Chapter 2569

Half an hour later, on the ground scorched to a glass-like state by high temperatures, a spellcaster was crawling forward, two slash marks intersecting on his back.

"I cannot die, I am the apprentice of Lord Walker..."

A slash light struck, ending his life. Whose apprentice he was no longer mattered.

In the flames, Su Xiao exhaled hot air. Of the 102 Seventh Tier spellcasters, he had already killed 73, and the rest had scattered and fled.

After fighting these spellcasters, Su Xiao discovered that there are two abilities that can be called divine skills for dealing with spellcasters: one is Energy Blocking, which is the basis for one-versus-many; the second is Magic-Immune Constitution.

After truly fighting spellcasters, Su Xiao noticed one thing: these spellcasters' magic control is ridiculously strong. In many people's impressions, when spellcasters use high-tier magic-type abilities, there is a brewing process.

But after clashing with the spellcasters, Su Xiao found that this was not the case. Even for large-scale spells capable of affecting 2 kilometers instantly, the spellcasters only needed to raise a hand, and the large-scale spell would bombard down directly.

The role of the Magic-Immune Constitution is highlighted at this time. If he couldn't dodge, he would use Magic-Immune Constitution + crystal layer to resist head-on. The crystal layer is derived from Blade of the Dark Shadow energy, and its defensive power against magic-type abilities climbs exponentially.

Just now, Su Xiao used Magic-Immune Constitution + crystal layer + his own powerful survival ability to resist the wild bombardment of more than 30 spellcasters for over ten seconds. Interestingly, as the spellcasters bombarded, 6 of them died. Once Energy Blocking is triggered, it can deal true damage to the enemy equal to 0.8 times their consumed mana.

Of the 6 who died while casting, 4 died from Energy Blocking, and 2 died from Soul Gaze.

Magic Instructor Heros? Quasi-Eighth Tier? No difference at all. Only if an Eighth Tier spellcaster were present could they resist Energy Blocking head-on. Energy Blocking has a strength upper limit; when fighting Eighth Tier spellcasters, the probability of triggering it will be much lower. However, as Su Xiao's strength improves, this problem can be solved.

The only problem with dealing with spellcasters is the consumption of Blade of the Dark Shadow energy when one-versus-many. At this time, Su Xiao's Blade of the Dark Shadow energy only has 3,000 points left. Without the support of Blade of the Dark Shadow energy, Energy Blocking cannot be used.

Since just now, the spellcasters have scattered and fled. Su Xiao, who is space-type, didn't chase them at all; wind-type ones are the same—these types of spellcasters run mysteriously fast, and chasing them is a waste of time.

Dealing with a large group of spellcasters for the first time, Su Xiao made a mistake: the range of the Energy Blocking deployment was too large, leading to a large consumption of Blade of the Dark Shadow energy.

Crack, crack...

Stepping on the glass-like ground, Su Xiao stopped in front of Magic Instructor Heros, who only had his upper body left.

"Hahaha, spellcasters, Law-Breakers. A dozen supreme spellcasters killed the Law-Breakers to extinction, and it's even recorded in the Arcane Academy. Too ridiculous."

Heros doubted his life. He felt that the murals in the main hall of the "Arcane Academy" were incomparably ridiculous. After personally fighting a Law-Breaker, he discovered that this was not a question of whether magic-type abilities could kill a Law-Breaker at all; it was that there was simply no opportunity to use them. The magic energy he had painstakingly cultivated was basically exploding himself during the battle, and his only face-saving card was the magic giant statue.

"Law-Breaker, we... will never meet again. This body died worthily."

As soon as Heros's voice fell, slash light filled his vision.

At the same time, Arcane Eternal Star, inside the top-level tower of the Arcane Academy.

The room was very dim. With a splash, Heros, who was bare-chested, sat up from the transparent liquid, his mouth wide open, his eyes staring until they were bloodshot.

Ten seconds later, Heros gasped for breath. A body he had transformed had died, or rather, he had already died today. This is his strongest ability, Magic Transformation. When his strength reached the Seventh Tier, his body split into two: one body was used for fighting, and the other was located in the top-level tower of the Arcane Academy, serving as an instructor here.

"This is... a Law-Breaker?"

Heros's hands were trembling; this was caused by the fear at the moment of death.

With a creak, the door of the top tower was pushed open. An old man wearing a white robe and a hood, somewhat hunched, walked into the room. The magic lantern he carried emitted a ghostly blue light.

