Chapter 956 (1/2)
Chapter 956: 297. “Teammate” pranking_3
After a short meditation, the second match began.
This time, Lonco’s opponent was a Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage, an external reinforcement invited by the Pangula Family.
Before entering the arena, this Metal Series Wizard had increased his resistance to sea water corrosion and Water Clan energy to 99%.
He also raised his resistance to the damage from Fire energy, Kinetic Energy, and Wind energy to 99%, based on the past battle records of the Deep Sea Branch.
The only oversight was the damage from Thunder and Lightning Energy.
In the sea water, the uncontrollable nature of Thunder and Lightning Energy was well-known.
Lonco himself was not a Saint Level Thunder Wizard and it was impossible for him to manipulate the Thunder and Lightning Energy in the water to his disadvantage.
This major judgment error caused the Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage to fall into a disadvantageous position as soon as the battle commenced.
Lonco activated a Magic Scroll he had bought from Noland Lee.
He tore the Scroll open, facing it towards the Heavens, casting a brilliant azure Light Column.
A Dark Cloud appeared above Lonco’s The Head, with faint flashes of lightning rippling within.
The moment the Thundercloud, containing 100 million points of Thunder and Lightning Energy, appeared, the Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage hurriedly changed the resistance of his Magic Metal Armor.
It took about five seconds to change the resistance, which wasn’t instantaneous.
The delayed response of the “Thundercloud Technique” saved the life of the Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage.
Metal spikes densely appeared on the surface of his Magic metal, rippling like waves.
A faint azure Radiance flashed on the metal surface, indicating the resistance adjustment was complete.
After that, almost three more seconds passed before the Thundercloud fired the first bolt of lightning, striking at the Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage whizzing through the air.
“Crack!”
The aim of the lightning was slightly off.
It missed the Metal Series Wizard by inches, with the speed of a gale, and struck the Floating Isle below, scattering a large sheet of electric light.
The Metal Series Wizard broke out in a cold sweat.
With 99% resistance to lightning, the damage caused by the lightning was secondary; the induced “shudder” was the most lethal aspect.
If he had been struck by the lightning just now, he would have certainly convulsed, stayed in place, and his flight speed would have drastically dropped.
The Water tornado following him would immediately catch up, ensnare him, and drag him to the Seabed.
At that point, he was eighty to ninety percent certain to lose the match due to falling into the water.
The current situation was still quite alright, though.
That Lonco seemed to be having quite a bit of trouble when controlling the Thundercloud to fire lightning.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
Several bolts of lightning chased after the Metal Series Wizard but missed him by a few meters, never quite hitting the target.
This scene was driving Lonco mad!
He was multitasking, controlling both the Thundercloud and the Water tornado.
As the Water tornado was large and moved slowly,
Lonco had previously tried a variety of Deep Sea Spells but failed to stop the swiftly flying opponent.
