Ebes ordered his servant to fetch someone, while at the same time, the city guards came to report another piece of bad news:
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The remnants of the old Nesserian forces are hunting down nobles indiscriminately!"
Misfortune followed one after another. Knowing that such things would happen sooner or later, Ebes remained calm and raised his hand to command: "Have the royal army maintain order and make sure not too many people die."
His children and wife had already been transferred to other kingdoms in advance, so Ebes could keep the royal guards in order without any worries. As for the servants in the palace, let them run away if they want; after all, there were only some ordinary antiques on display outside anyway.
but……
A surge of savagery rose within Abes as his gaze swept over the surrounding servants. He subtly rotated the red-glowing bone ring on his hand, his thoughts suddenly filled with malevolence:
If I were to die, why would I leave behind these servants and even the residents of the city?
Once the dark thoughts appeared, they could not be eliminated. Ebes summoned the captain of the guard who was most loyal to him and ordered him to imprison the servant in the dungeon.
If he could overcome the difficulties, his servants would naturally be safe and sound; but if he died at the hands of Maginus, his servants would not be able to live either.
As for the city's residents, Ebes explicitly told the captain of the guard that after his death, he must start a massacre and not let Maginus get away with it.
"Don't be so pessimistic, you still have one last way out," the man in black robes reassured him again. "At worst, you can enter the temple of our lord, and K will definitely protect you."
Neither Ebes nor the members of the Church of Slaughter expected that Maginus's real intention was to destroy the underground catacombs to prevent them from entering the caverns.
As a divine child, her complete indifference to the treasures left behind by the god of slaughter in the temple was an unpredictable situation.
Meteor Explosion!
The meteor burst was the first move, and the scorching fireballs crashed into the army, creating four deep craters. The Nesery side suffered heavy casualties immediately. The sudden meteor burst stunned everyone. Then, the soldiers of the capital shouted with joy, while the Nesery side fell into chaos.
"Damn..."
A surge of powerful magic emanated from Ebes. Protected by the anti-magic field, Joseph looked through his telescope at the royal army's camp and waved his flag, ordering all soldiers to retreat.
"We should have made our move a long time ago, Maginus Imperius. If you hadn't come out soon, all your soldiers would have been wiped out!"
A burst of wild laughter rang out, and a Bloodstained Society warrior wielding a large sword leaped and slashed, creating a wave of earth that sent all the surrounding soldiers flying.
In addition to the four high-ranking officials who had been present in the capital, four more high-ranking officials from the Bloodstained Society arrived.
"No, eight people alone are definitely no match for His Majesty, could it be that..."
Joseph considered a terrifying possibility and ordered the entire army to retreat at top speed. Ebes ordered the soldiers who wanted to give chase to retreat, and nervously stared at the Nesery army, waiting for the person he was waiting for to appear.
The degraded killers were still in pursuit, and a high-ranking member of the Bloodstained Society caught up with them. However, halfway there, the high-ranking member's hair stood on end, and he frantically retreated. The degraded killers collapsed to the ground in an instant, their hearts and brains completely shattered.
The battlefield was now empty, and a heavy atmosphere permeated the air. Heavy breathing emanated from the Nesserian army, and everyone could hear the unusually loud breathing.
The soldiers spontaneously parted to make way, and Maginus, dressed in a scarlet dress, had somehow arrived on the battlefield. She walked step by step out of the crowd to the front of the army, staring at Ebes in the distance, as well as the Bloodstained Society's enemies.
She lost interest in them after just one glance and looked further away. The legendary mage of the Evocation system, Moserjak, avoided her gaze, knowing that a battle was inevitable, and decisively chose to open a high-level portal to escape this place of trouble.
Chapter 529 Final Battle 2
"This is the first formal meeting since I fled, Ebeslutti, and of course, the first meeting with all of you, my enemies."
Turning her gaze away, Maginus glanced at the back of these high-ranking members, then met the eyes of Ebes and all her enemies again. She didn't know whether she should be happy or not; at least half of the Bloodstained Society members who had killed her relatives had arrived, saving her the trouble of searching for them.
Ebes and the other high-ranking members wanted to look directly at Maginus to show their courage, but the oppressive force emanating from her red-gold pupils forced them all to look away.
"..."
A high-ranking member of the Bloodstained Guild opened his mouth, attempting to shout and curse on the battlefield. However, he couldn't utter a word no matter how many times he opened his mouth. His body resisted his thoughts, or rather, subconsciously he simply didn't dare to do such a thing.
The man in black robes trembled as he watched Maginus's perfect body recoil in fear, suddenly realizing that everything he had done was probably in vain.
He was a priest, and as a priest, he knew to some extent what caused the mysterious radiance and aura emanating from Maginus.
No, I can't think like that! The great god of slaughter will protect me!
“Priest of the God of Slaughter, it seems that you are partly responsible for the destruction of our family. It was you who spread the word that there was treasure beneath the palace.”
Looking at the man in black robes, Maginus also sensed a familiar aura of slaughter. His strength was greater than that of some divine children, but he lacked divinity. He was undoubtedly a priest of the god of slaughter.