"I heard you encountered a Law-Breaker?"

The white-robed old man spoke hoarsely.

"Yes, Lord Walker, I..."

Just as Heros was about to speak, his words were interrupted.

"You survived."

The white-robed old man chuckled.

"W, what?"

Heros looked at the white-robed old man blankly.

"There were only a hundred of you, and you were able to survive; that's already quite good."

"I..."

Heros was speechless. He still thought he was going to face some punishment, but from what Lord Walker meant, a hundred spellcasters fighting a Law-Breaker of the same tier and being able to survive seemed to be a glorious thing? Thinking of this, Heros doubted his life even more; his worldview was gradually being refreshed.

"Heros, how do you think we won back then?"

"I... don't know."

"Law-Breakers had a hundred people at their peak, and by the end, only a few remained, so we won. Our source of power is exactly what Law-Breakers are best at controlling and have the highest affinity for. If they control elemental power—no, if they control elements, they are no longer powerful."

"..."

Heros's worldview was completely refreshed.

"Heros, don't spread today's events. The next batch of Black Maple Tree output will have a share for you."

Leaving these words, the hunched white-robed old man walked out of the top tower, leaving behind the somewhat sluggish Heros. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. He fought a Law-Breaker, was slashed like a grandson, and survived because of his special ability. He actually received praise from an elder—an elder who had lived from the Law-Breaker era to the present.

"What exactly are they hiding? Why would Law-Breakers be hostile to spellcasters? Do Law-Breakers have stronger elemental affinity? Then why don't they use elemental power to fight? Or is it that using elements to fight brings some irreversible influence?"

Heros muttered to himself. He actually didn't care much about the defeat. He is an instructor at the Arcane Academy, not a spellcaster good at fighting. Compared to fighting, he prefers exploring the unknown. In his view, there are two most important things in life: becoming stronger and exploring the unknown, with the latter being greater than the former.

Or rather, Heros becoming stronger is just to explore more unknowns. He is a dreamer, a dreamer who doesn't know where the end is.

"Cannot investigate, will die, definitely will die. But... I became a spellcaster, isn't it just to explore the unknown? If I don't even dare to explore this kind of secret, what is the point of me living?"

Heros muttered to himself, sitting blankly in the solution pool. No one would have thought that an Elementalist was "born" at this moment.

Hui'an Star, in an area that looked like it had been hit by a meteorite swarm.

Su Xiao half-knelt on the ground, his fingers pointing at the ground, sensing whether there were any living enemies around.

After confirming there were no living enemies, Su Xiao came to the vicinity of the war chariot and saw the twisted-shaped war chariot. The "Scavenger" had sacrificed itself.

"You haven't awakened Soul-Severing Shadow yet? Oh, I see, you can't find a way to awaken it."

Saintess Seat floated down from above, a wisp of pale blue arc of electricity on her fingertips.

"You know about Soul-Severing Shadow?"

"Of course, I'm very familiar with Grimm Gillian, very familiar in many ways."

When Saintess Seat said this, her expression was somewhat unnatural. She recalled the gaze of a certain crazy woman when she looked at her, and that sentence: "Sooner or later, I'll lock you in a cage."

Recalling these, Saintess Seat couldn't help but shiver.

"The Empty Seat Banquet is about to start, let's go together."

After mentioning the female Law-Breaker Grimm Gillian, Saintess Seat seemed a bit panicked. Without any movement from her, a piece of ground floated up, and then with a boom, Saintess Seat and that piece of ground disappeared. She was so panicked she forgot to bring Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baja.

Su Xiao stood in place, his clothes fluttering in the strong wind. He kept his raised arm frozen in mid-air, watching the dust falling in front of him.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja behind Su Xiao were both a bit stunned. What happened to going together?

A moment later, Saintess Seat arrived in front of a fog wall that towered to the sky.

"We're here, spectacular, right?" Saintess Seat looked at the fog wall in front of her, her mood calming down. Unfortunately, no one responded to her. She turned her head to look: "Eh? Where are the people?"

"Saintess Seat, long time no see."

A very magnetic voice came, and a figure was sitting on the steps in front of the fog wall, mist drifting around him.

"I have something else to do, let's talk later. Eh~, that crazy woman is already dead, why am I still afraid of her? So embarrassing."

Saintess Seat disappeared, and before long, she returned, with a piece of ground still floating behind her.

Su Xiao leaped down from the ground floating in mid-air, followed by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja. The location for the Empty Seat Banquet had been reached.
