Lariel City
When Link found out about the Black Kun rock, he saw something flash in his vision. A message appeared.
Mission complete: Investigation.

New Mission: Stop Them!
Mission Description: Use your strength to tell the slaves of the God of Destruction that they are not welcome in Firuman!

Reward Two: 200 Omni Points.
Amidst the flashing lights, a dark blue rune appeared in Link’s field of vision. It was the Void Aura dispelling kit! Along with it, there was a message asking Link to make a choice.
Do you want to use it now?
Link did not even need to consider. He immediately chose to use it.
The moment he made his choice, Link felt something in his hand. It was a pebble-sized rock that was slightly slippery and warm to the touch. Without even looking, he knew it was the Void Aura dispelling kit.
Rubbing his fingers on the little pebble, Link soon found an opening in the rock. He channeled his Dragon Power into the rock.
Instantly, Link felt something warm flowing into his body, spreading throughout his body. The feeling lasted for a moment before disappearing.
Then, Link discovered that the strange force around his body interfering with his spell formation had disappeared. He bowed his head and channeled his Dragon Power into his fingertips. The Dragon Power energy immediately solidified like a crystal, looking resplendent and perfect in every way.
After the Dragon Power was released, it automatically condensed itself into a droplet. This was a characteristic of Legendary-level power.
Regaining his ability to cast spells, Link sighed in relief.
Without magic, he was merely a swordsman that could only escape when faced with large amounts of enemies. With magic, he was a Legendary powerhouse!
The time it took for the Void Aura dispelling kit to take effect felt very long to Link. However, in reality, it had lasted only a few seconds. Elin assumed that Link was just deep in thought and did not think much of it.
She asked, “Is there something special about the Black Kun rock?”
Meanwhile, the Nagas were still moving the statue. They weren’t moving very quickly. Link noted the positions of the Nagas while replying softly to Elin’s question. “The Black Kun rock is useless to the ordinary Magician. It is merely harder than on ordinary rock and very good for engraving on stone. However, Black Kun rock is a core material for constructing dimensional teleportation portals. Only those with Legendary power can make use of it.”
Elin immediately understood the gist of it. “You mean to say that these Nagas are going to construct a dimensional door to let more of them into Firuman?”
“Right. This portal would not be ordinary. It would be very stable and extremely difficult to destroy. They would be able to enter and exit as they please and it would not consume any power. If they really manage to open the portal, these Nagas may quickly enter Firuman, and form an army within a day. With the help of Lariel City’s various magic technology and resources, these Nagas would even be able to quickly arm themselves with flying airships… That would be completely devastating.”
The demons had not been pushed back yet, and now the Nagas had come. To make things worse, they were servants of the God of Destruction. Their job was merely to establish a foothold in Firuman to allow the God of Destruction to enter. That was the true disaster.
Elin also began to feel anxious. She watched the statue getting gradually closer to the center of the magic net. She gripped onto Link’s clothing with a small hand and asked anxiously, “How can we stop them? You can’t use your spells now, right? What do we do?”
Link smiled slightly. “Actually, the Void Aura on my body is almost dissipated. I should be able to use some spells now.”
“Really?!” Erin was overjoyed. She knew how powerful Link was when he was using his spells.
“Yeah!” Link nodded. “I’m ready to go. By the way, do we need Akensser alive?”
Akensser was a Level-7 Magician, but he was not a combat Magician. He excelled in craftsmanship, building and operating magic machinery. Once the battle started, though, Link predicted that he would become cannon fodder.
Elin gnashed his teeth: “I can’t wait for him to die!”
“Understood. Then hide and stay a bit further back. I’m going to start.”
“Okay.” Elin agreed and retreated back 150 feet. Link was still dissatisfied and gestured for her to go even further back.
Elin retreated back another 300 feet. Link was finally satisfied and pointed for her to hide behind a huge rock.
Elin obeyed.
Then, Link turned back to track the position of the Nagas, calculating the flow of the battle.
He had the advantage of being concealed! This advantage was enough to help him win.
Three seconds later, Link took a deep breath. The Dragon Power in his body was surging. He held the Burning Wrath of Heavens wand in his left hand and the Dragon King’s Wrath sword in his right hand. He began to multi-task.
Because he was hidden in the darkness, he had plenty of time to cast his spells.
The wand in his left hand summoned the Demon Slaying Whip, while the magic sword in his right hand controlled a ball formed using 4000 Dragon Power points.
A second later, Link attacked.
Whoosh. An invisible dimensional ball flew out soundlessly to the Nagas three hundred feet away. It fell to the ground beneath the stone statue and vanished.
Meanwhile, the crystal red Demon Slayer Whip also shot out. Under the influence of Link’s new Legendary power, the appearance of this whip had changed slightly.
It had become finer and more hair-like. The vibrations from the thorns were even more powerful. Each of them had become even more eye-catching, looking as though they were a dozen suns in the night sky. Their radiance illuminated the whole of Lariel City.
“Enemy attack!” The petite Naga who had Legendary-level strength screamed in warning. Before her scream had even faded away, she had confirmed Link’s position. With a sudden burst of strength, she rushed towards Link, ready to kill.
“Spatial Collapse!”
Link had long prepared for this development. With just a simple thought, he triggered the space under the statue to collapse on itself.
