Chapter 202 Dilemma
Rolin's gaze locked onto a skeletal knight who was raising his bone sword high and slashing fiercely at a furnace guard's shield.
The knight charged to the front and attacked the fiercest, leaving a slight opening to his side.
It's now!
Roland spread his left hand and clenched it tightly in the gap beside the skeleton knight!
The faint, almost imperceptible stellar force field that had already quietly spread across the area tightened instantly! The fluid manipulation characteristics of the [Stellar Stream Hydrophilic Field] were brought to their extreme, not as an attack, but as interference.
Disrupt the direction of its sword strike and disrupt its balance!
The skeleton knight's slashing motion suddenly faltered and shifted slightly.
It was this slight pause and shift that gave the furnace guard on the other side the opportunity!
He roared and advanced instead of retreating, slamming the edge of his shield into the side of the bone sword while simultaneously sweeping his battle axe at the exposed knee joint of the skeletal knight due to his distorted movements!
Click!
This time, the battle axe imbued with blazing battle aura finally succeeded!
A deep crack was split open in the hard knee joint, and bone fragments flew everywhere!
The skeletal knight swayed, and the deep purple soul fire in his eye sockets pulsed violently.
Luo Lin's right hand was already raised, and a flash of silver light disappeared from his fingertips.
This time, the target of the [Disruption of Order] is not the Bone Knight's Soulfire Core, but the gray-black death energy circuit deep within the crack of its knee joint, which is the energy that sustains its movement!
The tiny, silvery-white rays precisely penetrated the crack and hit the energy loop node!
Without a sound, the structure of that small section of the energy loop collapsed and annihilated!
The gray-black light on the skeletal knight's right leg suddenly went out, and the entire leg seemed to lose all support, snapping completely with a crack!
The tall body lost its balance and crashed to the side, knocking another skeleton knight beside it off balance.
The pressure on the Furnace Guard's shield wall suddenly eased!
Seizing the opportunity, Blake and the other three guards simultaneously unleashed their fighting spirit, shoving their shields forward!
"roar!"
The fiery battle aura merged into one, forming a scorching shockwave that forced all the skeletal knights in front of them back a step.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the shield wall steadily advanced several meters, getting closer to the skull archway!
Meanwhile, the clash between Lehman and the Bone Wizard reached its climax.
Lehman's thunderous fist slammed into the Wraith Shield!
boom!!!
Lightning exploded, and vengeful spirits wailed!
The shield twisted violently, finally unable to withstand the highly compressed thunderous blow, and shattered with a crash!
The skeleton wizard groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth again, and the green flames in his eyes dimmed slightly.
But the ruthlessness in his eyes intensified, and instead of retreating, he advanced. At the tip of the shattered staff, the broken skull suddenly detached from the staff, transforming into a pale white streak of light, opening its maw to devour Lehman, who was right in front of it.
From the skull's mouth was a death curse and the power to drain souls, condensed to the extreme!
At such close range, there was almost no way to avoid it!
Rayman's pupils contracted, and the lightning on his gauntlets didn't have time to re-condense.
However, he was extremely experienced in combat. At the critical moment, his body twisted at an incredible angle, and at the same time, his left hand reached to his waist. A short, curved blade, as thin as a cicada's wing but shimmering with fine lightning patterns, slid into his hand and slashed at the oncoming skull without hesitation!
scoff!
The short blade slashed into the skull, lightning erupted, and it fiercely fought against the death curse!
The skull slowed its momentum slightly, but it still slammed into Lehman's left shoulder!
Lehman's body shuddered violently, as if struck by a heavy hammer, and he was thrown backward. The leather armor on his left shoulder shattered, and his skin quickly turned grayish-white as a chilling, deathly aura surged into his body.
He gritted his teeth and forced his body to twist in mid-air. When he landed, he staggered a few steps before barely managing to stand up. His face turned pale instantly, and his left arm drooped down, temporarily losing sensation.
The skeleton wizard is not having an easy time either.
His natal magic weapon, the skull, was damaged. Since it was connected to his soul, the backlash was significant, and his aura plummeted again. He only managed to stay upright by leaning on his staff.
But as he looked at the injured Lehman, a smug grin appeared in his eyes.
"Rayman!" Ella exclaimed, firing a barrage of arrows and forcing back a skeletal knight with a long spear who tried to pounce on Rayman.
