Chapter 458: The Miracle of Magic (5/5)

Mu Lengxi nodded her head without any hesitation.

Liu Yu asked once again, “Can you do spatial severance? Something like isolating Field Marshal Awesomo into a tiny space?”

Without any thought, Mu Lengxi immediately nodded.

Liu Yu heaved a sigh of relief but he meticulously asked for confirmation, “While Sunless is moving quickly and randomly, can you precisely isolate her from Field Marshal Awesomo, and trap Field Marshal Awesomo in an independent space? Can you really do that?”

Mu Lengxi nodded her head as if it was taken for granted. Her helpless-looking eyes seemed to say, ‘Can you go straight to the point and cut the nonsense?’

Liu Yu faltered secretly.

She was indeed a genuine king of super rookies.

But due to his meticulous personality, he immediately asked an extremely crucial question, “Then, last question, how long can you trap Field Marshal Awesomo?”

The question finally made Mu Lengxi ponder for a moment. After contemplating her own abilities, she stretched a finger out.

Liu Yu said in astonishment, “Just one minute?”

It was pretty excellent for a young mage like her to be able to trap Field Marshal Awesomo for a minute, but one minute was not enough!

Just as Liu Yu was somewhat disappointed, Mu Lengxi shook her head in a speechless manner. She looked at him with a disdainful look. It indicated that one minute was simply belittling her.

Liu Yu immediately said in pleasant surprise, “That can’t be. Could it be an hour?”

Mu Lengxi shook her head as she pouted angrily.

That look was extremely adorable, but Liu Yu was only left in shock.

It was not one minute, nor was it an hour.

Could it be…

“One…one day?”

When he said those two words, Liu Yu felt like smacking himself in the face.

How stupid was he to say one day?

“Spatial Severance’ was a channeling spell which needed mental energies to be constantly injected into it. To be able to last an hour despite such intense consumption yet guaranteeing that Field Marshal Awesomo could not free himself was heaven-defying.

But a day? Why haven’t you ascended to heaven?

Liu Yu denigrated in his heart, but when he saw Mu Lengxi nod her head slowly, that adorable expression seemed to say, ‘How stupid are you to only realize that’.

Liu Yu stared agape and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Heh, this lass looked rather cute, but who knew that she liked to brag this much?

Liu Yu found it unbelievable but he did not know what to say. Although he did not understand much about magic, he knew how ridiculous it was to conjure a channeling spell for an hour. However, now wasn’t the time to debate about the matter.

Of course, the moment he fell into a daze, the silver-haired girl stared at him viciously once again.

“Cough, actually being able to maintain it for ten minutes is sufficient, but of course, maintaining it for an hour would be more assuring.”

Liu Yu did not dare waste any time as he said, “Then, now use your magic to isolate Field Marshal Awesomo. The time needed to chant such a high-level spell like Spatial Severance might be a bit long, so…”

Just as Liu Yu wanted to tell her to do her best at reducing the time it took to chant the spell incantation, he noticed that Mu Lengxi had taken an aged spellbook from her backpack and quickly flipped it open.

The instant the spellbook was flipped open, a six-pointed star runic formation bloomed from the spellbook like colorful petals.

Mu Lengxi stretched out a finger towards the battle in the distance.

Liu Yu turned his head in disbelief as he saw a colorful sprinkling of light. The sword Sunless slashed out seemed to hit an invisible wall and was blocked.

And Field Marshal Awesomo who was kneeling on the ground seemed to notice something. He suddenly looked up and roared angrily. He suddenly raised his battle axe and cleaved it into the air, but his cleave halfway was blocked by an invisible barrier.

The formless and invisible spatial barrier only produced a fleeting fluctuation like a ripple.

Without a doubt, the scene that befell everyone’s eyes was the phenomenon created by ‘Spatial Severance’.

But, but…what about the spell incantation?

Ignoring the spell incantation, Mu Lengxi did not even open her mouth!

Holy shit, doesn’t she need to do an incantation?

Furthermore, she was able to instantly use such high-level magic like ‘Spatial Severance’?

Was this fucking magic?

Could she fucking still be considered a mage?

Eh, that’s not right. Isn’t Mu Lengxi…a mute?

Liu Yu finally thought of the foolish question that could be considered a blind spot.

