As it turned out, Fang Zheng’s strategy had been successful.
When the Pitch Black Greatsword pierced into the Magic Power Furnace, the three magicians hadn’t even realized what had happened. Their facial expressions were still caught in the joy of the previous mont when they thought their plan was about to succeed, so much so that they were completely clueless about where this man had co from or what he was doing.
But they didn’t need to know anymore.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Accompanied by gunshots, three bullets ford from Shadow directly and straightforwardly blew up the magicians’ heads, their bodies—now without heads—staggering before collapsing to the ground lifelessly. It wasn’t until this mont that Kurumi leaped out from the shadows nearby, casting a cold glance at the corpses before snorting disdainfully—Fang Zheng had specifically instructed her not to waste words on these three people. Since they would inevitably have to act, it was better to strike first and eradicate any and all unstable factors.
At this mont, Fang Zheng had no mood to care about how trivial these puppet masters behind the scenes died; he could feel that with his interference, the Magic Power Furnace was starting to collapse, and the power that had lost the restraint of the Elf Spell Formula was gradually getting out of control!
"Burn!"
With Fang Zheng’s roar, intensely explosive flas burst forth from the Pitch Black Greatsword in an instant, soaring into the sky like a pillar of fire. Even the radiance of the sun was obscured by the fire’s brilliance; for a ti, the plain was nearly dyed red by the bright red light of the flas.
Excellent!
Fang Zheng could feel the continuous flow of magic power being consud by the flas, and turning into firewood that entered his body. In the Ritual Site of his soul, the blue flas that had started to burn by absorbing Allen’s power grew even more vigorous and robust. At the sa ti, Fang Zheng could feel the connection between himself and the Magic Net becoming closer and deeper...
Although the magic power in this world was not as abundant as in the Main World, this was after all the concentration of an entire world’s magic power. Fang Zheng was sure that if he could digest all this power, his grasp and exploration of the Magic Net would enter an entirely new domain!
However, Fang Zheng did not let his guard down because of this. As it was well-known, gasoline could be used to burn, but if one were to throw a match into a barrel of gasoline, the most likely result would be an explosion. At this mont, although Fang Zheng’s Primordial Soul Fire was frantically devouring and burning the magic power of the entire world, the surging power seed still out of control.
After all, Fang Zheng’s Primordial Soul Fire had its limits; once the rushing magic power exceeded the range that the Primordial Fire could control during combustion, then what would follow would be a violent explosion, and at present... the runaway magic power was becoming more and more intense, Fang Zheng was beginning to lose control!
What’s more, and more importantly, as the flas burned, most of the magic power had been converted to firewood, but a part of it seed to be ’true gold does not fear the test of fire,’ gradually condensing. Soon, Fang Zheng saw bright and dazzling light gleaming within the flas.
Could that be...
"Spirit Crystals?!"
Watching the sparks in the flas, Kurumi couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise. At the sa mont, the flas suddenly expanded, and those Spirit Crystals, like fish trying to escape a net, desperately tried to fly out of their fiery prison!
Just as I thought, it’s not so easy to deal with the corrective force of ti!
Feeling the powerful impact and struggle of the Spirit Crystals, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, doing his best to manipulate the Primordial Fire to try to contain these rampant Spirit Crystals. Clearly, as Fang Zheng had previously told Kurumi and Yoshino, what mattered for this world was the result of the Elves appearing thirty years later, and the process and cause could always change. Just like now, if Fang Zheng couldn’t contain these Spirit Crystals, they would scatter to different places, then reappear through a variety of entirely new events, returning to their rightful owners in a completely different way than before.
But Fang Zheng would not let them succeed!
Although they were just the residual slag from the fire, they were ultimately a collection of Spiritual Power, and who knows what might happen if they were left in this world!
"Boom!"
But at that mont, the fla’s containnt finally reached its limit. Quickly, several Spirit Crystals broke free from their restraints, flying off rapidly in all directions!
"Yoshino, Kurumi! Block those Spirit Crystals!"
