Mages Are Too OP (WN)

Chapter 574 Elemental Creatures in Their Domain Have Almost No Weaknesses

The gray-robed Mage who had seen an Elemental Lord before looked a little stiff.

Looking at this unbelievably large elemental creature, he felt like he had been transported back to his days as a youthful magic apprentice.

That was also the year his teacher failed a summoning spell experiment and was killed by a wind Elemental Lord that was accidentally summoned.

He was originally a summoning magic apprentice, but because the death of his master caused him to become afraid of summoning creatures, he switched departments to spatial magic.

He chose it because he had heard that spatial Mages had the highest survival rate of all Mages.

Although it was difficult to get started at first, once one stepped into the ranks of an official Mage and learned Teleportation, almost no one could kill them.

Sure enough, after becoming a spatial Mage, his survivability was greatly improved.

The students of the summoning department who were his contemporaries back then had all died, mostly at the hands of uncontrolled summoned beasts.

The only one who was still alive was him, the one who switched departments.

This was not to say that all the people in the summoning department were dead, just that his contemporaries were all dead.

Summoning magic was still quite powerful later down the line.

Although he had now become a Legendary Mage, the fear that had been hidden within him for nearly a century still bubbled up uncontrollably when he saw the Elemental Lord.

“Can we leave first?” This gray-robed Mage looked at the huge ice and snow body that gradually appeared in the thick fog. “I have a bad feeling.”

“Greene, you coward!” Oepmop, who had approached from the side, roared. “We five Legends are here, so what if he turns into an Elemental Lord? Can we still not defeat a little guy?”

As Oepmop said, Legendary Mages were the pinnacle of battle power in the main plane, and only Demigods could overpower them.

In the entire main plane, apart from a certain two angels running around, there was only one resident Demigod, the World Tree.

And because it was a mythical creature, after the angels descended to the main plane, their strength would be suppressed by natural laws and greatly reduced.

Their stats on the surface were only about a little better than a Legend’s.

But in essence, the difference in combat power between the two sides was still very obvious.

For example, several Legends of the Red Magic Tower suffered a great loss under the dark angel Parn.

Angels who were already able to understand the power of natural laws were much better at understanding and using power than Legends, even at equal strength.

In addition to these three mythical creatures, theoretically, Legendary Mages were without rival.

After being shouted at so furiously, the Legendary Mage named Greene finally reacted.

He was already a Legendary Mage, so he shouldn’t be afraid of Elemental Lords anymore.

As he was thinking that, the ice giant Roland had transformed into suddenly moved. He took two sudden steps forward, then leaned forward and slammed his fist down.

The ice elemental that Roland was now transformed into was quite tall, and the distance between two steps was nearly thirty meters. From a distance, it seemed to move slowly, but in reality, it was extremely fast.

The huge ice fist with a diameter of more than a meter slammed down, causing a terrifying sonic boom.

Oepmop’s eyes went wide with fear. Many people were under the impression that the more massive the creature, the more sluggish and clumsy its movements.

In most cases, this was true.

A large body meant an extremely exaggerated weight.

Large creatures wanting to have exaggerated speed and agility must be able to perform in bursts of power while bearing their enormous weight, but without causing damage to its body bearing the weight.

Most flesh and blood creatures couldn’t do this.

But dragons could, and elemental creatures could.

The ice Elemental Lord that Roland transformed into was very tall and looked very bulky.

Its head was a large round ball of ice, its appearance was blurred, and only its eyes, mouth, and nose were slightly distinguishable.

Its body was also round like a snowball, with an uneven surface.

Its legs and hands were also connected by several snowballs of equal number.

It looked round and fat.

This Elemental Lord would be somewhat cute and unintimidating if it was about the same size as a human.

But the deadly fact was, this thing was nearly thirty meters tall, and its body width reached a frightening eight meters or so.

Even the cutest thing at such a size could cause megalophobia.

Similarly, a cat is cute, but when enlarged into a tiger… Humans would only be worthy to feed it food.

So obviously, even if Roland’s transformation into an Elemental Lord was quite hilarious, it could still make people feel extremely scared.

An attack came crashing down on Oepmop, and he was so scared that he immediately activated Magic Shield while teleporting out of the attack range.

The huge, round, icy fist broke the sound barrier as it smashed into the ice.

The thick ice layer trembled, and countless fragments of ice splattered everywhere where the ice fist met the iced ground, landing with tinkling sounds.

