Chapter 4: Sorry, I Was Just Joking!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They had already witnessed the power of the Rain of Corrosion a moment ago. The stable and persistent black cloud covered an area that spanned over ten thousand meters.
Even the notorious Ten Forbidden Spells of their continent could not compare to that skill just now.
And now, this man actually said there were dozens of similar forbidden spells in his arsenal, and had even told them of the existence of spells that surpassed the forbidden spells! How incredible would they be?!
Seeing Rennes’ elegant and easy-going smile, the Archmages almost thought they were looking at their own fathers.
They did not have a shred of doubt in their minds. Their eyes were filled with fanatical desire.
They could sense that the soil irrigated by the heavy rain was filled with vitality and overflowing with magic power.
So much so that they had subconsciously ignored the 100,000 corpses buried under the soil.
Their minds had been completely occupied by the blonde-haired youth from the Abyss.
At first glance, the man seemed like he could use the elemental powers of water, darkness, and death at the same time. Most mages would think that he was just a three-element mage.
But the five of them were Archmages, the most powerful mages on the continent.
Henry, who had the most profound knowledge of magic, was the first to discover that the land was actually giving birth to a new life.
The soil was filled with magic, and magic plants grew out of it. This soil also contained the three magic elements of earth, wood, and life.
In other words, apart from the common water, earth, and wood elements, the man in front of them could also control the rare dark, death, and life elements.
Before this, when the young man teleported into the air, Henry did not feel any magic fluctuation.
He and the other four Archmages had a discussion with each other through a spiritual link.
What they concluded once again left everyone stunned, especially Henry, who had the deepest knowledge of magic. His expression had already started to become crazed and twisted.
The man in front of them was actually a six-element mage with talent in spatial magic as well!
What kind of concept was that?
The person currently in control of the Raytheon Empire was a dual-element mage who simultaneously controlled the power of thunder and wind, two types of natural elements.
Wind and thunder were both common magic elements. Be it in rarity or difficulty of learning, they could not begin to compare to the dark element, let alone the two legendary elements of life and death.
Even so, dual-element mages were already considered people with amazing potential on the Arnold magic continent.
Henry himself, as well as the other four archmages present, were all single-element mages.
They now looked at Rennes with great respect. At the same time, they were secretly gauging Rennes’ true strength.
A six-element mage who could effortlessly cast a forbidden spell. He should be at the very least a ten-star Archmage!
Even if they joined forces and fought him head-on, they would have no chances of winning.
This was because, after reaching the realm of Archmage, the gap between each rank was as big as the gap between heaven and earth. When the gap was too big, there was simply no way to make up for it.
What if they tried to run away?
All of them more or less had some precious magic scrolls with spatial teleportation properties in their possession, but against an Archmage with spatial talent…
Once the opponent wrecked the space, they would be sucked into a spatial turbulence. Even Archmages would not be able to survive that.
By now, the Archmages had completely given up on the idea of fighting Rennes head-on, as well as the idea of running away.
They could not understand how a five-star Archmage from the Noah Kingdom could summon such a monster.
Of course, with their brains, they could never have imagined that this man did not actually come from the Abyss, but from another dimension instead.
“As long as we acknowledge you as our master, we can learn spells that are as strong as forbidden spells?”
The brown-haired mage, Henry, asked enthusiastically.
“Of course. As long as you want to learn it, I will teach you, no matter which element it is,” said Rennes with a swing of his hand.
The next instant, countless flames lit up around his body. They were colorful and looked like blazing roses.
Seeing this scene, the mouths of the five Archmages opened so wide that entire pieces of black bread could fit inside.
What kind of magic power was this?!
The lifelike roses were slowly burning, blooming together with other elements that contradicted each other.
Such a powerful control of magic!
“Oh my God!”
“Am I seeing things?”
“Light, dark, time, space, wind, fire, water, earth, wood, thunder, death, life…”
“All-element! An all-element Archmage! He’s actually an all-element Archmage!”
Sensing the different elements in the burning magic flowers, the Archmages wished they could touch them with their own hands.
In their eyes, this was a miracle!
On the magic continent, a six-element Archmage could already be considered the greatest existence of an era.
Even in the most glorious golden age, when there were many mages who mastered multiple elements, a seven-element Archmage was already the peak existence.
But now, in this era where magic power had gradually waned, they actually saw a mage that had mastered all the elements!
There was only one man in the history of the magic continent who was proficient in all elements.
And that was the creator of this world, an existence the mage apprentices called god.
His name was Volibear!
Ever since Volibear created this world and bestowed the profound meaning of magic to all beings, the magic continent had not seen an all-element Archmage for nearly 500,000 years!
What did an all-element archmage mean? It was obvious.
In front of an all-element archmage, the Raytheon Empire was nothing!
Forget about the spirit of the contract. They would even abondon the Temple Declaration, which was regarded as something most sacred by mages, if they had to.
Right now, they had a chance to become an apprentice to an all-element Archmage…
What was there to think about? The answer was, of course, yes!
Almost without hesitation, all of them lowered their heads and bowed at the same time. They greeted the young blonde man respectfully.
“Teacher, I am your student, Henry!”
“Teacher, I am your student, Bob!”
“Teacher, I am your student, Blake!”
..
“We are willing to form a pact with you using our lives as collateral. Let the Holy Sanctuary, the Temple of the City in the Sky, bear witness to this historic moment!”
The moment the declaration was complete, a holy and great power enveloped all of them.
Five Archmages becoming apprentices to the same master at the same time. If news of this were to spread, it would definitely shake the entire magic continent.
On the city wall, Lifa watched the scene unfold in astonishment.
Her gaze when she looked at Rennes had unknowingly gained a trace of admiration and adoration of a young girl.
She and Rennes looked to be about the same age. It was a woman’s natural instinct to admire and be attracted to powerful figures.
After some time had passed…
Under the expectant gazes of the Archmages, the corners of Rennes’ mouth curled up slightly. He said, “Sorry, I was just joking!”
