Remote Projection Array
Ronan's words were like an invisible blade, piercing through countless spaces and striking Cooper's heart.
Cooper froze, his mouth slightly open as if he had no way to refute.
Ronan looked down at him, extended his right hand, and a starry armband floated up from his palm.
"All you want is a legacy. Does it matter whether I am the real Ronan Damien or not?"
Cooper's expression shifted, and after a moment, he spoke with resentment, "I clearly saw you take it with my own eyes."
Is this correct?
Ronan flicked his finger, creating a frozen ice flower. In the center of the ice flower, a drop of purplish-red water was faintly visible.
It was the Purple Mist Flower Juice that Cooper had stolen and put into the soup, which Ronan had now retrieved intact.
At this point, Cooper calmed down completely.
He didn't say anything more, but blurry marks appeared at the edges of his body, and some black smoke rose up, as if his whole body was melting and evaporating.
Ronan's eyes flickered slightly, and the twenty-nine Golden Tentacles behind him stretched out rapidly, like golden spears piercing through the void, the chainsaws howling with terrifying heat and tearing intent.
"Bang!"
Several Golden Tentacles pierced [Penetration] Cooper's body in the blink of an eye, but the latter burst open like a punctured bubble, turning into a cloud of black smoke.
The twenty-nine Golden Tentacles immediately contracted, rapidly transforming from brilliant gold to deep silver, enveloping Ronan layer by layer like flowing armor.
[[Space Silvering]]! A strange spatial fluctuation emanated, Ronan's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and then reappeared in a place hundreds of meters away.
After several flashes, Ronan frowned, then withdrew the silvered Itai metal again, and instead relied on his mental power to directly pursue the fleeing Cooper.
When he was a level two wizard, Ronan's best tool for short-distance spatial teleportation using [[Space Silvering]] was still his pursuit and escape. However, after reaching level three, and facing Level Four Dawn Wizard, teleporting a distance of several hundred meters at a time was clearly not enough. Considering the cooldown time between two teleportations, this speed was not as fast as Ronan flying on his own.
Ronan had already begun to consider finding time to further optimize and upgrade his several Soul Rune that involved spatial mysteries.
Driven by a powerful mental force comparable to a late-stage level four wizard, Ronan's speed reached its limit, his figure stretching into an indistinguishable pale golden shadow in the sky.
In just a few breaths, Cooper's figure reappeared in Ronan's field of vision.
The distance between the two continued to close, Cooper turned around several times, a look of panic flashing across his gloomy and ugly face from time to time.
As the outline of the ""Silver Falcon" Airship" airship came into view in the distance, Ronan's relentless pursuit suddenly came to a halt.
"Wrong!"
Ronan frowned.
He realized that he didn't actually need to hunt down Cooper; his ultimate goal was to get away from him.
As a Level Four Dawn Wizard, even if there is a certain gap between him and Cooper in terms of mental strength and combat power, Cooper's flight speed should not be so much different from his own, so he was able to catch up with him little by little so easily.
Cooper's previous actions, rather than being an escape, were more like deliberately leading him closer to a certain location.
At this moment, as if realizing that his intentions had been exposed, Cooper, who had been running away, stopped.
He turned to face Ronan, his face no longer showing any sign of panic or tension.
Across the raging winds and lightning, Ronan stood high in the sky, gazing at Cooper from afar.
Soon, he saw the ""Silver Falcon" Airship" airship behind Cooper begin to "disintegrate." The beautiful "Bonsai Garden" on the back of the giant bird-like airship disappeared, replaced by streaks of runic light that shot into the sky. Even in a direct confrontation, Ronan was not afraid of Cooper and his companion. The reason he went to the trouble of sneaking away from the ""Silver Falcon" Airship" was because the ""Silver Falcon" Airship" was their "home ground," and he was worried that there might be some hidden methods on board.
And indeed, that proved to be true.
"Ronan."
At this moment, as if another force had been injected, the already dim sky became even more gloomy, and the gale and thunderstorms flowing in the Sky Dome became even more intense.
Cooper spread his arms as if welcoming something, calling out Ronan's name. A cold and mocking smile spread across his handsome face.
