Mage Veigar

Chapter 916 Finale
It was Swinburne Raphael who spoke.

This Dark Night Being, who had lived for more than 1,500 years, revealed his true face for the first time.

Scarlet eyes, white fangs, devilish wings. Although he is neither a professional nor a magician, he is a powerful being that can rival a magician.

Legend has it that the Dark Night Race are descendants of gods.

Although they did not inherit the power of gods to destroy the world, they did inherit one characteristic of gods - immortality.

No one knows how long they can live, no one knows how they were born, even they themselves know nothing about it. Fortunately, their numbers are extremely small, and currently only Swinburne is known to be one.

In front of Xia.

Swinburne tore open the scroll Carroll had given him.

A saint-level barrier instantly spread out, enveloping Xia.

The moment the transparent barrier enveloped Xia, she turned pale, because she felt that her contractual connection with Vega had been severed. Now, even if Vega died, she would not be able to sense it.

"What on earth is this?"

Xia tried to break through the barrier and released magic to attack it, but all failed.

"Your Majesty, please don't waste your energy."

Swinburne smiled elegantly and said, "This barrier is of Saint level and lasts for twelve hours. During this period, even if you are a Saint, you will not be able to break through the barrier, let alone a Star Level Mage."

"Why on earth would you do this?"

Xia calmed down: "It seems useless to tie me up here, right? Or are you sure you can kill me here? With this barrier covering me, I can't attack you, and you can't attack me either."

"This barrier is only to cut off the connection between you and His Majesty Vega."

Swinburne said helplessly: "Our allies require us to ensure your safety, otherwise they will not cooperate with us. For this reason, we have tried every means to find your coordinates and then tie you up here."

"Incidentally."

Swinburne reminded him, “You’d better cancel the contract with His Majesty Vega as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the barrier disappears, I’m afraid you will die immediately... You probably don’t want to die either.”

Understood.

Totally got it.

Xia finally realized that Carol was behind all this.

Use the barrier to cut off the contractual connection between her and Vega, so that Vega can be killed. After killing Vega, come here to persuade her to cancel the contract. When seeing Vega's body and realizing that the situation is hopeless, how can ordinary people insist on canceling the contract quickly?

"You underestimate me."

Xia smiled bitterly: "Everyone's life will eventually come to an end, and most people don't understand the purpose of living. For me, the meaning of living is for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty disappears from this world, then there will be no meaning in continuing to live."

The elements are roaring.

The terrifying star magic exploded, but the barrier remained intact.

This thin transparent wall seemed to plunge Xia into endless despair.

“Why do you have to work so hard?”

Swinburne shook his head and said, "Obviously no one can defeat the Divine Mage, not even Vega Saint Laurent."

"You not only underestimated me, but also underestimated His Majesty."

Xia suddenly laughed and said, "In this world, no one can kill your majesty. You who sit on the top of the pyramid don't understand that for people who walk on the edge of death, this kind of thing is already commonplace."

"Just watch. I will be here, waiting for your majesty's triumphant return."

Words of absolute confidence came out of Shia's mouth.

Just as Xia said, Vega is indeed accustomed to this kind of thing.

From worthless to now.

God knows how many times he has been in a situation where he was doomed to die.

In the repeated games with the god of death, he survived before and he will survive this time too.

The moment the contract disappeared, Veigar raised the Infinity Blade.

At this time, Carol also launched an attack on Vega.

This attack was different from the previous ones. It was a one-hit kill. Carol obviously intended to end the battle quickly and kill Vega here.

The attack was successful.

Because of the trickery performed by the Divine Mage, Vega was unable to clearly determine the direction with his ability.

When Carol delivered this blow.

Vega could feel the murderous intent coming from all directions. This firstly made it impossible for Vega, a god-level professional, to predict and counterattack perfectly, because if he couldn't detect it, it meant there were no flaws, and if there were no flaws, he couldn't counterattack.

Second.

The truly terrifying thing about the trickery performed by the Divine Mage is the continuous stealth state.

For a long time, even a Saint-level shadow mage would reveal his true form at the last moment of attacking the enemy.

But now you can see it.

The Divine Shadow Mage has absolutely no such weakness.

They are so stealthy that they don't even reveal their true forms when launching attacks.

With their magic recovery speed, they can do it even if they continue the trickery for their entire lives.

A shadow mage of this level can be completely called a transparent person, or one who is above the world.

If one adds to this their immortal bodies, Shadow Mages are worthy of being called the strongest branch of magic in 1v1 situations. They are simply the natural nemesis of Elemental Mages. Once Elemental Mages are targeted by them, they have almost no chance to resist.

