Link stood next to the pillar of light . He did nothing to stop the spatial fluctuations, nor did he leave . He simply took a few steps back, trying to antic.i.p.ate what kind of figure might come out from the spatial distortions .

It wasn't that he didn't do anything . He was considering the worst case scenario that could happen . Supposing that he got caught up in an ensuing battle, he still had 1000 Omni Points remaining and over 9500 Dragon Power points . Therefore, he was browsing through the Legendary spell cards that now hovered in his vision .

Link was familiar with most of them now . If he needed to, he could purchase one in the fastest possible time and immediately cast the spell .

The spatial fluctuations on the white stone bracelet became even more p.r.o.nounced . It expanded rapidly, reaching nine feet in height and six feet in width before stopping . Within this s.p.a.ce, the fluctuations were extremely violent . This state lasted for about five seconds before a jade green figure appeared within .

Amidst this green light, a big, burly figure walked out .

This person was wearing a dark green Magician robe layered with purple lines . In one hand, he held a golden branch which had three green leaves sprouting from it . He had a head of short, grey, white hair, and his features looked ancient . Beneath the wrinkles though, one could imagine that he must have been good looking when he was younger .

What caught Link's eye was the shape of the figure's ears . It wasn't round like a human, but neither was it as sharp as an elf . It was somewhat special .

After the figure appeared, he looked at the fractured corpse lying in pieces on the floor .

He didn't say a thing but walked towards the head which had rolled a distance away . He picked it up .

Because of the immense pain that she experienced before her death, Ravenna's face had been contorted in pain . Her eyes were bloodshot and were almost popping out . Her skin was also tearing . It looked just like a person who had been hung, only much worse .

After looking at it for a moment, a light appeared in the old man's hands surrounding the dismembered head . He gently squeezed the light, and the head dispersed into countless motes of light, gradually disappearing . He turned to Link . "I know that my granddaughter's character was flawed, and she would meet such an end sooner or later . Yet, I never expected that she would die by your hands . If you gave her a simple death, I wouldn't blame you for it . But why? Why did you have to make her suffer so?"

His questions revealed his ident.i.ty . He was the Legendary Magician that had shaken the world of Firuman 300 years ago, Bryant . At the same time, the question also demonstrated that he had recognized Link as his granddaughter's killer .

His words were extremely certain and left no room for doubt . This showed that he was a person with a lot of confidence and strength . Faced up against a person like this who was convinced of his own judgment, Link knew that he would not be able to resolve the matter easily .

The legends said that Bryant spent his life pursuing a High Elf named Fiona . The stories between the two of them had been recorded in many songs and sung by bards throughout the land .

To the layman, these were stories simply for enjoyment . To Link, these stories actually gave him a clue into Bryant's personality .

Bryant was a person who acted very much on emotion . Because of the High Elf he was chasing, he had forsaken humanity, his family, children, his land, everything . He had gone alone to the Isle of Dawn . Now, it could be seen that even his ears were pointy .

Perhaps some of that personality had been inherited by Ravenna .

Now, the story from the legends had turned into reality . Bryant was no longer the pride of the human world and the chosen one of the G.o.d of Light . He was now a High Elf, and a grandfather that had lost his daughter .

Link was on high alert as he said, "I didn't kill her . "

"Young man, what's done is done; there's no point saying this now . " Bryant sighed as he looked around at the well-lit harbor . "This is a pretty nice city . Unfortunately, the Lord committed an unforgivable crime . "

Without any evidence, there was no way for Link to argue his case .

He didn't bother explaining further . "How do you intend to resolve this issue then?"

Bryant turned to look back at Link . "Just admit when you've committed a wrong . Young man, I used to think very highly of you . However, you've killed my granddaughter and even tortured her so . I've got to help her get revenge now . Since you're the junior, I'll let you make the first move . "

Link squinted his eyes . In his eyes, Bryant's strength was as brilliant as a sun in the night sky . A message appeared in his vision .

Prophet Bryant

Level-12 Legendary Magician

Weapon: Fiona's touch .

Legendary weapon .

Effect: Unknown

(Note: The last gift from Fiona . )

This was an extremely strong enemy . Three hundred years ago, his name shook the continent . He was also stronger than Link by two whole levels now . He had plenty of reason to be so confident .

However, in a fight between two Legendary Magicians, level was indeed a factor to consider, but it wasn't the most important one . Things like battle experience, battle speed and the number of spells were other factors that could play a huge role in the battle .

Both parties were Legendary levels and were in fact not that far apart in strength . Bryant had an advantage, but it was a stretch to say that Bryant completely suppressed Link .

