Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 438 The dream is shattered
"This guy... actually has a back-up plan like this!"

The voice of the black-haired young man echoed from mid-air throughout the entire battlefield. The arcane mage who was knocked to the ground by the spell chip wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clenched his teeth, stared at the black-haired young man standing in mid-air, and subconsciously clenched the magic book in his hand.

As a wizard, he sensed very clearly that at that moment, the opponent's mana reserves, mana strength, operating precision, and elemental affinity had inexplicably increased significantly. This degree of increase had exceeded any secret method he knew.

"Damn it, what kind of secret method is this that has such a powerful effect?!"

——If he were to obtain this secret technique, his strength would definitely undergo a drastic change!

The arcane mage stared at the black-haired young man in front of him, with a hint of jealousy and greed in his pupils, but his face showed a cold and indifferent look. He deliberately opened the magic book in his hand and said:

"Haha, you actually have this kind of trick up your sleeve? It seems like you still have a little bit of..."

"The red flames burning in the endless purgatory, the Lord of Ashes that destroys everything!"

"Now we should play the scarlet ancient ballad in the ruined kingdom and call the horn of war——!"

Before the arcane mage could finish his words, a cold chant suddenly sounded from the battlefield. The black-haired young man standing in midair ignored the arcane mage's words and directly took out a black book with a world tree pattern printed on it and quickly chanted:
Chant?

The arcane mage was startled at first, then sneered, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and said coldly:
"How ridiculous! You don't think that after your magic power has increased significantly, you can restore the full power of fourth-tier magic in this world, right?!"

"It looks like karmic fire, and sounds like crying! It gathers like red lotus, and disperses like the final curtain!"

Ignoring the arcane mage's ridicule, the cold chanting continued to sound from the battlefield. Seeing this, the arcane mage's eyes moved slightly. Just as he was about to release an elemental spell to break the black-haired young man's chanting magic, the next chanting sound followed:

"We should play the final movement here and bury the three hundred and ninety thousand disasters!"

"This punishment should be given to those who speak foolishly and burn away the 960 million wrong thoughts!"

Boom boom boom!

Three rapid drum beats were heard, and a huge flaming shadow quickly appeared behind the arcane mage, causing his expression to change slightly, not because of anything else, but because of the chanting of the black-haired young man in front of him.

Or rather... it was because of the opponent's chanting speed.

"What the hell did this guy do? Why did the chanting speed suddenly increase so much! "

The arcane mage's expression changed slightly as he sensed the massive amount of fire elements rapidly gathering around the black-haired young man.

too fast.

The opponent's chanting speed this time was obviously more than twice as fast as the previous time they fought!
"We must use elemental magic quickly..."

Buzz, rumble—! !

Before the arcane mage could make a decision, a series of continuous roars suddenly sounded from the battlefield. A second tall figure formed by flames suddenly rose behind the black-haired young man. A huge sense of oppression emanated from him, causing the arcane mage's face to change slightly.

The second one? No, that's not right. This new magic is not Burning Ashes, but...

"inflammation!"

The next second, a low roar full of oppression sounded, and in an instant, wisps of red flames began to rise all over the battlefield. At the same time, a third huge red figure began to emerge from behind the second flaming shadow.

If someone could see the black-haired young man's branding interface at this moment, they would find that prompts were constantly sliding from the edge of his vision:

[Tip: Active skill [Magic Field·Flame LV.MAX] has been used, and 1000 magic points will be consumed every minute]

[Hint: [Mana Essence Extract] has been used, which restores 200 mana points per second for 30 seconds]

At the same time, when a fire elemental skill is released, the Flame Spirit will imitate it, consuming the corresponding mana to release the skill again.

……

This is... the magical realm of the Black Four World and the strengthening magic that can provide high gains? !

The arcane mage, who relied on the knowledge in his mind to identify the effects of the two magic spells released by the black-haired young man, felt the fire elements around him that had become completely agitated. A biting chill rose behind him, and the words of the elemental spell that he had just started to chant were suddenly stuck there.

"Damn it, is this guy crazy? Isn't he afraid of being warned by Paradise for buffing Blazing Embers like this?!"

Realizing that it was too late and he couldn't use elemental magic to block the attack, the arcane mage cursed in his mind. Without caring about anything else, he hurriedly opened the magic book in his hand and frantically poured all the magic energy in his body into it.

Om-! !

A gray and white light bloomed from the magic book in the hands of the arcane mage, enveloping the arcane mage's body, making his figure quickly become transparent, and then...

"end."

An indifferent shout came from the black-haired young man, and the tall fire god wearing flaming armor on the battlefield stopped moving immediately. At the same time, the two fire lotus buds floating above the battlefield also suddenly stopped spinning.

"What a joke, how can you even do something like this?!"

