Chapter 977: Chapter 750: The Enigmatic Grand Arcana
"Reenact... the grand magical arts of the Immortals?"
Without a doubt, Reiger’s explanation caused everyone present to fall into shock.
"Are you sure?"
Revilia confirmed to Reiger with a very grim expression.
"Of course." Reiger calmly said, "After Thanatos was sent back, before the appearance of the green flesh, I heard singing."
"That singing should be the six Immortal avatars chanting the spell for the [Immortal Spirit Six Circles]."
"The green flesh emerged to absorb nutrients and Magic Power for the use of the [Immortal Spirit Six Circles]."
"Once the six Immortal avatars absorb enough Magic Power and complete the chant of the [Immortal Spirit Six Circles], the light of heaven will descend, and Orario will be destroyed."
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone gradually turned serious.
"...In this world, is there really magic that can directly destroy a city?"
Bert habitually raised doubts, but his tone was unexpectedly calm instead of hostile, likely suppressing the emotions of his own mood.
"If you ask me if it exists, then I can only answer, it definitely does."
Reiger shrugged.
Magic to destroy a city, he himself possesses it.
It’s none other than the magic rated as strategic-level on the continent of Akasha.
As long as he regains Lv.8 capability, activates the Morgan’s Ring, now Reiger can definitely cast strategic-level magic, or even magic beyond strategic level — [Spear That Shines at the End] which he also grasps.
And the [Immortal Spirit Six Circles] can be considered a strategic-level magic.
"In fact, if you just do a simple conversion, you’ll know."
Reiger pondered over his words and then began to explain to them.
"Nidhogg is a Monster King comparable to the one-eyed black dragon."
"And the one-eyed black dragon has the terrifying power to cause a collective defeat of the Lv.8 Zeus Clan and Lv.9 Hera Clan, leading to the downfall of the two thousand-year factions."
"Now, slaying this dragon has become the wish of everyone in the world, which currently cannot be realized."
"On the other hand, in ancient times, Nidhogg, comparable to the one-eyed black dragon, was defeated by just six Immortals using a great magical art."
"In other words, if this great magical art can be reenacted, even the one-eyed black dragon can be slain, thereby realizing the wish of everyone in the world."
Reiger raised one finger.
"Such a powerful magical art, if you say it doesn’t have the power to destroy a city, do you believe it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s breath slightly halted.
The one-eyed black dragon, the final target of the three adventurer commissions.
Its existence is like the Sword of Damocles perpetually floating above the head of the lower realm’s humanity, constantly threatening the entire lower realm.
The world even believes that once it awakens, the lower realm will return to chaos, and doomsday will descend.
In other words, the threat posed by this black dragon is not just to one city, but to the entire lower realm.
A grand magical art capable of slaying such a monster is naturally extraordinarily powerful.
Now, with Reiger’s conversion, everyone began to realize the reality.
The reality that Orario could be destroyed!
"Then, isn’t this really bad now!?"
Raul suddenly became anxious.
Everyone’s breathing also grew heavy.
The enemy is chanting a great magic that can destroy a city right now, and once it’s completed, Orario will be finished.
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt an urge to immediately rush back to the artificial labyrinth of Knossos.
Only Finn maintained his calm.
"No wonder my thumb keeps aching even after leaving the artificial labyrinth; the ruin is creeping towards us step by step." Finn bit his thumb and said, "But, a night has passed, and the enemy’s grand magical art still hasn’t been completed. Does this not mean that this grand magical art isn’t easy to unleash?"
Worthy of being the leader, he immediately noticed the key point.
Reiger sighed in his heart while nodding.
"This is the grand magical art that required the lives of six ancestral Immortals in ancient times to complete. The Polluted Immortal Spirit merely used opportunistic means to gather six avatars to initiate it, and there’s no way to say it can be cast so easily."
Reiger raised two fingers this time.
"There are two conditions that cannot be circumvented to cast such powerful magic."
"One: Vast Magic Power."
"Two: Complex Chanting."
"To destroy Orario, the magic power of a few avatars is certainly insufficient, which is why the green flesh was released to devour all life in the artificial labyrinth, extracting magic power from them. As long as the magic power isn’t gathered, the magic won’t be unleashed."
"And the chanting of the [Immortal Spirit Six Circles] inevitably exceeds that of extensive-length chants, requiring time to complete such a lengthy chant."
This is akin to the strategic-level magic of the Akasha continent, which also cannot succeed without complex conditions and preparations.
From this perspective, Reiger actually plays pretty unfairly.
His strategic-level magic is essentially releasing tactical-scale magic with enhancements, thereby reaching strategic-level. For instance, the [High-level Victory Sword] which once injured the underground beast Yarakulon is such an example. At least in terms of the chant, it only has a few stanzas, far less than typical strategic-level magic.
Also, the [Spear That Shines at the End] follows the same principle, and this grand magic doesn’t even have a chant; it only requires summoning the world’s end and calling forth the Star Anchor, needing sufficient casting time.