And this... is just a divine mage who doesn't know any divine magic.

Faced with such an existence, Vega's shadow magic was immediately consumed.

Once it happens, there will be a second time.

Unable to track down Carol, Vega's Shadow Transformation was consumed five times in succession without launching a single attack. Now it seems that he has no skills to save his life?
Can't escape.

Can't even beat him.

The life-saving magic has also been used up.

Vega seemed to be forced into a desperate situation.

Carol revealed her body at this time and said in a mocking tone: "Finally...finally this moment has come, Vega Saint Laurent, I won this time! I finally won! Hahaha!"

"Carol, you can't beat me."

Vega smiled brightly: "You don't understand at all. What kind of resolution do I have for this battle? You don't even have the resolution to win or die. How can you defeat someone like me?"

"Don't you understand yet?"

Veigar’s voice became somewhat disdainful. “The reason you have never been able to defeat me is not because you are not as strong as me, but because you have never faced every battle with the determination to die. When you think you are stronger than me, you are arrogant, but after you lose, you kneel down and beg for mercy, begging for mercy from your opponent, and handing the power of life and death to me, your enemy.”

"What a joke!"

"In this world, we are the only ones who can decide life and death. Even God cannot control our lives. If God wants to control my life, I will have no choice but to pick up the sword and fight back."

"If you don't even have this kind of awareness, are you qualified to win?"

“Persistence after repeated failures may be admirable.”

Veigar's tone turned cold: "But persistence alone is not enough. Perseverance and persistence only sharpen the blade in your hand. You only have a sharp blade, but you have never fought this battle with the determination to die."

Veigar made a final statement: "Your sword cannot kill me."

"Well, I'll kill you then."

Carol was furious and disappeared in front of Vega again, then stabbed Vega's heart with a sword.

This is the last sword.

Carol knew very well that as long as this sword pierced Vega's heart, victory would belong to him.

Why should we be determined to die in such a simple battle?
Moreover, only a fool would fight a battle that involves the risk of death; the best strategy is to stay away from it.

But what Carol didn't know was.

Some battles are destined. You can't avoid them just because you don't want to.

The sword finally pierced Vega's heart, but failed to kill him.

The effect of the shadow appeared again, and this was the sixth time it took effect...

“How, how is this possible?!”

Carol's face was full of disbelief.

If he remembered correctly, Vega's shadow could only withstand five fatal blows at most. This was what his teacher Okasos Saint Laurent told him, and it was absolutely correct.

"I told you, you can't kill me."

Veigar's words were full of confidence.

Because before Vega said this, an atmosphere of despair filled the world.

At that moment, the situation changed - "This breath is... Divine magic."

The King of the Free Alliance, Strachey Fuggton, sat dejectedly on the ground, watching the divine magic sweeping over.

In the war on the west coast of the dynasty, he escaped due to his foresight, so he did not truly witness the power of divine magic. But this time he had no way to escape, and the horror of divine magic appeared before his eyes.

But he was not afraid, instead he smiled.

"I would rather be the ruler of a fallen country than a minister of another country."

"I am the king. I always have been, I am now, and I will always be."

"For eternity, history books will record not Stratage Ferguson, the minister of Galan, but——"

"The King of the Western Free Alliance, Stretch Fuggton!"

Stretch Fuggton raised his head and faced this "wind of destruction" with pride.

The name of the divine elemental magic is 'World Destruction'.

This magic was sealed in the body of the elder sister, Leia Anistra.

When the army was at its wits' end and was about to be defeated by the Titans, and no one was able to stand up.

Rhea Anistora stepped forward.

"I'm afraid of being alone. I don't want to be forgotten, nor do I want to be excluded from the three."

"I have always wanted to do something for your majesty and the Jialan Empire, but I don't have the same talent as my sister."

"Am I still qualified to protect my sister like this?"

"People without talent can do nothing?"

"I don't think so. Everyone must have something special about them. Even if I am a useless person like me, as long as I risk my life, I will still be remembered by you, right?"

"finally……"

“No need to worry about drifting away from ‘you’ until you are forgotten.”

Leia said this, and finally activated the divine magic on her body at this most critical moment.

The wind of destruction is sweeping in.

Faced with the magic that destroys the world, no one can escape, not even the Titans.

At a speed visible to the naked eye.

The 500,000-strong army in front of them, including the Titans, slowly turned into ashes.

The wind of destruction is blowing head-on, and the clarion call for counterattack has already sounded.

Hausmann was appointed to take over the overall command and command the entire army from the rear.

He has given his all for a comfortable life in the second half of his life.

