Bizarre Realm-Chapter 200 - 25: The Way of Slay Me! Legendary Domain! Time Spell! (3)
——"Knowledge Countermeasure [Law] (Extraordinary Domain): Activate the law of knowledge to counter the target using one’s mystical knowledge, forcibly interrupting the enemy’s casting ability and countering all spells of the target, affecting all knowledge-related concepts, not limited to spells, spell-like abilities, and talent abilities. The success rate is influenced by one’s mystical knowledge."
——"Knowledge Suppression [Law] (Extraordinary Domain): Activate the law of knowledge, completely suppress the mysterious knowledge in the opponent’s brain during close contact, effective on any being possessing mystical knowledge. Effects vary depending on the difference in mystical knowledge between both parties.
1. Complete suppression: The target enters a state of idiocy, and activated knowledge ceases to operate, with effects equivalent to a feeblemind spell, temporarily fixing the target’s intelligence to 1 point.
2. Partial suppression: The target’s activated knowledge is suppressed, casting ability weakened, and intelligence attribute significantly reduced by 6-8 points.
3. If the target’s mystical knowledge is far superior, oneself suffers knowledge backlash, taking mental damage equal to the opponent’s mystical knowledge."
[This ability is ineffective on Transcendents following the Barbarian Path. Their brains are dulled, unsuitable for the settlement of mystical knowledge. Illiterate Transcendents without mystical knowledge can also resist suppression from the Knowledge Domain.]
Legendary abilities?!
Shawn opened his eyes in shock; he truly acquired the reversed law of knowledge, an extraordinary domain only possible for the destined Legend to possess.
In the Bizarre Realm, spell countering is very difficult because everyone uses activated knowledge to assist in casting, so the success rate is very low, requiring a significant strength gap for success.
Transcendents of the same Tier countering each other’s spells have a success rate of less than thirty percent, so few people learn it due to ’automatic spellcasting’.
No wonder the Ancients could suppress Transcendents of the same path!
After acquiring a sliver of the law of knowledge, Shawn gained the ability to suppress other casters. Anything related to the concept of knowledge made him akin to a newly upgraded access dog.
"Does this mean the mystical knowledge in my brain has become a weapon of mine?"
"All these abilities don’t require casting; they all involve leveraging my brain’s mystical knowledge to suppress the opponent’s activated knowledge?"
Shawn felt a peculiar enlightenment at this moment.
The Extraordinary Essence within him began to rapidly digest, yet it did not enhance his extraordinary level. Instead, part of the knowledge from Su’en’s Brain was transformed, while a new class of spells was fully digested.
——Time Spell.
Within the Eye Demon Nest, Shawn slowly stood up. As he gently raised his hand, a series of complex magic arrays invisible to the naked eye appeared beneath his feet. It was a huge and obscure magic array resembling the outline of a clock, containing a stable triangular structure with peculiar silver-white rune engravings extending from three support points.
"Past, present, future."
"Three ancient runes representing time nodes."
Shawn took a step forward!
At this instant, he completed the casting, as if freezing the time lines around him. All things were in a relatively static state, unaffected except for himself.
——Time Acceleration! (Sixth Ring Spiritual Energy)
The surrounding time lines were actually normal since this wasn’t true time stop; Shawn had merely accelerated to an unimaginable degree at this moment, entering another time frame, making everything else appear relatively static.
Bang!
Shawn fired a shot, and the bullet, the moment it left the muzzle, remained in a static state, as if corrected by the time frame the moment it exited the gun barrel.
Only entities directly in contact with Shawn could transcend the existing time frame.
Bang!
Shawn fired again, with the second bullet touching the first; both collided, departing the law of time acceleration, and maintained a stationary tail chase in mid-air.
"No wonder attacks under time acceleration cannot take effect; they need to wait until the spell ends to function."
Bang!
Shawn moved position and fired a third shot, with all three bullets hovering in mid-air.
Tic.
After six seconds.
The time frame returned to normal, with the first two bullets colliding, while the third hit the wall the moment the spell dissipated.
"Looks like using the time concept of relativity to understand the power of this spell is necessary," Shawn muttered.
It’s a bit beyond the norm.
Supposedly.
It is only said.
In the Forgotten Realm, there was a time when time truly dominated the law of time, and this period was called ’Time of Troubles’. Because the Magic Goddess had fallen, time stop truly interfered with the existing time laws, wielding the power of the Sands of Time; slaughter Divine Sons could directly pause time around them, slaying their enemies so that when time resumed, their enemies had turned into minced meat.
It is said those terrifying Divine Sons, even when ascending as Wanderers, could set time traps to stop time.
This is unimaginable in other worlds; Wanderers casting time stop is too shocking.
However, later on, the law of time was once again constrained.
Because the Magic Goddess returned, during the state of time stop, casters were merely accelerating themselves; attacks launched had difficulty taking effect, as if time stop were restricted, only useful for casting Delayed Spells. Usually, when time stop truly interfered with current time laws, it was due to issues with the Magic Net or the fall of the Magic Goddess. Once the Magic Goddess returns, the power of time stop is immediately and significantly weakened.
The Bizarre Realm lacks a Magic Goddess, but the time laws here are quite chaotic.
The ’Time Acceleration’ cast with Sixth Ring Spiritual Energy reaches its limit; only the Mage Path’s Ninth Ring time stop might truly interfere with existing time laws.
However, true manipulation of the time law still requires a Legendary Spell, as Lady Hecate possesses a capability of summoning herself from the future timeline.
This Legendary Spell, known as ’Time Duplication Technique’, is the only one Lady Hecate knows, allowing her to summon her future self from six seconds ahead in the time stream to the present timeline, thereby facing the enemy with two versions of herself in peak condition.
It’s equivalent to duplicating oneself in time; with the future self six seconds ahead.
This Legendary Spellbook is on the top level of the Maze Library, which Shawn has long coveted, yet he hasn’t even had the qualification to touch, as in Spiritual Vision, this Legendary Spellbook is surrounded by a faint golden Sands of Time.
Even the Banshee Maidens cannot touch it as it’s uniquely sealed in a dimension space where anything that contacts it ages rapidly.
Lady Hecate has said only the destined Legend has the right to peruse it.
As for other time spells, Shawn knows of another called ’Time Reversal’, which can send himself, severely injured and on the brink of death, back to the state six seconds prior; this too is a Ninth Ring spiritual energy spell.
Strictly speaking, the sixth-ring Time Acceleration is only mid-level among time spells.
It is because of these time spells that the Distant Realm’s abnormities are incredibly powerful!
——"Then it’s time to prepare to slay the Legendary!"
