would just be starting to touch upon the power of space. Those below the Heaven Rank weren’t qualified to touch upon spatial power.

This was because spatial power in itself was a Law, and to use it, one had to first comprehend the Law of Space. Those that advanced to the Heaven Rank with the Law of Space were very rare, but as long as they matured, they would become powerful first-rate powerhouses.

Labard’s Teleportation was a good example. Even though it was only a few dozen meters, it would be extremely effective for self-preservation.

After reappearing, Labard didn’t dare to continue defending. A space mage’s defensive methods might not necessarily be reliable here.

He once again released a Spatial Shield and rapidly chanted an incantation. Runes flickering with silver light appeared, and ripples emerged in the air, rapidly approaching Lin Yun.

Lin Yun’s four elemental shields rapidly revolved. The earthen shield was the first to clash with the ripple, and the metallic Earth Shield was split open as if it had encountered an exceedingly sharp blade.

It was followed by the Ice Shield, which was also torn in two. The ripple was only stopped halfway through his Wind Shield, and then it dissipated.

But even the dissipated ripple still shook the space around Lin Yun. A Heaven Mage would be unable to open a Spatial Door there for a few hours.

This was a Spatial Shockwave. It was known as a space mage’s most basic offensive ability, but its power exceeded the strongest 8th Tier Spell!

Seeing that a Spatial Shockwave couldn’t do anything to Lin Yun, Labard immediately became serious.

As he rapidly chanted his incantations, transparent Spatial Shockwaves kept coming out of Labard’s hands like a dozen huge Wind Blades.

Lin Yun scattered his four elemental shields and immediately used his Law Runic Shield. The Spatial Shockwaves impacted Lin Yun’s Law Runic Shield and roused a large number of law runes. Numerous law runes rose to the surface of the shield and easily resisted all the Spatial Shockwaves.

Seeing this scene, Labard’s face turned green…

‘Sh*t, isn’t he still an Archmage? How could he have so many law runes? How many are there? Five thousand? Eight thousand? Damn, has it surpassed ten thousand?

‘With so many law runes forming the Law Runic Shield, I can’t tear it apart even though it isn’t fused with a Mana Shield and an Elemental Shield…

‘How can I fight him? That guy is more troublesome than that spectating earth mage. No, I can’t fight…

‘But even if I don’t want to fight, I can’t really admit defeat… That would be a huge loss of reputation, and these b*stards would definitely make fun of me for the next decade…’

Labard was at a loss… He really didn’t know what to do. The large spellwave appeared in the surroundings, flowing toward Labard like a huge tidal wave.

These spells were transferred to other places by Labard’s Spatial Shield, but Labard no longer dared to divert them towards the dense fog. He instead diverted them towards the ground a few hundred meters away.

Soon, everything within a few hundred meters was flooded with fierce elemental power. Labard was suddenly startled as he discovered that he had been encircled by the spell waves and that he had nowhere else to divert the fierce power.

Facing that terrifying Ice-Fire Storm again, his Spatial Shield shivered. He simply couldn’t divert that power again.

Labard decisively prepared to use Teleportation again, but his Spatial Shield was starting to tear apart, and the fierce power in the surroundings was like the depths of the sea pressuring him from all directions.

Numerous streaks of silvery light surged from Labard’s body as silver runes formed a spherical Fusion Shield surrounding him.

The fierce power continuously deformed his Fusion Shield and rapidly consumed his mana. His law runes frantically fluctuated, and he was about to reach the limits of the law runes he could rouse.

At this time, Labard decisively shouted, “Sir Mafa, I concede, please stay your hand…”

Labard’s panicked shout echoed, but before Reedman and Blakeman could make a move, the fierce power surrounding Labard instantly dissipated. Within a second, the several-hundred-meter wide sea of chaotic elements thoroughly disappeared.

Reedman sighed.

‘Formidable mana control, outstanding control over elements. He actually relied on elemental spells to pressure Labard into a life-or-death situation. He even forced him to use his Fusion Shield and made him unable to escape.

‘Such a frightening guy… none of the 1st Rank Heaven powerhouses here could corner Labard to that degree. Even the barbarous Blakeman couldn’t get such results.

‘And it looks like Mafa didn’t release all of his power, he only used one Magic Tool. I heard that he has three Magic Tools and a commonly used Magic Staff…’

Labard dejectedly scattered his Fusion Shield, which was considered the strongest defense within the same tier, even stronger than Earth Shield. It was also known by another name, the absolute defense. It couldn’t be torn apart unless there was a force powerful enough to tear through space, yet it showed signs of being deformed under Lin Yun’s attack.

