Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 822 Fatis Makes His Move (4-in-1)

"Legendary mage..."

Hosdim!

You've finally shown up!

After laughing, Roy's expression turned serious as he looked at the white-bearded old mage.

Meanwhile, Melas transmitted his voice from afar.

"A formidable enemy has appeared. You should leave first."

"Oh? Then I won't be polite."

Melas quickly made his escape.

"You're running rampant here, how can I not show up?"

"Hosdim said angrily."

"I knew it!
"You once defeated the great wizard Pronos; I'd really like to see what you're capable of."

Roy said, eager to try.

The existence of legendary mages differs slightly from that of grand wizards.

If wizards and gods are beings who focus on the realm of the soul and elevate themselves to outer planes, then legendary mages are beings who originate from the material world but are also rooted in it, and are more inclined to exist on the material level.

They often choose to merge their physical body and soul, condensing them into a unified existence. In the words of the wizards' research, this means injecting "legendary elements" into the ordinary physical body, making the entire body divine and legendary, thereby gaining an elevation.

In order to avoid being rejected by the world's will, they chose to empty their own source of magic (leaving only level three) and entrust it to the heavens.

Therefore, what appears before him now is the true form, the real form of Hosdim.

The sorcerers considered their spellcasting process to be elegant, skillful, and full of artistic beauty.

Mysterious incantations, the power of heaven and earth, completely devoid of any worldly concerns, unlike the primitive and brutal nature of sorcerers.

In fact, wizards and mages were originally the same word, closer to the concept of "spellcaster," and even included warlocks and users of psychic abilities. The different evolutions only occurred later.

The Hosdim who appeared before them at this moment also only possessed the power of the third level.

The magic used is enhanced by legendary elements and employs methods similar to "harmony between man and nature" to manipulate the rules and invoke the power of heaven and earth.

However, because he can connect to the source of magic stored in the sea of ​​stars, activating "legendary spells" is not a problem.

They do not rely on the magic of heaven and earth, but on the power of the stars and arcane arts.

Even after death, they can continue to exist as "legendary elements," providing support for "legendary spells."

This is similar to the arcane side, where arcane mages have access to "arcane divine spells".

These legendary elements in the field of arcane arts are often inventions or creations in a particular area or sub-branch, possessing groundbreaking arcane achievements and attaining immortal accomplishments.

This is similar to the concept of scientific inventions and creations, which are objects that all spellcasters can study and learn from.

Only by achieving a certain arcane feat can one attain legendary status, rather than taking the path of becoming a wizard or ascending the ladder to godhood.

A legendary mage is not necessarily a grand arcane mage, but a grand arcane mage is destined to become a legend. The difference between the two lies in the fact that one follows and the other creates.

Hosdim was a Grand Arcane Mage who developed legendary spells, which enabled him to advance in rank.

Unlike some mediocre legends who only know how to "pile up elements" and "publish superficial papers" to achieve results.

"Hostim's legendary elements seem to stem from his research on stars and gravity; the legendary spell he invented is 'Legendary Gravity'!"

Roy immediately recalled the information he knew: just like Achinila, the Seven Towers Alliance also took enemy powerhouses very seriously.

"But besides that, he also followed in and built upon the achievements of his predecessors, mastering another legendary spell, the 'Legendary Dimensional Blade'!"

While Roy was lost in thought, Hosdim fell silent for a moment.

What he sensed from Roy was a vibrant energy and the fearless courage of a newborn calf.

He simply couldn't understand where a newly promoted Grand Wizard got the courage and confidence to do so.

Knowing that he had once defeated the great wizard Pronos, shouldn't he be filled with fear, awe, and dread?
"It seems you do have a lot to rely on."

My situation and my abilities have been laid bare before the wizards.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about you.

The intelligence gathered before is already outdated. Newly promoted wizards may not necessarily use the same methods as those they have shown in the past; this is determined by the nature of their profession and their path to advancement.

But precisely because of this, I am even more determined to eliminate an opponent like you for the sake of Yachinila, to nip you in the bud!

In an instant, a chilling aura emanated from him, revealing his murderous intent.

