Chapter 243: Arcane Giant Avatar

Long Yi, Zhang San, and Li Si remained still, not making any reckless moves. A dazzling pillar of light erupted from the center of Tien City, shooting straight into the sky. In an instant, the entire sky above Tien City became densely covered with dark clouds, accompanied by thunder and lightning, resembling a scene from the apocalypse.

The beam of light, directly piercing the sky from Tien City, lasted for fifteen seconds. During this process, an astonishing amount of magical energy was transported into the sky, ultimately forming a massive vortex composed entirely of magical energy over the city.

The diameter of the vortex was at least 500 meters, containing more energy than a typical S-class spell. As it rotated, it generated numerous lightning bolts, making it nearly impossible to look directly at.

"This is too terrifying!" exclaimed the commander of the Blood Lion Knight Order. He was a Level 6 powerhouse, possessing the strength equivalent to a Level 6 overlord. However, when faced with this power, he felt small, as if he could be crushed at any moment.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Is this the power of a Mage King? Is this the magic of the most renowned mage in the empire over the past three centuries? The overwhelming force, the majestic aura, and this energy seemed beyond imagination. The commander of the knight order, felt a sense of insignificance that he had never experienced before. Not only the Blood Lion Order Knight Commander but also the Thunderous Society Heroes displayed shocked expressions. They had never witnessed their president going all out. Now, they finally realized the immense strength of their society's president.

In the next moment, the vortex shrank and concentrated. After compressing the energy to its limit, it ultimately transformed into a massive pillar of light that descended to the ground. With a resounding boom, the exploding shockwave instantly created a meteorite crater-like large hole. In the center of this enormous crater squatted a giant, standing up slowly. Its muscles were pronounced, resembling a solid entity, yet radiating brilliance throughout its entire body.

An unparalleled aura, like a terrifying storm, emanated from the giant's body, instantly covering a radius of dozens of miles, as if a god had descended.

"This is..." Long Yi showed a look of astonishment.

Li Si said in a deep voice, "It's an Arcane Avatar! This is a highly advanced summoning magic, using the caster's spirit as the core and powerful magical energy to form the body. It possesses terrifying destructive power."

The hundred-meter giant was an Arcane Puppet. While many magic users could summon Arcane Puppets or Arcane Avatars, what Luo Zheng used was evidently an S-class skill. The special aspect of this skill laid in summoning not an ordinary Arcane Puppet but an actual incarnation. Although Luo Zheng's magical power was formidable, his physical body was aging rapidly and could not endure excessive strain. Therefore, he utilized his entire magical power to create an Arcane Avatar, connecting his spiritual soul directly to it and employing this endlessly powerful incarnation for battle.

Luo Zheng was already a Level 6 monarch-class Hero. The Arcane Avatar summoned by his magical power undoubtedly reached the strength of a Level 6 monarch. Moreover, Luo Zheng had strategically positioned twenty powerful disciples around him in advance, and the grand magic formation further enhanced his spells.

Hence, it could be stated that the strength of this Arcane Giant approached the ceiling of a Level 6 monarch. Even in his prime, Duke Bachor would find it challenging to defeat this Arcane Giant in a one-on-one scenario. The only viable strategy was to avoid a direct confrontation, bypass the Arcane Giant, and directly attack Luo Zheng's original body to disrupt his spellcasting. However, Tien City was protected by a city defense barrier, the Blood Lion Knight Order and Thunderous Society Heroes were vigilant, and breaking into the city immediately would be no easy task, despite the formidable strength of the forces from the Darkness City.

"Hahaha! Come, Darkness Three Dragons! This is the empire's strongest magical might!" The Arcane Giant Luo Zheng let out a laugh more thunderous than an actual thunderstorm. "Dying by my hands will be the greatest honor of your lives!"

The imminent battle was about to unfold!

"Dark Domain!"

"Earth Domain!"

"Sacrificial Domain!"

The Darkness Three Dragons initiated their respective domains in an attempt to gain control over the battlefield. Simultaneously, the Arcane Giant also unleashed its own domain. The four domains were divided into two factions, clashing against each other. Unexpectedly, they canceled each other out, and none could establish dominance.

"What?!" Li Four's expression changed dramatically.

Back when the Darkness Three Dragons faced Duke Bachor, their two dragon domains could almost match Duke Bachor's, and the third domain could easily overshadow his. However, at this moment, when they joined forces, they could only reluctantly maintain a balance. The strength of a monarch's domain is directly proportional to their power. This indicated that the Arcane Giant Luo Zheng had slightly more strength than Duke Bachor had at the time. The victory against Duke Bachor was heavily dependent on geographical advantage.

And yet, in the current situation, even the Sacrificial Domain was being suppressed. Li Si's support abilities were directly cut in half. Facing an Arcane Giant stronger than Duke Bachor, it was almost impossible to win.Nonetheless, there was no sign of faltering. The Darkness Three Dragons remained unwaveringly devoted to the Demon King, embodying a spirit that was untamed and unafraid of death.

