356: Chapter 108: The Impossible Task (Part 1) 356: Chapter 108: The Impossible Task (Part 1) Their duet had started very early on.
Ever since Haiyang’s strength had undergone a qualitative leap, her understanding of Divine Music Magic, or rather, her prehension of music, had bee much stronger than before.
With a teacher like Ye Yinzhu to guide her, how could she possibly not improve?
When playing a duet with Ye Yinzhu, Haiyang didn’t need to control her own magic at all, she merely had to release it.
The rest was all handled by Ye Yinzhu.
A peculiar scene unfolded as Ye Yinzhu closed his eyes and sensed the positions of the warriors below entirely through his spiritual power.
The purple halos emanating from him and Haiyang suddenly transformed into purple rings of light that descended from the sky.
Each purple ring was about a meter in diameter, perfectly encircling a single warrior.
Under Ye Yinzhu’s precise control, the warriors carrying mages were given priority.
This was the Divine Music Halo, a technique Ye Yinzhu had developed himself.
By controlling the magic with spiritual power, the Divine Music Halo could not only maximize the effect produced by the music but also control the dissipation of magic, ensuring that the magical effects generated by the duet affected the intended targets to the greatest extent.
The effect of Zi rank “Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song”, in the form of Divine Music Halos, was so potent that even Ye Yinzhu himself had not anticipated it.
As he controlled fifty Divine Music Halos to envelop fifty warriors carrying mages, the other warriors clearly saw that those surrounded by the purple halos seemed as if they had taken a stimulant, with their speed increasing instantly, even surpassing that of warriors who weren’t carrying anyone.
Each was brimming with spirit.
Even more incredibly, the Douqi aura they radiated began to change.
The Douqi of each warrior had been enhanced by two entire ranks.
Almost pletely changed into Green rank warriors, the fifty felt as though the mages on their backs weighed nothing, and they almost forgot they were about to embark on a seemingly impossible mission, enraptured by the enchanting music.
The fifty mages benefitted as well.
Under the stimulation of the “Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song”, the disfort from jostling vanished in an instant, their perception of the outside world heightened, and their spiritual power peaked.
Unfortunately, to maximize their offensive output, all fifty selected mages were of the Fire Attribute.
If they had been of the Wind attribute, with the help of Wind attribute assistive magic like the Levitation Technique, they would have been able to further increase their rate of advance.
Controlling fifty Divine Music Halos was the limit of what Ye Yinzhu could reach; after all, his spiritual power was finite.
Asis’s massive body was hundreds of meters above the ground, and without the Divine Music Halos, the effects of the duet would hardly reach those warriors.
Maintaining his mental control, he played the “Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song” over and over.
He didn’t know that this powerful Zi rank song was not only relieving the fatigue of the soldiers and mages below, but also gradually changing their bodies.
Ye Yinzhu had considered using a Teleportation Magic Circle Formation to reach the Northernmost Wilderness, but this secret was too important for him to reveal.
If Oliveira and the warriors from the Milan Empire learned that he had the capability to teleport straight into the heartland of the Beastman, what would he do if the Milan Empire’s military forced him to use teleportation to help them in battle?
Besides, this mission was meant to be a challenge, and using a shortcut like teleportation would not yield the desired effect.
The intelligence report he and Oliveira had seen yesterday added a lot of possibilities to this mission.
According to the report, for some unknown reason, the Three Great Beastman Tribes had been conducting a massive sweep within the interior of the Northernmost Wilderness lately, with numerous Beastman Army patrols scouring the area.
Naturally, this included the Thunder God Tribe’s Royal Family.
If they could quietly cross over Tall Mountain and enter the Northernmost Wilderness, seeking out isolated Lion Men, then the possibility of pleting their task would naturally emerge.
“Is this the magic of a Divine Music Master?
It’s truly miraculous,” Asis exclaimed sincerely.
This was the first time he had heard such music.
Although Ye Yinzhu was controlling the release of the Divine Music Halos, given his current strength, he naturally couldn’t pletely contain the effects of the duet music, therefore, Asis and Li Sha beside him also benefitted—the “Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song” directly affecting them and providing exceptional enjoyment.
As Magic Dragons highly sensitive to magic, they could clearly perceive changes in their bodies.
Zi had mentioned before that the zither music played by Ye Yinzhu had an enhancing effect on the evolution of Magical Beasts.
Although it was a duet, the evolution-enhancing effect was naturally included.
At that moment, Ye Yinzhu’s spirit was wholly concentrated on controlling the Divine Music Halos.
