Chapter Seventy-Two: The Youngest in History?

【Azure Star Field】

This is an incomparably old and ancient word, which has never appeared in any magic-related books circulating on the mainland, and seems to have long been forgotten in the long river of history, unknown to future generations.

The powerful mages who had witnessed it had chosen to remain secretive, or to keep a few words in obscurity.

In the whole world today, there are only a few magicians who know this term, and it is extremely powerful.

And even when they reach the pinnacle of a certain magical field, they have to look up to the term and the owner who created it thousands of years ago---- with awe, fear, fear, or admiration.

Drakes is one of the very few people who knows this word and has seen the existence of the [Azure Star Field] with his own eyes.

The old man's palms trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but recall the picture many years ago, as well as the stunned and faint horror in his heart at that moment.

It seems exactly the same as that day...

One day a few decades ago, on the shore of the dreamlike Inmeng Lake, a duel broke out that attracted the attention of the entire Olympia City.

Both sides of the duel were recognized as top geniuses among the younger generation at the time.

Dressed in simple religious robes and with a solemn and holy expression, the young priest of the Temple of Light, who is recognized as the first day of the Church of Light, is the initiator of this duel.

The other is a female magician of the Royal Academy of Magic, cold and lonely, dressed in white, peerless, and said to be the most outstanding student in the history of the Royal Academy of Magic.

In the eyes of many, this is a battle of the century that represents the two major power systems of magic and magic, and you must know that magicians and magicians have been at odds with each other since ancient times.

Before the war, almost all the powerhouses in the imperial capital were generally optimistic about Innocent, not only because of Innocent's superb talent, but also based on a recognized common sense: after the high level, the magician can suppress most of the magicians of the same level.

So when the battle between the two sides was evenly matched, many people were amazed by the magical strength of the woman in white...

In the long and fierce battle, in the face of Innocent's endless powerful divine arts, the woman in white gradually fell into a bitter battle, but when she was about to decide the victory, she inadvertently activated the crystal pendant she carried with her, summoning the power of the stars contained in it.

Immediately, thousands of stars appeared in the void, intertwined into a brilliant and magnificent star dome, defeating the future Pope's crown, embarrassed, and finally Innocent knew that he would be defeated, and took the initiative to admit defeat.

On the day of the victory of the woman in white, the magicians present were naturally jubilant for their goddess.

The priests and bishops sent by the Holy See to watch the battle returned to the temple with blushing faces and dejected.

His Majesty the Pope later recalled in private, in a slightly self-deprecating tone, that from then on, until the day he left the City of Dawn, he could not last more than ten minutes in front of the woman in white.

A few years later, the woman in white, who had amazed the entire magical world of the Empire, left the academy and never appeared in Olympia again.

The white robe was like a meteor flashing in the night sky, leaving only a moment of brilliance, and then disappeared from the vision of countless people, along with this magnificent magic duel, gradually forgotten by the people of the time......

Years later, the Pope chose to bury the crystal pendant under the Lake of Imponence, perhaps not by coincidence, but to commemorate the thrilling and heart-wrenching battle of his youth.

But Drakes didn't forget it, and that scene has been deeply imprinted in his heart.

From that moment on, in his eyes, he faintly regarded the woman in white as the most terrible heresy, and buried hostility and fear deep in his heart.

As Innocent and the woman in white get closer and closer, Drexes also drifts farther and farther from his best friend back then, and eventually takes a different path.

It is also for this reason that when Drexes saw Constantine, an irrepressible hatred and murderous intent surged in his heart.

And now, this familiar scene happened again.

Drakes' eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly became fierce and shouted: "What if you awaken, you are not Faust himself after all, with this magic alone, even if you use the legendary [Azure Star Field], you will not be able to defeat the [Oracle Technique]. ”

Standing in the air, the presiding judge chanted a long holy text, and the huge wings of light flapped, sprinkling the glow of the torrential rain, and the waves of holy light tumbling under his feet rose higher and higher.

