The Strongest Magician of Gods

Chapter 56: The Power of the Sacred Artifact

A wave of fire swept across the foundation as Mo Bei unleashed a mid-level magic, the Flame Blade, whose power was so great that it interrupted the two's combo.

"What exactly happened?"

Peng Zu and Yu Bingbing woke up, looked at each other, their faces filled with fear and confusion.

"This is not the time to talk, let's go."

Luo Xiu snapped out of his daze, his expression grave. From the moment they stepped into the palace, they had been trapped. They were high-level mages, and practically no one in Austin City could rival them.

But tonight they stumbled. A single illusion left the four of them helpless. Fortunately, Mo Bei woke up, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable.

“I suspect that the environment here was created by a great mage. Our identities have been exposed, and we can’t stay here any longer,” Luo Xiu said urgently.

After a fierce battle, the illusion's power was broken, and many novice mages awoke from their own desires.

"Where are we? What is this place?" A group of novice mages were terrified.

"Hmph, welcome to the embrace of death."

A man dressed in a skull-patterned magic robe coldly stared at the crowd from within the space.

"what is that?"

At this moment, Mo Bei scanned the space with a wary expression.

Suddenly he looked up at the blood pool above him, where a huge magic staff lay horizontally in mid-air, its claws outstretched.

The magic wand was jet black, exuding a terrifying aura that made anyone who saw it feel dizzy and mesmerized.

A gasp of surprise rang out, and Mo Bei exclaimed in surprise.

“Holy…Holy…Holy Artifact”

Luo Xiu was so frightened that he slurred his words.

A sacred artifact is a weapon that only a great mage can create; its destructive power is beyond the imagination of mortals.

The presence of sacred artifacts here indicates the presence of a powerful mage of at least the rank of Grand Mage in the vicinity, and most likely one of the most terrifying figures among the Grand Mages.

The creation of sacred artifacts is not something that ordinary great mages can do. Even after mages advance to the level of great mages, there are still many subtle differences. The great mages who create sacred artifacts are all the most terrifying and peerless experts among those great powers.

The fact that the magic wand appearing before them was made by an elementalist made them even more terrifying. A great figure among the elementalists had descended upon Austin City. This information was enough for them to report.

"Boom"

The space trembled, the nurturing of the blood pool was unexpectedly interrupted, and a surge of powerful magic rippled with terrifying brilliance from the black magic wand above the blood pool.

"Hurry up!"

In that instant, Peng Zu was terrified. When he saw the strange phenomenon manifested by the magic wand, his body trembled uncontrollably.

With a deafening roar, a massive bolt of lightning erupted from the magic staff. The immense and terrifying power of the lightning stirred the sky, causing it to flash with lightning.

"Click"

The earth cracked, and a tiny bolt of lightning, barely the thickness of a finger, fell from the magic wand, causing a terrifying earthquake.

"Wow!"

Mo Bei and his companions quickly channeled their magic and used flight techniques to escape.

"what"

Terrifying lightning power overflowed, manifesting its energy. More than a dozen mages were vaporized into blood mist and dissipated. The thick blood mist was absorbed by the magic staff in an instant.

When the other novice mages witnessed this scene, they trembled and fled in panic.

"I don't want to die here!" some mages roared in low voices.

"Stay here! With the activation of the sacred artifact, the Lord will arrive soon, and you will not escape his grasp."

A woman dressed in a skull-patterned magic robe approached with a cold laugh, her evil eyes revealing endless crimson.

Mo Bei and his companions fled in panic. On the horizon, the thunder roared and a deafening boom pierced the sky.

Before they knew it, an endless storm arose, and torrential rain poured down from the sky.

That was terrifying. The magic wand's sudden movement caused the earth to tremble, and even the heavens and earth displayed strange phenomena.

"Swish swish swish"

The four of them quickly fled.

“So cold”

Mo Bei shivered, his body tensing up. He hadn't felt it during the battle, but now that he relaxed, a chill ran through his body, and he finally realized something was wrong.

"what happened?"

Mo Bei's lips turned pale, and as he ran, his chest grew increasingly cold—a cold that seeped into his very bones.

"Wow"

He pulled open his shirt and stared in horror at the cool runes on his chest. He reached out and gently touched them, and the coolness seeped into his entire body through his fingers.

The black runes were so eerie that they seemed to come from the underworld.

"It's what makes my body so cold. What kind of power does this rune possess?"

Mo Bei was surprised, but he watched as a mist gradually filled the oppressive space.

"Let's escape first."

Mo Bei snapped out of his daze, his body disappearing through the dense forest. The four of them huddled together and quickly fled towards Austin.

