Chapter 302: A Battle Between Geniuses

As Jean Camus spoke, six figures shining with a crystallic brilliance appeared in the area where he looked.

“Is this Crystal Master Clayston?” Ayrin asked as he gazed at the six figures which were about ten meters apart from one another.

He quickly realized he couldn’t discern which one was the real body. Furthermore, the blinding brilliance they released prevented him from seeing their features.

“Stingham, which one is the real one?” Ayrin couldn’t help but asking Stingham, who had hidden himself.

“I can’t tell either,” Stingham replied, feeling somewhat annoyed.

In the presence of Jean Camus, who had beat him up so heavily, he didn’t want to speak at all.

It was fortunate that Jean Camus was acting as if he hadn’t seen Stingham. Otherwise, who knew what kind of humiliating act Stingham would do.

“The Treasured Book of Sealing?”

Clayston didn’t pay any attention to Jean Camus. Instead, all six crystal figures looked towards the Treasured Book of Sealing in Ayrin’s hands and spoke in unison.

“With an artifact like this here, it seems like it is not suitable for me to use domains.”

Only after saying this did the six crystal figures simultaneously turn towards Jean Camus and ask, “What is your name?”

Jean Camus calmly looked back and succinctly replied, “Jean Camus.”

“Aha, so it is the number one genius of the Kingdom of Doa.” The six crystal figures chuckled in unison, “Your life is worth quite a lot right now.”

“You are welcome to try,” Jean Camus nonchalantly responded.

“If I kill Jean Camus, I will at least become a cardinal, right…”

Thoughts raced through Clayston’s mind as his gaze swept across Jean Camus, and then Ayrin’s group. He realized that these people would likely be very difficult to deal with, but the enormous rewards made him feel like it was necessary for him to try.

“Is Jean Camus about to fight this guy?”

Seeing how both sides seemed to have forgotten about them, Ayrin anticipated Jean Camus’ move.

Ayrin had wanted to personally see Jean Camus’ abilities and strength ever since he learned that Jean Camus had one-sidedly beaten up Stingham.

“He’s so calm and composed. The look in his eyes… I must be careful, after all, it is rumored that he has never lost a battle.”

Clayston slowly exhaled.

For Ayrin and the others, it looked like all six crystal figures were exhaling at the same time.

“Crystal Haze!”

Six invocations rang out in unison.

Six clusters of brilliant light emerged and bloomed outwards.

“So uncomfortable!”

“He actually knows a skill like this!”

The moment Rinloran took a breath, he immediately realized what was going on as he began coughing. The light was actually countless miniscule crystal particles. As they entered his lungs, they gathered and hardened, making it harder and harder for him to breath.

“An area of effect skill!” Ayrin exclaimed as he too began coughing and feeling extremely uncomfortable.

But before the particles could wreak any more havoc within his body, they quickly decomposed and transformed into arcane particles.

“Leave!”

Although he himself was fine, he could see Rinloran, Stingham, and the Dark Queen Mermaid all struggling as their faces turned purple. Together, they rushed out of the range of the crystal dust as quickly as possible. But Rinloran, Stingham, and the Dark Queen Mermaid continued to cough violently, even hacking up blood, as they struggled to breath.

“Rinloran, Stingham, are you two okay?!” Ayrin asked anxiously as he rushed to Rinloran and Stingham’s side.

Whoosh!

A faint blue arcane energy rose up from between Rinloran’s hands and flowed over Stingham and himself like water.

“This skill is quite similar to House Baratheon’s Suffocated World. But it is even more insidious!”

Rinloran spoke inbetween his coughing. As he looked down, he could see countless tiny shining crystal particles within the frothing blood he coughed up.

It was evident that although the Tree of Life’s arcane energy healed his lungs, it was unable to dispel the skill itself.

As Clayston’s arcane skill hadn’t caused much of an arcane energy fluctuation, it was clear that this skill didn’t consume too many arcane particles. But the damage it could deal towards other arcane masters was immense. It was definitely capable of incapacitating many arcane masters at the same time.

At this moment, Ayrin realized that Lotton was not with them. But he didn’t worry too much about it because he knew that Lotton’s ability to survive surpassed even his own. Lotton was a Vengeful Spirit who had already ‘died’ after all. Unless he was completely destroyed by an immensely powerful arcane skill, he would be fine. And it was especially true for a skill like this which attacked the body’s tissues. It wouldn’t cause him any harm.

“Jean Camus…”

Ayrin’s eyes widened as he saw Jean Camus calmly standing motionlessly amidst the crystal dust enveloped earth. His body was covered with a layer of faint, gauze-like white light.

“This guy…”

This scene alone caused Ayrin to understand just how powerful of an arcane master Jean Camus was.

“Witch’s Shawl?” Clayston abruptly cried out.
