Chapter 237 (2/2)
He set his sights on the 200 Omni Points he had left. In order to suppress the demonization process of the Divine Gear, the spells of mortals would be useless. The only spells that would work would be Legendary spells.
Two hundred Omni Points would be enough to purchase a Legendary spell. Link clearly remembered one that could be used to dispel the dark forces while he was playing the game. The only problem would be his Mana Points. He was now left with 1500 Mana Points and would not be able to cast the spell even if he purchased it.
What should he do?
Link opened the list of spells that he could purchase in his mind and found the Legendary spell card he was looking for, glowing radiantly in many different colors.
Forbidden Mystery. Great Purification
Level-14 Legendary Spell
Cost: 140 Omni Points
Mana Cost: 11000
Effect: Dispels all dark spells and forces within a 3000-foot radius.
The insane Mana Cost of this spell made Link shiver in fear. His Maximum Mana now was merely at 8100 points. He would still be 3000 Mana Points short even if he was at his best.
It was impossible for him to activate this spell.
What should he do?
“Ah!! I cannot hold on anymore!” Kanorse once again bellowed. The effect of the Sacred Silver was truly short-lived. It merely lasted for a few minutes before the deadly poison of the Dark Serpent started raging in Kanorse’s body once again.
His eyes became blood-red and dark runes could be seen circling within them. The claws on his hand were also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Kill me! Kill me now!” Kanorse looked at Link, as though pleading him to end his life.
Clang! Felina brandished her Sacred Silver dagger and walked towards Kanorse before placing it right under his chin. She then looked at Link and said, “Magician, we are running out of time!”
Link was still hesitating.
The strongest human Warrior, Two Saints of Mankind, Legendary Swordsman, the Pillar of the World of Light—all the accolades that Kanorse would be conferred with in the future flashed across his mind.
“Link!” Felina urged. She was about to lose her grasp over Kanorse.
“Master!” the scouts shouted.
“Kill me! Stop hesitating! Quick!” Kanorse spoke in a muffled voice. He could feel his consciousness being consumed by a giant snake.
Link gave a long sigh and walked up to Kanorse before kneeling down on one knee. He then placed a hand on Kanorse’s chest and whispered, “Warrior, hold on, I will dispel it for you.”
Although this was a curse from a Divine Gear, its power would definitely have been suppressed by the laws of the World of Firuman. If Link were to use a Legendary spell, it should be enough to dispel this wretched dark force.
Link decisively bought the Level-14 support Legendary spell.
“Link, you are not joking, right?” Felina asked in disbelief.
While Link was the strongest combat Magician in the human race, he was still a mortal. How could he say that he can dispel the power of a Divine Gear?
Link then gave a reassuring smile and said, “Don’t forget that we are in the Soul Realm. As long as you believe in your actions, anything can happen!”
If they were in the Physical Realm, he would never be able to cast this Legendary spell with his current strength. However, they were in the Soul Realm. As long as he had enough conviction, he would be able to do whatever he wanted.
Many thoughts flashed through Link’s mind.
Will I be able to cast it? Yes, I can! My soul is comparable to that of a sacred soul! Link thought.
There is no free lunch in the world. There is bound to be massive side effects using the power of the soul to cast a Legendary spell. The question is if it is worth it.
Link asked himself an extremely tough question. The essence of this question was simply, For what reason do humans live?
Many faces flashed through Link’s mind. Celine, Eliard, Rylai, Herrera, Jacker, Lucy and many others he had met on his journey.
May the World of Firuman never descend into darkness. May the people who love me see no despair! This was the answer Link found.
He could never support the entire World of Firuman with his own power. The world was made up of many different creatures and races. Fighting this war alone would never work.
Link made this choice not merely based on his emotions, but also his wisdom.
After Link went through this introspection process, his conviction became exceptionally firm.
The next moment, a multi-colored brilliance appeared on his body. Following which, this brilliance extended through his entire body, almost making him look sacred.
A few moments later, this brilliance descended onto Kanorse, who stopped his mindless struggle almost instantaneously.
Kanorse opened his mouth and took a deep breath. His eyes were wide open, though out of focus. He felt as though he had seen the light. Countless blessings of light were raining down upon him from the void of this world.
In an instant, his agitated heart found respite.
The multi-colored brilliance continued expanding with Link as the focal point. It rushed past Felina’s body and through the scouts.
In this brilliance, the thick mist was completely dispelled. The Nightmare Beast that was hiding in a corner disintegrated into a cloud of green smoke. His scream of pain soon followed.
An extremely strong energy wave seemed to surge through the Soul Realm and expanded in all directions. The creatures of darkness within the Dark Forest were frantically escaping the area.
Even if I have to give everything I’ve got, I will continue on the path I have chosen!
Link felt immense pressure and pain on his soul but chose to ignore them all and continued on his Great Purification spell without hesitation.
Amongst this endless brilliance, Felina’s eyes widened and looked at Link in disbelief. She understood that this power had exceeded the limits of a mere mortal.
Annie stared at the pained expression on Link’s face and wept while trying to stifle her cries.
The remaining scouts were already kneeling on the ground from the impact of this spell. They felt as though they had seen the incarnation of God.
…
Dark Forest, Physical Realm.
Aymons had arrived at Auselia’s side. He was casting the Realm Conversion spell at the moment when he suddenly halted his actions. The spell he was casting was interrupted as well.
“What happened?” Auselia asked.
Aymons shook his head. “Nothing. I felt slightly flustered for a moment. It must have been my old age.”
He then continued casting the spell.
Five seconds later, the surrounding world seemed to be robbed of its vibrant colors. Auselia, Bruttan and the group of 30 ghouls were all transported to the Soul Realm.
Aymons did not enter the Soul Realm together with them. His voice rang through the atmosphere, “Your Highness. You will be able to stay in the Soul Realm for three hours. Three hours later, you will be automatically transported back to the Physical Realm. If you wish to return before that time, please call my name.”
