Chapter 426: Chapter 348: Breakthrough

As a Level Six Magic that could directly amplify Magic Power Strength, Magic Harmony was feverishly sought after by nearly every Empowerment Mage.

In fact, the commission fees for Mages who had mastered Magic Harmony versus those who hadn’t were on completely different levels.

On the market, a Magic Harmony Scroll typically sold for no less than four thousand Gold Coins!

It was the Magic Shaman had always dreamed of acquiring.

There was no time to think.

Shaman hurriedly waved his Magic Wand, casting a full set of enhancements on Marcus, Redia, and Kilian to prepare them for battle.

「Before the Central Cave.」

The Rock Dragon Snake, having just completed its evolution and heavily wounded the Adrian Squad, had an expression of contempt and mockery flickering in its eyes.

But suddenly, it sensed that something was wrong.

’That Mage... He’s dangerous!’

The previous Frost Dragon Snake had been severely injured by him twice.

’What is he up to now?’

’I have to take him out!’

"ROAR!"

The Rock Dragon Snake threw back its head and roared, once again stirring the Power of Earth!

The boulders that had been blasted out by the earlier eruption of earth and stone, along with some scattered fragments, were all pulled by a powerful force.

They floated up, gathering around the Rock Dragon Snake’s body, a dense swarm suspended in mid-air.

Its cold Snake Eyes locked onto Zelir’s figure.

’You vile, cunning humans... Die!’

Thousands upon thousands of rocks, driven by the Dragon Snake’s will, formed a shadow that blotted out the sky.

The sky-full of rubble descended like a tidal wave, rushing straight for Zelir!

In an instant, the entire battlefield was plunged into a deadly storm!

Except the raindrops were rocks, and each one, empowered by high-speed kinetic energy, was powerful enough to shatter bone and pulverize flesh!

An ordinary person caught in it would likely be beaten into a bloody pulp within seconds.

To say nothing of the giant boulders, two to three meters in diameter, mixed within the rockfall unleashed by the Rock Dragon Snake!

"Brace yourselves!"

Marcus roared. "We have to hold on!"

Redia glanced back at Zelir.

He was still focused on his Casting, having clearly entrusted his safety to them.

Constructing the Magic Harmony Array wasn’t a problem for Zelir, but it required some time.

After all, it was a more complex Level Six Empowerment Magic. He couldn’t finish the Casting in just a few seconds like Instructor Manlin could.

Moreover, he had to resist the piercing pain coming from the depths of his brain while Casting, which also affected his efficiency somewhat.

Redia looked away and steeled her resolve.

’I absolutely will not let the Rock Dragon Snake interfere with you...!’

At that very moment, as the core of their defensive line, the Fighting Qi around Kilian’s body suddenly intensified.

It also began to extend and expand outwards.

The spreading Fighting Qi actually formed a sphere, like a protective barrier.

This Fighting Qi enveloped all four of them, himself included, sealing them within a perfect barrier.

This was a use of Fighting Qi that Kilian had comprehended after breaking through to High Tier Middle Level Warrior—Shield Domain!

For Kilian, Fighting Qi was no longer just for strengthening himself or creating Enchanted Weapons.

Inside the Shield Domain, everyone’s Defense Power would be enhanced.

Furthermore, when a teammate took damage, a portion of it would be transferred to him, making it an extremely useful defensive Skill.

At the edge of the Forest Area, Zanxi held her Recording Crystal Stone high, not daring to miss a single second of the scene.

The fierce winds struck, and the rocks rained down!

"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!!!"

Rubble of all sizes bombarded their Shields, like a hailstorm of bullets.

The three members of the Vanguard protecting Zelir were undergoing a severe test.

Marcus and Redia were responsible for the left and right flanks, respectively, while the front was left to Kilian.

Several giant boulders came crashing down!

As the core point of support, Kilian used his indestructible Fighting Qi and body to withstand the most terrifying frontal impact head-on!

The moment his Shield made contact with a massive boulder, its surface was smashed and dented.

Kilian took two steps back, then immediately channeled his Fighting Qi to wrap around the boulder and shatter it.

The three of them formed an insurmountable iron defense line.

The squad members in the rear watched, completely stunned.

They couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be in the middle of such an assault.

Forget about just getting injured... it would be a question of whether they could even survive.

Finally, the intense, thirty-second-long assault slowly died down.

