For Rorschach, spellcasting was a project with a fixed procedure. It was an exceptionally stable job.
Constructing the spell model, choosing the appropriate mana composition, filling it with mana, stabilizing the spell model's framework, and releasing it after everything was finalized. Then, the mana would guide the elements to complete the rest of the work, just like the water bullet spell from before.
However, some spells were slightly different.
They were far too complicated, too detailed, and too difficult to describe with simple formulas.
Rather than calling it a special type of spell that had a certain effect, just the complicated spell model alone was like an entire world.
To use a simple analogy, the water bullet spell and fireball spell models were blueprints with parameters drawn on them. Meanwhile, the special spells were like an entire house, or an entire world. If one carefully thought about it, they would discover that every single wall was made up of complex parameters.
Compared to a two-dimensional map, the amount of information needed to project a three-dimensional world was incomparably enormous. It also surpassed the so-called top-level ninth-circle spells.
From the very start, such a spell had surpassed Rorschach's understanding … which was why it wasn't something that he had researched.
This spell was something that Rorschach obtained from the Book of Ten Thousand Spells by imitating natural calamities when he was stuck at the threshold of learning magic due to his talent of honesty and thirsted for more power.
In the end, it was a spell that already existed in the Book of Ten Thousand Spells. This God Equipment was also a special spell that was tailor-made for Rorschach. In fact, it was even a treasure left behind by a previous user of the Book of Ten Thousand Spells. It was no longer reliable.
This spell was suitable for Rorschach's power system and ability limitations. However, it far surpassed the limits of the spells that Rorschach was capable of creating.
Rorschach only knew that this spell was very suitable for him. And … this spell was explosively powerful!
"Leviathan, devour everything in front of you!"
The Book of Undead had already revealed its true form. A projection of a world slowly materialized. It was a continent that was currently sinking into the ocean.
Leviathan was the beast of the flood in myths and legends. It was the main culprit behind the sinking of an entire continent into the ocean.
This was a mythical beast that didn't exist in reality. At least, it didn't exist in the Aishi world. Only in the mythical stories of Earth's Christianity did it have the title of the Demon King, and it was given the shiny title of "Envy", one of the seven original sins.
This wasn't the first time Rorschach had used this forbidden spell, but it was completely different from before.
Last time, this world had only projected a shallow beach that had been attacked by a flood. The whale bones and lush flowers served as a bright contrast, and also gave life hope to reincarnate and rise again.
But this time, according to the spellcasting procedure, Ariel was dragged into the spellcasting system, and the mana pool of the Red Lotus image was forcefully drained … That's right, three separate individuals were dragged into the spellcasting system.
At this moment, the forbidden bell suddenly rang. Rorschach and Ariel simultaneously understood the long true name of this spell.
"Gray Revelation – The Promised Beast of Envy – Leviathan."
When civilization broke all taboos, when all life was beyond redemption, the boundless Great Flood would descend, and what would appear with the peak of the flood would be the Illusory Behemoth formed from countless vengeful souls.
Leviathan's gigantic body resembled a dragon, a whale, a kun, and a snake. If one looked closely, one would be able to see that this was a gigantic beast formed from countless howling vengeful souls.
These souls were the sins of civilization's birth and development. They were the hatred of all the undead that died because of their hatred for the world. When the living lost their balance with the hatred of the dead, this gigantic soul beast that represented the hatred of the dead towards the living would bring about a new cycle of reincarnation.
"… I've messed up."
At this moment, Rorschach finally realized that the situation was bad. This was the first time that he had ever used a mage's magic armor to cast such a Legend-ranked forbidden spell. He seemed to have unknowingly released something far too frightening.
Previously, when Rorschach cast this spell, the projected world had only been ruins after the flood. He hadn't even been able to see Leviathan's true shadow. That was because at that time, Rorschach had still been far too weak.
Right now, this three-in-one Rorschach team had the magical support of a mage tower. With the support of Ariel's Dragon Bloodline and an endless amount of magical support, the mages' power level far surpassed that of an ordinary level seven mage. Moreover, they were level seven mages with unlimited magical power.
That meant that Rorschach had met the true requirements for casting this forbidden spell …
When the illusory beast became real, it would be the end of the apocalypse. Civilization would welcome its final day, and the promised flood would take everything away.
This spell probably wouldn't be enough to destroy an entire civilization, but it would be more than enough to bite off a piece of the continent.
