Chapter 245: "Waste Stone" Tops, Deflecting the God's Meteor
Stellan swore that she really wanted to hesitate, be reserved, and hesitate before considering whether to enter the painting world. After all, she heard that it was very dangerous there.
But suddenly someone kicked the tree, the trunk shook, and her palm pressed on the painting.
Who wants to harm me!
A second before she was pulled into the painting world, she saw Luluwo, who came here to kick a tree to vent his anger because he lost once.
"Luluwo!"
"Who called me?"
Luluwo looked up at the treetops, but there was no one there. She shook her head and said to herself:
"I guess I'm hallucinating."
The feeling of entering the painting world is like entering a dungeon through a portal, and sometimes you will feel dizzy.
I heard that everyone who enters the painting world will see an immersive story from a first-person perspective. Only after the story is over can they act on their own, explore the map, conquer monsters, and defeat the boss before they can leave.
This is undoubtedly a very dangerous choice. Stellan heard that the "Shadowless" Geralt from the guild had entered the Wolf Knight's painting world for three days and had not come out yet.
So she was really hesitating just now and really didn't dare to come in!
It’s all Luluwo’s fault!
After a dizzy spell, she successfully entered the world of painting.
Who is the first-person perspective in this?
What appeared before her was a dilapidated church, exactly the same church in the painting. Pushing aside the weeds growing wildly at the door, she saw a bald man sitting in the corner, looking sad.
"Are you a fader?"
"If it's convenient, can you give me some runes? I used to study pyroxene magic in Rhea Lukalia. If you give me runes, I can teach you magic."
Paying for learning is a normal thing.
When I saw Topps’ portrait and various traces in the academy before, I thought he was a kind-hearted person who taught everyone.
This idea was quickly killed.
Stellan couldn't control this body and could only watch him give out ten runes?
How many?
This is too little!
She had picked up a [Tiny Golden Rune] in the lake area before and used it to exchange for the first fragment in front of Topps' portrait. The tiny golden rune was appraised to be worth three hundred runes.
So, with just a small price like ten runes, I could learn magic from Tops? How could it be so cheap?
Later, she found out why it was so cheap, because Tops could only teach her a few types of magic, and their power was not strong either, it could only be considered the basics of the basics.
No wonder it's so cheap, these seem to be standard equipment for magicians.
Stellan didn't feel disgusted, she just felt that these things were of no use.
But the person she was watching from a first-person perspective was enjoying learning, and it was obvious that he really had no foundation in magic at all.
Is the White Wolf still weak at this time?
"I'm so sorry. It's rare that you're willing to share your runes with me, but I can only teach you these low-level magics."
"Are you here to study again? Of course you are welcome, as long as you are willing to learn my magic that is not presentable enough."
"Thank you, thank you for being willing to learn my magic."
"I never thought that a useless person like me would have the opportunity to teach others magic."
Time passed by and it felt like a very long time had passed. Stellan watched the interaction between White Wolf and Tops silently. After all, she could do nothing but watch.
Tops was very happy and taught very hard, trying to be a good mentor, even though his teaching was a little clumsy and he couldn't even decipher the magic scrolls, so he could only teach the most basic magic.
White Wolf also fulfilled his duties as an apprentice. He learned all kinds of magic perfectly with his amazing talent, often making Tops feel inferior.
The two quickly became a teacher-student and friend. Stellan, who was watching everything, also developed some feelings for the people in the picture.
Every night, Tops was thinking about something alone, muttering incomprehensible words, as if there was a "force field" or something.
Occasionally, a shooting star will streak across the night sky.
Stellan watched the whole process and finally learned about Tops' life experience.
He was a magician with no talent, so he was called "Waste Stone". After he accidentally left Rhea Lukalia, he found that the gate was sealed and he could not go back.
This was too tragic. Stellan began to sympathize with him and wished she could give him a key. White Wolf quickly found the key and wanted to give it to Tops.