As he shouted, Fang Zheng raised the black and white blades he was clutching with both hands. Accompanying his motion, a fire serpent burst from the blades in an instant, tightly winding around one of the Spirit Crystals and beginning to gradually lt and devour it.
"Got it!"
"I understand, Mr. Fang Zheng!"
Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s command, the already-prepared Kurumi and Yoshino did not hesitate and imdiately sprang into action. Kurumi raised her right hand, and in sync with her movent, several shadow clones swiftly erged from the shadows and flew into the air with her. anwhile, Yoshino also raised her right hand and forcefully slapped the ground.
"Ice Construct!"
As Yoshino called out, a giant rabbit angel leapt from underground, then under Yoshino’s control, soared into the sky. A barrier ford from ice quickly materialized in mid-air, transforming into a wall that blocked the path of the Spirit Crystal.
But at the sa mont they manifested their angels, the Spirit Crystal, as though attracted by a magnet, hurtled toward them at speed. Before the two could react, the Spirit Crystal turned into beams of light that shot directly into their bodies.
"Oof!"
"Ah...!"
Subjected to this sudden attack, both Kurumi and Yoshino couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan as they collapsed to the ground. Soon, black shadows began to spread uncontrollably around Kurumi’s body, and around Yoshino, the ground was completely encased in ice, as a cold chill unleashed, evolving into spikes of ice that spread in all directions.
"This is bad!"
Watching this scene unfold, Fang Zheng’s expression subtly changed. However, he did not imdiately act because he could feel that Kurumi and Yoshino were not truly injured. They were just temporarily unable to control their actions due to absorbing an excess amount of spiritual power. Fortunately, Fang Zheng had learned how to solve such problems. Leaving aside theoretical discussions, the situation they faced was very similar to a magic power outburst. Therefore, all that was needed was...
"Yoshino! Kurumi! Focus your attention! Grasp the power within your bodies, do not stop its spread, maintain control over it, let it release bit by bit to the outside, but not too much! Use your abilities to do sothing intricate! Yoshino, you can make an ice sculpture of a rabbit! Kurumi! Create as many shadow clones as possible to share the burst of power! Don’t worry about ti, we can stay in this world for ten days, we have enough ti to solve these problems!"
Perhaps responding to Fang Zheng’s commands and reassurances, the two, whose powers were initially out of control, gradually started to move. The cold air around Yoshino began to condense once again, sharpening into blades that quickly cut through the surrounding ice spires.
On the other side, Kurumi also raised her handholding a pistol to her head, pulling the trigger ti and again. With each of Kurumi’s movents, another shadow clone appeared from her body and quickly dissolved into the shadows.
Seeing this spectacle, Fang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. In the Mage Tower, he had learned about how a spellcaster should deal with a temporary surge of magic power. Strictly speaking, the growth and explosion of power were not dangerous in themselves, but conversely, since this was an unprecedented situation, the human instinct was to suppress it. This is akin to holding the deflation valve of an over-inflated balloon, which only makes the balloon expand further until it finally bursts.
Conversely, if one allows the force to gush out uncontrollably, it’s not only the increase in magic power that is lost, but also one’s own power seeps away. As a result, the records in the Mage Tower contain detailed descriptions of how a mage should control and handle the reactions brought about by an excess of magic power.
Fang Zheng had only tried it out, but as the once tumultuous spiritual energy auras around the two gradually stabilized, he too, breathed a sigh of relief.
anwhile, the other Spirit Crystals seed to have lost the energy to escape; they were bound by flas and obediently fell into Fang Zheng’s palm.
[Repair Progress: 75%]
Burning the magic power of an entire world has only raised it by 15%?
Watching this scene, Fang Zheng shook his head.
It seems this system has quite the appetite.
But... this also ans that it won’t be long before I can return to the Heavenly Dao Palace.
Not only that...
Fang Zheng closed his eyes, and at the sa ti, new, never-before-possessed powers began to erge in his mind.
It was the power of the Angel.
