The light of the Great Purification Spell gradually dissipated, and the Aurora Square regained its previous silence. The monster that had blasted out 60 Pyroblasts in one breath had already returned to the resting area in the dazzling light. They did not even wait for the referee to announce the final winner, because the outcome of this battle was so obvious that even a blind person could see it. Gryffindor was lying on the ground motionlessly. His heartbeat was normal, and his breathing was normal. From time to time, he would let out a painful groan from his throat, but it gave people the feeling that he was already dead …
This feeling was indeed strange. He was clearly alive, but it gave people the feeling that he was a corpse. However, after thinking about it carefully, the mages in the spectator seats could not help but come to a realization …
Indeed, this was all because of the mental strength.
Although Gryffindor was alive, he was no longer the number one magic genius of Felan. This was because his mental strength had been depleted to the limit, and it could even be said that it had been completely destroyed. In less than 20 seconds, Gryffindor's body had undergone an earth-shattering change.
There was no longer a trace of magical wave from his body. He was lying there like a walking corpse …
Macklin was a little confused. "How could this be?"
"I should not have made a move …" Aldwin sighed softly. There were so many people present, but he was probably the only one who knew what had happened in the light of the Great Purification Spell.
In fact, at the moment when the Great Purification Spell was released, he knew that something was wrong. This was because he could clearly feel that a huge wave of mental strength had surged into Gryffindor's mind with the help of the power of the Great Purification Spell. That almost destructive aura made even a powerhouse like Aldwin, who had already broken through to the Legendary-realm, secretly shocked. It was too powerful and too domineering. It was as if thousands of thunderbolts had fallen, and Gryffindor's mental strength was completely destroyed in an instant …
"You did it?" Macklin was shocked.
"No, no, no …" Aldwin shook his head, and there was some helplessness in his expression. "It's just that if I did not make a move, Gryffindor would not be like this. Sigh, Macklin, we really thought we were smart this time …"
The more Macklin listened, the more confused he became. "What do you mean?"
"You trial apprentice, I really don't know how to describe you. You're terrifyingly smart. This battle seemed to be full of surprises, but everything was actually within his expectations. Even me using the Great Purification Spell at the last moment to purify the blood-vines was already within his calculations. Do you know what he did to Gryffindor in the end? Mental Disruption, damn it, he actually used the power of the Great Purification Spell to separate the spell of the Mental Impact, and with this part of the separated spell, he destroyed Gryffindor's mental strength in an instant. Macklin, did you do such a terrifying thing when you were 20? "
"No … no."
"However, there is something strange. Where did he learn this incantation?"
"I guess it was taught by Andoine …" Macklin swallowed his saliva, and looked a little guilty. He remembered clearly that this spell of Mental Disruption was the reward he had given to the kid for letting Felic forge an iron sword. Yet, he did not expect that after two months, the kid would use the spell he gave him to destroy the mental strength of the number one magic genius of Felan …
Damn it, this matter cannot be spread out. Otherwise, if Rosen finds out, I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble …
Macklin looked at the President warily, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the old man's expression did not seem to be anything special.
"This time, we really thought we were smart. If I had known this would happen …" There was a hint of regret in Aldwin's voice. Although Gryffindor was not a good person, he was, after all, a powerhouse who had broken through to level-15 in his twenties. Sitting in Aldwin's position, he could not choose based on his own likes and dislikes. He had to consider the interests of the entire Alanna Guild of Magic.
"It's not a big deal." Macklin's way of thinking was much simpler. Hence, he could not hide his disgust for Gryffindor. "Who asked this little bastard to be so arrogant? Not only did he injure Orrin, he even injured Mason. It's not like you don't know Felic's character. It's already his luck that he did not kill this little bastard with a Pyroblast …"
"Sigh …" Aldwin sighed slightly again, and did not continue on this topic. He only waved his hand to call two mage apprentices over, and let them carry Gryffindor to the guild's medical room first.
"Then, the winner of this match is Felic from Jarrosus Guild of Magic!"
It was not until Gryffindor was carried away that the two judges, who had long been frightened to the point of cold sweat, came to their senses and announced the result of this match.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap …"
Thunderous applause sounded in the Aurora Square. Thousands of mages stood up at the same time, and used their warm applause to pay their respects to this young mage.
