The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 87 The Triple Legendary Path

Guirasser used divine magic to summon one illusory, dark blue longsword after another—the iconic weapon representing the Elf God and the Elf race.

[Multiple Spirit Weapons]!
The priest pushed with both hands, and all the illusory spirit swords pierced towards Elian, who was locked in the force field prison.

At this moment, Elian remained calm, watching the golden cell envelop him and the illusory longswords shooting from all sides.

"good."

"They imprisoned me in a narrow force field that perfectly matched my size, making it difficult for me to fly, dodge, or avoid attacks."

"I deliberately designed the force field prison to have gaps, made of bars, instead of airtight walls, so that my teammates' attacks could hit me, and I would have no way to leave the prison."

“Under normal circumstances, I could escape the prison by teleportation. But many human mages had already joined forces to seal off the space, which made me trapped in my own web—at least that's what they thought.”

"She conceived of tactics in an instant and immediately utilized an environment that should have been disadvantageous to her as a weapon to limit her opponent. This Sun Elf princess's magical combat skills are indeed quite impressive..."

In that brief moment, Elian made an assessment of his opponent in his mind, while remaining calm and composed.

Elian quickly formed a hand seal and cast a low-level spell.

[Vaporized Form]

In the next instant, the human monarch's body suddenly turned into a cloud of pure white mist, easily slipping out from the gaps in the prison.

Ding ding ding ding ding.

One after another, illusory, pale blue longswords pierced the force field cage that remained stationary, but failed to actually harm the target.

"Damn humans!"

Lia was furious to see that her and Guiras's clever combination attack had been easily countered by a simple spell from the human mage on the other side.

In the next ten seconds or so, Leah and Gurasser immediately unleashed one spell after another, with colorful flashes of light rapidly appearing in the air.

Despite the approaching spell, Elion remained completely calm.

Once you enter the legendary realm, leveling up becomes incredibly difficult and slow.

Each level between elementary, intermediate, and advanced legendary is extremely difficult.

After 10 years of honing his magical power and harmonizing with the primordial magic of the universe, Elian's magic level has risen from the newly promoted Elementary Legendary to the normal level of Elementary Legendary, but it is still incredibly far from being a Middle Legendary.

Even at this speed, it's nothing short of incredible genius. Much faster than Elian at the same age in his previous life.

After all, whether in his past life or this one, Elian wasn't known for the speed of his advancement, but rather for the distance he traveled...

Currently, in terms of magical power alone, he is even somewhat inferior to Princess Lia in front of him.

However, the magic level on the panel is not enough to reflect Elian's true level!

Faced with the combined attack of two novice legends, Elion remained calm and composed.

Sometimes, an illusion takes the attack in place of the user, while the real user appears elsewhere; sometimes, a small animal that looks like a magical pet suddenly crawls out from the user's collar and spits out a spell; sometimes, a simple snap of the fingers triggers three spells in quick succession, forcing two opponents to defend...

Elian did not display more magical power than his two opponents, nor did he use any particularly powerful spells.

However, every spell he cast was perfectly timed, skillfully deflecting his opponent's attacks and creating corresponding threats!
"How could this be? How could this be? How could this be?"

"We're fighting 2 against 1, and I'm the combat genius among the Sun Elves as the commander. Why don't we have any advantage against an opponent of the same level!"

"I can clearly sense that this human's magic power level is even lower than mine. How is that possible?"

"Who exactly is this human?"

"Why can he trigger a chain of three spells with just one action?"

"What kind of creature is that little animal in my arms? A magical pet shouldn't have this kind of fighting power..."

What terrified Leah even more was that during this brief moment of intense battle, the other high-level human combatants simply watched them silently without making a move.

A terrifying truth was etched into Leah's mind:
This human king alone could handle two of the three at the same time.

What if other attackers join the fray?

As if by unspoken agreement, Serka Radiance, one of the three, had regained her composure, standing with her hands behind her back, quietly confronting all the powerful humans surrounding her.

It's as if an unspoken, tacit understanding has been reached—

He alone stood in a stalemate with six ninth-ring grand mages and more than 30 high-level mages, neither side making a move.

"Ah."

Serka smiled faintly to herself:

Since we can't win anyway, why bother?
Are we going to get beaten up by this group?
Even without taking action, it can still intimidate the enemy!
Now, it's really too embarrassing to say something like, "The only legendary spell I know is to create a demiplane for 3000 people to have a super lavish party."

Just then, Serka suddenly heard the powerful mage Gut in the air shout:
"Alright, is the game over?"

