Mage Manual-Chapter 1374 - 1006: Sword Maiden Void Wings

Heavenly Kingdom of Blood Moon, the capital built from bones turned to dust, glaciers formed from the Blood Sea began to melt, and tombs forged from flesh all collapsed. Tens of thousands of Technique Spirits perished in waves, and the ancestral court of the Blood Moon, managed for millennia, was destroyed overnight!

The Skinning Twins, Crimson Maid, Shadow Priest, Blessing Angel, and other servants watched in despair as their home crumbled. Every building here was a wonder they painstakingly constructed, every river nurtured thousands of Technique Spirits!

The Skinning Twins wept, "O benevolent and merciful Master, is this truly worth it!?"

"It is worth it."

The Extreme Master of Blood Moon stood on the altar, wielding the wonders constructed over countless years by the Heavenly Kingdom of Blood Moon, draining its seven World Secret Domains, as if placing the entire realm on a gambling table!

"The vast past is only to connect a vast future!" The eyes of the Extreme Master of Blood Moon streamed with blood tears, and his tail bristled: "Fortunately, there is death, which allows for so much immortality!"

Not only him, but the All-knowing Weaver, Imaginary Music Master, and Lord of Infinite Abyss were doing the same thing!

To deal with just one Legendary Mage would not require such a commotion, but the problem is that he is also the touch of the Pillar Gods, with Void Realm’s backlash being unimaginably severe. More importantly, the sole Supreme of Magic is enraged!

Over the Sea of Stars reigning above Heaven, starlight descended bit by bit, like a beautiful, dazzling rain. When the Divine Lords initiated wonders, their heavenly kingdoms must manifest in Heaven, and as these star showers fell upon their heavenly kingdoms, it felt as though stars were crushing down upon them one by one!

It only took a few hours for Dazzling Star to initially grasp the Supreme’s scepter!

Thus, the Divine Lords could only focus a small portion of their power on Ruby Mountain, most was consumed resisting the backlash from Void Realm and the Supreme’s fury!

But they must seize this opportunity, compared to Hell, ascending as a demigod is Ash Heath’s greatest crisis! If they do not seize the Supreme’s prey, they will eventually become sacrifices for the Supreme!

So, for the path to the Supreme,

go to Hell, Ash Heath.

The Extreme Master of Blood Moon and the others watched Ruby Mountain with anticipation, but saw a new figure in Hell.

*

Is Dazzling Star trying to kill me?

Impossible, Ash instantly dismissed this possibility. If Dazzling Star killed him, others could usurp the Supreme’s power, and Dazzling Star would face more challenges, with the difficulty of retrieving the Supreme’s power increasing several times.

It could only be the Four Divine Lords, their wonders permeate the Heavenly Curtain of Allstars, it’s possible they will initiate Mysterious Chains again.

I possess the greatest share of the Supreme, yet I am not even a demigod, only through my death can they have a greater chance of reaching the Supreme’s boundary.

But to mobilize so extensively, only to break my Void Wings, I thought they would directly drop a wonder to crush me... perhaps a mage ascending as a demigod receives protection from the Void Realm?

Ash looked up at Hell, compared to the eternal existence of Hell, he was utterly insignificant.

This is the pressure Rajesh faced at that time.

He tried to dissipate his thoughts as much as possible to avoid fear, but he couldn’t, as the soul’s agony constantly reminded him of his broken Void Wings. He no longer had wings to bear the fourfold Hell, and Hell was about to crush him.

The Divine Lords’ judgment was correct; a demigod of Hell might not best a demigod with Supreme tail feathers, but Hell can certainly suppress a mage with only the Supreme tail feathers.

Ash couldn’t even be bothered to think of a way to break the situation, the premise to do so is the Divine Lords willing to play a rule-abiding game with you, now the Divine Lords were flipping the table to mess with you, like adults wielding submachine guns in a pasture targeting La La Fei, how can La La Fei resist such unreasonable hooliganism?

But when he heard the footsteps behind him, Ash’s heart trembled.

He turned his head and saw the Sword Maiden standing next to him, this red-haired girl with a single ponytail looked up at Hell. Her four radiant Void Wings behind her were dazzling as she exclaimed, "So, we are angels after all."

"You..."

"Your Void Wings are broken, although I don’t know what happened, I also know you’re doomed." Sonia tilted her head: "You won’t let me regret this for the rest of my life, would you?"

"I will join too!"

Diya ran over, her calves trembling: "Since Sword Maiden is going, I want to go to Hell with Ash too! Hell’s nothing, even Liss isn’t afraid, so naturally, I won’t be either!"

"Do you think this is some honeymoon travel?" Ash laughed despite himself.

"Isn’t it, as long as I’m with you?" Diya retorted.

"Then I’d better help too." Weiser approached them with a Silver Lamp, smiling: "I hope Void Realm considers me a Divine Being, not increasing your ascension difficulty."

