Mage Manual-Chapter 621 - 499 Lost

Holy Domain.

The limit of genius, the pinnacle of the secular world, and the ideal of countless Mages. In any kingdom, those who become Holy Sanctuary Mages are unquestionably the most successful class.

Interestingly, according to the Sword Maiden, the majority of One-winged Mages are production Mages, the majority of Two-winged Mages are Combat Mages, and Holy Sanctuary Mages again mostly focus on production. It’s not that the Holy Sanctuary Mages have abandoned combat, but their research has shifted to production, no longer delving into combat as before.

There are three reasons for this, with the primary one being the extremely cost-effective nature of production and creation by Holy Sanctuary Mages. Space artifacts can only be produced by Holy Sanctuary Mages, and since they are fundamentally durable consumables, this makes every Holy Sanctuary Mage a continuous gold mine. In the Kingdom of Stars, Holy Sanctuary Mages also have to pay the "Space Tax," producing a certain amount of space artifacts annually as their tax.

Second, producing space artifacts is extremely helpful in researching the Space Faction. Compared with other cultivation methods, making space artifacts is certainly an effective practice with above-average efficiency.

The last reason is the clear awareness among Holy Sanctuary Mages that the best way to increase and even transform their Combat Power is not through studying combat but rather... freewёbnoνel-com

Mastering space.

Clang!

A point of cold light arrived first, followed by the crashing down of a long spear!

Watching the Long Spear Sanctuary Mage who suddenly appeared from above, Ash, riding the Yayin motorbike, did not slow down at all, clashing head-on with him as they passed by each other!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

In an instant, Ash parried five strikes with his sword. Even though he had piled up a messy mix of Technique Spirits like "Heart Sword," "Earth Sword," "Sword Trace" onto the blade, sweet words and a hidden dagger still got dented in several places, and the intense impact even caused the Yayin motorbike to drift!

Currently in high-speed motion, most of Ash’s Miracles were difficult to utilize, with only spontaneous burst or continuous enhancement Miracles like "Angry Sword" and "Loving Sword" remaining effective. But being unable to use Miracles didn’t mean that Technique Spirits were useless. Driven by the iridescent Magic Power, Technique Spirits at least could strengthen his weapons to the extent that they could sever Holy Domain Miracles!

Yayin motorbike skidded out several heart-stopping donut patterns on the wet road, and Ash actually didn’t brake once, still streaking a bloody line under the night sky at top speed. The attacking Long Spear Sanctuary Mage quickly advanced from behind, keeping pace with the Yayin motorbike due to the aid of moving Miracles and the Path of the Chosen!

Suddenly, Ash called forth his Substitute, and both of them swung their long swords simultaneously. As numerous "ding ding" Gunshot sounds pierced through the Rain Curtain, their swords also deflected an equal number of sniper bullets.

If the Long Spear Sanctuary Mage advanced in front of Ash by leveraging the Space Faction, then the Gun Technique Sanctuary Mage directly sent gun bullets beside Ash—in normal situations, no one could predict the appearance of gun bullets. Sometimes, even if the Gun Technique Sanctuary Mage aimed at your face, the bullet would still penetrate the back of your neck. Unless the Mage deployed the Holy Domain or spent Gospel Points to pray for omnidirectional protection, it was simply impossible to block the shots of the Gun Technique Sanctuary Mage.

But now an exception had occurred.

At this moment, a Fist Claw Sanctuary Mage stopped chasing and stood still to throw a punch at the Yayin motorbike. The space where his fist struck collapsed and cracked inch by inch, like dominoes toppling rapidly as the attack targeted Ash’s back!

Suddenly, Ash made a sweeping cut backwards.

With the spatial nature of the Technique Spirit "Sword Trace," after being stimulated with iridescent Magic Power, it barely gave sweet words and a hidden dagger a hint of spatial enhancement, allowing it to slice through any object not protected by the Holy Domain and enabling Ash to cut at anything altering space.

However, this trace of spatial enhancement was too meager; if true spatial turbulence was encountered, it would likely be worn flat in an instant. Nevertheless, facing the spatial turbulence punch from the Fist Claw Sanctuary Mage, Ash cut down with a single stroke, completely halting the collapsing space effortlessly, neutralizing the Holy Sanctuary Mage’s fatal attack.

To the right, thirteen Gunshots.

To the left, a Water Magic explosion.

Behind, sniping.

Ahead, the Long Spear.

Facing a barrage of attacks from the Holy Sanctuary Mages akin to a violent storm, Ash was able to perfectly dissipate and block all of these assaults while maintaining his speed unchanged! Other than a few scrapes, he was nearly unharmed!

Even for the Holy Sanctuary Mages, their expressions couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise at this moment. To them, it was as if they were seeing a primary school student solve a high school mathematics paper with only basic arithmetic—the unpredictable Holy Domain attacks could only be resisted by the Holy Domain itself. He hadn’t even deployed his Holy Domain; how could he possibly defend against them!

Indeed, Ash couldn’t defend.

But Yayin could.

