Chapter 117: World Teleportation!
“Rain, begin by teleporting the two heroes, Marquis Guren and Natasya, to their designated positions within the troop lineup. Once that’s done, proceed with teleporting our 600,000 troops,” instructed Jim, standing alongside Rain near the cliff’s edge.
“Understood,” replied Rain, her tone indifferent and her face expressionless as ever.
Jim gave a slight nod, shifting his gaze toward Valen, Luna, Guren, and Natasya positioned behind him.
“Spear Hero Valen, Bow Hero Luna, Marquis Guren, and Natasya, please prepare yourselves promptly,” Jim called out, his tone calm. “Rain will teleport you into the troop lineup first, followed by a mass teleportation of all our troops to the designated 3000-kilometer area,” he continued, offering a slight salute.
Upon hearing Jim’s words, Valen, Luna, Guren, and Natasya nodded in unison.
“I’m ready,” Luna replied calmly and nonchalantly.
“Same here.” Valen stepped closer to Luna, a faint smile gracing his lips as he glanced at Jim.
“I’m prepared,” Guren stated coolly, his earlier annoyance from Valen’s teasing still evident on his face.
“Ready, Jim,” Natasya replied gracefully, giving a subtle nod in his direction.
Noticing that everyone was ready, Jim turned back to Rain beside him. “You can start, Rain,” he said.
Rain nodded and raised one hand slightly upward.
“Teleportation magic!” she intoned her magical incantation with a nonchalant tone.
*Buzz!*
Suddenly, an intricate blue magic circle appeared under Valen, Luna, Guren, and Natasya’s feet, swirling and emitting a bright blue light.
The light instantly illuminated them, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished from their positions, reappearing a kilometer away where 600,000 troops stood neatly lined up.
After their teleportation, they quickly mounted the prepared horses, awaiting Rain’s spell to teleport the entire troops to a location 3000 kilometers away from the Imperial Capital.
From atop the cliff, Jim, having observed the four in their positions through a magic spyglass, swiftly directed his gaze towards Rain beside him.
“Rain, you can begin,” Jim instructed with a light tone as he took a few steps back.
In response, Rain nodded and drew a small breath.
With a momentary closure of her eyes, she opened her palms, and suddenly, a long, beautiful black magic staff materialized in her right hand.
At first glance, the staff appeared ordinary, but any experienced mage would likely tremble in fear upon seeing it.
The magic staff, known as the “Magic Staff of Calamity,” was an ancient artifact said to have been wielded by an extraordinarily powerful and mysterious Great Mage from 7,000 years ago, during the era of the first heroes and the Demon Emperor Amon.
According to scant historical records from the era, for 7,000 years following the demise of the enigmatic Great Mage, not a single mage emerged capable of wielding or earning recognition from the staff. This resulted in the magic staff being stored in the Imperial Palace’s armory during that time.
In the end, Rain, possessing the most extraordinary magical talent in the past seven thousand years of mankind’s history, was born, becoming the sole individual capable of earning recognition from the magic staff.
Behind Rain, Jim caught sight of the Magic Staff of Calamity in her hand, prompting a slight smile to grace his lips.
“It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen Rain wield the Magic Staff of Calamity,” Jim remarked with a chuckle, casting an intrigued glance towards Rain.
Meanwhile, Rain, already gripping the Magic Staff of Calamity, slowly opened her indifferent, calm eyes.
Sensing the potent energy coursing through the magic staff clenched in her hand, Rain’s expression remained as stoic as ever, unaffected by its power.
With her eyes fixed on the massed troops gathered a kilometer away, Rain lifted the Magic Staff of Calamity skyward and uttered softly, “Activate the teleportation magic formation.”
*Buzz!*
As Rain activated the teleportation formation, an immense blue magic circle materialized beneath the feet of the 600,000 troops, bathing them in a radiant blue light.
The troops, overwhelmed by the spectacle, couldn’t suppress their astonishment.
“Is this the magic of Great Mage Rain? It’s extraordinary!”
“Absolutely! Great Mage Rain’s prowess knows no equal in crafting such a formidable teleportation circle!”
“With her magic, our empire knows no bounds!”
The entire troop erupted into a frenzy of excitement and admiration for Rain’s magic, especially the mage troops, who were awestruck by her mastery.
Rain’s legendary prowess reverberated throughout the Holy Empire of Elysium and extended to the distant reaches of the Holy Orthodox region, evoking profound reverence from mages far and wide.
