These 20 Death Knights that were spawned from the Gloomy Dark could be said to be the elites of the elites. The weakest among them was at least level-16, while the strongest had even reached level-18. When they rode on the Shapeshifters and charged forward, a black Combat Energy immediately filled the air. From afar, it looked like a black torrent of steel …
And blocking the front of this torrent of steel was a young mage in a black robe. His frail figure seemed even smaller and weaker in front of this torrent of steel.
The distance between both parties was getting closer and closer. The Death Knights had already raised their sharp swords, and a white icy fog surrounded the Sword Sage. The black Combat Energy was like balls of burning flames. The Shapeshifters neighed, and the clattering of the horses' hooves seemed to be knocking on everyone's hearts.
At this moment, time seemed to have frozen. Even the air seemed to be filled with a suffocating smell. Everyone's heart tightened. Be it Adelo, Johnathan, Norfeller, or Rina, everyone in the advance party had their eyes on that frail figure at the same time.
From 100 meters to 10 meters, it was just the blink of an eye …
The burning Combat Energy filled the sky, and at a glance, it was like a dark cloud that covered the sky. At this moment, even that frail figure seemed to be a little blurry. They could only faintly see that he was slowly raising the magic staff in his hands. That faint yellow light seemed dim and weak in the black fog, just like an oil lamp swaying in a storm.
The speed of the Shapeshifters' charge was faster than lightning. The black torrent was like the mouth of a giant beast that had opened, and that frail figure was swallowed almost instantly.
"It's over …" Adelo's eyes were filled with despair. There was no more suspense. This group of Death Knights was too powerful. Among them, there was even one that had the chance to become a Retribution Knight. When they urged the Shapeshifters to charge at the same time, they were almost invincible. No matter how powerful an Archmage was, he would not be able to withstand their full blow.
Only a Legendary-mage could go against them.
That's right, this young mage who was exuding a mysterious aura was indeed very powerful. Adelo even felt that among all the young mages he had seen, Felic was the strongest after Hutton.
However, no matter how powerful he was, he was only an Archmage …
What a pity...
At this moment, there was a hint of pity in Adelo's eyes.
"You're just unlucky …" Adelo sighed. He reached into his pocket with one hand, and held onto the scroll that he had prepared …
But at this moment …
Suddenly, a speck of light shone from the black mist.
At the start, the light was rather dim, but Adelo soon felt that the light was getting brighter and brighter. In the end, it was as dazzling as the sun in the sky.
"This … This is …" Adelo's expression froze, and his mouth could not be closed. His eyes were filled with disbelief. "This is … This is the Eternal Light Spell!"
The legendary level-21 spell, Eternal Light!
When that speck of light shone, Adelo had thought that it was a powerful piece of magical equipment, and that it was a spell of mutual destruction. However, Adelo had never thought that it would be the level-21 Sacred Light Spell …
Once a mage broke through level-20, they would enter a mysterious realm. This realm was known as the Legendary-realm, and every mage who could step into the Legendary-realm was an extremely powerful existence. Their stories had already become true legends. In Anril, there were many legends about Legendary-mages. Among them, the most famous were undoubtedly the few mages from the Dark Age, the few mages who had personally brought down the Sky Castles.
Geresco, Apophis, Hesselink …
One after another, these names shone brightly in the history of Anril.
As the disciple of a Legendary-mage, Adelo knew better than anyone else how terrifying a mage's power would be once he stepped into the Legendary-realm. Compared to an Archmage, it was a completely different kind of power. Until now, Adelo still remembered the bandit group that was ranked top five in the Breezy Plains 10 years ago …
At that time, this bandit group had many powerhouses above level-15. There were mages and Warriors among them, and their leader was even a level-18 Archmage. However, when they had a conflict with the Malfa Family, his mentor Cheyenne had almost instantly destroyed this bandit group that was ranked top five in the Breezy Plains. He only used 10 spells from start to finish, and killed 10 of the core members, including the leader. Then, the entire bandit group collapsed in an instant, allowing the Malfa Family to open up a trade route to the Dwarf Kingdom …
This was the power of a Legendary-mage …
When he was young, Adelo had yearned for this kind of power. During that period of time, he had almost crazily studied magic, and studied all the knowledge that could be researched. This situation continued until Adelo was 40 years old. After that, Adelo finally gave up on his dream. He could not help but admit dejectedly that he had only achieved the peak of a level-19 Archmage in his entire life. As for the Legendary-realm that was above that, he was afraid that he would never be able to touch it …
Only geniuses like Mentor Cheyenne and Hutton could step into the Legendary-realm.
