Chapter 444 - Staff of Time
For most of the Adventurers of Anril, the Evil Eye was probably one of the hardest level-18 magical beast to deal with. They spent most of their lives living in dark and moist underground areas. For example, the ruins of the High Elves deep underground were usually forcibly occupied by the Evil Eyes and made their nest. Even if these High Elves’ ruins had been discovered by Adventurers, most of them would be marked as restricted areas because it was too dangerous…
An Evil Eye itself was a level-18 magical beast, so an average Adventurer could not afford to provoke it. Furthermore, they had a damned habit of living in groups. This was the most dangerous part. The would easily be tens or even hundreds of Evil Eyes living together. Once provoked, it was equivalent to poking a hornet’s nest. How many Adventurers were willing to risk being so unfortunate?
Even the likes of Silver Hand, a titan known as the strongest mercenary corps in Felan, would not dare to venture into a High Elves’ ruins occupied by large numbers of Evil Eyes if they did not manage to hire some high-level Priests to hold the line, not to mention average Adventurers. There was no helping it. This was no longer a problem that tactics and commands could solve. No matter how well-trained or disciplined they were, they could not overcome this absolute difference in power.
The strongest weapon of the Evil Eyes was their tentacles that were tougher than steel and nimbler than fingers. Usually, they would use this eight tentacles to walk upright. Their speed was like a gale, and they could close up on their target in an instant. After that, these eight tentacles would strangle their target like eight pythons…
However, if anyone were to be cautious only about their eight tentacles and forget about that single eye, then they would not be far from demise. A so-called magical beast was a beast that had a talent for using spells. Since the Evil Eye was a level-18 magical beast, then it naturally would have its own talent in spells. All of the Evil Eye’s magical talents came from its gigantic singular eye.
The Evil Eye could use that eye to shoot out a level-18 spell, Aestus Beam. The Aestus Beam’s temperature could reach up to hundreds of degrees celsius. It could be said that whatever it went past would leave nothing behind, for even a thick steel armor would be instantly pierced through.
Of course, this was not the most powerful ability…
A loud “boom” was heard, and the 12 ice pillars were instantly blasted into smithereens…
But at the same time, Geresco’s body had suddenly started to become blurry.
Indeed. After going through the arduous exchange, Geresco had finally completed Void of the Stars, and once again caused his body and soul to be placed in nothingness.
“Indeed…” Lin Li knew that Geresco was definitely going to win.
The current Geresco was an almost invincible existence. He was no longer vulnerable to magical or physical attacks. He would even not suffer from abnormal statuses like bite of mana. Even the control of the magical elements would be at his own free will, following the activation of Void of the Stars.
After this Void of the Stars was activated, Geresco’s spell casting methods had completely overturned everything that Lin Li understood about magic. Every time he made a move, it was a spell that was level-20 and above, and they were all almost instantly cast. It was like the elemental sequencing and mana control had all lost their influence on Geresco. There was no need to have time for preparation. Just a wave of his hand, and another Legendary spell was blasted off.
Even though Lin Li was mentally prepared, when he saw such a monstrous way of casting spells, he still could not help but freeze up. This was definitely not a magical ability that belonged to humans. At this point, Lin Li suddenly felt that the name “God of Mages” could not be any more appropriate. It was because only a true deity could use such unfathomable way of operating magical power.
Geresco’s casting speed was terrifying. In less than a minute, he had already used at least 10 Legendary spells. The magical elements that were immense enough to destroy the world were mercilessly poured onto the Evil Eye Tyrant’s body.
A shred of panic could finally be seen in the Evil Eye Tyrant’s singular eye. Prehistoric magical beast were not average magical beasts. Their intelligence was above a human’s. How could the Evil Eye Tyrant not know that that human mage was not something it could go against? Be it the steel-like tentacles or the cataclysmic Aestus Beam, all of its attacking methods seemed like child’s play in front of that human mage…
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now. How could Geresco, who had finally taken the advantageous spot, give the Evil Eye Tyrant a chance to retreat? With the cover of Void of the Stars, Geresco seemed to have fused with the magical elements, and destructive Legendary spells were summoned and mercilessly poured onto the Evil Eye Tyrant one after another.
When another Hellfire had descended, Lin Li’s gaze resting on the Evil Eye Tyrant was somewhat filled with sympathy. The God of Mages was indeed the God of Mages. Even the prehistoric magical beast mentioned in myths could not escape from death and defeat in the face of this unsurpassed magic powerhouse…
But, just at the point where everyone thought that Geresco was going to unleash a lethal strike and finish the enemy off, this mage suddenly took out a staff and a book.
“What is happening?” Lin Li immediately froze.
Unfortunately, even Tutankhamun could not answer this question…
The staff was the Staff of Time, and the book was the Book of Eternity. After these two magical artifacts that were the most famous during the Dark Age were taken out, Geresco’s expression became imposing. The God of Mages held the Staff of Time in one hand, while the other was holding the Book of Eternity. Countless rainbow-colored magic symbols danced around in the skies like countless rainbow-colored butterflies. Large chunks of incantations were spewed out by Geresco; some were using the human language, and some were in the High Elves’ language. Some were even the ancient language of the dragons and the divine language of the titans…
The world seemed to have suddenly became silent, and the Evil Eye Tyrant’s singular eye suddenly showed a look of terror.
Geresco silently floated in the sky, fully focused on chanting this incantation that was unfathomably long. When the last incantation had been completed, the magic staff in Geresco’s hand suddenly rose up and drew across the sky…
Suddenly, the sky was torn apart…
