685: Chapter 217: Sura, “Going Home” (Part 1)_1 685: Chapter 217: Sura, “Going Home” (Part 1)_1 Kleyena and Naga’s task was to plete a Forbidden Curse with as simplified incantations as possible, and having two individuals with perfectly matched abilities allowed them to perform such a spell at an undoubtedly swift pace.
Moreover, this was an area-covering Forbidden Curse, specifically designed to target Marina’s instant teleportation ability.
Kleyena’s petence was already parable to that of an Initial Zi rank Sorcerer.
The ingeniousness of her magical coordination was truly unique, especially her seamless cooperation with her Contracted demonic beast.
Inside the barrier of the petition platform, a fierce storm suddenly arose, with countless snowflakes swirling about.
Under the influence of the hurricane, these snowflakes, condensed from the Water Element, became like blades, filling almost every corner of the petition platform.
Confronted with this scene, Marina exhibited no panic; the smile on her face merely disappeared, replaced by posure.
With the infusion of Purple Magic Force, the golden spherical crystal atop the Magic Staff in her hand burst forth with dazzling brilliance.
As her arm moved gently, a golden Hexagram pattern traced itself in mid-air, seemingly alive as it drifted beneath Marina’s feet.
Floating upward, her body enveloped in intense golden light, she seemed impervious to the burgeoning ice storm, which couldn’t penetrate the golden radiance surrounding her.
“God said, let there be light.” These simple five words made the golden light around her body bloom; a colossal golden figure suddenly emerged behind Marina.
Although the figure was not clear, one could vaguely make out its hands held in front of its chest, a golden light orb forming there.
An enormous disc-shaped symbol materialized behind the figure, rendering Marina’s delicate frame even more sacred.
On the VIP stand, everyone stood up, except for Sura.
Maximo exclaimed in shock, “What, what is that?”
Sura indifferently said, “That is the God Descent Technique, the strongest auxiliary magic of the Light attribute.”
“God Descent Technique?” Maximo’s eyes widened in astonishment.
The Light attribute’s God Descent Technique, like the Spiritual Attribute’s Great Prophecy Technique, was extremely special magic not every Grand Sorcerer could perform; only those who truly municate with the Light Element, being a part of brightness themselves, could use it.
“How could this be?
She’s only Third Rank Zi rank!”
Sura’s voice remained icy cold, “Nothing is impossible; Marina herself is a Light Spirit Body.”
By now, the ice storm had reached its peak intensity.
Outside the golden light, the entire platform was enveloped by the terrifying dual-attribute Forbidden Curse, and the Mana barrier cast by the three Grand Sorcerers teetered on the brink of collapse.
Marina’s face revealed a faint smile, “God said, purify.”
All the golden light instantly transformed into a milky white hue, bursting forth in an instant, and in just a moment, it had already replaced the ice storm that covered the entire petition platform.
The ice and snow met the white light and melted away, the hurricane encountering the white light changed back into the Wind element, and even the barrier erected by the three Grand Sorcerers disappeared at that moment.
The Light attribute Forbidden Curse, Divine Purification, cleansed all magic.
Aided by the God Descent Technique’s amplification, Divine Purification—a Forbidden Curse as well—pletely obliterated the dual-attribute Forbidden Curse unleashed by the bined efforts of Kleyena and Naga.
The white light dissipated, and Marina returned to the ground, the colossal figure behind her vanishing.
Kleyena had returned to herself, now clad in a blue Water Attribute Magic Robe, and only with the support of Naga could she avoid collapsing onto the ground.
“I lost.” Kleyena said somewhat dazedly as she looked at Marina.
Although she had anticipated the oute, she was still unprepared for Marina’s overwhelming strength; she hadn’t even seen Marina’s Contracted demonic beast.
Marina smiled faintly, replying gently, “Little sister Kleyena, your coordination with Naga was near-perfect.
I could not find a single fault.
If your own strength were a bit greater, it would have been very difficult for me to defeat you.
If you wish, perhaps, I can introduce you to Master Silas.
He would certainly be eager to have a disciple like you.”
Kleyena looked at Marina with surprise and excitement, “Sister, is that really possible?” She was well aware that Master Silas, mentioned by Marina, was the host of Faran’s Seventh Tower’s Water Tower, the most powerful Holy Sorcerer of the Water Attribute on the Continent.
Seeing Marina’s affirmative response, Kleyena contentedly returned below the platform with Naga’s assistance.
