Chapter 682 - The Final Battle Dragged on for a Century (1) (2/2)
As the number of masters increased, a realm’s Mana concentration would decrease, making it even more difficult for others to level up until no one else would be able to do so.
Still shaken by this, Saroviny then felt a power fluctuation in the air, which instantly confirmed all her suspicions. Someone has definitely reached Level-16 in the South. Considering that their power reeks of the light element, this person must be an enemy of mine!
She had only planned to observe the upcoming battle in Ferde from afar and, if possible, steal the divine fragment amid the chaos.
However, after sensing this powerful master’s presence, Saroviny hesitated for a few seconds on the deck of the airship. Finally, she returned to the cabin and said, “Change course for the Golle Kingdom. I want to meet this newly promoted master personally. It would be best if we could end him then and there. I can’t allow such a dangerous person to interfere with my plans in the future.”
Eugene and Molina looked at each other. Since Saroviny had given out her order, they had no choice but to comply. Molina said to the airship’s pilot, “You heard the mistress, fly around Ferde and head for the Golle Kingdom.”
The airship immediately changed its direction and began flying southward. After a while, Saroviny barked, “Pick up the pace, full speed ahead!”
The airship’s pilot glanced at Molina, who nodded. He then began channeling even more Mana into the airship.
Hum… Ksssch… The airship trembled as its speed began to increase by 50 percent. Soon, it was flying at 1300 miles per hour towards the South, leaving a long black arc behind it in the sky.
Forty minutes later, the airship had reached the Golle Kingdom’s domain. A thick forest appeared in front of them. From the airship, everyone on the airship could see a valley open up in the forest, at the far end of which stood the crumbling remains of a building.
With her extraordinary eyesight, Saroviny spotted two humanoid shapes standing near the ruins. Straining her eyes, she could make out a black-haired youth and a white-haired old man standing side by side on the ground. The two of them were looking back at her as well with a faint smile on their faces.
At the sight of the black-haired youth, the painful memory of tasting defeat for the first time sprang out from the depths of Saroviny’s mind. Even though more than a century had passed, she was still able to recall it vividly, as if it had only just happened yesterday. This was because the young man in the valley was the person responsible for her first ever defeat.
Saroviny growled through gritted teeth, “I can’t believe it’s you, Link!”
Since her defeat in his hands, she had imagined herself subjecting Link to all kinds of humiliation and torture she could think of and watching him beg for mercy on the ground. Alas, she never had the chance to act on those sadistic impulses until today, for the real Link had appeared before her.
If she managed to defeat him this time, she would be able to trample on him for real as she had fantasized herself doing over and over again for the last 100 years.
Eugene and Molina had also noticed the two figures in the valley. Eugene said in a low voice, “Mistress, that’s the lord of Ferde. Do be careful.”
Molina did not say a word. She immediately activated the Blessing of Destruction spell.
Saroviny smiled coldly. Purple-black destructive light began burning around her body. It then spread out rapidly, covering a 20-square-mile area around her.
Light had vanished without a trace in Saroviny’s domain. Black magical flames had completely enveloped the ground, while the sky seemed to have been razed by a black flaming vortex. A silhouette was now zipping about in the air menacingly. At that moment, the whole world had turned into a horrid hellscape.
“Eugene, Molina, you two deal with the old fool. Link is mine!” ordered Saroviny. Without waiting for an answer, she leaped out of the airship and began descending towards Link at lightning speed.
Before she even reached her mark, her voice reverberated across the heavens.
“Link, today you die!”
