Chapter 667: Semi-Perfect Supermagic
Chapter 667: Semi-Perfect Supermagic
"Damn..."
Joseph looked at the multitude of magic soldiers, their numbers far surpassing his own force, and each one capable of wielding magic with power akin to that of a mage. A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Gritting his teeth, he glared at Mebis, raising his wand. "You little brat... Where did you get such power? Die!"
Buzz!!!
A dark light radiated from his wand, hurtling towards Mebis.
"To release such a large-scale magic, you must have consumed a significant amount of magical power yourself!"
Boom!!
Mebis raised her small hand, and a gigantic magic array appeared before her, as if entwined with phoenix flames, directly blocking Joseph's attack.
Mebis stood there, her hands outstretched towards Joseph, her gaze calm and steady. "Your assessment is correct. I have indeed consumed a large amount of magical power, but even with just the remaining power, it is still more than enough to counter your attacks."
"Arrogant!"
Joseph roared, waving his wand to continue casting spells at Mebis.
Mebis, from a distance, clashed with Joseph, her golden phoenix magic, entwined with flames, colliding with Joseph's dark magic in a series of explosions that occurred every ten meters.
On the other side.
The magic soldiers, facing the numerous mages of the Green Skull Guild, quickly gained the upper hand and soon established a crushing advantage.
If the mages of the Green Skull had fought with all their might, desperately holding their ground, they might have lasted longer, but just as no sane person would willingly fight to the death with a madman, no mage was willing to do the same with these magically created soldiers!
"Wow... This is amazing..."
Yuri and Prechito, disguised among the magic soldiers, were stunned.
None of them had anticipated Mebis to possess such immense magical power. This adorable girl was an incredibly powerful mage!
"Yuri, I don't think we can be of much help here," said Voro, his eyes still reflecting the shock of what he had witnessed as he looked towards Yuri.
Yuri took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and glanced towards the interior of the Green Skull Guild's building. His eyes glinted with a sudden idea.
"Let's go," he whispered.
Yuri, along with Prechito and Voro, stealthily made their way towards the Green Skull Guild's building, blending in with the magic soldiers.
Not long after the trio entered the guild, the mages of the Green Skull Guild were completely overwhelmed and crushed by the magic soldiers, who knocked them all to the ground.
A large number of magic soldiers also surrounded Joseph, their leader.
At this moment, Mebis's forehead glistened with a faint sheen of perspiration, indicating that fighting solo against an entire dark guild wasn't exactly effortless for her at this point. However, her gaze remained unwaveringly calm and composed, as the entire battle had largely unfolded according to her calculations.
While she couldn't manipulate each magic soldier individually, dividing them into several squads and controlling them separately was a simple task for her.
This was her innate talent.
Even Feng Ye couldn't help but marvel at her ability to manipulate and analyze; in his previous world, Mebis could have single-handedly controlled five computers and defeated any top-tier team.
"...Damn it..."
In the end, Joseph was unable to defeat Mebis. He stood there, disheveled and battered by her magic, leaning on his wand for support, trying to muster one last act of defiance. But it was all in vain as the magic soldiers quickly restrained him with their crossed spears.
Joseph, restrained, looked at Mebis, his eyes reflecting a hint of reluctance. With difficulty, he said, "You win. I will disband my guild and leave this place."
Mebis regarded him calmly. "Distribute the wealth you've plundered to the townspeople. And return the Sirius Orb you took from Sirius Island to me."
"You... You're the one calling the shots now," Joseph panted. "So, you're from Sirius Island? But that Sirius Orb is a dangerous artifact. You..."
Just as he was about to say something more, Yuri and the other two emerged from the ruined guild building. Yuri held a gem-like sphere in his hand—the long-lost Sirius Orb—but it seemed to be tainted by a faint trace of dark magic.
"Mebis, we found it!" Yuri exclaimed, tossing the orb lightly and flashing a smile at Mebis. "I never expected you to be such a powerful mage. Just so you know, I won't be competing with you in a battle of magic later."
"Huh?"
Yuri glanced at Joseph oddly and replied, "Are you crazy? This is our hard-earned loot. Why should we throw it away?"
Joseph anxiously yelled back, "That's not some ordinary treasure... It's dangerous! It has absorbed a vast amount of dark magic and is now beyond control! If a human comes into contact with it, they will be dominated by its power!"
"Hey, don't try to scare us with such petty tricks..."
Yuri scoffed and tossed the Sirius Orb in his hand, but at that moment, the orb erupted with dazzling light, interrupting his words.
Buzz!!!
Dark magic energy surged and spread in all directions.
The Sirius Orb had originally been a treasure that guarded the island and possessed an extremely strong protective ability. Typically, it would be challenging for an average mage to break through the barrier it created. However, about a few decades ago, it had been tainted by the dark magic power of Jellal, who had traveled to Sirius Island!
"Ah... Ahhh... Ahhhh!"
Yuri's face contorted in shock as he beheld the radiant light in his hand. He tried to throw away the Sirius Orb, but it was too late. In an instant, he was enveloped by the light and let out a painful scream as if the world had been submerged in the light of dark magic.
Mebis also exclaimed in shock, "Yuri!"
As she cried out, she immediately cast a burst of magic towards Yuri, attempting to rescue him. But it was equally futile.
The dark magic power that belonged to Jellal was beyond what Mebis could decipher at her current level.
Sizzle!!!
The light shot up into the sky and instantly entwined with the massive dragon skeleton hovering over Magnolia Town, as if countless thunderbolts were flashing.
Yuri's body seemed to dissolve in an instant, his self-awareness suppressed by the overwhelming magic power, and his soul fused with the skeletal dragon. This caused the long-dead dragon, which had been motionless for hundreds of years, to regain its vitality and stir once more!
