Lund was killed in a single whip!
The Dark Elves on the city wall were stunned into silence.
A few seconds later, someone shouted, “He’s only a single person! There’s nothing to be afraid of, kill him!”
“Let’s go!”
“We’ve got 40,000 men!”
The ones shouting were ghouls, and immediately after that, they rushed towards Link. Initially, there were only three people in the charge, but soon, there were over 40 ghouls trailing behind.
In reality, the ghouls on the city wall numbered over 2,000. However, it was because of the threat of Link and his Demon Slayer Whip loomed over them. After all, this was someone who could go toe to toe with the wielder of the Divine Gear! Who would dare to easily approach?
The ghouls that rushed forward were hot-blooded and reckless. Typically, a ghoul’s strength was about Level-6. They also dashed forward very quickly. Before the tracker was invented, the ghouls used to guard the perimeter of the Black Forest, preventing all scouts from getting into the black forest. They were quite fearsome.
When 40 ghouls charged at the same time, even a Level-8 Warrior could not face them head on and win easily. It would be necessary to use the terrain advantage and engage in hit-and-run tactics to deal with them.
However, Link did not retreat. He just stood calmly there.
Three seconds later, the ghouls had surrounded Link. They came from all directions. Some climbed the walls to get behind him, others flanked him while some charged him straight from the front.
This was the way to deal with Magicians. To prevent the Magician from annihilating all of them at once, it was necessary for them to split up and attack from multiple sides.
However, they still underestimated Link.
As the ghouls arrived before him, Link pointed his Burning Wrath of Heavens wand at the floor. A Spatial Sphere the size of a sesame seed landed on the floor. When the ghouls reached within two feet from him, the Spatial Sphere suddenly exploded.
“Shackles!”
With Link as the center, a white misty semi-circle formed around him, 60 feet in diameter. This enveloped all the ghouls that had rushed forward.
The ghouls were originally rushing forward quickly, but once they were enveloped by the mist, they slowed down instantly, moving inch by inch towards Link. From outside, it appeared as though the 40 ghouls were locked in place.
This Spatial Shackles cost Link 300 Dragon Power points and was equal to a Level-7 skill. The ghouls were only at Level-6 and had no way of breaking free.
Then, Link drew the Dragon King’s Wrath magic sword, strolling forward. As he walked round, he casually stabbing into the heads of the ghouls he passed.
The Dragon King’s Wrath magic sword was incomparably sharp. The ghouls’ skulls could put up no defense against Link. Link did not even need to put in much strength but merely poked his sword to slice into their skulls.
Fifteen seconds later, every single ghoul had been stabbed by Link. Link walked to the edge of the Spatial Shackles field. All the ghouls were still suspended in the air, in a charging position. In fact, they were still moving forward ever so slightly. However, the one thing that had changed was that their eyes were now listless, as they were now all dead.
Snap! Link snapped his fingers, canceling the Spatial Shackles spell. Crash, Crash. The 40 ghouls fell from the air like kites, smashing into the ground. Their bodies trembled slightly, as though they hadn’t completely died, but there was already no hope for them.
The whole process of casting the Spatial Shackles spell and killing the ghouls cost Link 300 Dragon Power points. In the 15 seconds that he took to kill the ghouls, his Dragon Power had already recovered.
Therefore, killing these 40 ghouls was as simple as breathing for him.
This was a terrifying existence.
The Dark Elves glanced at each other, at a loss. As Link took one step forward, they subconsciously took one step back.
Then, one Dark Elf Commander stood up and shouted, “Warriors, he is a Magician. His Mana is definitely limited. Let’s all charge together! Archers keep shooting at him, waste his Mana!”
Twang twang twang. Sounds of bowstrings releasing reverberated out as the arrows filled the air like rain, heading for Link.
Link waved his wand lightly to his side again. “Shackles!”
Whoosh. In the next instant, a space of about two feet around him rippled, and the arrows struck into the space. All of them immediately stopped in mid-air. The scene resembled arrows being stuck in a training puppet.
Link walked towards the Dark Elves while waving his sword around. Every single one of the arrows he sliced through fell to the ground like trash.
It was truly a joke to use normal arrows on a Level-8 Magician like Link.
“Quick, use the anti-magic arrows!”
The Archers immediately changed to using anti-magic arrows. However, these arrows met a similar fate to the normal arrows. To a Spatial Magician, arrows that were designed to penetrate normal magic barriers were completely useless against them.
Huff, huff. The Dark Elf commander panted, trying to calm the fear in his heart. Three seconds later, he raised his sword and charged Link. “Warriors, charge!”
This commander was a Level-6 Warrior. The Battle Art exploded out from his body, enveloping the sword and causing it to glow brilliantly as he charged Link.
He knew that he was going to die, but he also knew that when facing a Magician, the army cannot break down in fear. That would be the worst thing that could happen.
As long as the Warriors continued charging forward, that might provide them a chance to reverse the situation!
As the commander of the army, he had to be the first to make the sacrifice!
The ghouls followed behind him, and the Dark Elves also started charging at Link from all directions.
They couldn’t believe that a 40,000 strong army would be unable to kill a single Magician.
…
Link had rested enough. He took a deep breath, focusing his thoughts and pointed the magic sword in front of him. “Demon Slayer!”
Whoosh. A 300-foot-long crystal red whip appeared, wrapping around Link over ten times. The body of the whip was covered with zigzag thorns. Each thorn shone like a bright red crystal. Viewed in the darkness of the night, it would look like flickering fireflies.
However, this spell which was a beautiful as fireflies also had destructive power incomparable to fireflies.
Each point of light was an attack point. Although it looked small, its power was terrifying.
As the ordinary Dark Elf soldiers were hit by the whip, it was as though their bodies were hit by a siege hammer. They were flung back far away. As they flew back, they coughed up thick mouths of steaming hot blood. By the time they landed on the ground, the Dark Elf soldiers were completely dead.
