Chapter 794 Physical Power

Whooooooooosh.

The last runes in the book glowed brightly and disappeared as the magic circles stopped increasing. The total number of magic circles was over three hundred and most of them were illusions, but very powerful as they possessed a third of the power of the original.

"Hah, are you finally done?" Virion smirked in a confident way as though he had been ready to attack for some time.

"Yeah." Wain nodded slightly, closed the book, and swung his hand.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

At the same time, hundreds of magical circles began to spin, concentrating energy in the center to unleash their full power on Virion.

"You don't seem at all worried about what happens next, do you? Although, given how closely you've looked at each new magic circle, you probably already know which ones are the original." Wain muttered in an ice-cold voice, before clenching his hand into a fist.

Whoooooooosh.

Suddenly the magical circles were in motion, gradually speeding up and passing side by side like a single mechanism. They quickly formed a dome around Virion, so given that each magical circle looked indistinguishable from the real thing it was now almost impossible to tell the illusion from the real thing.

'Bastard... He could have done this all along, right?' Virion inwardly muttered as he clenched his teeth in anger, 'Shit! There were only eight attacks last time, but now there are forty fucking times as many! I'm definitely not getting out of this dome without serious wounds, looks like I'll have to use another rune.'

A few seconds before the magic circles were to activate a white symbol flew out of Virion's robe that turned into streams of energy when touched. Virion's aura became much weaker, as did his energy, but a faint transparent shell appeared around his palms.

'A second rune...? I wonder how many he has left?' Wain inwardly muttered as his eyes flashed, 'Well, I'll definitely find out soon enough.'

At the same time, hundreds of magic circles simultaneously attacked as a hail of energy beams rained down on Virion, following each other.

It was impossible to escape from the dome, so Virion had only two options, he had to either defend himself somehow or dodge all the attacks. However, Virion decided on a third way.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The first beam had already reached Virion as his pupils narrowed and he took a step back, but he wasn't going to dodge, it was necessary in order to create the right trajectory.

​ Virion swung his arm as the beam swept next to his palm. The shell around his hand trembled and suddenly an unknown force reversed the direction of the beam, throwing it sideways. The beam collapsed into several magical circles, destroying a small portion of the dome. Then, events began to accelerate rapidly.

Every second Virion reflected the beam with its energy as they destroyed more and more magic circles, damaging the dome.

The attacks were overwhelming, but until the very end, not a single beam could reach Virion. They all ended up extremely close to him but immediately flew away. His power just prevented the beams from approaching him.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

Virion deflected the last three beams, took a deep breath, and stared at Wain with a murderous aura.

They just stared at each other for a moment, as if the outcome of their battle depended on the last one to look away. Virion spent a lot of energy reflecting hundreds of energy beams as waves of hot steam emanated from his body, enveloping him.

"Impressive... Last time I only needed eight magic circles to wound you, but now even three hundred didn't leave a scratch on you..." Wain muttered with a dazed look while examining his opponent, "I wonder what power your Beyond has? It doesn't look like pure physical power."

"Hah, I'll answer you if you tell me how many powers you possess!" Virion exclaimed with an excited expression as he pointed at Wain.

Wain was silent for a while before he canceled the third form and said, "About seven, something like that. I can't reveal all my cards to you, it's not time yet."

"Sure. I understand." Virion smirked as he shrugged, "Well, actually my Beyond is pretty much pure physical power."

"Hmm? Are you so low that you don't keep your word? Do you think I'm dumb enough to believe that? You can't reflect magic without magic, those are the facts." Wain uttered in an eerie voice as his aura rose. Waves of energy came from him as his gaze became as deep as the depths of the abyss, giving Virion goosebumps all over his body.

'Damn... If this guy goes on a rampage, I could be in serious trouble. After all, he is the heir of the Nameless King, so he's not an easy adversary, is he?' Virion inwardly muttered before pointing his hand toward the ground.

They were both slightly exhausted, so they needed a little respite before continuing to fight from all their strength.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Several cracks appeared in the stone floor as suddenly it sank slightly beneath Virion's palm as if an enormous weight was pressing on it.

"You're right. Only other magic will usually do to repel magic. No matter how strong my body is I couldn't withstand that many attacks, but you forgot all about gravity." Virion smirked as he stared at Wain.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

At that moment, the small rocks next to Wain soared upward and crashed to the ground with great speed, shattering into fragments like meteorites hurtling toward a massive planet.

"Gravity and an incredible increase in physical capabilities... How interesting..." Wain muttered in an indifferent way as darkness appeared in his green eyes, "So magic is useless against you now, right?"

"Sure. You have nothing but your sword, but you can't beat me with that!" Virion exclaimed in a mocking manner before stepping forward and shaking the ground.

'I wouldn't be so sure of that.' A voice sounded in Wain's head.
