Chapter 11: The Beast (2)
Returning from duty, update a chapter.
A clear, yet visible ripple spread out in all directions around Rhaegar, and none of these ripples could cancel out the strong current, but when the numerous ripples continued to impact like ocean waves, those terrible strong currents finally disappeared like a sponge absorbing the current.
This spell, called Energy Devouring Ripple, is the latest ninth-order magic that Rhaegar learned from Carson's notes, and its function is to absorb the energy of targets located within a certain range of the caster's vicinity and distribute it into the wider surrounding space in a balanced manner, as a dual-action magic, it can instantly turn the creatures around the caster into lifeless corpses, and can also be used to defend against attacks of pure energy nature like the current just now.
The Divine Destruction Beast finally realized that the seemingly small intruder in front of him was not as vulnerable as the guys he had encountered before, and the hidden giant beast finally appeared in shape, and after a burst of yellow light, a small mountain-like figure suddenly appeared in the originally empty clearing about three hundred meters away from Leiga.
With the lion's appearance, two long pointed horns, and a body covered in red scales, this giant beast was very similar in everything to the pet that Rhaegar was guarding the temple, except that it was twice its size, so it looked far more powerful and powerful than the latter.
However, Rhaegar is well aware that Ta'an can turn his own kind into ashes with just one breath - unlike most creatures, after reaching a certain age, the size of the Destruction Beasts will gradually shrink, and when they cross the most important level of their lives, these beasts will be able to change the size of their bodies, just like Ta'an. Although the giant beast in front of them looks terrifying, it is actually just a minor among the divine beasts, in order to avoid excessive energy consumption by the huge body, they have to stand still for most of the time, and use a special spell to assimilate themselves with the surrounding environment, waiting for the prey to send itself to the door, that kind of strong current is the most commonly used weapon of all the destruction beasts at this age, they use it to bombard the prey into the most primitive energy and absorb it.
This realization did not make Rhaegar relax, if he was still a god, this young beast was not even worthy to lick his toes, and now, the latter has become his most formidable opponent.
The giant beast slowly rose from the ground, its thick limbs gradually detached from the dirt below as its body rose - the beast had chosen to assimilate itself with the earth, and at this moment, in order to move freely, it had to recall every part of itself from the earth and reassemble it into shape.
The opponent's formation speed was significantly lower than Rhaegar expected, which showed that the opponent was far younger than he thought, and this was undoubtedly an opportunity for the geist. Quickly chanting a spell, Rhaegar summoned the Staff of Glory that had exceeded his current limit, and a huge flood of spiritual power poured into the scepter, triggering the magic stored inside the scepter in an instant.
A burst of red light shot out from the top of the scepter, and in an instant, it transformed into an overwhelming web that fell on the Destruction Beast as it broke free from the earth, and before the beast could react, the lightning net had already fallen on its body.
Mages have a variety of names for the wands they use: staff, scepter, scepter, scepter, etc., etc. However, no matter how the name changes, saving mana, increasing the casting speed, and storing a number of spells in it in case you need it, all wands do nothing more than these three things, and the Staff of Glory is no exception. If there is one difference between it and other wands, it is that among the nearly two hundred spells stored in this wand, the lowest one also requires a mage of the eighth order or higher to be able to trigger it with mana, and even with the mana that Rhaegar has now, he can fire no more than two spells per day.
In contrast to this extremely high usage requirements, the scepter contains the great power of magic, almost all the magic stored in the Staff of Glory comes from the temple high priests of the past generations, these believers who can directly use the power of the God of Judgment are even no less powerful than the demigods, the huge net that Rhaegar just cast is one of the most skilled spells of the last sacrifice before the fall of the gods, even if this destruction beast has been freed, even if its power is twice as strong as it is now, it is impossible to dodge such an attack.
The Divine Destruction Beast roared in a low voice, the thin web of light bound to its body had some kind of magical power, it seemed to be isolated in some independent space, it couldn't get any contact with the outside world at all, it couldn't even feel the body that was still scattered in the earth, which made it have to maintain a posture of limbs and legs that were partially connected to the earth, and then it was firmly fixed in place.
The yellow light reappeared on the body of the Destruction Divine Beast, accompanied by the yellow light was a majestic and irresistible force, this power was divided into countless strands, each strand was aimed at the part of the silk thread connected by the red light net, like a blade violently cutting these key parts that connected the light net.
