Everyone watched as Nick changed a little, but not too much. But in Lin Yuan's eyes, he looked exactly like the stone statue in the Sage Trial!
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "This guy... Could he have come back to life in another body?"
Just then, a deep and calm voice directly entered Lin Yuan's mind.
"Master Lin, or should I say, the outsider."
A hint of change crossed Lin Yuan's face, and he silently clenched his staff. In this world, knowing his identity meant you were far from average.
"I'm Nick, but I now have memories from the future. At the same time, I'm also the sage who gave Deshanluo the trial before."
Lin Yuan was slightly shocked. There was a lot of information in those words. He squinted his eyes and replied in a deep voice, "So, are you Nick now, or... that sage?"
Nick's voice continued to echo, "I'm both."
"That's even weirder than possession," Lin Yuan muttered, twitching his mouth.
"I'll clear things up once we handle this mess."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he called out to Jiuchong in his mind, "What do you think?"
After pondering for a moment, Jiuchong Ring slowly said, "Besides Shirori, he also knows that you're not from this world."
Lin Yuan was taken aback and frowned, saying, "Obviously... So, was he originally a time traveler? Or a reborn person?"
Jiuchong Ring replied flatly, "Maybe. I don't know for sure." Lin Yuan knitted his brows, and a flood of new questions welled up in his head.
"Hehe..." Gudora slowly raised her hand, black energy swirling around her fingertips. With an evil smile and a low voice, she said, "Good, good... This is finally getting interesting."
Nick's body slowly rose into the air, and black runes appeared around him. With just a slight raise of his hand, the sky suddenly changed!
Boom!
Black lightning thrashed in the sky like dragons, and the wind howled. The entire battlefield was enveloped in an indescribable sense of oppression.
Gudora sneered and teleported right in front of Nick, then swung her palm down.
Bang!
The air exploded, and cracks in space appeared!
Nick just raised his hand and gently pinched with two fingers, firmly blocking Gudora's magical palm strike!
"What?!"
Surprise flashed in Gudora's eyes. But in the next second, without hesitation, she swept out a kick. Black flames erupted beneath her feet. With a fearsome burst of power, she lashed out at Nick's waist.
Bang!
However, Nick's figure strangely blurred in the air for a moment, and he directly dodged the attack!
He was so fast that it seemed as if he had already seen through his opponent's next move!
Lin Yuan and the headmaster of the White Tower took action at the same time, trying to suppress Gudora. But they soon realized that this battle had far exceeded the normal level of a Grand Mage!
Deshanluo, Laya, and the others didn't even have a chance to intervene!
Deshanluo waved her magic sword, trying to find an opportunity to attack, but she soon found that she couldn't get anywhere near the core of the battle!
Laya tried to create a divine shield. But the moment she started gathering her magic, the battle's shockwaves broke it apart.
In the entire battlefield, only Nick, Gudora, Lin Yuan, and the headmaster of the White Tower could hold their ground in the center of the storm!
With every strike, the space trembled!
With every collision of magic, energy fluctuations swept across a thousand meters!
The mages of the Black Tower and the White Tower all retreated to the edge of the battlefield to avoid being affected.
Nick's black runes kept swirling. He pushed his palm out, and instantly, a colossal magic circle bloomed in the sky!
"Return to nothingness!"
Boom!!
Gudora was hit by this absolute dark magic power and her body trembled violently. She let out a shrill roar and desperately released dark magic to resist!
"Don't think... you can win!!"
Gudora's body began to distort. She gulped down dark energy from the battlefield. Her body swelled up, looking scarier by the second.
Lin Yuan frowned. "Is she gonna blow herself up?" he mumbled.
Lin Yuan suddenly gathered his forbidden magic. He raised his hand, and a bloody magic circle spread in his palm!
"Heavenly Blood Contract, the Lock of Aging!"
A bloody chain emerged from the void and instantly wrapped around Gudora's body, completely binding her! It also stopped her body from swelling further, and there was a faint sign of aging.
"You guys!!" Gudora roared, but just then...
A phantom appeared on Nick's body!
The old man, swathed in a black robe, held a time-worn black magic tome. His ghostly form pulsed with an enigmatic allure.
"It's time to end this."
The old man in the black robe suddenly rushed towards Gudora and placed his hand on her head.
Boom!!!
Gudora let out a blood-curdling scream. Her black magic power was being frantically absorbed, and her body began to collapse rapidly!
The black energy dissipated in her body, and fear filled her eyes. "No! It's impossible! I'm the... I'm the real Dark Mage... No...!"
In an instant, her body shrank, losing its shape. Soon, she became a few old papers floating in the air.
Then...
Boom!
The papers burned and turned to ashes, disappearing completely.
Nick's body swayed, and he slowly fell from the air.
The headmaster of the White Tower reacted quickly and flashed to catch him, preventing him from falling directly to the ground.
Lin Yuan remained at their side, his gaze fixed warily on the area where Gudora had vanished, prepared for any unexpected twists.
However...
Everything fell silent.
It was finally over.
Lin Yuan sighed in relief. "Hey, Jiuchong, where's the victory chime?"
