Chapter 396

Watching his magic barrier pierced through by that soil, Ougast's pupils instantly contracted, revealing a look of utter shock on his face.

Although that barrier hadn't mobilized too much magical power, the magic contained within was enough to withstand several terrifying spells—after all, even a full-force strike from a Heavenly King might not be able to shatter it directly.

And now, a handful of dirt that Regulus had casually scooped from the ground had broken through his magic barrier—how could Ougast possibly not be shocked?

Thinking of this, Ougast released several more spells in succession, launching them as attacks~

But without exception, none of them could alter the falling speed of the soil, let alone change its direction.

The Lion's Heart is one of the extraordinarily powerful Authorities among the many.

Apart from granting him terrifying defensive power, its most essential strength lies in the fact that it can also cause objects other than himself to acquire the same Authority state as his own.

Such as air, water, soil, trees—everything, every object he can touch.

After being granted by Regulus, these objects will be launched outward maintaining a perfectly uniform speed.

Because its essence is being isolated outside of time and space, the objects thrown out cannot be blocked, cannot be intercepted.

No matter how powerful the force, in the face of Authority it will all be torn apart in an instant.

"What is going on here."

Watching the soil about to fall, Ougast's heart trembled violently; and while his heart was trembling violently, seeing that he could not block it, Ougast also reacted accordingly.

"Swift Wind Power!"

Rumble rumble—!

A gust of swift wind instantly materialized beneath Ougast's feet; with a stamp of his legs, Ougast immediately escaped the area where the soil was falling.

But just as he had barely escaped the danger zone, Regulus's next attack came rushing in from the other side.

"Try this move of mine, old man."

Two fingers bent, thumb pressed down, then suddenly flicked.

Immediately, two air-bullets imbued with unstoppable force burst forth from Regulus's two fingers toward Ougast's position.

It must be said that after being imbued with Authority, all of Regulus's attacks are isolated within the gaps of time and space—even magical power cannot sense them.

Unless observed with the naked eye, their trajectory and speed are completely unknowable.

Seeing the air-bullets coming at him, Ougast dodged once more.

And while dodging, Ougast channeled his magic power, causing a massive fireball imbued with tremendous magic to materialize at the tip of his staff.

Accompanied by Ougast's swing, it dispersed the mist toward Regulus's position and fell with a fierce crash.

"Fusion Light Pillar! @"

Rumble rumble—!

Violent and scorching magical power instantly spread outward, in an instant covering several hundred meters of ground along with the trees; then flames suddenly erupted, piercing through heaven and earth.

Not only that, along with the rise of the fire pillar, surges of intense heat struck out in all directions like tidal waves.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand meters of Mist Forest instantly transformed into a sea of fire, faintly illuminating the originally very dim otherworld.

However,

"Hey hey hey, old man, surely you only have this tiny bit of strength."

At this moment, that extremely loathsome and irritating figure appeared once again.

Accompanying his movement, as if there were an invisible wall around his body, the flames automatically parted as he walked.

Although Ougast's strike was impressively powerful, under the Lion's Heart Authority, it still had no effect on Regulus.

Seeing this, at this very moment, even Ougast—who bore the title of 'Magic King'—could not help but reveal a shade of gloom in his gaze toward Regulus.

Clearly, Regulus's ability was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

"Worthy of being hailed as the Magic King—a casual strike already possesses such astonishing power."

At the same time, Lin Cheng, who had broken free from the Pingyi Society's side and was observing the battle through Regulus's vision, also let out a gasp of admiration at Ougast's strength.

Although Ougast could do nothing to Regulus, likewise, Regulus alone could not harm Ougast by even a single hair.

It could be said that even if he could not win, Ougast would absolutely not lose.

If it weren't for the fact that his other two companions were tied up and delayed, coupled with Ougast's own curiosity about the 'Great Will' fragment.

Ougast would have long since left—he's not the hot-blooded type like Natsu, who upon seeing a powerful enemy will keep fighting until one of them falls.

However, in reality, even if Ougast wanted to withdraw, Lin Cheng would not simply let him leave just like that.

· ·······Seeking flowers····· ·····

After all, the real show was only about to begin, and he had even rushed over from another battlefield just for this; to simply let Ougast leave like that, who would this grand otherworld fragment fusion show be performed for?

"The real show is only just about to begin."

……

As time went on, they, who had originally held the advantage, gradually let the opposing side seize the initiative due to carelessness and underestimating the enemy.

While he was fighting Regulus, on the other side, Timaria and Wahl had also failed to gain even the slightest advantage against their respective opponents.

In fact, under the Authority of the enraged Dazuisi Sect, both Timaria and Wahl had suffered minor injuries.

After all, in the course of battle, wanting to completely avoid being harmed by an enemy is undoubtedly extremely difficult, let alone in a battle of this level.

During this period, Ougast had thought more than once about stepping in to help them, but every time he tried to act, Regulus—as if he had a premonition—appeared before him at extreme speed to block his action.

Although from the start of the battle until now, the three of them had not consumed too much magical power, if the battle continued like this, they would eventually be worn down to death.

Coupled with the fact that the current environment was extremely unfavorable to them, even with Ougast among them, they could very well lose.

"No good, if the battle continues like this, I'll be worn to death."

With a shift of his mind, Ougast immediately began to act, and the look in his eyes toward Regulus also underwent some change.

"Regulus, is it?"

"For the next strike, you'd better be ready to receive it."

Ougast's right hand suddenly shot high; then from his right hand, the magical power within his body surged out madly and began to gather.

The swirling magical power also stirred the surrounding air, along with... the continuously burning flames.

Under Augustus's control, a terrifying flame tornado nearly a thousand meters tall appeared.

However,

All of this was not yet over. With the wind fueling the fire, and given the abundance of trees in the surroundings, this flame tornado grew ever larger.

Its terrifying degree had already surpassed a thousand meters, and was still rising, still rising! Death.
