Chapter 52 - Heavenly Brick (2/2)
This was an Innate magic spell practiced only by the core member of the Djage Imperial family. Not only this spell had a strong attacking power, each of the clones was able to cast a magic spell on their own as though they were their own individual. However, the drawback was that it consumed a lot of mana.
The number of spells simultaneously cast by them was the number of mana that would be absorbed from the host body for each magic spells. It was also a very dangerous spell because if one were to use it lightly without thinking, one might suffer mana deficiency by casting a lot of spells while not having enough mana.
Furthermore, it was because of that innate spell that the Djage imperial family was fear the most. Innate spells were very rare because it grows with the power of the caster or the mages. Imagine a 9th class mage use that same spell to make nine clones and made them cast nine 8th tier or 9th tier magic spell simultaneously, how destructive that would be. unfortunately, it was impossible as no 9th rank mage had enough mana to cast that many high tiers spell simultaneously.
In a field that was completely filled with swords, dodging was no doubt much more difficult that than attacking.
The hundred of sabers quickly flew towards all seven Heralds at an astonishing speed, trying to stab them before they could even cast a magic spell.
The 5th Eye was sure to kill Herald this time, a sword was almost always faster than a human, not to mention Herald was a mage. He believed that he would be able to kill him before he could cast any magic spell. As such he didn't care about leaving any sabers for defense but used all of them in a single attack.
Sure enough, before Herald was able to cast any magic spell with six of his clones, he was buried into the mountain peak with a rain of sabers that descended upon him like a meteor shower. However, as soon as a hundred sabers pierced through his heart, each of them turned into a small ball of flame before dissipating to the air.
The 5th Eye was surprised but before he could even react or think about what happened, he heard Herald's voice behind his back.
”I've told you that I made some preparations before I came here to fight you, do you think I was going to face you head-on. Use your head dummy, who would face you with this freakish ability of yours head on. Take that brick.”
Herald's voice came from behind. When the 5th Eye heard this, he was incensed, but he could do nothing to Herald.
At this point, the 5th Eye suddenly felt a wind blew behind his head. With a huge brick in hand. Herald aimed at the 5th Eye's head, fiercely slamming it down.
” Herald, You.”
The 5th eye didn't have time to dodge and quickly tried to summon his sabers but he could even summon them back.
~Ding~
A crisp sound rang. Herald smacked the 5th Eye in the back of his head. The 5th Eye's body trembled. All he felt was an intense pain behind his head while his eyes saw countless of shining stars in the middle of the day. His whole body turned stiff before his body slowly fell onto the ground.
Before he fell down, he suddenly realized the great mistake he had made. Herald was an 8th class mage, so he would be able to create 8 clones simultaneously. However, The ones that were in front of him had only created six clones, which means the Herald in front of him was a fake all along. Herald had never left where he was hiding and was fighting him from the distance.
” Now, I can finally see my grandson. He probably forgot all about me by now.” Herald said as he picked up the unconscious 5th Eye and left the huge mountain peak. However, a minute after he left, he quickly came back and picked up the brick from the ground.
” I almost forgot my heavenly brick.” he said with smile on his face before disappearing within the mountain.