Among them, Zhang San displayed the most audacity and recklessness. Leveraging his formidable defense, he maintained the form of an Earth Drake and led the charge, declaring, "Let's see what you're truly capable of!" The speed was astonishing, akin to a golden flash that instantaneously reached the front of the Arcane Giant. Zhang San, aware of the significant level difference, understood that the opponent's magically constructed body could diminish magical damage. Furthermore, Zhang San, renowned as the strongest Earth Drake for defense among his kin, was confident.

"This Elven King, along with the force supporting her, is likely the true mastermind. The Demon King and the Darkness City are just distractions!"

"This Elven King and her backers are the real puppeteers. The Demon King and the Darkness City are just fronts!"

The Arcane Giant, Halyfax, gritted his teeth. "Are you also a Level 6 monarch?!"

"Truly unexpected. You've concealed yourself so well! The Chaos Forest actually gave birth to such a powerful Elven King!"

"Even if you possess power comparable to mine, you can't possibly defeat me. I not only have the amplifying power of ancient magic formations, but I also have the assistance of numerous disciples. I'm not fighting alone! You are destined to have no chance of winning!"

Nancilia snorted. "Hmph! Don't speak of victory too soon!"

With a simple wave of her hand: "Forest of Burial!" Countless roots flowed out like a river from beneath her feet. The Arcane Giant was submerged in an instant, wrapped in layer upon layer. His energy was rapidly being drained, and he was swiftly growing weaker.

"You think you can stop me with these petty tricks? Foolishness, Elven King. Foolishness!" Roaring madly, Halyfax unleashed his energy. The restraints around him were torn apart one after another. Breaking free from endless binds, he wielded two giant spears in each hand, adopting a hysterical stance, as if he intended to perish together with the Elven King.

However, at this moment, Halyfax was stunned. Taking advantage of the time he was freeing himself, the Elven King activated the Elemental Covenant five times in quick succession. These were the Elemental Kings of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning---each a lesser rank of Level 6 monarch. Though considered the weakest of Level 6 monarchs, they were not to be underestimated, and their actual strength was formidable.

Halyfax, the Arcane Giant, showed a horrified expression. "This is impossible... How can you summon and control five monarch-level entities!"

Nancilia retorted, "What does this amount to? You, a frog at the bottom of the well, have no idea what true power is. You delude yourself into thinking you possess the ultimate magical ability!"

Enraged, Halyfax exclaimed, "You dare to insult me!" Firing two arcane spears, the Arcane Giant conjured endless energy with his hands, unleashing a river-like torrent that gathered into an enormous energy sphere within his embrace.

Was this an attempt to decisively win? Coincidentally, the Elven King had the same idea! Nancilia raised her Elven King's Scepter, and the five Elemental Kings transformed into five powerful energy storms, all converging at the tip of the Elven King's Scepter, compressed into a dense energy sphere that distorted the space around it.

"Shit!" Halyfax's face changed drastically. He had not anticipated the Elven King's extraordinary tactics. This was a full-force attack, depleting the entire strength of all five Elemental Kings.

"Elemental Fusion!" Nancilia released the energy accumulated in her staff. The Arcane Giant also unleashed a supercharged wave of arcane energy. In the moment of collision in midair, the arcane energy immediately dissipated and crumbled, and this force hit the Arcane Giant directly in the heart.

"!"

An Arcane Giant known for being impervious to physical attacks was unexpectedly pierced through and bored a massive hole. Learning from her previous encounter with Yan Qianjun, Nancilia immediately delivered a more thorough follow-up attack. The power of the five elemental forces erupted simultaneously, causing the Arcane Giant's body to quickly develop numerous spider web-like cracks.

It was not that the Arcane Giant was weak, but rather, the Elven King was overwhelmingly powerful. This Elemental Fusion move was not something the Arcane Giant, or even formidable figures like Zhang Nu, could withstand if directly hit. Its potency was even capable of injuring mythic-level individuals, solidifying it as Nancilia's most potent single-target attack.

"No, no, no!"

"It can't be!"

"I can't possibly lose!"

Roaring in madness, Halyfax refused to accept the inevitable. However, regardless of how difficult it was to comprehend, the Arcane Giant eventually collapsed and exploded.

Nancilia breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with this Arcane Giant was challenging, especially in the midst of a large-scale confrontation between two armies. She had to find a way to end it swiftly. Little did she expect that a single strike would be enough. The Arcane Giant was an incarnation of Halyfax. Though a mere manifestation, it required entrusting one's spirit and soul. Once forcibly destroyed before withdrawal, the caster would suffer intense backlash. If her deduction was correct, Halyfax at this moment must be severely weakened and enduring unbearable pain. From this day forward, Nancilia, the Elven King, rose to fame, becoming renowned throughout the land!"
