The forbidden-spell-level Eye of Penetration beam was about to take shape!
It could be said that Saine had succeeded, or that he had failed.
Because this forbidden-spell-level Eye of Penetration beam was not yet mature.
Its destructive power had not reached the true standard of a single-target forbidden spell.
But it had still surpassed the limits of ordinary demigod-level spells!
Furthermore, a large part of why it was considered immature was that Saine could not wield or control it proficiently.
Research into a forbidden-spell-level spell like this should originally have been Saine's primary subject of study for the next several centuries.
Who would have thought he would be forced to rush a duck onto the perch and use it ahead of schedule?
His inability to wield it proficiently meant that Saine would find it difficult to lock the Eye of Penetration onto the God of Forging, Ferry.
At his current level, releasing a single forbidden-spell-level Eye of Penetration was already his limit. If it failed to accomplish anything, he would basically be finished.
The God of Forging, Ferry, was clearly in much better condition, and he had yet to use his defensive divine artifact.
After only two or three seconds of deliberation, Saine still decided to direct this single-target forbidden spell at the Crystal Barrier before him.
As an immature forbidden-spell-level spell, it quickly inflicted harm upon Saine as well.
Yuli and Gondor's desperate interception bought Saine the final moments he needed to chant the spell.
But the instant the spell succeeded, Saine was blasted diagonally sideways by the terrifying Element Power spilling from the forbidden spell.
For a mage to be injured and sent flying by his own spell was quite a rare sight.
Fortunately, the Eye of Penetration was aimed at the Crystal Barrier directly ahead of Saine,
