Who would have thought that this battle, which was supposed to be without any suspense, would actually end in such a way that exceeded everyone's expectations …
Oh, no, not everyone. At least some of them believed that victory belonged to the young Master Felic from the beginning …
At the thought of that, the gamblers' faces turned sullen. Where did that bastard Sienna get the news? How did he know that Mage Felic would win? Damn it, he even won so thoroughly. A level-22 Legendary-mage was almost beaten into a lunatic by that freak …
The result of the bet was that Lin Li had defeated the elven Legendary-mage Vidas. Apart from winning the Helios' Scepter, he had also made a breakthrough during the battle, and experienced a drastic change in his abilities. He was undoubtedly the biggest winner. Apart from Lin Li, the other winner was naturally Sienna, who was grinning from ear to ear …
No one believed that Lin Li could win, so they all wanted to see Sienna make a fool of himself. Apart from those who dared not offend Sienna, the bets of tens of thousands of gold coins reached nearly 10,000,000 gold coins. Sienna had bet 500,000 gold coins, and even if the other party won, each of them would only get a few gold coins. However, now that he had won, he had pocketed nearly 10,000,000 gold coins from the other party. How could he not be happy?
After Sienna and the old gambler, Jefferson, settled the bet, he stepped into the square with a face full of joy, and strode towards Lin Li's side. He naturally did not dare to take the 10,000,000 gold coins without saying anything. Although he had made the bet himself, he still had to rely on the great Master Felic to win.
Those who had completely different feelings from Sienna were not only happy because they had been treated like fools by Sienna, but also because they had found out how powerful Mage Felic was. That Master Felic was the owner of the Tower of Dusk and the President of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic. Not long ago, they had been desperately trying to recruit pharmacists from the Tower of Dusk. If they had known earlier that the owner of the Tower of Dusk was a Legendary-mage, they would never have dared to poach pharmacists from the Tower of Dusk. Wouldn't that be courting death?
Some of them were already drenched in cold sweat, and were nervously wiping the sweat off their foreheads while secretly thanking their lucky stars. These people weren't kind people. Previously, when they saw a branch being sold for 15 million gold coins, they were waiting for the nouveau riche to leave the auction house before snatching the tree branch that was sold for such a high price. They thought that the nouveau riche was not only arrogant, but also an idiot who knew nothing. They thought that the security in Roland City could be compared to that of the royal city.
But now that he thought about this ridiculous idea, he realized that he was the f * cking idiot. If it weren't for the appearance of the elven Master Vidas, they would probably be dead by now. Was there anything crazier and more reckless than robbing of a Legendary-mage?
Although they were all powerful forces, they all knew that they were just a joke in front of a Legendary powerhouse. As long as the Legendary-mage moved his finger, the so-called powerful forces would be destroyed. Vidas was a terrifying existence that could destroy a city with a single blow. Just look at the Harvest Square now. The Harvest Square that had been passed down for thousands of years and the mageweath array that had been set up by generations of masters couldn't even withstand the destruction of the two freaks. After a battle, it became riddled with holes …
Only a Legendary-realm powerhouse could compete with a Legendary-realm powerhouse, especially one who had a Magical Domain. No matter how many people were below the Legendary-realm, they were just ants.
Besides, the owner of the Tower of Dusk was not only a powerful Legendary-mage, but he had also defeated another powerful Legendary-mage. However, he was only 20 years old. Although the people present had lost to Sienna, none of them who were qualified to participate in William's auction were fools. They were well aware of what a 20-year-old Legendary-mage meant.
Seeing that Sienna was walking towards the center of the square, the people standing at the side of the square looked at each other. Although they didn't communicate verbally, their gazes conveyed the same meaning. Since they had already made a mistake, what they had to do was not to escape, but to find a way to make up for it. Otherwise, their forces might disappear without a trace in the Breezy Plains. At the thought of the tragic outcome that they might face, almost everyone couldn't help but shiver. Then, they stepped onto the ground of the square at the same time.
"Crack!"
