Chapter 93: Magic Impact

The System’s voice echoed incessantly in Zhai Guangyi’s mind. Countless streams of Spiritual Power flowed toward his True Body, and Souls were continuously absorbed by the System. However, Zhai Guangyi paid no attention to this, nor did he have the chance to check how many Souls he had absorbed, because the problem before him was extremely pressing.

Although the human experts were being suppressed by the firepower of the high-ranking Spirits he had summoned and were constantly attacked by Xiong Da’s controlled humans, four Level 60 individuals remained almost unscathed.

These four possessed exceptional combat experience. Two Shield Warriors wielding massive shields blocked most of the damage for the Swordsmen behind them. Even surrounded by a large number of humans, they remained composed and at ease. The two Swordsmen behind them also displayed remarkable explosive power, cutting down many humans controlled by Xiong Da. Behind these four stood Mages dressed in priestly robes, jointly resisting Zhai Guangyi’s assault.

Initially, they had somewhat underestimated Zhai Guangyi as an Elf, but after witnessing him bludgeon a Level 50 Swordsman to death with a single strike, none dared to take him lightly. They all distanced themselves from him. However, Zhai Guangyi was a Mage—distance meant little to him. The only issue was that he couldn’t immediately break through the defense of the two Shield Warriors, leading to a temporary stalemate between both sides.

Seta had prepared thoroughly this time. All the human experts in the city had gathered in this banquet hall, along with Aristocrats from other cities who brought their own guards—many of whom were above Level 50. They had now joined forces to resist Xiong Da’s army of Submission followers.

Though called an army, it wasn’t particularly large. However, all humans below Level 40 had become Xiong Da’s subordinates, obeying his commands without a trace of resistance. Yet, controlling so many people simultaneously seemed to have pushed Xiong Da to his limit, and it was unclear how much longer he could hold on.

The size of the banquet hall remained a problem—too many people caused congestion and hindered movement. Moreover, the human experts had already killed a significant portion of Xiong Da’s followers. After all, the Level gap was evident. If they couldn’t hold off all these humans here, even if Xiong Batian managed to kill Seta, she would face immense difficulty against a group of Level 50 to 60 humans.

Zhai Guangyi flew toward the Level 60 Shield Warrior, raised his staff, and struck down with all his might. At the same time, he enveloped the staff with powerful Magic Power using Spirit Magic. This Magic Power not only reinforced the staff’s hardness but also doubled the impact effect, akin to magical enchantments in games that dealt both physical and magical damage.

The Shield Warrior reacted swiftly. A cyan glow shimmered across the shield’s surface. When Zhai Guangyi’s Flying Staff struck the shield, the resulting impact sent Zhai Guangyi flying backward, yet the shield remained smooth and pristine.

This wasn’t because the shield was some high-tier equipment—it was merely Blue Quality. Rather, the human wielding it possessed defensive Skills. A human’s profession indicated their Skill specialization. The Church provided exclusive Skill Legacies, allowing them to learn specific rare Skills using Skill Points—a technology developed through years of human research.

If this stalemate continued, the humans controlled by Xiong Da would be completely wiped out. Zhai Guangyi struck two swordsmen trying to dodge the fireballs from the Fire Spirit directly with his staff. Under Zhai Guangyi’s terrifying strength, human flesh could hardly withstand a single blow—as long as he seized the opportunity, it was almost always a one-hit kill.

Although fighting these humans up close was far more efficient than landing magic hits, the speed was still too slow. Moreover, it couldn’t break through the coordination of the four Level 60 quasi-Demigods. These controlled humans would eventually be worn down.

He had to use more powerful magic; otherwise, he couldn’t resolve these humans in a short time.

Zhai Guangyi hadn’t systematically studied the Legacy brought by Level 7 Spirit Magic, and many Magic Circuits were still incomprehensible to him, so he naturally couldn’t use them. However, Zhai Guangyi had previously used a golden beam that compressed and gathered Magic Power before releasing it all at once, which dealt astonishing damage and should be able to break through their defenses.

Previously, it was just a simple, unconscious gathering of Magic Power, but now it was different. Level 7 Spirit Magic would grant Zhai Guangyi a more efficient Magic Power conversion ability. This golden light actually followed the same principle as an explosion: an explosion occurs when combustible material burns rapidly in a confined space, gathering a large amount of heat in a short time, causing the gas volume to expand rapidly and triggering an explosion.

The golden light from gathering Magic Power was the same. By continuously compressing his own Magic Power, confining it to an extremely narrow space, and allowing Magic Power to collide with Magic Power, terrifying energy was generated. Releasing it all at once, like the terrifying impact force of an explosion, would vaporize anything in front of him in one go.

The shockwave of Magic Power was more stable than an explosion produced by combustion. The collision range of Magic Power was smaller, but the energy generated was even greater. However, due to the controllability of Magic Power, its direction was also locked and wouldn’t scatter.

Zhai Guangyi quickly retreated to Xiong Da’s position, raised his Flying Staff, and began gathering Magic Power toward the two Level 60 Shield Warriors.

Magic Power flowed through Zhai Guangyi’s hands to the front of the staff. In truth, this staff didn’t provide any bonuses; it was just that Zhai Guangyi felt this appearance made him more resemble a Mage of this World.

A terrifying ball of Magic Power appeared at the tip of the staff. Through continuous gathering and compression, the air around Zhai Guangyi seemed to be stirred, as if a dragging force was pulling everything around toward the light sphere.

Rainwater and dust near the light sphere were evaporated and annihilated by the powerful Magic Power, disappearing without a trace. Yet, that terrifying vortex of Magic Power continued to expand.

Xiong Da looked at the light sphere nearby; it seemed capable of devouring one’s Soul, making the Soul deep within his body feel fear. Xiong Da didn’t know what this guy was trying to do—was he trying to handcraft a nuclear bomb? Such a terrifying amount of Magic Power—how much Magic Power would this consume?

Xiong Da didn’t dare to look directly at the light sphere anymore. The Magic Power contained within was too high; just looking at it was shocking, as if his Soul would be dragged into it. It was truly terrifying. Moreover, wasn’t Zhai Guangyi someone who had just Transmigrated over a few days ago, with a Level only in the teens? How could he use such terrifying Magic? Was this his Special Skill?

At this moment, the powerful figures on the human side also noticed the light sphere forming in front of Zhai Guangyi’s staff, and a sense of foreboding washed over them.

The Church’s Mage took out a defensive tool—a one-time-use barrier. To ensure absolute safety, he threw out all the defensive tools he carried and activated them all. Ahead of them were two Half-Step Demigod Shield Warriors, and there were also several Mages present. This barrier should still be quite secure. As long as they could hold out until Rui Jielude dealt with that Demon Human, their opportunity would come.