"Lord Hosdim!"

The monks, witnessing this scene from afar, were genuinely thrilled.

"Legendary Mage, you've decided to make your move!"

"This is wonderful! We'll make sure this wizard never leaves alive!"

They understood, of course, that this was Roy's incarnation, not Roy's true form.

However, the power of great wizards is often indirectly manifested through the connection between their true form and their avatar. If one can defeat the avatar, one can gain some understanding of the wizard.

In addition, defeating the avatar is itself a form of weakening.

Severing the soul is an extremely sophisticated and precise operation for any living being; it is not something that can be easily accomplished.

Unlike ordinary puppets, avatars cannot be created at will.

This will at least weaken his influence on the material world, which will take hundreds of years to recover.

By the time he recreates the avatar, Achinila will have a sufficient understanding of him, and may even be able to capture the avatar alive to trace back to the original and unite with several legendary mages to strike!
As for the outcome of the battle between the two...

Of course, the legendary mage wins!

He had even defeated another great wizard, so how could he not deal with this newcomer?

Unnoticed by anyone, on the other side, a mysterious figure quietly emerged.

Atop the high-rise building, a figure stood, revealing himself to be the same mysterious person who had once appeared inside the Fatima Cathedral.

Fatis, the goddess of fate!
He was still wearing a simple gray robe, and his face was indistinct.

This time, even his entire figure became blurred, as if he had blended into the night.

Boom!

A thunderclap boomed in the sky.

That was natural lightning, not a spell cast by Roy using his staff.

A bright light flashed.

But there was no shadow at all on the rooftop behind Him!

Fatis gazed with a melancholy look at the two people facing off in the distance.

Suddenly, Roy sped off at incredible speed, launching an attack.

As it flew, lightning surged between the staff, unleashing simple yet incredibly fast bolts of lightning that shot directly at the opponent.

Hosdim swiftly raised his hand, unleashing an equally invisible spell at Roy.

******
"Legendary Gravity Technique!"

The moment Hosdim made his move, Roy felt an invisible force act directly on him.

It felt as if a massive boulder was pressing down on me, and every inch of my skin and every cell in my body was evenly affected by gravity.

It was as if an ordinary human being had suddenly fallen into a place with tens or hundreds of times the force of gravity, making even breathing difficult.

But he was prepared, and his body shone with a bright golden light.

That was the Valkyrie merging with it, her spirit and will protecting the host.

This divinely inspired state granted him additional attributes.

The powerful physique granted by the equipment further enabled them to persevere to the very end.

A moment later, with the blessing of the [Sage's Proverb], a powerful boost of nearly 9000 degrees was added to this avatar!
Unlike the spirit, physical forms are less susceptible to rejection, thus enabling them to exceed 1 degrees.

The Golden Dragon's body originally had a temperature of over 5000 degrees, but now it has reached an unprecedented 15000 degrees!
The binding force of the gravity spell seemed to vanish instantly, and at the same time, instead of retreating, the figure advanced, the staff pointing directly at Hosdim.

Another bolt of lightning shot out.

A look of surprise flashed across Hosdim's eyes.

He had just deflected the lightning with a magical shield, but this attack shattered it instantly.

He wasn't actually very good at defensive spells; he simply added his own gravity spell model, which he was good at and proud of, to a similar spell model and successfully modified it.

This is the reverse application of gravity: repulsive force.

They excel at dealing with tangible arrows, or spells like fireballs and ice spikes.

Lightning beam...

It is not included in this list and cannot be affected by gravity!
Therefore, Hosdim had no choice but to raise his hand and slash his staff forward sharply.

Magic tore through space, and a pitch-black rift appeared out of thin air, like an invisible blade meeting the raging thunder.

"Dimensional Blade"!
Where the rift passed, space twisted and deformed. The lightning bolt was split in two the instant it touched the edge of the rift, and violent arcs of electricity shot out to both sides, exploding into dazzling sparks in the air.

"Gernita!"

Suddenly, Roy transmitted his voice.

On her shoulder, Grenita, who had been transformed into an elementalist, made her move.