Ronan stared at him coldly, then turned without hesitation and flew through the raging storm at an even faster speed than before, heading towards the direction far away from the enormous, deep blue Eye of the Sky the sky.
"It's Remote Projection Array; someone is about to descend using Elemental Spirit Avatar. To do that, one must be at least Level Five Wizard."
Alazan's aged voice rang in Ronan's ears.
Ronan's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak; he simply continued to channel his mental energy.
Suddenly, a strong magical fluctuation came from the side, accompanied by a faint sense of heat.
Ronan abruptly stopped, raised his hand, Itai surged from beneath his robes, rapidly transforming into enormous Golden Eagle Wings that overlapped and closed. "Boom!"
Torrent of crimson flames collided with exquisite and magnificent golden wings, countless burning fire feathers flew away, and eight Golden Eagle Wings suddenly unfolded, sweeping out Keen Edge aura like a heavenly blade, directly cutting the Torrent in half.
Ronan slowly brushed aside the few sparks that drifted past his eyes and saw a figure dressed in Fire Lizard Robe appear at the end of the Torrent of flames.
It's Lumian.
He is not dead yet; he has broken free from the forbidden ice.
However, he was not in good condition; his face was pale, and the wound on his chest from the Golden Touch was still there, but his eyes were fixed on Ronan.
Ronan's eyes turned cold. He stretched out his five fingers and plucked the invisible magic string in the void. However, before he could release his spell, a strong energy fluctuation made him turn around and look back.
In the distance, the runic light screen atop the ""Silver Falcon" Airship" had now fully taken shape.
Beneath the dark sky, endless free energy particles gathered together, even extinguishing the raging winds and lightning. Finally, six dazzling points of light, ten thousand times more brilliant than diamonds, condensed in the sky.
The crimson beams of light intersected and connected among the six points of light, forming a six-pointed star formation.
An indescribable, terrifying power cascaded down from this unparalleled, enormous six-pointed star like a waterfall, pouring outwards as if the sky were collapsing and the sea were splitting.
Ronan felt countless needle-like stings; his exposed skin felt as if it were being repeatedly polished by invisible sandpaper in the void.
Ronan had witnessed the power of Level Five Wizard before, and according to Alazan, what was in front of him should only be a projection of an Elemental Spirit Avatar.
The feeling it gave Ronan was even more terrifying than the true form of Level Five Wizard he had experienced during the Talent Competition.
Ronan took a deep breath and, before the terrifying six-pointed star formation could fully take shape, flew rapidly into the distance.
However, he had barely flown for half a breath when Alazan's warning voice rang in his ears.
"Careful!"
A strong sense of alarm arose from the bottom of his heart. Ronan instinctively turned to the side, and the Itai eagle wings to protect him. At this moment, time seemed to slow down countless times.
Ronan watched as a solidified black beam of energy swept past his nose. The Golden Eagle Wings on that side disappeared without a sound when the beam passed by it, as if it had been evaporated.
He could clearly hear his heart pounding, and at the edge of his vision was Lumian's smug, ferocious face, laughing heartily.
His mouth opened and closed, as if he were saying to Ronan, "Escape? Do you think you can escape?"
"Call--"
Ronan exhaled a breath of stale air, and the slowed flow of time returned to normal. His mental energy spread out completely, and his figure flickered repeatedly, dodging and weaving in a void.
In the sky, black energy beams fell like raindrops, and the huge six-pointed star in the distance slowly rotated. There was a completely vacuum zone between it and Ronan, and the crazy energy beams seemed to be falling directly on Ronan's head.
"Space Magic fluctuations"
As Ronan dodged, he sensed the dense Space Magic fluctuations permeating the surroundings, thus understanding why the six-pointed star's attack was so [Swift] and unpredictable.
He gritted his teeth and kept dodging at near-limit levels.
Each of those energy beams shooting towards him possessed a terrifying power comparable to his full-force spells that reached the forbidden realm.
A faint, almost invisible golden light enveloped his body; it was the soul power of Alazan. He was constantly refining Ronan's extreme evasive maneuvers to avoid being attacked by the energy beams.
