Chapter 334

When the white light appeared, Isendilan was already on guard . γ€€γ€€γ€€

When Holun appeared beneath him, Isendilan cursed, "d.a.m.n it, it is that Magician again!"

He was in dragon form and was a lot clumsier . It was too late to dodge the attack . He had to defend himself against the attack . γ€€

A light humming sound could be heard, and Isendilan's abdomen area was covered in a thin layer of crimson mist . The mist seemed extremely thin, though Holun's speed greatly decreased when he entered the range of the mist . He was at least ten times slower, inching his way forward . γ€€γ€€

Holun did not realize this as well . He stared at the target above him with a death stare . He felt as though he could reach him in the next moment . γ€€γ€€

"Ha, giant lizard, I will destroy you!" Holun chuckled .

However, in an instant, he realized that the giant lizard got incredibly fast . He was just at his top speed a few moments ago . How could he have teleported away from his attacking range?

"How is this possible? How can he be so fast?" Holun gasped . He could not understand this at all . γ€€

This is the power of Spatial Magic . The victim would usually not feel any peculiarities . From the victim's perspective, the other party was the peculiar one . Link was familiar with these techniques as well .

Just when Isendilan was about to escape from the attack, Link pointed his wand at Holun and shouted, "Restore!"γ€€γ€€

Mana surged into his wand, and an incredible aura surrounded Holun . Ripples appeared around his body . Fine arcs of lightning could be seen on the boundaries of these ripples .

These flashes of lightning were the by-product of the clash of Spatial Magic between Isendilan and Link . γ€€

From Holun's perspective, the giant lizard was just about to escape his attacking range when he seemed to receive the blessings of the G.o.ds, experiencing a sudden increase in speed . He then once again charged towards the giant lizard . γ€€

This was simply too strange . Even a dim-witted guy like Holun could feel the peculiarities, though he was too lazy to understand the theories behind it . He simply charged ahead!

"Hahaha, giant lizard, I am here again . "

Isendilan knew that Link was the one behind this . However, he had simply no time to deal with him when so many powerful individuals were on his heels . He merely cursed in his heart .

This Spatial spell had earned him some spellcasting time as well . A crimson brilliance once again appeared, enveloping his body in a casing of dense crystal . γ€€γ€€

This crystal structure looked slightly strange . Upon closer inspection, one could see red thorns hidden within the structure . γ€€γ€€

This was no longer a Level-9 spell . This was a legendary Defensive Spellβ€”Crimson Thorn Barrier .

Crimson Thorn

Level-10 Legendary Spell

Effect: Makes use of the power of the principles to construct a giant force field . This barrier can defend against all mortal spells and rebound 50% of the damage back to the attacker .

At that moment, Isendilan displayed his prowess as a Legendary individual . He constructed this barrier instantly . Link knew exactly what Isendilan was doing, though he did not have enough strength to prevent it from happening . He could only watch as Holun charged into the pit of fire .

The next moment, Holun's battle axe clashed right into the crimson crystal barrier . γ€€

A blinding brilliance emanated from the barrier, though it was not destroyed .

When a spell reached a Legendary level, it would have attained a qualitative change . No amount of attacks under the Legendary level would be able to go against it .

Holun gave a scream of pain before he flew back onto the ground . He even dropped his battle axe as he fell . His hands were drenched in blood as he gave an expression of excruciating pain .

"What kind of barrier is this . d.a.m.n it, it hurts!" Holun lay motionlessly on the ground, though his voice is still full of vigor . It seemed like he would live .

Isendilan would not let that happen . He lifted his leg and attempted to drive it down onto Holun .

He would definitely smash Holun simply by using the strength of the dragon form .

A white light enveloped Holun before his body disappeared . When Holun appeared once again, he had already returned to the shaman's side, together with his battle axe .

An old shaman then walked over immediately and plunged his human-faced totem staff into the ground, before dancing fanatically around it once again . Amidst his dance, green light ripples could be seen emerging and floating towards Holun .

Holun's wounds then recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye . γ€€γ€€

At the same time, the other four great shamans were not idling as well . They all plunged their staff into the ground and started dancing in unison .

Isendilan immediately bellowed with rage . Previously, his beloved Legendary Barrier was destroyed by the exact same peculiar dance . He would not fall for the same trick twice!γ€€γ€€

"Die!"

Isendilan completely let down his guard as he charged towards the great shamans . He then opened his mouth and released a dragon breath attack .