It launched another coordinated attack.

Additional spells followed, bypassing the dimensional blade and striking Hosdim.

"Oops!"

"It's this move again!"

"He can launch multiple attacks!"

In the distance, mages using telescopes and various spells to scout were greatly alarmed.

Hosdim had to react quickly, unleashing his dimensional blade once more, shattering the lightning.

But two fists can't fight four hands. Seeing that his tactics were working, Roy immediately attacked again, followed by a series of probing attacks with the help of Gunetta.

This time, it's impossible to multiply and superimpose the same method as when eliminating Volley before.

In the rapid back-and-forth of attacks and defenses, he simply couldn't muster the mental energy to launch more attacks in one go.

However, this consistent and stable output still caught Hosdim off guard.

From beginning to end, he crafted this equipment and changed it into this fighting style precisely to counter Hosdim, and to counter the opponent's gravity spells and dimensional blades within a limited range of options.

The results were immediately apparent.

The rapid, successive attacks caught the opponent off guard, rendering their formidable skills useless.

Just as Roy was about to finish off his opponent in one fell swoop, a strange feeling came over him.

Grenita immediately exclaimed, "My spellcasting is being hindered!"

It's a feeling of being disturbed by some kind of force in the dark.

Originally, his martial arts cultivation had reached the level of "unity of heaven and man," and his spiritual will had long since broken through the limits of the mortal world, reaching the stage of a great wizard that was difficult for earthly beings to reach.

In any case, mobilizing the magic of heaven and earth is easy and simple.

Even the most basic spell model, with only tens or hundreds of attack damage, can be used to achieve tens of thousands of degrees of damage.

But now, it seems to be disliked by the will of heaven and earth and suppressed by the will of the world.

Roy could have easily resolved this situation, but at this crucial moment in the fierce battle, he was a step too slow, and his meticulously planned, step-by-step approach failed.

Hosdim seized the opportunity, slipping away during the gap in his attack and immediately using Blink to disappear into the distance.

"Anti-Demon Field"!
"Spell Reversal!"
Two scrolls in succession, spellcasting with props...

Following closely behind is "energy immunity".

This magical arcane technique can make the recipient immune to damage of a specified energy type.

It immediately provides powerful protection against lightning strikes!

This was a technique he hadn't shown before when facing the great wizard Pronos, and he wasn't very skilled at this spell, needing the aid of a prop to use it.

Upon seeing this, Roy's gaze narrowed slightly.

There are countless ways to withstand and deal with lightning strikes.

From "Resist Energy Damage" in the second ring to "Protect Energy Damage" in the third ring.

From the 6th ring's "Anti-Magic Field" to the 7th ring's "Spell Reversal" and "Energy Immunity".

Then, from the spellcasting system's "Force Wall Technique" to the transformation system's "Elemental Body".

There are also spell nullification barriers, teleportation portals, and instant teleportation spells...

Experienced mages always have a way to deal with an opportunity.

But the problem lies precisely in "finding an opportunity".

In his calculations, it was unlikely that Hosdim would find such an opportunity.

Even if there is a summoned army of mages, there are other puppets blocking the way.

If you're not strong enough, it's easy to solve.

That doesn't give them a "real" chance to breathe.

But just now, a mysterious force prevented him from casting a spell and helped Hosdim.

"Who could it be?"

Roy was secretly on guard, but before he could think any further, Hosdim's counterattack came.

The series of dimensional blade attacks were simple and unadorned, yet they were filled with terrifying power.

As the void tore apart, Roy could only dodge.

But suddenly thousands of small spheres appeared around us, each like a black hole, emitting a powerful gravitational pull.

That was Hosdim's signature gravity spell, a legendary spell with added legendary elements.

"Astral Descent - Infinite Gravity Field!"

Even with his formidable physique exceeding ten thousand degrees, Roy was frozen in place.

He seemed to be bound hand and foot by an invisible force, followed by terrifying slashes.

"Humph……"

Roy's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

While Hosdim was still in shock and disbelief, the dimensional blade pierced through him as if it had struck a void.

"Shadow Fiend, immune to physical attacks?"