Oepmop looked at the terrifying sight from nearby and subconsciously patted his chest.

His magic capacity was now running low, and the Magic Shield probably wouldn’t be able to block such a punch.

But without waiting for him to truly breathe a sigh of relief, the Elemental Lord that was still in a prone and hammered state suddenly raised its head and opened its mouth to let out a sudden roar. A circle of cold currents, visible to the naked eye as if they were small tornadoes, assaulted Oepmop like the howls of a banshee.

It looked like wind, but this whirlwind was made up completely of ice elements.

Oepmop’s Magic Shield was attacked by the extreme cold, emitting a creaking sound, and the outer layer of the shield rapidly frosted over.

The Magic Shield would shatter at any moment.

If Oepmop was taken aback a moment ago, he was now on the verge of being scared out of his wits.

After another teleportation, he moved away from the Elemental Lord and shouted to his companions around him, “Are you all just going to watch? Mess him up.”

The other three laughed, except for a certain gray-robed Legendary Mage who had past trauma.

They had been wanting to laugh at Oepmop for a while now.

“This thing’s magic power fluctuation is messy,” the Mage flying in midair said. “Obviously that boy can’t harness such strong elemental power, he’s already out of control. He’s probably already unconscious from the rampant mental power.”

As he spoke, the Elemental Lord heard the sound and turned back to stretch out his huge palm to grab overhead.

However, the Mage only lightly flew upward a dozen meters and dodged it.

The Elemental Lord opened its mouth again, and an extremely cold whirlwind spewed into the air at the gray-robed Mage as it roared.

The gray-robed Mage did not move a muscle.

The frost condensed on the Magic Shield with the same creaking sound.

But the Mage was unmoved, not at all anxious.

He was not out of mana, and this extreme cold attack alone did not affect him.

“You guys help out and control it.” The Mage in midair condensed two fireballs with both hands once again. “Wait for me to blow its shell off and rip that kid out.”

The three Legendary Mages next to him struck at the same time, and three long spatial rifts instantly cut off the Elemental Lord’s legs, as well as an arm.

The Elemental Lord’s massive body collapsed, slumping to the ground with a roar of resignation and fury.

Then two blue fireballs with a diameter of more than a meter hit at the same time.

The violent explosion was mixed with a large amount of vaporized fog.

“Now that should melt him.” The Legendary Mage in the air gently breathed out.

He was finishing his sentence when suddenly a long ice blade broke through the fog, cutting a perfect semicircle and chopping at the Mage in the air.

The Mage froze for a moment and immediately teleported to the ground more than twenty meters behind him. After the long white ice blade missed, a huge figure rushed out of the thick fog.

Unlike the hulking, oval-shaped Elemental Lord from before, the ice figure in front of them was significantly smaller, only about fifteen meters tall.

But it had a clear human appearance and a torso identical to that of a human.

The five Legendary Mages all froze as the huge ice-man that rushed out was even faster than before. The Mage had just teleported to the ground and the ice-man had already rushed to a position more than twenty meters before him, striking with a forward vertical slash.

Translucent, blue, and at least thirteen meters long, the ice blade chopped down from the air.

It was fast and furious.

The swinging trajectory of the ice blade was barely visible.

But this Legendary Mage was not surprised or afraid; for Mages at their level, vision and dynamic visual acuity were no longer too important.

They could sense the opponent’s intention to attack with mental power alone, scattered around them.

He teleported back another thirty meters or so when the ice blade was about to hit.

Then just a moment after his teleportation, the ice-man seemed to smile slightly… It also teleported at the same time.

Right as the Mage finished teleporting and alighted on the ground, he saw that the ice-man had also teleported at the same time, and it kept its blade in a downward swinging position. What the hell!

With only that thought flashing through his head, the Mage was struck by the massive ice blade.

The blade was taller than his entire body and almost as wide.

The blade with its arching curve didn’t so much as cleave as it did smash directly into his Magic Shield

He was slammed into the ice with his shield, the ice blade hitting the ground completely, the massive mass impacting into the ice and then reverberating back.

The ice blade’s nearly two-meter-long blade broke inch by inch, sending large chunks of ice and stone flying in all directions.

With one blow, only a small part of the hilt of the ice blade was left.

And the shattered ice blade fragments quickly “grew” where they landed, creaking and cackling to form a solid ice wall that was over ten meters long, over six meters high, and about two meters wide.

“Barnard!”

The other four Legendary Mages were shocked.

