Infinite Mage

The canyon had sunk, creating a fissure. aspect It was a narrow gap, just wide enough for one person to pass through, and a single beam of light was shining through it.

Gardrock found the desired location not far away.

“Look here.”

Gardrock pointed to the center of the beam of light. zenith Only there was the light clustered together. artist It looked fluffy like snowflakes, but upon closer inspection, you could see particles of light swirling around.

“Yes, but how is this possible?”

Gardrock, emphasizing the peculiarity of the phenomenon, cupped the light particles with both hands and said, “Do you see how the light gathers here?”

Shirone peered at it and scratched his head. adopt How could he explain this? arrow Naturally, light particles clumping together like this was impossible.
The Nor didn’t think differently either.

“This place is imbued with the essence of light.”

“No, it’s the light that stayed for so long that the essence settled. alert Essence can inhabit anything—wind, water, even thoughts—as long as those thoughts remain unchanged for a very long time.”

“So, this essence is gathering the light?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“When essence accumulates for a long time, it becomes a spirit. anchor A spirit is essentially an active form of essence. adopt Moreover, humans can make contracts with spirits. voyage If you contract with a light spirit, you can draw on the power of light anytime, anywhere. anxiety But finding one is like plucking a star from the sky.”

Shirone thought it was similar to the concept of mana stones.

When a certain quality accumulates over a long period, the essence of that quality materializes.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

A thousand years was far longer than the time given to humans. arrow The period for an essence to become a spirit would be similar. aluminum It made sense why finding spirits was so difficult.

“Haha, yes, maybe in a thousand years, as long as it doesn’t dissipate in the meantime.”

Shirone pointed at the essence and said, “So, this light will become a spirit eventually?”

“The space is tight. auction Shouldn’t some of us move to the other side?”

“It’s fine. anchor By the way, the magic of the land of the earth doesn’t have a wide range. academy With the essence of light, we can expand the scale as much as we want. alert Like this.”

“Anyway, we can use this place to reach Nor’s Haven. riddle Gather here, everyone.”

Gardrock grasped the cluster of light. beacon His fist glowed golden, and the light spread up his arm to his shoulder.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Nature’s power was limitless, so humans borrowing that power could expand their scale indefinitely.

However, it took quite a bit of time.

Soon, it seemed the light would cover his entire body.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even after a while, the light didn’t go past his shoulder, and a look of doubt crossed Gardrock’s eyes.

“Master, could it be that the essence of light has weakened?”

“Strange. acoustic Why is it taking so long? avalanche It usually takes about five minutes.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But that can’t be. legend This place only has one law. sphere That’s why we use it as an intermediate base.”

“Impossible. crystal It worked fine three days ago. antique For the essence’s energy to change, it would take at least hundreds of years. audit Or something could be weakening the essence’s energy.”

From Clove’s words, Gardrock realized. arrow It might be a delusion, but looking for other factors while ignoring the only correct answer was an even bigger delusion.

The essence of light began to waver. beacon The ground, and finally the entire canyon, shook as if an earthquake was happening.

“What’s wrong? attic What’s the problem?”

“Could it be…? avalanche But why?”

“Get out of here quickly! galaxy It’s the Vortex Serpent! timber The essence is destabilizing!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Looking from outside, the entire area was shaking. riddle Something significant had to be nearby.

If the cliff collapsed, they’d be crushed, so Shirone’s group hurried out of the canyon fissure.

But they couldn’t see anything snake-like around.

“Damn! airport Where is it? portal Where’s it coming from?”

Tess focused her senses, searching the surroundings. acid The tremors on the left and right were different. artist The creature was rounding the corner on the right.

Rian drew his greatsword and stood in front of Shirone.

The mages formed a formation and prepared for battle.

The ground shook so much that it was hard to stand. arrow Tess realized something was wrong. abstract Her senses and reality didn’t match. arena With such tremors, it should have already appeared before them.

“There! academy Over there!”

A tiny, white creature, no larger than three meters, was crouched on a rock on all fours.

Shirone pointed in surprise.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

But could this really be called a creature?

He had never seen such a white creature in his life.

It had no eyes, nose, or mouth. altitude It resembled a salamander, but its surface was smooth like polished jade.

At Gardrock’s shout, Shirone instinctively stepped back. antique As his view opened, he finally saw it.

“It’s not that one!”

“What is that? canvas Is that the Vortex Serpent?”

A shadow of the Vortex Serpent was cast over the canyon. antenna Unbelievably, it was a shadow large enough to fill the entire cliff.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

The light from its body was casting the shadow.

By the time Shirone realized this, the shadow had already split its massive jaws and was lunging at them.

A curtain of darkness blocked their view. abstract The sheer size defied common sense, making it hard to believe they were under attack.

Shirone turned his gaze back to the rock. audit The salamander-like creature was glowing intensely.

Shirone’s Photon Cannon exploded.

“Danger!”

The moment the light spread, they realized how close the sharp shadow claws had come. riddle Just a bit later, and they would have been torn apart.

As Shirone’s group was engulfed in the darkness, Gardrock, watching from the canyon fissure, shouted.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Vortex Serpent screamed as the Photon Cannon ripped through it.

It was likely similar to the mechanism of the Harvester. aspect A creature without a mouth couldn’t possibly have a sound organ.

“Kiiaaaah!”

When they regained their senses, they saw the shadow of the Vortex Serpent retreating like storm clouds.

Amy wiped the cold sweat from her brow and asked.