He reacted immediately.

But just then, the Valkyrie made her move.

The spear of Inevitah, the Holy Light, appeared.

In an instant, a spear formed from spiritual power pierced through his chest.

******
"what!"

Hosdim was severely injured and screamed in pain.

This "Holy Light Inevita Spear" is a mental attack weapon with powerful abilities.

Once it's used, it means that the information that Roy is "Kirick" and "Professor" has been completely exposed.

But this matter was already a semi-public secret, and the people of Achinila probably already knew about it.

What truly makes it effective is its simple and unpretentious power.

It's one thing to know something, but how can you be on guard at all times during a real battle?

Even with the best precautions, it doesn't mean you can withstand it.

Therefore, during the transition between offense and defense, Hosdim, who failed to react in time, was completely caught off guard.

A look of horror crossed his face; he never expected that the spear would be so powerful.

But as a legendary powerhouse, he did not back down. Instead, he steeled his resolve, and the gravity field that had been deployed around Roy's body began to operate in an orderly manner in a strange way.

An invisible force pulled Roy's body, as if tearing him apart, forcibly straightening him! Roy felt his bones cracking under the strain, as if he would be torn to pieces in the next second.

This powerful and chaotic flow of gravity made him very uncomfortable, and the clustered flow, similar to a magnetic field, gave him a force dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than before.

If it weren't for his incredibly strong physique with tens of thousands of degrees of strength, he would probably have been torn apart by force.

Seeing this, Hosdim felt another wave of headache.

How could this avatar be so powerful?

Ordinary level three strength would have been torn to pieces long ago!

"hateful……"

"Now how to do?"

"Let's go help Lord Hosdim!"

"The enemy is trapped; now is the perfect opportunity!"

Those watching from a distance hesitated for a moment.

They also understood that they couldn't play a significant role in this battle of the strong.

However, the current situation has reached a critical moment where the snipe and the clam are fighting each other.

Lord Hosdim was seriously injured, and the enemy was also unable to move.

If we don't act now, when will we?

At that moment, a large number of mages rushed out.

Various war golems, machines, and elemental summons also swarmed in.

"Wait! Look, what's that?"

Amidst everyone's shock and astonishment, black smoke billowed from Roy's body, who was under siege.

A large amount of thick black smoke continued to condense.

Like ink being poured out, a huge and deep black shadow appeared behind him.

Unlike the tiny human figures, the black shadow possessed a colossal scale, like a giant warrior.

"Hum..."

Roy sneered.

"Ha ha……

Ha ha ha ha! "

Amidst the horrified, shocked, and incredulous gazes of the crowd.

A terrifyingly large black shadow completely replaced the golden Valkyrie, enveloping Roy's body.

Roy's true form seemed to vanish into the void, completely falling into the shadow plane and hiding away.

Instead, the Shadow Fiend King's body was completely unaffected by gravity!

"Damn Freo, what exactly did you do in Nehebul?"

Hosdim quickly realized many things and couldn't help but curse.

I initially thought it would just be a small experiment involving capturing ordinary Shadow Fiends and testing physical immunity armor...

Little did they know, they were secretly plotting against the Shadow Fiend King behind the Council's back!
He had already heard about the fall of the mage tower and laughed at the archmage for being so foolish as to cause such a huge mess.

But a few years ago, when he learned that Roy had brought the Mage Tower here to participate in the war in the Nomon world, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Now, all he wants is to find that great mage, grind his bones to dust, and put his soul into a furnace to be forged for thousands of years.

Otherwise, I cannot quell the hatred in my heart!

In the distance, Fatis stared in astonishment at the terrifying figure.

Roy seemed to sense something and turned to look at them.

Fatis was slightly taken aback.

"So it was you who was behind this!"

Fatis, you've been secretly plotting this day for a long time, haven't you?

"Fatis?"

Upon hearing Roy's telepathic message, Hosdim couldn't help but turn his gaze over as well.

Based on what had happened before, I instantly realized that the other party had helped me.

Although it wasn't necessarily genuine help, but rather exploitation, he was still overjoyed.

