"Boom!"
After an incomparably dazzling white light exploded, a mushroom cloud rose high in the distance. Even though they were ten kilometers away from the explosion site, Xu Yi and everyone around him could clearly feel the ground shaking.
A moment later, a huge explosion could be heard in the air.
Even though they were ten kilometers away, the sound was still deafening.
After waiting for a moment, Xu Yi took off the dark anti-dazzling glass lens hanging on his nose and said to Akali, "Expand the range of the chaotic magic barrier and scan the location of the explosion for life aura and mana fluctuations. Determine if Levin Hassok is dead."
The group looked at the mushroom cloud slowly rising in the distance with sluggish expressions. After Xu Yi reminded her a second time, Akali finally understood and turned to look at Xu Yi in a daze.
"Sir … Sir Chairman, you … You said that Magus, he … he's dead?"
Hearing this question, everyone turned to look at Xu Yi at the same time, similarly sluggish and at a loss.
Seeing their reactions, Xu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Were these guys still unwilling to believe that a Magus had died?
But it made sense when he thought about it. Magi had always been the most powerful figures in the Sines. In the minds of most people, they wouldn't die for any reason other than natural death.
"You'll know once you scan for life aura and mana fluctuations," Xu Yi said unhappily.
"Ah?
Oh … "
Even the usually lively Akali was still somewhat sluggish at this time.
After hearing Xu Yi's command, she woodenly turned to the control panel in front of her and pressed two buttons.
There was a Magic Illusion Projection that lit up on the control panel. It showed the area that they had been monitoring the entire time, the area where Xu Yi had led Raven Hassok to a duel.
Everyone immediately gathered around and stared at the magic illusion projection with extremely nervous expressions.
Two ripples, one in front and one behind, slowly moved from left to right. This meant that the life aura and mana fluctuation detection arrays that New Flyer had set up in this area were still working.
Everyone stared at these two ripples, their gazes following them as they moved from the leftmost to the rightmost part of the illusion.
The first ripple, representing life aura, swept across the illusion and didn't leave any light spots that represented life aura.
The second wave, which represented the detection of magic waves, swept across the illusion, leaving behind a large mass of messy lines of light, but not a single conspicuous spot of light.
From the results of these two scans, it could be determined that there was no living person in that area.
Of course, it was obvious that no one could have survived such a terrifying explosion.
However, everyone was still unwilling to believe it and urged Akali to scan two more times, but the results were still the same.
Akali raised her head once more and looked at Xu Yi with an expression of disbelief.
"Sir Chairman … Could it be … Could it be … Could it be that the archmage, he … he really died?"
"What?
Do you feel that the death of an Arch Magus is hard to accept? "Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Everyone nodded in unison.
"There's nothing unacceptable about this." Xu Yi shrugged with a relaxed expression.
"Archmages are still humans in the end, not gods.
When they receive an attack that exceeds what they can withstand, they will still die. This isn't strange. "
"But …" Akali couldn't help but swallow her saliva, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Although she had participated in the entire plan against the archmage and had been in control of the entire operation just now, even pressing the attack button on Levin Hassok herself, she still couldn't accept that the other party had actually died.
This was an archmage!
God above, what kind of person was an archmage?
They were the people who stood at the peak of all mages!
The people closest to gods!
Although it wasn't that there hadn't been cases of archmages dying in Sines, the most recent accidental death of an archmage had happened more than a thousand years ago!
Along with the disappearance of the grand magi on this continent, the magi had already become the high and mighty figures on this continent. Not to mention their accidental fall, there was simply no one outside of the magi who would have any thoughts of enmity towards them, alright!
However, this time, apart from Xu Yi, there wasn't a single grand magus in their group. Even Xu Yi hadn't really made a move, but he had successfully killed an archmage?
This was simply too inconceivable!
Seeing the expressions of disbelief on everyone's faces, Xu Yi shook his head helplessly.
After all, he had transmigrated from Earth. He wasn't like the natives of Sines who thought that archmages were high and mighty figures that couldn't be offended.
Although the power of that last attack was indeed terrifying, in Xu Yi's opinion, it was still worlds apart from the ultimate weapons on Earth — the power of a nuclear bomb.
As the strongest archmage, Levin Hassok couldn't even withstand such an attack, which made Xu Yi feel somewhat disappointed.
Of course, this result had already been confirmed in countless previous experiments, so it wasn't unexpected.
