Chapter 873: Chapter 412 Supernova Burst, Ransacking the Polar Star Association_2

[Using this item, you can designate nearby objects to capture images and use the device to generate identical illusions.]

[The number of illusions that can be generated is inversely proportional to the size of the original images, remaining uses 1/3.]

[Looking at the refined copper device in your hand, you understand that the ’Star Spirit’ had used this very device to create the false impression that the secret chamber housed a large amount of spirituality.]

[You put away the ’Image Replication Device’ and leave the office...]

[What’s your next move?]

[...]

At this time the Star Realm Envoys and the three Star Spirits were not at home. After killing the remaining Star Spirit in the division, no one else could pose a threat to him.

Lin Xun squinted his eyes, having already hatched a plan in his heart.

[...]

[You walk to the first-floor lobby, only to see the female Star Mage cowering in the corner of the reception desk, her face streaked with tears, visibly terrified...]

[Upon seeing you, seemingly resurrected from the dead, she screams in fright, pointing at you with trembling fingers, "You, you’re supposed to be dead?"]

[You fly into a rage, stride forward, and deliver a heavy slap across her face, shouting loudly, "Who’s dead? Is she in such a hurry to curse your death?"]

[The female Star Mage stammers, unable to utter a word...]

[You can’t help but sneer, wondering if she just got too comfortable and started having illusions.]

[Now you have important news to announce – she must gather everyone in the division at the fastest speed, all inside the Transplant Room...]

[Finally, the female Star Mage snaps back to reality and limps off to assemble the others.]

[...]

[You return to the Transplant Room on the second floor to wait, and before long, members of the Polar Star Association file in one by one.]

[Seeing your stern and heavy expression, they also don’t dare to ask, silently standing aside, waiting for you to announce the major news.]

[At last, the female Star Mage returns to the Transplant Room, reporting to you with respect that all the members of the division have assembled here.]

[You lock the main door of the Transplant Room and then announce to the gathered crowd that you have recently been researching stealthily, improving a brand new Star Magic skill, not only immensely powerful but also with a considerably low learning threshold.]

[You’re now ready to teach them this magic, and no questions asked. You will demonstrate it only once, and how much they comprehend will entirely depend on their own talent.]

[As soon as you say this, the Star Mages below start abuzz with discussions, their faces fill with surprise and disbelief that the high and mighty ’Star Spirit’ would personally teach them magic.]

[They can’t miss such a rare opportunity. If they fail to learn your new magic, won’t they regret it for the rest of their lives?]

[Their eyes wide open and their ears pricked up, they wait for you to demonstrate the magic, not wanting to miss even the slightest detail.]

[You raise the ’Up-Looking Star Wand’ high, chanting a complex and profound incantation...]

[Specks of starlight gather around you, and the swirling stars around you grow progressively dazzling and blinding, making it impossible for anyone to clearly see your figure.]

[The Star Mages are pained by the piercing starlight, their eyes watering and turning bloodshot red, yet they dare not close their eyes for fear of missing any detail.]

[...]

[Eventually, as the recitation of the spell reaches the final phase, the entire Transplant Room is filled with dazzling starlight, obscuring all sight.]

[Shining starlight converges at one point, forming an incredibly brilliant star!]

[Suddenly, someone cries out in delight, realizing what it is – ’Supernova Burst’, the ultimate secret of high-level Star Magic!]

[...]

[The Lord has actually improved ’Supernova Burst’ and is even going to teach it to them. This is so touching.]

[...]

[Lord! Your subordinate will certainly remember your grace...]

[Many Star Mages below marvel at the immense power of the magic, merely the sound of the incantation is enough to instill fear in their hearts.]

[Others are moved to tears, claiming they will carry out their duties diligently to repay your kindness.]

[Still, more are furrowing their brows, trying to understand the deep and abstruse magic from the demonstration, but no matter how hard they ponder, they just can’t grasp the essence of this modified ’Easy-to-Learn’ version of the spell.]

[They think it’s because they are too foolish, that their talents are too inadequate...]

[At this point, the incantation should be coming to an end, and the ’Star Spirit’ ought to stop the chant and dispel the magic, explaining the key elements to them... but the ’Star Spirit’ continues the incantation.]

