Chapter 151 - The Highlord’s Ring (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The unending death aura emanated; Kayla and the others took out their Teleportation Scrolls all at the same time.

Against level-16 Dark Magic, Kayla had no hesitation at all. No matter how important the trial mission was, it could not be more important than his life. Only a moron would choose to persist in this situation.

Kayla was secretly gloating as he took out his Teleportation Scroll, for he saw that the guy named Felic was still standing at the cave entrance and had no intention of taking out the Teleportation Scroll; there was even a reckless smile on his face.

Idiot, this is a Death Sentence…

Of course, Kayla was just saying it in his heart. He was not foolish. There was not even time to escape from the Death Sentence, so how did he still have the mood to remind others? Besides, there wasn’t any friends.h.i.+p between them at all; on the contrary, there was some friction. He wouldn’t forget that the fellow had tried to drive himself away from the cave a while ago…

Apart from Lin Li, only Orrin and Mason did not take out their Teleportation Scrolls among all others; they had too much trust in their teammates. To some extent, this trust had reached a blind level. Perhaps only they knew how perverse their teammate was. Let alone persisting in the Death Sentence, even if Lin Li said “This stone tastes good, everyone try it”, they’d probably pick one up immediately and gnaw at it.

Having seen all kinds of perverted behaviors of their teammates, the thought that such a freak would stand foolishly under the Death Sentence to wait for death never crossed their minds at all.

No kidding; this fellow would wait for death foolishly? Might as well say a herbivore Dragon existed—it might be more believable…

Faced with such an unprecedented Dark Magic, the group of young mages had different thoughts in their minds. However, Lin Li had no time to care about them. His eyes were fixed on the Solar Sphere falling from the sky as he slowly raised his right hand to magnify the magical elements within the Torrent of Elements…

Almost immediately after the creation of the elemental channel, the Death Sentence was free from the shackles of the Lich’s mental strength. The glow of the Solar Sphere made a deafening roar in the sky. Under the impact of the overwhelming Dark Magic element, the skeletal prison was destroyed almost instantaneously.

Then…

There was no “then”.

Bone fragments flew about outside the cave, and inside the cave, the silence was astonis.h.i.+ng.

Everyone froze; they stood rooted to the ground with a dazed look on their faces. All of them held the Teleportation Scrolls in their hands, but none of them could open it.

Even Orrin and Mason were dumbfounded.

They had already seen how perverse their teammate was back in the Alanna Guild of Magic, and both of them remembered the clash between Orrin and Matthias—the freak had received a burning fireball with his body then.

But, after all, that was only a fireball. Compared with the Death Sentence earlier on, there was more than twice the difference in level; the disparity in power was as that of the ant and the elephant.

Mason really wanted to bang the wall with his head. He wanted to grab the freak by his neck and shake him with all his might. Are you really human!?

“I… I’m not dreaming, am I?” Kayla rubbed his eyes in despair; he just couldn’t believe what he saw. To make sure he wasn’t dreaming, he stretched out his hand and pinched his own thigh. The throb of pain that came from his thigh announced to him that it was all true…

Kayla’s eyes were glazed; as he looked at the cave entrance, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

All of this was too fake—it was unbelievably fake.

The mage from Jarrosus still stood casually at the cave entrance, and even the smile on his face remained unchanged. The only difference was that his right hand was raised, and a ring inlaid with a black diamond shone dimly in the early morning suns.h.i.+ne…

“This…” Kayla swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

At present, not to mention Kayla, even Sa.r.s.en, who had always been so arrogant, was almost scared out of his wits. His expression showed he was utterly confused, and his eyes were bigger than those of cattle. His open mouth was almost wide enough to stuff an egg in.

It was just that Sa.r.s.en’s thoughts were much more complicated than Kayla’s.

He was a real level-13 Magic Shooter. Besides Gryffindor, his magic level was the highest among the mages who partic.i.p.ated in this trial. In fact, his goal from the beginning was Gryffindor. In his eyes, among the many trial mages, only the number-one magic genius of Felan was qualified to be his rival.

However, the previous scene had thoroughly crushed all his perception…

Lin Li was unhurt under the Death Sentence, and could even make level-16 Dark Magic disappear—what kind of force was this?

Faced with a force beyond the limits of a mortal, Sa.r.s.en felt an array of complex emotions—shock, joy, disappointment, and jealousy—as several kinds of emotions surged up suddenly. He was dumbstruck for a moment as he looked at the figure at the cave’s entrance.

And at this moment, Lin Li did not hesitate to input a trace of mana into the Torrent of Elements. Directing the Death Sentence into the elemental channel was just the beginning; the complete release of its power was the real reason why Lin Li had waited so long.

“No… That’s impossible!” Just as Lin Li was feeding a trace of mana into the Torrent of Elements, the hoa.r.s.e voice of the Lich rang from the sky. “Human… How could you possibly have the Butcher’s ring?”

“Butcher?” Lin Li was a little stunned at first.

But very soon, he almost encountered the bite of mana due to this word…

Bhaskar lived in an age when the High Elves ruled over the world of Anril. The whole Felan Kingdom groaned under the butcher knives of the three Highlords. There was only one person whom Bhaskar was referring to as a Butcher—that was Osric, who had hanged 30,000 rebels overnight!