"This is a good opportunity for us to work together to kill him..."

At least destroy this avatar!

The tacit understanding between strong individuals needs no further explanation; both sides know what is in their best interest.

At that moment, Hosdim, suppressing the discomfort of his severe mental trauma, pulled out an ancient scroll.

"Back in time!"

Before the immense power of time, the life of the spirit and soul is also restored.

The precious treasure reversed the "severely damaged" outcome and instantly returned to its peak condition!
However, unlike conventional backtracking methods, Hosdim's location point is a state from thousands of years ago.

In other words, thousands of years of accumulation and progress have been wasted.

He was "young" for over a thousand years, which is equivalent to "living in vain" for over a thousand years.

However, the limit of lifespan cannot be restored as a result, and using this magic to interfere with the flow of time has also resulted in some kind of invisible backlash.

The power of the river of time began to erode his body, bringing about a great backlash.

But Hosdim didn't care about anything else. He immediately raised his staff again, chanted the incantation, and slashed out with a "Legendary Dimensional Blade".

Unlike the previous attack, he poured a large amount of legendary elements into this spell, giving it the characteristic of "anti-magic".

The purpose is to break through the "physical immunity" characteristic and completely kill the Golden Dragon Incarnation!

At the same time, a bright golden light emanated from Fatis.

A small die appeared in His palm.

This thing looks completely different from the props used in casinos or entertainment venues.

It's not a six-sided cube, but a special kind of irregularly shaped die with 20 sides.

Because of the golden light emanating from it, the dice were imbued with a mysterious aura the moment they appeared.

Fatis tossed it up into the air, and the dice spun around.

Roy, as the incarnation of the golden dragon, possesses exceptional dynamic vision. His gaze locked onto the dice, and he actually saw the numbers 1 to 20 within them.

When the dice fell, a large "16" appeared above Fatis's head.

These numbers are written in an ancient script called "Destiny Inscriptions" from the Nomen world, containing a mysterious power to control destiny.

After that, the digitalization turned into gold and was transferred into Fatis's hands.

Then, He transformed it into a sharp arrow and launched it using a simple model of "arrow shooting".

******
"Trying to hit me so slowly?"

Roy sneered at the sight.

However, facing attacks from both sides, he dared not underestimate his opponent.

This thing, having been blessed by the mysterious dice just now, possesses special power and must be extraordinary.

Even legendary spells aren't so easy to defend against.

He then activated "Shadow Stealth," traversed the void, and jumped out from behind a nearby low-level mage.

Everyone was shocked.

Hosdim felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart.

This means that Roy is indeed completely immune to his own methods.

Gravity had no effect on him; he could come and go as he pleased, and it couldn't hold him back at all!

But just then, before Roy could even deal with the mages, he was hit.

His body trembled violently as he looked down in disbelief.

An arrow pierced through his chest, then leaped and weaved through the air in an incredible way, hitting him precisely.

This arrow may seem ordinary at first glance, but in reality, it possesses an incredibly powerful and terrifying force, with a terrifying power exceeding 10 degrees Celsius erupting within its body.

Boom!

The terrifying explosion tore the Shadow Fiend to pieces, and the golden dragon's body inside was also instantly severely damaged.

"Great!"

Hosdim was greatly encouraged by this.

"Successful!"

Although Fatis even blew up his own mage, he felt a deep hatred for it.

However, if we can just kill the opponent's Grand Wizard like this, it's not an unacceptable outcome.

Roy, who should have been seriously injured, turned around as if nothing had happened and charged straight at Fatis.

At the same time, Grenita on her shoulder launched a coordinated attack, unleashing bolts of lightning in quick succession!

A large "3" appeared above Fatis's head, enveloped by a mysterious force.

Lightning, which even a gravitational field cannot interfere with, was distorted by some strange force.

The lightning bolts deflected one after another, bypassing him, and struck the building behind him.

Rumble!
The bricks and stones fell and shattered into pieces.

"What exactly is going on?"

A look of confusion flashed across Roy's eyes.

He vaguely guessed that it was the realm of fate, the power of probability.

A mysterious law caused his attack to miss its target.

