Chapter 140: Absolute Zero
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Everyone, gather behind me immediately.”
The North Wind mercenary group leader, Ron, shouted. His fellow group members and also mages from the Mage Guild immediately ran behind him; they wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads in shock.
The astrologer hovered in the sky; he had already used his magic staff that had the Sun Gem to release a huge fireball with a radius of several hundred meters. It was meant to block the crack that connected them to the other world. The demonic dragon inside the crack let out an ineffectual and furious roar, but he could only watch as the tunnel disappeared.
After he did all that, the astrologer descended to the ground.
The huge rock giant that he had summoned was like watery mud with the dragon. Its hard body became soft, and the surface of its body emitted a green light with a faint stench.
He waved his staff again to disperse the rock giant. A thick black cloud appeared above the astrologer’s head, and it rained with a sweet smell; it thinned and drained the foul-smelling liquid on the ground.
“Mysterious Master, since you’re not using the new spell that changed the structure of the world, then I will no longer be so courteous.”
The astrologer tapped the ground with the staff in his hand and began to chant.
“One person can form a formation, and one person can form an army. The water elements scattered in the world; please listen to my call. Be an invincible arrow and destroy everything in front of you! Platinum-tier water-elemental spell—Sky River Arrow Rain!”
As his voice fell, an endless river floated above the astrologer’s head. Sky-blue arrows emerged from the river and streaked across the sky in the direction of Blackmoon Castle; the rain of arrows whooshed along the way, and it gave people a sense of dread when they looked at it.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, no one would be able to stop the rain of arrows, not to mention that it was a spell condensed from water elements. Its power was comparable to the full-strength attack of a gold-tier warrior, and it could easily cut through gold and iron.
The areas around Blackmoon Castle that were still burning or had not been affected by the flames were utterly destroyed by the rain of arrows. The burning houses collapsed with a loud bang and turned into ashes. The buildings that had been fine were also riddled with holes and turned into ruins.
Meanwhile, at Blackmoon Castle, the Golden Flash opened its mouth and once again activated the light-elemental platinum-tier spell—the Ninth-level Blazing Heavenly Dragon Breath. Nine thick and long pillars of light cleared more than half of the arrows. The combined efforts blocked the remaining ones.
Chi!
One of the Blackmoon Knights brandished his sword with all his might and blocked a water-elemental arrow that was headed toward him rapidly. However, the second arrow pierced through his shoulder.
Crack!
The silver-tier longsword in the other Blackmoon Knight’s hand collided with the water-elemental arrow, and it shattered into pieces. He immediately spread his arms to protect the two-winged liger and the Blackmoon Castle behind him. The sky-blue arrows smashed the armor on his chest into pieces; his skin was severely mutilated.
One by one, the Blackmoon Knights used their bodies to block that spell. They fought to the death without retreating. Everyone gritted their teeth; their eyes filled with conviction.
They did all of that for Young Master Watson and Blackmoon Castle. They would not regret it even if they died.
“Money Amplification!”
At that moment, they heard a young voice.
A golden light descended from the sky onto their bodies; their bodies felt warm. The injuries on their bodies healed rapidly.
The Great Sin Mask included an element of Greed’s ability, and that was to increase money.
As long as one consumed money, one could increase their body’s ability, including the ability to heal. The more money one consumed, the greater the skill. Watson had used 10,000 gold coins to heal those knights.
Fortunately, his family was wealthy. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand that kind of consumption.
“Young Master Watson?”
The knights realized that it was Watson who had helped them with their treatment. At that moment, Watson wore a seductive mask, and his face, which looked more exquisite than a woman’s, had an inexplicable draw. He nodded at them.
“It was Young Master Watson who helped everyone to heal their injuries. Thank you, Young Master.”
“Let’s continue to charge ahead! We do not need to be afraid as we have Young Master here.”
The Blackmoon Knights roared furiously as they spread the combat aura wings on their backs. They tried their best to fight against the rain of arrows that poured from the sky.
After Watson swept his gaze across the Blackmoon Knights, he cast his gaze toward the sky. The endless rain of arrows reflected in his azure eyes. “Petrification Magic Eye, activate.”
His eyes turned into colorless chaos. A giant illusory eyeball appeared behind his back as invisible ripples spread out in all directions. All the arrows that were touched by the waves gathered in the air and turned into stones.
That was a spell he had obtained after he fused with the Primordial Demoness. Even though it was only a gold-tier skill, the strange power still made the arrow rain in the sky pause.
Then Watson touched the mask on his face and activated Sloth’s spell, Invisible Hand, and Greed’s spell, Good Luck.
The former made countless invisible arms of combat aura grow out of his back, and they grabbed onto the arrows that fell from the sky to wear them down. The latter gave him good luck—it caused a portion of the arrows to deviate from their trajectory.
With his help, the pressure of the platinum-tier spell dropped drastically, and the Blackmoon Knights were able to handle it. The magic in the sky dissipated gradually, and the majority of the Blackmoon Knights remained where they were. Some of them were sent to the castle by the maidservants to treat their injuries. Blackmoon Castle’s walls were filled with sky-blue water-elemental arrows that flowed down.
“It seems that the enemy has a platinum-tier mage and not just any ordinary platinum-tier mage!”
Watson looked at the scene around him; his heart burned with anger.
Even though he had used the system to fuse most of the things in Blackmoon Town, it did not mean that they had come easily. It had taken him a lot of effort to build that up from his humble home.
However, the other party had destroyed all of those in one go. He could not bear it.
“The Great Sin Mask carries platinum-tier magic. Primordial Demoness Summon, activate!”
As soon as his voice fell, the feminine mask on his face squirmed, and a strange murmur came faintly from within it. Squirming eyeb.a.l.l.s surrounded him with black gas as they floated around him. They were embedded in his clothes and continued to rotate. When the eyeb.a.l.l.s appeared, the thick black smoke gathered around him and turned into a giant that was dozens of meters tall. It was the same as the projection that Watson had seen in the Demoness Bandit Gang’s stronghold, or perhaps even more real.
After the Primordial Demoness’ projection appeared, she immediately stepped forward; it caused the ground to tremble. A huge pit appeared with each step she took, and she headed straight in the direction of the Mage Guild and the others.
“Platinum-tier earth-elemental magic, summon the rock giant!”
The Mage Guild was not willing to be outdone. Soon, a similar rock giant rose from the earth.
Watson turned his head toward the Golden Flash, who was flying in the sky and gave an order. “Golden Flash, activate your strongest magic and bombard the distance for me.”
Roar!
The Golden Flash opened its mouth. All the platinum scales on her body glowed as an invisible cold wind gathered around her. The world seemed to slow down, and the dust in the air seemed to flow with the gentlest breeze. Then, it spat out a beam of pure white light.
Anything that the light touched, even the air, was frozen. A long, frozen bridge appeared in the sky; it extended from the Blackmoon Castle to the direction of the Mage Guild.
After the Golden Flash evolved, its strongest magic was Absolute Zero, which can fuse light, darkness, fire, and earth.
That move could freeze s.p.a.ce and even time. It was considered the most powerful amongst the platinum-tier spells. The land turned white as the spell was on its way toward the Mage Guild. The rock giant that collided with the Primordial Demoness’ projection had also turned into a giant ice sculpture.
