Otherwise, you can find another savior.

When his upward force was exhausted and he began to descend from the air, Reinek raised one hand.

The magic power gathered in the palm of his hand in an instant, and then compressed and shot out as a beam of purple light.

A pure magical attack, no chanting, no preparation required. As the innate ability of the atavistic Yaling, Reinek's palm at this moment turned into a turret that fired beam cannons, continuously bombarding Shiomi.

The ground around them exploded one after another, and thick dust obscured the view.

Just as Reinek was about to press on with his victory, he suddenly felt a weight on his back.

"Fall."

The leader of the Fang Fairies fell to the ground at Shiomi's voice, creating a big hole half a meter deep. Shiomi was sitting on Reinek's back.

"When..." Reinek's eyes trembled wildly, and he didn't see clearly what happened.

Shiomi, however, seemed to be resting, pressing heavily on Reinek, preventing him from getting up.

"One question, have you ever killed a goblin?"

"I've killed him." Reinek tried to break free, but he couldn't.

"What about humans?"

"Same."

"Then...what about Yaling?" Xijian suddenly changed the subject.

Reinecke was stunned by the question, he didn't understand what Shiomi was thinking.

The man propped his chin on one hand, resting it on his knee. "Two thousand years ago, I killed three Fan Yalings, from the Fang Clan, the Wind Clan, and the Wing Clan. You and the Fang Clan Fan Yaling, while you may look different, your strength and fighting styles are similar."

"It's... you?" Reinek was shocked.

He had always been curious about how the previous generation of Fan Yaling died in battle, but he could not find any specific information.

Could it really be this human?

A human being who has lived for 2000 years?

Suddenly, Reinek's body felt lighter, and Xijian landed outside the small pit, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

"This is a rare opportunity to meet Yaling from the Fang Clan. Let me teach you a lesson and help you understand the sins committed by the Fang Clan, Yaling."

Shiomi held up a finger, and magic energy began to fill him.

Reinecke, who had already stood up and distanced himself, immediately raised his arms to prepare for defense after noticing this.

Was it a magical bombardment, or a melee with magical power? Reinecke still didn't know Shiomi's fighting style.

"'It accumulates like rain, it gathers like dust; it melts like snow, it fades like a lie. This is the hope you have shelved, this is the sin you have lost to time. Now, I will reveal its true nature.'"

Shiomi chanted slowly.

"The inherent barrier unfolds, 'Eternal Orkney'."

Magic is the power that moves the world.

As the incantation was completed, a bitingly cold air swept across the wilderness.

Chapter 55: Shiomi's Inherent Barrier

The spell that Shiomi chanted clearly changed the world.

——Ice blades tear the earth apart.

Wandering across the wilderness, like a cold boundary.

The cold fog filled the field of vision, covering the entire field, and the surroundings instantly transformed into a different world.

Fang Aling Reinecke, who did not know any magic, looked at the changes before her in astonishment.

"The Inherent Boundary, a great forbidden spell that erodes reality with mental landscapes. Thanks to you, I have finally completed the transformation of this magecraft."

Xijian stood in the wind and snow, and the voice came from afar.

Shiomi, who originally did not have the ability to imagine landscapes, simply constructed a barrier magic of his own based on the original rune and the inherent barrier he had seen before.

The essence is to create a space that is favorable to oneself, so that one can gain the upper hand whether it is a magic battle or a hand-to-hand combat.

It is more advanced than ordinary barrier magic, but it cannot reach the level of an inherent barrier.

At that time, after witnessing the completion of this magic, Morgan named it "Eternal Orkney". Shiomi didn't know why she named this magic herself.

It was not until he entered the fairy kingdom, came to this era, and experienced many things that he finally understood.

For a magician, a name is a hint.

In this way, Morgan hinted to him in advance that he would closely associate his enchantment magic with the name of Orkney.

When Xi Jian witnessed the destruction of Orkney with his own eyes, this connection was completely formed. It gradually condensed over the past 2000 years and eventually became the landscape of his mind.

Thus, barrier magic was officially elevated to an inherent barrier.

"Something like the fairy realm?" Reinek judged.

Fairyland.

Fairies at the level of "Great Father" and "Great Mother", or even Aling who has acquired her own will, possess the ability to change the world with her "own truth".

The "truth of oneself" is the essence of the fairy itself.

It is a great mystery held by powerful fairies.

The Wing Clan leader who was once killed by Shiomi, that Fan Yaling, possesses a fairy domain that can weaken all targets within the domain, making himself the absolute master of the domain.

After that, every time Shiomi thought of the battle that night, he thought that the most dangerous opponent was Wing Aling.

"No, it's different."

Shiomi smiled faintly.

For a magician to complete the inherent barrier, both qualifications and opportunity are often indispensable.

As for the inherent barrier itself, most of them can only be possessed by beings who are elevated to heroic spirits after death.

Fairies are born with this ability, it’s just a matter of the strength of their abilities.

