Chapter 189: The Broken Magic Inheritance
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
After a long time, the star remained light.
"No one has been transported out, and there is still a possibility of rising!"
"Another genius of terrifying talent!"
"I wonder who it could be? How far can it climb?!"
Countless people chattered excitedly, their faces filled with excitement and antic.i.p.ation.
It was rare to have such an opportunity to witness the birth of a genius.
The red-robed bishop looked dumbfounded at the pillar of stars, blinked and spoke, "My Lord, could it be?"
"Impossible!"
Pryce"s eyes widened as she interrupted the red-robed bishop through clenched teeth.
If the one who lit the Star was really Joelson, seven days into the Land of Inheritance, it would be less than seven months in the Land of Inheritance.
It was simply terrifying.
An even more terrifying talent than Franklin or Oswald.
Beating Pryce to death wouldn"t be believable.
Unless.
Joelson had risen to the holy rank in the Land of Inheritance!
Pryce"s expression suddenly turned fierce as a golden badge emanating a holy white light emerged from his hand and was fiercely shoved into the red-robed bishop"s hand.
"Just in the name of the Pope, gather three more Holy Orders over for me!"
A look of shock appeared on the red-robed bishop"s face, and he opened his mouth to say, "Lord Pryce."
"Did you not hear what I said?!"
"Yes!"
The red-robed bishop hurriedly lowered his head and left in a hurry.
Only Pryce was left looking at the faintly glowing star on the pillar of stars, his eyes constantly flickering.

"Lord Joelson."
The young knight greeted Joelson with a respectful look.
Joelson nodded slightly and with a raise of his hand, dropped large piles of fishy, broken body parts.
"Please help me count the merits."
"Aye."
The young knight counted the bits and pieces on the ground carefully, a look of horror in his eyes.
"The teeth of a h.e.l.lhound, the eyes of an abyssal spider, the tail of a demon lion …"
When all the items were counted, the look of respect on the young knight"s face grew thicker.
"Lord Joelson, the total is five thousand seven hundred and forty-eight merit points."
Joelson smiled faintly and looked up.
On the magic light screen, the merit points behind Joelson Edward"s name rose wildly by a cut, and his ranking rapidly shot up.
9,567th.
Surprisingly, he had already squeezed into the top 10,000.
If one knew that it had only been seven months since he had entered the Land of Inheritance, the merit points for the top 10,000 would have to be at least 30,000 points.
"This time, the merit points should be enough to exchange for a magic tome."
Joelson said in a low voice under his breath, quickly turning around to leave.
Behind him, several human knights gathered around, discussing excitedly.
"Is this Lord Joelson, the latest to rise to prominence in our human race?!"
"That"s right, in just under half a year, he has soared from over 70,000 on the merit list to within 10,000, his talent is simply terrifying."
"The most terrifying thing is his pets, right? I know that he has two ancient dragons of the saint rank as his battle partners!"
"Right! That"s why many people call Lord Joellson the Dragon Master!"
In the middle of a room.
"The Metal Magic Inheritance Codex, the Electricity Magic Inheritance Codex, and the Qi Magic Inheritance Codex."
Joelson held three magic crystals of different colors in his hands, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"A magic inheritance that is almost extinct in the Southern Domain can be exchanged for only fifteen hundred merit points in the Land of Heritage, the difference is too great."
Spirituality probed into the magic inheritance crystal, and when Joelson opened his eyes again, his eyes brightened.
The power of all three types of magic was going to exceed his own imagination.
Before receiving the inheritance, Joelson had attached metallic magical elements to his body surface, causing a hardening-like effect that had a definite boost to his defence.
Only now did he realise how crude his use of it in this way was.
The greatest effect of metal-based magic was - enchantment.
Joelson tried to cast a "s.h.i.+ning robe" on a mage"s robe, and the silk robe was immediately coated with a metallic element, turning it into a golden s.h.i.+mmer. 1
The texture was still soft and light, but the defence was comparable to that of fine knight"s armor.
There are also st.u.r.diness and sharpness spells.
They can easily turn a broken and dull sword into a sharp and hard killing weapon.
The metal-based attack magic is equally terrifying.
Metal binding: can instantly make an opponent"s weapon or armor several times or even dozens of times heavier.
Throw one at a relatively weak wizard and many may not even be able to carry their staff.
There is also metal rusting and metal melting.
Rust melts the enemy"s weapons and equipment and burns them.
Before the higher ranks, metal magicians were powerful, but also extremely dependent on their opponents.
If they encounter an opponent who does not wear metal equipment on their body, the metal mage"s lethality is drastically reduced.
However, once promoted to the higher ranks, the metal mage is even more terrifying than the elemental mage.
Level 9 Metal Magic: Torrent of Destruction.
A searing molten metal is ejected from the fingertips.
Even the tenth level metal spell after the Saint rank: Ultimate Alchemy.
It can transform a flesh and blood body into a lifeless metal statue, ignoring most defences, and is extremely terrifying.
A bolt of lightning leapt from Joelson"s hand, cutting deep scorch marks on the ground.
The lightning arrows and chain lightning of the Electricity system are also very powerful, and although they are not as powerful as the three fusion magic, they are much faster to release and have a paralysing effect on the enemy.
Air magic is more of a support system.
There is also a level 7 magic called Insight, which is a divine technique under the Saint rank.
It can fully explore the environment within a large area around itself.
In the past few months, Joelson had met many qi magicians, most of whom were used as scouts in the group.
After successfully acquiring the three-system magic heritage, Joelson"s strength did not increase too significantly, but the richness of his means of fighting the enemy had greatly increased, and his overall strength had in effect increased by more than one step.
"With another month or so of uninterrupted daily meditation, plus a recent harvest from the Dragon G.o.d Ranch s.p.a.ce, I should be able to successfully advance to the Saint rank."
Joelson"s eyes flickered as he whispered to himself, "By then, it will be possible to try, like Frank and Claire, the super geniuses at the top of the merit list, to go deep behind the demon army to hunt."
"Well…"
The pale sound of a horn rang out in the sky.
Joelson immediately stood up and walked toward the outside of the camp.
Dozens of warriors with straight bodies stood in front of him, nervously and respectfully calling out to him, "Captain!"
Joelson nodded slightly, his legendary staff appeared in his hand and walked quickly toward the city walls.
"Prepare to meet the battle!"
"Aye!"
Once again, the army of demons attacked, and countless magicians and warriors converged on them.
Beneath the city walls was an army of demonic creatures that came like a raging tide.
