Chapter 2265 - 840: Finally Shows Himself

This time, the Shield Light on the ’Old Age Striking King’ directly vanished.

No matter how strong the resistance, after being bombarded by continuous Seventh Circle Spells, the Magic Shield had its resistance limits figured out.

So, the ’Old Age Striking King’ wasn’t surprised when the Eighth Ring Spells, intensified by several Seventh Circle Mages, followed almost immediately... She could see the ’Anti-Magic Ray’ and ’Eyeball Wall’ aimed at her.

One was to undo the potential ’Magic Reversal’ on her, the other was to restrict her movements.

They’ve already used Hold Spell earlier.

To restrict the ’Old Age Striking King,’ they even threw multiple group Hold Spells at once... so the Female Priest estimated she might have brushed past a bit.

Those guys have already confirmed that she’s immune to Hold Spells.

Edna picked the blessing to maximize the compensation for the weaknesses in ’Old Age Striking King’s’ combat after watching her fight hundreds of battles.

Even William had to squat beside her... Of course, the Temporal Artifact stood there openly, but who doesn’t know which guy is behind it!

Not willing to give them any loophole! Opposes fiercely with even a slight excess.

A female warrior like her, fast to react, agile yet courageous, fears being immobilized the most!

So, to compensate for William refusing Edna’s excessive demand to elevate her Elemental Body to that of a Divine Envoy, he had to accept that basic Hold Spell and Spatial Lock would automatically fail.

Now the only way to confine the ’Old Age Striking King’ to a smaller area is through physical restraint.

Of course, the Necromancy kind of binding could also have some effect.

After all, they summon skeleton hands... although it’s a spell, the damage is considered physical damage, and it’s continuous physical damage.

Yet, as the owner of the Emerald Tome and as one Lansendel, of interest to positive-energy Priests, Necromancies encountering the ’Old Age Striking King’ lady must pass the positive energy check first... Necromancies with a base attribute below 20 points only have one path: turning to ash.

And such Necromancy must be summoned by a Ninth Ring Mage and must first wipe out her Positive Energy Halo.

How much strength will remain to grab her then?

With the physique of the ’Old Age Striking King,’ she can easily break free in no time.

Therefore, the ’Eyeball Wall’ chosen by this group of Magicians is the rare spell that can bind her.

However~this spell doesn’t take effect immediately.

The ’Old Age Striking King’ calculated the time in her mind, quickly deducing that in 5 minutes, the opponent would likely unleash their big move.

As for the few other Seventh Circle Spells, two are ’Sword of Mage Duncan’... which also serve to limit her range of movement and give the next big move some Intelligence buff.

The rest all serve the Eight Ring Spell ’Magic Absorber’ that was about to slam down on the ’Old Age Striking King’ including ’Advanced Stone Shape Spell,’ ’Boulder Trap,’ and ’Anti-Gravity Spell.’

The Eight Ring Spell ’Magic Absorber’ originally exists to absorb the surrounding magic energy and invisibly, then when encountering enemies, it directly explodes.

It might not be as useful against others, but it’s quite suited for the airborne direction-switching ’Old Age Striking King.’

Moreover, they floated quite a few boulders in the air, some even invisible... When an energy-type explosive vortex occurs, the small body of ’Old Age Striking King’ will inevitably suffer countless boulder strikes in succession.

Gravity acceleration is forever the most treacherous thing.

And as the ’Old Age Striking King’ swiftly evades a constant boulder assault... she occasionally has to choose which hit to take more appropriately, knowing not to intentionally crash into the bigger ones, and also not to act too strong by crashing only into those just starting to fly up with no impact... calculating the number of boulders in her mind.

Indeed, she’s already sensed that although rocks are flying all over the hall, a portion is secretly hidden, never appearing.

You could immediately guess this is preparing for the big move later.

Upon realizing this, the ’Old Age Striking King’ instantly understood that the opponent is planning to go for Nine Rings.

The Eighth Ring Spells related to boulders only have a few, all are scatter damage not that strong.

There are many Seventh Circle Spells but none work as a trump card against her... even if she had been literally confined to a small space area.

Only Nine Rings remain.

This enemy is truly insidiously cunning and pretty shrewd.

However, unfortunately, their luck is very bad.

Though ’Old Age Striking King’ may not be as skilled in strategy as ’Snow Cloud Peak,’ she excels in combat.

Besides, her math skills are really good, with a remarkable memory.

