Chapter 934: 706
So, magic can be played like this as well!
The soldiers present were all regular troops; they might have become Seven Star Mages, but their combat abilities were not very strong. After all, as regular soldiers, their first task was to cast spells according to orders.
However, at this moment, whether it was Ai Lin or Oran, the continuously interlinked spells they were casting dazzled the onlookers. Nevertheless, compared to Oran, who was obviously a bit flustered, Ai Lin seemed much more graceful and composed.
"Miss Ailin is indeed strong, and even stronger than I had imagined," Gridis said slowly.
"No, this is just a warm-up," Saint Julio said.
Sure enough, Oran also understood that if he continued like this, he wouldn’t gain any advantage. To win, he couldn’t hold anything back!
Boom!
A massive Auffa ring unfolded behind Oran, and its mighty power spread far beyond that of an ordinary Sanctuary mage. The soldiers who had been cheering on Ai Lin while mocking Oran immediately subdued a lot under the absolute suppression of mana; nobody wanted to make themselves uncomfortable.
"Scaring me? I can do that too!"
Ai Lin chuckled, and a similarly huge silver Auffa ring unfolded behind her. Instantly, all the soldiers felt the formulas within their bodies resonating with Ai Lin’s Auffa ring, and the pressure from Oran vanished entirely!
"Ai Lin! Ai Lin! Long live!" the soldiers suddenly shouted.
"Come on, release your little assistant as well, or you won’t stand a chance before you die!" Ai Lin told Oran.
"It’s you who will die! Not me!" Oran roared, slowly rising into the air, and at the same time, he split into eight replicas of himself!
"Illusion Bombardment!"
The eight Orans each conjured a sphere of magic with a strange glow and then smashed all eight spheres toward Ai Lin at the same time.
Ai Lin tried to dodge, but the eight magic spheres had extremely unpredictable trajectories. Although Ai Lin managed to avoid six of them, she was still hit by two.
Stumbling from the impact, Ai Lin’s vision briefly blackened, but she was not injured.
"What, is that your attack? It doesn’t hurt a bit," Ai Lin mocked.
"Don’t rush! There’s six more!" The eight Orans laughed loudly, casting more magic spheres.
This time, Ai Lin was hit by three.
"Alright, I’m actually curious, so this time I won’t dodge."
Ai Lin simply stood there motionless, and a cruel smile flashed across Oran’s lips.
"If that’s the case, then die within your terrible nightmare!"
"No! Miss Ailin, get out of the way quickly!" Gridis shouted.
Eight magic spheres smashed down, but Ai Lin had no intention of dodging. After three spheres hit her, the other five disappeared automatically. And, strangely enough, of the eight Orans in the sky, only one remained. But oddly, both Ai Lin and Oran were now completely still.
"What’s happening?"
Saint Jialin asked Gridis urgently.
"Ah! I’ve just remembered, this is a spell invented by my teacher, Lou Aran. After Ai Lin is hit by eight magic spheres, both their consciousnesses will enter into Ai Lin’s mind. Ai Lin will then be forced into an inescapable nightmare! Oran can manipulate the contents of the nightmare as he pleases, and no matter what’s in the nightmare, she will believe it’s real. In other words, if she dies in the nightmare, she will also die in reality!"
"Then I’ll kill Oran right now!" Saint Julio roared.
"If you do, Miss Ailin will die as well."
"So when will we know the outcome?" Saint Jialin shouted somewhat anxiously.
"Time within the mind is very slow. Maybe in a few seconds, we will know the result," Gridis said.
At that moment, Oran was floating silently within Ai Lin’s mind, a blank space where only Ai Lin stood below, eyes tightly closed.
"Hehehehe, I thought there was something different about your mental realm. It looks like anyone’s, allowing me to do whatever I want!"
Oran laughed loudly, while Ai Lin remained still below with her eyes closed, showing no reaction.
"If I desired, I could kill you right now! But I won’t do that. I want you to despair, to suffer through agony!"
"Alright, now to select a scene. If I asked you what place you like most, where would you choose?"
Immediately, the blank surroundings transformed, revealing a villa with a small garden. If Long Yi were here, he would recognize at once that this was the villa of the White Dragon Empire.
"Now, there’s a friend of yours."
Immediately, a strange girl appeared.
"She’s dead."
The girl collapsed to the ground.
Oran looked at Ai Lin, but she had no reaction.
"No, no, here’s a good friend of yours! Your lifesaver! Yes, your lifesaver!"
Immediately, Wesley appeared.
"He’s dead!"
Wesley collapsed to the ground.
Ai Lin still showed no reaction, and meanwhile, the surrounding scenery began to flicker slightly before ultimately vanishing!
"Damn it! This isn’t realistic enough! It doesn’t look real! Her instinctive disbelief causes the environment to collapse! Plot! I need a plot!" Oran pounded his head hard, "It looked so real when the teacher demonstrated it to me!"
Calm down, Oran, calm down! You have plenty of time, think slowly!