The exciting match was worthy of their applause. At the beginning, who could have imagined that this match would be so exciting? The duel between the two trial apprentices had displayed abilities that were far beyond everyone's imagination. Regardless of whether it was the victorious Felic or the defeated Gryffindor, they were both out of everyone's expectations. It was not an exaggeration to say that based on their abilities, if they were in some smaller places, they would have already taken the position of the president of the guild …
From the moment Gryffindor released the Thousand Miles of Ice, everyone knew that this match would definitely be different. Indeed, in the blink of an eye, Felic retaliated with five instantaneous Pyroblasts, followed by 60 Pyroblasts in one go, and pushed the match to its climax step by step. At that moment, almost everyone thought that they were dreaming. To them, this was more shocking than any Legendary magic.
This could be said to be a perfect match. Regardless of whether it was Gryffindor's Thousand Miles of Ice or Felic's 60 Pyroblasts, they were all filled with dreamy colors. They were impeccable and impeccable. Those who had seen this match with their own eyes would probably not be interested in any other battle between mages.
As for what happened at the end, it could only be considered as a small flaw.
A few mages were even secretly complaining that President Aldwin had made an unnecessary move. If not for his sudden attack, the match might have been more exciting. It was all the old man's fault. Of all the times he could have attacked, he had to choose this moment. Now, Gryffindor had become a cripple. Let's see how you're going to explain this to his mentor, Rosen …
Of course, all this had nothing to do with Lin Li.
After destroying Gryffindor's mental strength with a Mental Disruption, Lin Li slowly returned to the resting area. He had been resting with his eyes closed. Even when the referee announced that he had won, he did not open his eyes to take a look. After all, this was the first time he had separated the spell of Mental Disruption. Even with the help of the Great Purification Spell, Lin Li still needed some time to calm down the crazily distorted mental strength.
"F * ck, why are you so ruthless?" Macklin had already arrived at some point in time, and was standing in front of Lin Li at this moment. He asked angrily.
Hearing Macklin's voice, Lin Li could not help but smile. "Isn't this just what you wanted?"
"Hehe …" Gryffindor was indeed too arrogant, so much so that people like Macklin had not liked him for a long time. Hearing Lin Li's words, the old man immediately laughed shamelessly. But just as he laughed, he suddenly remembered his purpose of coming here, and quickly put on a straight face. "F * ck, don't talk nonsense with me. I've already told you, kid, that Gryffindor's mentor is the Legendary-mage Rosen. That old fellow is not as kind as Aldwin. F * ck, look, you're going to be in big trouble …"
"What trouble can there be …?"
"What trouble? That old fellow Rosen is famous for being protective. If he knew that you had beaten his only disciple into an idiot, how do you think he would deal with you? "
"Felic!" While the two of them were talking, Kevin suddenly squeezed through the crowd. He looked extremely anxious, as if something big had happened.
"What's the matter?" Lin Li immediately knew that something was wrong when he saw Kevin's expression.
Kevin only glanced at Macklin. Although he did not say anything, the meaning in his eyes was very clear. Macklin had always been smarter than a monkey. When he saw Kevin's expression, he immediately guessed what was going on. Something must have happened at Jarrosus Guild of Magic, but it was not convenient for him to say it in front of him. That was why he had a wretched look on his face. Macklin immediately laughed it off and lectured Lin Li. Then, he hurriedly found an excuse and slipped away …
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" After watching Macklin leave, Lin Li lowered his voice and asked. His expression was unusually serious. He knew that Kevin would not look for him for no reason, and it was even more impossible for him to be so mysterious for no reason. He actually did not even care about the most basic etiquette …
"Just now, the Emerald Tower sent me some news. I think I have to tell you …"
"Speak!" Lin Li's heart tightened when he heard the words Emerald Tower. Now that Gerian's mana had collapsed, and the Shadow's Nest was eyeing him covetously, the news that came at this time would definitely not be good news …
"Three days ago, the Shadow's Nest attacked the Emerald Tower …"
"What?" Lin Li stood up immediately and stared at Kevin. "Is the news reliable?"
Kevin nodded heavily. "Yes."