Dividing his spiritual power into fifty equal shares to control the magic was an extremely difficult task for him.
Fortunately, the Divine Music Halos were of an assistive rather than offensive nature.
Were it not for this, if the beneficiaries of the halos could retaliate, he wouldn’t have been able to maintain even these fifty halos with his current power.
Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang were not gods; they were just mages.
They naturally couldn’t bear the magic power drained by playing for extended periods either.
After several hours of adjustment, Ye Yinzhu decided that each time someone else carried the mages, for the first half-hour, the warriors would sprint using their own strength.
During that half-hour, he and Haiyang would sit on Asis’s back and recover their mana through meditation, and for the following half-hour, they would rely on the Divine Music Halo to control the “Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song” to assist the warriors.
In this way, they could ensure the continuous release of Divine Music Magic effects to the greatest extent, providing the warriors with the best possible protection.
Only those who had truly experienced it could recognize the wonder of the Zi rank Divine Music Halo.
Those warriors who had carried the mages, upon switching, were surprised to find that the fatigue they should have felt from carrying someone for an hour did not appear.
Instead, their spirits were even more vigorous, and their bodies were in the best condition.
What kind of Zi rank magic was this!
Many of them were not familiar with Ye Yinzhu, but the miraculous Divine Music Magic made them all long to be enveloped by the Divine Music Halo again.
At this point, not one of the two hundred people dared to underestimate the young mander Ye Yinzhu.
He was a Zi rank Grand Sorcerer, after all!
Naturally, they did not know that Zi rank was the effect produced by the ensemble.
After nine hours of non-stop travel, nobody knew how far they had gone.
Once all 450 warriors had carried the mages at least once, Ye Yinzhu ordered a two-hour rest, during which they would eat and recover their strength before continuing on their trek.
All 450 warriors and 50 mages had been enveloped by the Divine Music Halo.
Despite their fatigue from the continuous nine-hour journey, their condition was much better than after a normal journey.
However, Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang’s faces were somewhat pale.
Through the constant spellcasting and meditative recovery, their spirits were extremely tired, but they also found that such training greatly benefited their magic power enhancement.
Especially for Ye Yinzhu, who had to control the Divine Music Halo while playing, his mental control was invisibly increasing.
Looks of admiration appeared in the eyes of the mages and warriors, and even the members of the Three Hundred Grim Reaper, wearing black tight-fitting outfits, had a change of expression when looking at Ye Yinzhu.
After eating something simple, Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang entered the meditative state again.
Time was of the utmost importance to them.
Only by seizing every possible moment to travel could they hope to plete their mission.
Every warrior looked at them with respect, knowing that without the help of the Zi rank Divine Music Magic, it would have been impossible to carry on for nine hours while rapidly moving with Douqi activated.
No one talked much, as talking was also a way to waste energy; everyone was seizing the moment to rest.
After a two-hour rest, they set out on the road again.
The Divine Music Halo, as usual, enveloped the warriors carrying the mages.
Through the previous nine hours, the additional two hundred warriors and mages had begun to adapt to such travel.
Though their bodies were weary, the Divine Music Halo proved to be the best method to alleviate and maintain stamina.
The sensation of instant Douqi enhancement filled them with a sense of enjoyment; the warriors even hoped they could carry the mages for longer periods.
In this manner, the journey continued in a special form.
This five-hundred-strong group traveled twice a day for nine hours each time, with a half-hour rest in between, followed by a four-hour rest at the end of the day.
With eighteen hours of travel every day, they were closing in on the Northernmost Wilderness.
Not only was this traveling method training their bodies, but it also gradually unified these warriors into one entity.
While the Three Hundred Grim Reaper were weaker in Douqi pared to the later-joined warriors, what was surprising was their vastly superior endurance.
By the fifth day of travel, even with the support of the Divine Music Halo, the one hundred fifty Green rank Warriors were starting to struggle, but the Three Hundred Grim Reaper maintained a constant pace, unfazed.
The Three Hundred Grim Reaper were not truly heartless, at least not towards their rades.
As the Green rank Warriors grew tired, they began to carry the mages more often, but the Divine Music Halo continued to assist the warriors by the original method of switching fifty people every hour.
The Three Hundred Grim Reaper was invisibly bearing more pressure.
Beyond shame, respect for the Three Hundred Grim Reaper began to emerge in the hearts of the one hundred fifty Green rank Warriors.
When evening came on the sixth day, the group of five hundred, plus two Silver Dragons, and Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang, had arrived in front of a mountain range.
Oliveira ordered them to rest in place.
