Chapter 455: The Abandoned Sacred Magus (1/2)
GDK 455: The Abandoned Sacred Magus
Soon enough, Han Shuo caught up with Stratholme the old monster and water divine magus Tiana.
When they arrived at the defensive shield, a mortifying aura shrouded the land. A suffocating pressure pushed down against them.
The three exchanged glances aghast, before Stratholme the old monster exclaimed, “This can’t be good. It has arisen!”
Han Shuo and Tiana both knew who the old monster was referring to. Tiana’s calm, frail face changed and she reached out her hand stick with utmost agility to the region defended by exotic energy. An ice awl sparkling with cold light suddenly materialized in her palm. The dense water element within was menacing. She directed the ice awl towards the space defending this area as it shot out.
Creak!
The ice awl of the water divine magus, seemed to be pricked on the toughest iron and stone in the world. The ice awl shattered into a million pieces!
Their hearts sank in unison. Stratholme the old monster questioned, “Elder sister Tiana, what’s wrong?”
“The energy has been reinforced. I can’t break this defense!” explained Tiana with a trace of panic in her voice. Her face grew ugly.
Stratholme the old monster furrowed his brows. The longsword, which he had carried in his hand all along and never stored in the space ring, began to emit a fighting aura like fireworks, albeit colourless and formless. A dazzling white light flashed.
Stratholme gathered all the remaining energy he had and struck at the defense field.
Clang!
Just as before, his bombardment seemed to have landed on an immovable stone. He pulled back his slightly trembling right arm. In an expression of overwhelming shock, he growled, “I can’t break it either!”
One magic attack and another physical attack, but neither worked!
“That thing got out. He must have reinforced the defense energy! We might not be able to break through it,” Han Shuo said heavily as he looked at the two bewildered demigod-like experts. It was clear to him that the six-horned alien race must have done just that.
Buzz Buzz…
A strange loud buzzing began in the distance. Unlike the previous buzzing that attacked Han Shuo’s and the old monster’s souls, this one came with some peculiar effects. It seemed to be able to rip apart the sky. Fine lines of space ripples appeared in the sky, bright, colorful chasms appeared beneath the cracks in the air.
The old monster Stratholme and Tiana exchanged glances. They simultaneously exhaled breaths of cold air. Gaping at the rifts in the air radiating colourful light, their faces turned an ugly expression.
Stratholme, who had just pulled out a scroll in his hand, turned to Tiana as though he would weep and said, “The fluctuation of the space is too violent. The space magic scroll can’t be deployed at all. This guy has cut off all of our escape routes!”
At this point, even Tiana was at her wit’s end. She shook her head and sighed, “We’re going to die here. Stratholme, this is my fault. I’ve failed you. I never expected to face such a beast!”
The two with their demigod strengths were unable to break through the defense that enclosed this region by means of their own strength. The next best thing they could do to survive was to utilize a space magic scroll, rip apart spacetime and escape through it. However, that shrill caused fissures in space. Within a chaotic space, a space magic scroll was of absolutely no use. There, indeed, seemed to be no hope of escaping.
“My turn!” Han Shuo, who had not said anything but remained calm all along, suddenly spoke.
The reason Han Shuo managed to appear calm all the while was that he still had a few tricks up his sleeves!
The gazes of the two demigod experts immediately landed on Han Shuo’s body. The old monster stared blankly for a while before he asked, “You, you have a way?”
Han Shuo did not answer, but chanted an incantation. The foolish-looking earth elite zombie suddenly appeared. Stratholme the old monster and Tiana both looked at each other with obvious doubt in their eyes. They seemed to have no idea what purpose this low-level zombie warrior could serve at such a moment.
Suddenly, a most astonishing phenomenon occured before their eyes.
When the mindless zombie warrior fell to the ground, its body melted into the earth, much to their surprise. The hard ground seemed to pose no resistance against it and its body rapidly disappeared.
In this world, although an earth magus could utilize the power of the earth, they could only do so for offense or defense. They couldn’t explicitly utilize the energy of the earth to bore through it at will, like the earth elite zombie, the favoured son of the earth, could.
Therefore, when the body of earth elite zombie sank into the ground like quicksand, the divine magus and divine swordmaster both gawked in disbelief at the surreal sight before them and stood dumbfounded.
“Let’s go!” called out Han Shuo, who was already deep inside the underground tunnel.
The two demi-god existences turned from staggered to euphoric. They looked at each other and kept into the tunnel.
“Save… save me!” Just as the three entered the underground tunnel, the wailing of lightning sacred magus Reynold arrived from afar. His voice was riddled with fear.
A choking pressure approached like a strong wind. Han Shuo and the others who had just entered the tunnel understood instantly what was going on – the six-horned alien had emerged. Reynold attempted to flee towards the tunnel, presumably under the pursuit of alien experts.
Han Shuo turned towards Stratholme and Tiana, and found the two with similarly creased brows, maintaining their silence with extreme rapport.
They had given up on Reynold! Han Shuo understood this in his heart.
