Spellcasting Gods

"Don't just stand there! Make your move! This area is affected by the Earth's core force field. As spellcasters, they can't exert any power at all."

After a brief exchange, every member of the team was overjoyed and rushed forward without hesitation, trying to capture the two boys and bring them back unharmed, thus becoming heroes envied by everyone.

Don't underestimate this point!

Once you obtain such a title, you will receive a significant advantage, whether you choose to stay in the military, return to your home planet for further studies, or eventually enter the council.

Moreover, the enormous bounty offered by the council alone is enough to drive most of the Darrents mad.

But no one noticed that at the end of the tunnel not far away, a huge creature was silently lurking there, ready to devour everything within several kilometers in a matter of seconds with a single charge.

Chapter 1385 Complex Emotions

"I really don't know whether to admire your courage or laugh at your stupidity..."

Watching the enemies rapidly disperse and surround them from all directions, and the spellcaster who carried a suppression field device and stood still chanting a spell, the boy's face revealed undisguised sarcasm.

next second...

He simply inscribed a symbol in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous creature that had remained still burst out from the dark corner with the force of a thunderbolt!

boom!

Absolutely no surprises!

Its enormous size generated such a powerful impact that it instantly turned more than half of the reconnaissance team members into mincemeat.

But that's not the scariest part!

The most terrifying thing is that a terrifying gravity always surrounds the body of the clay life form.

Before the caster could even react to what was happening, the bones supporting his body cracked with a crisp sound, and he fell to the ground in terror and despair, experiencing the severe consequences of the energy backlash.

In the blink of an eye, the confident Darrent exploration team was completely wiped out, not a single member was left standing.

"No! No! No! What... what kind of monster is this? Why is it obeying your commands? You shouldn't be able to cast powerful spells!"

With only half a breath left, the team leader stared wide-eyed, desperately trying to see clearly the "opponent" who had killed him before he died.

In his established imagery, such a massive elemental life form would absolutely require hundreds or even thousands of the most elite Darrent spellcasters to gather together and perform complex magical rituals lasting for hours or even weeks.

Under the influence of the Earth's core force field, let alone a magical ritual of this magnitude, even magic weakened a hundredfold would be extremely difficult to complete.

It is precisely because of these limitations that the expeditionary force was repeatedly overwhelmed by the endless human waves of its opponents. Otherwise, under the massive, widespread magical attacks, no backward civilization could withstand the expeditionary force for more than a few months.

“Magic? You think my power comes from magic? Fool! My power comes from knowledge, from a clever mind, and from always calm and rational judgment. Even under unfavorable conditions, I can find a way to turn the tide. You, who are used to solving problems with brute force, simply cannot understand this.” The boy extended a finger and gently tapped his temple.

He made no attempt to conceal the contempt in his eyes, just as the Darents viewed the inferior races they enslaved.

Under the gaze of those deep black eyes, the team leader felt an intense, deep-seated fear, as if an incomparably powerful god had seen through his body and directly into all the secrets of his soul.

Filled with pain, resentment, and fear, he slowly breathed his last.

"You seem to have rather complex and profound feelings towards the Darrent civilization?" Luke asked with interest.

The boy chuckled and shrugged. "Maybe. After all, since birth, I've been learning and absorbing the Darrent people's ideas, values, and worldview. You could say that half of who I am today is a legacy from my past life, and the other half comes from this civilization. Do you know why I haven't given myself a name yet?"

"Why?" Luke asked cooperatively.

"Of course, it's so that after the complete destruction of the Darrent civilization, I can give myself a resounding name on the ruins of my home planet, according to their tradition. Only by bidding farewell to the past can we fully devote ourselves to the future. This is both an ancient Darrent proverb and my deepest obsession."

When the boy said these words, his tone revealed an unusual seriousness and persistence.

For him, the Darrent civilization was a shadow looming over his heart, and as long as it remained, he could not find peace of mind.

Therefore, whether driven by rational or emotional needs, the Darrents are destined for destruction.

"Understood! I will help you complete the entire plan." Luke nodded slightly, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

Just as the two were about to open up and have some in-depth conversation, a blinding light suddenly shot out from the end of the passage and struck the clay life form's thick body.

moment!

Skin strong enough to withstand the sharpest magical weapons was actually cut open with a gash ten meters deep.

Immediately afterward, one after another, old men exuding astonishing auras slowly emerged from the dark corner.

It goes without saying that they are senior members of parliament, including the speaker, each of whom can be described as a "big shot".

The powerful light we just received came from the staff in the Speaker's hand that shimmered with a white, eerie light.

“Ah! You’ve finally arrived. Just a few minutes ago, my brother and I were discussing how long the council would endure this, and we didn’t expect them to take action so quickly.” The boy bowed politely, placing one hand on his chest.

"Put down your weapons and come back with us. You've lived on your home planet for twelve years; you should know how powerful the Darrent civilization is. Unless you die, you have no chance of escape." The Speaker didn't waste any words and delivered his ultimatum directly.

As the situation rapidly spiraled out of control, the pressure on him increased, and he might be forced to step down at any moment.

If that day really comes, no matter how many measures and countermeasures are taken afterward, they will all become meaningless.