"How … How is this possible?" Lin Li stood there blankly. He could not digest this news for a long time. The Shadow's Nest attacking the Emerald Tower at this time was simply the worst news. Gerian's mana had collapsed, and he was far away in Alanna. In the entire Emerald Tower, the strongest combat power was only a level-14 Magic Shooter. In front of the Shadow's Nest who had renewed their equipment, it was only a matter of time before they were attacked …
"What's the situation now?"
"Very bad …" Kevin covered his face with both hands and sat on the ground weakly. His voice sounded as if he was sleep-talking. "More than 20 Magic Shooters and more than 50 mages died. Almost everything was snatched by them. In the end, they even … even set fire … to the Emerald Tower …"
"F * ck …" Lin Li only felt his vision go black. More than 20 Magic Shooters and more than 50 mages were almost the entire magical power of the Emerald Tower. Without them, the Emerald Tower would need at least 10 years to recover. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire. "What about Gerian?"
"Fortunately, before the Emerald Tower was attacked, Uncle Gerian had been secretly sent away …"
"Fortunately …" Hearing the only good news, Lin Li finally heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Gerian was still around, there was still hope for the Emerald Tower. "How did the other forces react?"
"The Merlin Family has already sided with the Shadow's Nest. Other than Ysera, Reuben, and Old Odin, most of the other forces are still observing. To be honest, we really have to thank the three of them this time. If not for their protection, Uncle Gerian might not have been able to escape from the Emerald Tower safely …"
"Yes." Lin Li nodded, and the expression on his face softened a little. As long as nothing happened to Gerian, and the other forces did not act recklessly, the Emerald Tower still had a chance to turn things around. However, he had to return as soon as possible. If he was any later, he was afraid that he would lose even the three most loyal allies. After all, there was no such thing as eternal allies in this world, only eternal interests. The reason why the three forces protected Gerian was that they had long seen through the fact that the Shadow's Nest would only bring them too many benefits. Once something unforeseen happened and caused them to lose confidence in the Emerald Tower, Lin Li believed that they would definitely sell Gerian out without hesitation.
"F * ck, what is the Shadow's Nest thinking? They actually attacked the Emerald Tower at this time. Could it be that they really want to meddle in the many forces of Jarrosus? The Shadow's Nest can't be so stupid, right? This will incur the wrath of the masses … "
"No, their purpose seems to be to find something. The second day after they attacked the Emerald Tower, they retreated back to the Demon Fall Valley."
"I got it …" Lin Li nodded, and did not continue to say anything else. This time, he really understood. It was indeed similar to what he had guessed. The Shadow's Nest must have been secretly supporting the Marathon Family to attack the Demon Fall Valley. Lin Li could even imagine that both parties must have reached some kind of agreement. After success, the Marathon Family would obtain something from the Demon Fall Valley, and the Shadow's Nest would obtain the resources of the Demon Fall Valley.
However, when the Marathon Family was looking for that thing, they most likely had no clue, so they thought of attacking the Emerald Tower and finding clues in the guild's documents …
"Damn it, Marathon Family, you've got guts!" Lin Li gritted his teeth as he uttered.
"Felic, should we go back immediately? I'm afraid that Uncle Gerian … "
"No, I still have a score to settle." Lin Li shook his head. His pair of red eyes stared fixedly at Matthias in the distance. His voice was soft and low. It sounded like he was explaining to Kevin, but also like he was talking to himself. "It's time to settle the score …"
"What general account?" Kevin was baffled …
"Nothing …" Lin Li forced a smile. "Kevin, go prepare the carriage now, and then go to the Silver Hand's camp. Look for a woman called Serena, and tell her that I want to hire some people from the Silver Hand. It's best if they have strong combat abilities. Oh yes, call Ina along. I promised to bring her back to Jarrosus."
"Alright."
"Oh yes …" As Lin Li said this, he suddenly remembered something. "When you leave, don't forget to go to my place and call Sean. We have to return to Jarrosus before tomorrow evening!"
"No problem!" Kevin nodded. He did not ask anything else, and turned to enter the crowd.
…
After sending Kevin off, there was not much time left for the one-hour break. Lin Li stretched his arms and legs. Without waiting for the referee to call his name, he slowly walked into the Aurora Square alone.