Because this is a power that transcends matter and elements, belonging to the realm of laws, it is utterly impossible to resist or reverse.

No matter how you try to control it, you will still be affected by it.

But in the blink of an eye, even more thunderbolts struck.

At the same time, the Shadow Fiend reappeared, and tentacles formed from dark light and shadow emerged from the void, reaching for Fatis!
That's the "Shadow Tentacle".

Fatis panicked under the double attack, dodging left and right.

But he was eventually caught.

The moment they made contact, His divine power clashed violently with the power of the Shadow Demon King.

The hood fell off, revealing the face of a young woman behind the previously obscured, mysterious figure.

"what……"

The tentacles strangled him mercilessly, crushing his body and turning him into a bloody pulp!
The intelligence was indeed accurate. Fatis, the God of Fate, who was only three to five hundred years old, was one of the weakest of the newly born demon gods.

Find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack; it might actually pose some threat.

However, if faced head-on, it would almost immediately crumble!
Hosdim, who had just wanted to join forces with Fatis, was startled by what he saw.

They immediately lost all interest in fighting, quietly disappeared, and withdrew from the scene.

……

"Finally left?"

Roy felt a little regretful at the thought of Hosdim's disappearance, but he did not stop him.

In reality, it cannot be stopped.

He was ambushed by Fatis and was seriously injured.

Although it did not directly threaten the main body or cause any irreversible damage, it still had some impact on the current combat capability.

Moreover, there are definitely more than just Hosdim among the mages.

Even Volley, who was killed earlier, can be replaced by other level three powerhouses.

He immediately shifted his attention to the body he had just crushed.

"Is this also an incarnation?"
No, it should be a divine being like a saintess. Although she is only a newly born deity, she possesses considerable power because she is favored by the will of heaven and earth.

After all, this is the seed of a true god, the spokesperson for the origin of the world…

This did not actually kill Fatis, but merely killed the descendant and severed the hand reaching out to the mortal realm.

But it was by no means a complete loss.

Roy looked up at the tentacle, where a pool of blood and flesh was smeared, with golden light emanating from it.

A faint stinging pain came over me; it was the familiar feeling of my talent essence being absorbed.

However, the amount contained seems small, and the puzzle of the talent seed seems to be adjusting under this stimulus, without showing much progress.

It seems that the divine nature and divinity of the original body are still needed for it to be further manifested.

"Fatis's Divine Fragment (Level 4/5)..."

Domain: Destiny...

Those chosen by fate become vessels to serve the gods, bearing the power of the gods...

Divine Art: "The Dice of Fate," which manifests as the power to manipulate probability...

"I see!"

Roy carefully collected the mass of flesh and blood along with the seed of divine power within, wasting not a single bit.

……

Not long after, in the Nehpur Tower.

"Lord Roy!"

After a long and hard-won safe return of Roy, Atedia and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

During the battle just now, they were on standby at any time.

If other powerful figures on the mage's side are mobilized, they will immediately follow.

At that time, Roy's other fragmented clones—human, beast god, and snake god—will also be deployed to the battlefield.

Even the Mage Tower will be sent to the front lines to engage in the ultimate battle!
However, Roy never issued that backup order and did not act rashly.

"Meow meow!"

Domi also raised its tail high and came forward, hugging the trouser leg and rubbing against it vigorously.

Because of the special connection between their souls, it also sensed the attack Roy was suffering.

That magic arrow had truly wounded Roy.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Roy turned to look at everyone, and then gave the order.

"Completely destroy the temple of the God of Destiny, issue warrants for the arrest of all believers, and hunt down fanatics!"

"what?"

"Didn't you make an agreement with Him before..."

Artia and Prandtse, who had accompanied Roy to that cathedral, said unexpectedly.

"It's no longer necessary to follow this rule!"

Roy gave a brief explanation.

The unexpected result of this action was that it brought forth the goddess of fate, Fatis.

Given the severe damage suffered by the mages, it will be difficult to intervene in the short term.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to completely eliminate this native god before Hosdim recovers from his injuries or before a new legendary powerhouse arrives!