Yayin was now occupying half of his soul, and even without actively invoking it, Ash still could share in some of Yayin’s powers—with Yayin’s senses, everything in this world was transparent, including the past, present, and future.

It was a marvelous feeling: Fate, intangible before, now spread out before him like a scroll of paintings filled with questions. Ash had simply answered all those questions, and then he had dissolved the frenzied onslaught of more than two dozen Holy Sanctuary Mages.

Of course, there’s also an important reason why the Holy Sanctuary Mages didn’t want to kill him. Their purpose was to stop Ash’s advance and to kill Liss, so their attacks were targeted at Liss, the Yayin motorbike, and Ash’s limbs.

One side had "divine assistance" in the literal sense, while the other was intentionally holding back, which naturally wasn’t surprising for such a coordinated battle scenario to emerge. Moreover, Ash could feel all his Magic Faction experience soaring during the fight, especially the Space Faction, which was nearly touching the edge of the Holy Domain!

Indeed, since Yayin was All-Knowing and All-Powerful, he naturally also possessed the knowledge of all factions. Even just the leaking droplets from Yayin were like a rain of Experience Treasure Orbs for Ash!

In the past, Ash would undoubtedly have celebrated such an unexpected joy by eating a few heftier meals to grow a little plumper, and in the Void Realm, he would have rushed to show off to the Sword Maiden. But now, Ash felt no ripples in his heart, and even a slight desire to laugh.

The more he gained from Yayin, the more Yayin acquired from him.

The more he could manifest Yayin’s powers, the faster Yayin would replace him.

This kind of parting glory, it was indeed hard to indulge in.

But...

"Almost there," Ash cheerfully said amidst the symphony of swords and Miracles, "We’re about to escape Nabistin, the Sky Blue Highway is just ahead."

"We’ll make our escape, then hide here and there, scurrying from place to place. From now on, you’ll only have cardboard to pick up and we’ll sleep under bridges."

"Mhm."

A pair of small hands clung tightly to his waist, like ten spikes that wouldn’t let go.

At this moment, Ash felt as if he knew everything, yet he didn’t know that the little girl behind him was sinking deep into self-blame.

She blamed herself for accomplishing nothing, while Ash, completely oblivious, became the First Gospel.

She blamed herself for needing Ash’s protection when he was the one who needed it most.

She blamed herself for still being a burden up till now!

She was a Three-winged Mage herself, she had the combat power of the Holy Domain!

But because the trial of the Bronze Dragon was not yet over, she couldn’t revert to her original form, and her magic power in reality was completely sealed! Moreover, there was no way to end the trial of the Bronze Dragon prematurely. One either had to complete it or keep undergoing the trial until death!

How she wished... to weather the storms with Ash!

They were getting closer to the parking area. The Sky Blue Highway, shimmering through the night sky, was like streaks of dawn.

But before the dawn, there was the deepest night.

More than a dozen Holy Sanctuary Mages stood in their way, coldly waiting to welcome Yayin back to the palace.

"Liss’s" hands trembled, "Be careful!"

The curtain of night fell, and birds cried mournfully.

Ash created a substitute with sweet words and a hidden dagger, with dual swords in his hands, he etched pitch-black ink trails in the air that condensed the space, and the raven-black motorbike roared as it charged towards the enemy lines.

Then, a ferocious beast roared, splashing ink as it struck!

The Holy Domain could not be broken through, but it wasn’t said that it couldn’t be barged open!

Spotting the weakest part of their defense, Ash broke through the iron wall formed by the Holy Sanctuary Mages in one fell swoop!

At that moment, Ash was delighted to discover that the noise in his mind had suddenly decreased significantly, and Yayin’s erosion was rapidly receding—Divine Beings could not ignore distance and forcefully reside in his finely furnished small western-style house. As the distance between him and the Divine Being increased to a certain extent, even if he couldn’t completely get rid of it, he could at least buy some more time!

Yes, Technique Spirits had a range of influence, so how could Divine Beings not have one? Even if their range was vast, there was a limit after all!

Just now, I was intimidated by the Divine Being and almost gave up completely. Luckily, Liss urged me to run, otherwise I really would’ve been sitting ducks!

Ash took a deep breath. Now they were just one bridge away from the parking area and he said, "Liss, we’ve made it—"

A flicker of cold light arrived first.

When the Long Spear Sanctuary appeared above him, Ash’s body reacted, but his mind did not—Why didn’t I notice his ambush?

Because I had lost the power of Yayin.

Without the All-Knowing and All-Powerful Yayin, he couldn’t defend completely against the Holy Domain’s attacks.

In front, the Long Spear Sanctuary’s thrust.

To the right, the Fist Claw Sanctuary’s space shock wave.

To the left, the explosive of Water Magic.

The siege that he had just easily broken through now ensnared Ash. Like a wild beast exhausted from the chase stepping into a trap, he realized he could no longer escape as he did the last time.

Then,

Bang.

A perfectly timed sniper bullet, skillfully avoiding the precious beast that needed to be captured.

Only striking the smallest and weakest prey.

Ash turned his head and saw Liss leaving.