"No matter whether you are the same or not, you think you can defeat me with just your domain?" Reinek raised his claws and accumulated magic power again.

"Don't you understand yet?" Xijian's voice turned cold.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the not-so-violent cold wind blew across Reinek's body, turning into a hard, irregular iceberg that froze his body in an instant.

"Freeze?" The magic power accumulated by Reinek dissipated in an instant.

There are fairies who can use freezing abilities, but compared to the current situation, they are nothing.

The extremely cold magic not only froze Reinecke's body, who was a reverted Aling, from the outside, but also interfered with his control of magic, so that his familiar magic attacks were interrupted.

Although the iceberg that freezes the body is hard, it is not indestructible. If you fail to control the situation well, the frozen part of the body will be shattered into pieces as the iceberg collapses.

The damage to the body and the extremely cold magic approaching the body will slow down even the recovery of the Star Lungs.

Even just one more breath of time can lead to defeat.

"So!"

Reinek gritted his teeth and growled like a lone wolf.

He changed his mind and began to activate the magic power in his body, instantly raising his body temperature to a level high enough to melt the ice.

However, just as some of the ice melted into water, Reinek discovered that countless ice cones appeared in the sky.

"Ice cones are everywhere." Xijian snapped his fingers.

Those icicles fell like a rainstorm, causing a series of roars. The snow dust was blown up five or six meters high, and Reinek's figure could not be seen on the ice field for a while.

Shiomi smiled with satisfaction.

After his inherent barrier was completed, its greatest feature was that he could perform all the magic of the Age of Gods that he was proficient in without any steps.

This is his inner world, his own world.

So he is the master of this world.

However, there are also disadvantages.

Among the four elemental magics, magic that manipulates the water element consumes almost no magic power, the consumption of wind and earth is only halved, and the consumption of fire is doubled.

Fortunately, Xijian prefers the first three magic elements, so it is not a big problem.

When the snow dust cleared, Reinek knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, holding up his body that had lost his arms and right leg.

With a painful roar, Fang Aling's arms and legs grew back, and he stood up from the ground firmly.

"Star Lungs, what a remarkable regenerative ability, comparable to the power of God." Xijian applauded. "As expected of the extremities and tentacles of a planet, it truly possesses a unique quality."

"Your attack method is powerful, but it's meaningless if you can't kill me." Reinek crossed his arms, and the magic power on his body fluctuated more violently.

Shiomi raised his hand slightly, and the ice turned into rotating saw blades that attacked continuously. Then the extremely cold magic power condensed into a beam of light and went straight to Reinek's body.

This time, the attacks were still effective, but they couldn't restrain Reinek like before. He broke free from the ice without a scratch.

The Guangjiang in front of him surprised Xijian a little.

"Inherited Defense".

Another ability possessed by fairies.

The ability to effectively hit a target's defenses without adding certain conditions.

This is a type of "Concept Defense" with conditions attached.

A strong enough defense can even avoid world-destroying level damage.

As for the inherited defense that Reinek was currently displaying, Shiomi deduced that it was just as the other party had claimed.

The condition is simple: "If the attack is not enough to kill you in one blow, you cannot hurt yourself."

"Are you ready to risk your life? Do you really not want to lose? Or do you not want the clan to surrender?" Xijian stretched out his hand from his sleeve and reached out to catch the snow and ice.

Reinek's breath turned into a thick white mist, which showed how intense the temperature in his body was at that moment.

"It doesn't matter what you do. Fighting means risking your life. The strong survive, the weak die."

The snowy ground beneath my feet was deeply sunken.

Blinking slowly once, Shiomi's grip tightened slightly: "Then I'll satisfy you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Reinek suddenly rushed out, but disappeared in an instant after only a distance of about twenty meters.

Yasuno Arin swung her claws towards Shiomi.

Chapter 56: The Victory is Determined

Reinek was determined to strike a winning blow, but he didn't feel the sound of claws tearing flesh.

Shiomi's body was completely shattered, yet she didn't fall. It was like a mirror shattered into a thousand pieces, frozen in mid-air. Countless snowflakes scattered from the shattered mirrors, quickly tangling together.

not good!

Reinecke realized he had been duped.

The one who had been talking to him from a while ago was not the sage himself, but a substitute.

The broken body lost its color and turned into colorless shards of ice, which then gathered and shrank into a fist-sized glowing ice ball.

A tremendous explosion of magical power occurred in an instant, and Reinecke tried his best to dodge.

An explosion, powerful enough to kill instantly, swept across the ice field. Reinek's body rolled on the ground more than a dozen times before coming to a stop. He climbed up, gasping for breath in horror.

Inherited Defense and Star Lungs.

The former can resist non-lethal attacks, while the latter can bring the dead back to life.

Combined with the two, Reinecke has the confidence that he cannot be killed.

However, he just felt fear.

Such an attack is enough to kill with one blow, and the sage may be able to repeat it again and again.

You can dodge it once, but what about more than once?

What if the next fatal injury comes before you recover from the previous one?
