Chapter 107: Fire G.o.d Descends, An Original Spell

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The sea of fire blazed furiously, roasting the ant tide, charring the lands, and also astounding everyone’s hearts!

Light from the fire danced on their faces, lighting up the horror in everyone’s eyes clearly.

From ninth-grade experts, like Dirk Norway and Marchioness Cesia, all the way to every ordinary soldier, everyone was astounded beyond belief.

“Ninth-Grade Spell... Heavenly Fire Meteor?”

A fourth-year senior suddenly exclaimed in astonishment, “That’s the fire-elemental Ninth-Grade Spell, Heavenly Fire Meteor! Oh my dragon G.o.d! That’s a ninth-grade spell!”

“N-ninth-grade spell? Are you sure?”

Another senior gasped, unable to believe what he was hearing.

“Ten suns in the sky, brilliant as shooting stars! A diameter of 100 meters, its flames blazing and burning the sky!” That senior gulped madly. “This spell in front of us is practically identical to the written description of Heavenly Fire Meteor. Aside from that, what else can it be?”

“B-but he’s just a first-year freshman! How can he possibly cast ninth-grade spells? Even the teachers in the academy can’t do that!”

“That... I wouldn’t know!”

Hart, Abbe, and Tanna’s hearts spasmed madly when they heard the seniors’ discussion.

Ninth-Grade Spell, Heavenly Fire Meteor?

Oh my dragon G.o.d!

That’s actually a ninth-grade spell?!

“Since when did old bro become so strong?” The fat on Hart’s face quivered as he said, “Also, doesn’t he only have thunder-elemental and earth-elemental magic talent? Where did he get that fire-elemental magic talent from?”

“He also has earth-elemental magic talent?” asked Dirk Norway as he spun around in astonishment.

Abbe and Tanna also looked at Hart.

“Yes, he does.” Fatty Hart nodded incessantly. “When term had just begun, he had attended earth-elemental magic cla.s.ses with me. It was only after that that I found out he also has earth-elemental magic talent.”

“Thunder-elemental, earth-elemental, and fire-elemental!” Dirk Norway’s lip corner was spasming. “That kid is actually a triple-elemental Magician! What a joke that I, his teacher, actually didn’t know. This is simply too...”

“Earth-elemental and fire-elemental magic talent unbeknownst to anyone, and a Great Ninth-Grade Magician, too!” Abbe murmured to himself, “Just how many secrets is that guy hiding?”

“In any case, he’s pretty mysterious.” Fatty Hart shook his head and sighed emotionally. “I really don’t know how he got past the magic a.s.sessment back then. I clearly saw that they had only detected thunder-elemental affinity for him that day.”

“That’s true...”

A huge jolt went through everyone.

At that moment, Meng Lei, who was in the sky, moved again. He went over to another area above the ant tide, raised his arms high, and slowly began to chant an ancient, unfathomable, and mysterious incantation!

“&*&%¥##@%&*...”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it reached everyone’s ears clearly. All five—Dirk Norway, Marchioness Cesia, Abbe, Hart, and Tanna—of their faces changed at once.

Buzz, buzz!

A surge of fire-elemental magic power gushed out of Meng Lei. Under his vast spiritual power’s control, it drew all the Fire Elements within 1,000 meters of where he was in a frenzy.

Boom!

An infinite amount of Fire Elements converged and formed a 1,000-meters-tall gigantic bout of flames. It floated in the sky, sometimes converging, sometimes dispersing, sometimes lengthening, and sometimes flattening...

It was like there was an unknown wave of great strength currently kneading the gigantic bout of flames as if wanting to construct a form and create a body for it.

Boom!

True enough, following a great explosion, a thick, muscular white arm completely made out of condensed flames suddenly reached out of the gigantic bout of flames.

Muscles intertwined on the arm, and veins bulged on the surface, every tiny little detail clear to the eye.

It was then followed by the second arm, legs, head...

Before long, a fire giant entirely made up of flames and more than triple the height of the towers in the empire appeared in the sky. It was big, tall, and muscular. He stood tall and proud as if a fire deity traversing the world.

“Oh my dragon G.o.d!”

“This...”

Gasps filled the place above the city walls. Everyone felt their scalps go numb and chills running down their spines as they watched the fire giant suspended in the sky.

“Ninth-Grade Spell... Fire G.o.d Descends!”

“That’s the Ninth-Grade Spell, Fire G.o.d Descends!”

“Aren’t Fire G.o.d Descends’ flames supposed to be red? Why are its flames white? Also, isn’t its size too big? The scale is pretty much comparable to first-cla.s.s spells...”