Vishi initially froze seeing Ash’s broken wings, but seeing the Sword Maiden and others one after another rushing into the Hell Trial, her expression turned dazed as if witnessing La La Fei becoming Supreme of Magic.

"...Do you guys even know what you’re doing!?"

Vishi’s voice cracked as she almost went crazy: "You’re all participating in the Hell Trial, do you realize how dramatically the difficulty will increase!?"

"I only know if we don’t help, Ash will die." Sonia said calmly.

Vishi said, "Yes, but he’d be the only one dead, can’t you all ascend as demigods and then go to Hell to save him!?"

The group blinked, as if this was indeed possible, but quickly Diya shook her head: "We can’t just watch Ash die right in front of us."

"Then why don’t you all exit the Void Realm, don’t look, isn’t that enough..."

Weiser suddenly asked, "Are there too many of us? How many people does Ash need to help him?"

"No, Ash broke four Void Wings, so not only did your numbers not increase, but even..." Vishi shook her head, suddenly realizing something, and gazed at Ash.

But Ash didn’t look at her, instead, he looked up at the boiling fissure of hell, as calm as if he were merely an observer.

"Ash."

Vishi asked, "Don’t you have something to say to me?"

"Say what?"

"I’m waiting for your command." Vishi asked, "Aren’t you the one who will drag me to hell even if you die?"

Ash finally turned his head to glance at her and sighed helplessly:

"Help me, Vishi."

This wasn’t a command, it was a plea.

Vishi covered her face, took a deep breath, stomped her foot in frustration, and reluctantly walked to Ash’s side.

"One of my underlying commands is still to protect you." Ghost Prophet pouted, "As long as I sense you’re in danger, I must help you, whether you command me or not!"

"Thank you."

At this point, Ash could only accept the fact. Not only do they have to head to hell together, but they also have to undertake an unprecedented challenge of multiple ascent, and as the strongest, Ash was down to his last tail feather.

The situation is really bad, he thought.

However, Ash didn’t feel much fear, as if just standing with them meant being in an enchanting paradise.

They stood atop Ruby Mountain, destined to become angels burdened with hell.

"I’ve never heard of multiple ascent," Vishi said, a bit nervous. "But theoretically, it descends through five levels of hell gradually. We endure the first level together, then leave one person behind, and the remaining four endure the second level, leaving one again, and so on—"

Vishi stopped halfway.

Because they no longer needed to consider the order of burdening hell.

Suddenly, boiling darkness split into five parts, each larger and heavier than before. Countless roars emerged from them, and the hell demigods realized that there were arrogant mages challenging the unprecedented multiple ascent. After the birth of Supreme of Magic, they were about to welcome another festivity!

"...The Void Realm really won’t let us exploit a loophole," Vishi’s voice was as bitter as a maid witnessing her master in trouble.

Hell was divided into five parts, simultaneously testing the five individuals, not only greatly increasing the difficulty for everyone but more importantly, they couldn’t help each other this way.

They simply couldn’t bear hell for Ash.

Damn it, they’re still going to die.

The four Divine Lords of the Heavenly Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention Ghost Prophet, even they hadn’t seen such foolish recklessness in a multiple ascent.

"At least," Sonia tightened her grip on Ash’s hand, "we’re together until the last moment."

Ash dumbly looked at the girl in front of him, raising his hand and putting it down, but finally, he raised it again to caress the girl’s pretty face. Sonia’s face turned red to the ears, and both of them were so shy as if they met for the first time.

"...Death Mad, what are you doing!?"

"Maybe there’s another way—"

"You’re going to ruin all our efforts! You’re crazy, crazy!"

"Those meant to survive will surely live."

Ash shook his head, suspiciously looking at the others, but at this moment everyone was gazing at hell. Vishi looked despairing, Weiser seemed relieved, while Diya was no longer afraid.

But he seemed to have just heard them talking.

It must have been an auditory hallucination caused by fear...

But when Ash looked at Sonia again, he saw her lightly fluttering Void Wings emitting a strange misty light, infusing into Ash’s soul along with her gaze. At the same time, his Supreme Void Wings also radiated a strange brilliance, transforming to align with the flow into Sonia’s soul.

"Ash," Vishi was the first to notice something was off, "your Void Wings..."

Under the gaze of everyone, where Ash should have grown Silver Wings, purple-red sword-colored Void Wings slowly condensed!

"Detected operators jointly undertaking an extremely difficult task, consuming 40 Source Crystals to temporarily increase Bonds Level to adjust the difficulty."

"Note: ’Death Spree Sword Maiden’s’ Bonds Level temporarily increased to Level 5."

"Note: ’Death Spree Sword Maiden’s’ Bonds Level temporarily increased to Level 6."

"Bonds Level: 6 (100% Experience Sharing)"

"Level 5 Special Effect: Void Wings Sharing. Your Void Wings penetrate and share with each other, you will become their wings, they will become your wings."

"Level 6 Special Effect: Death Mad. In every dangerous situation, your Magic Realm will temporarily increase, with no upper limit."
