End of the Magic Era - Chapter 969
Chapter 969: Mass Flash
These Moonlight Deer were really different, as they didn’t fight like the ordinary members of their race. They actually threw out a powerful wave of attacks.
A surge of mana spread out and instantly swept away the remnant power of the Moonlight Blades, allowing the lava to fuse together once again and reform the lava pond.
At this time, the three Moonlight Deer also landed in separate locations after their high jumps. Their huge bodies caused a loud rumble as they fell. The Iron Trees fell down like sandcastles, bursting into pieces as they were stepped on by the Moonlight Deer.
Shockwaves spread out from the three deer and forcibly pulled the surrounding trees from the ground while fracturing the land.
At this time, Lin Yun’s risky move ended up being effective as his subordinates caught up to the Moonlight Deer.
The mage army and Reina were in charge of one, while Enderfa, the patched puppet, and Xiuban were in charge of another, and the final one was left to Lin Yun.
The three Moonlight Deer were forcibly separated and couldn’t gather together, reducing the threat to a minimum.
The mage army had transformed into a fire cloud and had set up an array. They were rapidly moving through the air to quickly dodge the Moonlight Blades while releasing fire spells to pressure the Moonlight Deer, stopping it from leaping away.
The mages were consolidating the power of the array on one side, while a group of ten mages were using the Joint Chant Array.
Each powerful spell incantation was divided in ten, and the ten individuals were simultaneously chanting, but their incantations were different. The speed at which they were chanting was the same as an ordinary mage.
Furthermore, each mage’s incantation and each mage’s sounds didn’t match with the others. It was like everyone was chanting a different word of the incantation, which would form the complete incantation when added together, making them spend less mana to release a formidable spell.
The incantation of the Joint Chant Array was different from ordinary incantations. This was an incantation that Lin Yun had taught them. The way they split the incantations into parts and coordinated everything was a very complicated matter.
But now, there were several 10-meter-long golden red spears falling from the sky every second. Their casting speed could compare to a top-notch 9th Rank Archmage.
This kind of single-target spell with extreme piercing ability was the best kind of spell to handle a huge magic beast like the Moonlight Deer. More importantly, Reina hadn’t chosen to cast from the sky; she instead chose close-quarters combat!
In her Frost Dragon Shape, Reina’s body was seventy to eighty meters long. And with the evolution of her Life Essence, Reina’s Dragon body had become more slender, and her four sharp claws had become even sharper. Some draconic lines had started appearing on her claws, and every time she attacked, they would cause a freezing effect, and also were especially good at penetrating shields.
Dragons weren’t just proficient in magic, as they also fought in close-quarters. Only a few lifeforms could surpass Dragons in that regard, but that clearly didn’t include those Moonlight Deer with close to no ability to fight in close quarters.
Reina dove down, her huge claws ruthlessly grabbing towards the Moonlight Deer’s body as they ripped through the air. This forced that Moonlight Deer to focus on Reina.
As Reina’s claws were about to tear through the Moonlight Deer’s hide, the runes on the deer’s body rapidly moved, and a layer of moonlight spread across it, making it look as if it was wearing a thin layer of light muslin.
As Reina grabbed onto that layer of faint light, it felt just like an ordinary knife trying to cut through a thick piece of leather. The light flickered, but wasn’t torn apart.
The Moonlight Deer was immediately alarmed by the claw attack. It lifted its front hooves and stamped towards Reina while making the earth shake.
Although Frost Dragons weren’t among the Dragons most proficient in melee battle, they were innately far better at melee combat than Moonlight Deer.
But, Reina was still at a disadvantage, even if she added spells in the mix. There was a huge gap between Level 39 and Level 40, and even if those Moonlight Deer were fake Heaven Rank Magic Beasts, that gap wasn’t easily breachable.
That made up for the gap in close-quarters capabilities, but whether it was power or speed, the three Moonlight Deer were stronger than Reina in every aspect. That huge hoof kick landed on Reina, whose physique was a lot better than most Frost Dragons, and sent her flying. A dozen of her scales shattered from the kick…
As Reina’s pressure was slightly reduced, the Moonlight Deer immediately sent a dozen huge Moonlight Blades towards the sky. Those silent and powerful Moonlight Blades cut through the fire cloud apart, forcibly severing the connection between the mages.