The arcane mage, who was escaping into another world under the influence of the power of time and space, saw this scene and widened his eyes in disbelief.

Why would a large-scale magic that has already been released to the last step still stop? !

It was the most difficult fire elemental magic to control! And it was released when it was beyond the level!
For a moment, confusion, jealousy, shame and anger...all kinds of emotions surged from the arcane mage's mind.

He looked at the black-haired young man who was standing in mid-air with a sarcastic expression in his direction. His throat felt slightly sweet and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was so angry at the other party that he was almost pissed off.

As the blood in his heart spurted out, the arcane mage's aura suddenly became a little disordered, and even the gray-white barrier surrounding his body began to fluctuate.

not good!

The arcane mage's face changed when he saw the disordered barrier, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately opened the magic book in his hand, and was about to make up for his loss when the gray-white barrier on his body suddenly moved, and finally with a bang, it turned into fragments of time and space power all over the sky, and bounced the arcane mage out from another world layer.

"Ok?"

On the battlefield, the black-haired young man who was preparing to wait patiently for the arcane mage's evasive means to disappear looked at the arcane mage who had just left one second and suddenly came back the next. He was stunned for a moment, and a hint of confusion in his eyes showed what the other party was doing.

——To be honest, this was the first time he saw an almost invincible skill to dodge damage being canceled suddenly by itself right after it was released.

So the black-haired young man smiled.

"drop."

As the cold words fell, in an instant, two red lotuses made of flames rose slowly from the battlefield. When they rose to a certain position, they bloomed with a humming sound.

boom--! !

Instantly, the entire world was covered by the violent fire element. The ruins of the buildings that were still left on the battlefield melted bit by bit under the terrifying high temperature. The dazzling flames shot up from the earth, illuminating the dark night as bright as day. After dozens of seconds, the flames that were enough to incinerate everything gradually dissipated. Looking around, one could see that under this terrifying blow, the entire battlefield had undergone tremendous changes.

Cement, rocks, steel bars, bones...all kinds of things evaporated or melted under the high temperature. The original messy ruins also disappeared, and there were only artificially formed lava rivers flowing slowly on the ground.

"Cough...cough!"

A weak cough sounded from the ground that was emitting rolling heat waves. Most of his robes were burned, and his handsome face was burnt black. The arcane mage, who had lost his previous calmness and elegance, half-knelt there in embarrassment, gasping for breath, staring with red eyes at the unharmed figure in the air that walked out of the rock ball, and let out a low roar full of resentment like a beast:

"Black...Sword...!"

"I'm listening, what's wrong?"

The black-haired young man lowered his head to look down at the dishevelled arcane mage and spoke indifferently. His deep black pupils, as bottomless as an abyss, quietly reflected the scene on the battlefield, as if he didn't take the arcane mage below seriously at all.

"Very...good! I admit, ahem...I failed this time! The strongest wizard of the second rank is indeed worthy of his reputation."

A hideous smile appeared on the face of the arcane mage. He stared at the black-haired young man standing above him and said word by word in a weak and hoarse voice:

"But, it's only this time! Thank you for making me understand that even if I master the power of elemental magic, I should not underestimate the accumulation and training of theory!"

Om-! !

A silver-white light bloomed from the magic book in the hands of the arcane mage, and an extremely complex and huge teleportation array suddenly appeared under his feet.

"Black Sword, this time... I lost, but next time, I will let you know how weak your magic is!!"

"I hope... you can live to that time!"

A roar filled with resentment came from the mouth of the dishevelled arcane mage. The arcane mage stared at the black-haired young man in front of him with his bloodshot pupils and cursed him in a sinful tone.

Boom——! !

The next second, a huge roar sounded from the battlefield, and a space crack that spread like a spider web appeared on the battlefield, and the figure of the arcane mage disappeared on the spot under the influence of silver light.

The black-haired young man standing in mid-air looked at this scene. The pure white shadow on his body had disappeared at some point, and he was seen staring calmly at the space crack left by the arcane mage. He didn't show any sign of intending to take action, as if he didn't care at all that a top violator had slipped away from his hands.

……

Meanwhile, Germany, Berlin area.

boom--! !

On the busy street, a dark space crack opened up in the sky, and the figure of the arcane mage flew out of it, smashing to the ground with a bang like a cannonball.

The shock waves caused by the collision of the magic energy used to protect the body and the residual space vibration instantly turned the surrounding people into a puff of blood mist, and the pungent smell of blood suddenly spread from the street.

“Ahem… ahem! Damn it, I didn’t expect that Black Sword guy would be this strong!”

In the huge pit created by the arcane mage himself, the blood-stained arcane mage raised his arm with difficulty. The blood mist around him immediately gathered in his direction and turned into a blood-red gem the size of a baby's fist.