Link did not rush to attack . Instead, he said, "This place is too close to civilization . I'm afraid we will hurt innocent bystanders . Let's move to somewhere else . "

Bryant laughed . "You indeed think things through . Alright, there is a canyon 25 miles north of here . Let's go there . "

Bryant vanished in a flash of green light, as he traveled towards the canyon at an unimaginable speed . Link blinked, and he could no longer see the opponent anywhere .

Link could escape, but he would never do it . His friends and relatives could never escape from Bryant anyway .

Link did not rush as Bryant did . Instead, he took his time, slowly jogging . After a few steps, a message appeared in his vision .

New Mission: Decisive Battle

Description: Defeat Legendary Magician Bryant, but do not kill him!

Mission Reward: a.s.sa.s.sin's Vision of Truth (Epic)

Link sighed . The G.o.d of Light gave him this mission with such a reward . This was truly leading him on . Furthermore, there were even conditions such as beating Bryant without killing him . It was a truly difficult mission .

Nonetheless, Link made his decision .

Suddenly, the Dragon King's Wrath sword spirit spoke, "Link, we aren't his opponent . Shall we just escape?"

Link stared at it for a moment . "Tell me how we can run?"

"Bryant is a famous figure after all . He probably won't go after your relatives or friends, and just target you . Wait until we've become stronger, then we'll find him to duke it out . What do you think?"

"Are you sure he won't attack my friends?"

"Uhm… probably?"

"Then, that's not an option . " Link rejected the sword spirit's suggestion . Thinking for a moment, Link decided to save 200 Omni Points and use the rest of his 800 points on increasing his maximum Dragon Power limit .

Whoosh . Suddenly, Link felt heat rising from deep within himself . In an instant, his aura swept all around him, and a message appeared in his vision .

Link Morani (Baron)

Level-10 peak Legendary Magician

Dragon Power Limit: 10300 points

Once someone reached the Legendary level, it seemed that getting stronger became exponentially difficult . Based on experience, Link would need 11,000 Dragon Power points to reach Level-11 . That was still a ways off .

Although Link did not travel as fast as Bryant, he was still very fast . In a second, he could cover 600 feet . It took him but a few minutes to travel 25 miles .

The area lay on the border of Ferde territory, in between the mountains and the forests . In the middle of two mountains, there was a large canyon spanning over 6000 feet in length and 600 feet in width .

The wind through the canyon was loud, making howling sounds as it blew past . In the middle of the big canyon, Bryant was waiting for Link . The wind tugged at his robe, causing it to flutter violently, but Bryant stood in the middle of it all, unmoving .

After he saw Link, he said, "I was afraid you'd run away . If you did, I might not necessarily have gone to chase you down . "

The sword spirit immediately said, "See, I told you we could have ran . "

Bryant continued, "However, if you did run, I would go to your land and find one of your relatives . And then, in a similar manner, I would slowly torture your relatives to death . Then, we would be even . "

The sword spirit was speechless now .

This however made Link laugh . "Even? So your revenge is simply to get another person as a replacement? So you just want to vent the frustration in your heart? After three hundred years, your methods are still pathetic . If not for the G.o.d of Light's protection, I really suspect you wouldn't have lived until now . "

If it were other normal people, it would still be acceptable for them to pay an eye for an eye . No one would blame them . But based on Bryant's status, such a move was just too low .

Bryant could not be entrusted with anything because he might suddenly lose his cool and quit halfway .

At this point, Link had already lost all respect for Bryant . Link's words were very sharp . Bryant's expression turned cold, and his heart burned with anger .

This again! The High Elf queen said so, Princess Milda said so too, now, even this human is saying so . I have unrivaled power . Why do I have to care what the common folk think?

Boom! The Mana around Bryant's body surged, exploding violently outwards . A menacing voice shouted from amidst the Mana cloud . "Youngster, you have no right to judge me! Show me your moves, or else I'll kill you this instant!"

Link no longer bothered restraining his power . Crystal red light surged around his body, gradually forming into the shape of a dragon .

Link eyed Bryant who was 900 feet away, while his mind quickly worked to think of a way to ensure that Bryant would never be able to get the initiative once he started attacking .

…

Just as Link and Bryant were beginning their battle, there was another distortion in s.p.a.ce back at the harbor . Seconds later, a dimensional door opened .

Three people walked out from the door . One looked like a 30-year-old High Elf female, while the two others looked over fifty . They were probably High Elf elders .

They looked at the corpse on the ground and were startled .

"It's Ravenna, she really was killed . "

"Don't mind this, Your Majesty, look there!" An elder pointed towards the northern horizon .

It was late at night, but there were stunning flashes of light appearing throughout the northern sky . One side was a dark green while the other was a crystal red .

"They're really fighting it out!"

The High Elf woman was the Queen . She anxiously said, "Hurry, we must stop their fight!"
