Chapter 888 - Fall Back (1/2)

Translator: Shiraishi  Editor: TheAlliance

The dozen Archmages were spread two to three hundred meters around the Ancestor Soul and were continuously casting and dodging. That range, for the 150-meter-tall Ancestor Soul, was nothing more than a few steps.

That poor man that got squeezed to death at the start was an example. No one dared to get within a hundred meters of that Ancestor Soul. Despite the size of the Ancestor Soul, it was very nimble. This was enough to easily cause a fatal injury, and being grabbed would inevitably lead to death.

Endless Flame Spears, Frost Lances, Rock Falls, and Wind Blades rained down on the body of the Ancestor Soul. The Ancestor Soul had also stopped attacking Lin Yun’s puppet army and instead focused on the dozen Archmages.

A Meteor Shower began to fall, causing countless meteors that were roughly eight meters wide to hurtle down in a large area. The Ancestor Soul even grabbed one of the meteors and threw it over as if it was a small rock, hurling it at one of the mages darting around him.

The falling meteors were easy to dodge because they followed a certain trajectory. But the ones thrown by the Ancestor Soul could barely be seen. After a meteor flew out, it instantly broke the sound barrier and a large wave of aura burst out, issuing a terrifying tiger-like roar.

A 5th Rank Archmage over a hundred meters away hadn’t thought that the Ancestor Soul could grab a meteor and throw it at him like a stone.

It almost instantly reached him as it struck at the speed of sound, and its sweeping power far surpassed the limits of what a flaming meteor could release.

It looked like a normal throw, but it blessed the flaming meteor with the power of a 9th Rank. The changes to it made it something even more terrifying than a 7th Tier Spell.

The Ice Shield and Runic Shield protecting that mage deformed greatly before loudly exploding. Because of the power behind the throw, cracks could be seen on the meteor before it landed on the mage.

“Rumble…”

A loud sound echoed as the meteor exploded, transforming into fragments along with that mage’s body.

Instant kill…

And this wasn’t over. The Ancestor Soul suddenly burst out and instantly killed a second mage. It was as if those mages didn’t have defensive spells at all. They simply couldn’t resist such cruel attacks.

When faced with this attack pattern, no one dared to stand still to cast. They had to keep moving.

After half a minute, Dephew who had been hanging relatively far back, unconsciously became the closest person to the Ancestor Soul. Among those Archmages that had attacked the Ancestor Soul, Dephew was the only 9th Rank Archmage.

Dephew had only been thinking about how to destroy this Ancestor Soul. He had gone all-out when attacking, but after the Ancestor Soul killed two mages, the others rapidly fell back, their attacks becoming much more timid.

The attack power of the other remaining Archmages didn’t add up to Dephew’s powerful spells, so this drew the Ancestor Soul’s attention.

The Meteor Shower kept raining down, and the Ancestor Soul extended a hand, swatting one of them out of the air.

The moment the Ancestor Soul’s big hand struck the big meteor, a huge explosion echoed as a visible shockwave swept the ground.

The meteor’s trajectory was forcibly altered, and it instantly arrived in front of Dephew. A terrifyingly long white trail could be seen in its wake, as it had even left a vacuum behind it from pushing aside the air.

A thunderous explosion echoed.

Dephew had already been on guard against the Ancestor Soul’s trick, but he hadn’t been prepared for the Ancestor Soul to directly swat it instead of throwing it.

Dephew’s hair stood on end as he unhesitantly used his Runic Shield, Elemental Shield, Mana Shield, and even a scale-like Magic Tool.

That Magic Tool looked like a Dragon’s scales, but was covered in some strange patterns. After Dephew used that Magic Tool, a terrifying Abyssal Aura spread out from the scales.

The Abyssal Aura instantly condensed into a huge and fierce Black Dragon’s head that clashed with the meteor.

This Meteor was terrifyingly quick. Its sweeping power was comparable to a 9th Rank Sword Saint’s all-out attack, not to mention the magical power of the Meteor itself.

Dephew’s Magic Tool was forged from an Abyssal Evil Dragon’s Dragonscale. It was a defensive Magic Tool that could block anything that didn’t have any Extraordinary Power.

A series of terrifying shockwaves lashed out, and they were even flickering with lightning. The collision between the opposing forces was so strong that it roused the elemental power within the air, causing complex changes.

The Meteor exploded in the mouth of that Abyssal Evil Dragon, and flames immediately shot out. A glaring ray of light shone as more than half of the Abyssal Evil Dragon’s head was blown up.
