Chapter 816: Drops of Water (1/2)
The few Blaze Shields floating around were also affected by the runes, and almost instantaneously, the Blaze Shields turned into golden shields covered with all kinds of decorative designs, which all the runes affixed themselves to.
Lin Yun raised his head and looked at Daryl with a sneer.
”You better not say that I'm not giving you a chance this time.”
Lin Yun's mana suddenly burst out, and tall waves of fire swept all around, forming an enormous crucible of fire.
Lin Yun himself had already disappeared within the waves of fire.
Daryl was alarmed. He hadn't expected that Lin Yun had still been holding back all along. The power he was now showing could definitely compare to a top tier Lesser Overlord of an Elemental Plane.
He only used Fire Elemental Incarnation, yet he was able to affect the surroundings to such a great extent. Moreover, his power seemed to have been increased to a frightening level.
Daryl roared as he tightly grasped the lightning spear in his hand. Power kept surging from his body as small blue bolts of lightning spread from him into the surroundings.
The crackling lightning bolts expanded over several dozen meters like a terrifying spider web awaiting its prey.
Those waves of fire clashed with the lightning, but the lightning didn't seem to be affected by the flames. It followed the ground as it went through the sea of fire and explored a huge area in one second.
Daryl suddenly felt something different several dozen meters away. The layer of lightning covering the ground rapidly converged.
Crackling sounds echoed as the threads of lightning formed several thick lightning bolts that lanced towards the anomaly.
Golden light instantly shone as the lightning bolts seemed to strike at a block of gold. The Blaze Shields were firmly resisting the lightning, and Lin Yun charged out from behind them at Daryl like an arrow.
Daryl, who had been feeling worried, suddenly laughed out loud. 'Damn b*stard, an Okland mage actually dares to battle a Gaugass Battlemage in melee? Isn't that a joke?'
Daryl fiercely stomped the ground, and a loud explosion echoed. The earth under Daryl's foot sank and formed a huge hole as he seemed to transform into lightning and appeared in front of Lin Yun.
The lightning spear charged with terrifying power ruthlessly stabbed towards Lin Yun. In an instant, terrifying cracks started appearing on the Blaze Shield in front of him.
Several dozen cracks could be seen spreading from the center of the golden Blaze Shield, but contrary to Daryl's expectations, he wasn't able to pierce through it!
The lightning spear's tip had pierced into the Blaze Shield, but it stopped there. Dary was startled. As a 9th Rank Arch-Battlemage, any mage shield below the Heaven Rank should be unable to resist his lightning spear.
But now, there was actually someone that could resist it! How was that possible!?
Although Daryl was shocked, his fighting instincts weren't slow, and he instantly brandished his lightning spear to stab once again.
This time, the strengthened Blaze Shield shattered and exploded in a burst of golden flames… But behind it was another Blaze Shield!
Lin Yun sneered as he saw the shock in Daryl's expression.
The Element Chapter could originally raise the power of Elemental spells, and moreover, it would reinforce all fields. The Dragonic Staff's Purple Dragon Incarnation would also increase the power of spells. This time, it had been strengthened, growing from its infant stage to the growth stage. The changes this brought to the Purple Dragon weren't to be made fun of.
Not only did it greatly reinforce spell power, but it also fused with the Element Chapter to enhance its effects. This was a case of one plus one being more than two.
The Blaze Shield itself was a variant of an Elemental Shield. It had the dual effects of physical and magical defense and was very powerful. After being buffed by the fusion of the Element Chapter, the Purple Dragon, and the wheel shadow, its defensive power was far more than just powerful. Daryl's lightning spear was especially proficient in piercing through magical shields, but it couldn't easily pierce through Lin Yun's like it normally did.
The entire battle situation would change if the spear could be blocked for more than a second. It would make Daryl's most terrifying ability become the most useless ability.
Because that split second was enough to use another Blaze Shield!
With Lin Yun's casting speed and precise control, Daryl could no longer get his lightning spear past Lin Yun's shield... He could no longer break through his defenses.
Daryl needed two hits to pierce through a Blaze Shield, but every time he destroyed one, he would find another one behind it!
And that moment was enough for Lin Yun's counterattack.
A glaring light blossomed on the Draconic Staff, and the wheel shadow behind Lin Yun rapidly spun. Countless runes flew out from the wheel shadow like an eruption, and in an instant, several dozen blue fireballs appeared in front of Daryl.