Liana also unleashed a purifying flame to help dispel some of the death energy on Rayman's shoulder, but the effect seemed limited, as the death energy was exceptionally stubborn.
Upon seeing this, Luo Lin's heart sank slightly.
With Lehman injured, the team's high-end combat capabilities have been weakened.
We must break through this impasse as soon as possible.
His gaze returned to the battlefield.
On the front, although the Furnace Guards advanced a few meters, the Skeleton Knights quickly regained their footing, and the two sides were once again locked in a stalemate. Moreover, the Furnace Guards' battle aura was being consumed very quickly.
On the flank, Blake was fighting two lancers alone, facing a perilous situation.
Ella and Liana had to deal with the constant attacks of sporadic undead and the harassing spells of two grey-robed wizards, while also protecting the injured Rayman, struggling to keep up with both sides.
Can't delay any longer.
Luo Lin took a deep breath, and in his spiritual sea, the [Morning Star] and the [Silent Star] shone brightly at the same time.
The operating speed of the [Myriad Stars] suddenly increased!
He poured most of his mental energy, along with a deeper understanding of the collapse of order, into his next spell.
This time, the target is not a single enemy, but rather—the archway made of countless skulls, and the core death energy source in the space around the archway, which is so dense it's almost impenetrable, maintaining the death energy field and strengthening the undead here!
The unusual enhancements to the three skeleton wizards, the unconventional defense of the skeletal knights, and the continuous interference from the Howling Corridor all stemmed from the massive, transformed death energy leaking from the Hall of the Dead behind the archway.
Directly attacking that core source was something Luo Lin couldn't do before.
However, attacking the energy network nodes that radiate outwards and maintain the effect in this area might be possible!
The Insight Ring and Echo Unit pushed their perception to the limit, quickly capturing several faint gray-black energy "lines" in the chaotic energy flow of the battlefield. These lines extended from behind the archway, connecting the three skeleton wizards, the eight skeleton knights, and the entire labyrinthine Wailing Corridor!
These "lines" are not physical entities, but rather manifestations of highly condensed death rules and energy flow trajectories.
Luo Lin slowly raised his hands, and at the tips of his ten fingers, a faint yet strangely harmonious and serene gray-white starlight shone.
This is the initial activation of the power of [Quiet Dust Star] to assist in locking and stabilizing the chaotic energy trajectory.
Immediately afterwards, within the mental sea, the model of [Disintegration of Order] was activated, disassembled, and reassembled with unprecedented speed and precision!
It released five extremely subtle interference waves of different frequencies!
These five fluctuations correspond to the five most critical energy network nodes that Luo Lin has locked onto!
The mental strain spiked instantly!
Luo Lin felt a throbbing pain in his temples, and even experienced a momentary blackout.
But he gritted his teeth and maintained his spellcasting posture.
go with!
Five invisible and intangible yet real interference waves of order, following the trajectory marked by the power of [Quiet Dust Star], were like five precision-guided bullets, instantly plunging into the surging death energy field and hitting the specific locations of the five key "energy lines"!
There was no explosion, no flash.
But the entire battlefield seemed to have been put on pause.
The dense, suffocating field of death energy suddenly froze!
Immediately afterwards, like a punctured balloon, it began to fluctuate violently and irregularly, becoming disordered and decaying!
The gray-black enhancement energy that had enveloped the three skeleton wizards receded like a tide.
The three of them trembled violently at the same time, their faces drained of color, and the skeleton wizard even spat out a mouthful of black blood, his aura extremely weak, and the green flame in his eyes so faint that it seemed about to go out at any moment.
The deep purple soul flames in the eye sockets of the eight skeletal knights suddenly dimmed, their movements became noticeably sluggish and stiff, and the metallic luster on their bones quickly faded, greatly reducing their defensive capabilities.
The churning mist in the surrounding corridors slowed down, and the pale arms and phantom vengeful spirits became blurry and transparent, their aggression greatly reduced.
Even the skull archway trembled slightly, and some of the loosely attached skulls on its surface clattered and fell off.
"Now!" Although Blake didn't know what was happening, the battle-hardened veteran immediately seized this fleeting opportunity, and his roar was like thunder.
"Forge Guardians! Charge!"
"charge!!!"
