Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 182: Horrifying Psychic Power

The yellow wave broke through the city wall, and with it, hundreds of thousands of bulbous monsters spread through the city like a virus.

Outside the city, several huge leader monsters were slowly walking into the city wall. From time to time, red spiritual energy beams condensed in their huge eyes and swept towards the city like sharp swords. Countless Niksaran people who were hit by the beams of light had terrible changes in their bodies. Some of them grew eyes all over their bodies, while others grew an arm on their stomachs.

Sefar looked at the monsters wreaking havoc on the land with a hint of pity in his eyes. His strength was far from enough to contend with these monsters. Even if he exhausted his spell slots, it would probably be just a drop in the bucket.

But he couldn't just sit back and watch.

"La Greenal Fisty"

The old wizard held the scepter tightly with both hands, his eyes flashing with green light. He silently chanted an ancient spell, and as the voice fell, a dark green ball of light gathered on the top of the scepter, and the power contained in it made the air around him tense.

As the wizard waved his sword, the dark green ball of light turned into a thick green pillar of light. It twisted and leaped as if it had life, and with a deafening roar, it rushed straight into the sky. The outer wall of the pillar of light flowed like a molten gem, emitting a dazzling brilliance, which was a breathtaking beauty.

Nine-ring Shaping Spell——[Khelben's Elven Flame]!
The earth looked dim under the green light. Wherever the beam of light passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, and the whistling wind and strong vibrations made Dironao feel terrified.

The green beam of light hit a bulbous monster leader. Instantly, green flames exploded like a wild beast tide, and the scorching flames danced, engulfing everything around. The solid shell became distorted under the high temperature, and the green flames seemed to have life, chasing every flammable object.

The surrounding monsters screamed, but the screams gradually dissipated in the horrific explosion, wiped out by the ruthless power of the elves. Green flames jumped in the air, spreading among the monsters like a world-destroying disaster.

The huge bulbous monster leader fell down while wailing, and with it fell thousands of small monsters around it. The green flame wave was still spreading. Seeing this, the other surviving bulbous monster leaders roared in anger, and the crimson twisted spiritual energy rushed straight into the sky.

Nine-ring psychic power——[Reverse reality]!
The remaining five monster leaders cast a spell together, and the distorted supernatural powers instantly modified the reality. The green flames kept shrinking as if time was going backwards. Every time the flames receded, the monsters that should have been completely devoured by the green flames were resurrected on the spot.

Until the flames finally condensed to the starting point, the power of [Reverse Reality] was exhausted.

It cannot revive powerful monster bosses.

Seeing this, Sefar in the sky was both surprised and happy. He was surprised because the strange powers of these monsters were beyond his expectations. He didn't know much about psychic power, but in his opinion, the scene before him could only be achieved by the nine-ring spell [Wish]!
The reason for his joy was that his strength obviously did not exceed the level of the ninth ring, at least the most powerful monster leader had not been resurrected!
"Nine-ring level spellcasting power," Sefar made an immediate judgment.

The sky was covered with dark clouds at some point, and heavy rain swept away the bloody brick floors in the city. The monster leaders shot red psionic energy into the sky, and the heavy rain became three times stronger under the effect of the psionic energy.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill!"

Under the influence of this strange rain, the eyes of the ordinary people on the street gradually became crazy and fierce. They seemed to be possessed by demons, and rationality was replaced by madness.

A burly man was originally just running away from the monster's pursuit, but suddenly, as if he was stimulated by something, he suddenly swung his fist at the passerby next to him who also had a confused look on his face.

The passerby was caught off guard and was knocked heavily to the ground, but he quickly got up from the ground, with flames of anger burning in his eyes. He roared and rushed towards the burly man. The two men wrestled together, and their punches hit each other, making dull sounds.

The heavy rain distorted their will. Facing the oncoming tide of monsters, the people of Niksalan in the city lost their minds and started attacking each other.

"How is it possible for the mind to be distorted on such a large scale!" Sefar exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief.

This strange heavy rain was exactly the same as what was encountered in the rainforest. Ordinary people affected by it fought each other just like those animals.

Was this caused by these monsters?
The rain affected at least tens of thousands of creatures, not to mention the millions of animals in the rainforest.

This exaggerated range is definitely not what the Nine Rings ability possesses. Sefar immediately realized that there was something wrong with the monsters' power. There was a huge difference between the Nine Rings' spellcasting power and that of a legend. Even the most extensive evocation spells could only affect thousands of people at most.

Even a nine-ring spell of this level comes at the cost of sacrificing lethality.

Legendary spells, on the other hand, are a drastic improvement, with a killing range of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands or millions of people, and the terrifying power of a nuclear weapon. These are powers that only legendary spells possess.

As a nine-ring wizard and his father a well-known and powerful legendary wizard, Sefar has an extremely broad vision of magic. He knows that the monsters in front of him are definitely not legendary, otherwise he would have no chance to kill a monster. He would probably be killed instantly by their legendary powers upon contact.

In other words, the problem lies with the strangely colored spiritual energy!

Although he didn't know much about psychic power, Sefar knew that the external manifestation of psychic power was an invisible, silver, transparent energy.

However, the psychic energy used by these monsters in front of him was red, and every time he got close to that psychic energy, he felt a twisted and crazy feeling.

"I say, old wizard, I think it's better for you not to intervene. These monsters give me a very dangerous feeling." Even Dironao swallowed his saliva and said with some fear as he looked at everything in front of him.

Sefar sighed and said, "I know, I just can't bear it. These monsters are cruel. If we let them enter the city, I'm afraid they won't leave anyone alive."

He looked at the pyramids in the city with a complicated expression, and asked in confusion: "Why, why don't these powerful people of Niksalan come out to stop all this?"

In the city of Nazca, a river of blood had flowed. The bodies of the Niksalan people lay on the ground with their eyes wide open. On the head of each of their corpses, there were several bulbous monsters enjoying the food.

But the pyramid in the center of the city remains silent.

Just as Sefar was about to tell the red dragon to leave, a blue portal flashed by them, and a silver-haired man wearing a black wizard robe and holding a white scepter in his hand walked out.

"Nemesis?!" Sefar and Shana exclaimed in surprise.

Nemesis nodded, looked at the city intently for a while, then smiled and said:

"I see. No wonder they set up that thing in the city. They are really a bunch of lunatics."

Sefar was a little confused, but Nemesis did not answer him. Instead, he raised his scepter and pointed it at the earth, and magic power flowed out like a river.

"You want them, then I'll destroy them!"

　The power of the nine-ring spell is cast by a normal wizard, not the protagonist's power. The protagonist's current six-ring spell range is already ridiculously high.

　　Before the legendary spell, the range of each ring of the spell would not be increased too exaggeratedly. The sixth ring of the death circle could kill nearly a thousand people, but the ninth ring could only reach the range of a few thousand people at most.

　　Only the lethality of each level of spells has been significantly improved.

　　To put it bluntly, before the legendary spell, the aoe range increase is very small, only the damage value is greatly increased. After the legendary spell, the aoe range and damage value are greatly increased.
　　However, special spells like Banshee's Howl or single-target spells have a higher power level and a smaller range, which will be discussed later.