This must be very difficult for him.
Ronan could hear Alazan's heavy breathing from time to time.
Finally, the storm-like offensive abruptly stopped, and the dazzling six-pointed star formation under the dim sky in the distance ceased its rotation, as if gathering the power for the next wave of attack.
Ronan stopped, his face and body almost completely soaked in sweat, his shoulders rising and falling slightly as he breathed evenly and deeply.
In just a few breaths, you brushed with serious injury or death nearly a hundred times. This kind of pressure is not something an ordinary person can bear.
"You're alright?!"
Lumian, who witnessed the whole thing from a short distance away, stared wide-eyed at Ronan, who was completely unharmed. The next second, his expression turned ferocious as he gritted his teeth.
"Next time, you won't be so lucky!"
"If you are willing to voluntarily relinquish your legacy now"
Cooper's voice came from afar, but Ronan ignored it completely.
His eyes remained fixed on the massive six-pointed star formation that had begun to rotate again beneath the distant sky.
His gaze was calm as he took a deep breath, and then exclaimed, "[First Spiral Palace]!"
"Buzz—"
All the sweat on his body evaporated in an instant, his cascading white hair rose high, and then turned into the color of night, strand by strand.
Tiny black flames and arcs of light surged out, "crackling—", Ronan's figure grew taller and taller, accompanied by an indescribable and terrifying power emanating from his body. He had already entered the state of "Ancient Demon God Body".
"Whoosh—"
Strange ripples appeared in the void above as the first beam of energy descended.
Ronan's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already right in front of Lumian.
His ghostly appearance caught Lumian off guard; his pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively tried to back away.
Ronan raised his hand, and the black Spirit Force surrounding him swept over, wrapping around Lumian's body like tentacles, before stepping aside. "Boom!"
A beam of energy followed closely behind, grazing his body and engulfing Lumian completely.
Ronan calmly caught a severed finger that had flown off, removed the several exquisite gemstone rings from the finger, and then extended his five fingers into claws, grabbing a half-illusory soul that had just emerged and casually stuffing it into the Square-Horned Cowbell he had prepared beforehand.
The sounds of hearty chewing and Lumian's agonizing screams disappeared into the Space Ring as the cowbell was put away again.
Ronan's movements were so practiced that it was as if he had rehearsed them countless times in his mind.
Only then did he turn around, bring his arms together, and forcefully push outwards, unleashing the surging black Spirit Force surrounding him against the approaching beams of energy. "Boom—Boom—"
A series of beams of energy collided with a spiral-shaped black light shield and exploded, creating a massive wave of energy that instantly engulfed a figure behind the shield.
Cooper couldn't help but take two steps forward, his eyes fixed on the location of the explosion, his mind still reeling from Lumian's sudden demise.
Cooper found it difficult to describe his complex feelings at that moment.
From initial disdain and contempt, to remaining confident despite the plan's failure, to being shocked and incredulous at the small Third Level Wizard from the south, this young wizard had given him far too many shocks and impacts in a short period of time.
This should have been an easy operation, but things have developed in a way that has completely deviated from his initial expectations and control.
Even Lumian, who came with them, perished.
If it weren't for the contingency plan left behind by that person, he might have followed in Lumian's footsteps.
Cooper now only wants to see that southern kid die completely before his eyes.
This is the result he wanted to see.
He knew Fomingge's personality; Fomingge would never allow a prodigy whose talent and potential in every aspect surpassed his to stay by his side.
So, this guy only has death as his path!... As Cooper raced, he suddenly felt the light above him dimming rapidly.
He subconsciously looked up and was shocked to find that the sky within a radius of dozens of miles had entered an extremely eerie state of calm.
The ripples caused by the activation of the Yuanling projection array, the raging winds and electric currents—everything vanished completely.
All the energy in the void flows in one direction.
Cooper followed the trajectory of those energy flows, his gaze quickly moving downwards until it landed on a certain spot. In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply, and his heart seemed to stop for a moment. An indescribable, immense, and bone-chilling feeling grew wildly from the depths of his heart like vines, instantly spreading throughout his entire body.