There are probably many such beings scattered across the continent, waiting to serve a rising god of slaughter, though of course, not someone like her who has completely mastered divinity.
Waving for the army to retreat, Maginus stood in the center of the completely cleared battlefield, beckoning to Ebes and the others to come over:
"Come on, just the few of us. Don't drag the army into this. I still want to keep some men for myself."
Her remarks were somewhat casual, but Abes was overjoyed to hear them. Maginus's most terrifying ability was to devour the lives of others to restore her own power.
In a normal high-level battle, it's not that armies can't join in; if there are enough of them, they might be able to wear down the high-level professionals.
But things are not normal now. Maginus wants to keep more subordinates and soldiers, and Ebes doesn't want her to gain more vitality.
They had originally devised a plan to stop Maginus from consuming life force, which saved them a lot of spells.
He also raised his hand to signal the royal army, which was only a hindrance, to withdraw, and soon only high-ranking beings remained around.
"Are you ready? I'm about to make my move. The legend of the Bloodstained Society should be emerging by now, or perhaps we should wait a little longer?"
With a rhythmic tap of his fingers, Maginus stared behind Ebes. The Blood Hunt had long since locked onto the hidden legend, yet he still felt Maginus was bluffing him and had no desire to come out.
Seeing this, Maginus stopped bringing it up. Since Maginus wouldn't come out, he would deal with the rest of them first.
She raised her hand to aim at the enemy in front of her. The melee fighters had already closed in while she raised her hand, and all of their weapons were aimed at her vital points. Moreover, each of their attacks was filled with negative energy.
They were truly well-prepared to deal with her, knowing that to fight her, they had to wear down her life force first.
However, before the weapon could hit, Maginus disappeared into the encirclement, leaving behind only a lot of silver dust.
The Mysterious Step.
The enemy's heart sank. The weapons that were about to collide were pulled back by the professionals, and they did not collide. Maginus, who was standing not far away, looked very relaxed and raised his hand again.
Time stops!
The mage didn't want to give her a chance to act, so he tried to stop time by freezing the surroundings, rendering Maginus unable to move, and then he cast a spell to surround her.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that someone had used time stop during the Blood Lake incident, when Maginus was still able to move, let alone now.
She blinked, her movements hampered by immense pressure, but she was still able to move.
The nearby mage noticed Maginus's shifting eyeballs and was momentarily stunned, then his hair stood on end.
Intuition warned the mage to retreat immediately. She decisively pricked herself with a hidden silver needle, triggering a chain of unexpected spells. Instant spatial spells were cast one after another, sending her more than a hundred meters away.
Dispel the time-stop anti-magic field!
Since Maginus can move within the time stop, she couldn't possibly use her magic to aid the enemy and have Maginus attack her own teammates, so she decisively dispelled the spell.
When the others came to their senses and realized that the mage had moved to a position far away from them without their knowledge, they immediately understood what had happened, but they were also puzzled as to why Maginus was not injured at all.
An anti-magic field deployed, and the liquid life force that was about to rise dissipated. The mage breathed a sigh of relief and shouted:
"She can resist time stopping!"
As they spoke, a strong gust of wind swept towards the female mage's face. Maginus, using only his physical speed, rushed in front of her and forcefully swung his hand down at the mage.
The high-ranking ranger in the distance prevented the mage from dying on the spot. He fired an extremely hard arrow, the arrowhead carrying a huge impact that caused Maginus's hand to deflect.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the warrior grabbed the mage and pulled her back, bringing his greatsword down towards Maginus's head, but she blocked it with her other hand.
Before the anti-magic field could be removed, Maginus's crooked arm automatically returned to its original position, and the arrow embedded in her palm was pushed out of her flesh.
This was accomplished entirely by the body and pure life force spontaneously, without any influence from psychic energy.
Her regenerative abilities have become stronger once again.
Everyone's heart sank. Maginus tapped her fingers rhythmically, her smile undeniably warm, but to the people of Ebes, it was terrifying:
"If all my enemies were as strong as you, I would be really heartbroken. I would use every means at my disposal and hope to completely crush you from the inside out."
At this moment, Maginus seemed a little carried away with her pride. In reality, much of her attention was focused on the constantly moving Bloodstained Legend, who was moving very fast. She was probably thinking of a way to kill him with one blow.
Ebes rubbed the bone ring on his finger, exchanged a glance with the priest, and reached a consensus. He commanded the melee fighters to charge forward, while he and the black-robed priest remained in place, chanting incantations.
The magic and faith power on the two disappeared at an extremely fast speed, or rather, merged into magic and divine arts.
At this moment, Maginus finally felt a sense of danger and stopped playing cat and mouse. Blood waves rose from the ground to stop the harassment of several high-ranking mages, and her body transformed into a dragon as she charged towards the mages.
It was at this moment that Abes and the black-robed priest prepared themselves and began chanting incantations with their mouths closed.
Prayer! Miracle!
Chapter 530 The Narrow Gap Between Life and Death
What is the most powerful spell/divine magic in the world?
