BXBX NOVEL Chapter 574
“Oh no! The Five Combination Team has gathered!” an Earth Mage wearing the crest of the Blumin Empire shouted in fear.
“Who are they?” an Earth Mage from the Crescent Empire asked as he fought against someone.
“When the five of them gather, they can fight 6-7 Earth Mages!” the Earth Mage responded fearfully.
The Imperial Crown Prince of the Blumin Empire became worried. His eyebrows were furrowed, and he stared at the five floating together. Fream, Gren, and Trok slowly floated backward.
Even if they hadn’t encountered the Trunden Empire in the past, it was still common for them to hear some rumors about this group of five. They weren’t idiots. They were from the Crescent Empire, but they had heard the explanation from the Earth Mage earlier.
Julianne smiled widely once she saw the two float behind her. She looked back at the trio.
“First Formation!”
Two rings of lights appeared above and below Fream. She panicked and immediately tried to escape.
*Thud!*
She hit the side of the barrier surrounding her, which was created by the two rings of light.
“Vacuum Tornado!”
“Piercing Spear!”
“God’s Smite!”
“Encapsulating Flame!”
Gregory, Otor, Pie, and Hupo swung their staffs together. The air around Fream overflowed with mana from five different elements.
Gren and Trok cast their own spells. They created two tornadoes that acted as barriers to protect Fream from the incoming spells.
Unfortunately, there were only three of them. The other Earth Mages were busy fighting the others.
“No!” Fream screamed.
The Vacuum Tornado sucked Fream in place, stopping her from moving. Then the Piercing Spear shot up from under her. Fream used a forbidden spell in desperation.
A shield completely made up of fire mana appeared under her. It was two feet thick and was quite bulky in size. It was completely filled with all of Fream’s mana.
*BANG!*
The earthen spear shattered on impact and cracked the thick wall of fire mana.
That wasn’t all. A small thundercloud appeared above her head. Fream looked up, and despair filled her eyes. She closed her eyes and decided to accept it all.
*BOOM!*
Just as the lightning bolt fell down, the fire mana around her turned into a red egg and compressed inwards. The explosion created by the lightning bolt caused the flaming egg to expand outwards before it was sucked back in.
The fire egg disappeared, and all that was left were fleeting gray ashes. A beauty had been lost in this world.
“Flee!” Trok shouted
He and Gren flew away as soon as they saw the ashes. They didn’t dare to linger around anymore. That attack combo scared the sh*t out of their asses.
…
Back to when Fream, Gren, and Trok just attacked the three envoys.
“Time for some stretching.”
Lawrend smirked at Yin. He was confident in himself even in the face of seven Earth Mages.
“I will show you my best spell!” Lawrend shouted excitedly.
“Stop him!” Yin ordered.
The six Earth Mages from the Crescent Empire joined together. They formed a crescent formation as they flew to him. They lifted their staffs up, and the mana from their respective elements gathered around their bodies.
The shadow of a moon appeared behind them. It was still daytime, so the appearance of the moon was very eerie and creepy.
“Moon? Haha! I have the sun!” Lawrend laughed.
The six Earth Mages weren’t pleased to see his arrogant act. Their manas flowed upwards and filled the moon. It turned into a rainbow moon with the sudden flood of mana from different elements.
“O’ Ra, bring us light, disperse the darkness, warm our cold hearts… Supernova!” Lawrend chanted.
The spell wasn’t finished, but he could supplement the missing parts with his imagination. In spells, the chant only made it easier to visualize the spell in your imagination. Even if the mage couldn’t imagine the spell, his subconscious could create it.
But using the imagination directly also had its own deficiencies. It wasn’t more powerful but weaker because words could command the world. When you say something, it tells everything around you what you want to do.
That meant that the mindless mana around you could work together more efficiently and create the spell you wanted to make. This was the basic principle as to why spells needed chants.
The fire mana in the surroundings gathered together in front of Lawrend. It sparked and created a superheated ball of fire. And then Lawrend poured his Divine Lightning Mana into it.
*Fwoosh!*
Several sunspots appeared on the sun’s surface. It spewed out blazing hot plasma.
The six Earth Mages became worried after feeling the two elements in the spell.
“Defend!” the Earth Mage in front shouted.
The crescent formation flipped with the opening facing away from Lawrend. A rainbow barrier appeared in front of them. The shadow of the moon encompassed them.
From afar, it looked like they were inside a hollow rainbow moon.
Lawrend expertly controlled the sun. He prevented it from exploding and maintained its form while he pushed the sun toward the six Earth Mages.
The six Earth Mages slowly retreated. Lawrend led them farther and farther away from the battlefield. Of course, the six of them were also glad they were farther away.
They had felt the outflow of mana when Lawrend used one of his spells before. Since he told them he would use his strongest mana, they could guess this was the spell he was talking about.
Soon, they floated six kilometers away from the battlefield.
“Ready?” Lawrend asked.
“Bring it on! There are six of us!” the Earth Mage in the lead responded bravely.
“Alright.”
Lawrend pushed his hands forward, and the sun rapidly gained speed as it flew towards the six. Consequently, Lawrend turned tail and ran. He was also scared of his own spell.
He wasn’t immune to it. He would die if he was too close to the explosion. With his current capabilities, defending against it was akin to suicide.
