Chapter 779: The Death of the Holy Mage
St. George is a very strong opponent.
From beginning to end, the wizard did not make any mistakes and remained cautious, trying to consider every possible situation.
His strength level is also extremely strong. He has done everything that a mythical wizard can do. If the soul card system and the star armory were not higher than Roland Sky Realm in terms of civilization level, Yu Cang would not have won so easily.
Moreover, his will was firm enough, and he had only one goal from the beginning to the end - to recreate the Roland Sky Realm and continue the mage civilization.
Yu Cang didn't hate such an enemy - after all, he was the winner.
He knew very well in his heart that, regardless of whether the path was correct, St. George was essentially the same as himself, fighting for his own civilization. It was just that his luck was not that good, and he... was not "destined" after all.
St. George's counter-attack actually put Him into the abyss of defeat.
If the stars hadn't fallen by then, if they hadn't belonged to two different civilizations, perhaps he would have been interested in becoming friends with St. George. But unfortunately, this could only be an "if."
This is how the battles between civilizations work in the star realm. There is no right or wrong, only life and death.
Therefore, Yu Cang showed him respect.
Suddenly, Yu Cang suddenly remembered what Emperor Zulong said before his death.
“When you are on the road, do you still have hope?”
Yeah…can’t leave anything to chance.
Otherwise, I will be the next St. George.
Yu Cang took a deep breath, and then suppressed the inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Although the victory over St. George was mostly due to good luck, a win is a win, and Yu Cang accepted the victory calmly.
He thought about it, and then rode the war celestial body from the star armory to the present world.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the war object that was "unfolding into a celestial body" on the side.
Now, this guy is as big as the moon, and it definitely deserves the title of "war celestial body".
Standing next to it, Yu Cang could feel the vague gravitational force coming from it - the gravitational force was not strong, and there was an illusion that it was not acting on the body, but on the spirit.
This was normal. After all, the war celestial bodies were composed of spirit particles, not matter, so they did not produce the same gravity as real celestial bodies. What Yu Cang felt now was something similar to the gravity of the consciousness realm.
It is also for this reason that despite its huge size, this guy is not bulky, but rather quite light.
With just a thought, Yu Cang could control it to fly at high speed, and the acceleration process was almost non-existent, making it ghostly.
After manipulating the war celestial body in the sea of magic for a while, Yu Cang felt a sense of unreality in his heart, which became more and more serious.
It's so weird.
This war object seems to have no inertia and rarely interacts with its surroundings. Manipulating its movement is like dragging a model in a non-rendering modeling software, which is so fake that it drives people crazy.
However, being light does not mean being weak.
If a person were to stand in front of a war celestial body and be hit by it, even mythology might not be able to withstand it.
Just now, the process of celestial expansion alone released enough energy to annihilate an unprotected mythical mage. Now that the expansion is complete, its power is naturally needless to say.
In fact, St. George was also killed by the first sight. The speed of the celestial body expansion was too fast. Normally, if there was intelligence, even if St. George was defeated, he would not be killed by the aftermath of the "transformation".
But the Nameless Empire is somewhat unreasonable. If Xinghe tries to usurp the throne, they can even erase the relevant memories of the entire star realm, forcing you to be killed on your first encounter. How can you play this game?
After the celestialization unfolds, the war celestial body can be said to have truly entered combat status.
It integrates a large number of functional units, and can support whatever Yu Cang wants to do... It's like turning on the creative mode.
For example, if Yu Cang wants fire, he can partially ignite the war body, or he can adjust the properties of all its spirit particles to fire, turning it into a fireball.
When you want water, you can switch seamlessly.
This also shows the generation gap between Roland Sky Realm and the Nameless Empire.
A mythical wizard can certainly rely on different types of spells to do various things and deal with different situations, but... there are too many spells that he needs to prepare.
Look at St. George, he has prepared a lot of spells. Although they are indeed comprehensive and each spell can deal with one or several special situations, but... in the end, there are too few that can actually be used.
