Inferno Archmage Sastor was the G.o.d of the Fire Sect, the mastermind behind the Yan Empire, and an undefeatable figure at the pinnacle of Level-19 .

Nozama was at the pinnacle of Level-19 too . In the game, he'd almost upended the Firuman Realm . The World Tree of the High Elves was a magic item at Level-19 . It was powerful enough to fuse two separate realms .

In this realm, the pinnacle of Level-19 was a synonym of "incredible . "

The pinnacle of Level-19 was also the highest level a realm could contain . Any further and one would enter the divine state . Anyone in that state would either get repelled by the realm, or they would cause the realm to burst .

Of course, there hadn't been any G.o.d who'd forcefully burst a realm yet . Even the frightening Ruler of Light and Darkness couldn't .

To someone at Level-19, anyone below their level—even someone at the pinnacle of Level-18—could be killed with just a bit of strength .

This was why people at the pinnacle of Level-19 had "arch" before their t.i.tle . Warriors were Archwarriors while Magicians were Archmages .

After Sastor arrived at the Isle of Eternal Winter, Snow Mountain Archmage Iyr did two things . One was to activate a defense spell, sealing his palace . The second was to leave the palace and fight Sastor thousands of feet in the air .

Sastor hadn't come alone . Some of his men had come, but they were at Level-16 . To Iyr, they were as insignificant as flies .

Of course, they were flies now . But if he kept fighting Sastor and used up a lot of energy, these "flies" could still influence the game .

That was alright though . Iyr didn't care about life or death now . He had one simple goal, which was to send Link to the Firuman Realm so he had enough time to mature and counter the Ruler of Light and Darkness!

"Sastor, I used to respect you because you were the most talented Magician I've met . But now, I'm disappointed . No matter how talented or lucky you are, you're just a dog . "

Iyr was calm as he spoke . Rather than insulting Sastor, he seemed to be stating an obvious fact .

To the proud Sastor, Iyr's words were like an arrow to his heart . He felt his face heat up, but he just couldn't utter any refutation . The fire simmered in his heart, and it felt so uncomfortable .

After many seconds, he finally gritted out, "Iyr, you don't know what you're facing at all . You—"

Iyr waved, cutting him off . "Cut the nonsense . Let's start!"

Before he finished, beams of light already flashed around Iyr . The dozens of arrow-like crystal cones appeared out of thin air . They spun around Iyr in a complicated yet precise way . The iciness in the air thickened .

Sastor's expression grew serious . "Retreat from the isle!" he called to his believers .

This was the battlefield for the Archmages . Everyone else would be swept up by the storm and be crushed easily . This time, even Saroviny didn't delay . She was the first to turn and escape . Milda and the three Lava Knights quickly retreated too .

They'd been far behind the Inferno Archmage . After getting the command, they ran at full speed and quickly exited the Isle of Eternal Winter .

When the last Lava Knight retreated, deafening cracks came from the 200-mile-wide island behind them . The island and the frozen sea around it were instantly covered in a web of cracks .

The cracks deepened and widened . Less than ten seconds later, the entire island disappeared from the sea surface . The frozen sea also turned into warm water . In the distant horizon, there was a red and white ball of light . They entangled and collided, setting off ripples of shockwaves .

Under the colliding power, the members of the Fire Sect could feel the ground shaking despite being hundreds of miles away . The sea had started roaring too . Mountainous waves crashed towards all directions, creating tsunamis going towards land .

Under the colliding power, the members of the Fire Sect could feel the ground shaking despite being hundreds of miles away . The sea had started roaring too . Mountainous waves crashed towards all directions, creating tsunamis going towards land .

The furious waves forced the people back further .

This kind of power made one speechless . Milda and the Lava Knights had lost their words . Even Saroviny who called herself the daughter of a G.o.d was floored . She couldn't believe a mortal could reach this level .

The battle went on for 16 seconds . At 17 seconds, the ball of white light at the horizon was scattered by the red light . However, the red light also paid greatly . His light was much dimmer than before .

If his light had been comparable to the sun before, he was now like a star at night that glowed a bit brighter than the others .

Inferno Archmage Sastor was extremely talented, but Iyr was a grandmaster too . Their skills were at the same level . The main reason why Sastor won was because he had the Divine Fragment and the support from his believers .

