I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 537 You're such a good person (Second update)
Peng!!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Nabasu did not flap its wings, but was lifted into the air by some unknown force.

A surge of energy suddenly erupted from Nabasu's body, as if something was breaking through his shell.

The shockwave shot straight into the sky, piercing through the heavy, oppressive yellow clouds and revealing a rust-colored sky.

Within a ten-meter radius of it, the air seemed to ignite, whipping up a crimson whirlwind of flames that spun and leaped in the air as if cheering.

"Roar!"

Nabasu cried out in pain as his skin, which had just turned bright red, began to rapidly carbonize and turn black, forming a hard carbonized layer on his body.

And those flames then disappeared into Nabasu's body.

Beneath the cracks in the carbonized skin, flames, like magma, flickered faintly, and the blood crystal on his chest, which was originally somewhat irregular, had become a complete octahedron!
On its forehead, three scarlet compound eyes have grown!

Nabasu's skull extended upwards, and the two horns, which were originally shaped like a goat, began to twist and deform, gradually forming a spiral-shaped bone crown!
Just as the bone crown was about to completely close, the changes in Nabasu's body stopped.

"Lord-level! Just a little bit more! I'll reach Lord-level!!!"

Nabasu let out a roar that was a mixture of joy and anger.

To my delight, after more than two hundred years of spiritual accumulation, I am about to break through to the Lord level just as I came of age!

This is the greatest achievement in the history of the Nabasu people!
Nabasu typically reaches adulthood after absorbing the spirituality of 18-30 people.

Because the material world is too painful and dangerous, they generally choose to contact the lord and be summoned back to the abyss once the conditions are met.

Most Nabasus can only be considered mid-level demons after reaching adulthood. Even if their strength increases further during their nearly thousand-year lifespan after adulthood, they can only reach the edge of high-level demons at most.

The legendary figure of the Nabasu race, Saertukwar, is said to have survived a direct confrontation with a corrupt Abyss Duke in the Second Era, yet he only reached level 14.

Lord-level beings are those who have already entered the highest combat power of the abyss, and are great demons exceeding level 17!
From level 14 to level 17, it may seem like there's only a difference of 3 levels, but it's undoubtedly a world of difference.

A level 17 Greater Demon, in a sense, already possesses the conditions for "immortality".

Adam Meyers didn't know exactly how immortality was achieved; he only knew it was a legend known to all creatures in the abyss.

Legend has it that demons who reach the lord level will face a test at the end of their lives if they die a natural death. Lords who pass this test will be granted the right to return to the "original state" and obtain true "immortality".

The “Primordial” is said to be the deepest part of the endless abyss, yet no one has ever set foot there.

But everyone knows that the abyss has no end, so how could there be a bottom?

As for himself, because he was unable to open the dimensional portal to return, he was stranded on Earth for more than two hundred years. With Adams' help, he devoured the spirituality of countless ordinary humans. Only after returning to the Abyss did he successfully advance to a level 16 high-level demon!

Furthermore, he could feel that he was just a hair's breadth away from successfully advancing to the Lord level and becoming the first Lord-level Nabasu in the history of the Abyss!

To reach level 17, you only need one high-level hunt or one large-scale spiritual sacrifice.

Nabasu tilted his head slightly, his eyes, burning with green flames, sweeping over the figure standing in front of the star gate.

As luck would have it, there's a mid-level mage right here.

I used to think this mage was ruthless and reckless, completely unlike a mage from Lorraine, even more like a chaotic faction mage than those from the Shadow Plane. But now it seems that this mage is still Lorraine at heart.

Adam Meyers turned his head, his two vertical pupils burning with green flames staring intently at Fang Yu, his mouth stretched wide to his cheeks as he occasionally spat out sparks with his breath.

Nabasu's mouth revealed a ferocious smile as his several rows of sharp teeth gleamed coldly.

"Master, I never expected that you would open a dimensional portal for me, allowing me to reach adulthood smoothly at the end of my life."

"You are such a kind person."

A cunning and cruel glint flashed in Nabasu's eyes, like licking his lips before chewing his prey.

"I'd love to do a freestyle to sing your praises of nobility and kindness."

Fang Yu floated in mid-air with his arms crossed, a half-smile on his face: "Oh? Sing a song for me? As far as I know, your songs seem to be written by other people? Who was the most recent ghostwriter? Draco?"

Adam Meyers choked for a moment, then suddenly remembered his experience on Earth.

That damned material plane, every day I'm there feels like I'm surrounded by maggots... Well, no, being surrounded by maggots is pretty cool.

The air there was like acidic holy water, and the light was like a knife that tore at the soul.

For the past 250 years, I have been constantly enduring the rejection of my existence by that world.

I'd rather be nailed to the Iron Castle by Lord Pazuzu than go back to that place!
No, that kind of place... must be destroyed!
To completely erase it, so that no Nabasus can ever again step onto that path leading to "lord"!

"Hahahahahaha." Nabasu let out a deep, sharp laugh that sounded like scraping the bottom of a pot, just like the old woman in A Chinese Ghost Story.

"Don't worry, Master, this time I will definitely write a song for you myself."

"After all, this is your... elegy!!!"

Nabasu flapped his wings on his back, and a ring of flames surged from his body, creating a shockwave like an explosion. Adam Meyers himself, with one foot on the ground, hid behind the flames and pounced on Fang Yu with unparalleled speed.

It was so fast that it even created a sonic boom!

"Foolish arcane mage! Die!"

A flaming spear instantly appeared in Adam Meyers' hand, its tip spinning like a drill, and three small compound eyes on his forehead gleaming with a dark red light, emanating from them.

And the newly formed octahedral blood crystal on its chest shot out a red beam of light as thick as a bowl!
This time, Nabasu learned from his previous mistakes and immediately used the three killer moves he had mastered since adulthood!
Burning Spirit Spear, Visual Dispersion Technique, Disintegration Technique!

These three innate spells sound ordinary, but their actual power is enormous.

The Burning Spirit Spear appears to be a physical attack, but in reality, it has both physical and mental attack effects.

The target struck by the Spirit-Burning Spear will suffer spiritual pain and damage as if their soul were being burned away.

Visual Disturbance is a pure mental attack, a control spell. Even a high-level mage will be momentarily stunned if hit by this spell.

The Disintegration spell is the original version of the "Disintegration" spell that can only be learned by level 11 mages!