Stellan thought that the other party would happily accept the key and return to the magic hall, but things developed unexpectedly.
"You found the pyroxene key? But you should use it. I can't accept it. Yes, I hope you can go to that academic hall. I don't want to hinder you for my own purpose."
"Alas, that's why I will always be a 'waste stone'."
The pyroxene key here can only be used by one person!
Stellan was somewhat moved, she had not expected that Topps would actually refuse the benefit that was delivered to her door. The image of this magician in her mind was elevated a little. On the basis of being both a teacher and a friend, she also added the term of a person of high moral character. Such a Topps was already very good except that his magical talent was really ordinary.
White Wolf has learned all of Tops' magic, and it's time to part ways. With his mentor's blessing, he embarks on the journey to the magic academy.
Is that it?
Stellan was puzzled. Was this all that mattered about Topps?
Of course not.
He saw White Wolf defeat the Full Moon Queen and found the second key in the academy, so he turned back to look for Tops.
This time, the other party did not refuse.
Tops was extremely happy and kept expressing his gratitude. Being able to return to Rhea Lukalia again was the greatest happiness for him.
"Would you like to come to the academy again when it's convenient for you?"
"By then, your teacher might become even more powerful, hahaha."
Amidst laughter, Tops set out on the return journey, and even the air was filled with joy.
Stellan watched him leave with a smile on her face. She truly experienced the story between White Wolf and Tops, and developed respect for this humble and morally upright teacher.
Being able to return to the academy is probably the best ending for him.
It is rare to witness a good ending in the Sen Dungeon, which is really not easy.
The scene changed, and many images flashed before her eyes, lakes, volcanoes, plateaus... All kinds of unprecedented scenes flashed before her eyes, which meant that the White Wolf had been fighting for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly returned to the Magic Academy, finally remembering to visit his teacher.
Stellan perked up and followed White Wolf's perspective as she ran around the academy, but she couldn't find Tops anywhere.
For no apparent reason, a bad thought came to her mind.
Finally, they found Topps in a corner of the corridor. Stellan couldn't help but cover her mouth, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
He sat peacefully in the chair, his face full of satisfaction, as quiet as if he was asleep, holding a ball of light quietly in his hands.
But Stellan and White Wolf clenched their fists together, because the other party had already died.
He returned to the magic academy he had longed for, but he didn't even have a classroom or a room. Bullied and excluded by other magicians, he could only place tables and chairs in the corridor. However, he did not feel discouraged and studied magic day and night.
And the moment he developed magic, the moment the waste stone finally shed its shell and blossomed, his life also came to an end.
White Wolf got the relic left by Tops, a brand new magic.
[Tops' Force Field]
[This magic was created by Tops, who was called Waste Stone, after risking his life to explore. It can form a magic field, banishing all magic and prayers, and will continue to form a field while it is being cast.]
[People in later generations will surely understand that the theory that was ridiculed was actually a discovery that could establish a new classroom]
Uncover the magic?
Before she could recover from her grief, Stellan saw the White Wolf taking revenge on the academy.
It is an indisputable fact that the magicians bully and exclude Tops. As an apprentice, how can he not be angry?
He waved the [Tops Force Field], and all magic could not get close, as if the teacher was also protecting him. This academy that had been ripped through by the White Wolf once was ripped through again, and this time it directly caused the magicians to completely lose the idea of fighting against it.
Stellan opened her mouth and the images kept flickering.
White Wolf constantly waved his stance on his road of conquest. Broomsticks originating from the stars, comets born from the darkness, flames filled with wronged souls, and meteorites from outer space, no matter what kind of magic they were, were all bounced away!
The more she watched these scenes, the more complicated Stellan's emotions towards Topps became.
A "waste stone", a person who lacks talent and can only learn the most basic magic, and cannot even decipher scrolls, has developed a position to "deny" all offensive magic.
This is indeed enough theory to form a new classroom.
No, a new classroom? That kind of thing is worthless in front of my teacher!
