Wizard Bloodline

"Your tough talk is just like Benigo's," Lanny said indifferently.

Ronan couldn't help but laugh, "One would think it was Benigo who got beaten to the ground so many times, not you..."

Lanny's expression froze, and in the next moment, a surging, intense killing intent erupted from his gray eyes.

"Quicksand of Delay!"

A rune pattern glowed in Lanny's gray eyes.

He spat coldly, releasing the terrifying mental power of a mid-second-level wizard and the transcendent domain force surrounding him.

Instinctively, Ronan crossed his twin swords, the blazing Dispelling Flames guarding him.

"Whoosh—"

As the mental and domain forces enveloped him, Ronan felt as if he were being hit head-on by a violent sandstorm.

"Creak, creak—"

The Despair Domain he released from his core groaned under the strain.

This was a direct clash of transcendent domains. Ronan's "four-domain" Despair Domain might exceed Lanny's in intensity.

But the gap in mental power and his current mastery of ice energy particles was too vast.

The "four-domain" power was weakened to its extreme, like a fragile ice shell struck by a massive stone.

This was the merciless crushing of sheer strength.

"Transcendent domains are like swords, but without strength, how do you wield them?"

"Mental power is the true foundation of a wizard's strength!"

Lanny sneered at Ronan, who had withdrawn his Despair Domain, now without a trace of cold surrounding him, "Didn't Benigo even tell you this?"

With that, he flickered his gaze, and the ground beneath them crumbled into large masses, transforming into a cloud of brown sand that surged upward toward Ronan.

Ronan swung his twin swords, the Dispelling Flames carving large swathes through the sand curtain.

Yet the sand still fell upon Ronan.

In an instant, Ronan's expression changed.

The sand on him caused no harm, but each grain felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, weighing him down, making even the slightest movement feel infinitely more difficult.

"Painful, isn't it?"

Lanny continued to manipulate the sandstone beneath his feet, sending waves into the air, merging into his domain, crashing towards Ronan.

"This is my domain.

Delayed force, even twitching a finger requires overcoming the land and the weight of the spell-laden sand on you."

Ronan remained expressionless, still trying to maneuver his swords.

But more and more Delaying Sand enveloped him, like brown tendrils wrapping around him.

"Ding—"

A sound like crystal striking.

The silver arm ring on Lanny's right arm melted, transforming into a heavy, elegant silver crystal sword.

He gripped the hilt lightly with both hands, stepping towards Ronan, who was nearly buried in the sand, only his eyes visible.

"I'll cut your face with this sword."

Lanny spoke calmly, the scar on his face seeming to writhe as he moved.

"This scar is the shame Benigo left me, now..."

Lanny stood before Ronan, his eyes now buried in sand.

He raised the heavy sword high, poised to strike, eyes cold, voice chilling, "I gift it to you!"

Terrifying energy surged into Lanny's sword.

His metal medium was a special crystal-like metal, the heavy sword gleaming like a crafted artifact.

Now, infused with countless energy particles, it shone with an earthen glow, adding a daunting weight to its sharpness.

"&@@&!"

Lanny spat a short syllable, malice flashing on his face, bringing the sword down on the sand-covered figure.

Before the sword fell, its energy distorted the air, carving trails that reached the watching Ring wizards, who recoiled in shock.

A mid-second-level wizard like Lanny, especially a fourth-ring wizard who mastered a transcendent domain, was at a high level in soul sigils, combat talent, and spell understanding.

When fully unleashed, the power was overwhelming.

What use is a bright new star?

The gap in raw power was clear, and your greatest strength might only reach another's weakness, possibly surpassing it slightly, but overall, you'd be utterly crushed!

The silver bat Biondini silently watched, its gem-like eyes flickering.

It seemed to weigh whether to stop the battle.

Yet as Lanny's sword fell, and everyone thought the battle was ending, with the unstoppable Ronan about to meet a painful, bloody defeat...

"Crackle—"

A sound like rapid burning.

"Hmm?!"

Lanny's eyes showed surprise, but he didn't halt his sword.

As the earthen sword was about to strike the sand figure's head, suddenly—

A fierce white flame burst from the brown sand.

The flame opened a gap in the thick sand shell, widening at an incredible speed.

Then "Boom!"

An indescribable heat wave erupted from the sand shell, leaving countless burn marks in the air.

Fire!

White fire!

Lanny's eyes were filled with pure white flames, his pupils constricting, unable to believe his sword was stopped.

Something held it fast, as if it had rooted into the ground!

The thick sand shell exploded into grains, revealing a figure bathed in a foot-long white flame.

The figure was like a blazing furnace, smelting a thousand magic steels, the surrounding air collapsing, distorted into a suffocating pressure.

And Lanny's rooted sword was gripped by the figure's hands.

The figure lifted his head, revealing calm blue eyes, softly saying, "Keep the scar for yourself."

"Want me to make another cut on your face for an 'X'?"

The handsome youth in the white flame quipped, leaving Lanny stunned, seeing the youth smile.

In the next moment, an unprecedented sense of crisis hit Lanny like a thousand needles, his scalp tingling, before he could react, a white flame-wreathed fist filled his vision.

"Bang!"

Lanny flew into the air, his body briefly suspended.

Then, head first, he was flung backward like a falling star.

A blurred white figure pursued, faster than his flight!

"Thud! Crack—"

A heavy blow's sound, mixed with a bone-cracking snap.

Lanny flew in another direction, his face bloodied, his former dominance and calm gone.

"Core Ring!"

He raised a hand in anger and panic, a brown ring on his finger shining brightly.

"[Super Gravity]!"