It's like when you add various board-clearing cards to your deck in order to increase your upper limit, but when you actually start playing, you can't avoid getting stuck.
The war celestial body, with the help of the plasticity of the spirit particles, can achieve the sum of all spells.
It's like every card in your deck has the functions of understanding the field, earning cards, scheduling, and increasing field value. There is no need to make choices, and you will win no matter how you play.
The gap is obvious.
Yu Cang manipulated the war celestial body for a while, and then an idea came to his mind.
Buzz!
The war celestial body began to shrink inward again!
This time, Yu Cang used a more complex function... This would be a challenge to his control ability. In a real battle, without the assistance of intelligent spirit particles, he would definitely not dare to use it.
But now, just take it slow.
Countless spirit particles collapsed inward, and gradually, the shape of the war body quietly changed, from the original sphere to... a sword.
Um……
Yu Cang nodded.
He originally wanted to pinch out a sword.
However, the number of spirit particles was so terrifying that the "sword" that was formed was... crooked and strangely shaped, looking like some kind of strange weapon.
This is a 3,000-kilometer-long sword, which is currently being controlled by Yu Cang.
I have to say.
Although it looks a bit inferior, this is the real way of flying a sword!
Planetary Sword, boy!
Shaking his head, Yu Cang waved his hand and let the war celestial body return to the state of the spirit cube.
Then he began to think again.
The war celestial body is very malleable. It can transform into a flying sword, and it can also... transform into a mecha.
From this perspective, is it possible to combine it with the mechanical race and then summon it using soul cards?
It is difficult to summon a complete war celestial body, so you can summon a part of it first... Didn't he use the same idea when he summoned the world shadow?
If it really doesn't work, you can also let the warriors summon a part each, and then combine them at the end!
Wasn't this the original idea behind individual reactive armor?
It should be possible!
However, it still requires some research and experimentation.
Yu Cang nodded and kept this idea in mind.
Worth a try!
If this is really possible, then those star arsenals scattered everywhere will have a way to bypass the intelligent leptons and be used.
That’s right, without intelligent leptons, even Yu Cang would not be able to use all the functions of the complete war celestial body. However, wouldn’t it be possible to split it up and reorganize it, and let each soul card master control a part of it?
Although this will test tacit understanding, the Yan Kingdom’s army has no shortage of tacit understanding!
The war celestial body gradually disappeared from the world under Yu Cang's gaze, and returned to the Star Armory under the pull of the gravity of the consciousness world.
The magical sea returned to calm.
Yu Cang came back to his senses.
He turned his head and looked at the last place where St. George existed. After a long moment, he sighed.
Then, he stretched out his hand and took out a soul card.
As a sign of respect, Yu Cang will not try to resurrect St. George and force him to work for him.
However, a great war between gods took place here, and a wizard fought for his civilization until the last moment. This scene is worth recording as a soul card.
Taking out the array writing pen, Yu Cang wrote and drew on the blank soul card. Based on his previous insights, he laid out a simple rhythmic framework on it.
Then, he opened the entry recorder and selected several entries with a high success rate.
After taking a deep breath and adjusting his condition, Yu Cang chose the implant.
Buzz...
No surprises, it worked.
…
Soul Card Name: Roland Void Realm: Holy Mage's Sorrow
Category: Spell Card
Quality: Mythical
Attributes: None
ability:
[Mage Qualification - Placement]: When the owner enters combat, or when activating a Soul Card regardless of cost, the Soul Card can be placed face down on the field. This Soul Card will return to the deck after leaving the field.
[Mage Qualification - Counterattack]: When activated, this ability is negated, dealing damage to the user who activated it. If the user is a Soul Card, the connection is disconnected.
[Mage Quality·Erudimentary]: During a battle, each time this Soul Card returns to the deck, it will increase the holder's Soul Energy recovery speed and mental stress limit.
[Saint Mage's Sorrow]: If this Soul Card is in Death Cooldown and the holder's Mental Stress is at full value, the Soul Card must be disconnected and activated to offset an upcoming effect or attack.
…
Yu Cang got a myth.