Gulu~!
A difficult swallowing sound was heard, and the arcane mage forced the blood-colored orb into his esophagus. Then he closed his eyes and quickly refined the pure life energy contained within it.

He obtained this secret technique from a relic. It can quickly improve physical attributes and recover from physical injuries by absorbing blood and life energy, thus making up for the physical shortcomings of a normal wizard like him.

A few minutes later, the arcane mage, whose injuries had mostly recovered, slowly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, slowly crawled up from the ground, quickly changed himself into a set of clean clothes, glanced at the space crack above his head that had not yet healed, and a hint of gloom and resentment appeared in his eyes.

Black sword.

It’s because of this guy that all the power of time and space that he accumulated over several worlds was wasted!

Not only that, because he retreated too suddenly, some of the elements he released could not be recovered in time. From the perspective of losses, it can be said that he truly lost everything in the Hellsing world this time.

However, at least this time he successfully figured out the strength of the Paradise Pioneer, and thanks to that guy, he realized his biggest weakness now.

Thinking of this, the arcane wizard lowered his head, glanced at the magic book in his hand which was half colorful and half grayish white, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

What about Black Sword? What about Harbinger?
——It’s just a whetstone on his path to growth.

——As long as he is given enough time, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses this guy.

The arcane mage was very sure, or rather... he had enough confidence in his talent, and his experiences so far, as well as the result of today's battle, had only deepened his certainty of this guess:
He is 'special'.

Even before he entered the paradise, he had sensed this "specialness". He had been smarter than others since he was a child. He could learn knowledge that others needed to spend a lot of energy to master by just looking at it a few times. He had good luck in everything he did, and could see things that ordinary people could not see.

After entering Paradise, he became even more convinced of his own "specialness". He successfully obtained the incomplete inheritance of the Arcane Eternal Star in the unexplored area of ​​the Trial World. While other contractors were still confused about everything in Paradise, he had already embarked on a road to legend.

Obtain the sealed eternal treasure, become a violator to steal the power of time and space from paradise, become a feared arcane mage in the eyes of others, and be able to escape danger and gain something every time you encounter a life-and-death crisis.

At first, the arcane wizard was actually a little skeptical about this, thinking that perhaps his adventures were nothing, and perhaps there were people in paradise who were more special than himself. But gradually, one adventure after another proved that he was indeed special, and possessed great luck that ordinary people could not match.

After reading about the history of Arcane Eternal and the so-called Destroyer, an extremely bold idea popped up in the mind of the arcane mage:

Perhaps, he is just like Bai Ye, who is now known as the strongest man in the star world, when he was young, and accidentally became the bearer of the destiny of the entire Arcane Eternal Star!
From the information he found, it turned out that Bai Ye, in his early years, had the luck to destroy Dharma, so he was always able to escape danger at critical moments. In every life-and-death battle, he was always able to defeat his enemies by a hair's breadth. His situation was exactly the same.

——Just like the destroyer back then, he is the last spellcaster of Arcane Eternity, carrying the fate of the entire Arcane Eternity!

After realizing this, the arcane mage's attitude towards these contractors in the second order changed unconsciously.

In other words... he began to unconsciously look down on his 'peers' and judge them from a superior perspective.

The confidence for all this comes from his uniqueness.

Yes, he is special, so he doesn't need a mere black sword...

'Well, what is that?'

The arcane mage, who was immersed in the fantasy of defeating the black sword and trampling the opponent under his feet, seemed to have discovered something. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at a certain position in the night sky:
He saw that on the night sky that should have been pitch black, an extremely dazzling star suddenly appeared, and as he watched, it became more and more dazzling, until...

boom--! !

The nuclear warhead dropped from the sky at a terrifying speed of nearly 4km/s, not giving the arcane mage standing on the ground any time to react. A dazzling fireball bloomed in the sky above the city, and the high temperature of tens of millions of degrees instantly burned everything in its path, eventually turning into a huge mushroom cloud rising slowly from the earth.

[Tip: Violator No. 05523 has been killed and 8 gold medals of honor have been obtained]

[Hint: Therefore, the offender has a large number of high-value items on him, and the judgment is in progress...]

[Judgment completed, 10 additional gold medals of honor have been awarded, and the violator's scarlet card has been automatically recovered for the pioneer]

[Reminder: Scarlet Card rewards have been distributed via email, please claim them in time]

In the underground space, Xin Lailai glanced at the prompts at the edge of his vision and looked at the shocking nuclear explosion scene on the screen in front of him without making any big reaction.

He could roughly guess why the arcane mage said such words before leaving. After all, judging from the things on the other party, it was natural for the other party to think that he was very special and unique.

But, it's a pity...

——The thing that is most in demand in the paradise is “protagonists”.
