Chapter 12: Space Magic?!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the way to Ye Tian’s house, Todd asked for more information about Ye Tian. When he found out that Ye Tian had been living in the town, he stopped in his tracks.

“My lord?”

Seeing Todd suddenly stop, Peter was shocked and recalled if he had said something wrong.

“It’s okay.”

Todd continued forward. His expression was normal, but a thought flashed through his mind.

Since Ye Tian had always lived in a small town and was powerful, could his brother’s death be related to him?

According to the information he learned later, when his brother returned, the Empire’s front line had already been defeated.

Under such circumstances, the combat power behind them was not much, let alone in a remote place like Rock Town.

After thinking about it carefully, Todd felt that his speculation made sense.

…

The sun was setting, and the evening glow enveloped the town.

A beam of light shone into the room through the window and landed on a figure sitting cross-legged. This person’s clothes and hair were covered in thick dust as if he had not moved for a long time.

Buzz—

At this moment, an inexplicable and indescribable fluctuation suddenly erupted from this figure.

Dust flew everywhere.

Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes and a glint flashed across them.

“I actually broke through to become an Advanced Mage in one go.”

A slightly surprised voice sounded from Ye Tian.

At that time, he sensed the abnormality in his body and knew that he was about to break through, so he made preparations.

However, the breakthrough actually took a long time. If not for the True Spirit Ignition Spell that could maintain the nourishment of his body with magic power, he would have starved to death long ago.

“I can’t do this again.”

Thinking back, Ye Tian felt a lingering fear. Thankfully, he had an unlimited lifespan and the nourishment of the True Spirit Ignition Spell.

He stood up, and the bones in his body emitted crackling sounds that had not moved for too long.

“How long has it been?”

Sensing the thick dust on the furniture in the room, Ye Tian could not help but be puzzled.

At that moment, the barrier outside fluctuated. Ye Tian retracted his fingers from the table and walked over.

Previously, when he set up the barrier, ordinary methods could not break it. He had to use magic power.

All this time, there had been no movement.

Now that he had just woken up, there was actually a mage knocking on his door. He wanted to see what was going on.

“Heh, this barrier is interesting. An Intermediate Fireball actually didn’t break it. Fine, I’ll use one more.”

At the entrance of Ye Tian’s house, Todd saw the light of the fireball dissipate and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. Then, he chanted an incantation and used fire magic again.

Peter and the old man hid ten steps away. The terrifying heat lingering in the air made the two of them feel uneasy.

“I hope Ye Tian is still alive and can kill him!”

The old man stared at Todd’s back and prayed in his heart.

Peter was thinking about how to please Todd. The other party had shown that he was very strong. If he could obtain Todd’s admiration, he might have a chance to occupy Free Town alone.

“Who are you? Why are you attacking my barrier?”

Ye Tian’s figure appeared inside the door. He removed the barrier and looked calmly at the man who had condensed fire magic.

The strength of the other party’s magic power did not make Ye Tian feel threatened.

This was also the reason why he dared to remove the barrier.

“You’re Ye Tian?”

Looking at the young man who looked like he was 18 or 19 years old, Todd did not react.

According to Peter, Ye Tian should be in his forties or fifties.

“I am. Who are you?” Ye Tian asked.

“Todd Lagren.” Todd introduced himself.

Todd?

Ye Tian frowned when he heard that. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere before but could not remember where.

Todd asked, “More than ten years ago, a group of defeated soldiers came to Rock Town. Do you remember them?”

He remembered!

So it was him!

At the mention of the defeated army, Ye Tian’s memories came back to him. He remembered that when he dealt with a group of people, the old man in the town said that the leader had an elder brother who was a mage.

The old man even asked Ye Tian to leave the town as soon as possible.

“You killed my brother?!”

Todd had been observing Ye Tian and noticed the change in his expression.

Ye Tian replied frankly, “That’s right. Anyone who dares to bully the residents of Rock Town will have to bear my wrath.”

“Hmph, you didn’t expect him to have a brother, did you? Blood for blood, Ye Tian. Prepare to die!”

Todd snorted. He thought that Ye Tian would not admit it, but he did not expect him to ask so easily. He felt provoked.

“You want to kill me? Give it a try.”

Ye Tian curled his finger and said disdainfully.

“Great Lord of Flames…”

Todd clasped his hands in front of him and made a pious sound. The fire elements in the air were summoned and gathered in his palm.

In the blink of an eye, a head-sized fireball was condensed.

Todd looked at Ye Tian coldly and pushed the fireball toward him.

Wherever the fireball passed, even the air became distorted.

Peter and the old man looked at Ye Tian nervously.

They thought about it from another perspective. If they were to face this fireball, they would definitely be burned to ashes.

A smile appeared on Todd’s lips. This fireball was an Intermediate spell and one of his ultimate moves.

Even his teacher had said that as long as he used this move, very few people would be able to withstand it.

With Teacher’s strength, he definitely wouldn’t lie to him!

Looking at the approaching fireball, Ye Tian finally moved. He raised two fingers on his right hand and drew a circle in front of him.

A hole suddenly appeared in the void, and the fireball directly entered it. The high temperature in the air immediately disappeared.

“Space magic?!”

Todd screamed when he saw this.

Then, he recalled Ye Tian’s magical technique and could not help but exclaim in surprise, “You’re an Advanced Mage!”

Only Advanced Mages could cast magic without chanting an incantation.

“Congratulations on guessing correctly. Unfortunately, there’s no reward. I can only reward you with death!”

Ye Tian smiled faintly, looking extremely cruel in Todd’s eyes.

“You can’t kill me. My master, Ricks, is a Great Mage and is about to break through to become a Magister. If you kill me, he will definitely avenge me. You will definitely regret it!”

Faced with death, Todd felt terrified and directly mentioned his master.

He had spent a long time and was not far from becoming an Advanced Mage. He did not want to die so early.

“Noisy!”

A slightly impatient tone came from Ye Tian’s mouth. He rubbed a flame on his fingertip and flicked it at Todd.

The flames turned into flames that filled the sky and covered Todd’s body.

Knowing the difference in strength between the two sides, Todd did not even have the courage to resist. He turned around and ran, but unfortunately, he was still caught by the flames.

A blood-curdling scream came from the flames.

Todd rushed four to five meters away and fell to the ground, no longer moving. After the flames dissipated, only a handful of dust was left on the ground.
