Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 174 - The Mage's Pleasure Spell

'puff--'

Another disintegration technique.

Wu Chen used the exact same tactics to successfully eliminate the high-level vampires stationed in another location of the Lost Ruins—once a strategy has proven effective, the best way to use it is to repeat it continuously. And under this combined barrage of illusory spirit transformation, high-level demonic weapons, and mind manipulation, even powerful high-level individuals failed to cause much of a commotion in the instant they were eliminated.

The battle was contained within three seconds.

The sound was controlled at 50 decibels.

The Disintegration spell is indeed a one-hit kill against magic-based classes, leaving them speechless. And as that wisp of disintegrating ashes fell, the sealing patterns on the sanctuary also faded once more.

The effect is good.

The inspiration from the Source Theory flowed forth with each achievement. Perhaps, the moment all the high-ranking vampires were defeated and the Sealed Sanctuary was successfully entered, the 'Master Craftsman,' placed at the top of the research list, would finish reading all the learning progress bars. After that, Wu Chen planned to explore the magical applications of the Hell Sphere.

—The output is still somewhat insufficient.

—Hmm, could I try incorporating Disintegration into Wrecking Ball as well?
Hera once said that the fusion of ice, fire, and lightning is merely the foundation of Wrecking Ball. Further fusion with more specialized elements will increase its power. Therefore, the force field damage of Disintegrate might well be incorporated as a specialization into it.

—Add it to your to-do list.

The plan was finalized—a new tier was added. The source theory deep within his mind thus began to function slightly, and the research and development of high-level magic, unique to Wu Chen himself, advanced a tiny step further.

An idea silently formed in his mind—sufficient violence is the universal solution for all things. And the strategy of elemental fusion is a promising research direction. So, using ice, fire, sulfide, and acid to invert earth, water, fire, and wind, and then adding light, darkness, and a force field representing pure magic, might represent the ultimate restraint of violence.

The first research direction emerged.

By combining and fusing seven elemental specializations, this spell creates a unique high-level magic that maximizes destructive power. Due to the effect of elemental fusion, this magic can counteract the vast majority of known defensive effects, and its inherent power is so great that mortals can hardly withstand it.

This magic can be called Destruction... Great Destruction Sphere. And the Source Theory, constantly generating resources, resonated subtly deep within Wu Chen's heart. With a mere nod, new inspiration would gravitate towards this field, and even the Destruction Sphere, which he hadn't yet begun to learn, would experience a faster growth rate as a result.

One force can break through all laws.

Wu Chen's constantly moving steps faltered slightly. After a brief moment of thought, he added this research direction to his to-do list—since there were no other options at the moment, trying to find a backup plan wouldn't hurt. After all, brute force can indeed be effective in many situations.

—Like this situation.

The ethereal power enveloped him, and his final target came into view—his prediction was correct; the total number of high-ranking vampires guarding this lost ruin was indeed four. However, there was one unexpected twist: the last two high-ranking vampires were not separated like the other two, but were stationed in the same ruined building.

A palace.

A slightly more intact ruin.

There was no wind in the air, and a constant, dim light descended from the hazy sky above. Many once-noble, shadowy humanoid figures, draped in tattered, even torn robes, huddled motionless in the shadows. Undoubtedly, they too were corrupted, long since gracing the realm of dark creatures.

Their combat strength is negligible.

A small number of individuals pose a certain degree of threat.

Aside from the two high-ranking vampires, there were more than twenty vampires whose magic power level reached the mid-level or even above the mid-level. They were also quite evenly distributed throughout the palace.

It's a bit difficult.

Directly bombarding with high-level magic is unlikely to be effective. Furthermore, the Wither spell has no effect on already dead undead. Therefore, the most suitable strategy is—

—I really do need to get used to using summoning magic.

A foothold was chosen. The previous battle had allowed Wu Chen to calculate the perception range of these high-ranking vampires. Coupled with the numerous illusion-based stealth enhancements constantly applied to his body, he successfully appeared in a small building outside the palace without triggering any action from inside the palace ruins. Afterwards, there was a brief period of preparation and buffer.

One second, two seconds.

--come out.

A sudden gust of wind arose.

Outside the palace ruins, the three sisters of the Holy Kingdom appeared amidst the surging shockwave. The instant their feet touched the ground again, they plunged into battle—pure white wings extended outwards from behind Kalja, who had activated her High Godhood appearance. And the highest-level magic she could wield immediately activated!

Seventh-tier magic, Holy Flame Storm.

Intense flames rose from the ground, swirling and surging into the sky. These were high-temperature flames infused with divine power. Even though the vampires here possessed high resistance to both divine power and fire, this attack was enough to engulf the entire palace ruins, eliminate insignificant minions, and attract the attention of all the powerful vampires!

'Boom—' A sea of ​​fire erupted and spread. Countless lower-level vampires, despite their double resistance, were burned to ashes in this sacred flame. Even among the mid-level vampires, the weaker ones were injured by the flames, burning fiercely and temporarily unable to move.

Calgary made the opening move.

The next moment, Remedios, who was guarding her side, suddenly stepped forward. She swung her holy sword straight ahead, and a gust of wind that was rushing towards her was accurately hit by her.

One of the high vampires was intercepted.

The moment it appeared due to being blocked, another high-ranking vampire gathered a blazing red flame of blood explosion in its hand—it dodged suddenly before throwing it, and the next moment, another mid-ranking vampire beside it was firmly bound by Khurat's enhanced light binding spell and instantly shredded into dust!

The forces intertwined.

The vampire intercepted by Remedios was equipped with melee-specialized magic. Its entire body was shrouded in an ominous and evil glow, and its claws, covered with crimson fangs, clashed with Durandal dozens of times in an instant.

The tide of battle was turning, and the battlefield was shifting against the three sisters. Several cracks were torn in Remedios's sacred armor. And the Blood Explosion spell, which had evaded the Light Binding spell, was about to strike the three sisters' location.

The timing is perfect.

Emerging from the void, Wu Chen and the sword imbued with a high-level demonic weapon slashed out simultaneously. He seized the perfect moment—the instant the blood explosion was about to be unleashed—and in a split second, precisely severed the head of the supporting vampire!

'Boom!' Blood exploded from a very close distance.

Unlike the two that were killed earlier, this third high-level vampire, upon being attacked, chose to withstand the backlash and directly activate the spell in his hand. At the instant the blood exploded, all the rocks and soil within a radius of several meters melted instantly and mutated towards the putrid blood. In terms of sheer power, this vampire's innate magic was far stronger than conventional high-level magic.

It is extremely powerful.

The powerful force struck Wu Chen.

However, its final result was merely the removal of one layer of shields.

Seventh-tier magic, Void Shield.

Once every few seconds, it can completely negate external spells, spell-like effects, and supernatural force effects. Even if this Blood Explosion directly overloads the Void Shield's limit, the damage it should have inflicted on Wu Chen is completely eliminated.

The vampire's death throes were of no use.

Its body, cleaved by the sword and backfired by its own magic, then met its inevitable end.

The Mage's Joyful Spell: Dissociation!