[Finally, someone realizes something is wrong, their face filled with terror, they hurriedly turn and run towards the door...]

[Just then, the last syllable of the incantation falls...]

[When a star of eternity reaches the end of its life, it releases an unimaginable destructive force!]

[Destructive starlight fills the entire Transplant Room, and numerous Star Mages are instantly vaporized and killed!]

[Under your control, the destructive force of the ’Supernova Burst’ doesn’t spread outwards, but instead focuses and explodes within the Transplant Room...]

[You have defeated ’Up-Looking Polar Star Association Star Knowers’, experience points slightly increased!]

[You have defeated ’Up-Looking Polar Star Association Star Chanters’...]

[You have defeated ’Up-Looking...]

[...]

A dense flurry of kill notifications spammed the screen as Lin Xun cast a spell that wiped out all the minions in the entire Polar Star Association branch.

"Using a Mage to harvest is really time-saving..."

As a deserving ’Star Spirit Envoy’ at the Semi-God Realm, Star Mages of this level could instantly cast most spells, except for the ultimate moves that required long chant and power accumulation times.

Among the skills in the Star Spirit Envoy’s skill tab, only the ultimate move named ’Supernova Burst’ couldn’t be instant cast and required a longer casting time, all other skills could be used instantly.

After clearing out the minions, there was no longer half a monster left in the branch building besides him.

Lin Xun controlled Shell to return to the fourth floor of the building and came to the office area of the other three ’Star Spirit Envoys’.

"Now I can force the door without worrying about making too much noise."

Lin Xun prepared to take advantage of the absence of his colleagues and leaders to plunder their lairs completely!

[...]

[You arrive at the office door of a ’Star Spirit Envoy’, the door is tightly closed and protected by Defense Magic Arrays surrounding it.]

[Do you want to forcefully break the Defense Magic Array and open the office door?]

Lin Xun smiled faintly and immediately pressed the ’yes’ option.

[Lifting the Magic Wand high, you cast ’Supernova Burst’ again...] 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

[...]

[As the destructive light of the stars burst forth, the Defense Magic Array rippled in layers, unable to withstand such formidable power, and exploded with a loud bang!]

[You step over the shattered door panels and enter the office...]

[You begin to search for valuable items...]

[Searching...]

[...]

[You find a scroll in a wall cabinet!]

[You have obtained a ’Scroll of Star Magic Skills’ (Legendary Grade Item)!]

[Searching...]

[You discover a book in a hidden compartment of the desk!]

[You have obtained a ’Book Containing a Large Amount of Knowledge’ (Item)]

[...]

Lin Xun forcefully broke the defensive arrays of three offices, looting all the useful items inside.

He obtained three skill scrolls in total, all Legendary Grade magic skills, and seven books that could significantly increase his Knowledge.

Among the spoils was also a peculiar elixir.

[’Elixir of Star Sea Origin’ (Item): ...Upon consuming this elixir, casting any Star Magic Skills not exceeding Mythical+ Level won’t consume spiritual power for a short time.]

Lin Xun stored the loot, feeling thoroughly pleased with the act of scavenging the spoils.

"Next up, it’s the grand finale—time for the ’Star Realm Envoys’!"

[You leave the corridor and start ascending the stairs towards the top floor of the building.]

[Upon reaching the top level, you are halted at the entrance of the corridor by a Defense Magic Array, preventing any further progress...]

Lin Xun smiled faintly and repeated his earlier tactic, launching another powerful spell.

[...]

[As the destructive light of the stars burst forth, the Defense Magic Array rippled in layers but managed to hold against the formidable magic power, continuing to bar your way.]

[You feel a strange force emanating from the void, sustaining the protective barrier of the Magic Array.]

[This power is very familiar to you; it’s the reserve energy of the ’Star Destruction Magic Array’.]

[The Defense Magic Array here is connected to the ’Star Destruction Magic Array’, and you can’t forcefully break through unless the Magic Array’s reserve energy is exhausted.]

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow and opened his inventory to check the ’Star Destruction Ring’.

The item description showed that the Magic Array’s reserve energy decreased from 97 to 92.

He knew this was likely another trap set by the Underworld Game.
