Canyon in Northern Ferde

“Kid, hurry up!” Bryant yelled. He kept his word. Even though he was impatient, he still waited for Link to make the first move.

The moment he opened his mouth, Link moved.

He had two powerful Legendary Spells bought from the game system. One was the Level-11 Miracle Aura; the other was the Level-10 Thunder God’s Descent. They were both very powerful but also consumed a lot of Mana. One hit would pretty much use up all of Link’s Mana.

They belonged to those “one-shot takes all” moves. If Link used it and made a mistake, he would have no chance to change his tactic. He really didn’t like gambling everything.

That was why he used the one he was best at—the Demon Slayer Whip.

He was 1000 feet away from Bryant. This had surpassed the range of the whip, but it was okay. Link’s energy was condensed now, and his spell-casting range had reached 1200 feet.

This was a breakthrough that could only happen after reaching the Legendary level.

Pointing his Burning Wrath of Heavens wand at the other, the whip shot out. The crystal-red rope flashed and cracked towards Bryant’s head like lightning.

Since he had acted, Link would not hold back.

“Nice!”

Bryant was also entirely focused. He didn’t dare underestimate Link. As soon as he felt a difference in Link’s power waves, his golden tree branch wand flashed. One of the young leaves glowed and flew out, spinning around him at an unbelievable speed.

The leaf was honestly too fast. At first, Link could still see its shape, but after a moment, it had become a hazy light green blur.

Its power was also very strange. Rings of distorted ripples appeared in its path. When it moved quickly, one could see the space around the blur get distorted. From a distance, it looked like waves of crystal flames.

This was a spatial disturbance. Link’s Despair Balls couldn’t break past it. Thankfully, he didn’t use it in the beginning.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Link’s whip cracked dozens of times within one-tenth of a second, creating a string of thunderous cracks. With every hit, the green leaf would rush over to stop it. They would clash and create a blinding shockwave ring.

The shockwave appeared dozens of times in an instant. The ring extended and hit against the rock around them. Boom! The rock shook, and dust rose up. The surfaces of the mountains nearby were all pulverized by the shockwave.

“My turn!” Bryant roared. The second leaf on his wand glowed with silver light. It was about to fly out.

Link ignored his attack. He controlled the Demon Slayer Whip to continuously attack Bryant as he sprinted over. Fiery Dragon Power appeared on his Dragon King’s Fury sword.

He now possessed Legendary strength. Whenever he used his power, his body would be covered with a layer of crystal-red flames. He ran towards Bryant like a meteorite.

One thousand feet only took a second for Link.

Bryant wasn’t surprised at this speed. Even though he stayed in the Isle of Dawn, he was well-informed about the mainland. He paid special attention to Link who had quickly risen up and had general knowledge about his power.

“Silver Moonlight—Floating Leaf!”

Hiss! The leaf on Bryant’s wand suddenly shone with blinding, silver light. It was so bright that the entire canyon turned snow-white as if it was covered in frost. The sky turned bright as daytime too.

Under this dazzling light, the silver leaf floated down without pattern like a true leaf would. It seemed slow, but it was actually slicing towards Link at an unbelievable speed.

Link dodged to the side, but the leaf instantly adjusted its path. It aimed at a critical body part like silver lightning.

The space between them lessened. Within one-tenth of a second, Link had nowhere to escape. He raised his sword. The tip moved, and a Spatial Sphere appeared.

“Restraint!”

Buzz! A transparent ball appeared in the air. Simultaneously, the silver leaf arrived and rushed into the spatial restraint with a poof. The spatial restraint went into effect and slowed its speed, but only a tiny bit. If not for Link’s sharp vision, he would think that his spell was completely ineffective.

Faced with this Level-12 attack, Link’s Level-10 Spatial Restraint was like nothing.

Poof. The silver leaf passed through the spatial restraint. There was only two feet of distance between them, and Link had nowhere to hide.

In that instant, he could clearly see the veins in the leaf. He could also see the rings of white-gold mist around it. The mist was incredibly sharp and easily sliced apart the air.

According to legends, the World Tree of the High Elves was the most powerful magic object in the entire World of Firuman. To the High Elves, it was equal to the magic net of the Yabbas. It was the absolute core of their civilization.

As for magical attainment, the High Elves greatly surpassed the Yabba race. Through the efforts of generations of Legendary Magicians, the World Tree had reached the Legendary Pinnacle. It was practically a god within the mortal world!

The tree branch of the World Tree was the best material for wands in Firuman. Wands made from it were definitely above mid-Legendary level. That was how powerful Bryant’s wand was. He even had three leaves from the World Tree. They were unbelievably powerful.

The silver leaf was about to slice his head apart. Link’s heart jumped. He knew that he definitely couldn’t block this leaf.

But this was the moment he’d been waiting for!
