Chapter 665: Chapter 399: Master and Disciple (Part 2)
...
It seems like recalling the teachings of the teacher back then.
"The Mystery Domain, this is the first lesson of the civil war I teach you. Mystery will be counteracted by a higher-level mystery, and similarly, it will lose power due to a large amount of other mystery," Faust explained.
"Therefore, the power of this domain is the best Defense Technique we use to counteract and neutralize the techniques of other Mystic Scholars, stronger than any other Defense Technique."
"But still, teacher, why is such a powerful technique seldom used by other Mystic Scholars?" asked the 12-year-old Harley Alben at the time.
Faust smiled: "Because everyone who has seen this technique is dead!"
"I, the teacher, am notorious as the Mystic Scholar Killer!"
"This is my original technique, and in the new era, it is a technique that everyone must learn. Even traditional Mystics are instantly dissolved among our new era techniques, dying like stray dogs," Faust said with a laugh, stating an even harsher truth.
"I started this Academy here to pass on this new era technique, and the people who come to me are either desperate or neglected illegitimate children of noble families, merely to curry favor with me or to hedge bets."
"But I don’t care about any of it; I will teach all my students these techniques. I can’t change this dirty world; even if I kill many people, the power of one person is too small to change the world."
"But you all can. I am already like the setting sun, but you all are like the dawn light. After I die, I hope you can use your powers to change this decadent, completely controlled world."
Faust smiled, telling his philosophy.
The other kids were thoughtful, just as Faust said, those who came to study here were either illegitimate children of noble families or commoners; the genuine heirs of families would not come here to inherit someone else’s techniques.
This is the tragedy of Mystic families, where only the most outstanding individual can inherit and transplant the ancestor’s Engraving, develop the family technique. Others either pray for good luck to have the Innate Technique or attempt to learn techniques collected by other families, becoming members assisting the Patriarch.
But not everyone is suited for the techniques collected by the family, especially those families that were never considered top-tier.
Therefore, despite other nobility knowing Faust teaches these kids peculiar ideas, Faust truly imparts his techniques.
Especially, as Faust gradually transitioned from the world’s first Mystic Scholar, from being a killer to the headmaster of the Mystery Academy, other nobles envied his "killer technique."
And before the teaching began, Faust announced one final requirement.
"But, children, the unfolding of this domain means a fight to the death, so I hope none of you, when meeting in the future, unfold your domains against each other." He smiled as if joking, yet it seemed his final request.
"Okay, teacher!" all the children replied.
At this moment, these people truly became his students.
"Even if later, you might disagree ideologically with each other, your families might be in opposing relationships, or have to be adversarial under any circumstance, even then, promise the teacher..."
"Do not unfold your domains against each other..."
...
"Buzz!"
The collision of domains unfolded instantly, and Faust’s domain shattered instantly.
If Mephisto’s domain is his completely controlled Subspace, then Faust’s domain was merely a region fully analyzed and demystified by him, where any technique entering his domain would be decrypted and lose its power.
This is why he once said the domain is the strongest defense method, and he is the source of the strongest Mystic Scholars, that all techniques entering his domain would be decrypted entirely and lose power, whereby in this small area, he is like a God, nearly in a pseudo-omniscient and omnipotent state.
That’s why Faust is the Mystic Scholar Killer, any Mystic Scholar covered by his domain would have their technique fail, but Faust’s technique would remain unaffected; this is the purest technique overpowering, he can be invincible in his domain.
And the only one who can deal with him is someone who also masters the domain, to counteract his technique.
But since the domain is his original technique, traditional Mystic Scholars are no match for him. The only ones who can truly defeat the "Mystic Killer" of celestial talent are merely his students!
This domain makes him invincible, makes him a nemesis of all Mystic Scholars, allowing him to kill other Mystic Scholars effortlessly like slaughtering chickens.
Yet, he is still alone.
His domain cannot always be unfolded, his power can impact this world, but his personal strength alone is insufficient.
He doesn’t have his own team, so despite wanting to change this world many times, he has failed because he lacks a true team, relying solely on investments from other nobles for major revolutions.
Therefore, he needs to establish his own team, with his invincible technique, gather a team truly united for the concept of this world, for ideals, the students!
This is the purpose of establishing the Academy.
Thus the first lesson taught to them is the domain!
"Buzz!"
The collision of domains continued to erupt, Faust’s domain thoroughly suppressed, and though this technique is his original creation, his domain was merely a region containing his technique and analysis...
While Mephisto’s domain is real, and is Subspace of equal realm with the Consciousness Space!
In a situation where the domain is completely suppressed, Faust would be suppressed too. As the Mystic Killer, once his domain was suppressed, he lost his greatest advantage, unable to attack Mystic Scholars unable to cast.
Both sides could only face each other’s techniques like traditional Mystic Scholars.
However, this situation occurs only in their master-apprentice one-on-one duels.
But now, they are not dueling, rather Xue Dili + Faust jointly dealing with Mephisto!
"Praise, former and present power combined!" On Xue Dili’s chest, the hidden energy reserve of [Flowing Light Sand] exploded without hesitation, a giant body arose, yet this was not Xue Dili’s full power.
At this moment, the Divine Tree covering the sky operated under Xue Dili’s control, this tree originating from the Cretaceous Period and responsible for the mass extinction of Cretaceous creatures, fully erupted with power far exceeding other Divine Trees.
Xue Dili still remembers how Blington used this Divine Tree to create "Qijela," and such existence as the four Evil Spirits.
Now, the branches and roots of the Divine Tree expanded, completely covering the Giant God of Destruction.
The roots entwined the Giant, weaving into the strongest Armor made of giant tree, the branches entangled in his hands, creating a twisted Branch Greatsword.
At this moment, the Giant God of Destruction fully armed with Divine Tree Armor stood in the Consciousness Space.
This is now Xue Dili’s strongest power.
Smash, break, cheer loudly!
The Divine Tree Greatsword in Giant God of Destruction’s hand burst with terrifying Annihilation Energy, the glow cannon shot up to the sky, seemingly breaking through this Subspace, then a massive pillar of Annihilation Energy descended from the sky, with momentum to split the entire Consciousness Space.
Mephisto immediately attempted to dodge the attack, she is not reckless, nor would she try to resist such attack using her domain.
"Deflect!" Mephisto’s technique unfolded on her body.
