Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1008 - 1010: The Iceberg Rises

Bai Jin was blasted with such speed that there was no resistance, and he was bound to fall off the dueling stage.

He slammed the Magic Wand Sigh Seed onto the ground, leaving a long brown trail; Bai Jin treated the Magic Wand Sigh Seed as a physical brake.

Concentrating, wind attribute magic was released from beneath his feet, creating a counterforce. Bai Jin struggled to adjust his body's balance and finally stopped at a place only two or three meters from the edge of the stage.

At this moment, if he fell outside the venue, Bai Jin wouldn't be able to stay in mid-air using Flying Magic and return to the stage.

The Dragon God Conference imposes restrictions on flight.

Generally speaking, competitors cannot use Flying Magic within the first five minutes after the match begins. Races that inherently have flying abilities cannot fly for the first minute after the match starts.

The Dragon God Conference also imposes limits on the maximum flying distance and hovering time, regardless of the situation: at most seven meters from the ground, and up to five minutes in the air.

After five minutes, competitors must stay on the stage for enough time to fly again.

This rule has caused dissatisfaction among many aerial combat races.

"I grew wings with my own skills, why can't I fly? Others have all sorts of bizarre abilities; why should I become a walking chicken?"

The Dragon God Conference Committee shrugged, saying, "If you don't become walking chickens, shall we watch you treat your opponents as live targets and torture them wantonly?"

There was once an edition of the Dragon God Conference that relaxed restrictions, no longer limiting flight.

This indirectly led to group chaos in that edition of the Dragon God Conference.

The first round elimination rate for professions incapable of aerial combat was as high as 80%, including one then favored champion.

It was rather tragic; that muscle-bound favored champion was shot dead with arrows by a weak-attacked Jaluo Clan member for five days and nights at an altitude of 200 meters.

When facing opponents lacking in long-range attacks, flight is simply a bug skill.

Thus, current flight restrictions were created.

Why is regulation more stringent for Flying Magic than for flying races?

That's because, although Dancing in the Air starts slowly, high-level mages facing melee professions can, once activating Dancing in the Air by any means, fly high to gain near-invincible output time and establish a victory with strong magic.

The rules around flight were established by giant dragons after conducting repeated battle experiments with equally matched groups.

It is now beyond questioning by anyone.

Bai Jin sustained a Magic Shield for a long time; the five-minute flight restriction is about to be lifted.

Once he can use Dancing in the Air to fly up, Bai Jin will gain a huge amount of safe attack time.

There are numerous obstacles to flying up, with Aslit heading the list; she won't just let Bai Jin fly up.

Pulling her leg out of the marsh, Aslit fiercely pursued Bai Jin.

Standing still, Bai Jin took a deep breath, chanting an extremely complex spell. Several pure white magic arrays generated at the Magic Wand Sigh Seed's tip, extending across the ground.

Hard ice rapidly extended outward from the tip of Bai Jin's magic wand, spreading to Aslit's feet in a blink, as if cementing her feet on the ice.

Aslit ignored the spreading ice surface, as the black currents on her would "rescue" her from the icy shackles.

This gave Aslit immense confidence.

However, the effects of Bai Jin Magic went beyond this, as large patches of smooth ice rock quickly grew from the ice, blocking Aslit's attack path.

Trying to use an ice wall to block me? How naive! Aslit lightly flicked her long sword, letting black currents coil around it as she targeted a completed ice rock.

"Wind-breaking Flow. Gales Breakthrough."

Raising the long sword to be parallel with her shoulder, Aslit turned into a bullet striking the ice rock.

Wind-breaking Flow. Gales Breakthrough can stir a hurricane around the user, enveloping them and converting them into a drill bit, any hard substance faced with this drill bit will be pierced through.

Aslit intends to use this skill to drill through the ice rock!

However, Aslit's current Wind-breaking Flow. Gales Breakthrough only slammed onto the ice as a hammer, failing to bore a hole into the lofty ice rock.

Lacking necessary wind attribute magic, Wind-breaking Flow. Gales Breakthrough couldn't exhibit its intended effects.

Pulling out the long sword wedged in the ice rock, gazing at the cracked ice rock, Aslit felt slightly puzzled, as the black power seemingly swallowed all her released wind attribute magic when simultaneously using it with her skills.

She passed the Awakening Ceremony purely on her efforts.

Upon completing the awakening, Aslit knew what she attained yet had hardly used it extensively, her uses were purely for testing as she'd no clue that this power would conflict with her skills and cause subtle changes.

Disregarding testing other skills, Aslit dispels the black currents under her feet, activating Climbing, scaling the broken ice surface to climb the towering ice rock.

No sooner had she climbed the ice rock than a few swift, dazzling lightning attacks arrived consecutively.

Aslit instantly leaped off the ice rock, evading the incoming lightning magic.

She watched Bai Jin's every move, seeing Bai Jin continuously firing dazzling lightning magic, fighting while retreating, already retreated to the stage's edge with nowhere to go.

Will gaining a few more seconds change the outcome? As her feet hit the ground, Aslit slid across the ice, initiating a thrust.

In the blink of an eye, Aslit arrived before Bai Jin, black patterns emerged on the sword explosively as Breath of Destruction occurred.

"Black Break."

Seeing Aslit's attack drawing nearer, a thin shield extended from Bai Jin, easily shattered by Aslit's long sword.

Aslit's long sword advanced towards Bai Jin's figure again, another shield extended from Bai Jin's body, blocking this attack.

The first shield Bai Jin released came from her equipment's effect, while the second shield was her actual shield.

The first shield helped Bai Jin evade Aslit's skill Black Break, the second shield firmly withstood Aslit's subsequent attack, allowing Bai Jin to stand steadily and counterattack.

Bai Jin raised the magic wand aimed at Aslit's chest, ice crystals sparkled as several small arrays intertwined together, suddenly forming a magic beam striking at Aslit's heart.

Aslit evaded deftly, turning her body around and slashing three times, Bai Jin's shield shook and wobbled immediately.