The fight between the two Archmages had ended . Sastor quickly turned and ran from the battlefield . At the same time, a voice rang out in the minds of his believers . Iyr is dead while the Ferde lord is still unharmed . I will continue to lock the realm so he can't escape . You all work together to kill him!

By the time he finished, the Inferno Archmage had already vanished .

Milda and the others all had reverent expressions . Only Saroviny looked in the direction Sastor went in deep thought . "He ran so quickly . He must have been hurt badly and is too scared to face the Ferde lord now . "

Iyr may have died, but the Inferno Archmage had paid greatly for it .

"Let's go," Milda said . "Let us go meet that Ferde lord… Saroviny, are you okay?"

Saroviny's injuries were healed by a divine spell, but it had been a serious wound . It would still affect her combat ability . Milda didn't want something to happen at this critical time .

Saroviny never liked this High Elf . If Milda wasn't here, Saroviny would be the most powerful in the Fire Sect and be wors.h.i.+pped by the thousands of believers . After Milda came, she took all this glory away . No wonder Saroviny hated Milda .

She scoffed . "Worry about yourself, Milda . I heard that the Ferde lord's your old lover . Don't get soft and cause trouble!"

Milda smiled thinly . "Since you're arguing with me, I guess you're fine . Let's go . "

This annoyed Saroviny . She wanted to tear apart this pretty and clever High Elf, but she still knew her place . She was much more powerful than Milda, but the three Lava Knights were all on her side . Milda's Prophecy Staff was powerful too . Saroviny might not be a match if they got into a fight . She would get reprimanded by her father too .

She never did things with no benefits .

Huffing, Saroviny opened her territory and rushed towards the palace in the heart of the island . Milda and the others followed .

The Isle of Eternal Winter had completely sunk . All they could see was the blue sea surface . After flying for more than 100 miles, they finally saw something different .

There was a lonely stone pillar in the middle of the sea . The pillar had the damaged palace . At the entrance, there was an elder holding a staff with both hands . He stood there quietly . It was Iyr, the Snow Mountain Archmage .

"Ah, Iyr isn't dead!" a Lava Knight yelled .

"Oh my G.o.d, what do we do?"

At the front, Saroviny's pupils constricted . Her heart skipped a beat too . She'd just witnessed an Archmage's power . No matter how brave she was, she didn't dare fight an Archmage . That was suicide!

But she quickly realized that even though Iyr was standing, he had no power aura . His body was completely frozen too . This was a lifeless corpse .

"Don't freak out . He's dead!" Saroviny called .

But she quickly realized that even though Iyr was standing, he had no power aura . His body was completely frozen too . This was a lifeless corpse .

"Don't freak out . He's dead!" Saroviny called .

Everyone looked carefully and was relieved when they realized it was true .

"This d.a.m.n old guy . He's scaring us even when he's dead," a Lava Knight cursed .

As soon as he spoke, footsteps sounded from the ruins of the palace . Clack, clack . A few seconds later, a young man with black hair, black eyes, the Crown of Eternal Night, a silver-black battle robe, and a long sword walked out .

He stopped at the door and bowed to the Snow Mountain Archmage Iyr rooted there . Then he raised his head and looked at the Lava Knight who'd spoken . "Everyone will die . Some die without any meaning . Others should be respected, even in death . Knight, kneel and apologize . "

The Lava Knight shuddered under Link's gaze . Then he realized the opponent was alone while his side had five people . It boosted his courage . "I am the Blazing Fire Lauste . I'll say what I want!"

Link wasn't looking at him anymore . The sentence before was announcing the other's end . There was no need to say more to a dead person .

He turned to Milda .

A century had pa.s.sed, but as the Fire Sect's Saint, she had top skills and maintained her beauty well . In fact, she looked more graceful and elegant now . If Milda had been like a lily growing beside a creek before, she was now like a blooming rose being cared for in a royal garden .

Thinking back, the past had become smoke . The smoke now transformed into a faint smile . "After so many years, we've become rivals . We'll meet with our weapons later . I can only say sorry . "

Milda opened her mouth . She wanted to speak but found herself speechless . Now that she actually faced Link, her calm disappeared . All that remained were complicated feelings .

Seeing this, Saroviny pulled out her sword . "Link, you won't defeat me even if we fight again! Come at me!"
