The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 287's

Desri, Higginson, Miller, and the others all secretly watched this sparring competition from afar.

"Now, let's pretend my speed is lower than yours. "Hayward nodded at Linley. “Come attack me. Watch how I deal with you. ”

Linley felt a hint of anticipation.

If his speed was lower, how would a Grand Magus Saint handle it?

Linley suddenly moved, turning into a black blur. As Linley moved, Hayward also turned into a flaming blur, retreating at high speed, but clearly his speed was much lower than Linley's.

“I want to see how you will block me. "Linley looked at Hayward.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Suddenly, the air was filled with chunks of meteors that lit up the size of a house. A large number of blazing meteors carried tremendous power as they slammed towards Linley, and in the blink of an eye, they completely covered the space in front of Linley, forming a barrier in front of him.

Linley's expression changed.

Fire style magic of the ninth rank: Scorching Meteor Shower. This technique, though much weaker than the forbidden level 'Heavenly Meteor's Descent' spell both in terms of coverage and single target damage, was, it still forced Linley to break through these countless meteors if he continued attacking Hayward.

The meteors clustered so tightly that there was no room to dodge at all.

"Bang!" Linley charged forward, smashing fiercely against the blazing meteor.

Those huge flaming meteors were knocked flying by Linley, one after another, while several others exploded and split apart. But even though Linley's body was tough enough that he wasn't afraid of these attacks, the constant impact on these meteors caused his speed to decrease slightly.

"Bang!" With a punch, he smashed the last fire meteor in front of him. Linley finally saw Hayward far away.

Hayward stood there in midair, his face covered with a smile. "Linley, you lose again. ”

Linley nodded.

“Your soldiers of ninth rank can't hurt me, but it can lower my speed. By the time I am charged, you might already be using a forbidden spell. "Linley understood this very well, but he had no choice. They were meteors unlike ordinary stones, and Linley had to use great force to break each one of them.

Desri who was watching nearby said, "Linley, the most basic method the Grand Magus Saints use against Warrior Saints is to cast a spell to block them while retreating at high speed, which is why they are not, then use a forbidden level spell to attack them. ”

Linley nodded.

“But, Sir. Hayward, you can cast a spell of the ninth rank. This really was .. "Linley now knew how powerful this man was. Even while depending on the Coiling Dragon's ring, Linley was only able to cast spells of the seventh rank.

Hayward chuckles little, “But of course. Most Great Magus Saints have extremely powerful spiritual energy, but can only enhance spells of the eighth rank. The reason I was able to cast a spell of the ninth rank was simply because I had been practicing for so many years and thus had stronger spiritual energy. ”

Linley quietly sighed, "His Phoenix Metamorphosis could cause the Fire Phoenix that was hundreds of meters tall to condense into a phoenix that was only ten meters tall. I've never even heard of anything like that. ”

In general, the Phoenix Metamorphosis spell was able to create a Fire Phoenix that was around a hundred meters tall, and one that was already extremely powerful. But Hayward ... was clearly one of the most powerful of the Grand Magus Saints.

“But in a dangerous situation, if the Saint Grand Magus wildly and repeatedly cast an eighth level spell on you, they can still slow you down. “Sayward said with certainty.

Linley nodded and laughed. "However, it won't be as effective as you, Sir. Hayward, cast a spell of ninth rank. It takes longer to break through your Scorching Meteor Shower. If it was a spell of the eighth rank used to block me, my speed would probably be much faster. ”

"Linley, you can be considered a peak-level Saint Warrior. An ordinary Saint Warrior would not be able to break through an instacast spell of the eighth rank as fast as you. "Say Hayward.

Linley nodded.

Linley fully understood now ..it was just like how an ordinary person could run a hundred meters in ten seconds, but if he ran over a trail of mud, it was like how an ordinary person could run a hundred meters in ten seconds, he might need fifteen seconds or even longer. Mud, for the public, also poses no threat.

But it would definitely be able to slow down their speed.

