The glow of over a hundred different distinct spells almost blinded the Great Bear Druid.

Negary had studied over 100,000 different books’ worth of spells and magic, from the magical foundations of which he had created even more original spells. Just the number of spells alone had surpassed 10,000, and this was already the result of Negary simplifying all the spells with different names of similar, or exactly the same, principles.

By utilizing different mana attributes, different spell construction methods, different ritualistic casting requirements, and the different Evil Gods that the spells came from, the number of derivative spells before simplification was astronomical.

Standing behind Guangnai, the two mages felt like they were witnessing a God at work, never mind the immense amount of mana required, just the act of overlapping over a hundred different spells on the same target in a single instant had already shown the despairing difference between them.

Overlapping spells on a single target wasn’t simply done by how many spells you could actually cast. Each spell had its own magic structure, so before casting two spells on the same target, one must consider whether or not the structures would influence one another, both beneficial and not. And the more spells one tried to overlap, the more complicated this influence would become.

At these two mages’ own calibers, by coordinating with a magical ritual and a month of meticulous preparations, the most they would be able to achieve was overlapping 10 spells on one object, and the success rate would have to depend on the suitability of the object’s material.

If the sheer number difference had caused these two mages to feel despair, then the glow of the Great Magics towards the end only roused the thought of suicide in their minds.

Great Magics were spells that communed with Evil Gods, directly borrowing the power of those Evil Gods. There were quite a few Great Magics, but those who wielded them were few and far in between. If not for any other reason, directly borrowing power from an Evil God was basically playing with fire; in light cases, the caster would be taken over as a clone or puppet, while in extreme cases, they would be sacrificed and turned into a monster.

A total of 8 Great Magic had been cast, meaning that at least 8 different Evil Gods were currently gazing upon Guangnai. If the mages used even a single Great Magic, their heads would have already been filled with whispers of an Evil God, but quite obviously, Guangnai was immune to this state.

In fact, if any Evil God dared to whisper a single word, the original Negary would have dared to seek them out to talk about life and ideals.

The glow around Guangnai’s body quickly flickered and subsided. Observing the charging Great Bear, his feet stomped on the ground and vanished from the mages’ eyes; when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the Great Bear.

Another wave of glows appeared around his body as another spell he had prepared, [Gigantism], had activated. Guangnai’s body instantly grew larger as his fist connected with the Great Bear’s head.

[Mana Penetration], [Structural Destruction], [Force Transference], [Immunity Dispel], [Kinetic Resistance], [Parasitism], [Impure Cultivation], [Gradual Life Force Invasion], [Mana Jamming], [Regeneration Disruption], [Pain], [Bemused], [Weaken]… and various other spells and curses were infused into and transferred to the Great Bear Druid’s body through Guangnai’s hand.

This time, the Great Bear Druid’s mana armor immediately broke apart, countless spells rapidly poured into the Great Bear’s body and affected him through their own magic structures.

Even if the Great Bear form had natural magic resistance, he couldn’t help himself freezing up when faced with this level of a magic attack. His vitality mana was unable to flow throughout his body due to the interference of so many spells, thus turning the Great Bear into a piece of meat on the chopping block.

The saying ‘pure strength can suppress anything’, as Negary saw it, was incorrect. With similar levels of strength, the one with more skill would be able to exert it better; the so-called ideal of ‘pure strength can suppress anything’ was merely utilizing strength stupidly, as Negary could easily use 1 point of strength to achieve something they needed 100 points of strength to do.

It must be said, even if Guangnai was strictly a normal human, he would still be able to fight against the Great Bear Druid if given enough time to prepare. Although he might not necessarily be able to kill him, stalling or even trapping him somewhere wouldn’t be an issue at all.

This was due to the fact that all of the Great Bear Druid’s abilities came from his prayers. Even if he had continuously trained himself to get used to this power, the only supernatural knowledge he had was most likely his prayers and some knowledge of life structures. If he lost Life Bearer’s favor, the most he would be able to achieve would be to grow a bit physically stronger; as for once again treading on the supernatural path, that would depend largely on his luck.

…

‘Negary’s’ eyes flickered.

〖 The Great Bear isn’t necessarily weak, so it’s ‘me’ who is too strong, huh? 〗

Over a dozen veins pierced into the Great Bear’s body as one of his paws came into contact with ‘Negary’s’ left hand. The Vitality Siphon formation on top of his left hand glowed, accurately absorbing the various spells that were implanted into the Great Bear’s body, turning them all into vitality mana before leaving them inside the Great Bear’s body.

A second later, Guangnai’s feet stepped on air as his other leg kicked upwards. With a gleam of light, Guangnai landed back on the ground, the bone blade that protruded out of his heel slowly sank back inside as his gigantified body shrank.

Some blood popped out of the Great Bear’s head; it was only now that he realized what had happened: his body had been sliced in half. Clearly, they were supposed to be the same level of strength, but he felt like he had been completely crushed.

The veins continued to regenerate the Great Bear Druid’s body from the inside, more vitality mana began to seep out of the Great Bear’s body. As soon as the mana appeared, he was already fully healed.

〖 It seems I’ll have to fight you myself 〗’Negary’ glanced at the Great Bear who barely managed to keep his life. He pressed his right hand on the ground, causing the veins around them to gather towards him: 〖 Just in time for me to complete the incubation of the second Divine Embryo 〗

Under the effects of the veins, the pulpy flesh of those earlier monsters also gathered around ‘Negary’, rapidly forming a layer of flesh armor outside ‘Negary’s’ body. A thick layer of vitality mana rapidly modified and turned it into a cocoon armor.

‘Negary’s’ first Divine Embryo had once again entered an incubation period, by the time the first Divine Embryo completely fused with the cocoon armor, the second Divine Embryo would be born.

Immense vitality mana was clad around this layer of cocoon armor, which appeared like a beating flame. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of veins reached towards Guangnai like spears. Under the stimulation of vitality mana, these veins were rapidly growing; at the same time, a Vitality Siphon formation had been engraved onto each of these veins, so if anyone was pierced by these veins, the vitality that made up their life structures would be instantly drained.

Being forged by vitality mana, the fleshy buds at the back of the cocoon armor turned into sharp spikes, each of which contained a large number of formation runes. Each of these spikes acted as an altar, which were also engraved with Vitality Siphon formations; by coordinating dozens of spikes, they had been turned into a Vitality Siphon domain.

From this point onward, anything that approached ‘Negary’ would be decomposed by these formations into vitality mana.

Guangnai twisted his body to dodge ‘Negary’s’ attacks, a series of bone blades appeared on his arms to cut off these veins.

However, at the very next moment, ‘Negary’s’ form disappeared in the distance. A large amount of vitality mana abruptly manifested at the cut-off end of the veins to reform ‘Negary’s’ body, who grabbed Guangnai’s bone blade with his bare hands.
