Chapter 440: Magic Immunity

One reason the frank-speaking Jiang Xia dislikes Oma's fused form so much is his appearance; Oma's appearance afterwards is like that of an aberrant mage, turning all the knightly elements on his body into monsters.

For example, that black cloak stained with blood, and the bloody skull on his chest; what makes him even more disgusted is that these are piled up from human lives. He isn't not angry; he just wants to be as pure as possible when he kills Oma, facing him with the attitude he'd have toward chickens, ducks, and geese.

Oma let out a roar, but this time it wasn't just venting his anger; he was casting magic while roaring. Now he can unleash many spells whose power exceeds a mage's imagination without needing any magic ring.

The fire elements around quickly condensed, that scorching flame forming an extremely high-temperature fire dragon vortex; even the temperature is high enough to melt an indestructible alloy into molten iron, approaching the surface temperature of the sun.

This is the power of a mage at the peak; although his mental state is a bit unstable, a casual strike can destroy most objects in the world, and because his magic is nearly limitless, he can even increase the power of his magic without limit.

This strike is merely an ordinary fire spell, but its power exceeds the flame temperature of the fire dragon form of the one who controls true clarity by more than tenfold, and not even any mage can withstand this attack.

Jiang Xia looked at the dazzling fire dragon vortex, merely spread his palm, lightly curled his fingers, and the fire dragon vortex before him instantly turned into a water-like shape, automatically drilling into his palm, even the heat originally generated by the fire dragon vortex being absorbed as well.

"Tastes good." This fused magic can even cause subtle changes in his body, its quality surpassing that of the phoenix's magic, which has died who knows how many times.

Following that came an ocean of golden lightning resembling heavenly punishment, which is also Oma's most familiar and most-used lightning magic.

"No matter what level of magic that is, it's useless against me as long as it's based on magic." Jiang Xia didn't even raise his hand; that world-destroying thunder had already been merged into the air.

The earth-attributed rock shackles shattered into fragments before even approaching; that power could split the sea, and the chill that had frozen ten thousand miles of ice was like a drop of water merging into the sea in the air, without raising a single ripple.

Within just a few seconds, countless splendid magic circles surrounded this vast space—earth, fire, wind, water—all top-tier attack magic, yet just like the previous fire dragon vortex, they were all completely absorbed.

Although Oma clearly knew that magic had no effect on Jiang Xia, he continued to unleash those attack magics containing great magical power, until a certain moment.

"How can your body contain so much magic without collapsing? You're not human, not even a phantom; what are you? Why can you swallow so much magic without any side effects?"

Oma's voice quickly grew hoarse, like that of a very old man, but his mental state no longer had that hysterical feeling.

This is because the two Omas, although the same person, differ in age by an unknown amount, so when they first fused, a consciousness shift occurred.

However, this situation will gradually unify over time, but for now the distinction is still quite obvious.

"I'm just an ordinary person, an ordinary mage." Jiang Xia spread his hands, "Only my talent is slightly special."

Jiang Xia knew his shock; even a phantom capable of absorbing magic isn't invincible, such phantoms cannot absorb magic without limit.

Their bodies cannot withstand this exceeding-limit power; if overly strong magic is poured into their bodies in a short time, they will be directly blown apart.

Whether a person harboring a phantom can control it or not, excess magic will force the host into despair—namely, the skin cracks open—this is the first step of the Witch's Banquet, and an ordinary person without magic who is forcibly infused with magic will die directly.

The artificial phantom developed by Di Mu Zuo has the same flaw. After he immediately absorbed the magic of the person who controls true clarity, he used it to restore the forest barrier; first, because he wanted to conserve magic to hold the Witch's Night Banquet, second, because his absorption has a limit—otherwise he wouldn't need four mages to use the Witch's Night Banquet's magic circle; he could provide it himself.

The Chimera, being a phantom stitched together from many animals and feeding on magic, has a much larger capacity, but it too has a limit.

But Jiang Xia is different; the abilities and forms he inherited stack together rather than being separate, and he uses his absorption ability with his own body as the container.

His own energy isn't enough to break the limit, which means that no matter how immense the magic opposing him, he is merely delivering vegetables.

Oma finally realized how terrifying the monster before him was; the opponent possesses magic-nullification ability, he is the master of elements, so the opponent is the devourer of elements—basically a mage killer.

"Even if you have magic immunity, you still can't be my opponent."

Instantly before Oma appeared a connecting magic circle, and then the bright red skull on his body seemed to come alive.

When he drew a long axe from his hand, the red skull bit onto the axe; the surging crimson blood gushed from the skull's hollow, completely covering the axe.

As the axe was completely enveloped by the skull, a bloody red light suddenly flashed on its front segment; the illuminated area quickly elongated, and under the gathering of power, the axe turned into a huge reaper's scythe reeking strongly of blood.

This is a weapon forged from countless human bones, and it also overlays their immortal power within, enough to cleave anything blocking the way.

Mages are meant for close combat, and as a phantom, close combat is his strongest style; so since magic is ineffective, let's fight hand-to-hand, deciding the outcome with physical attacks.

"Have you finally given up using magic?" Jiang Xia looked at the scythe shrouded in bloody light, silently pulling out the Hope Magic Ring.

At this moment, Oma realized that up to now the opponent had never transformed, remaining in human form to oppose him, which reignited the fire in his heart.

But even with his heart burning with rage, he didn't rashly charge forward, because he recognized the magic ring in Jiang Xia's hand; its strange fluctuation, like a dancer constantly twisting her waist, attracted his gaze—it was the Philosopher's Stone! "I'm still using this ring for the first time; I hope the Philosopher's Stone lives up to its name."

Jiang Xia swayed his magic belt at the waist, placing the Hope Magic Ring there.

At that moment, it was as if a meteor fell upon him, and like a sleeping dragon letting out a roar, silver-white light burst forth; a huge crystal white dragon descended from the heavens, its diamond-bright shadow coiling around Jiang Xia, the mercury-like magic circle from below upward slowly enveloped his body, gradually forming a silver-white humanoid statue.

「「Infinity！「Infinity！「Infinity！「Infinity！……」