This did not surprise Yu Cang.
Although Yu Cang did not implant the mythical entry in the previous entry implantation, the battle that served as its blueprint was definitely mythical, so it was normal to obtain the mythical soul card.
This soul card is very powerful.
The field with "Roland Sky Realm" in its name seems to have the potential to develop a series of soul cards when combined with the previous Ether Deity Ra...
However, even if there is, it is something Yu Cang should consider later.
But judging from the soul card in front of him, this is a very strong impedance.
Its most core ability is obviously [Mage Quality·Counterattack].
Simply put, this is a three-color Kang.
It can negate the ability activated by others once, which is simply and crudely powerful... Moreover, this negativity is not limited to soul cards, which is very powerful.
Invalid myth!
If combined with its [Mage Quality·Layout], it will be even more powerful.
As long as the conditions of [Layout] are met, this Soul Card can be placed directly without any consumption, that is to say, it is in a state that can be activated at any time!
Covering the Soul Card is a skill in using the Soul Card. That is, you first pay 80% of the Soul Energy of this Soul Card to cover it, and then you can replenish the remaining 20% at any time and use it.
The cost of spell cards is already low, and now 80% of the cost is directly wiped out for you... It's no different from getting it for free.
And, most importantly, the soul card that is covered by [Layout] will be returned to the deck after activation... In other words, [Layout] can be triggered again to cover it at any time!
As long as you build a system with this soul card as the core and operate it a little during the battle, this soul card can appear at any time in the battle, preventing the opponent from using any ability!
As for the third ability [Erudimentary]... although it is a very rare ability that increases the speed of soul energy recovery and the upper limit of mental stress, it is just a bonus in this soul card.
However, the fourth ability [Saint Mage's Sorrow]... although it looks very powerful, it is actually the weakness of this soul card.
Because this ability is a guaranteed effect.
"must".
Although, with [Layout], this soul card generally does not enter death cooldown, but will repeatedly return to the deck, but there are always operational errors or times when it is targeted by the opponent.
At this time, if you use [Countermeasure] directly without [Planning], the soul card will naturally enter the death cooldown.
At this time, if your mental stress happens to be at its maximum... then you have to say goodbye to this card.
I'll disconnect you immediately! You can't refuse!
Although it can help you resist the effect once, this ability is obviously not as strong as repeatedly using [Counterattack].
This is considered a weakness of this soul card.
However, it also reflects the tragic grandeur of St. George.
St. George has been laying out the Roland Sky Realm for ten thousand years. During this period, the strength of the Roland Sky Realm has also increased rapidly due to the product of his layout, the "Arcane Parliament", which corresponds to [Erudimentary Knowledge].
The Council of Olympians also repeatedly countered the crises that threatened Roland's Sky Realm.
Until one day, Roland Sky Realm encountered the real doomsday that its layout could not control... That is, the situation corresponding to "being in death cooldown" and "full mental pressure".
At this time, the Holy Mage has no choice but to sacrifice himself - even if this sacrifice does not actually work.
That is, [The Sorrow of the Holy Mage].
Yu Cang carefully read the words on the soul card and then put it away.
He will remember the story behind this soul card and use it properly.
However, although this soul card is powerful, he cannot use it in the short term.
Although [Layout] can significantly reduce its soul energy consumption, but...
Firstly, even if it is lowered, it is not something that Yu Cang, who is only level seven, can use.
Secondly, Yu Cang’s strength is not enough to establish a deep connection with this soul card, so he can’t use it at all.
This soul card is not the kind that can be used across levels.
However, there might be a chance to use [Saint Mage's Sorrow]... As long as you meet another colored pen like Shen Xi again and accidentally put this soul card into the death cooldown, it will be fine.
It is quite powerful enough to block the effects or damage of myth level or below once.
However, an opponent like Shen Xi is hard to come by.
Speaking of which...
Yu Cang rubbed his chin.
Roland Sky Realm, it’s so quiet.
Logically speaking, Di Chang'an is about to break through, so he shouldn't be like this...
Could something have gone wrong?
