Chapter 254: The Might of Magic (Please Subscribe!)
As a low shout echoed within the cavern, the dim, ink-black space was illuminated brightly.
Izay slowly lifted the “lock” in his hand.
The surrounding glowing magic circles reacted in a chain to his movement, significantly speeding up the construction of rock constructs.
In the center of this cavern, an area once untouched by anything, gradually formed a radiant golden “origin point.”
The “origin point,” composed of rock element fragments, soon turned into a “sphere.”
It then began expanding, stretching, and enlarging at a visible speed!
“Crack… Crack…!”
The sounds of rocks breaking and reforming continuously resonated, along with the howls of monsters echoing through the space.
After being touched by the dark golden rock fragments, it seemed as though the physical laws followed by them lost their effect. Like they had escaped gravity’s pull, they started floating helplessly.
Then, under the resonance of the rocks, they gathered in one direction.
A massive dark golden rock star appeared out of nowhere within the cavern!
And countless dark golden particles continued to gather towards the rock star!
Those newly evolved worm monsters, extra sensitive to magical power, were attached with rock fragments as they crawled toward Izay, then carried into the air, becoming powerless parts of the rock star.
Finn, Gress, and the others, who were originally at a numerically overwhelming disadvantage and battling the tide of monsters, stopped their actions and stared in amazement at the giant rock star formed in a short period.
“Wasteland Rising Star”
· Within the range of magic, consume magical power to create countless rock element fragments and make them resonate, quickly gathering towards the same “point” until forming a rock star
· Enemies touched by rock element fragments will be forcibly controlled by the resonance between the fragments, encapsulated inside the rock star as part of its seal
· Prerequisite skill, releasing “Blazing like the Sun” can detonate the rock star
With both these magics activated, Izay estimated that the lethality of this set of skills would be enough to severely wound a potential Ability Value Lv.7 existence.
But the consumption was also terrifying!
Especially now, the magic range covered the size of a square cavern hundreds of meters long on each side!
While maintaining the “Wasteland Rising Star” at the current cost, if Izay were to release “Blazing like the Sun,” the magical power he has left would probably drop to zero?
At that time, he might even fall into a state of “mental fatigue.”
However, there was no need for him to do that.
Wouldn’t doing so make him and his teammates seem really dumb!?
Beside him, the elven girl had already prepared her magic opening move – “Elven Ring.”
The circle of magical halos hovering around her was proof enough.
Then, after finishing the initial incantation, she shifted the magic spell and connected the chants.
Crimson magical array patterns appeared, enhancing the light.
“—Soon, flames shall be unleashed.”
“Unavoidable destruction brought by the creeping fires of war. The battle cry rings loud, enveloping all the chaos of war.”
“Come forth, O crimson flame, merciless fire. Thou art the embodiment of inferno.”
“Sweep away thousands of armies, bringing the curtain down on great wars!”
Refia didn’t have any thoughts of conserving magical power or preparing for later matters like Izay did during such times.
The young girl poured all her magical power into this single spell, immense magical energy casting red clouds around her.
Taking advantage of Izay binding all enemies, she raised her pure white staff {Forest Tear}, aiming the top magical gemstone at the rock star in the sky, unleashing a roaring surge of magical power.
“Burn everything, Sword of Surtr—My name is Alf!”
Thus, the magic chant was completed.
Starting from Refia’s position, crimson magical light rapidly spread out.
Like irregular patterns produced when glass shatters, the magical light approached the position directly below the rock star, quietly bringing the flames of destruction.
“I have a premonition that no matter how we dodge, we’ll still get caught in the aftermath of this move!”
“Coincidentally, me too!”
“Idiot Amazon, you’re thinking about joking around at a time like this!? Find cover!!”
“Ais, retreat to Izay!”
“Okay!”
Now, the enormous rock star floating in mid-air was like a supermassive dangerous bomb, emanating terrifying energy that no one would want to taste.
And the magic Refia had prepared was the fuse that would ignite this bomb, about to be lit!
Instantly, Bert, Gress, Tiona, Tione, and Raul began hastily searching for cover within the cavern, trying to at least block some of the impending explosion’s impact.
Finn and Ais were more intelligent; they hid behind Izay, the safest place.
The next moment, Refia loudly proclaimed the final name of the magic:
“—Advanced: Sword of Victory!!”
“!!!”
A colossal pillar of flames erupted.
Like the destructive arrival of a dormant volcano eruption, countless flames shot out from the ground and crimson patterns.
The flames surged toward the rock star, almost enveloping it into a giant fireball.
After a while, it seemed to have reached a certain critical point.
—Daylight arrived.
It wasn’t the sun rising; there wouldn’t be a sun in the ultra-deep underground region.
Instead, the brilliant star illuminated the entire square-shaped cavern.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!”
Golden light mixed with crimson flames swept through every corner of the cavern.
The powerful force shook the stable stone walls, making them wobble precariously. But the falling wall pieces were instantly annihilated by the terrifying energy, leaving not even a speck of dust.
Black rhinos, deformed spiders, half-goats…and those worm monsters were all swallowed whole by the explosion, their cries of agony drowned out.
However, after the explosion occurred, Gress and the others who had found cover and prepared for the shockwave revealed expressions of surprise.
Because the expected aftermath didn’t come.
The golden energy dissipated around them instantly, constructing a Rock Elemental Shield, signaling that they were “allies.”
The intense energy fluctuations had no effect on them whatsoever.
Upon realizing this, the lingering emotion was astonishment.
Such a magnificent spectacle of magic, even with their first-tier adventurer experience, they had never seen before.
This was a “miracle” capable of changing the course of battle, and also a “calamity”-like greatness.
The vast space was flattened entirely.
By the time the magic settled down, it was already several minutes later.
“Just one shot cleared everything! One shot, yeah! Izay and Refia’s teamwork is amazing—such spectacular magic!!”
“W-well, actually it’s all thanks to Izay’s magic… Such powerful energy destroying monsters naturally comes easily, I just used all my mental strength to detonate the bomb, so… um…”
“No need to be modest, Refia is strong too ya know!”
“Too extravagant, my hair stood on end, it was shocking man!”
“Hahaha, watching such a big magic was truly exhilarating!”
Stepping on the completely leveled ground of the cavern, Tiona, Gress, and the others snapped out of the awe inspired by the magic and began approaching their companions.
