77: The Great Mage's Compromise

At this moment, Jiang Shan Yi’s expression had already changed drastically. He had noticed Olifo when he used the black bowl item. Just as he felt relieved, who would have thought that the Forbidden Spell would actually strike him? As the target of the Forbidden Spell, he had no time to think much and quickly chanted an obscure incantation.

“Space Forbidden Spell — Energy Great Transfer!”

The next second, a giant vortex with a diameter of over a hundred meters appeared in the sky.

Within the vortex, a colorful passage seemed to connect to another space.

Boom boom boom boom…

A large number of attacks were absorbed by the vortex, but many still landed on the Sky Soaring Celestial Deer.

Oh oh!!!

The Sky Soaring Celestial Deer let out a mournful cry of pain.

A huge meteorite flew straight towards the Sky Soaring Celestial Deer’s head.

Jiang Shan Yi instinctively shouted, “Kid, be careful!”

However, as soon as he spoke, he found that Lin Ling was no longer on the Sky Soaring Celestial Deer.

Although the Sky Soaring Celestial Deer was rapidly descending, it was still at an altitude of a thousand meters at this moment. Wouldn't this kid be smashed into a meat paste if he jumped down?

His mental power instantly spread out, but he immediately widened his eyes.

In his perception, the diamond armor on Lin Ling’s body shimmered with colorful divine light, and he crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

A health bar above the armor instantly decreased by seventy to eighty percent.

However, the next second, silver light flickered, and the health bar instantly refilled.

And Lin Ling climbed out of the crater he had created, completely unharmed.

Seeing this, Jiang Shan Yi turned and ascended into the air. With a wave of his hand, the Sky Soaring Celestial Deer’s massive body instantly disappeared.

“I should have thought of it earlier. This kid is a Full-Time Mage. Since he can cast a Wind-type Forbidden Spell, then the Meteor Fire Rain and World-Destroying Thunder that appeared in Xuanfu Base City before were all his doing.”

“Good kid, no wonder he told me it would be a fight to the death. This isn’t a little hedgehog; this is practically a honey badger.”

Jiang Shan Yi thought to himself as the vortex above his head continued to absorb the falling fireballs and lightning.

And a layer of silver armor lit up on his body, allowing the wind blades to strike it without causing him the slightest harm.

“Although it’s a Forbidden Spell, the damage is still not enough. It might barely have a chance against a Seven Turns sneak attack, but against an Eight-turn, he would probably be directly crushed.”

Jiang Shan Yi did not continue to think further. In his opinion, Lin Ling’s Forbidden Spell did not pose much lethality to him.

At least, it wouldn’t gain much advantage against a Space-type Grand Magus.

With a thought, he instantly appeared on the ground.

“Kid, stop right now!” Jiang Shan Yi shouted loudly.

At this moment, they had already entered the suburbs of Kyoto Base City, less than fifty kilometers from the Kyoto urban area.

There were multiple leveling zones nearby, with tens of thousands of Professionals currently killing monsters and leveling up.

Such a commotion had probably already alarmed the high-ranking officials of Dragon Country. If it truly caused irreversible casualties, it would truly not be fun.

However, as soon as his voice fell, a Sanskrit chant that made his skin crawl echoed in his ears again.

The ground began to tremble, and skeletal figures rapidly emerged from underground. In a blink of an eye, thousands of skeletons surrounded Jiang Shan Yi.

Most of these skeletons were Skeleton Archers and Skeleton Mages.

As soon as they appeared, they launched attacks at Jiang Shan Yi, but these attacks landed on Jiang Shan Yi without even breaking his defense.

However, just then, a snow-white skeletal claw suddenly emerged from beneath Jiang Shan Yi’s feet and grabbed his ankle.

“You f-...”

Jiang Shan Yi’s expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to shatter the skeleton, an invisible energy instantly arrived from the distant sky and entered his body.

“Palace Master??”

The moment Jiang Shan Yi was stunned, the Skeleton Warrior, holding his ankle, swung him towards the ground.

Boom boom boom boom…

In an instant, Jiang Shan Yi was swung back and forth four times.

