Chapter 753 - Both Sides Suffer (1/2)
Terrifying black lightning appeared at the point of impact between the two black spheres. One after another, snake-like bolts of lightning kept revolving around the two black spheres.
A black bolt of lightning rushed towards the ground and blasted a hole that was over ten meters wide. It should be known that the ground there was sturdier than Iron Essence!
Then, countless glaring black lightning bolts shot in all directions, and the sounds of explosions never stopped.
The ground within a kilometer had originally been flattened by the earlier shockwave before being turned into a honeycomb by the fragments of the collision, but it was now filled with huge holes. Dust and large fragments were sent flying up before being pressured back down by the power permeating the air.
The terrifying fluctuations spread between the two large spheres and the air became heavier as one ripple after another could be seen slowly spreading out.
In just three to four seconds, the horrible pressure prevented any more fragments from leaving the ground.
After another three to four seconds, cracks began to appear on the ground as if it couldn't handle the heavy burden. Cracks even started appearing on the hillsides.
It was worse on the domed sky. A crack that was over a kilometer long could be seen spreading. A large number of fragments fell down from it, but after falling down a dozen meters, they were repelled back up.
The Black Dragon Warlord ground his teeth and his face distorted as he pushed the black sphere in front of him. As for Duncan, the black flames within his eye sockets fiercely flickered as he also used his hands to push the black sphere.
The black smoke around them had already converged into the black spheres, and even more terrible fluctuations were emerging as a violent and oppressive power rapidly aggregated.
Lin Yun became deathly pale. This was no longer a matter of attracting attention. 'Damn, these two lunatics… Don't drag me down with you if you want to die! They are competing in terms of mana, they have completely lost their minds!'
Indeed, the Black Dragon Warlord and Duncan hadn't been able to overwhelm each other with their spells, so they began the most dangerous and terrifying battle of mana.
As long as one wasn't completely unhinged, no mage would do this kind of thing!
Competing over mana meant giving up on all spells, all mysteries, just to focus on winning with pure mana. This was comparable to warriors abandoning all technique and just fist-fighting.
One of the bloodiest and most dangerous duels among warriors was called the three steps flesh beating. The size of the battlefield was only three steps, and the two opponents would have no place to dodge as deadly traps would be installed behind them. The one who was forced to take a step back would die.
But when compared to mages staking everything on a direct confrontation of mana, even the most arrogant warrior would sweat when hearing about it and would definitely say that this was more dangerous than the three steps flesh beating.
Because it didn't matter who won in a fierce contest of mana... Unless the gap was huge and it was done just to pressure an opponent, the best outcome would be suffering 80% of the damage the enemy suffered. The loser would suffer backlash and his mana would instantly ignite. At that time, let alone his body, his soul would also burn.
The best outcome for the winner would be losing the majority of his mana and losing a rank. If it went a bit poorly for them, they could get a terrifying mana backlash and become crippled.
If the two were evenly matched, then both of them would surely die...
Now… The competition between the Black Dragon Warlord and Duncan had lasted for no less than ten seconds. Lin Yun could already foresee the final outcome, especially since the reaction of the two black spheres converging was becoming more and more chaotic. He immediately cast Haste and turned around to flee.
Lin Yun had flown for over a kilometer when something happened behind him.
A small black dot that didn't emit a single bit of mana fluctuation appeared between the two spheres. As the black dot appeared, the two black spheres started distorting.
It looked as if a hole had been pierced into the two black spheres and the insides of the spheres were spilling towards the small black dot in the center.
In an instant, that black spot casually grew to become a black sphere of its own that was half a meter in size.
That small sphere devoured the two black spheres containing the mana of the Black Dragon Warlord and Duncan before suddenly letting out a terrifying fluctuation.
The Black Dragon Warlord and Duncan simply couldn't do anything when that small black sphere exploded.
It felt as if darkness kept silently expanding and continuously devoured everything in its surroundings, but it only looked like an ordinary shadow.
When coming into contact with the Black Dragon Warlord and Duncan, it looked as if their bodies were hit by a Golden Behemoth. They turned into blurs as they were sent flying over a kilometer away and ruthlessly crashed into two hills.