Just when Stellan was filled with indignation at Topps's experience, she suddenly found that the scene in front of her had changed.
In a room full of water
The White Wolf confronted the God.
It was a great thing of marvelous form, as if it had come from the will of the stars, and was undoubtedly the incarnation of a god.
【Beast of Elden】
Stellan couldn't see His face clearly. In her eyes, it was just a blurry mass of light and shadow. This was for her mental health.
But she could feel the majesty, the majesty that only a high-level life could possess, which made her soul tremble, and she couldn't help but have the urge to kneel down.
Little did she know that this majesty was only simulated and was far inferior to the real Beast of Elden. If the real owner was here, she would probably have fainted.
Wait, wait, White Wolf wants to fight this kind of existence? How can he possibly defeat it!
Stellan was so frightened that she almost died, but the owner of this body remained steadfast. He raised the Dark Moon Greatsword towards the incarnation of the god in front of him.
Raise your sword to the gods!
Stellan could not describe the ensuing battle. It was beyond her comprehension. Various great powers gathered together. She could only describe it with this word -
The gods are fighting!
She keenly noticed that the great being seemed unable to defeat the White Wolf! ?
When she realized this, courage suddenly surged in her heart, and she dared to look directly at the blurry light and shadow. The owner of this body was the strongest being!
The great being leaped high into the sky, stretched his body, and released a golden meteor of glory. It was the legendary power, the Elden Meteor that would punish all blasphemers.
Just a meteor is enough to make all living things tremble, not to mention the brilliance that fills the sky. Is there really anyone who can contend with it?
It was at this moment that the White Wolf waved his staff.
Stellan's eyes widened, and at the same moment she realized what the other party was going to do, a blue magic force field appeared.
The golden meteor was deflected!
"ah!"
At this moment, Stellan was so excited that she couldn't help but scream.
From Tops's perspective, he could even reject the majesty of God!
Being able to see this kind of scene, her trip was really worth it!
But she seemed to hear her own scream again. Strange, I was not experiencing it from a first-person perspective.
She was horrified to find that she had suddenly taken control of this body without knowing when, and the great being in front of her flew into the sky again, about to release the Elden Meteor.
"Hey, do you want me to take over?!"
Stellan was about to explode with anger at this moment. She was very scared when she was hiding in the white wolf's body. Now that she took over this body and faced the Beast of Elden herself, her heart was about to explode.
My limbs were stiff and felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, and cold sweat was pouring down my face.
I must escape, I must escape. Great fear fills my heart.
But when she saw countless meteors forming, Stellan stopped.
She thought of the White Wolf's heroic performance just now, the countless nights she had discussed magic with Tops, the teacher holding his final masterpiece with a serene look on his face, and the force field that bounced off the meteor.
It was also at this time that she finally understood why the Sean Dungeon chose to let her take over the body at this time.
"Only those who dare to defy the gods are qualified to use the teacher's force field."
At this moment, her expression was firm, and she mustered up the courage to raise her staff towards the approaching meteor.
“Buzz——”
When it comes time to actually take action, things are often simpler than you think.
A magic force field appeared here, and the Elden meteor was bent as expected. Countless meteors with a breath of destruction passed by her, and any touch would shatter her into pieces.
But Stellan, under Tops' protection, was fearless.
If someone still doesn't dare to raise a force field to the gods after witnessing everything Tops has done and the White Wolf's journey, that kind of person...
It’s better to just die!
The majestic orchestral music sounded, pushing the atmosphere to its climax, and the picture was frozen at this moment.
Stellan's heart was filled with emotion, she knew that this battle would be a victory for the White Wolf, and since the force field could deflect the attacks of the gods, this was also a victory for Tops.
Whether you dare to resist the gods or not, this is the condition for whether you can pass this painting world!
For some people, this is an absolutely impossible condition to achieve!
And Stellan was lucky, she did it, so she was able to leave this world, but before leaving, she saw new video clips.