Although the damage was not great, the humiliation was extremely high.

Bang…

The Skeleton Warrior instantly turned into dust, and Jiang Shan Yi, covered in dust, was truly in a sorry state.

Jiang Shan Yi couldn’t help but glance towards the east, his face full of emo, looking as wronged as could be.

“Casamodos Hayer Jula Mo…”

“Space Forbidden Spell — Elemental Expulsion!”

An obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation sounded from Jiang Shan Yi’s mouth.

In an instant, the magic elements within a ten-kilometer radius completely disappeared.

Jiang Shan Yi walked step by step towards Lin Ling, his eyes filled with fierce light, already having decided that he would definitely give him a good spanking.

However, just then, a red and black cloud layer suddenly appeared on the eastern horizon.

“If you don’t want a Lightning-type Forbidden Spell and a Fire-type Forbidden Spell to simultaneously fall on the Kyoto urban area, stop now.” Lin Ling’s voice sounded. He naturally wouldn’t actually do that, but the attitude had to be shown, and the fist had to be displayed.

Jiang Shan Yi’s expression was gloomy, and he said testily, “Do you really think I can’t deal with you!”

He pointed at Lin Ling with a raised hand and softly chanted, “Imprison!”

A blue light instantly shot towards Lin Ling.

Level 180 Space-type Magic, Space Imprisonment. Once it hits the target, it will cut off the opponent’s perception of magic elements and imprison their skill list.

Although it was a bit embarrassing for a Seven Turns Grand Magus like him to use such a high-level magic against a level 30 junior.

But at this moment, Jiang Shan Yi had no choice. He had to quickly stop this lawless little guy.

However, just as that situation hit Lin Ling, a system prompt instantly appeared before Jiang Shan Yi’s eyes.

【Target is in a magic immune state. Any magic attack is ineffective against him.】

Jiang Shan Yi instantly widened his eyes. He no longer knew how many times he had widened his eyes so much in less than ten minutes.

Jiang Shan Yi: “How is that possible? How can you have magic immunity!”

“You forced me!” Lin Ling said in a deep voice.

Jiang Shan Yi’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately dared not make the slightest move.

He understood what Lin Ling was going to do.

But a Forbidden Spell attacking the capital absolutely could not happen.

“Enough, Lin Ling, if you keep this up, I’ll get angry!” Jiang Shan Yi said in a deep voice.

“Swear to the Divine Realm that you will never reveal my secret, never harm me, and compensate me for my losses, otherwise, may heaven and earth punish you.” Lin Ling said.

“What are you afraid of? You have already killed a Seven Turns assassin, proving your strength. If you reveal your talent, Dragon Nest will only value you more. The stronger you are, the more resources you can get. Besides, I will protect you.” Jiang Shan Yi stared at Lin Ling.

“Protect?”

“In fact, we have always been secretly observing you, but because of some suspicious points about you, we couldn’t put some things out in the open.”

Jiang Shan Yi said somewhat anxiously.

“Swear!” Lin Ling said again, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Jiang Shan Yi was now subtly truly angered.

But just then, a soft female voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

“Agree to him! Lin Ling’s value far exceeds our estimation. Satisfy all his demands!”

Jiang Shan Yi’s pupils contracted sharply, and he replied in his mind, “Yes, Palace Master.”

He sighed, and his gaze towards Lin Ling instantly softened a lot.

“I, Jiang Shan Yi, swear to the Divine Realm that I will never reveal Lin Ling’s secret, never harm Lin Ling, and compensate Lin Ling for his losses, otherwise, may heaven and earth punish me!”

As soon as these words left his mouth, Jiang Shan Yi felt a wave of relief.

He asked himself, if he truly fought Lin Ling to the death, he might win in the end, but he would definitely be in a very sorry state.

This seeming compromise also gave him an out.

This young man’s courage was astonishing, but his mindset was a bit too extreme.

【Jiang Shan Yi’s oath to you has taken effect.】

Looking at the system prompt that appeared before him, Lin Ling’s lips curved slightly. He had caused such a big scene just for this moment.

Whether he could fleece him heavily depended on what came next.