As Valen, Luna, and Guren beheld the expanding magic circle below, enveloping them, they couldn’t suppress their wonder and astonishment.
Only Natasya maintained a composed countenance, yet her concealed admiration for Rain lingered beneath the facade of indifference.
Atop the cliff, Rain wasted no time upon spotting the magic array.
With her magic staff raised high and her right foot stepping back, Rain concentrated all the mana within her body into the tightly gripped staff.
As a result, the Magic Staff of Calamity, previously emitting only a faint white glow, began to radiate with increasing brightness.
Sensing the opportune moment, Rain directed the staff’s tip towards the amassed troops.
With an expression of unwavering determination, she called out in a slightly stern tone, “High-level Teleportation Magic: World Teleportation!”
*Whoosh!!*
Abruptly, a colossal magic circle materialized in the sky above Valen, Luna, Guren, Natasya, and the troops, matching the vastness of the circle below and spanning across the expanse above them.
The abrupt appearance of a colossal magic circle in the sky startled the entire troop once again.
However, before they could recover from their shock, the magic circle below them suddenly illuminated brightly, seemingly synchronized with the appearance of the circle above the sky, promptly enveloping the entire troop in a blue light.
Shortly thereafter, the 600,000 troops vanished from their positions, disappearing along with the two colossal magic circles—one in the sky and one on the ground.
Observing the entire process attentively, Jim drew in a deep breath and cast an appreciative gaze towards Rain, who stood near the cliff.
‘To teleport 600,000 troops, a task that typically requires the effort of thousands of high-level mages, and yet she accomplishes it alone. Rain, this woman is a true monster,’ Jim muttered to himself, a faint smile gracing his lips.
Despite being well aware of Rain’s exceptional abilities, Jim found himself continually amazed every time he witnessed her abilities.
Today, watching her effortlessly teleport an entire troop in an instant only solidified Rain’s rightful claim to the title of the most talented mage humanity has seen in the past 7,000 years.
With a slight chuckle, Jim strolled leisurely over to Rain, offering his compliments: “Rain, you’re truly remarkable. His Majesty the Emperor will undoubtedly reward you handsomely for your accomplishments this time.”
Upon hearing Jim’s words, Rain gradually emerged from the trance of her magic, lowering the Magic Staff of Calamity in her hand.
With her usual expressionless demeanor, Rain glanced at Jim and gently shook her head.
“I’m not concerned about rewards or such,” she replied casually.
Jim chuckled at her response, giving her a playful glance.
“Even if you’re not interested, they’ll still come your way,” Jim quipped with a smile.
Rain merely shook her head slightly, offering no further comment.
Her gaze drifted toward the direction where the troops had gathered earlier, her expression remaining indifferent.
“By the way, have you confirmed the teleportation coordinates?” Jim swiftly changed the subject, asking in a casual manner.
“Of course,” Rain responded with a nod, continuing, “The location they’ve been teleported to is a grassland 3000 kilometers away from the capital. It’s also the outermost limit for teleportation, thanks to the magic field of the Desert of Chaos, which prevents teleportation from outside to inside,” she explained in detail.
“Good! Then the entire war plan will proceed as planned,” Jim responded, his tone filled with satisfaction as the uneasiness in his heart about teleporting the troops vanished in an instant.
Taking a slight breath, Jim regarded Rain with a gentle gaze before continuing, “Alright, Rain, I entrust the security and success of our battlefield plans to you and Natasya.”
“Ensure that we can overcome the Demon Race on the battlefield and secure victory for our Empire. I’ll manage affairs within the Empire, and if you require assistance or encounter any unforeseen circumstances outside our plan, don’t hesitate to contact me immediately. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Jim, I understand. You can count on me.” Rain replied nonchalantly, though her voice resonated with confidence.
“Excellent!” Jim responded, offering Rain a satisfied smile.
They then proceeded to engage in small talk, discussing various aspects related to their plans for the battlefield.
After concluding their conversation, Rain teleported away, leaving Jim alone at his location.
As he absorbed the serene scene around him, with only a gentle breeze rustling the leaves and his black kimono robe swaying softly, Jim’s expression remained unchanged.
With his customary calm demeanor, he ambled a bit closer to the cliff’s edge, taking in the panoramic view of the lush trees below.
His gaze drifted to the spot where the troops had gathered earlier, now eerily silent and devoid of any signs of life.
After a moment of contemplation, Jim redirected his gaze, and a subtle, yet distinct, smile graced his lips.
“At long last, after 7,000 years, the demon race will crumble in the palm of my hand…”