"Linley, you have to understand; the most important thing that a Grand Magus Saint must do when fighting a Saint Warrior is to lower the opponent's speed! Instacasting Spells are one method, whereas for example dark style spells include maledictic slowing spells, then the Saint Magus Saint will use that opportunity to utilize forbidden-level spells against you. ”

Desri and the others flew as well.

“Now that you have found the forbidden level spells of the Grand Magus Saint, you should know how powerful they are. "Desri laughed towards Linley.

Linley nodded.

A forbidden level spell was truly terrifying. For example, Phoenix Metamorphosis. Even if Linley pierced straight through the Fire Phoenix's skull, it would still continue to attack him, as it was a being formed from elemental essence and not actually alive. A forbidden spell like this was even stronger than a Saint-level ferocious beast.

At least Saint-level magical beasts were afraid of injury.

To deal with a forbidden level magic spell, the only option was to break it with repeated blows and make it run out of energy.

"Linley's. "The beautiful woman, Pennslyn, smiled as she spoke. “Creating and slowing down the opponent's speed is a rather passive way for the Grand Magus Saint to deal with the opponent. In fact, Grand Magus Saints had other powerful methods. ”

"Oh?"

Linley looked at Hayward in astonishment. "Mr . Hayward, could it be that you have another tool at your disposal? "

Grand Magus Saints are too terrifying!

Hayward nodded. "Of course . This method was the fallback method relied on by the Grand Magus Saints. Linley, come and try to attack me again. If you experience it for yourself, you will understand it clearly. "As he spoke, Hayward flew backwards, pulling once again to a distance of a hundred meters from Linley.

"The fallback method they rely on?" Linley.

"Boom!" Linley once again charged at Hayward, but Hayward did not move at all, only staring at Linley confidently.

As soon as Linley approached her, Linley's face suddenly changed. He felt an extremely powerful mental energy storm suddenly surround him and attack his spirit. In the blink of an eye, Linley suddenly felt dizzy, and his body swayed. Only after a few seconds did he fully recover.

Linley looked at Hayward in astonishment. "Mental attack?"

"Haha .." Miller flew, laughing. "Linley, it wasn't a mental attack. If it is a mental attack, your head will be pain-free and you will faint. ”

Desri and the others flew as well.

Desri personally explained to him. "Linley, what advantage do magi have over warriors?"

“Mental and spiritual energy. "Linley had no doubts at all.

Desri nodded. "really. The Magi have the most powerful spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of the Grand Magus Saint was as powerful and boundless as the sea. They were much stronger than a Saint Warrior. Aside from the few Grand Magus Saints who had just entered the Saint level, most Grand Magus Saints were capable of using this kind of 'Mindstorm' base attack. ”

“This Mindstorm Attack does not require any understanding of the Elemental Laws. It was nothing more than a spiritual energy-based attack that used a lot of spiritual energy to attack the opponent's soul. This kind of tactic is very simple. After reaching the Saint level, the Saint Grand Magus would immediately understand it. “Sayward said with certainty.

Linley understood this as well.

The so-called 'Mindstorm' at that moment felt like an enormous spiritual energy had befallen his soul countless times, although it did not really cause much damage to the soul.

“Hayward, naturally, developed his own unique spiritual attack long ago. If he were to actually use his spiritual energy against you, you would be in trouble. “Desri laughs.

Linley now understood the basic basics of this mental attack (or spiritual attack). It was to form a spiritual energy that was usually soft and weak into a sharp 'knife' and repeatedly pierced the soul of the opponent. This kind of attack was truly terrifying! If one's soul wasn't strong enough, it might be instantly shattered and destroyed.

“Mindstorm! Haha ... ”Hayward shook his head and laughed. “This name was created by the Grand Magus Saints long ago. But in truth, it was nothing more than a very basic mental attack. This was only useful against Warrior Saints who were much weaker in mental energy. ”

Linley felt a sense of fear.

Grand Magus Saints are really strong.