Her younger sister, Elena Anistora, served as the commander on the front line, using her outstanding military talent to command the war on the front line.

With concerted efforts and unity, the chaotic situation was stabilized in an instant.

At the moment when the counterattack horn sounded.

This is also the time for Vega to strike back.

The gradual destruction of an army of more than 500,000 and the battlefield on the other side of the city-state of Gangti provided Vega with a constant supply of magic and mental power, which immediately filled the gap in magic and mental power consumed by the use of shadow magic.

"Leia, I finally broke my promise."

Vega looked into the distance. If Leia hadn't sacrificed herself to gain a lot of mental power, Vega would not have survived Carol's next sword. Because there was almost no mental power input on the battlefield of Gangti City, Vega had a lot of magic power, but not enough mental power to maintain the shadow magic.

It was because of Leia's divine magic that the half million-strong army was slowly destroyed.

Some of the special types of soldiers transformed into mental power, instantly replenishing Vega's mental power.

Although the amount of mental power was not enough for Vega to break through to the godhood in a short time, it allowed Vega to not worry about the lack of mental power in a short period of time. As for the magic power, it was already overflowing. At this moment, Vega relied on the special magic of Shadow Transformation to force himself to have the immortal physique of a god-level mage.

So as Vega said, Carol can't kill him.

As time goes by, when this annihilation wind destroys the entire phalanx of more than 50 people, Vega will eventually become a god. The moment Leia activated the magic of the godhood, Vega was already invincible.

Leia saved the war, and saved him too.

Before this, Vega had never thought that it would be the insignificant Leia who would stand up at this time.

"Impossible! There's no way I can't kill you."

Carol, who didn't understand what was going on, acted like a madman, launching fatal attacks on Vega again and again.

But Veigar's Shadow was activated again and again, just like the immortality of the God-level Shadow Mage, and not even a hair was knocked off. Instead, Carol herself was confused and lost her original confidence.

When Carol swung his sword for the twentieth time to deliver a fatal blow to Vega, a crisp sound suddenly echoed.

Vega's blade accurately blocked Carol's attack.

"How can it be?!"

Carol couldn't believe that Vega actually caught his attack. Was it a coincidence or was he prepared?

"I have seen through everything about you."

Veigar's disdainful words echoed: "You launched a total of 3 attacks, 9 from the front, 8 from the back, 0 from the right, and from the left. So next time, your attack will be... from the back!"

boom!
As Vega finished speaking, there was a crisp sound, and it was obvious that Vega had caught Carol's attack again.

Predicted it.

Once again, it was predicted.

Carol suddenly recalled the battle in Water City Nila. He was obviously stronger than Vega, but in the end he had to flee in panic. Now the same scene was happening again. Was he going to run away again?

"No! It's just a coincidence!"

As if to comfort herself, Carol launched another attack.

"This time it's the left side."

This time the attack was blocked again. Vega said sarcastically: "Are you influenced by my words and attacking the left? I'm sorry, my words are just to confuse you. By the way, I guess your next attack will be from the front."

"Ah, it's really positive, and it's really obedient."

"Next time, just attack to the right. I will leave the defense on the right side open."

"I'm sorry, I lied to you."

"..."

The battle became a complete cat-and-mouse game.

The invisible and shadowless god-level shadow mage became a joke in front of Veigar.

Carol was unable to force Vega to use Shadow Magic again, and Carol himself was ready to escape.

"Are you planning to run away again?"

Veigar's words became even more disdainful: "Unilateral escape will not solve the problem, because there will always be a day when you can't escape, such as... today."

The words fell.

A black light echoed in Vega's eyes, and dark elements from all directions gathered madly.

The wind of destruction finally died down.

As this wind of destruction died down, at this moment——

Vega Saint Laurent ascends to godhood.

At this moment, Vega's strength is equal to Carol's.

No.

To be precise, as Vega ascended to the throne of godhood, Carol fell from the throne at the same time, and his faith was no longer sufficient.

“Let go…”

Carol hurriedly tried to utter the last word, but Vega's blade had already pierced his throat.

Blood gushed out and the vocal cords could no longer make any sound.

Just as Vega said, if you don't treat every battle with the determination to win or die, and think about running away when you can't win, then no matter how strong you are, there will come a time when you can't escape.

It's either victory or death.

He did not die in this battle, so he won.

Vaigar had indeed won. He had won the battle, the war, and the world.

Now that the galan has been taken, can we obtain peace and comfort?
The early summer breeze blew across my face, finally seeming to blow away the thick smell of gunpowder in the air.

The Infinity Blade in Veigar's hand shattered.
