Chapter 705 - The Will Avatar!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Lord God of Light was still an ultimate existence, comparable to Arcane Wizards. Even if it was just a portion of his will which had arrived, it was a significant power. Therefore, Merlin dared not act carelessly.
“Ice Seal!”
Merlin pointed and gusts of chilly air froze the surrounding space. The temperature dropped to an extreme. At the same time, Merlin’s body was enveloped in fierce winds. In one stride, he had crossed hundreds of meters, circling behind the Lord God of Light.
“Silencing Ray!”
Darkness Eye in Merlin’s palm shot out a blood-red beam of light while an enormous and eerie face unfolded behind him.
“Chi-chi-chi.”
As the chilly wind swept toward the Lord God of Light, it was blocked by a ray of holy light. As for Silencing Ray, it carried a destructive force with fearsome penetrating powers. It was fast as well. If one was caught off guard, even a formidable Great Legend would be injured.
However, now that it faced the avatar Lord God of Light’s will, the might of Silencing Ray was somewhat inadequate. It was not even able to break down the layer of holy light.
Seeing that it was ineffective, Merlin became even more cautious, and the Elemental fluctuations around his body grew more vigorous. That gigantic multi-colored Wizard Heart gradually materialized behind him as well.
When the Lord God of Light noticed the multi-colored Wizard heart behind Merlin, his eyes flashed with a strange look. It was likely because not even he had seen such a powerful Wizard Heart before.
“Boom.”
Boundless flames began to burn furiously, accompanied by a gale which swept toward the target. Merlin’s utilization of his Magic Power was only one of his moves. His Mind Power was mobilized as well.
Moreover, since he knew how powerful the Lord God of Light was, Merlin directly mobilized the Illusory World.
“Titus, the Lord God of Light’s will has arrived. If we don’t defeat his will, we’ll be in danger!”
Following that, the Illusory World was released with a bang. Instantly, the Lord God of Light sensed a unique force. That invisible Mind Power began to influence his will, attempting to entrap his will into the illusion.
Thereafter, flames and wind crashed into the Lord God of Light. This was practically Merlin’s greatest attack, combined with the Illusory World. Merlin found it hard to imagine any Legend who could withstand this.
“Ah… This isn’t good. Merlin, the Lord God of Light’s will is too tenacious. The Illusory World is nearly about to be torn apart by this will. Quickly withdraw the Illusory World!”
Titus’ voice was somewhat trembling. The Illusory World was still his foundation. Once it was shattered, he would vanish completely, with zero possibility of being “resurrected”.
Merlin withdrew the Illusory World just in time. To him, even if he had not broken through the realm of Hallucinating spells, the Illusory World was still of vital importance. In the future, if he were to break through, this would be immensely helpful for him to complete the Illusory World and save a lot of time.
Furthermore, Merlin understood from Titus’ words that the Illusory World mainly targeted Mind Power, consciousness, and so on. Currently, their opponent was a strand of will from the Lord God of Light. Even though it was just a portion of his will, hoping to trap it in an illusion was akin to trapping the Lord God of Light himself into an illusion. This was totally impossible.
Therefore, there was no further point in using the Illusory World.
After he retracted the Illusory World, Merlin’s multi-colored Wizard Heart immediately felt a bout of vibrations. The powerful tremors and unseen pressure from all directions made Merlin realize that this was the counterattack of the Lord God of Light’s will avatar.
“Boom.”
Indeed, the gale and flames up ahead were thoroughly smashed by a brutal beam of holy light. The Lord God of Light stood high up in thin air, just as if the actual god had arrived, filled with invisible, oppressive power.
“God’s Punishment!”
The Lord God of Light pointed at Merlin and a mighty beam of holy light sliced down. This was truly God’s Punishment because the Lord God of Light was a great god who had established a god organization.
“Power of Earth, protect!”
Merlin’s Wizard Heart shuddered violently again, following which Merlin swiftly kneeled on the ground. He rapidly unleashed his Earth-type spell. Although he had no way of mobilizing the full strength of the Glorious Land’s earth, activating the Earth power of this wide area was not a problem with Merlin’s present abilities.
Instantly, layers of sturdy walls appeared beside Merlin. Their strength was linked to the earth itself, and most Legends were unable to break them down.
“Boom.”
The holy light of God’s Punishment swung heavily into Merlin’s Earth-type spell. The entire ground seemed to shake because it was connected to the power of the earth but Merlin felt a splitting sensation.
“Crack.”
The Earth-type spell was forcibly torn apart. Even the Wizard Heart behind Merlin seemed to be shuddering, being slightly injured, and its glow became marginally dimmer.
“Retreat!”
Merlin used this time to hurriedly retreat. Finally, he had escaped this onslaught.
