Episode 10 Baruch Chapter 9 The Cutting Edge

Desiree, Higginson, Miller, and several others stood silently at a distance, watching the cutthroat competition.

“Now let’s say that my speed isn’t as good as yours.” Hayward laughed as he looked at Linley, “Come on, you attack me and see how I deal with you.”

Linley also had some expectations.

The speed was inferior to the other party, so how would the Saint Demon Guide resist?

Linley instantly soared, transforming into a black phantom, and the moment Linley moved, Hayward immediately retreated at breakneck speed in the form of a fiery light, but it was clear that this Hayward retreated at a speed far inferior to Linley’s.

“I’ll see how you block.” Linley stared at Hayward.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” …… Suddenly the air steeply formed a house-sized flaming meteorite with a terrifying power, madly surging towards Linley, the dense flaming meteorite almost instantly completely obscuring the space in front of and above Linley.

Linley’s face changed.

Fire-type ninth level magic – Meteor Flame Rain. Although this move was much smaller than the number range and individual power of the earth system’s forbidden magic ‘Meteorite Skyfall’. But with so many meteorites rushing over, one had to break through in order to rush through and continue chasing after Hayward.

It was so densely packed that there wasn’t even a subtle space to dodge.

“Boom!” Linley went forward, ruthlessly impacting on the flame meteorites.

A flame meteorite was directly hit by Linley and flew away in all directions, and some of the meteorites were even directly shattered by the impact. Although Linley’s body was strong and he wasn’t afraid of this attack, his speed was greatly reduced by continuously hitting the flame meteorites.

“Peng!” A fist smashed the last flame meteorite in front of him, and Linley finally saw Hayward in the distance.

Hayward stood in the air, that red face filled with a smile, “Linley, you lost again.”

Linley nodded.

“This ninth level magic of yours can’t hurt me. However, it greatly reduced my speed. I rushed out, and I’m afraid you’ve already sent out a forbidden attack magic.” Linley was very clear that there was actually nothing he could do. Those meteorites weren’t ordinary rocks either, and Linley had broken through them with his strongest strength.

Desiree, who was watching the battle from the side, said, “Linley, the most basic way for a Saint Magus to deal with a Saint Realm Warrior is to block the opponent with instantaneous magic, quickly distance himself from the opponent, and then cast forbidden magic to attack the opponent.”

Linley nodded.

“But Mr. Hayward, you’re actually able to instantly send out level 9 magic, that’s really ……” Linley felt that the other party was terrifying, nowadays, even with the help of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon, Linley was only able to instantly send out level 7 magic.

Hayward laughed, “Of course. General holy magic guide mental power are very strong, they can generally instantly send level eight magic …… I can instantly send level nine magic, but also cultivation so many years, the reason for stronger mental power is just.”

Linley sighed in his heart, “Phoenix Illusion, being able to coalesce a fire phoenix of hundreds of meters into the size of ten meters. I’ve never even heard of it in the past.”

The general taboo magic ‘Phoenix Illusion’, forming a hundred meter sized fire phoenix was already terrifying. But this Hayward …… was clearly considered to be that kind of pinnacle figure amongst the Holy Magic Guides.

“But even if it’s an eighth level magic. In a moment of danger, it’s still doable for a Saint Magician to frantically and instantaneously send out an eighth level magic to slow you down.” Hayward affirmed.

Linley nodded and laughed, “Yet, it’s not as effective as this level nine magic of Mr. Hayward’s… I broke through your ‘Meteor Firestorm’. It took much longer. If it was an eighth level magic that was blocking me, I’d probably be much faster.”

“Linley, you’re considered a pinnacle amongst Saint realm warriors. If it was an average Saint Realm warrior, they wouldn’t be as fast as you when faced with instantaneous rank eight magic.” Hayward said.

Linley nodded.

Linley completely understood …… it was like an ordinary person, running a hundred meters might take ten seconds. However, if the runway was allowed to fill up with mud and he was allowed to run again, perhaps it would take him fifteen seconds. Or even longer. The rotten mud, to an ordinary person is not much of an attack.

But it can get in the way. But it can definitely slow you down.

Mud is to ordinary people. Just like this flaming meteorite to Linley, he naturally had to slow down.

