Elite Mages' Academy Chapter 558 - Ivan's Final Battle

Chapter 558: Ivan’s Final Battle

Xiao Lin’s intuition seemed to be attracted by something in that gla.s.s ball. The feeling was different from the other gla.s.s b.a.l.l.s. The feeling only got that strong after he opened Heaven’s Eye. He stared at the gla.s.s ball in front of him, furrowing his eyebrows for a moment before revealing a strange expression.

A Shard of Creation!

That strange sensation meant that it was clearly a Shard of Creation!

Xiao Lin already knew that the Shards of Creation shared a certain relations.h.i.+p, but he currently had very few of them, so the relations.h.i.+p was very weak. After receiving the newest shard from the Rosa Kingdom and successfully fusing the few he had into an incomplete body, it greatly strengthened the connection.

“I never thought there would be a shard here, but why did I not feel it earlier?” Xiao Lin mumbled to himself before touching the eye on his forehead. After eliminating all other possibilities, the only answer left was that it was something caused by the eye on his forehead.

On the surface, that gla.s.s ball was no different from the others; there was a blurry liquid inside just like the others, and there was s.p.a.ce to store a Shard of Creation, but Xiao Lin believed that the reaction from the Shards of Creation within his body would not be wrong, so he reached out to touch the gla.s.s ball.

The surroundings suddenly blurred once again, and when he reopened his eyes, Xiao Lin noticed that he was in a dense forest. The dark skies were covered with large clouds. The temperature looked very low, but of course, Xiao Lin could not feel the temperature at all as a spectator. Two men stood nearby, and one of them was Ivanovich.

Xiao Lin had met Ivan before, even if that was just an incomplete fragment of Ivanovich’s memories within his dream world. However, he had a deep impression of the man, so he could immediately identify him at just a glance.

When he looked at the other man, Xiao Lin was shocked, because it was a man who looked noticeably older than Ivan, and was not completely unfamiliar to Xiao Lin. He was familiar because he looked too much like Song Junlang from the Logistics Department! If it was not for the fact that their ages looked too different, Xiao Lin would have thought that it actually was Song Junlang.

“Ivan, why are you doing this?” The man who looked like Song Junlang asked with a pained look; his voice was very low, quite different from Song Junlang’s, which gave Xiao Lin some relief. He was much more certain that it was not Song Junlang, but he had to have been a relative of his.

“Song! You don’t have to say anymore! You should know my temper more than anyone else. My alma mater educated me, and I’m grateful to them, but they lied to me, lied to this world! That’s something I cannot accept!” Ivanovich said emotionally; his Mandarin was not very accurate, but the general meaning could be understood.

“This world has always been wrapped around lies and falsehood. Haven’t you seen through that? Even people as strong as you and me can’t save the home world. We can’t save everyone!” the man who looked like Song Junlang said slowly. His voice was low, hiding a certain amount of sadness.

“Is that so? Even if you don’t understand me!” Ivan sighed, his tone turning cold. “You are right — we can’t save everyone, but they used my mother’s soul to threaten me. I hate necromancers the most in this world. Everyone who specializes in that should all be sent to h.e.l.l! Hahaha, did they think that I would fall to their wills just like that? They are naive to a despicable degree. Who am I? I am Ivanovich, I am an SS-rank talent-holder! Who do they think they are? Who?!”

Ivan’s eyes started to redden, and his voice carried a certain sadness. “Song, do you know? I shattered my mother’s soul. I personally killed my mother, but I had no choice. When we reach our level of skill, it’s not difficult to control souls. I don’t want my mother to be controlled by others, even in death. I would rather she die in my hands.”

“I’m sorry. I can understand your pain, but I have nothing to do with Voyna Akademiya. Your actions now are threatening Dawn Academy and my country, so I have no choice.” Song’s eyes dropped.

“Even you think I’m trying to destroy the world? I’ve said many times that I’m saving the world, not destroying it… Even you don’t believe me?”

Ivan laughed. “Since that’s the case, there’s nothing much to say. Song, you are my best friend. Even though you are just an S-rank talent-holder, you are called the one closest to me. It’s not a surprise they sent you here, but no matter how close you are, you still can’t reach my level.”

“How do we know if we don’t try?” Song smiled softly, but his smile carried a moroseness to it.

Xiao Lin could not help but widen his eyes. Even though he did not understand everything that they were talking about, the battle that followed would probably be an intense battle that could never be forgotten by the annals of history.

The battle shook the heavens. Ivanovich’s ability was Creation, and his power of creation was already at the point of perfection. Lava, a raging storm and a torrential flood was constantly surging within that narrow forest.

The other man’s ability seemed to be related to spatial powers, and he had completely negated all of Ivanovich’s creations with that, and the battle suddenly entered a lulled state.

Xiao Lin had thought that the battle would have lasted longer, but after a few minutes, the battle was close to an end.

Ivanovich created wind to float up into the air, and he shouted loudly, “Song! Don’t blame me! Even if it’s you, I won’t give up on my ideals. This will be my last gift to you and this world!”

A rumbling sound started to be heard in the skies. Xiao Lin suddenly raised his head, and his pupils shrank. In the sky, a ma.s.sive meteor was currently plummeting toward the surface at an incredible speed.

“My G.o.d!” Xiao Lin could not help but exclaim, as he remembered the dean telling him before that Ivan’s Creation ability could create meteors toward the end, and now he finally saw the shocking sight with his own eyes.

“Ivan! Have you gone crazy?! Do you really want to destroy the world and betray mankind?” Song’s expression changed as he shouted in anxious anger. It seemed like the meteor exceeded his abilities. After all, the man closest to Ivan was only close, and S-ranks and SS-ranks still had an insurmountable difference between them.

However, very quickly, that man had a decisive expression on his face. He stood facing the meteor, not having any intention of dodging. He raised his hands up high, and in the middle of his hands, a pitch black orb started to condense.
