Orrin's recitation became faster and faster. The surging magical elements were trying to break free from the restraints of the spell, just like a flood crashing against a dam.
This was a real gamble. Orrin was betting his life against a level-12 magical beast.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were in their mouths as they watched Orrin recite his spell quickly and the Fantama Panther shoot towards Orrin like an arrow.
If he won, he would turn the Fantama Panther into ashes.
If he lost, his chest would be torn open by the sharp claws.
At this moment, Macklin, who was in the sky, suddenly raised his magic staff.
Then … this gamble was shamelessly strangled by him.
Two aqua blue light curtains enveloped a man and a panther respectively.
In the rippling light curtains, time seemed to have stopped.
The Fantama Panther that had leaped into the air froze strangely in mid-air. Blue light flickered on its sharp claws, and its dark red eyes were filled with dullness. Orrin held his magic staff tightly and opened his mouth slightly, as if he was about to recite a spell. However, the boiling magical elements seemed to have solidified all of a sudden, and the last part of the spell was frozen in Orrin's throat …
Lin Li and Mason stood at a distance, and looked at Macklin in a daze.
It was only now that they realized that the goatee was even more insane than they had imagined.
This aqua blue light curtains were the legendary level-19 Shadow Cage!
What kind of concept was level-19 …
He only needed to take one more step to enter the real Legendary-realm.
Lin Li now knew why he could not see through the goatee's magic level, and why he could see through the disguise of the Mana Concealment Potion.
The gap between level-12 and level-19 was too huge …
No matter how sharp Lin Li's mental strength was, it was impossible for him to see through a mage who was close to the Legendary-realm. This had nothing to do with the strength of one's mental strength. It was purely due to the level suppression. It was like giving a child 100 viagra, and he would not do anything. It was purely due to the lack of ingredients, and had nothing to do with other things …
Lin Li knew from the start that the goatee was very strong.
But Lin Li did not expect him to be so strong that he was close to Old Grimm's level.
Who was Old Grimm? He was a freak who could beat a level-12 High Mage like him to the point where he couldn't even raise his head.
For a moment, be it Mason or Lin Li, they looked at Macklin with complicated gazes …
"Not bad." The goatee nodded gently as a sliver of praise appeared on his face, "You're much more powerful than that idiot from before."
Following Macklin's words, the aqua blue light screen disappeared in the air like a broken bubble. Orrin broke free from the Shadow Cage. His pale face was still expressionless, and he just stood there silently, listening to Macklin.
"However, it's only a little better …" The old man said, and glared at Orrin angrily. "You actually want to perish together with a magical beast. You're really something …"
"It will definitely die." Orrin's tone was firm, as if he was talking about something that had already happened.
"I will definitely die?" Macklin was so angry that his goatee curled up. "In that situation just now, even I wasn't sure. How can you be so sure?"
"I only believe in my own strength."
"Ridiculous confidence!" The old man was almost driven mad by him. "You have to remember that you're a respectable mage, and not a damned magical beast. Your mentor and your guild have spent a lot of effort on you. Go and ask them, and see if they're willing to exchange your life for a level-12 magical beast. Count yourself lucky if they don't slap you to death. You're really f * cking stupid!"
In the midst of Macklin's roar, there was still no expression on Orrin's pale face. He just stood there and listened quietly.
"Forget it, I don't have that much time to lecture you. Go and think about it." Macklin scolded until his mouth was dry, but Orrin did not respond at all. The old man could not help but be angry. He turned around angrily, and pointed his magic staff at Lin Li. "Now it's your turn, the most cunning kid."
"…" Seeing that Orrin did not manage to take down the Fantama Panther, Lin Li knew that he could not avoid it anymore. Since Macklin had shouted at him, he did not say much, and braced himself to go forward.
"This is so embarrassing. It's just a little black cat, and both of us could not take it down. The most cunning kid, you've got to work hard."
"I'll try my best."
Macklin released the Shadow Prison as soon as he finished his sentence.
This time, he gave Lin Li even less time than before.
The distance between the man and the panther was less than 10 meters. As soon as the Shadow Prison was released, the Fantama Panther rushed out. The anger that was triggered by Orrin was immediately vented on Lin Li. With a series of roars, all kinds of Dark Magic rained down on the ground, and the surrounding soil started to boil. It was like an endless swamp.
Lin Li was not flustered, and cast a Feather Fall on himself.
Although the effect of this low-level magic was not enough to make him float in the air like Macklin, it was more than enough to deal with the swamp. At the same time, an Icicle whizzed out. The Icicle was a ruthless thing. It was between a magical attack and a physical attack. Even a level-12 Fantama Panther would have to choose to avoid the Icicle …
"Roar!" The Fantama Panther swung its tail, and a black afterimage drew a distorted arc in the air. It avoided the Icicle that was shooting towards it, and then leaped towards Lin Li at an even faster speed.
However, Lin Li did not seem to have seen it, and continued to recite his spell.
When the Fantama Panther leaped, Lin Li had also completed the recitation of the Frost Spell.
However, his target was not the Fantama Panther that was leaping towards him, but the land that had been corroded in front of him.
What followed was a chilly air, and a thick layer of ice rapidly formed on the soft soil.
