Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Lin Lan took out the Elixir of Time and fed one-third of it to Little Dragon Girl.

"The Liquid of Time?" Mo Fan learned about this liquid through Lingling, but he did not know its effects.

Liquid of Time... Time...

Could drinking this stuff somehow help you evolve?

That shouldn't be the case, since Lin Lan's cultivation level hasn't broken through to the Super Rank, which would limit Xiao Long Ji's cultivation.

……

……

On the watchtower of Royal Felipe Castle, General Mott's boots clattered dully on the mottled stone bricks. His hawk-like gaze pierced through the mist, fixed on the distant, overwhelming shadow.

"It's been seventy-two hours." The female staff officer in the black military uniform unconsciously scratched her tactical board with her fingernails. "Why haven't these beasts dispersed yet?"

Ostom stroked the sword at his waist, its bronze scabbard glistening with morning dew: "Perhaps they are still alive."

"Ridiculous!" The female staff officer whirled around, the hem of her uniform tracing a sharp arc. "A mage in his early twenties against the entire Nazca tribe? Do you think they're forbidden spellcasters?"

The bronze scabbard suddenly hummed, and Osto's pupils contracted slightly: "You forgot that among them is a rather outstanding lightning mage, the one named Lin Lan in the report..."

“Enough.” General Mott slammed his sword down heavily, the copper ring at the end of the scabbard sparking against the stone bricks. “Even a high-level mage can only become a sacrifice in the territory of Death.”

The sea breeze suddenly turned violent, causing the general's cloak to flutter wildly. He gazed at the distant, lightning-streaked sea cliffs and said, "Once the barrier shatters, even that castle will become their snack."

The cliffside castle trembled in the thunderstorm, every granite slab groaning in agony. The golden barrier, like a fragile soap bubble, rippled with deathly weakness as it was battered by countless wings.

"Is that all?" A strong wind blew, and Mu Tingying's fingernails dug deep into the stone pillar, her knuckles turning white.

The most brilliant moment of her life had just begun, yet she was to die here inexplicably. In fact, others felt this sentiment even more strongly. They were all the pride of the nation, representing their country in a dazzling magical competition, but they were forced to hide here by a flock of strange birds. If the barrier broke, they would be devoured alive.

"After the barrier shatters, let's split up and escape," Ai Jiangtu suggested, meaning that whoever survives is worth it.

Perhaps these strange birds weren't really interested in some of the group, but everyone knew that was just wishful thinking. The army of strange birds numbered nearly 10, and no matter how they scattered and tried to escape, they would just be enveloped by their feathers and claws.

No matter how strong you are, you can't escape it. If a super-level mage comes, you'll perish.

"Is there a way?" Zhao Manyan asked, his voice trembling slightly, as he looked at the little dragon girl who was absorbing some kind of liquid.

Lin Lan and Mo Fan must have a plan if they're together; this liquid must be very useful.

"It all depends on Xiaolongji," Mo Fan said.

Lin Lan just explained to Mo Fan that the Liquid of Time is indeed a good thing. If Little Dragon Girl could briefly enter the mature stage, the problem would naturally be solved.

Lin Lan didn't look up. His palm was pressed against the little dragon princess's burning forehead, the contract mark radiating heat. The glass bottle of the Elixir of Time rolled to the ground, refracting seven-colored light spots.

“Ling~~~~~~~~~~” Little Dragon Princess’s voice suddenly became ethereal.

Without warning, the divine thunder of the Nine Provinces erupted, lightning shooting into the sky and exploding into dazzling thunderclouds in the dome.

Amidst the golden lightning, a slender figure stretched out. As her silken robes billowed, porcelain-white toes were revealed. "What is that?"

"What's wrong with Xiaolongji?" Jiang Shaoxu, Nan Jue, and the others looked over in surprise.

Lin Lan didn't speak, but he was quite excited. Dragon Queen, the only Thunder Ruler in the world!
"This...this is..." The members of the National Team were stunned.

As the last wisp of lightning faded, the figure hovering in the air made everyone hold their breath.

She was an empress made of pure lightning element, with the tips of her hair flowing with the sacred glow of lightning, and her eyes...

"The complete form of the Thunder Elemental Holy Spirit?" Jiang Yu was stunned.

As a summoning mage, it never imagined that Lin Lan's contracted creature would be so powerful.

"As expected, the effect of the Time Elixir is to accelerate time dramatically, allowing life to grow rapidly in a short period of time!" Mo Fan said with a mix of surprise and envy.

If only Little Flame Princess could have some too...

At that moment, the barrier shattered with a deafening roar. The cries of a hundred thousand strange birds transformed into a wave of death.

"Mmm~~~~~~~!!!"

The Dragon Queen's voice was still as beautiful as ever, but it had become noticeably deeper and more authoritative. It was a complete departure from her previous energetic and dignified demeanor; now, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Go ahead and take care of those problems," Lin Lan said.

The Dragon Queen nodded, and with a snap of her fingers, the entire sea cliff was instantly enveloped in a field of lightning. The flock of strange birds at the forefront vaporized, leaving not even ashes behind.

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Golden lightning, like a world-destroying thunder lotus, burst open above the ancient castle. The magnificent thunder lotus was over three hundred meters in diameter, dyeing the entire sky golden, as if even space itself was being ionized by this extreme lightning!

With a flick of her wrist, the Dragon Queen caused the Destruction Lightning Lotus to explode amidst the flock of birds. Thousands of strange birds didn't even have time to utter a cry before they were instantly reduced to ashes, leaving only a few iridescent crest feathers drifting in the heatwave.

"Holy crap, he wiped out thousands with a single wave of his hand!!!" Jiang Yu's eyes widened, his jaw almost dropping to the ground. This wasn't magic; it was clearly divine punishment from the gods!

What's even more shocking is that this devastating blow was delivered so casually.

The Dragon Queen simply waved her jade hand gracefully, and the world-destroying thunder lotus appeared out of thin air. The flock of strange birds that had once blotted out the sky was now largely wiped out.

"Mmm~~~~~~~~~~!!"

Suddenly, a clear, resonant cry echoed through the heavens. The Dragon Queen withdrew her lightning and instead unleashed her spatial powers. In an instant, the gravity field of the entire airspace was completely rewritten!

The strange birds that were still struggling suddenly seemed to be pulled back, their frantic flapping wings becoming incredibly heavy. They crashed down on the jagged rocks below like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"Bang bang bang—"

The muffled thuds of flesh crashing against sharp rocks echoed endlessly. But this was not the end. The Dragon Queen parted her lips slightly and exhaled a wisp of seemingly gentle lightning energy.

The moment this energy touched the air, it transformed into a colossal wave of lightning. The entire rocky sea area instantly became a lightning hell, the violent lightning engulfing all the falling monster birds. (End of Chapter)
