Chapter 392 The Final Parchment
“[Intermediate Fire Magic Style: Blazing Vigor]!”
Whoosh!
“[Rage of the Nascent Wyvern]!”
“[Limit Break]!”
“[Offense Aura+]!”
Whoosh!
“[Shadow Serpent Style]⦔
“[Tide of the Dark Night]!”
After whittling down the demilich before him to about half of its health with magic, Valyr did not hesitate to land the killing blow, proceeding to increase his combat prowess through the combination of magic spells and usual buffing skills to ensure that his spear would be at its strongest state at the moment he landed it.
Swiftly forming a connection with Shadow Energy, the young man went ahead and swung his spear upward, causing a tyrannical wave of dark energy to appear before the demilich, instilling into the latter the feeling that it could not escape the attack that it would receive.
“Cease!” Of course, due to the fact that his opponent had a considerable level of sentience and felt that it would undoubtedly die if it allowed the attack to connect with it, the demilich dug deep into its power reserves to send out a flurry of attacks at its strongest state possible at the wave to dispel itβ¦
Only for all of it to be absorbed by the wave soon after.
“How could such a foolish being hold so much power within their small statureβ¦ I cannot accept this!” Seeing as all of its attacks had been absorbed by the wave of dark energy before it without any difficulty, a feeling of slight disbelief welled up within the demilich’s body, only for it to be replaced with great rage as he sent out yet another barrage of attacks towards the wave before him, all of which contained greater power than before.
Unfortunately, just like the previous barrage of attacks he had sent out to the wave, all of them were for naught as the wave absorbed all of it without any difficulty.
Determined that it would be able to escape, the demilich was about to send yet another wave of attacks, only to notice that only a small distance separated from it making contact with the wave. With that, the demilich proceeded to distance itself from the wave, teleporting a few meters to the left.
Whoosh!
Surprisingly, as if it had locked onto its target, the dark wave expanded to cover the demilich, even if the latter had teleported to escape its path. Gazing at how the wave before it had adapted to its current position, it was at that moment did the demilich finally feel a hint of despair, muttering out what seemed to be its final words as it was engulfed by the wave soon after.
“Is thisβ¦ the end?”
Whoosh!
‘-11,261’
As a five digit number appeared over the demilich’s head whilst the wave of Shadow Energy engulfed it, Valyr watched the demilich fall to the ground, only for him to feel a slight vibration emanating from his spatial bracelet. Raising his eyebrow in slight curiosity, the young man took a look at his bracelet to see what was causing the vibration, swiftly noticing that the large parchment seemed to be moving out and about within the confines of his bracelet.
Briefly wondering what was causing the large parchment to move in such a way, Valyr decided to remove the parchment from the bracelet for now, lest it destroyed any of the other things he had placed within the spatial bracelet aside from the Skill Keys.
Surprisingly, this move of his to ensure his items within the spatial bracelet were safe had caused the large parchment to stop moving, hovering just a few dozen centimeters away from Valyr, stabilizing its height to where the parchment met the young man’s eyes.
At the very moment the wave of dark energy disappeared from the vicinity of the room, the large parchment soon headed to where the demilich stood at its final moments, prompting Valyr to notice that the robe the demilich wore had not been destroyed by the dark wave at all. Curious as to why that was the case, the answer to his question was quickly obtained once the large parchment made its way to the robe, the runes on its surface glistening soon after.
Swoosh!π΅πͺππππ΅π¬xt.πππ
In response to the large parchment’s runes beginning to glow, faint lines on the surface of the robe began to give off the same color of light the runes on the large parchment gave off, only for it to congregate at a single point soon after as a tattered parchment filled to the brim with runes manifested slightly above the demilich’s robe after some time.
With his mouth slightly agape, Valyr watched as the tattered parchment gradually made its way to the large parchment, only for a great burst of light to appear at the very moment the two parchments combined, causing the young man to squint his eyes as he looked away from the light for a bit.
By the time he was able to return his sight to what was going on with the parchments, the tattered parchment had joined himself to the large parchment, the tattered parts of it gradually repairing itself to appear similar to the large parchment it had combined with.
Continuing to watch the three runic parchments interact with one another, Valyr watched as the rectangular edges of the parchment disappear, noticing that the slanted lines he had on the large parchment back then had indeed connected to a certain point on the third and final parchment, prompting the final parchment to be in the shape of a triangle once the extra pieces of parchment dissipated into thin air.
Moving a bit closer to get a better look at what the purpose of the magic circle on the parchment was, Valyr was forced to take a few steps back after the parchment decided to shrink all of a sudden, shrinking from a size that would allow the parchment to cover his upper torso and a bit more, to a size that would fit at the palm of his hand at most.
Seeing as the small triangular parchment had finished undergoing through its various transformations, the young man decided to get closer to it once more, inwardly letting out a sigh of relief as he proceeded to grab the triangular parchment whilst it was still hovering.
Finally able to get a better look at the complete magic circle on the parchment, Valyr went ahead and focused his attention on the magic circle, only for him to fall unconscious not long after as he fell to the ground with a thud.
