Advent of the Archmage Chapter 513

Link received from the dragons—mostly from the queen—dragon power, the book Dragon, various dragon spells, and alchemy . He'd lost the thin piece of time but shared a way to create extraordinary material with the queen .

All in all, he didn't lose anything .

But at the end, he forced himself to stay there and let the Red Dragon Queen seal his dragon form . Thinking back, he'd been too headstrong . His dragon form was so useful . It was a pity to lose it like this .

Whatever . What's done is done . No point in regret . Link, look forward! Comforting himself, Link walked into his room at the top of the Mage Tower .

Celine happened to be in that room . She flipped through Link's enchantment book while one slender hand was open on the table . A small Mithril ball hovered above her palm . Under the modification force field, the ball kept changing shape .

She was practicing enchantments .

Link walked to the comfortable chair beside the hall and plopped into it . Celine flinched at the noise . Ripples appeared in her Mana and the Mithril ball instantly wrinkled .

She turned around . Seeing Link, she patted her chest and whined, "I was wondering who it was . I was so scared . "

She put down the Mithril ball and walked to sit beside Link . Grinning, she said, "You left for one month . I thought you'd spend the rest of your life with the Red Dragon Queen . "

Link shook his head and smiled . He grabbed Celine's small hands and caressed them . "Don't worry, baby," he said, sighing . "I probably won't ever go to the Dragon Valley again . "

"What, you destroyed the relationship?" Celine was a bit shocked .

"Something like that . Whatever, let's stop talking about them . Come, tell me what happened in the territory while I was gone . "

Celine stopped asking and started reporting to him . Most of it was good news about the territory's construction . This included the Golden Rune Workshop's establishment, which Vance was responsible for . It only enrolled Magic Apprentices now and had many Tutors—more than 100 . They'd started producing basic enchantment equipment already .

This was good and of high efficiency . Link was satisfied .

"And there's this . " Celine handed a small bag to Link . "Skinorse brought it back for you . He said that he only needs around 30 more so you should prepare his reward . "

Link opened it to see a bag full of Jogu . He counted it; there were close to 50 . This was a huge gain . With what he already had, he now had more than 70 Jogu . This was great . Link was satisfied too .

"What about news from around the territory?" he asked again . "Such as the Isle of Dawn, the Southmoon Kingdom, the fortress in the North, and such . "

Celine cocked her head and thought for a while . She shook her head . "Nothing big . Oh, right, the Syndicate in the South seems to have changed . They got a lot stronger . I heard that the Leo Kingdom has completely been controlled and turned into a puppet . "

"Oh, that's really bad news . " Link sighed . He knew this was definitely caused by the Ethereal Knights . Morpheus had started preparing the forces to conquer the South .

There were only four kingdoms in the South . Delonga had mostly been annexed by the Southmoon Kingdom . The latter had a good relationship with Ferde, so Link couldn't ignore this .

He quickly thought of something . He cast a large scale life detection spell and quickly found Lucy . Then he used a telepathy spell . "Lucy, it's Link . I need your help . "

Lucy was looking over documents and was frightened when she heard the voice . But she quickly collected herself and replied, "Lord, please give me your orders . "

"Send a document to Southmoon Kingdom's royalty . Tell them I wish to visit the Grinth Magic Academy in their capital, and they should prepare for it . Then send a small magic ambassador group to spend a few months in Grinth . I'll choose some time to go… Oh, right, have them bring this long-distance communication rune with them . "

With that, a crystal-red runestone appeared in Link's hands . It flashed with white light and was sent to Lucy's table .

"Yes, Lord . " Lucy collected it and started writing the document .

Having taken care of that, Link felt less worried . He did this to purposely cast doubt . His name was known across the continent now . When the magic ambassador group arrived at Southmoon under the name of a Legendary Magician, this news would spread throughout the southern kingdoms .

The Syndicate would learn of it too . Then they'd have to worry about Link's power if they wanted to wreak havoc in Southmoon . If something really did happen, the ambassador group would send a message with the runestone . He could get to the capital in one hour .

Celine's voice sounded . "Hey, why aren't you talking? What spell did you just use?"

Link chuckled . "A small telepathy spell . I told Lucy to do some things . Alright, now ask me any enchantment questions you have . "

"Tsk, look how proud you are!" Celine pouted but still obediently brought her notes over and started asking questions seriously .

Link answered them easily and moved through the dozens of questions Celine had accumulated . Then Celine grasped her notes and ran happily to the enchantment room to try it all out .

Link sat in the room alone, thinking about the future .

First, he still needed to spread some force that could strengthen human Warriors . Pure Dragon Power was out of the question . It wasn't because of their ban; he didn't care about it . It was because he couldn't do it without their help for now . However, he had Dragon Power within him and also their magic books . He could experiment and do research; he believed he could create regular Dragon Power soon .

Once he had a stable Dragon Power seed, he could start spreading it . That was the most important task at hand . Second, if he wanted to turn Scorched City into his main camp, he'd have to create a battle-level magic seal .

