Chapter 844 - 421: Coolness Is Power
In short, this is a highly versatile Spell, capable of both offense and defense, and it provides substantial assistance in daily affairs.
What Gauss likes most is that it truly looks cool.
A giant energy arm emitting dazzling silver light is quietly waiting by his side, looking imposing.
Coolness is power.
Moreover, it operates like a connected organ, allowing for free control, which feels exceptionally good.
Though currently, because he has just mastered it, his proficiency has yet to fully develop, so there is still some stiffness, but he believes that with practice, he’ll soon reach the level of seamless control.
The power of this ultimate move is indeed terrifying; he feels that with a gentle swing of Bigby’s Hand, he can easily destroy a city wall tens of meters high and several meters thick.
With one slap, all creatures within the range would be squashed into pulp.
And unexpectedly, he can sense that while this Spell requires immense Magic Power to cast, normal attacks consume much less, needing only occasional replenishment to maintain Bigby’s Hand.
It is unlike most offensive magic, like the Fireball Technique or the Magic Missile, which are one-off deals. To be precise, it’s not like the Ice Storm, which is a continuous Spell; it more resembles the creation of a special "tangible entity."
As long as he has sufficient Magic Power and does not actively dispel the magic effect, this Bigby’s Hand will continue to exist.
He controlled Bigby’s Hand for a swipe, and contrary to its massive size, it wasn’t slow at all and had immense force.
The air in front of it was instantly compressed by some powerful force, and he even suspected that with more training in explosive force, he could unleash some sort of air missile.
A powerful gust of wind suddenly formed in front of him.
"Whoosh!!!"
The distant woods immediately bent into a twisted arc due to the impact of the gale.
After practicing the control of Bigby’s Hand on site, the proficiency of this Spell quickly rose to 4 points.
Having finished training Bigby’s Hand, he didn’t immediately dispel its effect.
After all, it was condensed with so much Magic Power, and leaving it to its own devices doesn’t consume much Magic Power.
He turned his gaze to his second Tier 5 Spell model, Dawn.
Compared to Bigby’s Hand, its effect is relatively singular.
It targets a specified location to summon a descending beam of light for a pinpoint strike.
To avoid affecting others, he purposely flew a considerable distance, over ten to twenty kilometers, until he was completely distanced from his teammates, and then he looked towards a nearby open area.
With the experience of driving the equally Tier 5 Spell Bigby’s Hand, this time driving Dawn was a bit easier.
After contemplating for over ten seconds, he reopened his eyes.
His gaze shimmered with the scorching radiance akin to the sun, followed immediately by his White Magic Wand shimmering more brilliantly than ever.
Here’s a fun fact, Gauss had long detected that his White Magic Wand seemed to have a special bonus for Light-based spells.
Even ordinary illumination spells, when cast with his Magic Staff, could achieve the effect against spirits akin to Light spells.
And now, the Tier 5 Dawn is not something the Tier Zero Trick Light Spell can compare with; the bonus seems even more terrifying.
Clearly, it was a relatively dim Maze, but the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became extraordinarily dazzling.
Gauss concentrated his attention on the chosen open area.
"Dawn!"
The next moment, his White Magic Wand was raised above his head.
"Boom!!!"
A powerful light beam instantly descended from the sky above the land, as if cast by the Staff of God!
An extremely dazzling light column erupted.
Gauss instinctively squinted his eyes.
Unlike the scorching explosion of the Fireball Technique, the power released by Dawn was more of a sanctified strike, with a terrifying force akin to some awe-inspiring divine fury.
Within that enormous light column, no life could hide; from sparrows to burrow-crawling worms, even airborne microbes, all were subjected to "purification," countless particles flickered within.
Such formidable strength...
Fortunately, as the Caster, he seemed to possess immunity to that omnipresent light, so he wasn’t significantly affected.
On the distant horizon, a group of people were perched on a giant eagle’s back, rapidly flying towards the direction of the Red Dragon Team.
Suddenly, as the Adventurers on the eagle’s back were still turning to discuss something.
"Cry!!!"
The giant eagle suddenly let out a cry.
Right after, it seemed as if all their sight had been hit by a flashbang; within visible range, all was white.
The eagle, startled, lost its balance and plummeted with its passengers.
Luckily, the flash came fast and went fast.
Once their vision was restored, it regained altitude before crashing into the ground, flapping its wings and returning to the sky.
"What happened?"
Still shaken, the group wiped the cold sweat from their brows and then anxiously glanced around.
Quickly, they noticed a gradually dissipating, broken light column in the distance.
So, was that flash just now created by someone else’s magic?
Everyone on the eagle’s back swallowed hard simultaneously.
They were one or two kilometers away from that light column, which objectively isn’t close and surely isn’t within the range affected by ordinary spells.
The only reason might be that they were currently in mid-air with no cover.
Still, this is too unbelievable.
An elderly figure dressed in a Mage’s robe on the eagle’s back squinted slightly, noticing a silhouette floating next to the now dissipated light column, evidently the spell’s Caster, his gaze filled with reverence.
Such a terrifying Caster.
