As soon as he heard Nozamaβs words, Link was instantly shocked.
Whenever Nozama said this in the game, it meant that he would cast the large-scale attack spell, Storm of Death.
Storm of Death
Level-19 Legendary Spell
Effect: Spell unique to Nozama. It uses the heavily chaotic power of the Abyss to create countless high-speed vortices. The countless vortices then form a giant magic vortex that stretches as far as one can see. Everything inside the vortex is crushed to powder.
(Note: When the windstorm appears, death follows!)
In the foreign Fedaro, this spell was only around Level-13, but it was still a terrifying force. Under this spell, around 5000 miles of forest would be destroyed. Even if they didnβt die, they would still have nowhere to hide.
Romeon saw Linkβs strange expression and hurriedly asked, βWhat, is he really powerful?β
Link nodded tersely while his mind whirred. By now, Nozamaβs body had already changed. Black light shone around him. The light surged from all directions and rushed towards his body. They were so fast that these lights seemed to form a whirlpool too.
In the game, it took three seconds to cast the Storm of Death. It didnβt give Link much time to react.
A second later, Link knew he couldnβt keep hesitating. He had to leave now. Turning towards Romeon, he asked, βIs it north?β
βYes, that direction.β Romeon pointed somewhere northwest.
Linkβs power surged, and he used a teleportation spell. White light flashed, covering them all. Buzz. The light disappeared, but they were still there.
βWhatβs wrong?β Romeon was shocked. He knew this spell, but it was actually ineffective now.
Link grew serious. βThe space is locked… Thereβs no time. Heβs going to cast the spell!β
While speaking, Linkβs back trembled. A pair of dragon wings more than 30 feet wide opened. They curled around everyone present and covered them, forming a sealed dragon wing shield.
Almost at the same time, Nozamaβs voice mixed with aggressive aura yelled, βLet death devour all!β
Link looked up. The entire sky was black. It was afternoon, but it seemed to be night. In the dark and sunless sky, Nozama suddenly reached out, pressing downward. Boom. Countless dark purple vortices appeared out of nowhere. They spread, covering Linkβs vision.
Whoosh, whoosh… Death…destruction…devour… The wind screamed and had countless hoarse roars mixed in. Listening closely, one could hear many chilling wails. It was as if there was a deep abyss before them, filled with countless miserable souls trying to escape. Their freedom was restricted by something and could only reach a handout, grappling and dragging the creatures living in the light to the dark abyss to taste the misery together.
In this windstorm, mountains were flattened, trees were crushed, and stones were pulverized. An instant later, the wind pressed down on Linkβs wings.
That moment, Link felt boundless pressure weighing down on him, trying to crush him. He couldnβt do anything or even budge. He could only grit his teeth and bear it.
The crystallized dragon scales were abnormally tough. They were immune to all spells under Level-18. This spell from Nozama was only at Level-14. Because of the large scale, Link felt pressure, but it still couldnβt break through the wingsβ protection.
One second, two seconds, three… The windstorm was still raging. Outside the wings, tidal waves crashed, and the storm ravaged the world. Inside the wings, it was quiet and calm like a safe refuge.
The people protected by the wingsβmortal Magician Dadara, the demons, and Protector Romeonβwere all shocked by Nozamaβs crazy power. They were also surprised by Linkβs tough body. Both Nozama and the dragon all had a power unimaginable by mere mortals!
Ten seconds later, the windstorm started weakening. A bit later, the storm subsided. Link opened his wings and looked at its surface. It was covered with all types of dust. He shook his wings, and the dust fell down. The wings were completely undamaged. The surface was only a bit hot.
Theyβd been surrounded by tall mountains and forests. Looking around, he saw that it had now turned into a huge plain. All that remained was scorched black dirt with dark aura rising up from it.
The only living things were the grass and flowers in the six-foot-wide area around Link. But under the corrosion of the dark aura, they were quickly wilting. With nowhere to hide, Linkβs group was exposed to Nozama.
