Elite Mages’ Academy - Chapter 689 - : Negotiation

Xiao Lin’s palm was still open, and the energy in his palm still glowed. After entering Myth, the lower-leveled skills he had no longer meant much to him. Those attacks of pure energy were far simpler and more effective.

“Close the wormhole!” Xiao Lin coldly shouted.

Just like Asabanor said, Xiao Lin could definitely have killed off that despicable man easily, but his final goal had not been to kill Asabanor. Or rather, after entering Myth, he realized more of the truth, causing him to not be willing to casually make his attack.

Asabanor turned a deaf ear, and slowly gained his confidence. “It seems like you have noticed it as well. That’s right, the blood moon isn’t just here this time. It’s in your hometown as well. I heard that it is a rare sight that only happens once every few hundred years. Even with the power of your law, there’s no way to go against the laws of the universe!”

“You despicable bastard!” Xiao Lin clenched his teeth. Of course, he was not just targeting Asabanor, but also his new dean. Earth’s astronomical phenomena was definitely something that the old man had revealed to Asabanor.

That was why Xiao Lin was stuck in a difficult spot. Even if he killed Asaabnor, he had no way of stopping the wormhole from opening because the reverse God Sealing Array had already absorbed quite a bit of energy. The wormhole had actually already opened from the blood moon’s end. If he was not wrong, then there would probably already be supernatural phenomena happening on Earth.

So what if he killed Asabanor?

Then, the wormhole would forever be formed. Even if Asabanor and his undead army would not advance toward Earth, there were too many countries or races that hated the colonists from Earth. When the time came, they would be warding off thousands of enemies. It would not be something they could defend against.

“Close the wormhole! I can forget killing you! Otherwise, you can take that dream of reviving your kingdom to hell with you!” That was the only condition Xiao Lin could give, but he actually did not hold out much hope for it because his opponent was a complete lunatic that never played by the usual rules.

“What if I disagree? Hell? Ah, I was in the Final Lands for so long. Do you think that wasn’t hell?” Asabanor shouted. That man really was insane.

Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes. He could feel Asabanor’s lack of restraint because he really did not have much time left. Even with the absorbed law, Myth’s duration was still limited. He knew that, and Asabanor definitely knew it. That man was just trying to use Xiao Lin’s doubt and hesitation to stall for time.

Xiao Lin’s expression turned cold, and the power in his hand suddenly increased by several times, becoming incredibly bright, like a burning star. He coldly snorted, “Oh? It seems you’re quite happy with dying. If that’s the case, then there’s nothing else to say to you. You should go ahead and die.”

That sudden movement scared Asabanor, and he unconsciously retreated even more. However, Asabanor knew that there was no meaning to that distance, as he could clearly feel Xiao Lin’s unbridled killing intent, so he quickly said, “What are you doing? Don’t you want to close the wormhole anymore?”

“I naturally have my ways of closing it,” Xiao Lin slowly said. His face was unusually calm, not revealing what he was thinking.

“What is your way?” Asabanor asked.

“It has nothing to do with you!” Xiao Lin laughed coldy. After that, the power in his hand shot out, and crackled like electricity, giving Asabanor no time to react.

“Wait! Wait! We can talk about it!” Asabanor suddenly shouted out. He did not try avoiding it, and knew very well that it was not possible.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Lin’s palm closed, and the energy ball suddenly exploded right in front of Asabanor. The bright light and the waves of energy dispersed. Even if Asabanor had a shield that distorted space, even if Xiao Lin managed to hold back at the last moment, that level of power still ended up colliding with Asabanor.

The waves of energy slowly dissipated, and only half of Asabanor’s body was left. He clenched his teeth as he stared at Xiao Lin. “You were actually serious! Do you really not care about your home world anymore?!” If Xiao Lin had just been half a second later, Asabanor would no longer have existed. The confident Asabanor had finally experienced the threat of death, and finally lost his composure. He might not be afraid of death, but his ambition of reviving his country still caused him to be wary.

Xiao Lin’s expression did not change. “Stop pretending. This level of injury won’t do anything to you! It seems like you still haven’t grasped the situation. Your analysis was right, but do you actually think I won’t kill you?”

Xiao Lin smiled nonchalantly, continuing, “You’re right, I am almost dead. The power in my body is only temporary. Once the time ends, my body won’t be able to withstand this power. So, what would Earth have to do with me after that? I only need to drag you to hell with me!”

“You!”

Asabanor was furious, but he no longer dared to make any casual moves. Xiao Lin now had an attitude of not caring of what would happen if he died.

“What do you want to discuss? I’ll give you ten seconds. Otherwise, you can just die. You no longer have any chances.” Xiao Lin saw that Asabanor was not speaking, and let out an impatient expression.

Asabanor’s face was uncertain, and he suddenly let out a sly smile. “In truth, I have no way to completely seal the wormhole. Of course, I’m not lying to you, as these are the rules of the universe in the end. I’m merely taking advantage of the situation, but can’t control it. I can’t do it, but you can, and you just need me to provide you with the method.” After that, he paused, deliberately trying to stall.

“Speak up, faster!” Xiao Lin started to condense another ball of energy.

“To close the wormhole, you’ll need to enter the wormhole yourself, and use your flesh and blood as the seal. That way, the power in your body can change the power of the universe. Only, do you dare do so? Do you know what entering the passage of time and space would mean?” Asabanor asked, pleased.

Xiao Lin thought for less than a second before coldly smiling and saying, “Why wouldn’t I dare? My condition is simple. I need you to go with me, or else I would rather just kill you here! You, do you dare?”

Xiao Lin kicked the ball back into Asabanor’s court.
