Chapter 157 A Perilous Battle!
Zagnat possesses a number of troublesome characteristics, making him undoubtedly more difficult to deal with than other floor masters of the same level.
Lin Yu would rather deal with the 27th floor master, Anfisbina, than face Zagnat.
However, at this moment, even if he didn't want to face it, he had to go. Zagnat was created in the dungeon in an emergency specifically to kill Lin Yu, so it would definitely be a fight to the death.
Lin Yu took out the mana potion he had exchanged from the main god, drank it, and within seconds his mana was mostly restored.
Although the effect was very good, each bite cost hundreds of reward points, but there was no other way. Facing Zagnat, there was obviously no room for maneuver.
After emerging from the crack, Zagnat moved its not-so-large body and slowly walked towards Lin Yu, seemingly trying to overwhelm him with its aura.
Lin Yu naturally wouldn't tolerate it. He took out his mithril wand and immediately unleashed a killing spell. A pure white beam of light instantly formed in the air and shot towards Zagnat at lightning speed.
Zagnat sensed that the attack was magical, and a mocking expression appeared on its face. It neither dodged nor avoided, but instead met the beam of light head-on with its chest.
The next second, the beam struck Zagnat's chest, instantly splattering blood and flesh, and Zagnat let out a painful scream.
[Heh, do you still dare to be so arrogant!]
Seeing the miserable state of this arrogant monster, Lin Yu felt a sense of satisfaction. Who told this monster to look down on him earlier and dare to not dodge or evade the attack?
Of course, this monster was indeed capable. When Lin Yu used his full power to unleash a killing spell, most monsters of the same level would be instantly killed, but this monster was only injured, not seriously. Its magical defense capabilities were quite astonishing.
Lin Yu even suspected that if the killing magic itself didn't have the characteristic of breaking magic, the monster might be immune to its power based solely on the killing magic's own strength.
With such a level of magical defense, it's no wonder this monster disdains magic.
Injured by the murderous magic, Zagnat roared and charged directly at Lin Yu, reaching him in an instant. With a swipe of its claws, it slashed down at Lin Yu's head.
[Wow, that's fast!]
The monster rushed towards him, and only when Lin Yu saw the sharp claws gleaming in the cold light did he react. He instantly activated his gene lock, stretched out his right hand, and golden light condensed on his palm to meet the claws.
Zagnat's claws descended, first encountering a layer of white light, which was instantly shattered. Then, the light condensed into a palm-sized golden radiance. This time, Zagnat's claws were blocked, but in the next instant, Zagnat's other claw lashed out at Lin Yu, sending him flying.
Lin Yu, who had just flown out, immediately used flight magic to stop in mid-air and then ascend.
[Feel the firepower!]
With a flick of the mithril wand, several beams of light appeared simultaneously and fired a volley at Zagnat. Zagnat moved quickly to dodge the beam attack.
However, although it was fast, it was not faster than the attack speed of the light cannon, and it was inevitably hit by a light cannon, leaving another wound on its body.
[Sorry, but who told you you can't fly?]
Although Zagnat is very powerful, it can't fly and becomes a target. Although the killing magic doesn't deal much damage, you can kill it by shooting it a few times.
Lin Yu was clearly celebrating too soon. After being injured by the second beam of light, Zagnat's eyes glowed red, and he suddenly leaped into the air and crashed into Lin Yu!
[not good!]
Lin Yu's expression changed drastically. The environment on the 27th floor was somewhat unfavorable. Lin Yu could only fly a few dozen meters high at most, and any higher would be the top. Zagnat could obviously jump that distance.
Moreover, Lin Yu is not as agile in the air as he is on the ground, making it difficult for him to dodge such attacks. He can only manage to cast the Golden Light Spell for defense and activate his magical artifacts for defense.
Just like the first time, Lin Yu's two layers of defense were easily broken again, and he was directly slammed into the maze wall dozens of meters away by Zagnat.
[This monster... is truly a mage's nemesis!]
As Lin Yu landed on the ground, feeling his body almost falling apart, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Zagnat was too fast, so fast that Lin Yu only had time to use defensive artifacts and the "Golden Light Spell," and couldn't use any defensive magic at all.
Lin Yu has already paid great attention to casting speed. Whether it is offensive or defensive magic, it can be said to be instantaneous, with a casting time of only a fraction of a second. However, for Zagnat, whose speed is astonishing, that fraction of a second is an insurmountable barrier!
And even if you manage to cast a spell by sheer luck, so what? Zagnat has an extremely high level of defense against magic, and can almost ignore magical attacks of the same level. Unless the magic power far exceeds its own, it can only inflict a minor injury at most, and once it gets close, it will be difficult to cast any more spells.
Flying in the air won't work either, as Zagnat's jumping ability is extremely strong, and most levels in the dungeon have a height limit.
Therefore, any mage who encounters Zagnat alone is likely to die, even if they are significantly stronger than it.
Fortunately, Lin Yu is not just a simple mage, but also a warrior with considerable strength!
"Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt VIP, activate!"
After landing, Lin Yu quickly got up and activated the Thunder Magic in an instant. Stimulated by the Thunder Magic, Lin Yu's speed and strength increased dramatically!
At this moment, Zagnat had already caught up and slashed at Lin Yu with a claw the instant he stood up.
"when!"
Suddenly, a black longsword appeared in Lin Yu's hand, steadily blocking Zagnat's claws with a soft sound.
The black longsword was naturally a weapon that Lin Yu had Hephaestus forge, which could grow. He had obtained it a few days ago. Because it was completely black, but the sacred characters engraved on it often flashed with white light, Lin Yu named it "Dark Moon".
While Darkmoon wasn't particularly powerful at this point, it was still much better than ordinary weapons, especially given its "indestructible" nature. It wouldn't be damaged by Zagnat's claws, making it a good choice for dealing with Zagnat.
With the help of the gene lock and the Thunder Law, Lin Yu's speed increased significantly, and he finally caught up with Zagnat's speed.
Then Lin Yu and Zagnat engaged in a fierce battle on the 27th floor. They traded blows, each determined to kill the other. Although the 27th floor was not small, it wasn't too large for Lin Yu and Zagnat's speed, so the entire floor was quickly covered.
Each floor bears traces of the battle between the man and the monster.
During this process, some fearless adventurers who had not yet retreated saw the battle and immediately withdrew!
Being unafraid of death doesn't mean wanting to die. The two sides in this battle are clearly top-tier adventurers and floor-lord level monsters, treating the entire 27th floor as a battlefield. These Iv3 and Iv4 adventurers are too fragile and don't even have the ability to watch the battle. If they don't want to die, they naturally have to retreat.