Constantine was unaware of the light pouring around him, and simply stood quietly, in a state similar to deep meditation, his fingers lightly touching the blue stars that surrounded him, as if he were enlightened.

In the depths of his consciousness, all the magical knowledge he had learned in his life, including a large number of magical spells, formulas, and logic, crumbled in his mind, turned into countless dust, and then quickly precipitated, reconstructed, and paved a ladder in his mind...

At the top of the staircase stands a gate called "Law".

Although the scenery behind the door is far away from him, from the moment he sees this door, his heart suddenly opens up, and the world in his eyes is different from before.

At the same time, the spiritual power surged up like a flood tide, breaking through the threshold of a high-level mage in an instant, and growing rapidly at an incredible speed, gradually moving closer to a higher rank.

The wind couldn't stop howling, the magic robe on his body fluttered slightly, and the unprecedented arcane power accumulated in Constantine's hands, condensing into a blue ball of energy light.

Compared to the Holy Light above his head, this magic power was still insignificant, but for the former boy, it was already a qualitative leap.

Staring at the bright and pleasing ball of magic light in his hand, a faint pride and joy welled up from Constantine's heart.

From this moment on, he has officially become a crown-level magician.

Looking at any corner of the human race, the caster of the crown rank is enough to be crowned with the honorific title of "archmage" and rank among the strongest in the world.

Just two years ago, he was just an ordinary monk who came out of the seminary, but now, he has quietly crossed the threshold of the crown rank that has been regarded by countless magicians throughout the ages.

The Crown Mage who is only eighteen years old, if this news spreads, I'm afraid it will shake the magic world of the entire continent, right?

In historical records, is there a peerless magical genius who became a crown mage before Constantine?

Of course there were, but Constantine was sure that the number would not exceed his own age.

And another fact that he was absolutely convinced of was that there would be no more than three figures like him who could grow from an apprentice to a crown mage in just two years.

And one of them must be his own ancestor, St. Faust, who founded the World Tree Council.

In a sense, he may be the youngest Crown Mage in history.

Would the gray-haired old men in the Wizards' Guild burn their beards with a shake of their hands when they learned of this fact?

However, Constantine was always a man of extreme calmness, and after a brief moment of joy, he quickly returned to his usual calm.

On the other hand, he is also familiarizing himself with the properties of the stars around him, trying to master their powers.

Dozens of stars jumped, shuttled, and flew in front of Constantine, resisting the onslaught of the Holy Radiance.

But what gave Constantine a headache was that they were like unruly elves, although they were summoned by him, they did not obey the command of his "master" at all, and went their own way, and if they were not careful, they would break away from Constantine's spiritual connection.

After a while, though, they would fly back on their own, appearing in Constantine's sea of consciousness projection.

Constantine was not discouraged, in his opinion, there must be traces behind the seemingly chaotic movement of these stars condensed by the energy from the depths of the star dome.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how St. Faust manipulated them to create an incomparably powerful magical realm--- [Azure Star Field].

He couldn't help but be fascinated by the projection he saw at the top of Paradise Mountain, Faust standing on the top of the mountains, controlling the thousands of stars and echoing the stars in the sky.

He also vaguely felt that in order to control the dozen or so stars in front of him, he had to find a way to find his own, and even take a different path from Faust.

After all, this is his own star field.

However, it is too late to take a closer look, because the most dangerous enemy is still overhead.

It's just that Constantine has nothing to fear.

When I looked up, the light in front of me was still dazzling, but it was no longer as dazzling as before.

The sharp eyes glanced at Drex, who was shrouded in divine light, and in the blue starry eyes, Drakes's figure was clearly reflected, and he quickly recognized that the divine technique blessed by the other party should be the legendary [Divine Blessing Flower].

It only took less than a few seconds for Constantine to instinctively adopt a strategy to deal with it, and after reaching the realm of the crown mage, many judgments became very intuitive and simple in battle.