“We’ve already shown these elves how powerful Your Majesty is. There’s no need for Your Majesty to fight alone. It’s time for us to make our move.”

"Alright!" Kade spread his arms, and the invisible [Suppression of Spirits Domain] expanded outwards.

One-third of the other high-ranking mages simultaneously strengthened the field in their own ways, making it larger, more effective, more stable, and harder to dispel. The remaining two-thirds then cast different spells on the three in the center.

"Oh no, it's this area again..."

Leah gritted her teeth in anger, her fingertips twitching slightly, about to mislead the domain's criteria for judging "elves".

This time, however, her resistance was ineffective.

He felt his magic power level being suppressed, reduced to the level he had when he first advanced to the initial legendary rank.

All that could be seen was that the high-level mages around them raised their hands at the same time, and many colorful points of light lit up in all directions, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were daytime.

The Archmage of Prophecy, Cassandra, suddenly gleamed, twisting the fates of the elves, Leah Sunshine and Guirasser Goldflake; the Archmage of Transformation, Helen, unleashed a cloud of black mist, threatening to transform all her opponents into animals simultaneously; the Archmage of Evocation, Gut, chanted a powerful incantation, creating a massive force field that instantly covered the land below, preventing the three from escaping underground; the Dragon Vein Sorcerer, Gret, summoned a blazing pillar of fire, depleting Leah's "Trigger" spell…

"No, no, no, we'll die! We have to defend ourselves and stop these humans..."

Leah and Guirasser fought with all their might to defend against and counter the magic that was attacking from all directions by the humans.

But they watched in despair as Elian easily restrained the two of them, giving them no chance to put up any resistance.

The only one not restricted, Serka Radiance, remained still, calmly watching the dazzling lights illuminating all around, awaiting her destined fate.

Multicolored light shone in all directions.

ended.

……

"The spell materials kit has been taken, and the anti-magic collar has been put on. Now remove the petrification."

Before the numerous high-ranking human spellcasters stood three stone statues of monkeys, each bound tightly by rune-inlaid chains, and each wearing a magic-suppressing collar that Elian had recently created.

As the petrification was lifted, the three stone statues turned into three living monkeys.

As soon as Leah was freed from her petrified state, she began to curse:
"Squeak squeak squeak, squeak squeak squeak!"

Fearing that the princess would further provoke the enemy, Serka Radiance quickly tried to dissuade her:
"Squeak."

"Uh... Helen, let's deactivate the transformation too."

Bang bang bang.

As wisps of black mist rose, the three monkeys transformed back into their original forms.

Lia glared ahead, while Priestess Guirasser lowered her head and remained silent, her body trembling slightly, clearly showing some fear.

Serka, with his refined appearance, could barely be considered composed.

In fact, seeing that the humans did not seek to kill them directly but instead captured the three of them, Serka Radiance's panicked heart had already calmed down a lot.

It was precisely because he recognized that the human magic was aimed at subduing the three rather than killing them that he did not put up much resistance!
Otherwise, I would definitely give it a shot.

“Seka Radiance, you are the pride of the Radiance family. Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous. We’ve just been captured…”

"At worst, I'll end up like Alamir, locked up. Uh... I might get a few more beatings."

"We represent the Elven Royal Court, after all, and our status is noble. As long as these humans aren't provoked, they shouldn't dare to kill us, right...?"

Serka quickly reassured herself in her mind, and her pounding heart gradually calmed down.

"Cough cough."

He coughed lightly twice, mentally considering the rhetoric he would use when negotiating with humans:
First, feign composure, establish your identity, and tell the humans that if anything happens to you, the Elven Royal Court will definitely retaliate.

Then, kneel down in surrender, sincerely repent, and promise never to cross the border again, begging humanity to forgive them!

The stark contrast between the beginning and the end...

How could mere humans possibly withstand such a defense?

If humanity refuses to release him, he'll end up like Alamir, imprisoned. At least that way he'll save his life.

That's right, that's exactly it, you're so smart, Serka!
Serka Radiance feigned composure, showing no fear, and addressed Elian in a negotiating manner:

"You must be the king of mankind."

"Indeed, you've successfully captured us."

"However, you should know that the three of us are legends of the Elven Royal Court, symbolizing the glory of the entire Elven race."

"Princess Lia is also of royal lineage; she is the daughter of the current Sun Elf King, and a few years ago, she was even granted the title of Crown Princess..."

“That’s right, Serka is absolutely right!” Lia shouted.

"Therefore, we will never submit to you, you inferior races that don't even have gods."

"We swear we will never surrender!"

Wait, wait, wait, I made a mistake... Serka roared inwardly.