They looked at the iceman, who was still temporarily in a forward step slashing pose, with shocked eyes. With such a large physique, it was surprising that he could also use Teleportation.

And… the timing of the spell was so well chosen, and the distance of the teleportation was so perfectly grasped. “Careful, he’s obviously intelligent now; the boy’s woken up.”

The old Legendary Mage named Greene’s face was filled with shock as he teleported into midair and shouted.

At the sound of his voice, Roland stood upright and swung his hands to the right as he gripped the hilt of his sword.

During the swing, a large number of ice elements could be seen condensing on the hilt of the blade, and in less than half a second, the shattered blade had materialized again, while the blade slashed into this Mage who was talking in midair. He was sent flying like a baseball being struck.

Unfortunately, the Legendary Mage’s Magic Shield wasn’t easy to break, and Greene was only sent flying down to the ground, smashing many icicles before getting back up on his own. He was only a little dizzy, but not at all injured.

Then the fifteen-meter tall ice-man seemed to frown.

The ice-man at this time was Roland.

The ridiculous giant Elemental Lord from before was just a special guard mechanism generated by the ice element itself after Roland’s mental power went rampant.

If the terrifying magic volume brought by one magic cube brick could be easily controlled by Roland, then the magic volume brought by two magic bricks was already beyond what Roland could control.

It was too much. This was the reason why he had now become about fifteen meters tall; his mental power only allowed him to control so much cold magic; any more, and he would lose control. Oepmop was on the sidelines and saw that Greene was also sent flying. He finally became furious. “What are you still looking at! Do something to get this kid, dead or alive. If we keep this up, the ice domain will continue to get bigger and it will be even harder for us to fight.”

“Got it!”

Greene, who was already on his feet, and the other two Legendary Mages immediately began to fly high into the air.

And one of them spread apart a Dimensional Anchor.

It had a greater range than Roland’s Dimensional Anchor and there were more translucent chains.

“This kid can teleport, so limit his mobility first. We’ll be on the back foot if he’s this big, runs fast, and can teleport.”

As expected of a Legendary Mage, he had his own profound understanding of how to control a battle.

“Greene, get the summoned beasts to help.”

Greene nodded, and with a wave of his hands, three stone golems appeared in front of him.

Although he majored in spatial magic, he would occasionally find time to practice summoning magic. After all, he was once a summoning apprentice, and he still had some affection for summoning magic.

The three stone golems were quite tall, roughly coming up to the chin of Roland’s ice giant form.

As soon as these three stone golems appeared, they rushed at Roland.

They didn’t run as fast as Roland but managed to get in front of Greene and the other Mage.

As for the other two Mages-one clapped his hands and a gray barrier directly enveloped Roland.

Imprisonment, a level-five abjuration spell.

It could protect the caster and also imprison one’s enemies.

Roland was inside violently slashing at the inner layer of the barrier with his ice blade, and soon the barrier cracked.

The power of the ice element was simply too great for a non-specialist’s barrier to trap him for long.

The three stone golems arrived just as the barrier broke, and they swarmed Roland the ice giant, using their advantage in numbers and weight to pounce on Roland, and pinned him to the ground.

The four giants kept rolling on the ground.

The other Mage kept making magical gestures with both hands, rather quickly, and two seconds later, finally finished casting the spell.

A red light appeared in the black night sky above him, which then grew brighter and brighter, and about three seconds later, a burning meteor was seen falling diagonally from the sky, drawing a dark red flame trail.

With great difficulty, Roland kicked away the three stone golems that had no intelligence, only instinct, and as soon as he looked up he saw the huge fire meteor smashing down on his head.

Rumble!

The terrifying impact crashed the ice surface into a large crater with a radius of at least thirty meters, and then the meteor also exploded, spreading flames around it in a radius of at least five hundred meters or so.

The ice was scorched and a large amount of water vapor rose.

“Now he should be dead.”

The Mage who cast the fire meteor breathed in relief.

The rest of the group had serious expressions and didn’t look too confident.

The flames in the pit quickly disappeared, and a large amount of water flowed to the bottom of the pit, followed by a humanoid water elemental standing upright once again.

At the same time… the water elemental’s body was gradually turning into ice.

“Damn! Elementization is too disgusting.” Oepmop bristled in anger.

The fear within Green’s mind was once again amplified. “We have no chance of winning if we fight in the domain of an elemental creature. How about… going first, or at least fighting him outside the domain.”

The other three looked annoyed when they heard this.