Not to mention, she was an extremely serious person.

If it were ordinary people, when accompanying their little ones in reading and learning, they’d likely drift off without a change in expression.

But the ’Old Age Striking King’ would genuinely listen and learn alongside, and even discuss with a certain ’little one’ how to defend against these spells, how to use them... and the person she accompanied was Edna.

The one teaching was an Elder-level presence of the Mithril Elves, a cleric who once followed Coron to learn spells in ancient times.

Clerics of Coron are generally of two kinds: either from his magic and elven magic divinity leading to a magical profession, or from his war and martial artist divinity leading to a strength-based profession.

And the reason Mithril Elves were forced by a bunch of endless little evil warlocks to leave was because they belong to a more magic-oriented profession... Mana has its limits.

Though their strength and stamina are decent, the Mage’s endurance is ultimately a bit lacking.

Besides, how many Mithril Elves are there!

Wasn’t it because they have too few people, and didn’t want these hundreds of thousands of kin consumed in internal strife, that they chose to stay away from Toril!

If there were more people, who would still fear Rose!

With Coron around, the Mithril Elf Great Elder wouldn’t mind the presence of an Undead Tribe member auditing their lectures... let alone, could it be ’Old Age Striking King’ was really that old?

In front of Edna, she’s a big sister, half a mother image, but in the old elf’s eyes, she’s still a little girl.

And with Edna, who taught in dreams through Black Eye, she often asked questions that made the old elf’s heart itch... hey~ who has never fought a few battles in their youth, right?

Especially Edna’s starting points, all came from human Mage’s side... many knew a little about this child’s lineage of the Deity of Mages, and completely didn’t doubt why the young girl knew so much, yet seemed bewildered.

Elves are the most knowledgeable about bloodline inheritance... Actually, at first, elves didn’t like the appearance of half-elves because such children have a high probability of not obtaining the knowledge within their bloodline.

Clearly, everyone’s days are spent so leisurely, just answer children’s questions, no need to slowly teach from the beginning... In the end, just had to start at difficulty level?

Besides, the children all grow up as elves, who know how to teach those basic common senses!

From their point of view, isn’t that something supposed to be known from birth?

Why do elves only have the so-called Mage Academy? It’s just because the former part doesn’t need teaching!

However, the generations of superiority naturally evolved into present discrimination.

The selfless teachings of Mithril Elves ultimately nurtured an ’Old Age Striking King’ fluent in mid-high tier spells, who could even deduce, from some Mage’s casting speed and cooldown time, the type of spell the opponent might cast next.

When Edna ascended to the Divine Throne, she left behind a particularly clingy, especially fragile little avatar, while the ’Old Age Striking King’s’ spell learning was almost at a divine level.

As long as she was in Hidden Town, that child would pack a big bag of books to find her to read together.

Although Edna definitely wouldn’t force the ’Old Age Striking King’ to read those thick and dry magic books with her... this was her biggest misfortune in not accepting Midnight, many things she had to relearn by herself, rather than extracting from the former Goddess of Magic’s memory... But a lady with an exceptional memory, very sensitive to numbers, unconsciously learned a lot of things on her own.

For example, at this moment, she had already thought through the most likely Ninth Ring spells ’Heavenly Fury Fist’, ’Meteor Burst’, and ’Magma Spell,’ and pondered how to make herself seem severely injured yet not incapacitated.

It’s truly difficult!

She clearly could leave unscathed, yet had to risk herself, really... Nowadays, acting has become that important!

If she had this skill, why not act, why rely on a fist to make a living?

Hmm?

The ’Old Age Striking King’ keenly detected a faint heat in the air.

Please wait two more minutes before starting to mobilize magic materials and begin incantation?

Seems this hidden enemy, though able to use Ninth Ring spells, isn’t that serious type... People of Teraxil quite understood this thing, aren’t they just able to cast one type of spell, or simply only know one or two Ninth Ring spells?

There are such fillers everywhere, she completely understood... Just so happens she knows how to deal with this kind.

The ’Old Age Striking King’ slightly turned her head, glanced at someone with noticeable spell fluctuations, then looked around to determine the range of this person’s spell, searching for an area where she could get hit but not sent directly back.

One more minute.

The overwhelming spells came rushing once again.

The ’Old Age Striking King’ leapt into the air, swiftly bounced off several walls, and landed directly in the chosen area.

Utterly perfect, not missing a step~
