Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 356 - A Minor Victory

Wu Chen lowered his gaze.

Without hesitation, he spurred the lava giant to smash it down towards the old mage. The radiance of the Holy Disintegration Wave was analyzed by Wu Chen and applied to the giant. This caused the giant, as it swung its fist, to erupt with a holy yet dangerous light!
"Teleport!"

One of the black-robed mages suddenly raised her staff. She had a clear, youthful voice, and long, emerald-green hair cascaded from beneath her cloak. The next moment, she and the many spellcasters around her successfully escaped the lava giant's onslaught!
A giant fist slammed into the ground. The sound wasn't of impact, but rather a soft disintegration. The sacred disintegration wave carved a pure hemisphere with a radius of fifteen meters directly into the earth's surface, and the remaining barrier was as smooth as a mirror.

A single hit would be fatal. At least, that was true for those whose health level was too low. However, Rajis and his mage squad teleported hundreds of meters away in a flash, reappearing on a high ground not far away.

—It is Lagihis in the planned completion of the world line.

Wu Chen raised his hand, and a thin, narrow mountain suddenly rose up in front of the lava giant as a barrier. A white destructive ray then struck the mountain and successfully tore it apart.

The situation is not good.

This was originally the plot of Lance Part 2. The mage Lagisis, in pursuit of greater magical power and deeper magical potential, gifted a special ring to four prodigy apprentices he had sought out, allowing their magical power to be transferred to his body at the opportune moment. His plan was exposed, and the apprentice witches were killed. However, the hidden mechanism within the ring still worked; he still had the chance to resurrect and even gain greater power.

He succeeded in the end, even after losing his physical body, he managed to possess the mayor's daughter's body and retrieve the ring. His immense magical power allowed him to resurrect an unlimited number of times. Furthermore, his Lv3 magical potential meant he could even control the black destructive ray, which was far more powerful than the white destructive ray and could perhaps even dismantle a demon's invincible barrier.

He ultimately lost, for he had lost his original physical body. The repeated use of Blackfire overloaded his soul, causing a magical backlash. This once-confident archmage died because of his own magical ring.

This is the original plot, which is simple and lacks variation. However, if we look at the timeline from a higher perspective, the current point in time is precisely where the witches rebelled against their teacher.

—They failed.

The lava giant lunged forward, displaying an unexpected agility despite its massive size. Teleportation spells were clearly difficult to cast continuously at high speeds, so Rajsis, protected in the center by his apprentices, stretched out his palm and slammed it down!

—And his visit to Lysas with his findings was by no means without reason.

A massive gravitational field suddenly formed. The invisible pressure forcefully crushed the charging lava giant. It was undoubtedly a high-level gravity interference spell, and the working principle of this spell was clearly revealed to Wu Chen's observation.

'Boom—!' The giant's shell slammed violently into the ground. Lava and fire flew everywhere, deforming in the air and extending towards the nearby enemy, baring its fangs and claws.

Another witch stepped forward, erecting a barrier against the lava magic. And just as the lava tore through the barrier, a dark light appeared in Rajsis's palm.

It's a black box.

His original body could easily bear this powerful magical force.

Protected by the divine disintegration wave, the lava giant crumbled and evaporated without resistance under the onslaught of the dark light. The scales of victory tipped slightly once more. And a smug smile crept onto the old archmage's lips.

He is very happy.

But he was too happy too soon.

The lava giant had bought enough time for Wu Chen, who was multitasking. Meanwhile, the voice of the Child of Earth and Stone had been precisely and secretly transmitted to the earth beneath their feet.

【Awaken! Land of Lysas, awaken cruelly, and bring down the most complete destruction and death upon all who dare to offend you!】 The earth trembled slightly.

The next moment, surprise and even panic were visibly displayed on the archmage's face!

'boom--! ! ! ’

The burst of light and fire instantly engulfed the entire battlefield. And this was no longer a typical volcanic eruption, but a far more powerful and impactful plume-up phenomenon!
The intense and pure light wiped out everything on this land. As the rising light gradually faded, the burst of air and dust was resisted by the small mountains that suddenly formed on the outer wall of Lysas. A lava lake covering about one hundred acres appeared in the southwest of Lysas City.

ended.

There was no sign of any living creature remaining on the lava pool. The spellcasters who were swallowed by the mantle pillar left not even a trace behind.

—I killed them once.

Wu Chen was certain that when he made his final move, he did indeed sense a certain feeling of hitting the mark. But he also remembered that even the original Lagihis, who had won by using a backup plan, was able to use magic to recreate his temporary vessel body again and again.

He has the ability to resurrect.

However, he did not revive on the pool of flames.

A scorching wind blew up, and Wu Chen raised a soothing hand. Soon, accompanied by more sounds of earth and stone, the boiling lava pool calmed down. And the mountains that had protected the city silently descended.

"He will come again."

Wu Chen's hand reached forward and grabbed at the air. He only managed to capture a few fragile fragments of mage souls on the battlefield. The four witches, who were the main force, were undoubtedly still alive, but it was unknown to what extent they and their mentor had been weakened in this setback.

Well, whatever. The situation is still under control, and I still have many leverage points that I'm holding back.

Screams and noises erupted all around. In those quiet buildings, many uneasy flames lit up.

The city, now awakened, is in a state of immense chaos and noise. Wu Chen, who was standing on the street, has reverted to his human form and stretched.

I'm starting to get a little interested. Sure enough, this world isn't a vacation without danger and challenges. So…

"Calm down first, then get a good night's sleep."

He spoke, addressing the entire city.

Thus, the chaos and confusion in the city faded away and disappeared without a trace.

He did indeed intend to go back and get some sleep.