“Honored Legends, he’s definitely a match for Honored Legends!”
Merlin stood at a long distance away, and stared at the Lord God of Light’s will avatar. Although his opponent was merely a fragment of will, it was too powerful. It had simply used the strength that was not yet at the level of a middle rank god but to the extent where it was like a middle rank god.
A middle rank god was equivalent to a Great Honored Legend. There was an immense disparity between ordinary Legends and Honored Legends, which could not be overcome in a short time.
Merlin’s expression turned increasingly anxious whereas the Lord God of Light maintained a serene manner. The latter’s body gleamed with holy light that grew more majestic, and spoke in a booming voice, “Did you see that? The Glorious Land is also my home turf as well. Here, I have countless worshippers. The unceasing stream of their power of faith is my source of energy! This will fragment of mine can even stay here forever. Even if this body has decayed, there are still countless devout believers, willing to offer their bodies.”
As Merlin glared at the Lord God of Light who was pressing in step by step, he knew that the more time passed, the worse it was for him because strictly speaking, the Lord God of Light was not an outsider. He had countless believers here, and every sliver of faith would increase his strength.
Therefore, Merlin must end the fight quickly!
“Go!”
Not only did Merlin stood his ground but he also rushed toward the Lord God of Light, his body encircled in a raging fire. The entire space was rendered into a sea of fire.
“God’s Punishment!”
The Lord God of Light still wielded God’s Punishment but this time, it was not just one ray of holy light but ten beams which filled the air and blanketed the ground. This time, it was not likely for Merlin to escape.
This final attack must succeed. He must not fail because Merlin would be incapable of enduring the result of failure!
“I didn’t expect to use this so soon…”
Merlin retrieved an ordinary Spatial Ring, and stroked it gently. Thereafter, he took out a massive warship from the ring.
The glossy black hull of icy metal was enormous, just like a ruthless monster. It emanated a dangerous force. This empire-level warship of the Atlan civilization had been destroyed by the Origin Lord in the past war against the Spell Caster civilization. It had fallen in the Glorious Land.
Now, this damaged warship was controlled by Merlin through the Matrix, and restored completely with a colossal amount of elemental crystal stones. Only the main cannon of this empire-level warship would be able to deal with the Lord God of Light’s will avatar which was on par with an Honored Legend.
“What’s this? A warship? The Atlan civilization?”
The Lord God of Light’s expression shifted subtly. He was no stranger to the Atlan civilization. In regard to an earth-shattering war of the Spell Caster civilization, the Lord God of Light, as a god that was born in the Glorious Land, and recently banished by Spell Casters, would pay close attention.
In that war, the Atlan civilization had an entirely different power from the other foreign civilizations of the Void Zone, making a deep impression in the Lord God of Light’s mind.
It was a warship like this one before him which had slain innumerable Legends and Honored Legends of the Spell Casters. Even Lords might be defeated.
“Destruction Cannon!”
Merlin instantly commanded the Matrix. The empire-level warship’s main cannon swiftly locked onto the Lord God of Light’s will avatar. An intense sense of threat welled up within the Lord God of Light’s heart.
“Boom.”
Before the Lord God of Light could make any defensive moves, a beam of dazzling light burst out from the warship. In the blink of an eye, the space which the light beam had passed through was thoroughly shattered, and everything was completely annihilated.
“No… Light Guard!”
The Lord God of Light could only use his full strength, forcing holy light to converge before him as a protective layer. Nonetheless, the light beam was too fast that the Lord God of Light had no way to react in time.
“Rip.”
There was no earth-shattering bang. This empire-level warship of the Atlan civilization, more than three thousand years later, erupted once again with unparalleled power. One blast was enough to pierce through the Lord God of Light’s holy light. In addition, the remaining force had shot a hole clean through the Lord God of Light’s body.
The Lord God of Light looked down and stared at the gaping, bloody hole in his chest. He did not seem to feel much pain but this was simply a temporary vessel after all. This bit of harm might be nothing much to the Lord God of Light but if he had lost his human vessel now, his will would evaporate too.
“I was careless…”
The Lord God of Light let out a long sigh. It was supposed to be a cinch, and even his will had been sent forth but he had never thought that, in the outdated Glorious Land, there was still a force which could hurt him.
Who would have thought that a Spell Caster would exploit the power of a warship from the Atlan civilization, the mortal enemy of the Spell Caster civilization?
“I’ll remember your force…”
“Boom.”
As soon as those words were uttered, the Lord God of Light’s body began to collapse. The energy of the Destruction Cannon contained within him exploded suddenly, following which the body was annihilated. Merlin could also feel that the fearsome will belonging to the Lord God of Light had disappeared as well.
In this round, Merlin had defeated the Lord God of Light’s will avatar!
