Chapter 13: The Death of the Legend (Part I)

What is this feeling......

A light flashed in Richard's mind. He seems to have read about it in a book. Since he had not been able to learn spells before this, he usually read "idle books" in the library, such as history and naturalism, and had a certain understanding of the history of the Mayan world and wizards, as well as the secrets that have been passed down for a long time.

There is a rare symptom that is very similar to the current situation, and that is "drunkenness".

Not long ago, a certain wizard at the bottom of the magic tower once gave him a bottle of living energy potion that could promote the fit of the magic net, but he refused. The reason for this is that although this potion can be used as a meditation aid for wizards who have reached the official rank and above, it is harmful if it is taken by an apprentice.

Too strong a drug can cause nerve damage, just like a drunk who drinks too much - this is "drunkenness", which is caused by the abnormal phenomenon caused by the body's magic essence being too strong and unable to be dissolved and digested, and in more severe cases, it will also produce undesirable symptoms such as knife-like pain, the burning sensation of being roasted by fire, and the cold feeling of being in an ice cave.

However, this is a condition that only occurs when powerful potions are taken internally; And now he has a similar phenomenon just by exposing his skin to the environment. This only says ......

Richard looked into the center of the hall.

This shows that the current level of magic in the air has reached an unimaginable level.

The nature of the magic element is one of the world's unsolved puzzles for thousands of years. Some people believe that it is an invisible energy, while others believe that magic is an extremely small elemental particle with the same nature and shape. In any case, the formless and insubstantial, but pervasive in every inch of the world, is the first impression given by the magic element.

At this moment, Richard witnessed a spectacle that most wizards would never have seen in their lifetimes: the magic element, which was originally invisible to the naked eye, showed a tendency to materialize in this hall.

Because of the accumulation of ultra-high concentrations, an intermediate state of semi-solid and half-liquid like paste is formed. The atmosphere is gradually distorting, like a tornado in the depths of the sea, and the huge attraction makes the magic elements over the entire magic tower be swept in, forming a whirlpool under the dome of the tall building.

The intermediate state exudes a dense light, which looks light and fluttering, but there is a terrible sense of heaviness. The light floated in the air like tiny feathers, and Rasputin was no longer visible.

At the same time, hundreds of chains appeared around the circle on the ground that was as dazzling as the sun, locking the mist in the center of the hall and preventing it from spreading outward. The chains are constantly eroded and broken, and they are constantly reborn.

Richard was a little stunned. I think this is the function of that large-scale ritual spell, in order to imprison this space and prevent the huge amount of magic that has been attracted from leaking out and affecting the outside world.

The sea of spirits that had been summoned by Rasputin to maintain the rituals had completely disappeared at this time. I don't know if he was sent to the spirit realm, or if he was torn to pieces by the magic storm.

But even with the barrier of the large ritual circle arranged by the legendary wizard, the aftermath of this power alone is still affecting the environment outside the circle. At this time, he even began to congratulate himself on his blunt physique. If he was a higher-ranking wizard and couldn't use protective spells to block the effects, he would have fainted a long time ago.

The ground shook like a landslide. The entire hall ...... No, it's the entire Imperial Valley Temple that is shaking! Presumably, at this time, the people on the top floor of the entire Demon Tower were all alarmed.

But the legendary wizard who was the initiator apparently didn't care about that.

Just as Richard was about to faint from the pain, Raspuchin's laughter was heard in the center of the circle.

It was a smug laughter, a laugh that the somber and indifferent wizard leader who lived in seclusion could only show that his plan had succeeded—

With a shake in his mind, the apprentice followed his instincts and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, the dazzling and dazzling light in the hall accumulated to the extreme. Even through the eyelids, you can see the brightness of day, and a hot stinging sensation comes from the retina. And in the next instant, the light converges towards the center.

Ignoring his tearful and aching pupils, Richard opened his eyes and saw Rasputin standing in the center. His posture was exactly the same as before the ritual of "summoning the demon god" began, still holding a staff in one hand and a demon book in the other. Is it all over? Did he succeed?

Richard noticed that Rasputin was protected by the translucent silhouette of a giant whose head was on top of a twenty-meter dome, legs thicker than the columns that supported the hall, and incredibly large.

Although this giant was a type of "spirit", it was obviously not comparable to the ordinary spirits that had seen one person tall before. Could this be the Legendary Order Spirit who signed a contract with Rasputchin?

As he watched with bated breath, the wizard leader let go of his staff and let it fall to the ground, his free hand to his mouth, and he bit it open, blood running down from the wound. Then he slowly stretched his bleeding palm towards the Demon Dao Book—

At this moment, an unpredictable situation appeared: a black light shot out from the Demon Dao Book, and the protection of the giant's spirit body was easily pierced as if it did not exist, and dozens of lights flashed on Raspuchin's body at the same time, but each light was pierced by the black light before it could be completely lit up, and it was extinguished and scattered.

In less than a breath, black light shot straight through one side of the wizard's body, pierced through his chest, flew out from the other end, and nailed to the wall behind Raspuchin.

Raspuchin stiffened in place. His hand was still outstretched, less than half an inch away from the Demon Dao Book, but this tiny half inch seemed to be close to the end of the world, and it could no longer be touched. The black light pierced his chest, leaving a hollow, and the heart inside was missing.

His face was filled with disbelief and consternation. He desperately opened his mouth wide, as if trying to say his last words, but in the end he didn't say anything, and fell back silently.

……

After about five minutes, Richard staggered over to the legendary wizard lying on the ground.

Rasputchin's face was frozen with strong reluctance and regret. The apprentice stretched out his slightly trembling fingers, put them under Rasputin's nose, and quickly came to the final conclusion:

Novich Rasputin, legendary wizard of the psychic realm, member of Steppenwolf, one of the wizarding leaders of the Magic Tower, died here.