"【Silent Ban】, 【Eternal Darkness】, 【Return of Kalia】. If we combine these with the teacher's force field, can we create a more advanced magic?"
It was an unknown time period, but White Wolf was sitting at the table, lost in thought.
"After you create the new magic, what will you name it?" Two pairs of blue hands reached out from the darkness and put a coat on the white wolf.
"Of course. It's still called [Tops's Force Field]."
There was a sudden buzzing sound in her ears, as if she was kicked off a cliff. Stellan's consciousness fell rapidly and her back suffered a violent impact.
"My back!"
She groaned in pain, but laughter was heard all around her.
"Hey, I'm back?"
The light pierced into her eyes, and she was surprised to find that she had left the painting world. All the paintings she had collected with great difficulty disappeared, and were replaced by a shield.
The ordinary shield reflected her face, and her eyes were still a little dazed.
This is the reward for passing the painting world, could it be!
Stellan's breathing suddenly became rapid. At the end of the painting world, White Wolf combined magic that she had never heard of one after another to create the more powerful [Tops's Force Field]. If that was really attached to this shield...
Then I can defeat the entire wizarding world by myself!
"Lizna, use Magic Missile on me!"
This was the first time Lizna heard such a statement, and she happily fired a magic missile at Stellan, who raised her shield with confidence.
"Bang!"
The missile hit the shield, and the impact caused Stellan to fall on her back. The confidence on her face turned into surprise.
"Why, why didn't it work?"
".Nervous." Liznai curled her lips. "Did you fall asleep? We have reviewed the game, it's time for the second round."
Stellan rubbed her head, thinking that something must be wrong. This couldn't be an ordinary shield, right?
It was able to withstand a magic missile without being damaged, so it must be a shield of good quality.
“.”
"Then this reward is too bad!"
Having said that, she still obediently carried her shield and followed the main force into the academy again, preparing for the second crusade against the Full Moon Queen.
She looked at her elf companions and wanted to say something but stopped herself several times. She was unable to tell them how she had used up all the painting fragments and finally got such a shield.
I always feel that what I say now will become the target of people's concentrated attacks. After all, everyone is angry because they lost the fight.
Let's wait until the time is right.
Stellan now feels like she has to hand in her homework but has lost her homework book, and she is feeling very uneasy.
After some time, the adventurers reached the fourth floor again and stood at the door of the Full Moon Queen.
"Remember, your target is the giant, your target is the wolf pack, you are responsible for killing the dragon, and try to deal with other summons before the werewolf is summoned."
Luluwo made strategic arrangements for everyone, which was a decision everyone had already made just now.
"When the queen flies up into the sky, the free magicians will quickly cast bubble shields on people to prevent the scattered crystals and magic bullets. When a real fight breaks out, everyone will be more alert."
"Make sure your crossbows are in good condition. Since magic attacks have little effect on the queen, let's use other methods. She tends to run around, so archery is the best solution. But all we have to do is use arrows to pin the queen down. The real killing will be left to the big guys."
Japar nodded. In terms of strength, he was still number one.
"No more questions, let's go!"
The heavy door was pushed open again. The adventurers gathered their courage and in the blink of an eye they came to a strange space where there was a bright moon over the sea. The "Full Moon Queen" opened her eyes and the full moon burst into light.
“Kill!”
Everything was just as expected. Dragons, goblins, wolves, hounds, half-wolves, and all the allies the queen mentioned appeared one after another.
Although they had already prepared for the battle, the adventurers found that they were still unable to adapt to the battle with these summoned creatures right away. The group of strategy teams fighting the half-wolves and dragons were still fine, but the adventurers fighting the mountain goblins and hound knights soon looked embarrassed.
Especially the Hound Knight, the adventurers completely underestimated this plain-looking enemy. His strange skills of suddenly disappearing and reappearing created an extremely difficult situation for the adventurers. In less than a moment, he killed three people in a row!