Seeing that Lin Yun hadn’t even broken a sweat, Labard bitterly smiled and shook his head.

“Sir Mafa’s fighting style is very fierce, it’s really too terrifying. If an enemy encountered Sir Mafa for the first time, they would definitely pay a disastrous price…”

Labard’s fight had been tragic… It had been a beating. The other mages looked at him and then pretended to be dead.

Reedman looked around as he wanted someone stronger to test Lin Yun’s strength, but he discovered that these 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouses were all playing dead.

On the side, flames started burning in Blakeman’s eyes. He reached out with his hand, and a huge, two-meter-long staff appeared. It was called a staff, but it looked more like a huge magic metal spear.

Blakeman fanatically strode over and laughed heartily as he raised his staff.

“Right, mage battles have to be fierce like that! Enemies shouldn’t have time to breathe, that’s what a real battle is.

“Come, Sir Mafa. These 1st Rank kids are definitely not a match for you. I’ll only use the power of the 2nd Rank.

“Come, let’s have a true mage battle, let’s go berserk and attack as much as we like. Hahahahaha…”

Seeing Blakeman personally taking the stage, the rest of the Heaven powerhouses all took a step back. Reedman facepalmed as if it was a headache.

“Blakeman, you damn guy, have you lost your mind? Sir Mafa has yet to advance to the Heaven Rank…”

Blakeman disdainfully glanced at Reedman, his eyes filled with battle intent.

“Reedman, you old-fashioned guy, don’t interfere. It’s hard to find a mage that fights in such a manly way. I have to let him continue and have him experience how a true man fights. I can’t let him be led astray by softies like you…”

After that sentence, Blakeman’s body suddenly burst out with a terrifying aura. His body seemed to have grown a bit, and his fierce mana fluctuations even seemed to fuse with the heavy Aura of a Sword Saint.

Gales whirled around Blakeman’s body, but the air within ten meters of him seemed frozen as if it was pressured and couldn’t flow.

That huge staff twirled in Blakeman’s hands and was ferociously thrust into the ground. The earth shook, and cracks spread out like spiderwebs.

“Battlemage!”

Seeing Blakeman’s actions, Lin Yun’s pupils shrank and he let that word slip.

Blakeman laughed heartily and calmly admitted it.

“Correct. I did hear that Sir Mafa’s relationship with those Gaugass guys wasn’t bad. Come, I’ll only use the power of the 2nd Rank, let’s fight.”

In the distance, it looked like the mages were watching something terrifying unfold. They all raised their shields and moved as far away as possible. Even Reedman raised a shield with some apprehension before retreating far away.

Labard smirked and instantly forgot about being beaten up. He squinted and hid in the distance to watch the fight.

‘Haha, Sir Blakeman is personally making a move. Eh, Sir Mafa, I sincerely pray for you. I hope you won’t be beaten up too ruthlessly.

‘Sir Blakeman has half of the bloodline of a Gaugass Battlemage, and he is even more powerful than those Gaugass Battlemages. He even incorporated the spellcasting of mages into his extremely fierce fighting style, and his fighting strength far exceeds powerhouses of the same level.

‘When the monstrous Santon came here, he was beaten up by Blakeman.

‘Once Sir Blakeman starts fighting, all he can think about is fighting more, and he won’t stay his hand. Even that monster, Santon, was almost killed by Sir Blakeman.

‘Though… Santon ended up beating Sir Blakeman later on.

‘Although Sir Mafa is very talented and might beat him back in the future, that won’t happen right now. Now, he can only wait for Sir Blakeman to ruthlessly beat him up. I hope that guy’s body isn’t as frail as it looks.’

Labard watched the show from a distance, waiting for Lin Yun to be beaten until he soiled his pants.

As for the other mages, they all seemed to think of something, and they smiled as they watched the fight from a distance.

“How long do you think Sir Mafa will last? I bet three minutes…”

“Three minutes? You must be kidding! Even lasting a minute would be outstanding!”

“No, you misunderstood me. I think that Sir Mafa will be knocked out within three minutes…”

“Oh, like this… I think Sir Mafa’s Law Runic Shield is very powerful and is a lot stronger than a 1st Rank Heaven Mage’s Fusion Shield. There might already be 10,000 runes within. How could such a terrifying guy not last five minutes before being knocked out?”

