A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 442 Exposed

"Go to hell!"

No sooner had Jiang Shuzhou finished speaking than Grace, as if she couldn't wait, swung her sword and charged towards Jiang Shuzhou.

As expected, Jiang Shuzhou also suffered a barrage of magical attacks.

The power to destroy the heavens and the earth, to directly destroy cities and create deserts, seemed unreal to Jiang Shuzhou, whether it landed on the ground or not, without the slightest ripple.

This place is, after all, a microcosm of the entire world, and naturally, it is relatively hard, which is why Jiang Shuzhou chose it as the battleground.

"It seems your attack wasn't very effective."

Having dodged Grace's close-range attack, Jiang Shuzhou exerted force and floated into the air.

"Now it's my turn. I'll show you what the world looks like when it's destroyed."

"Smack."

With a snap of her fingers, a rain of fire began to fall from the sky, countless colorful fireballs raining down and crashing straight at Grace.

Grace's eyes narrowed. These fireballs were filled with twisted power, and not only that, but also the power of dreams, and even order.

This is a fireball formed by the combination of countless laws. Once hit, it is very difficult to clear away the residual laws and recover from the injury in a short period of time.

Therefore, it was only natural that Grace did not choose to confront them head-on.

Grace wielded her blade with graceful movements, as if dancing in the rain, dodging the fireballs while also casting spells to occasionally deflect some of them.

At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou noticed that Grace's staff was operating at full capacity, clearly being held back for a long time.

However, Jiang Shuzhou ignored him and simply continued the spell.

Soon, just as Jiang Shuzhou had expected, a golden blade of light pierced through countless falling fireballs, cleaving them in two, and then flew straight toward Jiang Shuzhou at high speed.

Jiang Shuzhou suddenly dodged, intending to dodge, but the light blade seemed to have eyes, abruptly changing direction and flying towards Jiang Shuzhou.

It possesses the power of order, ensuring its accuracy.

There's no way to avoid it; you can only tough it out.

It has to be said, he truly lives up to his reputation as a legendary mage. To be able to create something like this in just five years is quite impressive.

It's important to understand that being the master of a dream is inherently difficult to track, and the fact that Grace was able to create this is quite remarkable in itself.

As the light blade was about to strike, Jiang Shuzhou immediately used magic to try and block it with a shield.

Unexpectedly, the light blade immediately became ethereal and then slashed directly at Jiang Shuzhou's body.

With a soft "plop," Jiang Shuzhou suffered considerable injury.

However, that's not enough.

"You're very good."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

His condition was then revealed to Grace.

A deep gash was cleaved through his chest, revealing bone, and one could even vaguely see his beating heart.

For a deity, damage to their divine body is certainly not a good thing.

"Just you wait, you'll die sooner or later."

"When I kill you, your offense against my master will become my torture!"

At such a young age, how can you be so full of bitterness and hatred, and enjoy tormenting people so much? You have such a strong sense of violence.

Jiang Shuzhou was not satisfied with this.

It seems this kid needs a little lesson, otherwise she thinks a mere spell can do anything to me.

Your magic is indeed very powerful, but it's still not enough for me.

The skin and flesh are recovering quickly, although the newly formed parts will be weaker, but that doesn't matter.

"It's time for you to learn respect."

As he spoke, a giant sword appeared in Jiang Shuzhou's hand. He maintained the casting of the spell on one side, and countless fireballs fell, rushing directly towards Grace.

Grace couldn't have asked for this.

The two were about to engage in a tense and exciting hand-to-hand combat.

Otherwise, with Jiang Shuzhou remaining in the sky and maintaining this spell, Grace wouldn't even know how to get close.

"Clang clang clang".

The clash of their weapons produced a series of metallic clangs, and the resulting shockwaves were terrifying. If there were any high-level superhumans nearby, they would be killed instantly by the aftershocks of the battle, without even a chance to fight back.

And so, a new round of confrontation began between the two sides.

However, this time, Jiang Shuzhou emerged victorious.

"clang!"

The weapons clashed again, but this time, Grace was clearly exhausted, and her hands were trembling slightly.

She also wanted to unleash magic to aid in the battle.

Unfortunately, to the other mage, Grace's so-called silent casting was as bright and dazzling as the moon in the night sky.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Shuzhou exerted force suddenly, causing Grace to make a mistake, her weapon fell, and she was left wide open.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't hold back either, thrusting his sword straight at Grace's heart without any intention of holding back.

With a soft thud, Grace's body was pierced through, her heart shattered, and she was on the verge of death.

Is this the end?

Grace looked sad. She really wanted to see her master one more time, but now, there was only an imposter here.

Perhaps, this is the end.

However, it's obvious that she won't die.

When Grace was dying, the ring on her ring finger came into play.

Time was reversed, her injuries were healed, and Grace came back to life.

However, it is only natural that all the power came from Jiang Shuzhou.

"How is that possible?"

When Grace was resurrected, her eyes were filled with astonishment.

She never expected that her master's work would actually have an effect.

She always believed that the so-called resurrection was actually using the power of the dream master to turn back time.

However, given her current hostility towards the Dream Master, she shouldn't be able to be resurrected, so why...?

"clang!"

Without time to think, Jiang Shuzhou thrust his greatsword straight at Grace, seemingly intending to kill her again.

Perhaps, I can exchange injury for injury.

Grace thought so.

She has found all the rules for victory.

As long as they keep trading injuries, that's fine. Grace has ten lives, but the Dreamer only has one.

And so, the battle between Jiang Shuzhou and Grace became bizarre.

Grace abandoned her defense, determined to inflict damage on Jiang Shuzhou even at the cost of her life; it was a desperate attempt to trade her life for his, to exchange her injuries for his.

Jiang Shuzhou could only feel that people's hearts had changed.

In His plan, Grace should have been engaged in a protracted battle with him, not this mad, cruel, and mutually torturous one.

But it doesn't matter, everything is going according to plan anyway.

However, accidents can happen, especially when you let your guard down.

Jiang Shuzhou was already quite relaxed, since he was going to hold back, so he naturally couldn't be too serious. As for getting injured, so be it; he was going to die anyway, and he was going to be reborn from the ashes.

The body doesn't matter; death is merely the beginning of a new life.

With this in mind, Jiang Shuzhou became somewhat casual about his taxi ride.

This led to a situation where, when Jiang Shuzhou was seriously injured and on the verge of death, just as Grace was about to deliver the final blow,...

He forgot to conceal the fluctuations of his soul.

This caused Grace to stop what she was doing immediately.

"How could this be? This is impossible!"

"How could you possibly be my master? Navis! Tell me, who are you really?!"

Oh no, it seems Grace has found out.

"Um, if I said now that my soul fluctuations just now were fake, would you believe me?"
