Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 256 Mystra’s Gaze

The outer plane - [Ultimate Bliss], in the Kingdom of God [Heart of Spells].

In the endless brilliance, a blue-white planet is rising and falling in the void. There is a huge temple on the planet. The petitioners transformed from the souls of countless believers worship the supreme in the temple day and night. Beauty exists.

Mystra was sitting on top of the temple. Her body was plump and enchanting, and her face was beautiful and sexy. The frown she had been frowning for these days finally relaxed slightly. She knew that the time was up.

"Come, Io, let me meet my destiny in ignorance."

A burst of shining light appeared from the horizon of the Kingdom of God. The power was supreme and great, covering Mystra with absolute power. The petitioners on the blue-white planet seemed not to see the scene in front of them, and were still praying devoutly. Pray to the gods.

After a long time, the light disappeared and everything returned to calm. Mystra on the throne opened her eyes. No one knew what had happened here, including Mystra herself.
-
The port area in Waterdeep City was currently in the midst of a storm. Due to Imrik's reckless actions, many representatives of forces expressed their concerns to Kelben about the possible intervention of the Church of Bane.

Kelben smiled helplessly. He comforted these people and assured them that the power invested by the Bane Church would not escalate and the scale of the war would not escalate.

"You are really causing me a lot of trouble, Elminster."

After Kelben sent away the priest of the goddess Wojin who came to inquire, he sat on the recliner and sighed. The naughty old man always said some mysterious things, but did not tell you the reasons behind it.

"Support Imrik Thor's expansion. This is the will of the goddess. The Church of Bane must be attacked. I will contain all the high-level spellcasters of the Zhentarim and the Church of Bane. Old man, you must do it. This, otherwise the goddess will fall into endless wrath.”

Kelben thought of last summer, that midsummer night when the lotus flowers were in bloom. Elminster suddenly appeared from the portal without any contact. He only solemnly informed him of this hasty decision and then disappeared.

He could feel the smoke on Elminster's body at that time, which was the traces of blood and fire.Elminster's eyes were complex as he had never seen before, seeming to be filled with hesitation and relief.

Kelben shook his head and took out a necklace from the drawer with the holy symbol of Mystra on it. The necklace did not have any magic aura, but Elminster told him that it must be done in the cold winter month of 1358. , the day of the 26th was given to Imrik.

It's today.

He held the necklace in his hand, and the magic wrapped around his body, sending him to the magic crystal tower in the distance. He needed to give the necklace to Imric.

Imric was quite surprised by Kelben's arrival. When he received Kelbourne's necklace and learned that it was a reward given to him by the Church of the Goddess of Magic, he was quite surprised and even felt a little panic in his heart.

"Why? Did the goddess notice me? Has he noticed my ability to create magic webs?" Imrik took the necklace and asked frantically about the broken magic crystal in his mind.

"You probably haven't noticed, otherwise you might have been caught by the goddess [Heart of Spells] and interrogated. Gods are extremely paranoid about the priesthood. Unless she is going to die tomorrow, she may not have the leisure and elegance to go there. It's hard for you." Magic Crystal Shard said playfully, trying to comfort Imric.

Imrik's brain was running rapidly, trying to recall why he was noticed by the goddess and given a necklace. Although he could not see any magic aura on the necklace, it was just a decoration, but as a symbol of the goddess of magic's gift , it is also an extremely precious existence for many mages.

Even if Imrik went out to show off with this necklace, I am afraid that no other mage would dare to embarrass him except those chaotic and evil mages.

"Put it on, it's a gift from the goddess." Kelben said with a smile.

Imrik brought the necklace to his neck and found that it was really a useless ornament, which made him a little disappointed.Seeing that the mission was completed, Kelben didn't chat much with Imrik. He still had many things to deal with. There had been many disappearances in the city recently, which made him quite troubled. He had a hunch that this was related to some evil gods. related to the church.

After Kelben disappeared, Imrik shook his head and picked up the necklace again to look at it. Under the silver metal chain was a blue holy emblem, and a blue-white planet was suspended in the center of the holy emblem. The symbol of Mystra.

"Master, the two mercenaries you hired used the mirror to call you again." The voice of the broken magic crystal came at this time.

Imrik raised his eyebrows, put down his necklace and came to the Mirror of Prophecy. Through the power of the mirror, he saw the situation on the other side, and could not help but whispered with interest: "Interesting, how to get to Hellast?" That madman’s territory.”

He raised his hand and touched the Mirror of Prophecy lightly. The surface of the human-height mirror instantly flowed like water, and the ripples formed a vortex, opening a passage for descent in front of Imrik.

