Chapter 226 – Dirty Invitation (1/2)

Elena already knew what Lin Xiao was planning to do, it was of course his strongest move, multi-casting!

As she expected, in an instance, tens of bright red magic circles appeared in the sky above Lin Xiao. Each single one a complicated circuit containing frightening amounts of magic.

“Twenty times, Flaming Meteor!”

Lin Xiao’s arms couldn’t stop trembling, he clenched his jaws and endured the huge mental burden. He borrowed the blood array he drew on the back of his hands to help suppress the twenty something magic circles and adjusted the magic to its optimal state.

Flaming Meteor was genuine seventh level magic, although Lin Xiao reached the seventh level, it was a huge burden to multi-cast it, and twenty was pretty much his limit.

But it was more than enough to deal with these monsters.

“M-multi-casting!? Brat, w-w-who are you?”

Anderson was stupefied as he watched the number of magic circles multiply above him and fell back onto his ass.

He was no novice, he was also once a powerful seventh level warrior! But because he was injured in battle along with aging, his strength was long gone. He also lost his old sturdy body as he got fatter… even so, his eyesight and insight was still there.

He was one hundred percent sure that it wasn’t a trick and that youth called Lin Xiao was really casting twenty flaming meteors!

A single meteor could already instakill the Lesser Devils, but with twenty of them… just thinking of it scared Anderson. With that many falling like a meteor shower, it won’t just be the Lesser Devils, he’ll also be buried in a sea of fire!

What should he do? Run?

He can only run!

“G-g-g-g-g-get him!” He struggle to squeeze that order out and then quickly climbed up and ran the other way.

He’ll use the Lesser Devils as cannon fodder to escape, it wasn’t a bad plan and he achieved it. The Lesser Devils were tough soldiers that weren’t afraid of deaths, they would carry out any order to the end, even if what was awaiting them was a terrifying meteor shower.

“Hehe, now you want to run? It’s too late!”

Lin Xiao snorted as he watched the Lesser Devils approach him.

That Anderson was still underestimating him.

Was Lin Xiao just a tough magician that could multi-cast?

No, in actuality, Lin Xiao’s strength wasn’t in his magic power, or his advanced techniques, but his greatest strength was his delicate control of magic.

Whether it was the weakest magic bullet, or the flaming meteor, Lin Xiao could achieve perfect control. The unnatural and still magic could change into various forms, like it wasn’t even a violent and hard to control energy but a beautiful toy in his hands.

As long as he willed it, any magic would move how he wanted and hit his enemy.

Although they couldn’t endure his magical energy, but perhaps they could finish off Lin Xiao before their body gets destroyed.

Be it a punch, a kick, or a slap, even if their flesh was torn off leaving their bones, as long as one sharp bone could pierce that black-haired youth, then they would have completed their master’s orders!

But that was just wishful thinking, Lin Xiao’s magic wouldn’t even leave any bones behind!

“Fall!”

The first meteor fell and engulfed a Lesser Devil that was too slow to evade it.

Then the second and the third…

Watching the rapidly descending meteor shower, the maid sitting next to him sighed.

Elena knew that with a couple of more breaths, all these Lesser Devils would be smashed into a pile of flesh, and even Anderson who was escaping would be taken care of, there was no way for him to escape. Also, because his magic control was strong, there was no way he would make a mistake and lose control, so winning was only a matter of time.

That can’t happen!

Elena already planned to win her bet with Snow here, as long as she could disrupt Lin Xiao’s casting and make him lose focus then there was that he would lose control of his magic!

Once he loses control and get finished off by the nearby Lesser Devils, then she would achieve her goal!

Then even if Snow knew that he died to the Lesser Devils, she wouldn’t blame her and would think that Lin Xiao got careless and lost his life, so Anderson would become her enemy!

She would get Lin Xiao killed then go find Snow while pretending to be the victim, find a way to get Snow to let Elona go and form an alliance with Snow. Then she could continue investigating about the Lesser Devils and she might even find out who’s behind it and eliminate the traitors!

Elena already had an entire plan in place.