The smooth and clean Lapis Lazuli ground on the square had rarely been damaged after holding countless gladiatorial competitions over the years. However, at this moment, it was as if it was glass that had cracked. Cracks that looked like spider webs spread rapidly from the feet of the crowd to the entire square. Immediately afterwards, everyone felt that they had lost the strength in their legs, and their bodies couldn't help but sink. The solid foundation actually became a hole.
Before the crowd could react, the eighty-four stone pillars surrounding the plaza collapsed in all directions amidst a cloud of dust. The huge stone pillars smashed onto the ground with an earth-shattering sound, and stone chips flew everywhere, stirring up even more dust. The stone pillars that were closer to the spectator stands were smashed into smithereens.
In the blink of an eye, the Harvest Square, which had been fine just a moment ago, had completely changed. It was a mess inside and outside the square.
Everyone knew that Legendary-mages were very strong, and that their terrifying power was something that they couldn't resist at all. However, they didn't have a clear idea of exactly how strong they were. But now, they finally had a very deep understanding of how powerful Legendary-mages were.
It was easy to destroy a square, but the power needed to destroy a square with a powerful defensive mageweath was simply too terrifying. As the castellan of Roland City, Arathor knew the strength of the defensive mageweath of the Harvest Square better than anyone else. It was also because of this that the two of them had chosen this place for their duel. They were confident that the defensive mageweath here would definitely be able to withstand the destructive power of a Legendary-mage. However, it was obvious that the Harvest Square was in need of major repairs. Arathor stood in the pit and looked at the dilapidated scene around him, feeling like crying.
Lin Li wasn't surprised by the situation. Although the Nature Domain that Vidas used was known as the Magical Domain of the small world Laws, its foundation was based on the Earth Elemental Laws. Apart from using his own mana, Vidas had also manipulated the Earth Elemental Laws in this space when he activated the Nature Domain just now. Hence, it wasn't surprising that the square had been destroyed.
The sudden change caused many people to be covered in dust. However, Lin Li managed to use a small magic spell in time to protect Wilkinson and the others. Hence, there was only a round piece of ground under Lin Li's feet that wasn't affected. Lin Li stood there and spoke to Wilkinson and the others with a calm expression. He would occasionally respond to William's greetings, and no one could tell that he had just experienced a thrilling battle.
However, in Lin Li's heart, he had been recalling the terrifying Legendary-level battle just now. He was the only one who knew how difficult and dangerous the Legendary-level battle just now was. The elven Legendary-mage named Vidas was indeed worthy of being a descendant of the Helios Family. A level-22 Legendary-mage was definitely a peerless powerhouse who could stand at the top of the pyramid in Anril. Apart from those Legends that only existed in epics, this Legendary-mage from the elven race was almost invincible. Such a figure was not someone that ordinary people could afford to provoke. Even Lin Li, who was also a Legendary-mage, couldn't afford to provoke him …
Lin Li knew his own strength well, and that didn't conflict with his confidence. Although he used to be a Legendary-mage who was at the peak of level-20 and had three pieces of the debris of the stars, as well as a terrifying advantage of being proficient in all professions, he was actually inferior to Vidas. The disparity was not only reflected in the level, but also in all aspects, be it in terms of combat experience or understanding of the Laws. Even the mana that Lin Li was so proud of, which many people thought would never dry up, was clearly inferior to that of the Elven Legendary-mage.
It couldn't be helped. The elves were just so blessed. Apart from the High Elves who were known as the most perfect creatures in the world, the elves were probably the most blessed mages in this world. Their natural elemental affinity allowed them to accumulate mana at a speed that was unimaginable to humans. Even a newborn elf could easily pass the mage level certification. That was probably not inferior to the High Elves back then.
What made the humans even more envious was that the Elves were the beloved children of the Goddess of Nature, Monferra. They had an extremely long lifespan, and even if they only used one-tenth of their time to study magic, it was enough for them to become a terrifying existence. The only thing to be thankful for was that compared to the massive human population, the number of elves had always been small. Otherwise, they would have long dominated the entire Anril like the High Elves.
As a descendant of the famous Helios Family, the Legendary-mage Vidas of the elves was obviously a typical elf. His extremely long life brought him terrifying combat power. Coupled with the suppression of his level, Lin Li couldn't even lift his head during the battle just now.