"It's over... It's all over!"
Joseph watched this unfold, his body involuntarily falling backward as panic etched across his face.
Having studied the Sirius Orb, he was keenly aware of the terrifying dark magic power it contained. While the magic existed independently, it wasn't inherently dangerous. However, this magic power had now combined with Yuri's soul and the skeletal dragon's body, providing it with a formidable vessel!
The dragon's skeleton had stood there for hundreds of years, and no magic could leave a mark on it. This was the power of a dragon!
Rumble!!!
The skeletal dragon raised its head towards the sky, letting out a roar. The unleashed magic power shook the heavens and caused the magical elements in the atmosphere to tremble and the ground to quake.
Although it was merely a skeleton and a fraction of a true dragon in its prime, perhaps possessing not even a fifth of its original strength, it still far surpassed an ordinary mage!
Boom!
The skeletal dragon gathered magic power in its mouth and unleashed a dragon's breath, blasting the street and reducing a row of houses to rubble.
Mebis's expression changed drastically as she witnessed this, and without any hesitation, she leaped upward, gathering all the magic soldiers and concentrating her magic power.
Phoenix magic unfolded behind her, forming a magical array that manifested as two transparent golden wings, making her appear like a sprite as she soared into the sky and positioned herself directly in front of the skeletal dragon.
"Yuri! What are you doing! Stop!"
"It's no use... He's completely under the control of the dark magic. You should flee this place immediately."
Joseph looked up, his body trembling as he spoke. He struggled to his feet and staggered away from Magnolia Town.
Mebis had no time to spare for Joseph at the moment. Seeing that the skeletal dragon was beyond Yuri's control, she could only clench her fists tightly and wave her small hands forward.
Buzz!!!
A golden magic array unfolded, and countless golden magic ropes surged from within, wrapping around the skeletal dragon and binding it in place.
However, Mebis's strength at this time still fell short of that of a member of the Ten Wizard Saints, not to mention her confrontation with the skeletal dragon, which far exceeded the power of an average member of the Saints.
Crackle!
The ropes binding the dragon crumbled and dissipated almost as soon as they were cast.
She remembered when Feng Ye had first cast this spell; the magical ropes had been so solid that they had bound her tightly, and despite her best efforts, she couldn't damage it in the slightest. While she had learned this spell from him, her magical power paled in comparison to his.
If Feng Ye had cast this spell, he surely would have been able to control this skeletal dragon.
Boom! Boom!!
Mebis began to fight the dragon, trying to drive it out of Magnolia, but her attacks were in vain as they left no mark on the dragon's body due to her inferior magical power.
She was never good at direct attacks; the Phoenix magic she had learned from Feng Ye was mostly supportive in nature. She excelled in legion warfare, not one-on-one duels.
Moreover...
Her current magical level was far below that of the skeletal dragon.
Bang!!
After several failed attempts to counter the dragon, her magic array was shattered once more, and she was sent flying dozens of meters away by the dragon's breath.
Even with the protection of her Phoenix magic, she was left battered and bruised, her magical power greatly depleted, though she had no life-threatening injuries.
"Teacher..."
Seeing the dragon continue its rampage, Mebis clenched her fists.
This was her adventure, and she had messed it up. Not only had she allowed her companion to fall under the control of dark magic, but she had also brought about an even worse outcome for Magnolia. She couldn't just stand by and let this happen.
Feng Ye was a legend on this continent, regarded as an abyss of magic, and as his disciple, she couldn't let her first adventure end in failure, or it would bring shame not only to herself but also potentially tarnish Feng Ye's reputation.
"I have no other choice."
Mebis took a deep breath and made her decision.
She had learned a plethora of magic from Feng Ye, and until now, every spell she had cast had been taught to her by him. However, there was one spell that she had learned on her own.
All the magic she had mastered was supportive or life-oriented, but as clever as she was, she knew that creating life and protecting it were two different matters.
To protect life, one needed powerful offensive magic!
Magic capable of deciding life and death!
Thus, combining her Phoenix magic with her self-studied life magic, she performed reverse deductions, but due to her weak magical power and insufficient cultivation, the spell she developed was only a semi-perfect supermagic. She named this spell—Law!
To create life is to also have the power to take it away, to purify all darkness with sacred light, and to annihilate any target deemed an enemy. This was the essence of the magic she had invented.
"Haa..."
Mebis exhaled and took to the skies once more, positioning herself directly in front of the skeletal dragon.
Using an incomplete spell might have severe side effects, but she couldn't worry about that now. She had to resolve the situation before her.
Her small hands came together in front of her, gathering the remaining magical power within her body. With her magic as the core, she constructed a magical array that caused the magical elements in the sky to stir.
"One, two..."
Brilliant golden light emanated from her palms.
The skeletal dragon, sensing the threat, turned towards Mebis and gathered its magical power, intending to breathe another blast of dragon's breath at her. However, it was a step too slow.
Just as it was about to exhale its breath, Mebis calmly spoke, and the golden light in her palms illuminated the entire sky.
"Law!"
It was as if the sun itself had blossomed in that moment.
The light engulfed the dragon's breath, its body, and then the sky and the land, enveloping the entire town in its radiance.
From a distant place, unknown to how far, Feng Ye was striding forward, his eyes observing the events unfolding in Magnolia. He let out a soft sigh.
"A semi-perfect supermagic, it's exactly the same."
Although Mebis hadn't told him, how could he not know that his most prized disciple had secretly studied a semi-perfect supermagic spell? He knew everything about her, after all.
Yet, he had not stopped her because he had already foreseen the future.
