Chapter 765: Chapter 523: The Legend’s Strike on the Serpent Head and Master Fran’s Protection
The deathly black mist moved with extreme speed.
It ignored the bounds of space, crossing the thousand-meter battlefield in the blink of an eye.
The other Legendary Powerhouses were either locked in combat with the serpent heads or preparing Forbidden Spells. They had no time to come to the rescue.
The stench of death was already upon him.
A trace of determination flashed through Master Gregory’s cloudy eyes.
His specialty, Elemental Magic, was vast and overwhelming, designed to shatter finesse with brute force. But against this bizarre attack that ignored all defenses, it was clumsy and useless.
He couldn’t dodge it.
He couldn’t block it.
’Then... let’s be destroyed together!’
"ROAR!"
He let out a roar filled with indignation and madness!
He ignored the deathly black mist right before him, instead pouring all of his focus into the three Elemental Giants still wrestling with the Hydra!
"Detonate!"
Master Gregory’s hair and beard stood on end.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In that instant, the massive amount of Magic Power infused into the three thousand-meter-tall Elemental Giants was completely detonated!
This was no simple disintegration.
It was three terrifying explosions, each comparable to a volcanic eruption!
A raging torrent of the Earth Element transformed into the purest storm of destruction, sweeping out in all directions!
Caught in the sudden, point-blank explosions, the Hydra’s biting and spitting heads were blasted apart, sending flesh and blood flying. Its massive body reeled back violently.
The assault was temporarily halted!
However, the deathly black mist was almost completely unaffected.
Like a specter, it passed through the raging elemental turbulence and was already less than ten meters from Master Gregory!
The dense, deathly aura caused ashen, necrotic spots to appear on the Master’s exposed skin.
He acted as if he didn’t see it.
He just raised his hands, which had already begun to wither, mustering his last ounce of strength to complete the unfinished Celestial Calamity Forbidden Spell!
Just then.
A figure appeared before him.
It was a figure also wearing a Mage Robe, one who had always seemed somewhat low-key on the battlefield.
Master Frank.
He did not turn back.
He just calmly raised the codex in his hands.
In that moment, the pages of the ancient, heavy codex—a tome passed down for untold years—began flipping on their own with a loud WHIRRR!
Immediately after.
FWOOSH!
A tuft of golden Flame suddenly erupted from the codex’s cover!
It was not an offensive Flame.
The Flame was incredibly pure, as if it were the very embodiment of life and the will to protect.
The codex was burning.
With Master Frank’s Magic Power, and even his Life Force, as fuel!
"Holy Word Guardian!"
Master Frank’s voice was calm and firm.
VMMMM!
A hemispherical shield constructed of golden light instantly unfurled, enveloping him and Master Gregory behind him!
At almost the exact same time.
The pervasive deathly black mist slammed violently against the golden shield!
SZZZZZLE!
A piercing sound rang out.
It wasn’t a collision of energies.
It was Light and darkness, life and death—two completely opposing Laws—engaged in the most primal form of mutual annihilation!
But the black mist was like an endless tide, frantically battering the shield Master Frank maintained.
What was even more terrifying...
The black mist was also corroding the shield’s energy!
Master Frank’s Magic Power was draining away at a terrifying speed!
His hair lost its luster, taking on a faint ashen quality.
The light of the golden shield began to flicker violently.
The black mist was like a tide, each wave cresting higher than the last.
Finally.
BOOM!
The golden shield was completely crushed, exploding into a shower of light.
The endless deathly black mist, like a flood that had found an outlet, instantly and completely devoured Master Frank’s slender figure!
All that remained was a massive, black sphere of mist, constantly churning and writhing.
Not a single trace of light could be seen.
Not a single trace of life could be felt.
"Frank!"
Master Gregory let out a roar of grief and fury!
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot!
Endless sorrow and rage, like the most potent catalyst, poured into his nearly depleted sea of Magic Power!
He saw the few short, yet incredibly precious, seconds that Master Frank had bought for him.
’I can’t waste it!’
’I absolutely cannot waste it!’
Master Gregory converted this overwhelming grief and fury entirely into Power for his casting.
His withered hands slammed together before his chest!
Celestial Calamity Forbidden Spell: Elemental Cage!
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!
The entire swamp let out a groan, as if unable to bear the strain!
The earth was roaring!
The mud and deep water beneath the Hydra’s feet were suddenly thrown aside by an irresistible Giant Strength!
Countless enormous rock chains, glittering with a faint blue magical light, shot up from the depths of the earth like enraged Earth Dragons!
「At the same time.」
The moisture in the air and the water in the swamp instantly solidified, driven by an extreme amount of Magic Power!
Even thicker, deep blue chains of ice, formed from Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice, roared out alongside the rock chains!
Earth and water.
Rock and ice.
The powers of two Elements intertwined under Master Gregory’s Forbidden Spell!
They had only one target!
The Hydra’s nine giant heads, which had been momentarily stunned by the Elemental Giants’ self-destruction!
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
The sound of the chains tearing through the air merged into one!
In the few short seconds that Master Frank had bought with his life.
Before the Hydra could fully recover from the shock of the self-detonation.
Master Gregory’s Forbidden Spell was finally... complete!
The rock chains and ice chains, like living things, wrapped themselves with unerring precision around the Nine-headed Demon Serpent’s nine heads, coiling tighter and tighter, binding them firmly in place!
