Obstruction
“A full body armour, and a spirit animal with formidable attack power as a mount!”
The light Magus mumbled to himself.
“This must be the inheritance from the ancient Steel Knights!” Beside him, another light Magus sighed in admiration.
“In ancient times, Magi were able to obtain very abundant resources. Even high-grade meditation techniques weren’t anything special, and mere official Magi were able to obtain them as well! Many Magi discarded all prejudices they had towards factions and sects, learning and improving together. They even formed a huge alliance, conquering one world after another! That was the golden era of the Magi!”
He repeated, eyes burning with fervent passion.
“But for some reason, the ancient Magi received some huge blow, and historians made a conjecture that there was a world that was especially strong, and our Magus World’s attack on them was thwarted.”
“In order to prevent the war from spreading to our world, the ancient Magi made the painful decision to close the channel that connected them to this world, and sealed the other channels that were connected to other worlds. Even then, the ancient Magi who had suffered greatly lost their ability to pass on their abilities, and eventually declined.”
The leader of the light Magi sighed ruefully and then narrated this history like it was some ancient poem.
“Even if Magi were able to receive the inheritance from ancient Magi, they still lacked some of the required materials from other worlds, which made it impossible for them to progress!”
“Hence, the Magi of today now use meditation techniques to progress, because this is the best route, and many could use the experiences of their seniors to advance. The ancient Magi who had acquired the inheritances were extremely pitiful. If they were lucky, they were able to find resources that were compatible with their bodies and improve, but most of them were stuck at rank 1 for their whole life.”
The Leader said.
“The ancient Steel Knights are said to be from a world close to us. It’s a specific profession unique to the Steel Lava world. After conquering that world, the ancient Magi altered our bodies with some methods, which resulted in the special state of evolution that the Steel Knights can achieve. Without an enormous amount of luck, their strength will stay at this point forever, so you don’t have to envy them.”
“What should we do now? Should we proceed at a faster pace?”
A Magus with an inverted crimson cross in his eyes asked.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
While travelling, the rank 2 Magi used their minds to continue their conversation.
“Hehe, Siley, you did well!”
Another dark Magus laughed, and the black rod in his arms extended.
“Spirits laying silent in the Weeping Abyss, come back to life,!”
A green fireball suddenly formed in front of the black rod and exploded, turning into starry specks that shot into the bone spur forest.
*Ka-cha! Ka-cha!*
The black bone spurs Siley had summoned forth levitated, forming thousands of large skeletal soldiers holding bone nail hammers and white giant hatchets, charging towards Leylin.
“A combination spell!”
Leylin cried out involuntarily. Within rank 2 spells, if the spells displayed by two Magi were similar in terms of their effects, there could be a combo effect if they utilized secret methods that allowed them to combine attacks.This type of magic would then be called a combination spell, and its power far exceeded that of regular rank 2 spells!
However, there were few rank 2 Magi whose body and spiritual force were at a similar level. The conditions for releasing this type of magic were very harsh, and there was only a small number of Magi who fit the requirements. Leylin never imagined that he would get to see this.
*Bang!*
The large white nail hammer slammed down, bringing with it the ear-piercing sounds of an explosion. The air nearby seemed to have its pressure sucked away by the strong wind, and Leylin momentarily felt suffocated.
[Estimated might of target’s purely physical attack: 90 degrees!] The A.I. Chip provided in time.
Leylin dodged the hammer, and a red layer appeared on the surface of his body. “Purely physical attack? Does that mean there’s still a magical attack?”
“Ga ga!” At this moment, a large skeletal soldier that saw Leylin escaping opened its mouth.
Multiple white bone spurs flew powerfully like white raindrops, covering all the areas that Leylin was planning on retreating to.
Red and white flames extended, and the bone spurs that filled the skies were burnt to ashes.
“Black flames? You- You’re Leylin!”
The bald Magus who produced the black bone spurs couldn’t help but exclaim, stunned.
“Long time no see, Director Siley!”
Leylin grinned as he greeted Siley.
“Siley! Is this the student that betrayed the academy? He’s actually advanced to rank 2!”
The rank 2 Magus who cooperated with Siley gained interest as he looked Leylin up and down, “He’s quite talented!”
