164 Chapter 164
“But this is interesting don’t you think? Not only does he have that ridiculous number of mystic gems. I don’t even know how he healed his shoulder that fast” Space Breaker replied
Tens of meters away from Rezen, two people could be seen staring at him in interest. One was a woman and the other was a man both of which are mages at the 5th fusion rank
“Interesting? More like troublesome” Blood Immortal retorted as he focused on his spell of controlling the blood on Rezen’s body
Rezen stared at the enemies that showed themselves at him. Seeing that there were two of them, he was actually quite glad
The rules state that every contestant could only obtain points by defeating another contestant once
As long as they don’t earn the points yet, they could continue to attack a fellow contestant
Teaming up with each other is definitely a good thing to do as both parties would find it easier to earn a million points
If this was a battle that Rezen could only use his personal power without relying on any external help, there was no doubt that he would lose
Most of his strength comes from his Tattoo Warrior path which is at the 5th rank. But while that path offers greater power than an average mage, Space Breaker and Blood Immortal are not your average mages. Not to mention, there are two of them
Fortunately, this is still just the second part of the Tournament
Rezen retrieved a piece of red-colored lime from his void storage ring and forcefully consumed it despite how hard it was to move due to the disorder of his blood flow
As soon as he consumed that lime, his blood flow instantly stabilizes and no matter how Blood Immortal tries to affect his blood flow, the man was unsuccessful
The red-colored like was a mutated plant that Rezen has planted. Its use was merely for regulating blood flow and Rezen didn’t expect that there would really be a time that he has to use it
His decision of always taking various mutated plants including the ones he thinks are not useful to him in his void storage is really the right decision
With Blood Immortal losing the ability to control Rezen’s blood flow, the former’s fighting strength dropped by a huge margin
“It’s payback time, am I right?” Rezen said with a sneer as he stomped his feet on the ground
“[Great Eternal Forest!]”
Rezen used the same spell that Florine uses in the past. If there were no trees nearby, this spell would sprout trees that would attack on the mage’s behalf
However, if there are trees where the spell was activated, the spell wouldn’t grow more trees but control the already existing trees
The green magic circle covered a wide range and inside it were hundreds of trees
The ground trembled as if an earthquake appeared as the nearby trees uses their vines and roots to attack both Space Breaker and Blood Immortal
“Heh… his performance on the first round was the most eye-catching. But it seems like he is really a tough nut to crack. I kind of regret targeting him now”
A bitter smile formed on Space Breaker’s face as she casts her [Orbs of Annihilation]
Any roots or vines that made contact with her orbs would vanish as if they never appeared in the first place
“Just because someone is interesting doesn’t mean you have to specifically target them” Blood Immortal replied with a sigh as he casts his own spell
“[Blood Strings!]
Magic circles formed on his hands and the tip of his fingers sent out thin threads of blood that wrapped on the vines and roots
The threads acted like the sharpest axe in the world as they easily minced the vines and roots
“[Combination Magic: Burning Leaf Storm!]”
Rezen ignored the burden on his soul as he immediately cast another spell and a combination one at that
The leaves on the trees detached themselves automatically and they were set on fire
The world was suddenly filled with burning leaves, raising the surrounding temperature
A chunk of the island was disturbed by the ongoing battle. Fortunately, while the island is quite small but since there were only a hundred contestants, it’s not easy to meet each other
They are scattered and with the tournament’s rules, a mage could sense magic fluctuations in every direction
It was not only the area where Rezen and the others were fighting that was being ravaged
This is merely a common occurrence due to how destructive the spells in the 4th and 5th grades are
“Aish… these trees are really annoying” Space Breaker complained before clicking her fingers together
A large magic circle around a hundred meters in diameter suddenly formed in the sky as Space Breaker smiled
“[Blackout!]”
The magic circle engulfed the space below it in darkness. For a moment, a space of a hundred meters in diameter was completely submerged in darkness and no one could see what was happening inside
However, it only lasts for a short period of time. When the darkness dispersed, a horrifying scene was revealed
A circular space of a hundred meters in diameter was completely erased yet no loud sound was issued at all
Whether it be the trees, ground, or the Tentacle Spawns, all of them were completely erased. Not even a speck of them survived
Only a deep and extremely smooth crater remained. A chunk of the island’s ground vanished yet the crater was completely smooth
This crater would definitely scare everyone
While it was not impossible for mages to destroy an entire mountain much less form a crater, but to leave such a smooth trace was something that only spatial mages could do
It could be said that it was an extremely horrible fate to die at the hands of a spatial mage that focuses on offensive spells
There wouldn’t be anything left on your body in a literal sense
The only fortunate thing was that spatial spells also have their own limits
As such, despite all matter being erased, the three mages inside the spell’s range still survived
Aside from Space Breaker, the other two were in horrible condition though
A spatial spell could be broken but the power required was simply too great. Both Rezen and Blood Immortal were greatly exhausted by that spell and they even received some injuries
As for Space Breaker, she was a bit exhausted but she wasn’t injured like the others
“Why didn’t you just kill me? Who would use such a spell without any warning?” Blood Immortal complained while glaring at the woman smiling with a silly look on her face
“Hehehe… he might dodge if I warned you but it works. He’s exhausted and injured, this is our chance!”
Rezen wiped the blood at the side of his lips as he stared at his opposing contestants
At normal times, he might think that this situation was funny but that was only for the past Rezen
Right now, Rezen could only see these two as clowns trying to stop him from achieving his goal
With a single thought from him, a recovery pill appeared on his tongue and he swallowed it
The pill did its wonder as all the injuries and exhaustion of Rezen vanished as if they were never there in the first place
His recovery was simply rapid and could make people’s jaws drop on the ground
“No way!” Space Breaker exclaimed in surprise after seeing Rezen recover just like that
Even she used up a large chunk of her energy to cast her earlier spell. She definitely couldn’t cast the same spell several times in succession
Her being a spatial mage has always been her advantage. Even if she fights a mage at her level, it would be her opponent that would run out of juice first as breaking a spatial spell requires more energy than casting it
She had never encountered an enemy like Rezen!
“His recovery speed is even faster than mine” Blood Immortal seconded but after seeing Rezen making a move, they took out items from their void storage rings
“I got this pill from an auction and I didn’t expect that I would use it now” Space Breaker muttered while staring at the pill on her hand with bitterness
She can feel her heart aching as she swallowed the pill causing her power to rise temporarily albeit she would definitely suffer from side effects later
As for Blood Immortal, he took out a vial that has blood red liquid inside and drank it
His face instantly flushed and his body temperature rose. He can feel the blood in his body becoming livelier than before and even their production rate was faster
Using his own blood with his spell would definitely result in a greater power
“[Blood Strings]”
This time, the magic circle that Blood Immortal conjured was as large as his body. And this time, the blood strings not only appeared at his fingertips but throughout his whole body!
