Chapter 388: Chapter 98: Who Else_3
As his words fell, a buzz of surprise swept across the crowd.
“I refuse to accept this!”
In the crowd below the stage, a First Level Wizard, once from the “Pure Blood Will”, now from the “Pure Blood Glory”, immediately rose to challenge. “Link Grande, if you are a man, accept my challenge and prove your worth for this place!”
As he turned to face Link, an air of supreme contempt surrounded him. “I wonder if you have the guts?”
The three Senior Second-Level Wizards on the stage, Hawk and Bobby, observing the duel from a corner of the Central Square, and the scattered examination candidates around the stage, now focused their attention on Link.
Everyone waited to see how Link would respond.
Would he rage out, revealing his true strength; or would he make some excuse to dodge the challenge?
Link smiled faintly and asked seriously, “Are you ready?”
“What?”
The Pure Blood First Level Wizard was slightly surprised, as he struggled to understand the meaning behind Link’s words.
“Are you ready?”
Link asked again. This time, he elaborated, “Are you prepared to die?”
“You…”
The Pure Blood First Level Wizard was suddenly enraged. Who talks like this?
However, before he could continue, he was stopped abruptly.
Link, who was previously calm and composed, had now transformed, emanating an intense aura of cold murder.
Even the air around him seemed to ripple with intensity.
It was only then that the Pure Blood First Level Wizard understood the significance of Link’s question. Though irritated, he dared not drop his guard and immediately activated his Destiny Witchcraft.
With a ‘whoosh’ sound, the Shield of Diamond Travels, a First Ring defense witchcraft that combines Gold, Earth, and Wood Systems, was launched.
An eight-sided shield of unparalleled hardness shone brightly before him, rotating in a curious trajectory.
Sometimes, the panels combined to form a larger shield for greater defensive area,
At times, they were layered upon each other, forming a shield of the same size but greater strength.
And occasionally, they would link together, forming an eggshell-like structure, defending from all angles.
Link waited patiently for the Pure Blood First Level Wizard to finish his defense, only then did he start to make his move.
With a mere thought, his Destiny Witchcraft “Battle Armor” was stimulated, taking the form of “Armor Orchid Battle Armor” and cladding his whole body almost instantly.
As soon as the armor was in place, powerful flames shot out from under his boots.
With an explosive motion, Link propelled himself towards the sky at nearly the speed of sound.
“What the hell?”
This thought flashed across the Pure Blood First Level Wizard’s mind as he craned his head up, trying to track Link’s trajectory and ready himself defensively.
“Watch out!”
A sudden cry of alarm rang out from his fellow comrades.
At this point, the Pure Blood First Level Wizard realized something. The sky was clear and blue, free of any clouds where Link could be hiding.
Moreover, he was in the middle of a battle, so it was a basic mistake to try and track the enemy using only his eyes.
Before the wizard could lower his head or make any sense of the situation, a black shadow appeared before him at an imperceptible speed, with a powerful punch ready to swing.
Infused with Link’s whole strength, amplified tenfold by the combat suit – a deceptive “Armor Orchid Battle Armor” but actually an “Anti Loken Armor”, and further amplified by the billion points of raw physical strength, the punch landed squarely on the Pure Blood First Level Wizard’s chin, sending him into the sky.
“Rocket launch!”
With blood spraying out of his mouth, the Pure Blood First Level Wizard shot into the air with an acceleration that would put even a Ferrari LaFerrari’s 2.8 seconds for a hundred kilometers to shame.
His Destiny Witchcraft “Shield of Diamond Travels” did indeed react subconsciously, placing three lines of defense around his chest,
But Link’s punch smashed through it easily, like piercing tofu with chopsticks, without compromising the speed and strength of his punch.
With his left leg supporting his body, Link lifted his right leg high over his head and with a swing of his heel, he hammered the already fast-ascending Pure Blood First Level Wizard into the ground.
A series of cracking noises resounded.
The ground, under a sudden burst of brutal force, had a spider-web-like crack extending from the point of impact, making the same sound as the shattering of the Pure Blood First Level Wizard’s bones.
With a casual throw of a Water System First Ring Witchcraft “Healing Technique” and a Wood System First Ring Witchcraft “Life Recovery”, he barely managed to save the life of the First Level Wizard, who lay crumbled in the crater, blood spurting out in pulses and at the brink of death.
Link glanced at the incapacitated Pure Blood First Level Wizard disdainfully and mocked, “I didn’t even use any other witchcraft and yet you’re down. Truly, besides your mouth, you’ve got no hard spots.”
Not only hit the body but also the spirit.
Just like Link had just committed a brutal act of witch etiquette, he first struck with a “Spiritual Attack” and a “Mental Frenzy”, disrupting the Pure Blood First Level Wizard’s thoughts.
Subsequently following that up with a rapid surprise attack of a powerful punch and a devastating kick.
Seeing this one-sided beatdown that didn’t even last two seconds from start to finish, all his classmates were shocked by Link’s strength.
Link adjusted his slightly loosened Gold Frame Glasses, his face split into a smile:
“A bunch of dogs and chickens.”
“Who else is there?”