Labard joined them and extended a finger with self-confidence.

“I’ll bet that Sir Mafa will last six minutes before being knocked out!”

After pausing, Labard walked to Reedman’s side.

“Sir Reedman, how long do you think Sir Mafa can last?”

Reedman pondered for a bit before answering, “I think that with his strength, Mafa should be able to resist Blakeman solidly for half a minute, and then be defeated after five minutes. For Blakeman to knock him out, it should take over ten minutes…”

While the mages were discussing how long it would take for Lin Yun to be knocked out, Lin Yun had already taken out the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Book of Mantras.

Blakeman’s strength far exceeded his own. The battlemage’s aura was a bit stronger than Clombton’s. Even if he only used the strength of a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse, an ordinary 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse couldn’t compare to him.

Enderfa controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, his three faces looking at the scene before him with horror, not understanding what was happening.

Syudos controlled the Book of Mantras and silently floated on Lin Yun’s left without saying a word.

Pure mana condensed into droplets around Lin Yun. The sound of a river could be heard coming from Lin Yun as mana erupted like a fountain. The fierce mana fluctuations spread out like waves.

The Book of Death scattered four-colored radiances, and the Draconic Staff’s Purple Dragon Incarnation flew out. At the same time, the shadow of a wheel as deep as the starry sky was embraced by the Purple Dragon’s shadow.

After pronouncing four awkward-sounding syllables, a series of law runes surrounded Lin Yun’s body. These four-colored runes merged with Lin Yun’s body.

The power of earth, fire, water, and wind transformed into elemental spheres that revolved around Lin Yun, while Lin Yun himself transformed into a tall elemental lifeform.

Fusing the Elemental Incarnations of all four elements was something that could only be accomplished after grasping the essence of all of them.

The most important part was using the four Elemental Laws to establish the Law Foundation. Someone with achievement in all four elemental laws could integrate the abilities of all four Elemental Incarnations. This could be considered the most powerful Elemental Incarnation among the four elements.

As Lin Yun burst with power, his aura rapidly rose for a few seconds, until it was comparable to that of a Heaven Mage. It was even fiercer.

And this wasn’t over yet. Lin Yun’s body floated up, and the shadow of an ancient set of scales appeared. Lin Yun’s body floated in the center of the scales while the Spell Wheel and Book of Mantras transformed into a mirage of the Elemental Heart and Void Forge resting on both trays of the scales.

A huge power instantly burst through the void and poured into the Spell Wheel, raising the Spell Wheel’s power to the Extraordinary grade.

A huge wheel shadow appeared and emitted a terrifying Extraordinary aura, while on the other side of the scales, a flaming entrance slowly opened. All kinds of flames surged within.

The fiercest elemental storms spurted out of the Spell Wheel. Those calamitous elemental storms bursting out from the void were no different in terms of quality; it was only a difference in terms of scale.

The entrance formed by the Book of Mantras spurted out all kinds of flames, forming a flaming tsunami that made the temperature rise frantically.

Pale Corrosive Fire, golden-red Hellfire, and ashen Bone-corroding Black Flames…

In addition, Syudos used incantations to nurture the summoned flames. The boundless flames seemed to have tracking properties.

Lin Yun was holding the Book of Death in his left hand and the Draconic Staff in his right while condensing numerous law runes.

Four-Element Bombs suddenly condensed in midair like a swarm of poisonous wasps, rapidly flying out after appearing.

This was a new fighting technique that Lin Yun had recently developed after reaching a bottleneck in the development of the Four-Element Bombs: the Four-Element Bomb Flood!

Relying on indiscriminate bombing, it would create a zone of chaotic destruction, an elemental vacuum, an energy vacuum. No air and no power could be used; only large-scale destruction spells!

Lin Yun burst out with all his strength and startled the group of spectating mages.

Labard foolishly watched Lin Yun bursting with all his firepower and was a bit stunned.

‘Damn, is this Mafa Merlin’s strongest power? The gap is too big… If he had burst out with all his power, wouldn’t I have been killed in less than ten seconds?

‘Heavens, I’m a Heaven Mage, and a space mage! Isn’t it common knowledge that a space mage can’t be killed by anyone of the same Rank!?

‘Then why do I feel that this 9th Rank Archmage could easily get rid of me!?’