Akali and the others had actually been participating in the experiments that Mentor Carmilla had personally participated in. The reason why they hadn't accepted this fact was that this matter was too challenging their traditional views.
Looking back at the mushroom cloud that was gradually dissipating in the distance, Xu Yi revealed a trace of a smile.
Successfully killing the archmage Levin Hassok this time wasn't as simple as preventing a disaster from befalling the New Flight Commerce Main Base. More importantly, it was the significance of this matter.
For everyone in Sines, archmages represented a high and mighty existence that couldn't be defeated. Once a country had an archmage, it was equivalent to having a nuclear weapon on Earth as a deterrent to other countries.
But now, Xu Yi had used facts to shatter this myth, telling everyone that archmages weren't that scary. This was equivalent to completely subverting everyone's inherent views.
Xu Yi could completely imagine what kind of commotion this news would cause once it spread.
For example, if this group of people in front of him wanted to digest this news, it would probably take a long time …
Just as he was thinking about the consequences and what he needed to do to deal with it, Xu Yi suddenly felt a similar magic fluctuation in the surrounding space.
Xu Yi, as well as Akali and the others who were still in a daze, tensed up at the same time, but then relaxed.
The black spatial ripples that represented teleportation magic dissipated, and Mentor Carmilla's figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
Seeing everyone's expressions as if they were facing a great enemy, Mentor Carmilla waved her hand and asked Xu Yi, "What's the situation?"
Xu Yi asked in return, "Grandfather, why did you suddenly come?
Where's the other archmage?
Did you guys decide the victor? "
Mentor Carmilla frowned, "Halfway through the battle, he suddenly ran away. I couldn't stop him.
Did something happen to you guys?
Why do you all have such expressions? "
Xu Yi turned his head to look at Akali and the others who still hadn't reacted. He shrugged and said, "It's nothing. It's just that an archmage just died, and these guys are a bit unable to accept it."
"Dead?"
Mentor Carmilla rushed to Xu Yi's side with an agility that didn't match his age, grabbing him by the collar.
"You said he's dead?"
Xu Yi looked at Mentor Carmilla in shock, thinking that his reaction was much greater than Akali and the others'. Perhaps it was because he was also an archmage, so they were in the same boat?
"Mm, he should be dead."
"Really dead?
You're not joking?
Where's the corpse? "Mentor Carmilla immediately asked.
"Alright, I can only be more than ninety percent sure that he's dead.
As for the corpse … "Xu Yi spread his hands.
"It should have been blown to smithereens. There's no corpse to speak of at all."
Mentor Carmilla raised his head to look in the direction of the explosion. His expression changed, and in the next moment, his body had already disappeared into thin air.
After a moment, he reappeared with a strange looking ring in his hand.
"What is this?" Seeing Mentor Carmilla staring at the ring with a complicated expression, Xu Yi asked curiously.
Mentor Carmilla sighed softly, "This should be the famous Ring of the Doomsday Elves. It is said to be one of the secret treasures of the elven royal family. It has always been in the hands of Levin Hasok.
Levin Hasok would never casually throw away such a precious secret treasure.
So … he should really be dead … "
"Oh …" Xu Yi casually responded, and the last trace of worry in his heart faded away.
After all, he wasn't an archmage, so he didn't know if archmages had any special life-saving means. Now that even Mentor Carmilla said that Levin Hasok was dead, he could completely relax.
Mentor Carmilla sighed again and threw the Ring of the Doomsday Elves to Xu Yi.
"Take this ring.
It is said that the Ring of the Doomsday Elves contains a great secret of the elves. It is also a very powerful magic tool. Keep it and it can help you improve your magic level.
In addition, with the existence of this ring, it should make the news of Levin Hasok's death more credible. "
Hearing Mentor Carmilla's last sentence, Xu Yi was slightly stunned.
"Don't look at me like that, I know what you are thinking." Mentor Carmilla turned to look at the explosion area in the distance, and a trace of desolation flitted across her expression.
"After today, the status of mages on the continent will probably undergo an earth-shattering change.
This world … no longer belongs to the world of mages … "
"Isn't this a good thing?" Xu Yi smiled slightly.
"Mages are still special, but people don't need to revere them, but should respect them.
The status and value of mages still hasn't changed, it's just that … the field has changed. "
Mentor Carmilla looked deeply at Xu Yi and nodded lightly, "I hope so."
