Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 280 The Death of Calvin

A demon race with divine patterns that has lived for hundreds of years has probably entered dozens or even hundreds of secret realms. They have mastered the unique knowledge of these secret realms, and they have reached the pinnacle in everything, whether it is close combat, ranged magic, or even a special system that combines technology and force.

Although he had only been in the secret realm for a short time and hadn't yet fully utilized these techniques, Calvin was confident that apart from human warriors with divine runes who had a talent for cultivation and focused on specific areas, others who cultivated step by step would at most be on par with him.

She's only at the level of a second or third-level human mage, far from being even close to an old mage like Frilian.

Based on past experience, it would take at least five years of training for divine rune warriors and divine rune demons before they could have a direct confrontation with a thousand-year-old magician like Frilian.

But when the water pipe-like magic circuit on Guan Yi's body shattered and an overwhelming surge of magic power erupted into the sky, Calvin was shocked to discover that this magic power was not weaker than Barnes's by a few points!
How can this be?

Less than a year? Catching up to a thousand years?!
'No, that's not right! It's not hidden magic, but a container for magic created within the body through some method. It's accumulated over time and drawn upon when needed. It requires months of accumulation to unleash a burst of magic power for just a few minutes!'

After a brief moment of surprise, Calvin understood the underlying principle of Guan Yi's move and relaxed: 'Bluster. Even if you can acquire a vast amount of magical power, how much of it can you actually control? How many types of magic in this secret realm do you actually know?'

"Jump! Jump as high as you can!"

In that split second, Calvin heard Guan Yiru shout.

A minute earlier, Philon, who was guarding him, flew out at low speed towards Xia Ying. With a flick of his staff, he used a gust of wind to blow away the warrior who had been stunned by Xia Ying, and then cast a levitation spell on Xia Ying, lifting her into the air.

As a warrior, Xia Ying couldn't sense the immense magical power emanating from Guan Yi, but she could see his wounds healing automatically and knew that Philon was an ally. Therefore, she didn't resist, only muttering to herself, "So high, so high, what is he doing? If this kid throws me down, I'll fall to my death..."

Without the slightest hesitation, Fu shattered the earth with his feet the moment Guan Yi shouted, rising straight into the sky.

'A temporary burst of power? Then what? How do we force that guy to reveal it?!'

At the same time, Guan Yi's magic wand made a forceful circle in front of him, and then...

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

Boom—

The arc of the magic wand left a fiery orange-red trail, and the magic power that had been stored within him for so long surged out like lava breaking through a dam, flowing wildly through the broken and reconstructed magic circuits.

As soon as the flames appeared, they broke free from the magic wand's restraints and expanded wildly outwards from Guan Yi's center. What started as a wall of fire about ten feet high instantly grew to tens of feet, transforming into a sky-covering wave of fire, like a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years erupting!

The rocks on the ground melted into crimson magma the moment they came into contact with the flames, hissing as they flowed outwards. Wherever they passed, the vegetation was instantly carbonized, and even the moisture in the air was instantly evaporated, forming a distorted heat wave!

The area within a hundred meters was instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire!
what? !

Such power?!
There's even such a range?!
Calvin, disguised as an ordinary, hard rock, felt a piercing, burning pain, and his suspicion and doubt reached their peak.

The instantaneous burst of magic is one thing, but this kind of forbidden-level fire magic can only be used by a very few mages in this secret realm, right?

Even if this guy is very skilled with fire and has mastered fire magic in other secret realms, how could he possibly replicate his moves to this extent in this secret realm in less than a year?!
Furthermore, the 'superhuman strength magic' and 'self-healing magic' he previously displayed should not be abilities that can be transformed and used in just one or two months.

Could he be a human explorer who has entered this secret realm multiple times? No, if that were the case, we should already have information about him!
It's alright... that's all there is to it.

Calvin remained calm, simply reactivating his divine rune talent, transforming the pebble into a flame and merging it into Guan Yi's flame!
If one is a flame, how can one be burned?
If a simple saturation attack could break through my concealment, I wouldn't have appeared in front of Frilian so soon!
The so-called strategies, confrontations, and victories/defeats were all of little concern to Calvin, a demon with divine runes. He despised the hypocritical humans, but was unwilling to risk his life to kill them; a game was all he needed to do.

'This kid is dangerous; he's a key target for our confrontation with the secret realm. We need to add him to the ranks of those divine-patterned warriors and be on guard against him…'

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!" "Huh?!"

Calvin had barely relaxed for half a second when he felt a strange sensation. It was as if he had been stripped naked and stood in the cold wind. The surrounding flames, following Guan Yi's waving magic wand, swept away into a giant fire dragon, while only his wisp of fake flame remained motionless!
'Damn it! After unleashing a flame of this scale, he could still precisely channel his own magic power into every single wisp of fire, using those flames to cast new spells? Another attack he shouldn't have used after only a year in the secret realm!'

While the other flames moved, his remained still. Calvin knew that to a keen opponent, this was enough to reveal his true form.

Without a moment's delay, he once again turned into tiny pebbles and flew away on the wind into the distance.

'The general area is known, but the problem isn't serious. There are too many pebbles blown by the wind; he can't possibly pinpoint my location precisely!'

His answer was a shadow shaped like a foot.

"Painful Heavenly Kick!"

Boom—

The downward stomping foot precisely placed the fossilized stone formed by Calvin in the very center, and stomped down!

In an instant, a terrifying roar echoed, the ground within a radius of tens of meters shattered, and the power capable of breaking rocks erupted from Guan Yi's feet, causing the scorched earth to dance in the air!
"Wow--"

Calvin was trampled back to his original form, vomiting a mouthful of blood under Guan Yi's feet, his broken sternum piercing directly into his internal organs!

"Impossible! How did they find me?!"

Because only you, under my magic, haven't become a stone 'suitable for skipping stones'. Guan Yi had no desire to explain to him, and without any hesitation, bent down and struck Calvin's head.

The ground shattered under the weight once more, and the fist that should have smashed Calvin's head missed its mark. Calvin, who was beneath Guan Yi's feet, vanished without a trace.

As an assassin, the ability to miss a strike and escape a great distance is essential, and Calvin does not rely solely on his divine rune talent.

Upon entering the secret realm, his first action was to recreate a teleportation spell he had mastered in previous secret realms. When his divine rune talent was broken by Guan Yi's saturation attack and unknown methods, he immediately switched to this move.

However, having only been in the secret realm for less than a year, he did not possess the same level of magic as Guan Yi. He simply swapped the position of a stone a dozen meters away with himself, and without a moment's delay, he transformed into a pebble and rolled down into the crack in the ground that Guan Yi had broken!
'Cough cough... Let's run, damn it, this bastard is as strong as if he's been in this secret realm for ten years...'

"Tudun - Tuliu Castle!"

Rumbling--

When the earthen wall, as vast as a city wall, rose from the ground and lifted Calvin back up, this demon who had fought against countless human rune warriors and divine rune warriors was momentarily stunned.

Forbidden-spell-like fire magic, forbidden-spell-like earth magic, forbidden-spell-like superhuman strength magic, supernatural self-healing magic, and extremely rare storage and instantaneous burst magic...

Hey, this is really interesting.

Boom!!
Calvin was once again trampled underfoot by Guan Yi, his true colors revealed!

Black blood flowed from his mouth as if it were free. He did not activate his divine rune talent again, and his lost physical strength and magic power could no longer support him to use teleportation. He just stared at Guan Yi with wide eyes, as if he wanted to imprint Guan Yi's face into the depths of his soul.

bang——