Nozama slowly descended. He smiled faintly, but his blood-red eyes were still cold. βYou hid well, Ferde lord. My spell couldnβt break through your scales. You always surprise me.β
As he spoke, a black sword appeared in his hands. It was thin and narrowβonly five centimeters wide but six feet long. The swordβs back was black and didnβt reflect any light while the blade was silver. When he brandished the sword, one could only see a silver streak.
Link recognized it. It was the weapon Nozama was proudest ofβHeroic Calamity.
Hero Calamity
Level-19 Legendary Weapon
Effect: Incredibly sharp! Incredibly light! Incredibly fast!
(Note: For millenniums, everyone who had died by this sword had once been praised as a hero.)
Seeing this sword, Link felt like heβd truly met a great enemy.
Lord of the Deep Nozama was at the pinnacle of Level-19, but he wasnβt the only one in the world. Later in the game, Glorious Warlord Avatar, Half-elf Eliard, and human Kanorse had all reached similar levels. However, of everyone at the Legendary level, Nozama was at the top. He was truly the first of all Legendary figures.
In the game, these three had all fought against Nozama. In the end, the Glorious Warlord had fallen, Kanorse had died, and Eliard had come away badly hurt. These great costs had only injured Nozama instead of killing him.
Nozama had lived for too long. Heβd completely grasped the secrets of power. He was an expert in all spells and battle techniques. He could easily use any technique. Anything he had was precious and world-shaking. He also had countless demon followers.
In the realm, he could definitely be known as βinvincible.β If he insisted on staying inside the realm, even a god couldnβt do anything to him.
Now, Link had to personally face this man. Even though he had so much battle experience, he still felt horrible pressure. The pressure came from the otherβs power.
Link was at Level-10, while Nozama was most likely at Level-14. He was completely defeated in terms of power. He still had some Omni Points to buy higher level spells, but he didnβt have enough power to cast them. They were useless.
It was hopeless!
Thud. Nozama landed and looked at the people beside Link. βThe six Magicians are probably your summoners, right? They help bear the realmβs resistance, so you can have Legendary Pinnacle power. Even so, thereβs no reason for them to keep living.β
With that, the Magicians, including Dadara, collapsed. Not only that, their bodies instantly started decaying. Puss oozed, and maggots came out. They didnβt die yet; they could only watch their bodies rot. This was terrifying, and they all wailed.
βMaster, save me, save me!β
Link was their last bit of hope, but Link was helpless. He didnβt even know how Nozama had cast the spell. Their difference was too large. Regardless of whether it was power itself or Nozamaβs power, they couldnβt be compared.
Looking at Link, Nozama smiled. βYoung man, thereβs no need to feel sad for them. Youβll quickly be in the same situationβno need to feel humiliated either. When I was your age, I was still a loser in the capital who spent his days drinking and f*cking. But youβre already qualified to stand before me. Thatβs a great honor!β
Capital? Drinking and f*cking? Those two phrases made Linkβs heart twitch, but he didnβt have time to think now. Once the summoners died, the realmβs resistance towards him would multiply tenfold. His power would be greatly restricted; he would only be at Level-6.
Faced with Nozama in Level-14, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. There was no chance.
Nozama didnβt hurry. He smiled at the two demons. βGaulle and Gamiwa, you two didnβt disappoint me. Surrendering temporarily for survival is normal. Us demons are always like that. But since you surrendered, you must pay for it. You two…β
Plop, plop! Before Nozama could finish, the two demons had already fainted from fear.
βHow embarrassing.β Nozama shook his head and prepared to act.
βWait!β another voice said. It was Romeon.
Nozama looked over and chuckled. βThe so-called Protector of the realm? Youβre pretty handsome, much better than when I was young. Sadly, from my youth to now, Iβve always hated people who look better than me. So…Iβm sorry.β
He waved his sword carelessly towards Romeon. But halfway through, a sword blocked it with a ding.
It was Link.
Heβd used all his power to block this hit. He was pressed onto the ground by the swordβs power too. If his body wasnβt at Level-13, he would have died on the spot from this force.
Feeling the difference between their power, even the determined Link felt a shred of despair.
Will it really end now?