Each of the great shamans was already planning on sacrificing themselves . They continued to cast the Divine Spell and gave up on dodging or defending . γ€€

As the dragon breath attack was about to hit the great shamans, a blinding figure leaped from the ground . It was the Glorious Warlord, Avatar . γ€€

Avatar released his Battle Aura, causing his body to be enveloped in a dual gold and red colored brilliance . He then took the full blow of this dragon breath attack .

He could only withstand the pressure for a total of three seconds, though any delay would be good at that point . γ€€γ€€

"To think that an ant would block my way! How intriguing!"

With a loud bellow, another dragon breath attack was released . Avatar then leaped up once again as he prepared to block it once more . γ€€

He was prepared to die for this mission!

At that moment, translucent ripples appeared on the trajectory of the dragon breath attack . It was originally extremely concentrated and powerful, though each time it pa.s.sed through a ripple, the intensity of the flames slowly dissipated . By the time it pa.s.sed through the fifth ripple . The dragon breath attack merely had the offensive power of normal flames .

One second later, when the flames pa.s.sed through Avatar's body, he merely felt a slight warm sensation . It did not deplete much of his Battle Aura .

Isendilan knew exactly who was behind this . He turned towards Link and said, "Magician, have you had enough?"

Link had not only hindered him but also toyed with him a few times, causing him to end up in such an embarra.s.sing state . Isendilan hated Link to the point of no return .

However, Isendilan still had not lost his mind . He knew that the greatest threat on the battlefield were still the shamans who were dancing like a bunch of monkeys . He had to destroy them . γ€€γ€€

"Theron, Olisa . . . d.a.m.n it!" Isendilan wanted his underlings to deal with Link . That was when he realized that both of them were getting toyed around by Nana . They could not afford to help him .

That was to say, no one could restrain Link . γ€€

Isendilan's rage had reached a boiling point . He gritted his teeth as he stared at Link and said, "I don't believe that you can block my Legendary spell! Principle: Disintegration

Principle: Disintegration

Level-11 Legendary Spell

Effect: Condense s.p.a.ce into an unimaginable state before expanding them rapidly to cause an explosion . They will appear in high intensity and frequency throughout a 900 feet radius .

(Note: Mortals, run for your life)

Isendilan opened his mouth, and a spatial sphere appeared from his mouth . When the spatial sphere first appeared, it was the only one on the battlefield . However, as it hovered in the air, it began to split into two, before becoming four, eight and filling the atmosphere with countless small spatial spheres . γ€€γ€€

Explosion sounds then appeared consecutively, as though an endless thunder was rolling across the sky . γ€€

Avatar was the first victim . He was. .h.i.t by a spatial sphere only the size of a fist . However, after the explosion, this Level-9 Warlord was blown away . He then landed in a distant spot 600 feet away . Although he did not suffer many injuries, he was completely in a daze .

That was not all . The spatial spheres then gave chase . It seemed like they were not stopping until he was dead .

There was no way he could defend against that . γ€€

"Have we failed?" Avatar stared at the Legendary dragon from a distance as a sense of despair rose in his heart . This dragon is simply too intimidating . They were not his match .

The spatial spheres continued to expand and were about to reach Link .

Link was already preparing a countermeasure when Isendilan was casting this spell . γ€€

He was so focused that everything in his field of vision seemed to slow down . He then quickly thought, Purchase Legendary spell!

The Legendary spells available for purchase flashed through Link's mind . Link quickly chose a Level-11 Legendary spell, Miracle Aura . γ€€γ€€

Miracle Aura

Level-11 Legendary Defensive Spell .

Mana Cost: 17300 Mana Points

Effect: Creates an incredible aura that extends for a radius of 1200 feet . Allies who possessed this aura would be temporarily invincible and unaffected by almost all attacks .

(Note: This is simply a miracle!)γ€€γ€€

Link had set his sights on this spell a long time ago .

Link had 250 Omni Points and could purchase this Legendary spell with ease . This was also the only Legendary spell that he could afford to use with his current Maximum Mana . The other Level-11 Offensive-type spells had a Mana Cost of above 20000 . It would be pointless even if he bought it . Link still had 13500 Mana Points left . He then used the remaining 140 Omni Points on his Maximum Mana and drank a perfect Mana Recovery Potion without hesitation, recovering 2000 of his Mana Points . Coupled with the Clear Thoughts effect of the Flame Controller's Robe, his Mana Points reached 18000, while his Maximum Mana was 18500 .

This was just enough to cast the Miracle Aura spell .