He roared the words, the ring's light merging into his domain, the Delaying Force strengthening nearly double!

Countless rocks burst into sand, surging skyward, enveloping the blurred figure that had slowed slightly.

"Whoosh—Whoosh—"

Lanny stood, breathing heavily to calm his anger, shock, and cold rage.

"Go!"

Lanny wiped the blood from his face, his broken nose healing, eyeing the sand-mounded figure, extending a hand, the arm ring disintegrating into particles charging the mound.

But just as he reinforced the "Delaying Mountain," an indescribable force erupted from within.

The mound exploded, revealing Ronan's slender figure.

Lanny's face darkened.

"Hiss—"

Ronan inhaled deeply, washing the dust taste from his senses with fresh air.

Bathed in the [Immaculate Body]'s white flame, he felt a sense of liberation.

Three months of relentless training, returning to the Secret Garden to face the twisted figure...

Had honed him to master level 450!

The life force within him had expanded to the size of a head.

The energy was thrice what it was three months ago!

Ronan exhaled, shaping Demon Tungsten into swords, the silver mist seeming to draw in souls.

His gaze pierced the mist to Lanny, calmly speaking, "Ready for me to replace Benigo, as your new 'nightmare'?"

Lanny's face twitched, a flash of malice in his eyes.

He glared at Ronan, hands forming complex spell gestures.

Suddenly, new mysterious energies surged from him, intertwining with the Delaying Force, indistinguishable.

"Whoosh—"

A more complex, profound, and grand transcendent domain spread from Lanny.

In an instant, all nearby sand and stone exploded, becoming pure sand in the field, forming a massive, rotating millstone!

"Dual Domain Overlay!"

"Delaying Mill!"

Lanny's face twisted, exuding overwhelming momentum, brown lightning-like lights dancing around him, emitting terrifying energy.

The millstone turned, grinding all, seemingly crushing air and light.

The energy reached the ground, cracking it with massive fissures.

"Even Benigo would kneel before me now!"

Lanny roared, veins bulging.

His gray hair whipped wildly, the terrifying aura stirring a fierce wind, decades of repressed emotions unleashed!

At this moment, Lanny showed the true power of the sixth tower's master.

Mid-second-level wizard, dual transcendent domain overlay, a force that made second-level wizards tremble in fear, waves of energy sweeping the area, spectators retreating, Lanny's figure merging with the high domain millstone, towering like a mountain lord!

Ronan faced a towering mountain.

He stared at Lanny, hearing his hysterical roar.

Then, the white flames on Ronan's body receded, drawn within.

"Time's up?"

Lanny peered down, laughter like stones grinding.

"No."

Ronan shook his head, softly saying, "Since you mentioned Benigo, I thought of another way to defeat you...

Benigo isn't as weak as you think."

Ronan looked at Lanny, calmly saying, "Dual domains are nice, but compared to Benigo... you're far off."

"Shatter, along with your teeth and tongue."

Lanny's eyes cold, he dismissed Ronan's words, the dual-domain millstone spinning faster, rolling towards Ronan, space fracturing.

Facing the terrifying blow, Ronan seemed unaffected, no expression change.

"Torrent."

He softly muttered, pointing.

Instantly, countless energy particles converged into a black torrent of over 440 particles.

"You think that can stop me?"

Lanny scoffed, the dual-domain millstone accelerating, grinding loudly, nearing Ronan's [Particle Torrent], which seemed ready to collapse.

Ronan stood firm, saying something cryptic.

"Do you know of a silent river that flattens all?"

"Hmm?!"

Lanny frowned.

"Never mind, you'll see soon."

Ronan raised his head, the [Mirror Light] sigil in his mindspace flashing, doubling the black torrent to 900 particles.

"Anyway... you'll see."

Ronan softly spoke, drawing a line with his finger.

As the line formed, his blue eyes shimmered with rainbow hues.

Boosted by [Mirror Light], the gap closed, breaking the barriers ahead...

A mysterious energy, ten times denser, flowed from Ronan's fingers.

In an instant, all sound vanished, the millstone stopped, the wind ceased...

Energy particles within miles seemed drained!

Even the rune array lights dimmed.

The black torrent before Ronan transformed into a rainbow river.

The river calm as a mirror, silent, like a mythical rainbow river under a summer night's sky.

Beautiful, enchanting, dreamlike...

Its appearance captivated all, their souls immersed in its oil-paint-like colors.

In Sibeert's All-Seeing Orb, there was such a place.

—A natural energy-absorbing array, constantly drawing energy particles.

The vast particles formed gas, then liquid, divided into seven distinct streams, merging into the world's most magnificent rainbow energy river!

The river flowed silently, with no waves, yet held crushing power.

Nature's might, the Creator's art!

Ronan blinked, his blue eyes now vibrant rainbows, reflecting Lanny's stunned figure.

He snapped his fingers, the mysterious rainbow river flowing silently toward Lanny, carrying the force to wash, shatter, and destroy all.

"A domain resonance."

"This move."

Ronan calmly declared, "I call it—[Sibeert's Rainbow River]!"

In an instant.

As the rainbow river flowed.

The third-level wizard on the duel square opened his eyes, his aged gaze filled with a new light, turning to the battlefield.

Elsewhere, beneath the silver tower, the nine gray meditation towers glowed strongly as the terrifying energy emerged.

Powerful mental forces rose, f

igures appearing atop the towers, looking toward the river.

In the deepest meditation tower, nearest the silver tower, in the dense darkness, a seated figure quietly opened their eyes.

Gem-like eyes shone, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

"A domain resonance..."

"The Seventh Ring... finally has an interesting figure."
