Chapter 348: Link, Is This Really It?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the forest behind the sentinel’s cabin

The succubus demon Misamier was the first to emerge, but she was not the last.

From up in the sky came the sound of wings flapping. It was the Winged Howlers. Judging from the sound, they were about 150 feet high and 300 feet away. Link also caught sight of the fallen angel.

That fellow had apparently not died, but at least he looked a lot weaker than he did before. Even if he was missing one arm and looked extremely pitiful, he still possessed the strength of over Level-8.

Currently, he was holding a rune stone which had silvery lines streaking across its surface. These lines extended out from the stone like a spider web, reaching out for about 90 feet before vanishing.

He looked at Link, saying, “The Gredo Rune Stone. Do you recognize this, Magician?”

Three hundred years ago, a Spatial Magician known as Gredo created this rune stone. This rune stone was not particularly useful for low-level Magicians, its only function was to lock down space. Within this space, all spatial magic skills became useless. It was a very effective counter against Link.

Of course, using the rune stone came at a great cost. It required a Level-8 expert to continuously input Mana to operate it. Furthermore, it could only be used continuously for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, the rune stone would begin to crumble.

Being a Spatial Magician himself, Link naturally was familiar with these types of rune stones, as well as the method to break through them.

“Hah, you overestimate me,” Link laughed.

The demons were indeed numerous, but Link still had some moves he hadn’t used. Right now, his Mana was full, reaching an amount of 19000 points. The Flame Controller Robe’s Clear Thoughts activity was activated. Furthermore, he had 500 more Omni Points.

This was a huge amount of Omni Points, enough for Link to purchase a Level-10 Legendary spell. More importantly, Link still had the Mana to cast it.

Actually, the spell cards had appeared in Link’s vision. Various glowing Legendary cards revolved around him, waiting for him to make a selection.

At this point, an archaic voice sounded out from the forest behind him. “Link, I think you’re mistaken. We don’t just look highly upon you; we also want to kill you.”

As this voice sounded out, a massive, pitch-black snake slithered out. On the snake’s head sat a white-haired old man in a black robe.

It was obvious in one glance that this old man’s limbs were missing. This made his body look very small.

Looking at this man, Link sighed. “Aymons, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Because it’s you, I had to come,” Aymons sighed. This time, he had to make sure to thoroughly kill Link.

They had activated numerous demons as well as the magic tool, the Dark Serpent. There was no Magician in the world with the ability to escape this ambush. It was not even a possibility.

This formation was truly frightening!

Link sighed again, slowly. He had a helpless expression on his face. “Being a logical Mage, I know I don’t stand a chance to fight. I also don’t wish to pointlessly struggle. Aymons, what say I choose to surrender? I’ll join the Dark Elves. Is that acceptable?”

Aymons’s eyebrows twitched. It was a great suggestion. Although the Dark Elves seemed to be prospering, in truth, they were facing many internal problems. One of their greatest problems was the demons.

They had summoned too many demons. However, they had no choice if they wanted to deal with the invading Yabbas from the west and the combined army of humans and High Elves. Without the support of the demons, the Dark Elves will undoubtedly perish.

Originally, they had no need to offend the Yabbas. However, the Dark Elves had another consideration. The Dark Serpent could only stay on earth for a limited time.

This pressured the Dark Elves to rapidly grow their military strength such that when they attacked in the future, they would be able to swiftly achieve victory instead of engaging in a long, drawn-out battle against the humans.

They, therefore, required the technology from the Yabbas – the airships and the magic cannons.

As of now, the Dark Elves were like a blazing flame. However, after the flames died out, it was likely that they would be exterminated.

If Link joined the Dark Elves, it would definitely be a great help to the elves’ development. Although Aymons didn’t truly believe that Link would surrender, he was truly moved by the idea.

Even though the possibility was not large, he intended to test Link out. However, before he could, Misamier spoke, “I’m afraid that’s not possible. Our Lord of the Deep, Nozama, is determined to have your head!”

Misamier had stolen the lead on Aymons. Aymons wasn’t pleased, but in front of a huge enemy, he couldn’t show his displeasure with Misamier and could only swallow it back in.

Clang! Link unexpectedly threw the Burning Wrath of Heavens wand towards Misamier, where it landed on the floor.

Link spread his arms wide and said, “Well then, Misamier, give me a clean death. You’re the commanding officer of this attacking force, aren’t you? Go on, decide how I die.”
