Chapter 249: Breaking The Rules of Magic
[The World of Ruen]
Jason felt a maniacal grin spreading on his face as he looked through the eyes of his subordinate and saw the Lich standing inside a cave and looking up at the Falcons in curiosity! Jason immediately began to calculate the distance between where he was and the Lich’s location, and Jason let go of Raya’s body and allowed himself to fall back once he was sure that the teleportation wouldn’t take too much out of his magic reserves! Jason commanded Raya and Fenrir to continue fighting the Giants so they wouldn’t join the main battle happening at the deserted city, and his subordinates accepted his command before Jason activated a skill!
[King’s Substitute] has been activated!
Jason suddenly vanished from where he had been, and a large Iron-Bladed Falcon appeared beside Raya and immediately joined in the fight! On the other side of the world, Jason appeared in the sky and he grinned down at the Immortal Lich as he began free-falling through the air. The immortal Lich had still been watching the Falcon’s curiously, but its eyes widened slightly when it saw Jason appear from thin air! The immortal Lich immediately raised his hand and activated a fire spell that shot towards Jason like an arrow!
[Mirror of the Sundering Heart]!!
An artifact suddenly popped up in front of Jason! Its effect allowed it to reflect the first attack it receives back towards the attacker, and once the flames struck the mirror, they turned around and headed back for the Lich! The mirror cracked from the intense power behind that spell since it was only a C Rank artifact, but Jason didn’t need it anymore, so he threw it to the side and immediately activated the [Iron Storm] skill! A thousand magic blades appeared in the air around Jason, and Jason put his hand forward and shot them towards the Lich!
Ratatatatatatat!
The blades flew into and then through the mountain like a thousand bullets! Jason was still falling through the air, and he narrowed his eyes as he saw a beam of light appearing through the darkness! Jason summoned a Falcon from his Alternate Dimension and put it in front of him, and the beam of light slammed into the Falcon’s body! The Flacon let out a cry of pain from the attack before it immediately withered and died!
’What the fuck is that? Decay magic?’
[The Lich is using a branch of magic known as Necrosis.]
The system quickly corrected Jason, and Jason clicked his tongue as the dust cleared to show that the Lich had hundreds of magic circles all around him! The Lich was looking up at Jason with it’s terrifying gaze and Jason knew that this was going to be one of the most taxing magic battles he had ever been through! The Lich joined it’s hands together and muttered an incantation as hundreds of bright lights shot out from the magic circles and shot towards Jason like missiles! Jason immediately activated the [Exoskeletal Armor]! The added weight from the armor allowed Jason to fall faster than the light spells, and he was able to reach the ground below as the spells flew over him! Jason dashed forward and the Lich put his hand down and sent another volley of attacks towads Jaosn while also calling on various monsters that had been hiding underground!
The monsters tore themselves out from the ground and charged towards Jason to attack him, but Jason easily slapped them to the side and destroyed all of them in one swing while trying his best not ot get hit by the beams! The Lich’s eyes widened in surprise at the display of power! The Lich already thought that Jason was a summoner, and from his experience, summoners didn’t normally have much physical strength. The fact that Jason was able to slap away various high-level A Rank summons meant that he was above S Rank!
The Lich finally decided to talk:
"!@#@!@!#@@!?"
Jason’s eyes narrowed as he heard the grating sound come out from the Lich’s mouth, but it didn’t even take a second before the system came to his rescue.
[New Language Detected: T’laini Tongue]
[Would the user like to outlearn this tongue? Yes/No?]
Jason chose yes, and he felt that familiar sensation passing over his tongue and ears as he quickly acquired the skills! Jason got rid of the sensation easily enough, and he could hear the Lich’s words suddenly becoming something understandable!
"- the hell are you? I’ve never even heard of your kind before, so why have you decided to attack me?"
Jason slapped away another one of the Lich’s subordinates as he dashed up the hillside towards the Lich! Jason was shocked that the Lich had the ability to communicate at such a high level, but it didn’t change anything about his plans! Jason came here for the bastards heart, and he wasn’t going to leave without it!
The Lich grew enraged when Jason didn’t answer his question, and he put his hand out and activated another Necrosis spell! A wide magic circle appeared in the air above him, and a thick bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the circle and headed straight for Jason!
Jason never stopped his stride moving upwards, and the Lich already thought that he had finally gotten him, but he was shocked when a large Falcon suddenly appeared in the air in front of him! The Lich frowned as he tried to ignore the Falcon and turned back to Jason, but once the Lich turned back down, he was shocked to see that Jason had vanished and in his place was the same Falcon that was just in front of him!
’!’
A feeling of pure, unfiltered terror came over the Lich’s entire body when he saw Jason hovering beside him with his fist pulled back and the Lich immediately activated his highest ranking defensive artifact to form a shield in front of him! And a moment later, a punch slammed into the shield!
KA-BOOM!
It sounded like thunder clapping across the sky! Jason’s fist formed a large crack over the surface of the S Rank defensive artifact, and the Lich’s eyes widened as he was picked off his feet and thrown back through the wall behind him! Jason dashed forward like a bat out of hell to chase down the Lich, and the Lich put up his staff and fired off another hundred magic spells at Jason’s location!
[King’s Substitute]!
All of a sudden, Jason vanished from in front of the Lich again, and the Lich watched in shock as a large Falcon replaced Jason and took the volley of attacks! The spells that the Lich fired struck the Falcon and killed it in a horrific manner, and Jason appeared from the side with his hand pulled back before unleashing another punch into the Lich’s defenses!
KA-BOOM!
Crack!
The defensive shield around the Lich gained another large crack, and the Lich suddenly came to the realization that Jason’s physical strength was far higher than he had predicted! Jason was a summoner, so it was common knowledge that Jason should be weak physically, but it was obvious that Jason was breaking all of the rules of magic without even trying! The Lich suddenly began to mutter a spell in a silent voice as he moved to create some space between him and Jason!
More of the Lich’s subordinates came out from underground, and they grabbed onto the large Falcons that Jason had been substituting with to give the Lich time to run away! The Lich created a magic circle under Jason’s feet and a large worm roared as it flew out of the Magic circle and tried to swallow him. Jason put his hand to the side and grabbed one of the A-rank swords from his Alternate dimension, and the sword suddenly erupted in a brilliant yellow light!
