The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 38, Section 37: Elian Kills by Destroying the Spirit

As the hands below Elion cast a spell to transform Helen, the hands in the middle clasped their fists in prayer, and the hands at the top were not idle either, they made a complicated and intricate spell-casting gesture.

Three hands casting spells simultaneously!
Elian raised his two top hands above his head, and a golden energy field instantly formed.

At that moment, Gutt's body trembled instinctively.

Just by seeing that golden energy field sphere, he could feel the incredibly terrifying and surging power contained within it!

This doesn't seem to be a high-level spell, but Elion has added super-magical techniques or some other special enhancements to it.

"No, we have to get away!"

It may seem like a long time, but in reality, Elian's three hands acted simultaneously.

The battle had only been going on for a few seconds, and Gutt had not yet recovered from the shock of unleashing "Meteor Explosion".

The chief of energy conservation team flew rapidly to the rear.

At the same time, the force field energy ball in Elian's hand was also launched straight at Gut at an incredibly fast speed.

"This...this kind of magic that shapes energy..."

"It's clearly a spell from the Evocation school!"

"Why do I, the chief of the Energy Shaping School, feel so alienated?"

In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Gutt's mind.

He relied on high-speed flight to constantly maneuver and move through the night sky, leaving a trail of afterimages as he tried to break free from the lock of the force field energy ball.

However, this force field energy ball seems to have its own tracking ability.

No matter how Gutt flew, dodged, or evaded, he followed closely behind, relentlessly pursuing the latter.

It was as if his being hit by this attack was a predetermined fate, an inevitability pursued by the entire universe, a result already destined before the attack even began.

Just as the golden energy ball was about to hit him, Gutt broke free from the buffer state after unleashing his powerful magic at the last moment and uttered a short syllable.

A massive shield formed from force field energy blocked the way, separating Gutt from the golden sphere.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it blocked it..."

Click.

The next instant, Gutt heard the sound of the magic shield shattering and saw it break into countless fragments.

The golden energy ball struck him without any obstruction.

Rumble!
A massive explosion occurred in the night sky, its brilliant golden light almost turning the darkness into daylight.

Gutt fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground.

This self-important chieftain, his magnificent robes were now in tatters, his entire upper body was soaked in crimson blood, and he was nearly unconscious.

That attack just now destroyed all the magical protection he had previously put on himself.

At this moment, even a weak goblin could kill this chief who had already lost his fighting ability.

"This... This is impossible..."

"Helen, Gutt, you all..."

Kad, who was maintaining the suppression of the necromancy domain, was already trembling with fear.

This chief mage of the Protection School, an eighth-ring high-ranking mage, never expected:

The two chiefs who were stronger than him were defeated almost instantly.

Then, he watched as Elian, with six arms, turned to look at him and walked towards him step by step.

"No, we must put up a final stand; we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Kad chanted incantations at lightning speed, unleashing spell after spell upon him.

Most of these spells are not destructive, but rather used to dispel any existing transformation and protective magic on Elian.

Dispelling magic from enemies is also a strength of the defensive school!

Therefore, the mages of the Protection School are adept at being both spears and shields against other spellcasters!
Bang bang bang.

El-Erian made a gesture, and a shimmering barrier appeared in front of him.

The colorful spells shattered one after another as they approached him.

Even though the chief of defenses used every trick in the book, he couldn't break through Elian's defenses!
Elian strolled leisurely to Cade.

Then, he drew an obscure symbol in the air with his fingertip.

"Disperse!" (Clang)

Amidst the crisp cracking sound, Chief Protector Card saw his protective magic shatter one after another, turning into colorful, shimmering fragments.

The protective spells on him were dispelled instead.

Overwhelmed by this immense fear, Card completely broke down.

The pot-bellied, bald man collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Release me, Your Majesty Elion, the Great High Mage and Arcane Emperor!"

"It was Gutt and Helen who forced me to join the war and assist from the sidelines."

Elian glanced briefly at Kade, who was lying prone on the ground, then turned to look at Helen, the toad croaking in fear in the grass, and Gut, who was badly injured and struggling to get up from the ground.

All three chiefs were defeated.

"Do any of you three have any other accomplices? I'm not talking about your subordinates or families, but other chief mages or equally powerful high-ranking mages."

Neither Helen, who had transformed into a toad, nor Gutt, the chief of energy transformation, who was struggling to prop himself up on the ground, spoke.

After a brief silence, Chief Protective Officer Card said, trembling:

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty Elion. There is also a powerful mage secretly supporting our plans and providing us with intelligence."

“However, it was Gutt and Helen who were in contact with that mage, and I don’t know his identity…”

Elian looked at the wounded Gutt and Helen, who had turned into a toad.

He snapped his fingers lightly, breaking the spell on Helen and restoring her to human form.

"So, can you two tell me who your accomplice is?"

Gutt and Helen remained silent, seemingly unwilling to reveal their accomplice.

In the ancient Eldorian era, spells that could directly detect thoughts were extremely rare, and it was also impossible to obtain clear, deep memories!

This is also why they believe that as long as they remain silent, the secret can be kept.

“Cassandra, the leader of the Prophecy School.” Seeing that the two did not answer, Elion gave the answer directly.

Gutt and Helen both widened their eyes at the same time.

"She was dissatisfied with my reforms, but she was unwilling to be truly hostile to me."

"Therefore, Cassandra chose to bet on both sides, using prophetic magic to communicate with the mysterious otherworldly beings in the bottomless abyss, obtain my whereabouts, and provide the information to you."

"If your assassination fails, pretend you know nothing. If your assassination succeeds, Gut will become the new High Mage and you will have rendered meritorious service."

"A cunning fellow, isn't he?"

Under the horrified gazes of Gutt and Helen, Elian casually revealed the enemy's secret.

It was as if all of this was happening right in front of me.

"Wait, Elian, you knew all along..."

For the first time, an uncontrollable despair appeared on the face of Guter, the handsome chief of energy shaping who had always been arrogant.

He had imagined the outcome of the assassination countless times.

In most of the fantasies, he successfully killed Elion and became the new ruler of Eldoron.

In the rare instances of his illusions, he failed; Elian broke through the necromancy's barrier, cursing or killing them.

But he never expected such an ending.

This was a more terrifying and humiliating outcome than the defeat of the three of them...

"Erian, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"What's the purpose?"

Elian raised an eyebrow.

Gutt gripped the soil beneath him tightly, veins bulging, his voice almost choked with grief and indignation:

"You defeated the Chief Emancer with Emanation Magic, the Chief Transmuter with Transmutation Magic, and the Chief Protector with Protective Magic."

"Finally, in the battle between prophecy and counter-prophecy, the chief prophet was defeated."

"My dearest, Chief Necromancer, Lord Elion!"

“Yes,” Elian replied calmly, his tone devoid of emotion.