Thinking of this, Link decided to create an attack spell that could strike the universe .

In the Firuman Realm, Level-19 was the most powerful . He could create it with a magic seal but couldn't control it perfectly because he didn't have Level-19 material .

He gave the thin piece of time and objects from the Sea of Void to Gretel to guard the spatial crack . Without these, he naturally couldn't create Level-19 material . Without Level-19 material, he couldn't restrain Level-19 power . If any Level-19 force exploded in Ferde, the entire territory would be reduced to nothing . That would suck .

Link collected all the material he had right now . He discovered that he could at most create a Level-15 magic seal .

Fine, Level-15 is good enough . Currently, other than Morpheus, this power can destroy any existence in this realm .

With this magic seal, things like Bryant forcing into his territory wouldn't happen anymore . No matter how strong one was, they'd have to surrender at Ferde!

Since he had the idea, he would start . Link immediately began designing .

This magic seal would naturally be set in the Mage Tower . It should use beams for attack and add the power of time . Without the thin piece of time, he couldn't use fate . He would have to use predictive attacks .

This way, it would be hard for the opponent to escape once targeted .

The attack range should be long enough . Since it was a magic seal, the spell should be as complicated and detailed as possible . Taking advantage of spatial magic's focus, it should reach a maximum of two miles on a good day . This could protect the entire Scorched City .

Finally, the attack shouldn't be largescale . Otherwise, the shockwaves could destroy everything . The spell should be as thin as a needle and just be fatal with one hit .

Link thought and designed; the magic seal came into existence under his pen .

…

While Link was focused on magic in his territory, in the Orida Fortress, Kanorse received a letter from a scout from the Black Forest . He was training in the field when he got the letter . He stuck his Lion's Fury sword into the ground and unfurled the small scroll .

After a few glances, his body trembled . His eyes grew serious .

Turning to the scout who'd brought the letter, he asked, "Are you sure the news of this portal is true?"

"Not sure . There are all types of scouts around the building . We can't get close . There's mist around the entire structure, and it's very hard to see . Princess Annie sent me to alert you while she and the rest try to approach again…"

Hearing this, Kanorse slapped his forehead in worry . "That's too dangerous . "

"I said that too . The others tried to dissuade her, but you know Her Highness' temper . She insisted . "

Kanorse couldn't do anything . Before, he was a general and could go help with his hot-blooded temper . Now, he was the fortress' supreme commander . He couldn't be so whimsical . Sending reinforcements could alert the enemy too . Thinking it through, he could only wait passively for Princess Annie's news .

He waited for three days . In the dawn of the third day, Princess Annie and five elite scouts rushed out of the Black Forest . Covered in blood, they returned to the Orida Fortress .

She was injured all over, but there was no fear in her face . Instead, she looked excited and proud . Without treating her wounds, she hurried all the way back to the fortress .

Kanorse had gotten the message . He was already dressed and waiting for her . When he saw Annie, he realized her power waves were stronger than before . She'd broken into Level-8 and was close to Level-9 .

"Kanorse, it's great that you're here . I got certain news about those Nagas!"

"Really? Is there really a portal?"

Annie nodded . "It's a portal—a large multi-realm portal, in fact . Around it, I saw Wild Beastmen, demons, and many Agatha Nagas . "

Kanorse was shocked . "How many?"

Annie gestured with her hands . "More than 150,000 . "

Kanorse's hands trembled . There were only 50,000 Warriors at the Orida Fortress . The enemy was three times larger . Was the scene with the Dark Army from half a year ago about to be repeated?

What made him curious was that Annie didn't seem nervous at all .

"What else?"

"There are a lot of people, but they're sundry . The Wild Beastmen are the most at 80,000 . They have very crude equipment though . They only wear a leather rag and hold sticks . There are only around 20,000 demons, and they don't really follow orders . The Nagas aren't as strong as we predicted either, only around Level-4 and Level-5 . They're equal to our elite army, so they're far from the Dark Army from before . They still need to go through a lot of training . We have time to get ready!"

As Annie spoke, her eyes flashed with confidence . The humans were ill-prepared for the Dark Army before . She'd only been a Level-4 Assassin too . They'd been completely squashed . Now, the Orida army wasn't the weak thing from before .

Even the regular Warriors were at Level-3 . There were many from Level-4 to Level-6 too and could form an elite army of 10,000 soldiers . The commanders were all above Level-7 . There were 15 at Level-8 while Annie was at Level-9 . Kanorse was a full-armored Legendary fighter too .

They were all veterans who'd survived the last battle .

From the aspect of individual soldiers and combat ability, they weren't any weaker than their enemy . They also had the impregnable pass of the continent . They had the absolute advantage .

In that case, they should fight to the end!

Annie's words reassured Kanorse . He thought a bit and said, "You're right… I'll notify the others, and we'll prepare for war!"

Those bastards had been messing with them for so long . Now, it was time for them to get a taste of the humans' iron fist!