As Rorschach's first "successful (complete)" spell, he finally understood the principle behind this spell. He also understood why the previous spell's ending was "Leviathan, devour this sinful continent". The complete version of Leviathan of Revelation was a forbidden spell used to destroy a continent's continental shelf and destroy an entire civilization.
The illusory beast that existed between existence and non-existence had already faintly appeared in the Book of Ten Thousand Spells.
Rorschach's black ring, which he used to collect souls, had used a special method to devour thousands of souls. However, this also caused this beast to become even more realistic.
If you looked at it from the sky, the situation would be even worse.
Above the speedboat, an illusory beast that was several thousand meters long was gradually becoming real. Isabella, who wasn't far away, discovered that her magic armor had suddenly locked up. Even though her magic armor's power system had been shut down, she was still floating in midair, unable to move up or down.
No, it wasn't just her. With the speedboat as the center, the entire world within a radius of several dozen kilometers had fallen into a strange standstill.
The wind stopped, the waves stopped, and even the ocean currents that would forever flow stopped at this moment, as if they were stagnant water in a lake.
Two pirate ships that were closest to the speedboat had also stopped. No matter how the pirates on the ships tried to drive the engines or paddle, the ships wouldn't move at all. As for the passengers on the ships, if anyone had a slightly better intuition, they would all be panicking.
This was especially so for Captain Valentine, the pirate leader who had risked his life for them. His face was pale and his body was weak. He could already see the God of Death smiling at him.
In the face of life and death, two black-clothed individuals didn't say anything as they threw away their disguises. One of them instantly transformed into a blue dragon, while the other black-armored knight jumped onto the dragon's back.
And then … no matter how the dragon flapped its wings, it was unable to leave the deck.
The gigantic and majestic dragon was just like a comical yellow duck that kept flapping its wings. It was unable to fly no matter how hard it tried.
However, the others didn't have the time to laugh at him. Most of the Seafolk army that was closer to the speedboat were also locked in place by the sudden standstill seawater. The mages and priests among them tried to cast spells to escape, but after a long time, they discovered that they were unable to summon any elements at all. It was as if they had lost the right to be mages.
"Forbidden spell! This is a high-level forbidden spell! It steals the sovereignty of all elements! This is the forbidden spell's Dead Magic Zone! We're finished, we're all finished! "
The experienced mages screamed out in despair. Despair spread throughout the army. Even the strictest Seafolk military commander didn't have the time to manage the morale of his subordinates.
The only one who could still barely move in this Dead Magic Zone was the shadow under the sea that was furthest away.
It struggled and howled in pain as it used brute force to tear apart its own flesh and blood that had been locked in place. It struggled to dive deeper into the sea.
But even if it risked its life, that slow path of survival couldn't compare to the swimming of an ordinary human.
"Someone help me! No matter what, stop this thing! "
The berserk mental power's cries for help gave everyone on the small boat a headache. Then, they discovered that the one who was calling for help was the mage Rorschach himself.
Currently, Rorschach's appearance wasn't good at all.
His eyes were bloodshot. Two streaks of blood dripped down from his eye sockets. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and he was on the verge of collapse.
As Rorschach's substitute, the mage Ariel, was in an even worse state.
She had been forcefully matured into an adult, but she was curled up like a cooked shrimp. Her entire body was red and twitching.
Judging from her unfocused eyes and the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, the Dragon Bloodline Mage, who had lost his consciousness, had become a part of this spell.
"Everyone is fine! Stop us! "
Rorschach knew that as long as the spell was cast successfully, not only would he die, but there would also be no survivors on this small boat at the core.
However, Rorschach's mental power roar didn't receive any response. In front of a god-level forbidden spell created by a Divine Artifact, even a fifth-grade mage was no different from an ordinary person in this Dead Magic Zone.
In fact, the elemental power in their bodies would become the chains that locked them up.
Seeing that the Leviathan was getting closer and closer to reality, Rorschach had already fallen into despair. Suddenly, a small figure jumped onto the casting platform of the magic armor.
In the next instant, a blade flashed. Rorschach felt a sharp pain in his arm. At the same time, he left the casting crystal and cut off his connection with the system.
And without the mage, the Leviathan in the air could only let out a furious roar. Then, it turned into a shadow and returned to the illusion … But before that, it waved its tail.
Yes, it was like a tsundere venting its dissatisfaction by waving its tail slightly.