If it had continued for more than ten seconds, a mage from the mage army might have ended up being sliced. But thankfully, Reina rejoined the fight after a few seconds and firmly pressured the Moonlight Deer.
Reina’s Dragon Scales could only slightly obstruct those Moonlight Blades as they grazed her body, giving her a bit of breathing room. If not for that small amount of time, Reina might have been turned into a corpse by the Moonlight Deer, who were known for being harmless.
After several clashes, the eyes of Reina and the mage army were red, as they had been pushed to their limits.
The mage army couldn’t form their inseparable connection, making their fighting strength sharply fall, but they were able to maintain the cloud of fire thanks to the fire elements continuously converging over.
The more flames they had around them, the stronger the power of the mage army, the faster their casting speed, and the more powerful their spells. This would also keep them safer.
Now, a casual Moonlight Blade could cut off the elemental sea of fire and make them lose their connections to each other, as well as disabling the effects of the arrays. This was a huge blow.
After several back and forth, Kurumu ground his teeth and transmitted a rare order. “Mass Flash!”
A rune spat out of Kurumu’s mouth, and, while facing a dozen Moonlight Blades that showed signs of surrounding them, the fifty mages all had a solemn expression.
In a split-second, the hundred-meter-wide sea of fire sharply doubled in size, and the elemental flames grew into a huge flame net that covered almost five hundred meters.
Kurumu raised his shining staff, and just as the light flickered, the Dragonscale Staves of the mage army resonated and shone together, transforming the fifty mages into a ball of fire. With a flash, the fifty mages reappeared a hundred and fifty meters away, none of them missing.
The fifty mages couldn’t help looking excited as the Mass Flash was successful. The Mass Flash could only be successful after the mage army’s coordination reached its peak. If just one person wasn’t on the same wavelength, the fifty mages wouldn’t be able to flicker away.
And if they were successful, they could flash instantly to any place the flames had spread to, just like a personal Flash.
Moreover, the flashing distance was far greater than that of a personal Flash. This was the first time they used that spell in battle. They had yet to completely master it, so they only flashed one hundred and fifty meters away. Once they got more practice, they could even double that distance, and that distance would continue to increase as they grew stronger.
In the future, the thousand mages of the famous Blazing Army were able to sweep through a Fire Elemental Plane without losing a single person because of that Mass Flash!
When compared to Kurumu and the others, every member of that Blazing Army had mastered Fire Elemental Incarnation to its pinnacle, and the thousand mages could flash several dozen kilometers away in an instant. They were extremely powerful.
Using the opportunity given by the Mass Flash, the mage army was able to form an array and maintain their fighting strength. If not for that, they would just be a group of Low Rank Archmages and would be no different from live targets in front of the Moonlight Deer.
Reina and the mage army displayed their most powerful abilities, but they could only manage to avoid defeat.
Although it was difficult, they still forcibly stalled that Moonlight Deer and stopped it from leaving, but that deadlock wouldn’t last long.
On another side, Xiuban, Enderfa, and the patched puppet were fighting another Moonlight Deer, and they weren’t really doing better than the mage army and Reina.
Enderfa controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and followed behind the patched puppet.
The Moonlight Deer’s Moonlight Blades contained some special light power that could cut through anything that didn’t exceed it in power or have the ability to completely nullify light.
In short, apart from pure darkness power, anything that could be seen could be cut. Even air and water wouldn’t be able to fuse back together for a short time after being cut. Magic Tool Incarnations were no exception, as they would immediately lose the severed part if they were hit by the Moonlight Blades, and their memories and intelligence might be harmed.
Thus, Enderfa kept hiding behind the puppet as he crazily cast spells through the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.
The spellwaves of the four elements released by the patched puppet and Enderfa were fused through a simple and rough method, making the spells completely collapse before transforming into a pure elemental storm containing destructive power.
Huge rays of colorful lights shot out of the storm and kept attacking the Moonlight Deer.
The Moonlight Deer angrily neighed, and the runes on the surface of its body were moving about. Several spinning Moonlight Blades flew out, cutting through the Elemental Storm and chasing after Enderfa and the patched puppet.
The Elemental Storm contained berserk power, and while the Moonlight Blades could pierce through the Elemental Storm, they couldn’t prevent the Elemental Storm’s power from sweeping over and tearing everything apart in its way. Even the Iron Trees were turned into dust that dispersed in the sky.
