Chapter 542: Dire Straits
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the endless depths of the subspace, rlin fell pitifully through space.
rlin’s face was ashen. At first, he thought this was a great stroke of luck but it had turned out to be his doom. That Legend Zado was totally unreasonable as if unconcerned about the rules of Arcane City. If rlin died in this subspace, he would have died for nothing.
However, there was no point in complaining now. Even the black cat Didimoss was unable to contend against the Legend Zado as he was caught in his grasp. If rlin wanted to leave the subspace alive, he would have to be cautious, and do things according to the Legend Zado’s “rules”.
“I know that this subspace is constructed based on the Legend Zado’s Maxim. How co there’s nothing strange?”
rlin carefully extended his Mind Power in all directions but did not seem to sense any Maxim. This was just a subspace, not a dinsion. Even a Great Honored Legend would only be able to create subspace but not a dinsion. Only the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards could form a dinsion!
However, though this was just a subspace, it was endlessly vast. rlin’s Mind Power was unable to detect its end.
“Hehe, young fellow, are you ready? If you are, then first enjoy the Fla Subspace...”
The Legend Zado’s voice reverberated across the endless void. After he spoke, rlin felt that his surroundings were quickly transforming.
“Boom.”
rlin’s world was transford, and he was transported to a subspace filled completely with flas. The raging flas burned on the ground and in the air. The entire space was brimming with a terrifying blaze.
From these flas, rlin discerned the force of a Maxim. He had previously obtained a Fla Maxim as well, so naturally, he was able to tell that these were very powerful Fla Maxims.
“Hoo...”
rlin drew in a hot breath of air as if the flas were absorbed into his body. The surrounding temperature was alarming, and his Enervating Halo would not hold on much longer.
Nonetheless, at this point, rlin cald down. He thought back carefully to the Legend Zado’s words, who had ntioned that after rlin was sent into the Maxim Subspace, he would have to rely on his own strength to survive.
In fact, rlin had co across a subspace constructed from a Maxim before. Back then, Wizard Bammou had survived in the Fla Prison on the Ship of Nikola. Moreover, he had gleaned the Essence of Fire-type spells from the flas of the Fla Prison which contained the force of the Maxim. In that manner, he had constructed a new Eighth-level spell, and used that to withstand the scorching of the Fla Prison.
Nonetheless, it was a bitter and arduous process, and Wizard Bammou was nearly unable to hold on at the end.
“To comprehend the Essence of Fire... Perhaps that’s the only way, and this might be the Legend Zado’s intention.”
rlin eyed the ferocious flas, and countless thoughts occurred to him. The Legend Zado surely had not targeted rlin without reason. By taking the trouble to hurl rlin into the Maxim Subspace, he must wish for rlin to get sothing out of it.
The road to becoming a Legend was challenging. Even if rlin had the Matrix, and even if he had constructed Six-Elental spells, it was of utmost difficulty to beco a Great Wizard, let alone a Great Legend. Therefore, understanding the Essence of Elents would increase his chances of becoming a Great Legend in the future.
This was the Legend Zado’s true purpose!
Still, it was too extre to just instantly throw rlin into the Maxim Subspace. A mont of carelessness might just cause rlin to be burned to ashes by the flas.
“Endless Fla!”
rlin cast the Sixth-level spell Endless Fla. The Spell Model of Endless Fla was practically perfect, though this was only thanks to the function of the Matrix.
What rlin had to do now was to understand the Essence of the Elents, particularly Fire Elent. Before this, because rlin had acquired the Fla Maxim before the rest, he had been imrsed in Fire Elent for a long ti. Thus, he had the deepest understanding of Fire Elent and Darkness Elent.
Nevertheless, in the face of the surging, spitting Fla Maxims, rlin’s Endless Fla was of no use at all. The mont the soaring Endless Fla appeared, it was imdiately suppressed and absorbed by the Fla Maxims, following which it vanished completely.
“The Fla Maxims are too strong. I have no way of blocking them, so my spell must approach the Fla Maxims, hopefully reaching their level.”
rlin’s entire being was imrsed in his understanding of the Fla Maxims. Although these Fla Maxims were blazing stormily, the strange thing was it did not sweep across rlin. It was as if in the entire Fla Subspace, only the place where rlin stood was a safe spot.
...
In the grand, sumptuous hall of the castle, the tall and sturdy Wizard Zado was holding a black cat in his lap, his hands stroking it lightly.
The black cat was like a person, with a “face” that revealed its dissatisfaction. Nonetheless, faced with Wizard Zado, the black cat Didimoss was powerless. It looked like this Great Legend had not reached the level of an Honored Legend yet, he was definitely a preeminent Great Legend below Honored Legends.
Despite the black cat Didimoss’ strength, he was unable to withstand even a blow from the Legend Zado. After all, Didimoss was at best comparable to a Legend with one Maxim. The disparity was far too great.
“It’s been ten days. Little fellow, do you think rlin is able to hold on?”
