Chapter 1264 – Earth and steel
Earth Elemental Spirit Incarnation! It was a powerful spell reinforcing the power of earth elemental spells. Moreover, the user was immune to all low tier earth spells. If the caster’s Earth Law’s comprehension was a lot worse than Lin Yun, none of their spells would be effective.
As Lin Yun started chanting his spell, perfect basic law runes appeared one after another. The citrine-like law runes permeated the surroundings and formed a hundred-meter-big circular array in the air.
The wheel shadow behind Lin Yun also emitted an earthen-colored radiance which enveloped the array. As he chanted, Lin Yun threw a pitch-black lump of earth in the center of the array.
This was Elemental Earth Essence, it could be used to reinforce the power of earth spells. It was very precious and could only be produced in earth elemental planes. It would only condense in the depths of environments rich in earth elements in other types of planes.
In a small village in the distance, a sinister middle-aged man wearing a dark golden robe noticed Lin Yun’s movements through a window. His expression suddenly changed when he saw the huge dazzling array appear and he then unhesitantly rushed out and flew towards Lin Yun.
“Damned b*stard, you dare?! Everyone related to you will die, just wait for our Death Sickle’s retaliation!”
The middle-aged man flew to the sky, brandishing his magic staff. Dense earth elements condensed into a thirty-meter-big earthen hand in the air and fiercely swatted towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun faintly glanced at that middle-aged man before ignoring him and continuing his casting.
The power of the rock-like hand sharply plummeted when it reached the ten-meter-radius around Lin Yun. By the time this earthen hand fiercely swatted Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield, the shield’s mana, law runes, and elemental power simultaneously burst out and thoroughly warded off that earthen hand. Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield slightly shook, but Lin Yun remained motionless and the incantation wasn’t interrupted.
The middle-aged man was livid, his sudden attack hadn’t interrupted Lin Yun’s incantation. Earth magic was most proficient in impact power, if an earth spell hit, it would definitely display the strongest physical power.
But even so, Lin Yun’s spellcasting wasn’t interrupted. It looked like Lin Yun’s incantation was about to end. That earthen spell had already dissipated and the earth elements already merged into that spell.
The middle-aged man was somewhat worried.
‘Sh*t, how could that guy have such a strong control over his spell? I can’t even interrupt him!
‘If this goes on and the spell is released, the Death Sickle bandit group would be thoroughly destroyed. Who knows how much time and effort would be needed to rebuild it…’
Counterspell, Rockfall, Summon Meteorite, Gravity…
A series of spells was released, but not a single spell could interrupt Lin Yun’s casting. Both Enderfa and Syudos were watching the show from Lin Yun’s sides.
“What an idiot, a 2nd Rank Rock Mage thinks he can interrupt Merlin’s casting? Truly too naive. Merlin’s mana control and spell control have already reached an unfathomable level. Moreover, he just came from that terrifying old man’s place.
“Under the suppression of that old man, Merlin’s control of Laws already exceeded its limits. That idiot’s comprehension of Earth isn’t as good as Merlin’s, yet he still dares to use earth spells against Merlin, what a stupid and pathetic guy…”
Enderfa’s three faces were ridiculing the middle-aged man while floating next to Lin Yun. He didn’t even need to stop that guy, because with the Earth Elemental Spirit Incarnation, those spells were no different from tickles.
After trying to interrupt him for a dozen seconds without any effect, the middle-aged man could only stare blankly as the dazzling array spreading over four hundred meters condensed into an earthen yellow dazzling sphere which fell on the fort.
A dozen Sword Saints and four Archmages were rushing through a three-meter-tall winding passage inside the belly of one of the mountains. They had been the fastest to escape and only suffered damage from the first Four Element Bomb, they managed to escape the following attacks.
“It’s definitely the Gilded Rose, those idiots dared to attack our fort. Hmpf, just you wait, after this, none of the convoys of the Gilded Rose will be let off… No, none of the forces cooperating with the Gilded Rose will be able to escape.
“In any case, our public name is the Death Sickle bandit group, it has nothing to do with the family. Remember to let the family step in, the Gilded Rose privately dispatched people into the family’s territory, this is a provocation to our Rodney Family…”
“Right, the Gilded Rose must be eliminated. Their items are really good, there would be no market left for our Rodney Family if they keep growing.
“All the idiots who thought they could challenge our Rodney Family have already been taken care of, this Gilded Rose is the same, it’s just that they have to suffer the bloody revenge of the Death Sickle bandit group…”
The few Archmages gritted their teeth with calm expressions as they swore to retaliate. Those Sword Saints all had dark expressions filled with rage and hatred, they were all waiting to retaliate once they got out of there.
One of the Archmages suddenly came to a halt, shock visible in his eyes.
“Earth Tremor?”
The entire mountain started shivering, rocks kept falling down within the tunnels. The tunnels kept shaking and the tremors became stronger and stronger.
“Sh*t, hurry up and protect yourself! It’s an Earth Tremor Spell! That damned Heaven Mage can actually use an Earth Tremor! Support the tunnel, we definitely can’t allow our place to collapse.”
Aura and mana simultaneously appeared inside the narrow tunnel, supporting the ceiling within a dozen meters and preventing the tunnel from caving in.
As long as they could support this area, they would have no lack of methods to escape once the Earth Tremor was over. The Sword Saints could forcibly dig out a passage while the earth mages could keep splitting the earth open and create a way out. There were a lot of methods, as long they managed to survive their current ordeal.
The mountain shook increasingly more violently, and the pressure kept increasing. After a few seconds, the side supported by a 3rd Rank Sword Saint collapsed and rocks loudly fell down, instantly crushing the Sword Saint’s Aura Defense and reducing the Sword Saint into mincemeat.
All the bandits were stunned. The next second, the area covered by another Sword Saint collapsed and that Sword Saint ended up buried under rocks and soil. Blood dyed the earth red, and it looked like blood was forcibly squeezed out of the soil.
They didn’t need to think to know that the Sword Saint had been flattened by the earth, crushed to death.
“It’s not an Earth Tremor Spell, it’s an Earthquake and an Extreme Heavy Spell! That’s a hybrid Extraordinary Spell!” One of the Archmages shrieked.
The rock and soil above his head loudly collapsed, crushing his shield in an instant. The tunnel loudly collapsed in less than five seconds, crushing all of them.
It was like the several-hundred-meter-tall mountain above their head thoroughly pressured their bodies. Let alone a Sword Saint or an Archmage, even a Low Rank Heaven powerhouse would have been pressed to death.
That wasn’t just a few dozen tons or a few hundred tons, it was at least a few hundred thousands tons forcibly pushing down.
Looking at it from the sky, the three mountains surrounding the fort fiercely shook and an invisible and terrifying power forcibly pressured that U-shaped mountain range. The Earthquake loosened the structure of the mountains while the Extreme Heavy pressed down with several dozen times the power of gravity, leaving only one outcome.
All the cracks within the mountains were squeezed and the tunnels caved in until not a single crack was left within the mountains. The earth was even compressed until it was as hard as rock, only then did the mountains return to normal.
Anyone below the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm, even earth mages, could only end up crushed to death.