When the Disintegration spell arrived, a light blue aura enveloped Link . The moment this aura appeared, it extended to cover the entire area within a 1200 feet radius .

In this area, the knights, Felina, Nana, the great shamans, Holun, and Avatar were enveloped in a thin layer of a Legendary barrier . γ€€γ€€

The next instant, the Disintegration spell reached the peak of its destructiveness .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A rumbling sound similar to thunder rang across the area . The area within the effect of the spell was utterly destroyed . Dirt splattered everywhere as many fissures opened up on the ground . However, when this destructive force came into contact with the blue aura, it was surprisingly unable to penetrate through its defenses . γ€€γ€€

Isendilan's prided Legendary spell was completely shut down by a human and amounted to nothing .

This was terrifying!

"How can this be?" everyone gasped . At that moment, all enemies and foes stared at Link with a bewildered expression on their face .

"Legendary spell? Have you ascended to that level?" Isendilan stared at Link with widened eyes and retreated subconsciously . γ€€γ€€

Link still maintained a calm demeanor . He only had 700 Mana Points left, and his Miracle Aura spell was almost destroyed by the Principle: Disintegration spell .

However, it would turn out fine . The great shamans had completed their channeling of the Divine Skill .

"Wrath of The Wild!"γ€€γ€€

A shaman stared at Isendilan as he spread his arms wide open, shouting the four words with pride . A rainbow-colored light beam then appeared from the center of his chest, hitting Isendilan straight on the chest . γ€€γ€€

Crack!

The Crimson Thorn Barrier surrounding Isendilan was completely shattered . He was unable to maintain his balance in mid-air anymore . Furthermore, the Divine Skill seemed to be circling around him and restrict his powers . γ€€γ€€

The Crimson Thorn Barrier had also reflected half of the strength of the Divine Skill back to the shaman . The shaman then looked as if he was pushed by an intangible force before he turned into a mist of blood .

"Die!" Holun hollered . He had already recovered from his injuries, and he rushed forward . γ€€γ€€

The Glorious Warlord also took a deep breath before he charged towards Isendilan . He knew that this would be their last chance to kill Isendilan .

Link then a.s.sisted the two of them once more . γ€€γ€€

A series of light flashed at the tip of his wand . A few spatial spheres then appeared on the trajectory of the two Warlords . Both Holun and Avatar seemed to be traveling faster than ever, the distance between Isendilan and the two of them shortening each time they pa.s.sed through a spatial sphere . γ€€γ€€

They were originally 300 feet away from Isendilan . However, after the effect of these spatial spheres, they covered this distance in less than a tenth of a second .

This was simply too fast . Isendilan had no time to react . He had not even recovered from the impact of the Divine Skill . γ€€

He had nowhere to run .

Holun swung his axe with full force and released all his Battle Aura . He struck at Isendilan's neck, causing a deep wound that extended to the midpoint of his throat . γ€€γ€€

Boom! Avatar, on the other hand, went straight for the heart . He used his War Hammer to strike mercilessly at the heart .

Isendilan's body then jerked slightly and began to trip over his own steps . He looked as if he was drunk .

"Die! Die! Die!"γ€€

Holun continued attack Isendilan as though he felt no fatigue . However, these blows were nowhere as powerful as his first one . It merely worsened the injury by a bit . γ€€

Avatar was already lying on the ground . He had given it his all in that last blow . He could not even move his fingers now .

If Isendilan was still not dead, he would be out of options .

Isendilan's pupils began to lose their s.h.i.+ne as he stumbled . His consciousness was fading away . However, after a moment, golden threads began to appear on his body . γ€€

He was planning on reviving himself!γ€€γ€€γ€€

"Nana!" Link shouted .

Nana was in the middle of a fight against Olisa . Upon hearing the command, she disappeared in an instant . The next moment, she was already beside Isendilan with the Breakpoint Dagger in her hand . She then started severing the golden threads mercilessly .

As the golden threads lost their s.h.i.+ne, Isendilan also slowly lost his hopes of being revived . γ€€γ€€

It did not take long for Nana to finish severing the threads . Isendilan then collapsed on the ground as he breathed his last .

He was dead .

The Legendary Red Dragon Duke who could fight on the same level as the Red Dragon Queen was dead .

Theron, Olisa, and Felina immediately stopped fighting as they stared at Isendilan's fallen body . It was as though a mountain had just collapsed .

The legend of a dragon was over .

But the legend of a human was just beginning .