“Linley. You have to understand. When a Saint Magus deals with a Saint realm warrior, what they do is generally slow down the opponent! Such as instantaneous magic, such as some of the negative effect magic in the darkness department such as slowing spells …… and so on, as long as it makes you unable to catch up to him for a time. The Holy Magician will have a chance to cast forbidden magic to attack you.”

Desiree and the others also flew over.

“Encountering a Saint Demonic Guide’s forbidden magic, you know how powerful it is.” Desiree said to Linley with a smile.

Linley nodded his head.

Forbidden magic was terrifying, like the ‘Phoenix Illusion’, even if Linley stabbed his sword through the head of the fire phoenix, the fire phoenix would continue to attack without caring. It was because it was formed by elements and wasn’t a creature at all. This kind of forbidden magic was even more terrifying than a Saint realm magical beast.

At least, Saint Domain Magical Beasts were still afraid of being stabbed.

Against taboo magic, one could only attack the opponent over and over again to make the opponent’s energy deplete.

“Linley.” The beautiful woman, ‘Ice Catherine’, also smiled and said, “Instantaneous magic, slowing down the opponent’s speed, is only one of the more passive ways to deal with Saint Demonic Guides. In fact, Holy Magic Guides also have an extremely powerful means.”

“Oh?”

Linley looked at Hayward in surprise, “Mr. Hayward, could it be that you still have a means?”

A Saint Demonic Guide, it might not be too terrifying, right?

Hayward nodded, “That’s for sure, this means, is the move that Saint Demonic Guides rely on the most. Linley, try attacking me again, you’ll be very clear when you feel it for yourself.” Said Hayward as he flew back away, keeping a distance of a hundred meters from Linley first.

“The move that you rely on the most?” Linley was curious.

“Boom!” Linley rushed towards Hayward once more, and then Hayward was motionless in the distance, confidently looking at Linley.

When Linley was about to approach him, Linley’s face abruptly changed, and he just felt a terrifying mental storm sweep over him at once, impacting his soul. In just an instant, Linley felt his mind go dizzy, his body shaking, and it took several seconds before he came to his senses.

Seconds, in a Saint

Domain battles, had already decided fate.

Linley looked at Hayward in surprise: “Spiritual attack?”

“Haha……” Miller flew over and laughed, “Linley. This isn’t quite a spiritual attack. If it was a spiritual attack, I’m afraid you would have already had a splitting headache and crashed down.”

A group of people from Desiree flew over.

Desley himself narrated, “Linley. What is it that makes a magician stronger than a warrior?”

“Spiritual power.” Linley didn’t hesitate.

Desiree nodded and said, “Yes, the strongest thing about magicians is their spiritual power, and the spiritual power of a Saint Magus level is even more oceanic and terrifying. They are unknown how much higher than the spiritual power of a Saint Realm warrior. Apart from the few Saint Magi who have just entered the Holy Domain, the vast majority of Saint Magi, all know the relatively elementary method of ‘Spirit Storm’.”

“This Spiritual Storm does not rely on comprehending the elemental laws to create a spiritual attack. Rather, it is very simple …… to directly rely on a large amount of spiritual power to impact the opponent’s soul. This kind of means is relatively simple, and generally after reaching the Holy Domain, it won’t take long. Saint Magician will comprehend it.” Hayward affirmed.

Linley also understood.

Just now, the so-called ‘spiritual storm’ was like a large amount of spiritual energy rushing over together, impacting the opponent’s soul over and over again, but in reality, it wasn’t a strong attack on the soul.

“Hayward has certainly long since comprehended a unique spiritual attack, if he really attacked you with his spiritual power. You’d be in deep trouble.” Desiree laughed.

Linley understood the essence of a spiritual attack (soul attack), which was to make weak spiritual energy instantly coalesce like a ‘sharp knife’ to stab at the opponent’s earthly soul. This kind of attack was truly terrifying! Souls that were not strong enough. One might even be directly pierced and have their soul scattered.

“Spirit storm! Haha ……” Hayward shook his head and laughed, “This name was given by the holy magic guides a long time ago. But in reality, this is just an attack at the very beginning of spiritual power. It can also only deal with Saint Realm warriors whose spiritual power is too much weaker than theirs.”

Linley’s heart palpitated.

Saint Magi, they were indeed terrifying.

