Chapter 1529: Chapter 1529: Curse Assault

Meilin finished speaking with a smile, and amid Pei Yan’s puzzled gaze, raised his left hand and beckoned with a finger to produce four rings. If it were someone else like Pei Yan, they might not find it strange, but Pei Yan instantly recognized the origin of these rings. Weren’t they part of the rings Ye Ruozai had seized from Flamel?

Seeing this, Pei Yan instinctively released his Divine Sense to probe outside the arena, only to discover that rings identical to these were still worn by his friends. This meant that Meilin had not forcibly taken back these rings, implying that there were more similar rings in the Magic Plane? Given the depth of the Magic Plane, it’s not impossible!

Pei Yan was still in confusion, but Meilin directly launched a new round of attacks. He raised his magic staff to the sky and lightly chanted, "Fire Forbidden Spell. Sixteen Linked Meteor Technique!"

Without any energy fluctuations or casting preludes, after Meilin shouted this, the sky above Pei Yan was immediately covered by black clouds, and the first meteor broke through the clouds, hastily aiming for Pei Yan on the ground below with the fastest speed.

This magic was all too familiar to Pei Yan. The first prohibited spell he faced in a Magic Plane battlefield was this spell. Back then, although Flamel cast this spell with the aid of an incantation puppet to speed up the casting, it still required preparation time, and the speed of the meteor’s descent was not as fast as it is this time. Is this the power of a legendary grandmaster mage? Could there really be such a huge gap between the two?

Puzzled or not, Pei Yan’s steps did not stop. The last time Pei Yan was attacked by this forbidden spell, he was trapped, but now with freedom of movement, there’s no reason for him to stand still and take the hit. The meteor might be fast, but it’s not as fast as his movement speed. So Pei Yan dashed towards Meilin and his group in a straight line of attack. As long as they were embroiled in melee combat, the opposing mages would have to restrain themselves regardless of the spells they cast to avoid friendly fire, and Aleister’s use of time-based spells would drastically consume his life force. There were only so many chances left for him to forcibly control himself!

"Incantation-based Magic: Blessing of the Elf King!" In the face of Pei Yan’s renewed assault, the three knights remained vigilant, while Meilin did not rush to cast an attack spell. Instead, he waved his magic staff, casting a set of blessing spells on himself and the other two.

"Miss Witch, please cast all the spells you can to your heart’s content! Under the blessing of the Elf King, your spellcasting speed will greatly increase, while the expenditure will greatly decrease! Remember to offer the corresponding tributes to the Elf Masters afterward to repay their assistance!" Meilin looked playfully at the Hecate Witch standing beside him and winked as he reminded her with a smile.

Elves! That is, besides the Master of Origin, the purely originated force creatures occasionally generated between heaven and earth. Such creatures mostly possess only a single original attribute, being the closest existences to the Master of Origin. Elves are what they are called in the Magic Plane, whereas in other planes, they are known as Spirit Immortals, Beast Spirits, Primordial Demons, etc.

And the one who can lead all Elf Masters to become their king is, naturally, the Master of Origin Supreme in the Magic Plane. The Elf King is just one of his many titles. Obtaining the Blessing of the Elf King means that whichever of the three on the scene casts any spell, they will receive the response and assistance from the corresponding power of origin elf masters. This spell involves invoking the Supreme’s power, so it can’t just be used by any random mage or witch. Those who succeed in casting it are undoubtedly highly trusted and favored by the Supreme.

As for the repayment Meilin mentioned, it means that after the battle, the caster needs to pay the Elf Masters, from whom they borrowed strength, the corresponding amount of reward. This reward could be foods loved by elves or the payment could be energy feedback several times greater than what was put into the spell. All this depends on the Elf Master’s temper and personality. If they have a good temper, you will pass easily, but if they have a bad one, you’re out of luck as they will torment you endlessly. Of course, this so-called torment only happens within limits and won’t actually take your life, but even so, it keeps the caster very busy. Consequently, it is a highly risky spell.

After all, every Elf Master or Spirit Immortal is the Master of Origin’s beloved one in their plane, and they are very indulgent towards their kind. So no one dares to request assistance without fulfilling the obligation of repayment. At this time, Meilin was summoned from the time stream, and regardless of the outcome of this battle, he will disappear with the spell’s end, so he cannot pay the Elf Masters’ fee. Thus, post-battle, all repayment and tribute matters fall on Aleister and Hecate, which is also a small joke by this senior for those juniors.

At the moment, Hecate couldn’t be bothered by the headache of dealing with the odd personality traits of the Elf Masters afterward! The Blessing of the Elf King! It’s a spell so rare that many mages and witches don’t even have the chance to be duped by it! Being blessed by this spell means you can borrow origin power to some extent to cast spells that were previously difficult to perform!

"Mixed Forbidden Spell! Earth’s Mother’s Anger!" A flash of blue light in her eyes and the source energy around her exploded, Hecate excitedly opened her arms. Simultaneously, two masses of green and yellow arrays quickly formed in her palms, as the phantom images of the Life Elf Master and Earth Elf Master faintly appeared behind her. Two forces poured simultaneously into Hecate’s palm arrays.

Bam!

Just as Pei Yan propelled himself forward, he suddenly felt his body grow heavy, as if subjected to a gravity field cast by the Summer language. The mysterious pull from beneath dragged him towards the earth below. During the descent, he noticed the ground splitting open in front of him, and countless thorn-covered vines burst through the earth, growing rapidly.

In just the blink of an eye, Pei Yan was thoroughly entangled by the vines. Although this pressure wasn’t enough to tear his body apart, it did stop his attempt to dash forward with all his might. The very next second, as the amount of source energy increased, the force exerted by the vines intensified immensely, practically brutal in their growth. The vines actually pulled Pei Yan back to his original position with a vigorous raise and slammed him repeatedly into the ground.

While the vines pummeled Pei Yan like hammers pounding a drum, the second meteor in the air also descended. Unlike the first meteor that failed to hit Pei Yan and only reached him with shockwaves, the trapped Pei Yan was right under the meteor’s descending center this time. The meteor and descending vines fell together, slamming Pei Yan harshly into the arena!

Having seized a successful hit, Meilin raised his staff with one hand towards the sky, accelerating the subsequent meteor’s descent! One after another, the meteors trailed in a rapid succession.