On the other side of the whirlpool of the silver mirror, Kelanvor was facing despair. The half-human, half-insect female mage who suddenly appeared was extremely powerful. She instantly killed the most powerful green hag in one encounter. Kelanvor took out the silver mirror and made a desperate move. They began to chant spells, hoping that the mysterious mage could save them. "Interesting, is this a conjuration spell? Well, no, no, no, it seems to be a prophecy spell. It's really wonderful." Arcturia did not interrupt the spellcasting of the human warrior in front of her, but instead studied the flow of light with great interest. silver mirror.

The vortex of the silver mirror is getting bigger and bigger, and the outline of a figure is slowly appearing.Arcturia frowned, a prophecy spell that can call other beings?In order to prevent accidents, she decided to interrupt the human warrior's spellcasting.

The second-level necromantic spell——[Heat-eating Leechworm]!
Arcturia activated her spell-like abilities. As a powerful mage who had been transformed, she possessed various spell-like abilities given by her teacher Halaster Blackrobe.

Countless insects with wings and leech-like bodies flew towards Kelanvor. They pounced on Kelanvor, greedily sucking the heat from the strong warrior's body. Kelanvor gritted his teeth, despite the massive loss of heat from his body. It made him feel numb from the cold and his head was dizzy, but he still insisted on finishing the spell.

The vortex finally reached a certain point, and a silver-haired man walked out of it. Arcturia's eyes were wary. The man in front of her was wearing an archmage's robe. It was obvious that he was not a simple guy.

"Good day, Miss Insect Mage." Imrik greeted with a smile, as if he was a little unsure of how to address the strange freak in front of him.

Arcturia's face was gloomy, and anger was burning in her heart. What she hated most was that others laughed at her appearance. It is true that this appearance was caused by her mentor Helaster, whom she was obsessed with, but she was disgraced because of this appearance. Falling into low self-esteem and fear of being disliked by the mentor.The man in front of her satirized her so lightly, which touched Arcturia's skin.

"Who are you?" Arcturia said coldly, her expression no longer the same joy as before.

Imrik raised his hand and lifted the curse on Kelanvor. He looked back and looked around. Instead of answering Arcturia's question, he said: "The Shadow Druid gave the magical beasts they collected to you?"

A glimmer of understanding flashed in Arcturia's eyes, and she seemed to confirm the identity of the other party: "Oh? You also came to the teacher to make a deal? That's embarrassing, the teacher is very satisfied with the works of those druids, no need You half-hearted people are here to sell your products.”

Imrik's eyes flashed, teacher?The female mage in front of me is undoubtedly a powerful female mage. Even if she has not reached the level of legend, she still has a very high mage level and can be called a mage by the other party. Who else is there underground, that madman Hellast?
It seems that there is a deal between the Shadow Druid and Hellast, so no wonder those magical beasts were brought here.Thinking of Hellast's hobby of collecting various monsters and placing them in Leyline Labyrinth, Imric had a guess in his mind.

"It's not the time yet." Imric made a judgment in his mind. He did not intend to challenge Hellaster's authority now, especially in the other party's lair. Hellaster has been running this place for thousands of years, and countless monsters. There are countless magic traps and countless defense methods, not to mention that Kelben once told him that Halaster had set up a barrier magic comparable to [Mystery Lock] deep underground.

Even the drow, the true overlords on the surface of the Underdark, dare not start a war with Halaster. A legendary mage who has survived for hundreds of thousands of years, his background is simply terrifying.

He looked at the female mage in front of him. Maybe he could capture her first and learn some of Halaster's seductive secrets.

He raised his fingers slightly, and magic power quickly bred in his fingertips. Just when he was about to cast the spell, something unexpected happened.

"Yangyan Ray!"

A female voice chanted a spell, and as the powerful spell was completed, an extremely dazzling golden light turned into a ray, which instantly hit Arcturia.

"boom!"

The spell caused a violent explosion, and golden flames burned on Arcturia's body surface.The half-human, half-insect female mage wailed loudly, and she quickly cast a spell to extinguish the flames on her body.

The water flow appeared from the top of the female mage's head, extinguishing the flames on her body, but the sacred positive energy was still burning her body. Thanks to the powerful spell resistance of this modified body, she was not destroyed by this powerful seven A sneak attack by a ring spell causes serious injuries.

But it wasn't over yet. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, golden rays shot out from the darkness one after another.

"Damn."

Arcturia quickly activated her magic ring, and a [Fire Shield] and [Higher Resistance to Energy Damage] appeared on her body surface, completely catching the [Sun Ray] spell.

"Who! How dare you attack me!" Arcturia yelled angrily.

As she roared, a voluptuous red-haired figure walked out of the darkness. It was one of Halast's former disciples and the former preaching mage-Jesira Kestel Harp.