Whether it was instantaneous magic to slow down an opponent, or casting a spiritual storm to impact an opponent’s soul. They were all very effective.

“The number of Saint Magic Guides is rarer than Saint Realm Warriors, and generally Saint Magic Guides have a slight advantage.” Higginson laughed aloud. “Linley, but there are strong people amongst the Sanctuary Warriors, and there are also strong people amongst the Saint Magic Guides. Who exactly is strong still depends on the individual.”

Linley nodded.

If he really fought with Hayward, just now, facing Hayward’s meteorite obstruction, Linley could have used ‘Earth Upanishad – Hundred Heavy Waves’ to make the meteorites in his path turn to pieces to appear as a passageway to come.

Back then, with a single stroke of his sword, Linley had pierced through the belly of Mount Tu Jiao.

Just now, Linley had only simulated an average Saint realm powerhouse, if it was truly a life and death battle. I’m afraid that Bebe would also strike. Lin Lei, Bebe rushed over in both directions …… With Bebe s speed, how many Holy Magic Guides are faster than him?

Even if the spirit attacked. Could they attack both Linley and Bebe at the same time?

“Saint Demonic Guides are stronger than Saint Realm warriors. It’s just a general result. Yet it can’t be generalized.” Linley understood.

Of course, it was absolutely simple for this Hayward to kill himself. If the other party were to perform a ‘spiritual attack’, with the other party’s spiritual power, he could definitely make himself fall down with a headache, and then attack with that fire phoenix, he would not be able to escape at all.

There are more strong hands in the strongest.

Hayward is great, but I’m afraid that when it comes to Fahn, I’m afraid that it’s not going to work again, Fahn’s spiritual attack Lin Lei has been taught.

……

On the way back, Bebe said in a soul exchange on Linley’s shoulder, “Boss, when you cultivate to the level of Saint Magician in the future, with the combination of Dragonblood Warrior and Saint Magician abilities, hmmm …… it’s going to be a breeze to deal with them.”

Linley smiled.

If the humanoid state reached the Saint realm, and the magical aspect also reached the Saint realm, and the two were combined, I’m afraid that the strength would be doubled tens of times or even more. At that time, Linley was afraid that he would have the confidence to fight a battle with a level like Faun and Desiree.

Yulan Empire’s imperial capital, Master Longus’ residence.

Delia sat alone in the courtyard drinking tea and flipping through Master Longus’s magical notes. While the Wild Thunder Blizzard Eagle ‘Pare’ as well as the Earth Bear ‘Hatton’ which were talking to each other in a low voice in the language of magical beasts on the side.

“Eh?” Delia’s eyes lit up as she looked at the point narrated in the magic notes, and a smile appeared on her face.

The Holy Magician’s understanding of magic was indeed very high. Delia also felt that she had benefited a lot.

“An outsider is coming.” The voice of the Earth Bear ‘Hatton’ rang out, and Delia looked up at Hatton in confusion, “Someone is coming? How come the guards didn’t come to inform us? Ah Huang, are you deliberately talking nonsense here.” Delia laughed as she looked at the Earth Bear ‘Hatton’.

The Earth Bear’s small eyes struggled to widen, “Delia, you don’t believe me? Am I that kind of bear?”

“Someone did come.” Delia also sensed it at this time. In terms of her ability to sense the surrounding, she was far inferior to the Holy Domain Wraiths.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside.

“May I ask if Master Longus is here?” A calm and confident voice resounded outside.

“Come in.” Delia said casually, the other party was by no means an ordinary person to come without being informed. Only to see the courtyard door being pushed open, two handsome and handsome youths walked in together, Delia immediately stood up at a glance, “Delia pays her respects to your majesty.”

Of these two youths, one of them was none other than the Yulan Empire’s Majesty, Emperor Rande.

His Majesty Lander’s eyes also lit up when he saw Delia and smiled, “Delia is getting prettier and prettier, right, where is your teacher?”

“Your Majesty, you and George will wait here for a moment first.” Delia said, and then looked at Earth Bear, “Ah Huang, ask your teacher if he has time now? His Majesty wants to see him.” The youth who came with His Majesty Rande was none other than ‘George’, the youngest Minister of the Yulan Pavilion of the current Yulan Empire, and the red man beside His Majesty the Emperor.
