I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 438: Chapter 349: Wendell’s Gratitude

Accompanying the dazzling magic glow that burst before the eyes of the Boditch Soldiers, Radish and Seeking Intoxication simultaneously triggered the special magic items in their hands.

The invisible fluctuations suddenly spread outwards, like a breeze brushing across their faces.

The Boditch Soldiers, who were preparing to surround them, were shocked and involuntarily closed their eyes under the blazing light.

Is this also a bomb?

The hearts of the Boditch Soldiers went cold, but after a moment, they didn’t feel any impact coming.

It’s not a bomb?

A soldier beside Radish and his companion opened his eyes, ready to call out for the support of his comrades.

But for some reason, why couldn’t any sound come out of his throat?

Just as he was about to move forward to kill the two in front of him, the gun in his hand suddenly froze in place.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

…

Go to

This situation wasn’t unique to the soldier by Radish’s side. Other elite soldiers and mages of the Boditch Royal Mage Group all fell into the same state.

This left all mages who were casting spells choking mid-incantation, with magic spells getting stuck in their throats–some of the unlucky fellows even got severely injured by magic backlash.

For mages, the process of reciting incantations isn’t a necessity; it’s more of a help to organize magic power and construct magic models.

Mages skilled enough don’t need to recite magic spells to cast them; that’s the advanced skill [Spellcasting Without Incantation]!

To master this skill, a mage needs extensive training and exceptional talent–which is quite difficult, so very few mages can do it.

Therefore, only a few, three or four, within the Boditch Royal Mage Group had mastered [Spellcasting Without Incantation].

Just as the few who had mastered [Spellcasting Without Incantation] were reacting and preparing to cast spells to dispel the [Silent Zone], they suddenly stopped their hands, not knowing what to do.

The effect of [Mental Confusion] made everyone in the area forget what they were about to do next.

This was the special gift that Lis had prepared for the Boditch Royal Mage Group.

[Silent Zone] is one of the special spells of the extraordinary profession, Minstrel, which Lis obtained from Ariel.

Ariel, destined to be a Gold Rank Minstrel and one of the Pirate Kings, possessed numerous special spells, allowing Lis to greatly augment his skill reserves in this area.

The exclusive Minstrel and Priest spells [Silent Zone], [Silence Technique] that Lis acquired this time, could both achieve the effect of silencing the opponent.

The only difference is that [Silence Technique] has a smaller area of effect and is easier to break.

[Silent Zone] actually controls sound waves in a specific area, able to achieve the effect of silence and also control spell effects based on language and sound waves–an advanced spell in this category.

[Mental Confusion] is also one of the high-level spells. This advanced magic imposes a [Chaos Technique] effect on all beings within its range.

If they fail the resolve check, just like those from the Boditch Royal Mage Group, they’ll subconsciously forget what they’re doing and what they want to do.

Under the effects of these two advanced spells, the mages of the Boditch Royal Mage Group almost instantly lost their ability to cast spells.

The two items that Lis created were the outcomes of his research after breaking through to the Gold Rank.

This type of magic item is by engraving magic models on special materials, which can be activated through a special method to take effect.

This method is similar to the fixed magic on various magic equipment, except one has a one-time effect, and the other has a fixed, recoverable effect.

Easy to say, but the two special items that Lis made contained advanced magic with intricate and complex magic models. To fix them onto small items and imbue them with magic power was even harder.

…

On the frontline battlefield, the Feis army, which was enduring the Bodici Mage Group’s attack, felt the pressure lighten and were somewhat puzzled as to what had happened. However, under the decisive order of their commander, they directly rushed toward the position of the Mage Group.

At the same time, countless arrows rained down, already injuring many mages.

“Damn, is it that powerful?”

Radish, gravely injured, looked at the Boditch Soldiers around him, who had turned into motionless figures, with a shocked face. Overjoyed, he prepared to pull out the only alchemy bomb he had on him.

Suddenly, he found himself frozen, utterly unable to control his body.

———-

[You have been affected by [Silent Zone]!]

[You have entered a [Silence] status!]

…

[You have been affected by [Mental Confusion]!]

[You need to make a willpower check!]

[Check failed!]

[You have entered a [Chaos State]!]

———-

So now Radish and Seeking Intoxication, like the Boditch Soldiers and mages around them, were temporarily stunned in place.

Damn!

This spell doesn’t distinguish between friends and foes!

Radish and Seeking Intoxication had no choice. Although their minds were clear, they simply could not control their own bodies and could only watch helplessly as the responsive Boditch Soldiers killed them.

[Chaos State] isn’t a control effect like [Dizzy], which prevents action, it just makes it much harder to control one’s own movements.

But in such a state, it’s practically impossible to use complex and intricate magic.

Just as the Feis army was about to take advantage of the Boditch Royal Mage Group’s confusion to completely crush them, a sudden change occurred.