The others had to help deal with the Hound Knight, but this left vacancies for other summoned creatures, and the battlefield, which had been well-organized at the beginning, became chaotic again.
"Still not working?" Stellan tried her best to snipe the Pyroxenon. The battle scene in front of her did not give her an optimistic feeling.
As time went by, some of the summoned creatures were killed and some automatically dissipated, and finally only the Full Moon Queen was left on the field.
She was also chased by experienced sword masters and others, and had more wounds on her body, with silver-white blood flowing down.
But the time has come.
[Lenarra's Full Moon] appears again!
"Damn it!" Luluwo stomped her feet in anger. They had no idea how to counter this force. The appearance of the full moon meant a fatal blow.
The other adventurers were also sighing, feeling unhappy and sad. They had to start all over again and they didn't know if they could hold on. If someone died again, someone would have a headache.
Japar refused to believe in evil and used the Lianxing Sword again to attack the queen, but there was still no effect. The intelligence gap between the two sides led to this "tragedy".
At this moment of despair, Stellan suddenly felt the shield on her back vibrating.
"Huh?"
The shield is glowing?
A line of magical words suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
【Silver Shield】
[Combat Skill: Tops' Force Field - Modified]
[War ash formed by magic transformed by Tops' apprentice, King Elden who has set foot on the road to the stars]
[It condenses the wisdom of countless ancestors discovered by King Elden in the lost history, and integrates magic such as Eternal Darkness, Silent Prohibition, and Kalia's Return. It is the ultimate version of Tops' force field, which can deflect, absorb, eliminate, and reject all spells! ]
[This is the power that plunged the Rhealukalia magicians into despair, which led to their self-isolation.]
[Since it is a prototype, the power of the combat skill will only be activated when facing a strong enemy who knows super-standard magic, and it will be damaged after one use.]
"This is."
Stellan suddenly smiled, looking at the full moon that was about to fall to the earth, and suddenly a amiable bald head appeared in front of her eyes.
Then, she waved her silver shield towards the moon and whispered the name of her fighting technique.
"[Tops's Force Field]"
The moon that filled the adventurer's eyes disappeared in the next second.
The people who closed their eyes waiting to die slowly opened their eyes, but were surprised to find that the moon was gone and the Full Moon Queen had fallen to the ground!
The people who had watched the whole process with their eyes open stared at Stellan, especially the elves, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Stella... wiped out the moon!?"
This, this is even more shocking than the widely circulated video of Dahl beheading the demons!
People's mental strength suddenly exploded!
The full moon that could destroy everything was wiped out so easily. Is there anything more outrageous than this?
This is something only God can do!
"You, who are you?" Melga asked blankly. She suspected that the person in front of her was a shapeshifter in disguise.
Stellan glanced at her, then suddenly pointed at the queen and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"
The Full Moon Queen's magic was eliminated, and she fell into a time freeze in which she was unable to move. This was a great opportunity. If she didn't act now, when would she act?
Seeing that people were still staring at her stupidly, Stellan was so angry that she laughed. She picked up the pieces of the broken silver shield and threw them at them one by one, which woke up these idiots.
The adventurers finally came to their senses, cheered, and rushed towards the replica tears of the Full Moon Queen like hungry wolves seeing meat.
Behind the adventurer, Stellan picked up the fragments of the silver shield one by one and treated them as treasures.
On this day, news came out that the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic had been cleared.
Along with it came the story of Tops and King Elden.
Ten thousand updates today!
This part of the plot about the magic academy taught me something, and the biggest gain was the rhythm. Looking back, this part of the plot was indeed dragged out, so I had to speed up the plot here. There is still a lot of content that I haven't written down, and maybe I will add to it later.
For me, writing a book is a process of continuous learning. After this exercise, I have learned my lessons and will work hard to get the rhythm of the plot right in the future!
Keep working on it! Keep writing!
Next, I will clean up the academy and finish off the Undead Squad, complete some side quests, and then start a new scene.
"No matter where you are, Irithyll is home."