Either by casting spells to slow the movement or by using Mindstorm-type attacks to attack the soul.

“Grand Magus Saints are much fewer in number than Warrior Saints. Generally speaking, Grand Magus Saints had an edge. "Higginson laughed loudly. "Linley, Warrior Saints have their experts, but Grand Magus Saints also have their own experts. Who is stronger? It depends on the guy. ”

Linley nodded.

If he really fights it out against Hayward, when faced with Hayward's meteor blockade, he's, he would use the Earth's Profound Truth – Hundred Wave Floating Attacks to blow up the tunnel directly through all the blocking stones.

In the past, Linley's sword punch had created tunnels throughout the mountain.

Back then, Linley was playing the role of an ordinary expert. But if this was really a life and death battle, it was likely that Bebe would be involved as well. If Bebe and Linley were to charge forward together ... Given Bebe's speed, how many Grand Magus Saints would be faster?

Even if they used mental energy to attack, could it be that they could simultaneously attack Linley and Bebe?

“Grand Magus Saints who are stronger than Warrior Saints is just a generalization. It cannot be considered absolute. "Linley understands.

But of course, if this Hayward wanted to kill him, it would be very easy. All he had to do was use a mental attack. Given Hayward's abilities, he could definitely cause Linley's head to be injured badly enough to make him fall, and then Hayward could use the Phoenix Metamorphosis to attack. He won't even have a chance to escape.

There is always someone stronger than the mighty.

Hayward is mighty, but if he meets Fain, he probably won't be able to do anything about it. After all, Linley had personally witnessed how powerful Fain's mental attack was.

On the flight back with Desri's group, Bebe mentally chatted with Linley while standing on his shoulder. "Boss, when in the future you reach Saint-level as a magus, you will become a Dragonblood Warrior and a Grand Saint Magus in one. Hrmph ... back then, defeating them would be easy. ”

Linley laughed.

If he reached Saint level in human form as a warrior as well as magus, the synergistic power would probably increase his strength dozens of times, if not more. At that time, Linley would most likely be confident in his ability to handle even the likes of Fain and Desri.

………

The imperial capital of Yulan Empire. The residence of Lord Longhaus.

Delia sat in the courtyard alone, drinking tea while flipping through some of Lord Longhaus' magical books. Wildthunder Stormhawk, Parry, as well as Worldbear, Hatton, went to one side, chatting in the language of magical beasts.

"Hmm?" Delia saw something interesting in that magical tome. His eyes lit up and he smiled.

Grand Magus Saints really have a deep understanding of magic. Delia felt she was truly reaping great benefits here.

"Someone is coming . ”Worldbear, Hatton, suddenly speaking. Delia looked questioningly at Hatton. “Someone is coming? Why didn't the guards tell us? Big Yellow, are you just making it up again? ”Delia laughed as she looked at Worldbear, Hatton.

Worldbear looked at Delia with wide eyes. "Delia, you don't believe me? Am I a bear like that? "

“Someone really came. "Delia felt it too now. In terms of environmental awareness, he was much inferior to a Saint-level magical beast.

Soon after, footsteps could be heard from outside.

"May I ask if Lord Longhaus is here?" A calm and confident voice could be heard.

"Please enter . "Delia said casually. For this person to be able to come unannounced meant that he was definitely not an ordinary figure. The door was pushed open, and two handsome youths walked in simultaneously. Delia got up soon. “Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor. ”

Of the two young men, one was the Emperor of the Yulan Empire, His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Rande [Lan'de].

Emperor Rande's eyes sparkled as he looked at Delia. Laughing, she said, “Delia, you are growing more and more beautiful. Right, where's your teacher? ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, wait a moment with George. "Delia said, then she turned to look at Worldbear. “Great Yellow, ask Master where he is at the moment. His Majesty the Emperor wants to meet him. ”The young man who came with Emperor Rande was indeed the youngest Supreme Secretary of the Yulan Empire, the much-loved minister, George.
