Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 355 - Archmage Rajis

It was incredibly powerful magic; the sheer volume of magical energy it generated could even cause subtle distortions in the macroscopic realm. It was like an invisible volcano that was constantly erupting, and even the clouds in the sky were disturbed by the effect of this magical outburst.

It is going to rain.

The moisture content in the air was steadily increasing with the subtle changes in the celestial phenomena. The flowing wind swept through the vast city, and a slight chill quickly became apparent to every resident who had taken refuge indoors during the martial law period.

They felt cold.

But Wu Chen sensed power.

Raising his hand, the elemental crystal sphere and the crown of worm-borne venom silently appeared on his body. The crown maintained its simple form as a silver headband, while the crystal sphere silently transformed into a bracelet, which was placed on Wu Chen's wrist.

He hesitated for a moment.

The armament phase is sufficient; there's no need to further amplify his power for now. However, the sudden increase in his attributes, coinciding with the placement of the silver headband on Wu Chen's head, dramatically enhanced his sensitivity to magic.

— It has quantity but lacks quality.

—This powerful magic has flaws, such as insufficient operational precision and poor overall quality… It's not magic acquired through diligent practice and complete mastery of every single detail, but rather obtained through shortcuts… No, within the chaotic flow of magic, there are multiple interwoven orders. So that's it, it's not an ordinary magic amplification ritual, but rather directly absorbing the magic of others and converting it for one's own use.

Who could it be?
Numerous options flashed through his mind, but a definitive conclusion could not be reached. This was because, besides the demons who relied entirely on demonic blood and souls for power, countless ancient relics and bio-engineered humans existed on this land. And their power reactions almost perfectly matched Wu Chen's previous observations.

"try it."

Wu Chen raised his hand. Instead of using the unique magic originating from Mondas, he fully unleashed his Lv3 magical potential. A vast amount of inspiration and creativity surged forth with the arrival of external pressure. And when he emphasized his aspect as a 'magician,' some novel spells with local flavor were swiftly created in his hands.

Weather interference.

Drawing inspiration from the weather manipulation magic of the kingdom's heavens, the magic power flowing from Wu Chen's body surged towards the sky and mixed into the disturbed clouds. His form changed slightly as a result, and his human posture at this moment even revealed the ethereal nature of the clouds. He became one of the clouds, and the language of the clouds was released from between his teeth.

To the average person, it might just sound like an exceptionally sharp wind.

To those sensitive to magic, it sounded like a magnificent and spectacular thunderous roar.

However, in the understanding of the stratus clouds in the sky, it is a meaningful release of language.

【Awaken, clouds of Lysas, unleash your wrath and banish the intruders who disturb the heavens!】

"Kala——"

Suddenly, lightning flashed within the layers of clouds. The night clouds, which had merely been disturbed by the surge of the opponent's magic, instantly shrank by dozens of shades, like an enraged beast. They changed from pale white to the black of accumulated rain, and then a dazzling bolt of lightning crashed down!
The sky thus turned from dark to bright.

The spell's effect is to expel; this attack is not lethal to visitors who are not hostile.

However, the next moment, the area where the lightning struck erupted with intense light. It was a purer, more dazzling white of destruction than the lightning itself, and it shot directly from the ground to the sky!

It's a white destructive ray. And its power is far greater than the one released by Wu Chen.

The massive beam of light tore through the descending lightning and struck the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, erasing nearly one-tenth of the dark cloud layer!
The clouds were scattered, and the slight natural sentience that had arisen from Wu Chen's magic collapsed and decayed under the pure destructive force. Without sentience, the clouds could no longer vent their anger. But the pain lingering from their destruction still flowed across the land. Wu Chen's lips curled into a smile.

His aura changed once more, transforming from ethereal clouds into solid earth and stone. His feet trod upon the earth, and the pain of the clouds flowing through heaven and earth was skillfully guided to the land.

Awaken, land of Lysas, with your strength and fortitude, protect your city and your people.

The earth immediately began to shake.

The will to protect was bestowed upon Wu Chen, and Yun's pain fueled his rage. The brief exchange earlier was enough for Wu Chen to discern the direction of his opponent. And that location was undoubtedly southwest of Lisas City.

Southwest, towards the direction of the free urban cluster.

The ground beneath their feet trembled only slightly, but at the anchored point, a massive eruption of subterranean fire erupted—the earth tore open a gaping maw, spewing forth scorching hot air and magma. Undoubtedly, this attack would catch the opponent completely off guard.

'boom--'

After the tremor came a massive explosion.

The dark night sky was completely dyed red at this moment. Everyone in Lysas could see a fresh volcano erupting outside the city. Countless people trembled in fear, and just as many Lysas warriors suddenly grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the direction from which the fire was erupting.

—I won a small hand.

Wu Chen was absolutely certain of this.

However, the next moment, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

Sleep now, land and mountains of Lysas, for here there are no enemies, no need for battle.

A voice came.

The voice, emanating from the earth and soil, could only be heard by the children of earth and stone. The magic that Wu Chen had casually developed was reproduced in the hands of his opponent after a single exchange of blows. And the enraged earth was thus somewhat suppressed.

The earth no longer trembles.

The crimson flames in the distance were fading as the subterranean fire emerged.

Without a doubt, this uninvited guest from outside Lisas also possesses Lv3 magical potential. Perhaps slightly lower in absolute terms than Wu Chen, but the methods Wu Chen can use, the other party might very well be able to successfully imitate!
"You can also change your body shape?"

Wu Chen chuckled softly. The next moment, the changes in him were no longer merely 'slight' but a complete transformation from head to toe. Perhaps to others, the changes weren't drastic. But beneath his concealing clothing, all his flesh and blood had already turned into mud and sand!
Wake up, my brothers!

His voice overwhelmed his opponent. His power manifested at the fissure in the earth. A colossal lava giant roared up from the still-burning subterranean flames. And the earth's perspective captured precise information for him!

He saw him, saw the face of the man surrounded by a group of silent, black-robed mages. He was a tall, thin old wizard with pure white hair and beard. And at that moment, Wu Chen learned of his identity.

Magister Rajsis of Kastam!