Most prey lost their lives to the Vortex Serpent’s first strike. wizard Trapped in darkness, they couldn’t even see the attack coming.

“What is that? armor Is it a creature or not? timber Is that salamander controlling it?”

It was fortunate they blocked the first attack.

“How can that be? palette There must be a body for there to be a shadow!”

Gardrock emerged from the canyon fissure and explained.

“No, the true form of the Vortex Serpent is the shadow. adapt There is no main body. arcade The thing on the rock is just an ‘avatar’ created by the Vortex Serpent’s shadow.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Vortex Serpent hesitated to approach. shadow Among the humans it had killed, none had emitted light before, so it was naturally cautious.

“I don’t know. alert We call this a ‘reversal of law.’ That’s an outsider. atlas I don’t know where it came from, but it’s definitely not from any world we can imagine.”

Shirone realized something. altitude This might not be his grave after all.

As the avatar’s body glowed, the shadow grew larger. anxiety It was similar to a wild beast displaying itself before its enemy.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was Canis.

Kanya voiced what everyone else was thinking. antique However, one more person understood what Shirone meant.

“A cat? august A mouse? autumn Are you joking?”

“It’s like a wild animal. antenna It probably wasn’t a common predator in its original world. palette Maybe like a cat or a mouse. anxiety If it were the top predator, it wouldn’t react so defensively.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It really existed, a world where darkness rules over light.”

“Shirone is right. avalanche If it’s a world where rules are reversed, all creatures would exist as shadows. aluminum The Vortex Serpent wouldn’t be particularly strong. antenna Of course, things are different here.”

Reversal of law. anchor What was written on Arcane’s note was true.

He watched the Vortex Serpent’s every move with wonder.

Escape was impossible in this state.

As expected, the Vortex Serpent’s law had weakened the essence of light.

Gardrock examined the canyon fissure.

“Hey, we’ve passed the crisis, but stay alert. arrow Its weakness is light. alien That’s why it doesn’t act during the day. accent I don’t know why the law is broken, but using light magic gives us a chance.”

But it wasn’t time to give up. antenna Shirone’s Photon Cannon had been strong enough to repel the Vortex Serpent.

Shirone recalled his battle with the Harvester. arrow From that fight, he learned that shock wasn’t important to darkness. canvas The key was the total amount of energy.

Amy unleashed Fireballs. admire Fire contained light, so it should be effective.

The eight beams of light struck the Vortex Serpent. galaxy A terrible scream echoed.

Shirone cast Photon Cannon, and eight photons appeared in irregular positions on the left and right.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Canis couldn’t even attempt his magic. aspect Attacking with darkness only made the Serpent stronger.

The Vortex Serpent’s shadow caught fire.

But it was like an ant biting an elephant’s skin. galaxy The shadow was so enormous it felt like cheating.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Vortex Serpent moved in wide circles, true to its name. anxiety When Shirone hit its side with the Photon Cannon, it writhed in pain and pursued him.

If you couldn’t control a darkness greater than the Vortex Serpent, you’d be devoured.

The outcome between identical attributes was determined by power.

Shirone left his friends. audit If the creature’s shroud enveloped them again, it would be truly dangerous.

As the Vortex Serpent abruptly changed direction, its massive tail swung towards Amy’s group.

“Aaah! adopt It’s coming!”

Clove clutched his head and screamed.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy deployed Fire Mist. athlete The fire’s smoke protected everyone, but it wasn’t enough to burn the tail.

The tail caught fire, but its trajectory didn’t change.

Just as the tail was about to sweep them away like a broom, Amy cast Fire Wall for extra protection.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amy bit her lip and increased the power. palette She was determined to hold her ground, even if it cost her life.

Amy shouted, not even pausing to catch her breath.

Just as the tail was about to hit Amy, it suddenly diverted, grazing her face. harbor The Vortex Serpent couldn’t bear the fire’s pain and pulled back.

“Shirone!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 185: Reversal of the Law (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Photon Cannon fired in rapid succession.

The Vortex Serpent snapped its jaws and engulfed Shirone. arch Simultaneously, the Photon Cannon exploded, blowing the Serpent’s head apart.

The firing speed increased, and then it became a continuous beam that pushed the shadow to the opposite wall.

Amy estimated it fired about 200 rounds per minute. alpha For Shirone, who held the school’s speed record, this was possible.

While it was good for their side to be winning, Clove couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“What kind of magic is that? arrow It’s ridiculous! antique That can’t be possible!”

Shirone had excluded mass from the photons.

With zero impact force, the beam couldn’t tear the shadow, but it slowly ate into the Serpent’s body.

Unlike the Mecha, the Nor could exert great power alone. admire But they had never seen anything like this in Heaven.

Kanya and Rena were equally shocked.

Seeing someone single-handedly fight the feared Vortex Serpent was awe-inspiring.

Shirone’s beam turned red.

From the Photon Cannon’s photon output, it further compressed the energy to a single-wavelength laser.

The Vortex Serpent tried to recover its shadow realm and push back the laser, but it only resulted in chain explosions.

More so, they were winning. airport Seeing the Serpent thrashing against the wall sent chills down their spines.

The fierce roar echoed.

The Vortex Serpent was terrified.

In its original world, it was a lower-tier predator. echo It had crossed into Heaven through a strange tunnel ten thousand years ago.

“Kiiaaaah!”

But now, that comfort was breaking. afford By a mere human it used to tear apart for fun.

Unable to evolve without predators, it had lived comfortably here.
