Chapter 852 - Guard (1/2)

The famous future Blazing Corps would be able to use a thousand 9th Rank Archmages to form a Joint Chant Array to cast the 10th Tier Spell, Burning Earth, in ten seconds!

In those days, the Blazing Corps forcibly turned a small plane into a flaming hell without the help of a Heaven Mage, thoroughly destroying it…

But now, only ten members of Lin Yun’s mage squad could join together to form a Joint Chant Array. Any more wasn’t possible for them.

Having a spell chanted by ten people was completely different. Even everyone’s pauses had strict requirements, and each sound couldn’t be chanted at the same time. The ten people seemed to be chanting very fast, but the combination was in fact a single incantation!

High Tier spells required a good amount of preparation, so something like raising the density and activity of fire elements in an area would greatly reduce casting problems.

Four seconds…

The spell suppression of the forty others finally reached its limit. Their mana consumption had been too severe, but the ten had already finished their casting.

Crimson rays of light flew out of the ten Dragonscale Staves at the same time, and a large number of runes condensed in the air, flying towards the Sunderer’s head.

In an instant, three solid golden pillars covered in runes fell from the sky and surrounded the Sunderer.

The Sunderer paled when he saw these three pillars. He burst out with scarlet Aura and crazily rushed to break out of the encirclement.

But the three pillars then started to revolve and transformed into a golden cage trapping the Sunderer. Boundless scarlet Aura vaporized as his blade collided with the three pillars, but only the sound of metal colliding echoed.

By the time the area between the three pillars was reduced to three meters, the floor suddenly became deep red as red cracks started appearing. Thunderous sounds echoed from the ground as if a Planar Path was being opened.

The Sunder bellowed in despair, but he could no longer escape.

A terrifying aura burst out from the Sunderer’s feet as a crimson flame spurted out of the ground like a fountain. The flame carried a hellish, tyrannical aura of destruction.

The dark flames instantly engulfed the Sunderer. His shortsword transformed in molten iron, and his scarlet Battle Armor was corroding at a rapid pace. It only took one second before it transformed into green smoke and dissipated.

As the boundless, raging flames thoroughly flooded the Sunderer, after a second, the flames once again disappeared into the ground, and the Sunderer was nowhere to be found.

The ground returned to normal as if the Planar Path had never been opened.

Enderfa stared at the scene without being able to react. Anyone else wouldn’t have realized anything, but Enderfa had clearly seen through it… The cast just now had been highly abnormal.

“Merlin, what the hell is this? Wasn’t that the 8th Tier single-target fire spell, Hell Kiss?”

Lin Yun nodded.

“Yes, it’s Hell Kiss, but their casting speed is too slow, it’s too tight. They were only able to cast it by saturating the surroundings with fire elements, and they can’t change their target after casting. This is a bit too restrictive…”

Lin Yun not being satisfied with this made Enderfa roll his three pairs of eyes.

‘Damn, there was something huge about this cast… Ten Archmages, with the most powerful being at the 2nd Rank, were surprisingly able to cast an 8th Rank Hell Kiss!

‘And they took only three seconds for the incantation. Which joint chant spell needs less than ten seconds?

‘Not only did they chant it in three seconds, but they also successfully cast something that even a powerful 9th Rank Archmage might not be able to cast…

‘Hell Kiss, known as the strongest 8th Rank single-target incendiary spell. Without the power of a 9th Rank Archmage, how could it be successfully cast?

‘Even if it was successful, it would exhaust more than half of their mana, how could it be used in battle?’

Lin Yun remained silent, and Enderfa no longer asked; he only stared blankly and attentively at Kurumu, his thoughts hidden.

The fifty mages were now sitting on the ground, meditating. The fierce mana consumption had given the remaining 9th Rank High Mages an opportunity to advance to the Archmage realm.

As their mana rose up, all of their Magic Conducting Runes appeared, and the flames turned into a storm revolving around them.

The remaining 9th Rank High Mages were like firecrackers as they all broke through one after another.
