Chapter 1199 - Ambush 2 (1/2)
“Hey, last guy! Come, let Lord Xiuban smash your skull.”
Xiuban swung Carnage with terrifying power and ruthlessly attacked that mage. But a Fusion Shield suddenly appeared in front of him, and the numerous earth runes covering it instantly gathered the power of the surrounding earth.
Shockwaves spread out as Carnage hit the shield’s surface. In less than a second, a thick Earth Spike appeared under Xiuban’s feet and sent him flying, leaving a trail of blood sprinkling down from the sky.
Xiuban reacted as he landed. The person before him was a Heaven Rank powerhouse, and a powerful one!
Even a 1st Rank Heaven Mage’s shield couldn’t block his all-out attack that easily.
Seeing that he couldn’t beat him, Xiuban started rushing back. A several-dozen-meter-big huge rock smashed the spot he had been at a moment ago and its huge power made the earth shake.
Xiuban and Reina both retreated to the back. A battle on this level wasn’t something they could participate in. The aura emitted by the other side clearly didn’t belong to a 1st Rank Heaven Mage.
The newcomer was wearing an ordinary mage robe and a gold-colored magic staff. A fist-sized Earth Gem was embedded at the peak of his magic staff.
The mage’s appearance seemed ordinary and seemed carved out of ancient earth, it didn’t have any special feature.
And as this mage walked, Lin Yun felt his steps pulsing with the earth. As he walked, the pressure grew bigger and bigger, as if the earth under his feet was helping him.
Lin Yun looked at this mage with a cold expression.
“Who are you?”
The mage remained silent and instead raised the staff in his hand as an answer. Earth runes were floating around the staff and the surrounding earth felt like a slumbering giant being suddenly awakened.
A ten-meter-big hand rose in front of Lin Yun and the large hand formed from rock resolutely swatted towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun frowned, flames flashed over his body and he instantly appeared more than a dozen meters away. As for that Rock Hand, it fell on the ground and made the earth shake, creating thick cracks.
And this wasn’t over. Lin Yun felt a wisp of mana fluctuations appear under his feet and metallic-looking Rock Spikes suddenly surged from underground and kept chasing Lin Yun.
Lin Yun’s escape path was rapidly surrounded by seven to eight-meter-long Rock Spikes.
Then, all the Rock Spikes started converging towards the center. Rock Spikes flickering with a metallic luster kept piercing their way out of the ground and momentary vacuums appeared where they pierced, spreading dust and shockwaves.
Lin Yun’s expression turned chilly and he coldly snorted. A circle of mana suddenly burst out of his body and gathered the power of the elements as it transformed into a circle of ice and fire. The halo formed from ice and flames transformed into a shockwave that instantly spread to the surroundings.
Those hard Rock Spikes were turned into fragments in an instant, no Rock Spike could be seen within a hundred meters of Lin Yun.
The dust settled and the earth mage on the opposite side had his staff raised and kept chanting incantations. Eight vortexes appeared on the ground, looking just like quicksand whirlpools devouring everything in their surroundings. Twenty-meter-tall Rock Puppets started coming out of these vortexes.
A dozen Level 38 and Level 39 puppets had come out within a few seconds. And a steady flow of Rock Puppets kept coming out of these eight vortexes stuck to the surface of the earth.
Xiuban and Reina went to handle the large amount of Rock Puppets while the Book of Death in Lin Yun’s hand flipped itself to the Element Chapter’s page.
Enderfa appeared on Lin Yun’s right and controlled the Spell Wheel while Syudos’ two flaming eyes floated above the Book of Mantras on Lin Yun’s left, firmly staring at that earth mage.
“Who are you? Who is behind you? Why did you attack us?”
Lin Yun coldly looked at that earth mage. Those swordsmen, mages, and archers had all been cannon fodder. To handle another non-Heaven Rank powerhouse, these cannon fodders would definitely have been more than enough. There had been a mage army, a swordsman army, and even an archer army.
A 1st Rank Heaven Mage that hadn’t seen through the illusion might even end up dying there.
But after seeing through the illusion, these armies were nothing more than cannon fodder to Lin Yun.
The other side dared to ambush him outside of Neverwinter City. For them to know he would pass through here meant that they definitely knew his identity and the fact that the Starry Sky College invited him. Moreover, they shouldn’t be a weak force to dare to pull something like that. Only major forces would dare to ignore the Starry Sky College’s reputation.
The Starry Sky College’s three Deans weren’t just Saint Alchemists, they were all Heaven Mages. And the Starry Sky College wasn’t just a college, it had a lot of forces following it.
That earth mage remained silent and expressionlessly raised his staff before rapidly chanting an incantation. Floating cyan rocks gathered together and rapidly flew towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun’s Ice Fire Shield shattered as it came in contact with the cyan rocks. The huge rocks didn’t seem to have a lot of momentum. But as they fell, Lin Yun sensed the surrounding gravity instantly increasing.
Lin Yun’s body instantly swayed and only a Mirror Image Incarnation was left behind as he appeared twenty meters away.
That Mirror Image Incarnation was instantly submerged in rocks. No, it would be better to say that the Mirror Image Incarnation burst when hit by the first rock.
“Gravity Rocks, damnit, Merlin, how did you provoke this guy in the Odin Kingdom? That’s not an ordinary earth mage, it’s a rock mage! Be careful of his Gravity Spell or you’ll die an ugly death…”
Enderfa exclaime, promptly reminding Lin Yun.
Lin Yun frowned. Rock mages were a branch of earth mages. Their foundation Law was the Earth Law, and by progression in the Heaven Mage realm, they could understand some relatively special Laws.
Just like this earth mage who has mastered rock magic. Even if one specialized in the essence of the earth, they would be called rock mages.
Solid rocks was their strongest defenses, and their unfathomably strong attacks.
That kind of Gravity Rock seemed to be only a dozen-meter-big, but every single one weighed over a hundred tons. Xiuban couldn’t continuously withstand this kind of fierce attack.
Moreover, the falling speed grew faster and faster. When they were at their lowest point, their speed was the fastest and their weight was the heaviest. All of these rocks had the power of a 1st Rank Heaven Sword Saint and could crush anything.
The huge rocks kept chasing Lin Yun. And while Lin Yun’s Law Runic Shield could handle a wave of these Gravity Rocks, that guy definitely wasn’t just limited to one unreasonable spell like Gravity Rock.
After being chased for a minute, Lin Yun’s anger burst. This rock mage didn’t say anything and just kept attacking with a dark expression. Lin Yun had just been walking, minding his own business, when he met this baffling guy, how could he not be angry?
Lin Yun suddenly stopped and endless ice and flames surged as he used the incarnation spell. Fire and ice merged together, forming an eight-meter-tall Ice Fire Elemental Incarnation.
One after another, ice spheres covered in flames kept forming and clashing against those Gravity Rocks. The huge power explosive force of the flames altered the trajectory of the Gravity Rocks and the huge cyan stones fell around Lin Yun.
