Chapter 815: Chapter 815 The Birth of the Shattering Crystal Stone
Zhao Guang didn’t hold back; whether the issue with the elves was resolved or not didn’t matter much, what was crucial was his own need.
The crystal stones created by those mutant locusts are very special items.
Unlike the Anti-Magic Crystal Stone, which completely dissipates elemental power, creating an environment where no elemental power can be mobilized, external magic can still penetrate.
Though Anti-Magic Crystal Stones could restrain it, it could only provide partial suppression.
But this crystal stone breaks down magic, forcibly restoring elemental power to its calmest state.
These locusts use this ability to destroy magic and, while the elements haven’t completely settled, use the power to refine their special organs, aiding rapid reproduction.
These are two rather contradictory abilities but are indeed useful against powerful magic.
Zhao Guang didn’t waste words, walking forward under the watchful eyes of a group of elves.
The same approach as before: a burst of cold freezing the area, then collecting and burning it away. Gradually, the elves who were fluttering inside stopped and gathered here.
“What are you all gathering for? Go around and report back if you find places where there is a large gathering of insects.”
At Alya’s command, the surrounding elves moved away swiftly and decisively.
For them to be so obedient indicates Alya’s very high prestige.
Elves are not creatures that are naturally obedient; even with a higher status, getting them to comply isn’t easy. As for strength, elves generally don’t value it.
Most elves view their peers as equals.
If it weren’t so, elves wouldn’t continue living in a state similar to a primitive society.
Yet this has nothing to do with himself; Zhao Guang only wants this special disintegration crystal stone. Yes, the Disintegration Crystal Stone, a stone that breaks down magic power, as Zhao Guang named it.
With this, perhaps he could achieve an even more powerful magic.
Similar to spell counteracting, but with a more intense effect.
Over the following days, Zhao Guang focused on the great task of exterminating pests in this place.
To be honest, the magic power Zhao Guang releases daily even astonishes Alya. Is this guy really a mage? Such large-scale magic continuously erupting—it’s more than she can handle.
Remember, this is entirely released using his own magic power, not utilizing the surrounding elemental power.
Considering this, if he mobilized elemental power, wouldn’t one person be equivalent to several Elemental Masters? No, even the persistent destructive power could compare to a Legendary Mage.
In reality, Alya overthought a bit, because Zhao Guang’s ability to mobilize elements isn’t as strong as professional mages, let alone the Elemental Masters, the gap is even larger.
The key point is, Zhao Guang’s outbursts aren’t short but continuous.
With brief meditation skills during rest and his terrifying recovery ability, he manages this performance.
If it truly came to a fight, he would be far behind. Although his spiritual power has reached the breakthrough requirement for a Legend, Zhao Guang’s path is different from ordinary legends.
Breaking through to Legend requires walking the “Legend Road,” and everyone’s Legend Road differs, representing one’s future development direction and potential.
Zhao Guang’s path is proving his dao with strength, attempting to forcibly break through that level with his spiritual power.
Because he doesn’t take shortcuts, the required spiritual power is even greater, several times that of others. Hence, Zhao Guang is still in a state of accumulating and condensing spiritual power, unable to break through.
Even so, compared to a Legend, the difference is still substantial.
After several busy days, when the final part of the locusts was cleared, the crystal stone in Zhao Guang’s hand was as big as a fist. Although it needs further refinement back home, it’s enough for his use.
“Finally completed.” Zhao Guang looked at the crystal stone in his hand, very satisfied.
The only trouble is, with this crystal stone, he can’t mobilize elemental power himself.
Right now, in this Otherworld, carrying this disintegration crystal stone is similar to Earth’s magic-less environment. Of course, this thing affects not only himself but anyone.
If he wanted, he could refine and develop it further, perhaps creating large-scale anti-magic equipment.
The effect would be much more useful than his large-scale Anti-Magic Crystal Stone, though it’s somewhat wasteful.
At this point, Alya also breathed a sigh of relief; the problem that had plagued them for several years was finally solved. If continued, they really wouldn’t know what to do.
If this continued to grow, the entire forest would face a massive crisis.
“Thank you, Lord Zhao Guang, for your help. The things you need, we’ll organize and personally send to Xuanwu Territory. The rest, leave it to us.”
It’s impossible to kill all the locusts completely; actually, some remain scattered.
Luckily, although dangerous, they don’t have strong lethal power. As long as you don’t mobilize elemental power, you can easily kill them by hand. Now, many elf patrol teams are searching around this area.
Once found, eliminate it directly; for some time, this will be a key search area.
“Understood, I’m assured of that. Now about the Flying Dragon matter…”
“Flying Dragon?” Alya was a bit puzzled; she wasn’t aware of this matter.
“Yes, the Flying Dragon. I know where it is; I’ll take you there.” Galil, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly popped out of nowhere, knowing Alya wouldn’t be the one to have a say.
Besides, he was coordinating patrol teams, helping handle the remaining locust issues.
Seeing Galil emerge, although Alya didn’t know what the matter was, she didn’t ask further. She just signaled to Galil: “Go help, and if Lord Zhao Guang needs anything, report anytime.”
“Rest assured, I know what to do.”
Then Galil motioned to Zhao Guang, inviting him. Zhao Guang waved and used the power of wind to fly Galil up. Of course, this was his mimicry of the Wind Element, not natural elements.
Carrying that disintegration crystal stone, which couldn’t be placed in the Space Ring, he now had to rely on himself.
