Chapter 731: Genuine and Fake
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At that mont, Grant did not make any unnecessary moves, but rather raised that rune character to form a cross, aiming at the crystal ball that was falling from great heights.
A golden glow enveloped over. In a flash, the falling crystal ball halted in the air, as if it was hit with the pause button.
Grant frowned.
... That easy?
And right at this mont, streams of water surged and crashed into the suppressed elental windstorm. Instantly, the elental windstorm expanded once again with the boost of water elents. The golden glow couldn’t seem to hold it any further.
"You..." Grant realized sothing was amiss and stared at Benjamin.
"It looks as though you really want this water crystal ball? It’s quite alright, I’ll give it to you. It’s not as if the academy couldn’t replicate a pile of this." Benjamin smiled, "Apart from this, I still could gift you a huge ball."
After his proclamation, more water elents gushed into the elental windstorm. The golden glow was still earnestly suppressing but the expansion of the elental windstorm was simply unstoppable. In a blink of an eye, it filled the entire sky. Grant could only take the backseat as solemnity was written all over his face.
Within this violent elental windstorm, he could even feel that so sort of transformation was brewing silently.
From the outside, it was a huge golden balloon, continuously expanding, expanding... Any larger, and it may explode!
Grant made efforts to distance himself from this dangerous storm.
"Scared already?" Benjamin let out cold smile, "Then... Why don’t you try this?"
He suddenly pulled out a cloth bag and opened it up. In it were water elental crystals. An approximate count would have it around the twenties.
Ever since he learnt the Elental Order - Destroy; honestly speaking, Benjamin has yet to allow the elental windstorm expand to this stage. At the mont, although he could control with considerable difficulty with the rune but the enormous being in front of him was at the verge of losing control. If it wasn’t due to the layer of golden glow that was pushing against it, it would be quite a bit of magic whirling around.
Now, if Benjamin were to toss in a bag of water elental crystals...
"Have you lost your mind?"
Grant’s expression imdiately changed. He extended his arm to lightly dab, removing the golden glow that was suppressing the elental windstorm. Soon, the elental windstorm was spreading out like a black hole. He then slowly gave a push that the cross of holy light leaped over to the expanding elental windstorm.
He intends to forcefully extinguish this windstorm?
Benjamin did not hesitate any longer and flung the water elental crystals over!
From afar, the entire scenery was engulfed by this elental windstorm. That enormous ball shaped windstorm was more radiant than the sun, as if harnessing energy to destroy the river valley. The cross pushed on by Grant and the twenty sothing water elental crystals were simply too small.
However, after a few seconds, the two were inhaled into the elental windstorm. It was the beginning of a transformation!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A series of explosions was coming from the windstorm. There seed to be a horrible chemical reaction happening deep within. That expanding windstorm suddenly halted spreading and started to shrink at the speed of light.
Benjamin couldn’t help but drop his jaw.
What was happening...
He could sense a hint of destruction coming from the windstorm. Just as he wanted to seize control over this thingy that contained unknown quantities of water elents, it had already broken away from his control.
— Even when he dispersed the rune, the elental windstorm did not show any signs of slowing down, it continued to shrink and transmitting strings crackling sounds internally as waves of pressuring magic oscillation spread out.
"Enough... You only know how to get things out of hand and never thought when to stop."
Grant’s voice was filled with rage. At that mont, he took out a string with a golden pendant from his robe. He raised the pendant and proceeded to smash the sapphire within.
A white light then shone from his raised hand. He faced the palm of his hand at the elental windstorm. The white ray was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, penetrating the shrinking elental windstorm to its core.
The windstorm ceased condensing. It seed as though that ray restrained it.
"This bastard... Just how many secret weapons does he have?"
Benjamin’s brows were tied in a knot. There wasn’t many seconds left for "Descending of Water" and the elental windstorm before him was the one thing he was counting on. If it was overca, then the battle today would be certain defeat.
However, because the elental windstorm was restrained, Benjamin could sense the inclination of losing control was disappearing — He could finally regain control over that elental windstorm created by the rune.
Hence, he draw another string of rune characters and controlled the elental windstorm to head towards Grant.
"It’s no use. You can’t kill ."
Grant kept his cool over this. The ray of light in his hand was still ongoing. Under the illumination of the ray, the elental windstorm started to wither.
Benjamin could feel a similar scent of the elental plane coming from the ray. It was mixed with so sort of higher law power that even the most violent elent could do no harm.
How fearful...
The Church could already develop such magic tools?
No, it wasn’t so typical magic tool or else the System would have seen the related blueprint during that mont of prying. Benjamin could not explain what sort of energy it was but he guessed that this thing must be a precious item from the elental plane and could not be duplicated.
Seeing how Grant sacrificed such a valuable item, Benjamin did not have to hold back.
"... Alright, then let’s test that theory."
As he controlled the elental windstorm, he took out the real water crystal ball.
Activate and toss..... The entire process was done with such fluidity and completed in re seconds. However, Benjamin’s aim was not Grant but rather the elental windstorm.
— He had handed over the water crystal ball to Morris to research. Morris had attempted to duplicate but was left with a pile of failures, just as the fake he tossed earlier. What Morris had said about it was that this water crystal ball contained so elents he couldn’t decipher, that could stand outside the law of magic.
Such an existence could not be bounded by that ray of white light.
Benjamin did not dare to hold back any longer. Even if after today, this unique water crystal ball would be no more, he could not allow Grant to monopolize this battle!
And so, as just the withering elental windstorm was at halfway at its peak; with a whoosh, the activated water crystal ball flew into it.
The few seconds of silence, was the calm before the storm.
What ensued, was a loud bang.
