Chapter 313 – Public Execution (2/2)

Elena couldn’t understand, perhaps even Lin Xiao never thought about it, but the reason was actually quite simple.

Try to ask, who is the only person right here and right now that can see his victory with their own eyes?

Other than his maid, was there anyone else?

If Elena wasn’t behind him silently watching his every move, then would he still be taking such a risk?

Men liked to show off in front of their intimate partners.

Of course, there was a price for that.

“Damn, isn’t this too fucking complicated?” Lin Xiao angrily complained.

Although he looked cool as he was surrounded by the fire, only he knew what an intense burden he was carrying.

“If I had known I should have tried the circle first before chanting… now that I called this much fire, aren’t I just playing myself to death?”

Sweat seeped out of his forehead, but before the droplet could fully form, it was already evaporated by the surrounding flames.

He shouldn’t have tried to show off… eighth-level magic, the dragon of extinction, he already called the fire element, but he was stuck at the magic circle formation.

Lin Xiao had actually always cast magic above his level before so it had become a habit, he thought he could easily cast eighth-level magic as well with his prior experience.

As for the magic, he saw it in the Loran Academy library before and out of curiosity he studied and memorized the magic circle, but he never practiced it, he naively thought that he would be able to succeed on the first try just like before, but evidently, he underestimated the complexity of eighth-level magic.

On the surface, the dragon of extinction was simply a stronger version of dragon’s fury, the circle was only several times bigger than the sixth-level version, but the reality was…

But it wasn’t only several times more complex, it was tens, maybe hundreds of times more complex!

Only after drawing the circle, Lin Xiao realized how complex it was. For normal circles, one strand of magic power formed one distinct line, but for eighth-level magic, one line was equivalent to one complete magic circle! In other words, it wasn’t simple addition and subtraction, it was a geometric sequence!

Actually, there was one thing that Lin Xiao didn’t know… before, even the grand magician Woos needed the help of tools to cast eighth-level magic, like magic power amplification crystals and a magic staff with the circle already drawn, and with those tools along with his casting experience, only then could he barely cast it.

And him?

He was trying to do it unassisted… and whilst bypassing a level!?

Elena liked his actions to committing suicide, but she was already being generous. If Snow saw this, she would surely say that Lin Xiao was a worm with human skin, now he reaps what he has sown, it was his fate as a worm!

… Of course, even if they wanted to insult what little self-esteem he had left, that would have to wait for when he survives, if he died, who can Elena and Snow go to insult?

Unlike Elena’s worry, Yao Zi was still expressionlessly watching Lin Xiao.

“Eighth-level magic… amazing…”

Yao Zi still naively thought that the investigation was continuing so she continued to carefully observe and waited to imitate him.

Your mom, idiot Yao Zi, stop watching… what the hell are you still looking at! I’m about to blow myself up, if you copy me, you’re going to blow yourself up too!

Yao Zi’s gaze made his head hurt.

He just wanted to cast some magic that Yao Zi couldn’t imitate, not only did he fail, he’s even in a dangerous predicament. What was infuriating was that Yao Zi was still seriously watching and learning… this was just a public execution!

Was it really over for him just like that?

Just as he was enduring the enormous pressure and pain, he suddenly heard a shrill cry.

When he shifted his gaze with great difficulty, he saw a woman that was almost going crazy.

“Damn pervert! Stop! Hurry up and stop!”
