In the middle of the collapsed treasure mountain, in the cave of the ruins.
“No, impossible! How… how is this possible?!”
“What kind of fire-based secret technique is this?!”
There were voices of shock and disbelief…
Old Man Pale Face’s body trembled. He stared at the dense platinum fire cloud around him, his heart turning cold.
Was this really a magical power that a Great Archmage could use?!
Even if they had used a forbidden technique to forcefully increase their level to half step to the Divine Mage level, it was impossible for them to unleash such a terrifying magical power!
But now, it was right in front of him… This was not a matter of whether he believed it or not!
Crack!
With a cracking sound, the face of Old Man Pale Face turned ashen, and his eyes saw the crack of the golden turtle shell above his head.
The cracks suddenly spread, and in half a moment, they had spread throughout the entire low-grade sacred tool … The golden light energy shield protecting him flickered crazily, and it had already reached its limit!
“No!!” His eyes were bloodshot, and he erupted with all the energy in his body. His hands moved continuously, wanting to use magical power…
Boom! The phantom turtle shell, which had originally solidified, shattered with a bang. The platinum fire cloud immediately closed in and swallowed Old Man Pale Face!
Then, the aura of a Divine Mage vanished from this world!!
“Dead… dead?!”
A Divine Mage… had really died?!
Harris stared blankly at the sea of fire above him. He felt the divine-tier aura disappear, and a cord in his mind suddenly snapped.
In just a few seconds, a Divine Mage had been killed with a single move from the two-color fire cloud!!
Just a moment ago, he had thought that he was dead for sure. After all, it was two Great Archmagi in combat against a Divine Mage. The Great Archmagi should have been in a hopeless situation…
But now… not only was he not dead, he had also personally witnessed two top Great Archmagi working together to incinerate a Divine Mage!
And… it was almost an instant kill!!
Harris swallowed hard. The two-color fire cloud was too terrifying.
How could there be a magical power for a Great Archmage to annihilate a Divine Mage? How… how was this possible?!
How could he die just like that…
At the same time, in the ancestral hall of the Nicholas family.
The scene of Ron and Dick joining hands to slay a Divine Mage was displayed in the viewing screen. Romo saw it. His lips curled into a smile of satisfaction.
“Not bad! This skill is really powerful!”
To be honest, the power erupted from the two-color fiery cloud had exceeded Romo’s expectations.
He certainly knew that it would be very powerful, and had also guessed that it would be so powerful… The magical power used by two top Great Archmagi could actually kill a Divine Mage instantly!
Although this Divine Mage, who had been burned to death, was at most level-2 of the Divine Realm, Romo had also heard of Old Man Pale Face’s name when he was alive. After he had woken up, he had asked Norton to gather a lot of information on the various events in the magic world in the past 500 years. From this, he had obtained some information about this person.
Nearly a thousand years ago, this person was lucky enough to obtain the inheritance of a Divine Mage in the mystic realm of the Lower Ocean State’s ruins. He had transformed from a top Great Archmage to a Divine Mage.
From the relevant records, this person’s talent for magical power cultivation was much inferior to that of a Mage of the same realm… It was pure luck that he could break through to the Divine Realm.
After becoming a Divine Mage, his magical power realm remained unchanged. He had always been a level-1 Divine Mage.
Generally speaking, a Great Archmage could live for 300 years. After breaking through to the Divine Realm, he could live for another 1,000 years.
Then, with each breakthrough to the next level of magical power, another few hundred years of lifespan could be added. It depended on the individual’s situation! According to the records, the longest a Divine Mage could live was up to 5,000 years… There were also cases where a Divine Mage could live up to 3,000 years at least.
It was said that when Old Man Pale Face appeared previously, he was still at level-1 of the Divine Realm more than a hundred years ago. Even now, his level had probably increased to level-2.
If he had been a higher-level Divine Mage, he would not have been killed so easily.
Of course, in the past tens of thousands of years, this was probably the only two-color fire cloud which could cross the realm to kill a Divine Mage.
If news of a Great Archmage destroying a Divine Mage were to spread, it would definitely shock everyone in the magical world!
Ron and Dick had jointly used this move. Romo had obtained inspiration from his memory of a certain novel before he transmigrated to create this magical spell… It was just like a specific martial arts technique of the Nicholas family clan.
Of course, it was not just wishful thinking. As the host of the Ancestral Protection System, he knew the Strange Sacred Flame produced by the System very well.
This was why he could study and create such a joint technique based on the characteristics of the two clusters of Strange Sacred Flames.
In fact, if he were to intervene, he alone would suffice!
With Ron and Dick’s current magical power level, it was still too difficult for them to use this move. This was why the two of them had to join forces and add the second transformation of the Skyfiend Three Transformations.
The reason why a single move could kill a Divine Mage had a lot to do with Old Man Pale Face’s underestimation of his enemy.
Currently, this battle was equivalent to a strong man facing two kids. No matter how hard the kids threw small stones at the strong man, he would not take such an attack seriously because it would not pose a threat at all… In the end, the kids suddenly took out a bomb.
Even if Ron and Dick could not take down the opponent in this battle, Romo had already prepared to use the Ancestral Protection Talisman… Of course, it would be good if the descendants could resolve it themselves.
…Resolve, resolve?! Wait a minute!!
With this thought, his expression turned grave. The System notification about this matter being resolved had not sounded!!
Ron and Dick were still facing a life-and-death crisis!!
At the same time, in the cave.
The violent power of the two-color fire cloud’s explosion had already come to an end.
The platinum fire cloud, which had filled the space, separated with a whoosh and gathered again into a cluster of the Strange Sacred Flame’s main body. Each then returned to its owner’s body.
Ron and Dick had stopped using the Skyfiend Three Transformations at this moment. The rising explosive power had fallen, and both of them were in a weak state.
However, this was only a temporary weakness.
With such a small price and such a small energy consumption, it was worth it to kill a Divine Mage in one move.
Ron had previously used flames to restrain the nine-headed python, but he had the Flame Sacred Body, so his physical condition was similar to Dick.
Dick stretched out his hand and grabbed the purple Storage Ring and a few pieces of broken turtle shells. He said regretfully, “I can’t use this low-grade sacred tool anymore…”
Then, he sensed the items in the Storage Ring. His eyes lit up as he put away the Storage Ring.
There were many good items here. He would count them later…
“This place is a little strange.” Ron’s gaze swept down. “After we subdue the nine-headed python puppet, we’ll leave.”
“Yes.” Dick nodded in agreement. At this moment, Harris had also reacted. He forcefully suppressed the shock from the “killing of a divine-level expert in one move” and nodded.
Just as Ron and the other two were about to fly down, they suddenly heard—
“All of you, don’t even think about going anywhere…”
