Chapter 117 - A Freakish Mage
Everyone witnessed how the level-seven Mage stood in a daze when he saw the Fireball. He stood rooted to the ground, allowing the flames to engulf him…
This was followed by a distortion in the surroundings.
After that, they realized that the level-seven Mage was still alive, while the blazing Fireball had vanished…
Completely vanished…
The glaring glow of fire was gone, and the long trail of flames was nowhere to be seen; even its strong sense of destructiveness was wiped off instantaneously. Not a single trace of magical wave was left.
Everyone was stunned by the disappearance of the Fireball.
The crowd observing the battle was all distinguished members of their own Guild of Magic. Among them, many were renowned and powerful Mages. Even the least skilled was at least a level-eight Mage. How could they not understand what was unfolding before their eyes?
The crowd of mages fell into a frenzy.
Firstly, they already thought that the act of Lin Li swallowing a Fireball was a feat out of this world. Then, they grew totally incredulous with what happened thereafter…
This crazy fella could summon a Fireball instantaneously!
At that moment, everyone had the impulse to crash into the wall because of what they had witnessed.
That was such a contradiction to human nature!
“Pom!”
A Fireball dropped onto the trembling Elemental Shield, and the collision generated a series of uncontrollable magical waves. In that instance, the tremendous impact inflicted on Matthias’ Elemental Shield caused the plate to split into a thousand fragments. Without the last layer of protection, he was as though a disrobed young lady, confused and terrorized by the hideous laughter of perverts surrounding her…
After Matthias got disarmed by the Fireball, Lin Li grabbed the opportunity to continue his attack. He raised his right arm and unleashed a series of Arcane Missiles on the poor man.
“AHHH…”
The excruciating cry of Matthias reverberated lastingly… In the midst of that shrill shriek, everyone heard a distinct crisp sound as well. They knew that it was the sound of bones breaking.
Four Arcane Missiles created four explosions, also breaking the bones of Matthias. Unlike how he treated Orrin—breaking one of his arms—the ruthless Lin Li was more thorough in his actions. He broke all four limbs of Matthias…
The agonizing pain from his broken limbs was so tormenting that it went beyond what normal human beings could handle. His blood-curdling wails were never-ending, and sent shivers down everybody’s spines. Squirming on the ground in a pool of sweat, Matthias was like a dried shrimp that was soaked in boiling water.
“You are free to submit your application for a duel now,” gibed Lin Li as he looked at Matthias in disdain. Then, his glance fell on the two mages who were chiming in previously.
He raised his brows in contempt, but inquired politely, “May I know if my teammate had offended your Guild as well?”
“Nonononono…”
“H-he’s right! Absolutely not!!”
Lin Li’s sarcastic tone as he asked his question contemptuously was so terrifying it nearly drove their souls out in fear. While denying, both of them inched backwards as if they could break off any relationship they had with Matthias that way.
He had to be joking…
Not to mention if Orrin had even offended any Guild, if he really had, who would have had the guts to admit it in front of this freak? Should they agitate this fella, how would they survive his four Arcane Missiles? They would have to be mad to challenge him…
“I-it’s Matthias! H-he tried to sow discord between us and Brother Orrin!” one mage said.
“Y-yes, yes! He’s really a sly fella!” The second Mage followed suit.
After nodding profusely to make themselves seem more credible, they strided towards Matthias and gave him a strong kick with zero hesitation.
Having lost all his limbs, Matthias was already pitiful enough. Tears of pain were already welling up in his eyes. With the additional kick, it was like splashing oil on top of fire. It aggravated his suffering, and caused him to roll around in greater pain. His screams intensified, provoking sympathy among the onlookers.