Since Mu Lengxi was a mute, how could she chant a spell incantation?

This problem should be something he should have realized from the beginning!

So she did not chant?

But, isn’t a mage that doesn’t need to chant a bug in reality?

Liu Yu’s mind was filled with ‘holy shit’.

“Pa!”

Suddenly, when he felt like his head was being smashed in by something, Liu Yu was jolted awake and realized that Mu Lengxi had used the spellbook to smack him in the head. She was looking anxious and was constantly pointing in the direction of Sunless.

Liu Yu suddenly remembered what was important. He turned his head and saw that not only was Field Marshal Awesomo attacking the spatial barrier, even Sunless was also maniacally striking the spatial barrier. She was abnormally furious with the ‘Spatial Severance’ that prevented her from killing Field Marshal Awesomo.

Fractures began appearing in the spatial barrier from their assaults as though it was glass that could shatter at any moment. Clearly, it was unable to withstand the full force of the two.

Mu Lengxi’s expression appeared in pain, but her eyes were filled with determination. The spellbook in her hand was blooming with resplendent radiance as she constantly repaired the spatial barrier that was about to shatter.

Liu Yu jumped in fright as he hurriedly shouted, “Sunless, quickly stop! Now that Field Marshal Awesomo is being isolated in an independent space, quickly use your superpower and extract all the air from it! Suffocate him to death!”

That was the brilliant plan Liu Yu had come up with.

Sunless’ superpower, ‘Air Abjuration’ had very little use in battle, because she could only remove a fixed amount of air in a small region of space. It was basically useless against moving enemies.

But this attack was a deathblow to enemies that could not move!

No matter how powerful Field Marshal Awesomo’s vitality and recovery was, there was no way he could survive if he did not have air! Although suffocating needed a rather long period of time, it was definitely better than not being able to kill him and causing him to constantly become stronger!

Sunless naturally understood that but her eyes flashed in disgruntlement. If it was possible, she did not want Shi Xiaobai to risk his life for even a second, but she could not help but admit that it was very unlikely that she could kill Field Marshal Awesomo. The method Liu Yu took the liberty to implement was the best method.

Sunless sighed and began using ‘Air Abjuration’ in the independent space that trapped Field Marshal Awesomo.

As such, it was a flip of the coin of fate. It was two completely different fates whether Field Marshal Awesomo would first suffocate or if Shi Xiaobai would be killed by the ‘God Slaughtering Formation’.

And what she could only do now was to sincerely pray for him.

Sunless took a few steps back as she lowered her head. There was a trace of exhaustion in her eyes. The way she suddenly turned silent made her resemble a quietly blooming azure lotus. It was as if the storm from being with tumultuous thunder and lightning was just an illusion of the rest.

Having been isolated in a vacuum, Field Marshal Awesomo finally could not appear as calm as before. The light green skin on his face gradually turned purple with the passage of time. He began sucking in big mouthfuls of air that did not exist. His eyes were slowly turning white as he brandished his battle axe while striking the spatial barrier with a grimacing look. He was struggling maniacally with all he got.

Fractures constantly appeared on the spatial barrier as though it was about to shatter, but it managed to withstand Field Marshal Awesomo’s attacks before his death. Furthermore, the power of magic was constantly repairing it, so it formed a balance with the damage.

Liu Yu was extremely astonished. Field Marshal Awesomo’s strength was much stronger than before despite being ‘abused’ by Sunless. It had exceeded his expectations, but the silver-haired girl beside him was still able to perfectly carry out her mission. She responded in an outstanding manner towards his extremely risky plan that had no room for mistake.

She indeed lived up to being the king of super rookies.

However, the biggest problem now was whether she could last till Field Marshal Awesomo died completely?

Liu Yu glanced to his side. Mu Lengxi’s forehead was covered in beads of sweat. Clearly, constantly repairing the spatial barrier was not an easy task, but she looked calm and composed. She was apparently not bragging when she indicated that she could last an entire day.

A mage like her, who did not need to chant spell incantations and had precise control over magic, as well as unimaginable amount of mana and mental energies, was practically a lost goddess of magic. She bestowed miracles on the human world!

“All the best.” Liu Yu sighed in his heart.

I’m really sorry to place such a heavy task on you. But now, the coin of victory is held in your hands!
