Chapter 510 Blitz: Reversal (2)

Name:Legacy of the Dark Sage Author:
[Void Halfling, get back!]

True Void's warning suddenly rang out in Kyran's mind.

Kyran did not need the warning, though. The moment he sensed something was wrong, he used the dragon step to move more than five meters away from Vera. This distance was far enough to retreat or attack, depending on the situation.

A blinding red light enveloped Vera's body illuminating the darkness. Her body also levitated as if two huge invisible hands had lifted her off the ground.

The space around Vera distorted, and Kyran felt a familiar presence on her.

'Ruin's aura!' Kyran's eyes narrowed. Could it be that the veil around her was Ruin's doing? If yes, then why?

No. It was not really hard to guess what was happening. Ruin was probably interested in Vera's magic. Instinctively, Kyran even felt that Ruin was interested because of her magic's similar trait to his magic's 'warp' ability.

Ruin's obsession with Kyran was downright creepy.

In any case, Kyran would not let Ruin take Vera. His eyes darkened as he roused his Void magic. Since the veil on Vera was from Ruin, Kyran did not need to be cautious because Ruin was aware of his appearance.

A dark purple Void rune appeared on Vera's forehead; in an instant, the blinding light covering her body collapsed.

Kyran initially planned to kill Vera. But now that he knew Ruin had taken an interest in her, he wondered if he could use her. With this in mind, the Void rune he placed on her was his original one, the magic energy isolation rune he once used on Tritus. This way, any external magic energy would be removed from Vera's body.

[O-Oi Void Halfling, you're not thinking of taking her in as—!]

Before True Void could complete his sentence, two silver rings appeared beneath Vera; at the same time, Kyran's eyes glowed.

Soon, two overlapping dragons appeared on the two rings and circled Vera's body.

True Void was speechless. He watched in silence as Kyran turned the dying Vera into a Sigil.

Because Vera was already half dead, she did not experience the pain of being turned into a Sigil. When the ritual was completed, Kyran waved his hand and brought her into the Void World.

Meanwhile, a few hundred kilometers away, Ruin's brow furrowed as he sensed one of his newfound toys' connections disappear. Normally, it would not bother him much. After all, these new toys only had low mage levels and a lowly human. However, this particular toy was special. Apart from her possessing somewhat similar magic to his prey, she also seemed to bore deep hatred for his prey, and Ruin planned to use it when nurturing her.

Teaching a vengeful woman was exciting, in Ruin's opinion. She was willing to do anything, even sell her soul to the devil to grow stronger and achieve her goal.

"Don't look away, dumbass."

A deep hoarse voice broke Ruin's mulling as the enormous black with gold and silver accent golem's hand appeared above him.

BOOM!

The golem's hand smashed the ground, resulting in a powerful tremor that spanned almost two hundred meters. A huge crater in the shape of the golem's hand was left on the ground as it lifted its hand.

Ruin appeared in midair, a few meters away from the golem. He spread his arms, and a huge black Alkonost, a legendary bird with a head of a beautiful woman and a bird, appeared behind him.

The Alkonost opened its mouth, and a beautiful sound escaped from it. Black mist formed around a two-hundred-meter diameter from it, which also covered the golem and the man in a dark cloak.

In an instant, the whole surrounding was shrouded in deep darkness.

Nolan's eyes narrowed as he spread his magic sense.

Ruin had started to summon more powerful legendary scourge beasts, and all of them seemed to retain their original magic and had their own magic energy supply. It felt as if Nolan was fighting several high-level mages at the same time!

Any mage faced with someone like Ruin would have felt despair right about now. Ruin was already a handful. To also deal with his scourge beasts that had their own magic energy supply and different magic abilities that would break any mage's will. Even if that mage had the same mage level as Nolan, it would not be easy when faced with several high-level beasts.

Sages are not omnipotent, after all.

However, Nolan was no ordinary mage. He would not cower when faced with a huge disadvantage. Besides, he possessed a powerful innate ability. He rarely used it, not because it placed a huge toll on his body but because he never had the chance to put it to good use.

Today, Nolan finally had a chance.

'You want to exhaust my magic energy, huh? I'd like to see you try, f*cking prick,' Nolan thought as two runes appeared on his body. These runes looked like human stick figures with arms and legs spread apart. They emitted a faint light blue light in the middle of the darkness created by the Alkonost.

In an instant, the magic energies in the surroundings were attracted to these runes and increased in size. Soon, they turned into a light blue, glowing human-shaped torch.

The two rushed out while rousing the magic energies in the surrounding. The magic energies turned into a faint blue translucent armor that covered the two human-shaped torches.

A beautiful sound filled the darkness, and an invisible shockwave attacked the two armored human-shaped torches. However, the latter two did not budge as they flew in the direction where the shockwave came from.

One of the armored human-shaped torches raised its hand, and concentrated magic energy slowly formed above it. While the other continued to fly forward, its body turning into a blinding blue light that sped through the darkness at an astonishing speed.

Ruin was not idle as the two armored human-shaped torches appeared. He had already summoned several scourge harpies, another legendary beast with half-human and half-bird bodies. They flew together and went after the approaching armored human-shaped torch.

Nolan sneered as he sensed Ruin summoned another group of scourge beasts.

When the scourge harpies were about to collide with the armored human-shaped torch, the latter stopped and expanded.

Ruin's eyes widened, and he immediately ordered the Alkonost to protect him.

BOOM!

The huge explosion drowned the scourge harpies' miserable shrieks. But the explosion did not break out. Instead, the other armored human-shaped torch raised its hand and absorbed the explosion, its body increasing in size. Then it opened its mouth, and a condensed magic energy beam blasted toward Ruin's direction, where the Alkonost already had its huge black wings covering Ruin.

BOOM!

Another massive explosion rang out as the condensed magic energy broke the Alkonost's protective barrier.

The ground shook from the explosion's aftershock.

A few hundred kilometers away, Kyran turned his attention toward the direction of the Regis Estate. He felt a powerful tremor and guessed Nolan and Ruin did it. His expression turned grim, recalling how fragile the defensive array of the Inner Wall had looked.

If Nolan and Ruin kept unleashing powerful magic attacks, wouldn't the barrier collapse because of them?

[It doesn't look like those two are planning to hold back.]

True Void remarked, also sensing the tremor.

Kyran did not respond and focused his attention on Vera's dropped item. He immediately recognized the item.

It was a regular communication device— a common static communicator that could only send messages. Kyran knew the device because he was taught how to use it. Since he believed he did not have any magic, he could only use a regular communication device.

True Void looked at the device. With a slight frown, he voiced the question Kyran also thought of.

[Why is she using a regular communication device?]

Kyran shook his head in response and checked its content.

The device only had two messages, and both were saved in draft.

When Kyran read the first draft, it felt like a note.

It said: "Scout the premise and find Ruin. Relay the plan and rendezvous in point X."

The second message, Kyran guessed Vera was supposed to send just before he attacked, had said: "Met a mysterious person. MG Kairo and Ganza dead. On my way back. Being pursued. Need back up."

Kyran frowned slightly after reading the message. Clearly, the message was meant to be sent to someone in-charged of the army going to the estate.

By the looks of it, the army also had high-leveled mages if they actually sent mages like Kairo and Ganza as forerunners, and Vera requested backup to deal with him.

Kyran put the thought aside and looked at another item he had taken from Vera; space storage.

It was simple to crack a storage space's seal, especially after its owner's death. A mage only had to infuse his or her magic energy in it to overwrite the previous owner's signature. However, it was a little different if the owner was still alive.
