Chapter 582
Rank Magic
boom--!
At this critical moment, a giant axe, carrying immense force, slammed down on Ahkator's neck!
clang--!
The ear-piercing clang of metal striking metal was deafening. Ahkator's body froze instantly, like a film paused on the spot, jerking and flying fifty meters to the side!
The level 9 warrior's all-out attack landed squarely on a vital spot.
Yet, not a single scratch was left on Ehkator's neck.
Even if she were knocked away, the distance of fifty meters would be insignificant to her, not even a step.
Ahkator slowly straightened up, raised his hand to cover his waist, and pulled out the skinning dagger stained with poison.
The dagger froze in mid-air, and time itself seemed to stand still on the part of her body where it had cut her. Even so, the toxins spreading through her body continued to worsen rapidly, showing no signs of being contained.
“A poison that can penetrate time…” A subtle hint of seriousness crept into Ehkator’s voice.
"Level 6 Alchemist Talent - God-level Inspirational Medicine Making - Imagine the effect of a potion, draw inspiration from any species you see, and you can make the potion you want, even if the method of making the potion does not exist in this world."
Lu Cang extracted the core inspiration about time from Neherkato and incorporated it into the potion.
Even if Ehkator could stop time, he could not completely stop the spread of the toxin—the toxin's mode of action is [self-timer].
Even if Ehkator forcibly stops time, it will still steadily take effect second by second in its own time dimension, continuously eroding her body.
boom--!
Another powerful attack came crashing down from the front! Kaiga's eyes were bloodshot, he didn't care about anything else, there was only one thought in his mind: Slash! Slash to kill!
One axe blow after another!
With a flick of his fingertips, Ehkator created a series of time barriers that repeatedly blocked Kaiga's fierce attacks.
But Kaiga's speed was getting faster and faster. Each swing of his axe was heavier and more domineering than the last, increasingly ignoring her time defense.
Even if Ehkator uses time stop, he cannot imprison Kaiga for long now!
Moreover, the toxins restricted her abilities, preventing her from using the full power of the laws.
when--!
Suddenly, Ehkator's senses tightened abruptly!
The senses suddenly focused on Izparut, who didn't act like Kaiga, but just kept silently chanting spells!
The black star scepter in his hand remained motionless, without a trace of magical fluctuation, yet his chanting never ceased!
A strong sense of unease instantly swept over Eichator's heart.
This magician... she had never heard of him before.
Only recently did she manage to glean some information, knowing that this man had just been promoted to the God of Magic, and that was all.
It was news that Eichator learned by chance after he arrived in this era.
She has always been indifferent to everything in this world.
Gods and the moon are irrelevant to her.
Ehkator never cared about a mere magician.
Even in her heart, she always looked down on ordinary magicians—level 9 magicians were nothing but fleeting clouds, and as for the God of Magic, they were nothing but insignificant ants.
As for Izparut?
Who is that? I don't care, it's not important.
Until this moment...
She then sensed a real threat from this seemingly ordinary magician—a deadly threat that could utterly destroy her!
Ekhator, who had always been arrogant and indifferent to everything, felt a deep-seated fear for the first time.
But Izparut, standing before him, slowly smiled faintly, his tone calm: "Lu Cang, the divine weapon you gave me... is indeed very useful."
This Black Star Scepter is a divine artifact extracted from Izparut, and it has only one effect:
"Increases the spell's rank by 1 and its proficiency level by 10."
That's it.
However, if this divine artifact were given to Lu Cang, he would be unable to use it to unleash tenth-tier magic.
Lu Cang's only way to unleash ninth-tier spells is through "Elemental Splendor," simultaneously releasing all ninth-tier elemental magic. However, "Elemental Splendor" is an original forbidden spell and cannot be upgraded.
If he could advance to the next level, with Lu Cang's own "God-level Ascension" talent, he would have already been able to upgrade these ninth-level elemental magics to the tenth level.
For Lu Cang, using the Black Star Scepter, he could only unleash a maximum of ninth-tier death magic.
Using the death spells learned by a level 7 Death Priest, first advance to level 8, then use the Black Star Scepter to advance to level 9.
Therefore, the best user of the Black Star Scepter is Izparut.
Izparut gripped the Black Star Scepter with both hands and slowly held it horizontally in front of him!
Swish-!
Ehkator rushed over almost instantly, trying to stop Izparut.
But just a second before her fingertips were about to touch Izparut, the entire world was instantly filled with countless magic circles!
Izparut's movements became unusually slow, as if she were speaking in slow motion, but her voice remained unaffected, flowing gently between heaven and earth.
Even if he moved slowly, Ahkator could not advance a step or stop him in the slightest!
"Tenth Rank, Time Magic."
As soon as the words fell, countless magic arrays bloomed instantly, like blooming flowers becoming three-dimensional. The whole world was distorted into the shape of a kaleidoscope. Time turned rapidly and reflected each other. All the scenes of the past reappeared and overlapped at this moment!
"Ultimately, they all converge in one place, and then accumulate infinitely."
Swish swish swish swish—!
Countless figures of Izparut from the past appeared as if rewinding, raising the Black Star Scepter and slowly holding it horizontally in front of them.
Every moment of Izparut in the past has become a mirror image of him in this moment, overlapping with him now, converging into an unstoppable force.
Then, everyone saw countless figures of Ehkator from the past constantly gathering and merging towards a single point. Finally, the countless figures coalesced into one, transforming into the figure before them who was doing everything in his power to stop Izparut.
when--!
“Ahcattor,” Izparut’s voice was calm yet carried an undeniable confidence, “I believe your understanding of time magic is inferior to mine.”
He slowly raised the Black Star Scepter and pointed it at Ahkator in front of him.
Ahkator stood completely still, unable to move—at this moment, Izparut seemed to have countless overlapping figures, their imposing aura causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
"Tenth rank, arcane magic."
"Illusion shattered."
In an instant, the entire world was bathed in a pure white light, and all the magic in the world rushed madly toward the tip of the Black Star Scepter!
Even Lu Cang's absolute sea of magic power was completely drained, forming a vacuum zone where not a trace of magic power existed!
The magic of countless spaces and other dimensions was forcibly drawn away by this force and gathered here.
In the vast universe, only this one strike remained, concentrated at a single point, carrying the power to destroy everything.
All the white light in the world vanished at that moment, leaving only Ehkator, who was completely enveloped by a straight, pure white pillar of magical light!
boom--!
The beam of light pierced the sky, broke through the clouds, and pierced through all obstacles in the world, tearing the seemingly indestructible time barrier that protected Ehkator to shreds!
The beam of light shot out all the way to the horizon, where it lingered for a long time.
Ten minutes later, the dissipated magic poured down from the sky like heavy raindrops.
At this moment, all the magic in the world has dried up, and the world is deathly silent.
Ahkator's figure had long since vanished, as if he had never existed in this world.
However, along with Eichkator, Neherkator, who was originally standing next to Lu Cang, also disappeared.
Lu Cang gazed silently in the direction where Ehkator had disappeared, his fingertips tightly gripping [Reverse Time], his expression complex yet tinged with a sense of relief.
Finally, it's all over. (End of Chapter)