The Legend Zado asked the black cat in his lap with a humorless smile.
The black cat Didimoss looked at the suspended image in the hall. It showed rlin who was painstakingly hanging on in the Fla Subspace. Ten days was the amount of ti in which the Legend Zado had expressly allowed rlin to gain understanding. Otherwise, rlin would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
Even so, the black cat Didimoss was quite pessimistic and said, “Though Wizard rlin is a prodigy, Legend Zado, I’m afraid that no Spell Caster would be able to succeed in such extre asures.”
“Is that so? Even you, an extraordinary being who goes against the natural order by transforming into a living entity, can appear by rlin’s side. I’m curious as to whether rlin would die so easily. A genius like this, no matter his circumstances, will always find a way out of a predicant... In my long life, I was like this as well. No matter what predicant it was, I would always discover sothing previously unimaginable and obtain incredible benefits in that way. The disciple that I take on must naturally be just like , and rlin is really too similar to .”
The Legend Zado glanced at the black cat Didimoss. He was filled with curiosity about how the black cat Didimoss had transford from a half-spirit into a living state. In the past few days, he had been astutely researching the black cat Didimoss.
Turning into a living form was sothing not even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards could achieve because this involved the natural order! Not even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards were able to control the power of the natural order for it was the foundation on which the millions of dinsions, and even the Void Zone, existed.
“Your ability is swallowing, and you’ll gain a portion of strength from what you swallowed. Although it’s a minute portion, by accumulating over decades, centuries or even a millennium, you’ll certainly grow rapidly to an inconceivable level... Since you’re a lucky one who can reverse the natural order, you can’t be predicted based on conventional reasoning. Not even the Arcane Wizards can forecast your future.”
The Legend Zado seed to be highly interested in the black cat Didimoss. With a great swipe of his hand, he retrieved a colossal monster from an unknown subspace. The monster was covered all over in crimson eyes, with a height of dozens of ters, exuding a wild and ferocious force.
“Heh heh, this is a Thousand-Eye Beast that I’ve captured. It’s comparable to so of the top Great Wizards. I’ve planned on researching it but I’m almost done with it. Here’s a gift for you. Swallow it.”
When the black cat Didimoss saw the Thousand-Eye Beast before him, his eyes imdiately glinted with a green light. It was a look of greed. Just as the Legend Zado had said, the black cat Didimoss, in fact, could still advance further. His ability was to swallow. Only by constantly swallowing powerful forces could Didimoss gradually evolve.
“Swoosh.”
The great mouth of the black cat Didimoss imdiately beca a gigantic pit which gobbled the Thousand-Eye Beast into his stomach in one gulp. Just as it was with the Rock Giant, the black cat Didimoss sprawled across the Legend Zado’s shoulder in satisfaction, beginning to close his eyes as he slowly digested. He seed to have forgotten about rlin.
Wizard Zado smiled, and paid no more attention to the black cat Didimoss. Looking at rlin’s serene expression in the image, the Legend Zado waved abruptly with one hand, mumbling softly, “You should have gained most of the understanding by now. If you still can’t withstand it, then you’re not the disciple I want...”
At this point, Wizard Zado’s eyes were cold and detached.
...
“Hmm?”
In the Fla Subspace, rlin was comprehending the Essence of Fire. In truth, over the past ten days, he had already gained much. He was even confident that if given one or two more months, he would surely understand even more, and might be able to forcibly contend against the Fla Maxims.
However, the surrounding Fla Maxims suddenly flared up, and waves of heat rolled toward him furiously. He instantly knew that the Legend Zado must not be “protecting” him anymore.
Over the ten days, the Fla Maxims had been of no threat to rlin. He guessed that this was the Legend Zado’s help. However, the Legend Zado seed to think that he had sufficient ti by now, and was no longer aiding rlin, allowing the Fla Maxims to sweep across him.
The true test is only coming now!
“Boom!”
Boundless flas wrapped around rlin instantly. rlin had Enervating Halo as well as Endless Fla. This ti around, Endless Fla would not be suppressed and absorbed so easily, but when faced with the Fla Maxims, it still could not put up any effective resistance.
rlin was crying out in his heart, “Give more ti, I’ll surely succeed...”
Nonetheless, the Legend Zado would not give him any more ti. rlin was in a tight situation.
Traces of the Fla Maxims began to burrow into rlin’s body, turning him into ashes from the outside. Even rlin’s Thunder Maxim was powerless when confronted with nurous Fla Maxims.
Ten days were totally insufficient for rlin to understand the Essence of Fire, to say nothing of coming up with an effective defense.
At this point, rlin was in dire straits. In monts like this, so people would fall silent, while so would erupt without inhibitions. rlin was evidently the latter.
“I don’t care. Since the Matrix can absorb the power of Maxims to derive spells, it can surely absorb the endless Fla Maxims that fill up this place! It must!”
With anticipation burning in his eyes, rlin, in this most deadly situation as if at the end of the rope, imdiately activated the Matrix!