“This...”

Dirk Norway, Marchioness Cesia, and the others were unperturbed even as they listened to the seniors’ exclamations and bewildered comments—because they knew that this was Dragon-Language Magic!

The Ninth-Grade Dragon-Language Spell... Fire G.o.d Descends!

That was why it possessed such terrifying might!

“Meng Lei... He’s also a Dragon Person?”

Dirk Norway felt rather disappointed. He had initially thought that Meng Lei was an actual, proper human genius, but little did he expect that he was a Dragon Person, too.

“I guess that’s true, too! How can the human race possibly produce a crazy genius like him that easily?” Dirk Norway gave a self-mocking smile.

“I didn’t think that old bro would actually be a Dragon Person, too!” Fatty Hart’s jaw dropped with a look of realization plastered on his face. “I knew it! His body is so crazy strong, and he was able to beat the living daylights out of Lance when he had only just enrolled in the school back then. No matter how you look at it, he just doesn’t seem like a human...”

Elsewhere, the 1,000-meters-tall fire giant descended from the sky and landed heavily on the ground, smashing countless Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants dead. While hiding between the fire giant’s brows, Meng Lei controlled the ma.s.sive creature and began to launch attacks.

Boom!

The fire giant opened its mouth wide. Like mortar bombs, dozens of huge fireb.a.l.l.s shot out of its mouth in succession and raked the area in a frenzy.

Countless Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants perished amid several deafening explosions.

Then, the fire giant raised its football field-sized palm and smacked downward viciously.

Boom!

A large expanse of ants died under its palm, and the bottom of the pit was charred black and full of carca.s.ses.

Boom!

The giant opened its mouth again. A 100-meters-long fire dragon charged into the ant tide army, blasting and bombarding the area with explosions. With that, another large expanse of ants died.

“Ding!”

“Ding!”

“Ding!”

And just like that, the fire giant began a frenzied ma.s.sacre, be it Buddha’s Palm1, releasing fire dragons from its mouth, trampling on them with its enormous feet, or shooting bursts of fireb.a.l.l.s like cannonb.a.l.l.s...

After a consecutive series of attacks, innumerable ravines, voids, seas of fire, and craters appeared among the ocean of ants...

The ant tide was practically riddled with holes, the sight too horrific to behold.

“How savage!”

“That’s so G.o.dd.a.m.n savage!”

Everyone’s hearts pounded intensely, finding the sight alarming to lay eyes upon. As the fire giant rampaged its way through, the number of Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants that perished on the spot was immeasurable.

A ma.s.sacre... This was completely a G.o.dd.a.m.n ma.s.sacre!

This ma.s.sacre lasted continuously for a few minutes before the fire giant finally gradually dissipated.

“Phew! It’s finally over!”

“I totally broke out in cold sweat because of that!”

Just as everyone heaved a small sigh of relief, white flower petals suddenly began to rain from the sky. An infinite number of petals filled the sky, enveloping the whole place in white.

Was this the beautiful landscape of the northern lands where everything was frozen in ice for a thousand miles, and snow fell everywhere that the eye could see?

Yet...

When these white petals landed on the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants, it was as if sparks of fire had landed on petrol. With a deafening boom, the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants began to burn as though they’d been set ablaze.

One, two, three...

Wherever the petals landed, everything began to burn. The entire area within several kilometers turned into a sea of fire.

All the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants within the area began to burn by themselves. The sight was much quieter than when the fire giant was ma.s.sacring them, but it was also much more peculiar and made the onlookers’ scalps go numb.

At the sight of such a terrifying scene, everyone felt their hair stand on end, and all of them involuntarily looked at the tops of their heads. It was only after they were sure that none of the petals had landed on them that they finally heaved a small sigh of relief.

Phew, good thing there aren’t any petals there!

“What spell is that?” asked someone in a low voice.

“I don’t recognize it! It doesn’t seem like there’s a spell like that in all the written records of ninth-grade spells?”

“There isn’t? Try and recall properly...”

Marchioness Cesia turned to Dirk Norway and asked, “Mr. Dirk, do you know of that spell?”

“No, I don’t!”

Dirk Norway gave her a resigned smile and replied, “If my guess is correct, that is probably an original ninth-grade spell. I never thought that this child, Meng Lei, can even create original ninth-grade spells now! I... can’t compare to him!”

“An original ninth-grade spell?”

A huge jolt went through Cesia’s form, and a hint of horror surfaced in her eyes.