Spellcasters have differing opinions on this. Some believe that brute force is the strongest, while others believe that maximizing control is the strongest. Still others believe that it is necessary to enhance oneself. Each spellcaster has different inclinations and views.
But if you were to ask what the spell/divine art with the highest potential and the highest potential in the world is, every spellcaster would give the same answer.
Without a doubt, it is definitely a wish spell and a miracle spell.
Both are remarkably similar in usage and structure, utilizing magic and the power of faith to accomplish their goals. Simply by loudly proclaiming their wishes, they can manipulate the very foundations of the world and "achieve whatever they desire."
Well, the last sentence is a bit of an exaggeration, but of course there are prerequisites. The bigger the wish, the greater the probability of making a mistake.
The energy poured into wish spells and miracle spells represents the maximum limit of the wish that can be fulfilled. If the energy is insufficient to fulfill the wish normally, the wish will be fulfilled in a distorted way.
For example, wishing for a bad person to die might allow someone to travel to a time many years in the future, after that person has already died.
Alternatively, wishing for a legendary magical item or artifact might instantly teleport a person to the item's current owner.
Casting a Wish/Miracle spell to achieve any purpose other than mimicking other spells places a great burden on the caster.
After bearing this burden, until a complete rest is achieved, each time a spell is cast, there will be a backlash from the power of magic and faith. This is a consequence of the distorted world, and the damage cannot be mitigated or prevented in any way, such as by restoration spells.
The caster's body will also completely decay over nearly 8 days. Most importantly, if they bear this burden, there is a 33% chance that they will never be able to cast the Prayer spell again.
The most stable way to use it is naturally to use Prayer/Miracle spells to simulate magic that you would not use, so that you will not suffer any backlash.
Miracles are slightly safer than Prayer, as they require praying to the gods or the world itself and expressing one's wishes.
If one's own strength is insufficient to accomplish the task, the priest who prays to the gods will be rejected by the gods and unable to complete this miracle.
Of course, if the deity is in a passive response or if the priest is praying to nature itself, then this treatment is not available.
……
The two used the Prayer and Miracle spells because they couldn't think of a way to bind Maginus, so they took a desperate gamble, hoping to use the two spells to control Maginus once, giving the legend enough time to launch a devastating attack.
To the limit of what energy can achieve, completely bind Maginus Imperius for a period of time!
Great god of slaughter! Please bestow a miracle, and with my current strength, bind Maginus Imperius for a time!
The two did not speak. After casting their spells, they silently recited the effects they hoped their wish spells/miracles would achieve. Having discussed their strategy, they pointed towards Maginus.
Sensing what spell they were about to unleash from the incantation, Maginus decisively manipulated her life force to disperse in all directions. However, before the life force could completely dissipate, a strong sense of confinement enveloped her two bodies.
For a fleeting moment, she was unable to move, and at the same time, she knew clearly when this irresistible restraint would end—just two seconds later.
interesting.
On the ground, "Magnus," who was dealing with the crowd, narrowed her eyes and realized that the Bloodstained Legend had come up behind her. She then manipulated her body to struggle desperately.
That's right, there are two Maginus, one on the ground and one hiding underground. Because they are close to each other, they are both the "original body" and are controlled by their own souls.
During her two-month seclusion, she had already become a legendary figure, and now she was truly only bestowing despair and fear upon them.
Her enhanced immortality ability was named the Narrow Passage of Life and Death by herself.
She has been completely preserved in the "space between life and death," and can survive even with just a drop of blood left, which can be found anywhere in the world, regardless of distance.
Her soul can no longer be sealed by spells such as Soul Binding, Imprisonment, or Demon Soul Pot; at least, mortal spells cannot.
Of course, it takes time to gain vitality, so in order to ensure that her vitality is not completely lost at once, Maggie deliberately divided her body into two parts. Even if one part is lost, she can still crawl out of the ground again.
In the distance, Aibes and the man in the black robe coughed up a mouthful of blood. Their originally robust bodies inevitably weakened, and their life force inexplicably drained, leaving them emaciated.
Weakened by the powerful magic, they braced themselves against the falling bodies and, upon confirming that Maginus was unable to move, stared wide-eyed at the legend who had suddenly appeared behind her.
The incantation echoed in Maginot's ears, and before it was even finished, she knew that her body on the ground was probably about to disappear.
Shattering Technique!
A surge of intense energy emanated from Maginot's body, causing her chest to swell and burst open, the intense energy spreading outwards from her.
The life force around her, and even the life force within her body, was being burned, causing her body to fall into a state of complete disintegration.
As her head spun in the air, Maginus finally saw the attacker's appearance: a withered old man wrapped in incantation bandages, his soul fire shining brightly beneath his cloudy eyes.
Is he turning himself into a mummy?
Gazing at the remains of Maginus's body, the Bloodstained Legend, through her curious eyes, realized that Maginus was not dead. Taking advantage of the remaining two seconds, she unleashed a series of powerful spells.
Raising its hand again, it uttered a malevolent incantation, exhaling a breath of foul air that landed on the body fragments. Powerful negative energy enveloped the remains, corroding them as much as possible.