====================
在所有人的目光中,尼克的模样虽然略有不同,但变化不算夸张.可在林远的眼里,他的形象却与贤者试炼的石像一模一样!
林远眉头一挑,忍不住低声吐槽:"这家伙...该不会是借尸还魂了吧?"
就在这时,一个低沉而平静的声音直接传入林远的脑海.
"林大法师,或者说,外来者."
林远神色微微一变,悄然握紧了法杖.这个世界,知道他身份的人绝不简单.
"我是尼克,只是多了未来的记忆.同时,我也是之前给德珊萝试炼的贤者."
林远心头微震,这句话的信息量有点大.他眯起眼睛,沉声回应:"所以,你现在到底是尼克,还是... 那个贤者?"
尼克的声音继续回响:"两者皆是."
"...好吧,这听起来比借尸还魂还诡异." 林远嘴角抽搐.
"等解决了眼前的事情,我会向大家交代一切."
林远深吸一口气,没有再多问,反而在脑海中呼唤九重:"你怎么看?"
九重戒沉吟片刻,缓缓道:"除了士嫆莉,他也知道你不是这个世界的人."
林远一愣,皱眉道:"废话... 所以,他原本也是穿越者?重生者?"
九重戒淡淡道:"或许,可能吧,不清楚."
林远眉头微蹙,心中更多的疑问浮现.
"嘿嘿嘿..." 古朵拉缓缓抬起手,指尖黑气缭绕,笑容邪魅,声音低沉: "不错,不错... 终于有点意思了."
尼克的身体缓缓升空,黑色符文在他周身浮现,他只是微微一抬手,天空骤然变色!
轰!
黑色的雷电如同游龙在天际翻腾,狂风怒吼,整个战场被一种无法言喻的压迫感笼罩.
古朵拉冷笑,身形一闪,直接出现在尼克面前,一掌拍下!
嘭!
空气震爆,空间裂缝浮现!
尼克只是单手抬起,两指轻轻一夹,就稳稳挡住了古朵拉的魔法掌击!
"什么?!"
古朵拉的眼中浮现惊讶,但下一秒,她毫不犹豫地横扫一脚,黑色烈焰在脚下炸裂,带着恐怖的力量横扫尼克的腰部.
轰!
然而,尼克的身影在空中诡异地模糊了一下,竟直接闪避开来!
快得像是,已看穿对手下一步的动作!
林远和白塔院长同时出手,试图压制古朵拉,但他们很快发现,这场战斗已经远远超出正常的大法师级别!
德珊萝,莱雅等人连插手的机会都没有!
德珊萝挥舞魔法剑,试图寻找战机,但她很快发现,她根本无法进入战斗核心!
莱雅试图释放神圣屏障,但她的魔力刚刚凝聚,就被战斗余波震碎!
整个战场,只剩下尼克,古朵拉,林远,白塔院长能够支撑在风暴中央!
每一击,空间震颤!
每一次魔法碰撞,能量波动横扫千米!
黑塔与白塔的法师们纷纷撤离战场边缘,避免被波及.
尼克的黑色符文不断流转,他一掌推出,空气中浮现出一个巨大的魔法阵!
"归于无!"
轰!!
古朵拉被这股绝对黑暗的魔法力冲击,身体剧烈颤抖,她发出尖锐的怒吼,拼命释放黑暗魔法抵挡!
"别以为...你能赢!!"
古朵拉的身体开始扭曲,她竟然强行吸收战场上的暗黑能量,整个身躯不断膨胀,变得更加恐怖.
林远皱起眉头,低声道:"...这家伙,该不会想自爆吧?"
林远猛然凝聚自己的禁忌魔法,他抬起手,血色的魔法阵在掌心中扩散!
"天血契约,衰老之锁!"
一道血色的锁链自虚空中浮现,瞬间缠绕古朵拉的身躯,将她彻底束缚!并阻止了她身体继续膨胀,而且隐隐约约有种老化的迹象.
"你们!!" 古朵拉怒吼,但就在此时...
尼克的身体,浮现出一个虚影!
一个身穿黑袍的老人,双手捧着一本古老的黑色魔法书,虚影的身躯散发着神秘的气息.
"该结束了."
黑袍老人猛然冲向古朵拉,伸手按在她的头颅上.
轰!!!
古朵拉发出凄厉的惨叫,她的黑色魔力被疯狂吸收,她的身躯开始迅速崩溃!
黑气在她的身体中溃散,她的双眼露出恐惧:"不!不可能!我才是... 我才是真正的黑魔...不...!"
下一秒,她的身体缓缓缩小,渐渐失去人形,最后,化作几张古老的纸张,漂浮在空气中.
然后...
轰!
纸张燃烧,化为灰烬,彻底消失.
尼克的身体摇晃了一下,缓缓从空中坠落.
白塔院长反应极快,一个闪身接住了他,让他没有直接摔落地面.
林远站在他们身旁,依旧警惕地盯着古朵拉消失的方向,防止任何异变.
然而...
一切都归于寂静.
终于结束了.
林远轻轻吐出一口气,心里暗道:"喂,九重,让人愉悦的提示音呢?"