There were many people in Anril who were known as genius mages, but in Adelo's heart, only Hutton was worthy of this title. Adelo could be said to have seen Hutton's progress with his own eyes. He had come into contact with magic at the age of eight, and reached the realm of a level-18 Archmage in less than 20 years. Adelo had seen every improvement that Hutton had made. Other than being envious, he was also somewhat jealous.
In Adelo's eyes, Hutton was the kind of person who was born for magic. As long as it was related to magic, there was nothing that could stump him. No matter how profound the magical theory was, no matter how complicated the spellcasting technique was, as long as it was in Hutton's hands, it would be easily solved. Even his mentor, who was known for being strict, could not help but smile approvingly when facing Hutton.
But today …
Adelo had no choice but to add the name "Felic" to the list of genius mages …
From the time the advance party had set off until now, after battle after battle and shock after shock, Adelo could not help but admit that this Felic's talent in magic was definitely not inferior to Hutton's …
Adelo had never dreamt that he would actually see a level-21 magic spell with his own eyes.
God, this was a power that even Mentor Cheyenne did not have …
Although it was very likely that this power did not belong to him, and he most likely had the help of some powerful magical equipment or some mysterious ritual to be able to temporarily cast such a terrifying spell. This was because a level-21 spell did not require three minutes to recite.
But so what?
This was a real level-21 spell, and no matter what method he used, he had cast it. Could it be that in a battle of life and death, one could still criticize the other party because of this? Brother, it's not right for you to cast magic like this. You've broken the rules!
Wasn't this bullsh * t …
Furthermore, as the disciple of a Legendary-mage, Adelo was clearer than anyone else about the difference between Legendary-realm magic and ordinary magic. Once magic reached this level, it was no longer a matter of having enough mana. Most of the time, Legendary-realm magic relied on the understanding and control of the Rules. Only with a sufficiently deep understanding and control of the Rules of Magic could one use those magic that only existed in legends.
No matter how powerful a mage was, as long as his understanding and control of the Rules was not deep enough, he would still not be able to cast Legendary-realm magic, and would still not be a real Legendary-mage.
This could be said the other way round. If a mage's understanding and control of the Rules was deep enough, then he would become a Legendary-mage sooner or later. All he needed was enough accumulation. When all the conditions were ripe, the Legendary-realm would become an unlocked door, and with a gentle push, he would be able to enter the world that every mage dreamed of.
Without a doubt, this Felic belonged to the latter …
Regardless of whether he had the help of some powerful magical equipment or some mysterious ritual, the incantations were all chanted by his mouth, and the elemental structure was arranged by his mental strength. This meant that his understanding and control of the Rules had long reached the Legendary-realm, and it was only a matter of time before he became a Legendary-mage.
Furthermore, he was even younger than Hutton. He was only in his twenties …
Perhaps in a few years' time, another Legendary-mage would appear in the Breezy Plains, a Legendary-mage who was so young that it would shock everyone …
"Eh …" Just as Adelo's mind was filled with countless thoughts, that dark fog had been dispelled by the light, and the entire world seemed to have become clean. Even the sky seemed to have become much brighter. The Undead creatures that the Tide of Death had summoned and the dozens of remaining Vampires were like snow under the sun, evaporating in an instant under the Eternal Light.
However, those 20 Death Knights were still unscathed.
All of this made Adelo's face reveal a hint of shock.
Even a Lich could not resist the level-21 Eternal Light Spell, so how could it not destroy those 20 Death Knights?
At this moment, not only Adelo, but even Norfeller, Ujfalusi, Rina, and the rest could not help but be stunned. Could it be that these 20 Death Knights were so powerful that even such a terrifying magical power could not destroy them?
This strange scene caused everyone's hearts to involuntarily hang in suspense again after they had calmed down.