Orrin's pale face revealed a hint of doubt. Mason's expression was filled with anxiety and nervousness, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Both of them could not understand why Lin Li would do this.
The sharp claws of the Fantama Panther were right in front of him, but this level-seven mage had only released a Frost Spell. Furthermore, it was a failed Frost Spell. It did not hit the Fantama Panther, but hit the land that had been corroded.
"Slash!"
Before Mason and Orrin could understand what was going on, they heard a soft sound, and saw the Fantama Panther fall …
Both of their eyes widened at the same time.
A level-12 magical beast actually fell by itself!
Furthermore, the fall was extremely heavy. With the running speed of the Fantama Panther, its internal organs almost fell out on the spot. It could only be seen sliding on the ice for a long distance before crashing into a tree with a loud bang.
"F * ck, this luck …" Mason could not help but exclaim in admiration. This fella's luck was too good. It was clearly a failed Frost Spell, but it had unexpectedly turned into a trap, and caused a level-12 magical beast to fall. Even a level-nine mage like him had never achieved such a feat before.
The fall was extremely heavy. Even the strong body of a level-12 magical beast could not withstand it. When the Fantama Panther climbed up from the tree, there was already a trace of blood flowing from the corner of its mouth. This was the second time it had suffered such a heavy injury in a day. The unique ferocity of magical beasts was completely stimulated. For a moment, only a series of roars could be heard, and a hint of madness could be seen in its dark red eyes.
"Quick, use Mana Retroaction!" Mason was extremely anxious as he watched from the side.
But his shout was still a little too late. Almost at the same time as Mason's voice fell, a few white bony arms had already torn through the soft soil, and suddenly emerged from the ground. As the bony arms tore at Lin Li's legs, his legs were instantly riddled with scars. While he was fleeing in a sorry state, he raised the magic staff in his hand.
Then, Mason saw this fella use Mana Retroaction …
"You can't be …" Mason really wanted to die. The other party had already cast the spell for a long time, and you only thought of using Mana Retroaction now? He really wanted to ask that fella if he dared to be any slower!
Just as Mason's face turned ashen, he suddenly realized that the mana of the Fantama Panther had been locked. In other words, the late Mana Retroaction had actually locked a spell!
"F * ck!"
Mason almost jumped up upon seeing this. The Fantama Panther's Dark Magic was all instantaneous, and it was harder than ascending to the heavens to gain Feedback on these instantaneous spells. The reason why he shouted just now was just to try his luck. Who knew that by a freak combination of factors, this fella would really receive Feedback. This, this, this … What kind of luck was this?
At this moment, Lin Li had already escaped from the white bones, and successfully stood on the thick layer of ice.
As soon as his feet touched the ice, Lin Li released the Delaying Spell.
If it was the usual Fantama Panther, it would not be afraid of the Delaying Spell. Just a simple Blood Rush and it would be able to move at an astonishing speed. However, it was completely helpless now. Its magic was completely sealed and all it had was its physical strength. Blood Rush and Dark Canopy were useless now. It could only stare at the enemy chanting spells on the ice …
Countless fire dragons surged out, and everyone could only hear a deafening explosion. The dazzling fire instantly engulfed the Fantama Panther.
"Boom!"
In a split second, countless sparks flew. From afar, it was as brilliant as fireworks in the night sky.
Then … everything returned to normal.
Mason stared blankly at Lin Li on the ice. It was only then that he started to use his wind blades to clear a path, and cut off the bony arms that extended from the ground one by one.
"F * ck … F * ck!" Mason could only use this sentence to describe his feelings at this moment.
First, it was a freak combination of factors that led to a Frost Spell, and then, it was a Mana Retroaction.
The combination of these two coincidences created an astonishing challenge that was beyond his level …
A level-seven mage killing a level-12 Fantama Panther. Mason did not know how to describe such luck. Was it an invincible lucky star?
"Well done!" Macklin was not stingy with his compliments. Mason could not understand the battle, but he was an Archmage who was close to the Legendary-level. How could he be like Mason and attribute everything to luck?
Skillful spell-casting skills, precise control of timing, and innate talent in battle — this self-proclaimed level-seven mage was indeed the most cunning among the three.
Especially that last Mana Retroaction. It was definitely a classic battle example that could be included in the textbooks.
What was the concept of a feedback spell that could be cast instantly?
Even with his strength that was close to the Legendary-level, he could only hit it five or six times out of ten. Looking at this fella's calm and confident expression, he had long known that he would be able to feedback the Darkness Screen!
Macklin felt that the success rate was inconceivable …
His heart was filled with curiosity. Whose student was this kid? Gerian definitely couldn't do it. Although this guy's strength was good, he wasn't that powerful. He couldn't teach such a student. Other than Gerian, was there any other powerful person in the Jarrosus Guild of Magic? Andoine … Obviously not. This old fellow was holed up in the Alanna Pharmacists Guild all year round, and rarely went to Jarrosus once in eight to ten years. How would he have the time to teach this fella?
"F * ck, I will dig this person out sooner or later …"
Macklin would never have thought that this fella had not only received guidance from Andoine, but had also fought with another Legendary-mage from Jarrosus, Grimm Burnside, for more than half a month!
"You guys have completed the first mission. Now, follow me back to the Guild of Magic. I have to think about what mission to assign you guys for fun …"