Looking back at the magnificent palace, they realized there was no palace at all, only a desolate wasteland. Only then did they understand how powerful the illusion was; a mere glance from afar was enough to fall under its spell.

"Escape...do you think you can escape?"

The space was dark and dim, and blood-red figures climbed out of the blood pool, their eyes revealing a bloodthirsty crimson.

Those figures were actually corpses floating in the blood pool. Clearly, their life force had been extinguished, yet they still managed to climb up, their magical power corrupted by the power of the blood pool.

The endless figures, using their lightness techniques, drifted in, and soon these blood-red figures filled the dark forest.

"Wow"

A group of blood-red figures waved magic wands, unleashing streams of power tainted by blood.

"rumble"

The foundation was engulfed by a group of spells, and Mo Bei and his companions awkwardly used their flight spells to jump out of the attack zone.

"Swish"

Mo Bei channeled his magic power, flicked his magic wand, and unleashed a refined fireball spell.

"boom"

Blood splattered as a jet-black fireball slammed into the bodies of the mages, leaving a gaping hole. However, no blood flowed from the hole; instead, a patch of white flesh came into view.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Mo Bei stood on the ground, and he hurled fireballs the size of fingernails, which pierced into the bodies of those mages.

Those blood-red mages, hovering in mid-air, staggered and swayed for a moment before quickly regaining their balance.

"It's no use. They're already under a curse; they're just empty shells."

During the great battle, Luo Xiu used his flight technique to float calmly beside Mo Bei.

At the same time, Peng Zu and Bingbing watched as Mo Beiluo Xiu was gradually surrounded by an endless array of blood-red mages, their eyes trembled, and they panicked for a moment.

"They can't be saved. They're most likely not going to survive. Let's go."

Peng Zu, looking terrified, scrambled to grab Yu Bingbing's hand and used his flying technique to escape the encirclement. Yu Bingbing turned around, struggled for a moment, and then quickly gave up resisting.

"Hahaha, now it's just the two of you left. Let's see how you escape."

In the darkness, a figure clad in black drifted out of the forest, surrounded by a dense swarm of crimson mages.

“Killing you all will prevent their escape; eliminating them one by one is just a waste of time.”

As the man arrived, a dense crowd of figures gradually surrounded him.

"Iceman"

At this moment, Luo Xiu pointed his magic wand, and a gleam appeared on his serious face.

"Splash!"

As Luo Xiu spoke, a layer of ice about an inch thick formed on the ground.

He grabbed Mo Bei's body and suddenly activated his magic power, and the two of them glided on the ice, gliding out of the encirclement.

"amazing."

With a slight movement of his hand, a surge of magical energy emanated from the magic wand. Countless mages turned around, their bloodthirsty eyes gleaming with greed.

"Too many people is a disadvantage. Although they were novice mages before, their physique and magic have been greatly enhanced after being tainted by blood. A tough battle is hard to avoid."

Luo Xiu calmly analyzed the situation. He felt a sense of displeasure when Peng Zu and Bingbing left, but he still understood their choice, after all, this place was too dangerous.

"A tough battle, I'm not so sure."

Mo Bei stepped onto the ice, a slight smile on his face.

"Hoo"

A surge of magic flowed through his body, and he swung his magic wand sharply.

One after another, intense fireballs sprang from the magic wand.

"Bang bang bang bang"

The fireball was too fast; it struck a magician's body in less than an instant.

"It's no use. Their bodies can no longer feel pain. It's unlikely that your fireball spell will kill them."

The man snorted coldly, and with a flick of his magic wand, countless magicians appeared before him.

"Is that so? I don't think so."

Mo Bei slid backwards on the ice, and fireballs burst into the bodies of those mages and disappeared.

"Oh, let's see how long you can keep up this stubbornness." The man said impatiently.

"rumble"

Suddenly, the bodies of the mages fell from mid-air, and no matter how he tried to control them, he could not make them stand up again.

"What happened?"

The puppets suddenly went out of control, which terrified the man. Then, one by one, corpses fell from the sky, accompanied by scorching black flames. Only then did he realize the truth.

"It's that fireball spell; we can't give him a chance."

The man was shocked and enraged. He pointed his magic wand, and hundreds of magicians rushed down.

"rumble"

Mo Bei's expression turned serious as so many mages charged down together.

"Whoosh"

Luo Xiu stepped out, his long, flowing hair dancing in the wind. He channeled his magic power, and his magic wand swept across the air.

"I'll buy you some time; the rest is up to you."

Luo Xiu smiled brightly, and a sense of trust began to grow between them.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of them as soon as possible."

Mo Bei smiled. It felt like she had suddenly found a companion she could rely on after being alone all along.
