The crystal giant's defenses are the sum of all those shattered stone golems combined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every inch of its body is a core—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unless you grind it completely into powder, even a single remaining pinky finger could still be enough to crush you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a true fight to the death:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>either you pulverize it into dust,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or it reduces you to a bloody smear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alan, I believe you can do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, back at Lioncrest Academy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>you already showed glimpses of developing mana Overpressure—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but only when Isabella was constantly in danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that... is not good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know it too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So today, this battle will temper you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, you'll learn how to unleash powerful mana Overpressure—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>without depending on Isabella's peril.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Old Gayle stepped back, retreating beyond the edges of the training field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Alan alone to face the towering crystal giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HUMMMM—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the crystal giant's surface burst into an intense, blinding glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It raised its massive hand, large enough to blot out the sun, and brought it smashing down toward Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan hurriedly dodged to the side—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but even so, the shockwave from the impact knocked him off balance, causing him to tumble across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... the speed's slower compared to before,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan muttered, dusting himself off and bracing a hand against his knee as he stood up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the power behind those strikes... is insane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this crystal giant was truly just an enhanced version of the previous stone golems,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then it must have inherited their critical weakness too:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its susceptibility to mana Overpressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even knowing this, Alan still felt helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Old Gayle had said—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>mana Overpressure wasn't something tangible or teachable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be grasped through sudden insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Alice as an example, Alan wasn't sure he could replicate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their backgrounds were too different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their worlds were too far apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless someone overwhelmingly powerful stood before him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>demonstrating mana Overpressure firsthand in real combat—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dodging another thunderous swipe from the giant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan's mind suddenly sparked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of memories surfaced in his mind—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>vivid and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the magic train that had carried him and Isabella to the Imperial Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the agents from the Church of Steam and Magic who had come looking for trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most of all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he remembered the mysterious black-robed woman who had appeared, saving them from disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she had fused the weakest Water Element into her Light Sword Spell—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and yet unleashed unimaginable destructive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Church's forces should have defended themselves with everything they had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they just stood there, frozen like statues,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as the black-robed woman calmly brought her sword down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, thinking back—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it wasn't just the sword's power that had paralyzed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mana Overpressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was still the Light Sword Spell,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there was something different about it—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>something overwhelming that made resistance impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan frowned deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Light Sword Spell's \"light\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was not merely referring to the Light Element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>any elemental force could be fused into the Light Sword Spell,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>creating miraculous combinations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't limited to Light magic at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the very logic of the Light Sword Spell defied traditional elemental theory—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which stated that opposing elements should naturally repel each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Like the classic conflict between Water and Fire Elements.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Light Sword Spell wasn't simply a \"Light-element-based\" attack technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a universal Sword Art—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one capable of burning, shredding, drowning, or crushing enemies depending on the elemental fusion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this time, Alan had been misled by the spell's name,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>assuming that it required Light Element as its foundation to achieve its maximum power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he had been dead wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As memories of the black-robed woman's swordplay flooded back to him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan extended his hands and conjured two elemental longswords—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one in each hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without using Light as a base,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the energy of these swords looked a little darker, less brilliant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but their killing power had not diminished at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his left hand, Alan held a blade crackling with a raging storm of wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his right, a sword blazing with fierce, uncontrollable flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind fueling fire—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>an unstoppable combination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, in Alan's eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a violent Battle Spirit ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying surge of mana Overpressure\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>began emanating from his body, rippling outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the ground,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the rubble left behind by the shattered golems started to tremble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if fearing some monstrous predator,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the stones rolled and shifted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>desperately trying to flee from Alan's presence.\u003C\u002Fp>",1274,"2026-06-06T15:56:33.624Z",1,"novelbin.me","e3cb95937bdcf908ea0f6c77a896f1c5689386e5989972df85c62e6b7c9276ae","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-515","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-514",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