"The two parties for the next match are Matthias from the Sunrise City Guild of Magic, and Felic from the Jarrosus Guild of Magic!"
"Felic!"
Just as the referee's voice fell, there was a tsunami of applause in the Aurora Square. The shouts of thousands of people shook the entire Aurora Square as if it was trembling. Almost all the mages stood up and paid their respects to this monster-like young mage in their own unique way. Those 60 Pyroblasts had completely conquered these picky spectators. No matter their identity or status, at this moment, they had completely become the followers of this mage from Jarrosus. The views of thousands of mages were unprecedentedly consistent. Everyone thought that only this monster-like mage from Jarrosus was worthy of winning the finals!
"Honestly speaking, there is no need to fight this match at all …" Hoffman was no exception. He curled his lips without any grace, and looked at Matthias, who was slowly walking into the square, with a face full of disdain. "Just based on the strength that Felic had displayed just now, there is no mage below the age of 30 in the entire Felan Kingdom who is his match. Let's just forget about that Matthias. It's better to admit defeat now, lest he embarrasses himself when the time comes …"
"No, no, no …" Herza, who was sitting beside him, shook his head. There was a thoughtful look on his old face. "If I did not guess wrongly, this match will be even more intense than the previous one …"
"Pfft …" Hoffman did not believe it at all.
Herza, however, was full of confidence. "I will not be wrong about this match again."
"Pfft. Didn't you say the same thing in the first match? What invincible battle mages? Invincible my a * s. Didn't he still get taken care of by Felic in two or three moves? And when Gryffindor went up just now, didn't you also say that Gryffindor was terrifyingly strong, and that Felic was going to be in big trouble? What happened in the end? 60 Pyroblasts, and even his mother could not recognize him … "
"Hehe …" Herza laughed, and did not try to defend himself. However, his eyes were fixed on Matthias. This time, he believed that he would definitely not be wrong. This was because he was too familiar with the magical wave that Matthias was emitting.
That magical wave that was like a whirlpool that continuously devoured everything was of the same lineage as the Ashen Warlock Roland. Thinking about the relationship between the Marathon Family and the Ashen Warlock, no matter how stupid Herza was, he should be able to guess why Matthias would have such terrifying strength in a short period of a month, and why he would have such a peculiar magical wave …
Without a doubt, Matthias must have received personal guidance from the Ashen Warlock under some kind of opportunity.
It was still hard to tell who would win and who would lose in this match …
After two months, the two of them stood face to face again. However, the current Matthias was no longer the rookie that could be trampled on at will. Even Lin Li had to treat this match seriously. Ever since Matthias walked onto the Aurora Square, Lin Li had already felt that the magical wave emitted by the opponent was extremely strange. It was like a whirlpool that was continuously devouring everything around it. Even the afternoon sunlight seemed to produce a strange distortion when it shone on Matthias' body …
"Don't worry, I won't kill you …" At the moment when he brushed past Lin Li, Matthias' eyes suddenly revealed a deep-rooted hatred. He lowered his voice and said, "I will only break your limbs, destroy your mental strength, and let you be a cripple forever, wailing in the lowest level of hell …"
"Is that so …" Lin Li touched his nose, and stared at Matthias for a long time. Then, he smiled and said, "That's a pity. I think I will most likely kill you …"
"Just you wait and see!" Matthias looked at the opponent fiercely, and shut his mouth very decisively. He knew that in terms of bickering, even if there were ten of him, he would not be a match for this mage from Jarrosus. But so what? In a battle between mages, strength would always speak. So what if he could blast out 60 Pyroblasts? How could that trash, Gryffindor, compare to my current strength?
The match had yet to start, and the Aurora Square was already filled with a hostile atmosphere. Perhaps only Lin Li himself knew that what he said just now was not to scare Matthias. In this match, he was determined to kill Matthias. The reason was too simple. The actions of the Marathon Family had far exceeded Lin Li's bottom line. Forget about attacking the Demon Fall Valley, they actually killed so many people in the Emerald Tower, and even burned the Emerald Tower!
To Lin Li, the Emerald Tower was just like a second home. He could tolerate anything, but he absolutely could not tolerate the fact that his second home had been burned down.
"It's time to settle the score …"