Ye Yinzhu approached Kleyena, and seeing him, Kleyena, reminded of her near-naked appearance as Naga earlier, couldn’t help but blush and lower her head, “I lost.”
Ye Yinzhu patted her shoulder, “If I had the same strength as you, I wouldn’t have been able to do any better.”
Kleyena raised her head to look at him with a gentle gaze, “I wish you success.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled faintly, not saying anything more, and headed straight for the magic tournament final stage.
All eyes were now focused, and this time, even Sura was no exception.
Though hope had faded in her heart, when the masked contestant number one stepped onto the stage, she couldn’t help but direct her attention towards the petition platform.
Maximo muttered to himself, “Great Prophecy Technique against God Descent Technique, which one would be stronger?”
Grand Sorcerer Lange announced loudly, “The final match of the Grand Magic Tournament begins…”
“Wait a moment.” Ye Yinzhu suddenly spoke up.
Lange thought he wanted to repeat the situation of contestants four and five, and said displeasedly, “The literary and martial arts petition is all about strength.
There’s no need for further talk.”
Ye Yinzhu calmly said, “I simply do not wish to face an unfair assessment.”
Lange was startled, “The other contestants were all assessed under Miss Mariana, the Host of the Magic Mountain.
What is unfair about that?”
Ye Yinzhu said, “It is precisely because they were all assessed by Miss Mariana that it is unfair.
After the two tests just now, Miss Mariana’s mana has been somewhat expended.
With Miss Mariana’s strength, half an hour would allow her mana to recover to its best.
I will wait half an hour.”
As he spoke, Ye Yinzhu sat down cross-legged on the ground and fell silent.
Hearing Ye Yinzhu’s words, the entire venue was in an uproar.
No one really thought Ye Yinzhu was seeking fairness; many believed he was just seeking to gain attention, to capture Mariana’s notice.
For a moment, even the jeers of the crowd could be heard.
But Ye Yinzhu seemed deaf to it all, simply closing his eyes to rest, waiting there.
Initially, Mariana thought Ye Yinzhu was like the two contestants before him, but when she saw him sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes, her expression suddenly changed.
Because she discovered that this number one contestant had, in a mere instant, bee one with everything around him.
Only a true expert could detect this subtle change.
Mariana was taken aback.
It seemed she had really met her match.
Was he really under thirty years old?
This must be the realm of heaven and humanity patible that teacher mentioned.
Even among Faran’s seven Tower Masters, not one could reach this miraculous state.
With this thought, Mariana quickly raised her hand to signal to Lange who was preparing to interrogate Ye Yinzhu.
She sat down cross-legged, facing Ye Yinzhu, and began meditating to restore her own mana.
She couldn’t lose, for the honor of Faran.
Sura watched the scene on the stage with some surprise, frowning as she said, “Mariana has met her match.”
“Phoenix, what do you mean?”
Sura said, “If she had not met a real petitor, she wouldn’t have needed to be so cautious.
I can assure you, she feels threatened by this number one contestant.
I’ve known Mariana for quite a few years, and even though I haven’t studied magic under our teacher’s guidance, I know Mariana very well.”
Maximo felt an unexpected joy at Sura’s words.
To be able to stand against the Saintess of Light from Faran, how bright the future of this young Mage must be.
He made up his mind that, no matter the cost, he must keep this young man after the petition.
Half an hour is not a long time.
When the time was exactly right, Ye Yinzhu and Mariana opened their eyes almost at the same moment.
Mariana stood up slowly and summoned her magic staff, “This staff is called Judgement.
The Judgement of the Gods.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Mariana looked at him with some surprise, “You’re not using a magic staff?” A magic staff is the soul of a Mage, and Faran is no exception to this rule.
Ye Yinzhu shook his head; his magic staff was his Ancient Zither, and at this time, he did not want to reveal his identity, “I will use it when necessary.”
Mariana frowned.
In her view, this number one contestant was far too arrogant.
Even if you have some strength, after all, I’m from Faran.
The smile faded from her beautiful face as Mariana’s hand flashed with light, she put away the Judgement Staff.
The dignity of Faran pelled her to not take advantage of her opponent.
With Lange’s signal to begin, Mariana said to Ye Yinzhu, “Be careful.”
With a flash of light, as she had done against contestant three, a Light attribute Green rank Magic shot instantly toward Ye Yinzhu’s chest.
Standing there, Ye Yinzhu didn’t move an inch, and only when the green light reached right in front of him did he casually wave his hand.
Without any flash of magic light, he simply erased Mariana’s attack, casual and natural, his movement as effortless as a regular wave of the hand.