The Behemoth's tactics were successful, and under the unrelenting impact, the light net began to loosen, and some places were gradually destroyed by the power from the Destruction Divine Beast, and it could already feel the parts scattered in the surrounding land, anxiously waiting to return to its body. In the blink of an eye, it can be fully formed, and at that point, neither the abominable web of light nor the little reptile that emits it will be a problem.
However, for Rhaegar the blink of an eye was enough. While the Beast of Destruction was busy gaining freedom, he had quietly broken away from his body and burrowed into the ground beneath his feet, and when the Beast finally broke through the confines of the light net and successfully reconnected one of the missing parts to its body, the geist had already entered the body of the Beast of Destruction with the returned part of its body. Long before the battle, Rhaegar had determined his strategy, the spell of the Staff of Glory was only a means of delaying time, and the only thing he could rely on in the face of a destructive beast was a surprise soul attack.
If the opponent is an adult beast like Ta'an, this strategy of the geist will not have any effect - the former has a will that matches his strong body and strength, and in its soul home, Rhaegar's only end is to be destroyed.
But now it's different. Although in terms of pure strength, the strength of this Destruction Divine Beast even surpassed that of a tenth-order archmage like Carson, as a minor, its mind was not stable enough, its spirit was still a little immature, and its will was not firm enough, which was an excellent target for this kind of attack specifically aimed at souls.
This is a violent world, the boundless sea is surging with monstrous waves, the wind is constantly whistling across the sea, deafening thunder and dazzling lightning appear one after another, the whole space is completely in turmoil, here, is the soul of the Destruction Beast. True to their name, violence and combat will always reign supreme in the minds of all Beasts of Destruction until they have grown to possess sufficient rational control instincts like Ta'an.
A translucent shadow flew lightly between the waves, the wind and lightning could not hinder him in any way, and Rhaegar walked through the soul of the Destroyer as if he were walking in his own garden—but if it were all that, he would never be able to do anything about the soul core of the Destruction Beast that had always been hidden in the depths of the Sea of Souls.
But just as Rhaegar had predicted in advance, it was a great shame that a juvenile, demonic beast manipulated by the desire to fight would not tolerate someone acting so swaggering in his own soul. With a roar of rage, an image identical to the image of the Divine Beast of Destruction in the real world flew out of the tyrannical sea of souls - unless intentionally manipulated, under the influence of the subconscious, each creature appeared in its own soul space as it was.
With the appearance of the Dominator, the turmoil in the soul space became more violent, and the wind carried the thunder and lightning, falling towards the intruder with a dense and suffocating momentum, and at the same time, countless thick columns of water suddenly appeared on the already rolling sea, and pounced on the air like a predatory python.
This terrifying attack did not intimidate Rhaeggar, in fact, for him, this seemingly ferocious but undisciplined attack was exactly what he wanted, pretending to be terrified, and the wandering spirit hid in panic under the overwhelming onslaught of his opponents, each time only narrowly avoiding the blows that were enough to destroy him.
Repeatedly being escaped by opponents angered the Destruction Divine Beast even more. As one of the most powerful races in the universe after the fall of the gods, even though it has not yet reached adulthood, the pride that comes from the depths of its blood still penetrates deep into its bone marrow, and it is undoubtedly unacceptable to be invaded by a small undead into its soul, and it is helpless against it. With a thunderous roar, the divine beast finally used all its strength, and the upper part of the entire space turned into a closed cauldron at this moment, and the sea of souls below became a stove that provided heat for the cauldron, and the surging soul power was continuously drawn out of it and thrown into the air.
The sea has returned to calm at some point, and the original continuous storms and thunder and lightning are gone, this soul space has never been so quiet since its birth, only Rhaegar in it can feel the danger: the space around him has been firmly sealed, he can't even move even half an inch of distance, and the invisible and irresistible force is used at him from all directions, and it is increasing every moment. This power has no characteristics, it is simply squeezing, but at this time this squeezing has become the most effective method, and with the increasing pressure, the geist finds that his body is deforming, and if the pressure continues to increase, it will not be long before his entire soul - and his body - will forever become the most basic particles under the pressure.