A low chanting sound came from his mouth, and Constantine's fingers moved slowly in midair, outlining black lines.

Yes, it's black, it's no longer the blue it used to be.

The magic he is using now is not the modified [Energy Cutting] but the arcane --- [Dimensional Cutting] that Joey used in the sewers.

[Dimensional Cutting] is an epoch-making arcane crystallization summarized by the predecessors of the Arcanist of the World Tree Council after a large amount of data accumulation and spatial structure research, and has a terrifying power that can split space and ignore all defenses.

In the past, with Constantine's magical strength, it could only be used for a short time within five meters, and it would drain all mental power at once and fall into a weakened state where the magic dried up.

However, now that he was a true Crown Mage, with enough mental power and a basic cognitive model of spatial structure, many of the limitations no longer existed.

Black fissures squirmed slowly in the air, like lines drawn by a magical god with a paintbrush, devouring all the light around them, bringing everything into the shattered rift of time and space.

Constantine's face gradually turned pale, and his spiritual power was rapidly consumed, although he had prepared in advance, the amount of magic power required to perform the [Dimensional Cutting] was still a little beyond his calculations.

I'm afraid that it won't be until after the Grand Magus that he can truly control this spatial magic.

He was now like a young man who had just grown his bones, and he had to use all his strength to barely lift a giant two-handed sword that only an adult knight could skillfully use, and it was difficult to even lift it, let alone wield some peerless swordsmanship with this sword.

But it doesn't matter, for Constantine, who has walked in the sea of corpses and blood for several years and pursues the principles of pragmatism, as long as a giant sword is raised, it can be powerful, and it can be used to kill.

The space fragments created by the incantation swirled around the twinkling stars, stretching out into a towering island in the ocean of holy light.

With a wave of his hand, a dazzling cloud of light overflowed from the clouds, and a scorching glow descended from the sky, turning into a waterfall of light and blasting towards Constantine.

As the power of the divine magic increased, the originally calm sea of holy light suddenly surged, turning into an extremely dangerous storm ocean.

The light mixed with the holy flames, turned into an invincible storm, roaring, as if it was about to swallow the island that stood proudly in the ocean of holy light.

Constantine took a deep breath, knowing that the moment of life and death was coming, his arm jerked diagonally upward, and the black space fragments formed by the [Dimensional Cutting] all shot towards Drex.

Drex's eyebrows furrowed, a little surprised that Constantine's understanding of the laws of space had reached such a terrifying level.

Even a veteran Crown Arcanist might not be able to come up with a way to use space debris as a ranged weapon.

But surprise to surprise, Drexes was indifferent, as the Grand Inquisitor, he was incomparably more experienced in combat, and he had seen more dangerous, more powerful, and more cunning heresies than Constantine, and it took him the shortest time to make an extremely accurate judgment.

A dimensional rift of this magnitude would not be able to penetrate the barrier of [Divine Blessing Flower] at all.

So Drakes didn't even blink an eyelid, just glanced at it lightly.

Sure enough, after the few tiny black shards hit the light around Drex, they froze in the air, unable to move forward, like metal pieces embedded in a thick marble wall.

"What if you awaken the star field?" Drakes taunted the dying teenager in his eyes.

Suddenly, a star slowly passed through the storm of holy light and stuck to the [Divine Blessing Flower]'s guardian aura.

Then, the barrier of [Divine Blessing Flower] suddenly dimmed.

Drakes' pupils narrowed, and he realized his mistake.

His judgment was correct, Constantine had not yet reached the level of a magister, and the [Dimensional Cutting] was certainly powerful, but Constantine's magic power was insufficient, and his knowledge of space was still limited, so he couldn't hurt him.

However, he forgot that Constantine's [Dimensional Cutting] could not penetrate the Holy Light Wall of [Divine Blessing Flower], but the Blue Star Field, which was inherited from Faust, could do it.
