Chapter 294: Reverse Magic

Yu Lin casually dispersed the lingering, pulse‑quickening glow of the complex Magic Array he had just demonstrated, as if he were merely brushing away a speck of dust.

His gaze fell on the hurriedly arriving Merlin and Coreen, especially the still‑shocked look on their faces, and he couldn't help but grin, flashing two rows of white teeth, and asked lightly:

"What's the matter? You two masters are in such a hurry?"

Merlin stepped forward quickly, his eyes scanning Yu Lin's face and the spot where the Magic Array had vanished, and although he already had a guess in mind, the urge to hear it confirmed overtook his reason.

He asked, his tone incredulous and cautious:

"That… the ripple of that Legendary Magic just now… could it be you… you created a Legendary Magic in a single night?"

Yu Lin shrugged indifferently, his tone as flat as if he were describing his breakfast:

"Probably. I ran the numbers against your theoretical model, felt it wasn't hard at all, just whipped one up on the fly."

No difficulty?!

Listen! Listen! Is that even human speech?!

Merlin felt his blood pressure spike, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Having lived so many years and witnessed the rise and fall of magical civilization, he knew that the birth of every Legendary Magic was the result of a genius mage's lifelong toil, countless failures, and often a huge price paid before a lucky breakthrough!

From antiquity to the present, the recorded Legendary Mages are so few one could count them on two hands! Each name alone could shine through the ages!

When it comes out of his mouth, how does it become "no difficulty," "just made it on the fly"?!

Merlin wanted to grab his collar and roar, asking whether he even knew how to write the word "humility"!

But thinking of the unfathomable gap in power between them… hmm, he forced the Britain‑flavored greeting that rose to his lips back down.

He inhaled deeply, trying to make his expression look merely curious rather than hostile, and forced out a somewhat twisted smile:

"Well, um… truly… an astonishing efficiency."

"... What effect does this Legendary Magic you created have?"

At that, Yu Lin's smile grew even brighter:

"Now that's impressive! I call it 'Mirror Image Reversal.'"

"In short, anyone affected within my Magic Array's range must perform the exact opposite of whatever I do!"

"When I exhale, they must inhale; when I eat, they have to find a way to vomit what's in their stomach; if I need to use the restroom…"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Merlin's face turned green as he raised a hand, forcibly cutting off Yu Lin's increasingly detailed and vivid description.

Just imagining the scene made his sphincter involuntarily tighten, a chill shooting from his coccyx straight up to his Heavenly Spirit Cover.

The spell's lethality may not be the greatest, but its insult and mental contamination are undeniably legendary!

An excellent Control Magic!

He wiped away nonexistent cold sweat and praised sincerely:

"What a… very… uh, um, this… conception… extremely 'unique' and 'effective' Legendary Magic! Truly… great!"

"Hmm, a great magic."

Yu Lin waved his hand casually, as if it were a trivial matter:

"It's fine. At this level, I could probably crank out ten different ones in an hour."

Merlin: "…………"

Damn it!

Ten Legendary Magic in an hour? Do you think you're baking bread?!

Coreen, standing nearby, had already been staring dumbfounded; glancing at Yu Lin, then at his old friend Merlin's despondent face, suddenly felt that today he might not be here to exchange magical insights, but to witness a myth—or rather, to be crushed.

He pursed his lips and stepped forward, saying:

"Esteemed Sage, I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

Four years later.

News of King Yuse's death spread throughout the entire kingdom.

He had no son all his life, only a daughter who became a witch.

How can a witch become king?!

Thus.

The Royal Throne was vacant, and covetous hearts rose.

"Then, who will take this Royal Throne?"

"Merlin the Archmage said!"

"Whoever can draw the Stone Sword shall be the next ruler! It is Destiny's Choice!"

"Everyone, go try it quickly!"
