Chapter 1016 (1/2)

Chapter 1016: Unable to withstand a single blow

At this moment, as he stood within the Shadow Sub-dimension, Perifa was undoubtedly the king of shadows.

Unless someone could break the Shadow Sub-dimension or deprive it of its advantages to him, he would be invincible.

“Come out, damn Thunder Wizard! No matter who you are, you shouldn’t have provoked the City of Exiles!”

Perifa bellowed.

His inner calmness had already recovered from the dangerous lightning strikes, more so than it appeared on the surface.

He had noticed something strange.

He was originally flying towards the Shadow Death Laborers, but now, he found himself deep within the Stone Forest.

Even accounting for the “Shadow Flicker Technique’s” teleportation error, he shouldn’t be more than 40 kilometers away from the Shadow Death Laborers, right?!

Which part of the process had gone wrong?!

Perifa was alarmed and vaguely aware that he had stepped into some kind of meticulously arranged trap.

“No, I need to open a Teleportation Gate quickly and leave…”

While Perifa was shouting for the Thunder Wizard to come out for a fight to the death, he had already decided in his heart to leave.

The Shadow Sub-dimension he had opened was a temporary sub-dimensional plane created by magic, serving both as a sanctuary and as a transfer station for teleportation spells.

With some prep time to connect to the Teleportation Anchor Point in the Upper District of the City of Exiles, Perifa could teleport straight back to the city.

This process would take approximately 10 seconds and could not be disturbed.

He had to use powerful shadow magic to block any potential Thunder Wizard!

“Choking Storm”!

A wide-area shadow spell that unleashes a barrage of “Choking Arrows”!

A single “Choking Arrow” was powerful enough to shred the shield of a Seven-Ring Wizard.

Two “Choking Arrows” could erase the life signs of a Seven-Ring Wizard.

Dead Seven-Ring Wizards would be forcibly transformed into shadow energy and become new “Choking Arrows”!

In the “Choking Storm,” there were a full five thousand of these arrows!

Each one was Level 85, on par with Perifa’s level, and their destructive power and flight speed were enhanced by 100% due to the sub-dimensional bonus!

They formed a majestic black storm around Perifa in the shape of pure black triangular arrowheads, staunchly defending every angle.

Under such circumstances, no enemy could hope to hit Perifa.

Except for Shadow Wizards who also cast shadow spells!

And those recognized by the Shadow Sub-dimension!

A black hand appeared out of nowhere beneath Perifa’s feet, stretching out a black finger five meters long towards him.

“Shadow Grasp”? How is this possible?!”

Perifa panicked, a chill rushing to his head as if witnessing something utterly inconceivable.

It was this split second of hesitancy that broke his painstakingly prepared teleportation spell.

He himself was also firmly caught by the “Shadow Grasp”.

An icy shadow touch, colder than a frigid wind, seeped into Perifa’s body through the skin that came in contact with “Shadow Grasp”.

Perifa’s body trembled violently, struggling with all his might to break free from the grip of “Shadow Grasp”.

But to his despair, he found that although “Shadow Grasp” was a conventional spell, its magical power was Level 100!

The claws were like a cage made of reinforced concrete, firmly entrapping him.

Moreover, this claw seemed to be recognized by the Shadow Sub-dimension.

No matter whether it was the Shadow Sub-dimension or the “Choking Storm” summoned by Perifa using the dimension’s power, neither regarded the claw as a target for attack.

“How could this be…”

Perifa’s expression was blank, his gaze slightly disoriented, staring dumbly at the “Shadow Grasp” that had seized him.

This spell could restrain a target, preventing the use of flight spells and teleportation spells.

But now, the “Shadow Grasp” that was holding Perifa had dense “Shadow Death Ciphers” emerging on it.

Perifa’s eyes suddenly widened, completely stunned.

A short sword radiating a gray glow pierced through the darkness, stabbing at Perifa.