The ground was covered in a thick layer of fine gravel and sand.

It was all residue from the rocks that had been shattered against their Shields.

The battlefield fell into a dead silence.

"Zelir and the others..."

Rolin looked ahead, a bit dazed.

’What happened to them?’

A powerful Magic Wave swept over them!

The temperature of the air began to rise rapidly.

Rolin and Adrian both picked up on this change.

’Zelir is okay!’

’So what Magic is he casting?’

’Is it some kind of Fire Magic...? No... that’s not right. It’s not just the searing heat... there are also faint serpents of electricity crackling within it.’

Flame... and lightning!

It was a Magic that actually combined the two most destructive Elements!

The thick smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

Under the cover of the three vanguards, Zelir had already finished charging his Magic.

A magnificent Long Spear, filled with a destructive aura, hovered before him.

The body of the spear looked like semi-solidified lava, yet amid the flickering firelight, violent electrical currents sizzled and crackled.

Crimson and azure intertwined, containing a heart-stopping Power within.

A Four Level Multi-layered Spell Structure Magic.

The Flame Thunder Spear!

At this moment, under the effects of the Overclocking Potion and Magic Harmony, Zelir’s Magic Power Strength had reached the highest point it had ever been.

Power surged within his body, and the air itself seemed to quicken.

The fine sand and gravel around him vibrated and scattered, as if in fear of something.

Kilian, panting heavily, glanced back.

When his gaze fell upon the Magic Zelir had charged, the shock in his eyes was impossible to conceal.

’To think he still had this much terrifying Power!’

Zelir reached out and gripped the middle of the spear’s shaft.

With a light twist of his wrist, he deftly spun the spearhead in a brilliant flourish, then aimed it directly at the Rock Dragon Snake.

’Come on, Rock Dragon Snake. Let’s see if that defense you’re so proud of can actually stop my attack!’

Without a moment’s hesitation, the Flame Thunder Spear shot forward!

A streak of intertwined red and blue light tore through the sky, hurtling toward the Rock Dragon Snake!

At the same time, the Rock Dragon Snake opened its great maw and let out a final roar!

Countless fragments of rock condensed in front of its throat, rapidly forming a gigantic stone sphere.

With a piercing shriek, a shockwave erupted from the rear of the giant stone sphere as it launched itself toward the Flame Thunder Spear!

However, the instant the two collided, the stone sphere was pierced and shattered by the Flame Thunder Spear.

An earthy-yellow flower of stone bloomed in mid-air.

The stone sphere hadn’t even managed to detonate the Flame Thunder Spear prematurely.

The spear passed through the massive rock as if a blade piercing tofu, continuing toward the snake’s head with undiminished momentum.

The Rock Dragon Snake finally began to feel a sense of terror.

’This Magic the human cast... it seems to be far beyond my expectations!’

Driven by instinct, the yellowish-brown of the scales on its head deepened, almost turning from earthy-yellow to brown.

But it was all for naught.

The last thing reflected in its somber, yellowish-brown Snake Eyes was the rapidly approaching image of the Flame Thunder Spear.

A direct hit!

"BOOM!!!"

A deafening roar echoed across the entire clearing!

The explosion was like a clap of thunder, and the light that burst from the Flame Thunder Spear illuminated half the sky, like the glow of a sunset.

Wave after wave of high-speed shockwaves surged outward, whipping the fine sand and gravel into a tide more than ten meters high.

Rolin covered her ears, forcing herself not to duck or look away, but to stare directly at the scene of the Flame Thunder Spear’s detonation.

She saw clearly as the hard scales were crushed as if they were rotten wood.

The tip of the spear plunged into the Rock Dragon Snake’s snout and drove in a straight line into its skull.

Inside the snake’s skull, light flashed, and the terrifying destructive power of the Flame Thunder Spear was completely unleashed in that instant.

The Rock Dragon Snake’s skull burst apart like a watermelon!

After that, the incredibly brilliant light made it impossible for her to look directly, lest her eyes be burned.

When the rumbling finally subsided, she looked back.

Before the Central Cave, atop the reared-up body of the snake, the head was gone.

The thick scales covering its body began to disintegrate, shattering inch by inch and falling like trickling sand.

Then, the entire body of the Dragon Snake, having lost the Power to support it, crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Nine-headed Dragon Snake, successfully vanquished!