Therefore, his goal was very simple: to act swiftly and decisively, and to take down the two boys who had come into his sight.

As for the rest, we'll consider it slowly after we return to our home planet.

“Powerful? Is that how you view the Darrent civilization? No! It’s not as powerful as you imagine! In fact, it’s quite fragile, like an egg encased in a hard shell. Once you crack the outermost shell, what’s inside is nothing to fear. Now, what I need to do is be the first to crack that shell.”

The words had barely left his mouth!

With lightning speed, the boy wrote a series of mysterious symbols in the air.

next second...

As if receiving a strong external stimulus, the clay life form began to twist its body wildly, rampaging through the passage, destroying and devouring all life forms it could sense.

"It seems you've made the wrong choice! Fine, we'll make you pay for your arrogance and ignorance. Next, you'll face the most powerful group of spellcasters in the entire Darrent civilization—the Council!"

Chapter 1386 Cage of Light

Without a doubt, if the entire Darent civilization were likened to an egg, then the council would be the yolk, which contains all the essence of the egg.

Although the parliament has always maintained a size of around thirty members, it has neither expanded nor reduced.

But the power they possess is almost greater than all the other spellcasters combined.

As long as the internal conflicts among these thirty people are kept within a certain range, no matter how fiercely the lower-class people riot, it will not affect the existing order and distribution of benefits. Even if more than half of the expeditionary force rebels, they can calmly formulate plans and quell the rebellion little by little.

In their eyes, the only true rivals and enemies are each other; everyone else is just a tool or pawn to be used.

However, the fact that the two boys killed one of the councilors in the previous raid made everyone present realize that they had to deal with this trouble that threatened their lives, or something similar could very well happen again.

It is precisely because of this consensus that the members of parliament, who have split into two factions, have not broken off relations and have maintained a superficial obedience to the speaker.

Admiring these "big shots" standing at the pinnacle of power and influence, the boy gently stroked the enormous creature lying on the spot like a pet, grinned, and said, "Then let the game begin!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

A massive device designed to suppress the Earth's magnetic field was quickly put into operation with the combined efforts of several councilors.

In the blink of an eye, the force field that was originally everywhere was suppressed to its lowest point.

Even every spellcaster could feel the jubilant energy of magic permeating the air.

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, the speaker raised his hand and unleashed thousands of dazzling, multicolored beams of light.

These beams of light collided and refracted at extremely high speeds in the air, eventually converging together and surrounding the area from all directions like a net.

"A cage of light?!"

The boy's pupils suddenly contracted.

As a child who grew up on the home planet Darrent, he had heard of the name of this powerful spell, but had never had the opportunity to obtain the corresponding spell model.

Because this is a unique form of magic, no one can glimpse the secrets behind these magical beams until the creator voluntarily gives them up or dies.

"Oh? You actually recognized it!" The speaker's face showed a surprised expression.

After all, he had only used this spell a few times since it was invented, and even among the councilors, very few had actually seen it used.

But now, the other party actually gave the name of the spell at the first glance, without wavering or hesitating at all.

"Of course! Otherwise, why would I dare to say something as arrogant as destroying the Darrent civilization? You should know that I am extremely serious and intend to take concrete actions to make it a reality."

Watching the light net tighten, the boy showed no sign of panic. Instead, he used alchemy to create a wooden stick and gently touched a gap in the light net.

Buzz!

Accompanied by a tremor that defies description, the entire wooden stick underwent a series of complex and astonishing changes.

The parts that were exposed to the green light seemed to receive external stimulation and began to grow rapidly, even sprouting tender branches and leaves.

Touching the yellow part causes it to wither and decay at a visible speed, eventually turning into a clump of foreign matter that emits a pungent odor.

In addition to these, there is the burning caused by red light, the electric current generated by blue light, the engulfing effect of black light, the decomposition of violet light, and so on...

Almost every color of light represents a certain magical attribute or the power of rules.

Faced with such a complex binding spell, the best option is generally to stay put and not make any unnecessary movements.

Otherwise, no one knows what will happen after touching it.

Even more terrifying is that whenever two colors of light intersect, entirely new colors and properties may be created.

Faced with such a complex and ever-changing spell model, 99.9% of people would panic, unable to find a way to break it, and could only watch helplessly as their range of movement shrank, ultimately choosing to surrender out of desperation.

Unfortunately, the two boys were clearly not ordinary.

Luke, who was particularly sensitive to energy, kept moving his eyes across the dazzling light network. Before anyone else could realize what was happening, he raised his hand and precisely shot one magical rune after another into the node.

In less than thirty seconds, this powerful magic that had caused countless Darrentians headaches began to collapse right before everyone's eyes.

When the cage of light shrank to ten meters from the tribe, it suddenly emitted a piercing sound.

next second...

With a snap, it shattered into millions of tiny orbs of light, which slowly floated in mid-air.

It goes without saying that these orbs of light are the residual energy after the spell model collapsed, and they may even carry some kind of attribute power.

However, their power is far too weak to pose a threat to truly powerful spellcasters.

"You're the baby who disappeared from our home planet twelve years ago?"

The Speaker stared intently at Luke's still-childish face, his tone filled with undisguised surprise.
