Chapter 1363 - Maze of Mountains (1/2)
On the other hand, Levis, who was in the middle of countless tornadoes, felt that his hair was all rising. Lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere in the tornadoes. They then swallowed the tornadoes, and transformed into a cage of lightning.
Thick lightning bolts occupied a radius of a kilometer. They were hitting Levis’ shield, bearing the power of chaos and destruction. From the outside, only the glittering lightning bolts could be seen, and Levis had already disappeared from sight.
The mouth in the center of the faceless monster’s another clawed hand spouted an ivory pillar of light, which crossed space, and hit Lin Yun’s fusion shield instantly. The pillar of light contained a terrifying power of mana and destruction. Law runes surfaced on Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield. After only a second, more than half of the law runes on the Fusion Shield were already shivering, and the number was growing.
Lin Yun solemnly spouted silver law runes, and invoked the power of darkness. When the Origin Chapter resisted the pillar of light, Lin Yun vanished. The pillar of light lost its target, and drew a streak that was a dozen kilometers long in midair. Everything that was in the way of the pillar of light was reduced to pieces.
Three mountains that were thousands of meters tall were ruined. Even more smaller ones were destroyed.
On the other hand, Levis, who had been confined in the cage of lightning, finally broke free. However, his skin was blackened and burnt, with blood everywhere. Levis poured bottles of vitality potions on his skin.
An ordinary person would’ve died of pain if they had endured such a 100% burn on their body. Levis gritted his teeth, and moaned painfully. As he poured the vitality potion on his skin, his burnt and blackened skin gradually recovered. However, he was still cramping now and then. He seemed to have recovered, but the pain wouldn’t fade so easily.
In only a dozen seconds, all the four level-5 Heaven Rank experts had been owned. It seemed that they didn’t stand any chance of winning.
Infuriated, Danason, Levis, and Dalton began to counterattack crazily. Lin Yun frowned, and quickly cast spells.
Countless spells hit the faceless monster. None of the level-8 or level-9 extraordinary spells could possibly hurt it. At this moment, Lin Yun finally realized something.
The monster was an amalgamation of all the creatures that had once lived here. However, not all of those creatures were as strong as each other. The torso and the head of the faceless monster obviously belonged to the strongest creatures, which was why they occupied the main parts of the body after the fusion.
The four serpents that served as legs supporting the upper half body were clearly slaves. That was why they could be cut off so easily.
The faceless monster would’ve been stronger if it hadn’t absorbed the serpents. However, because of the 73rd God’s power, it only had the instinct of absorbing all the creatures in this place.
Such absorptions were not always beneficial…
At least, judging from the situation, it was not possible to hurt the faceless monster’s upper body with level-9 spells.
“Mafa Merlin, what the f*ck are you doing? Are you just watching? If this ugly monster kills us, you won’t be able to get out of this place alive!”
Lin Yun was looking around. He had stopped doing anything after casting a few spells, which made Dalton, who had already been mad at him, roar in fury. He would’ve killed Lin Yun first if he hadn’t still been fighting…
Lin Yun sneered.
“Dalton, if you think we can kill the monster so easily, you’re being naive. Haven’t you noticed that the monster is even stronger without the four serpent limbs?
“This monster is definitely as strong as level 47 in terms of defense. Only the powerful level-10 spells can possibly hurt it. The monster was weakened after absorbing the serpents. We’ve removed its weakness.
“If we don’t break this enclosed space, we will surely lose this war of attrition. If any of us dies, then all of us will be doomed!”
Dalton gloomily fell silent. He was not dumb. He could tell that the monster was indeed more ferocious after its serpent limbs had been cut off.
The battle continued. Without them realizing it, they approached one of the serpent’s bodies while fighting. When Dalton flew past the body, the dead serpent, whose blood had all flowed out, suddenly craned its head, and spouted a mouthful of sticky black water at him.
Dalton was dumbfounded by the unexpected change. He couldn’t dodge quickly with only one angel’s wing. He could only throw out a True Spirit Magic Tool as a shield to resist the attack before he moved back quickly.
In only one second, the black water had corrupted the shield released by the True Spirit Magic Tool and drowned it. Another second later, the shield was turned into ragged iron in the black water.
Not just Dalton, but everybody else was frightened too. Obviously, the serpent had been accumulating strength for one last strike against any enemy that might approach its body.
Lin Yun watched the scene, frowning. He suddenly remembered that some venomous snakes were very cunning, and would avenge themselves after they died by accumulating their venom and power in their mouth. Whenever an enemy approached, they would launch the most ferocious attack of their life with the last bit of their vitality.
Lin Yun summoned three rock puppets to the other serpents’ bodies. Instantly, the dead serpents all opened their mouths, and spouted a torrent of black venom. All the three rock puppets were corrupted and melted. Even the broken pieces were gone.
Lin Yun solemnly watched them fight, and considered how to kill the level-47 monster that was good at defense and didn’t have a soul. It was almost an invulnerable slaughter machine. There wasn’t another way to destroy it without absolute strength.
Looking back at the boundless mountains, Lin Yun’s eyes glittered.
“You keep it occupied while I try to open this enclosed space so that we can lure the monster to the wall of mist and push it into the mist!”
Immediately, everybody’s eyes glittered. At this moment, nobody had the time to care about the grievances among them. They knew that if any of them was killed and swallowed, then nobody else could survive.
Levis and Dalton instantly nodded. Neither of them was good at alchemy. There was little they could do at this moment. Dalton wished that Lin Yun were dead, but he could only grit his teeth, and accept the arrangement.
It was as if they all signed a life-and-death contract. If any of them died, everyone else, too, would die.
They used all their strength to hold back the faceless monster. The weaker ones all hid far away. None of them dared to help, because if any of them died, the monster would be strengthened.
Lin Yun hovered in the sky, analyzing everything in this space with the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and hoping to find the key.
The mountains were boundless. When they fought here, it seemed that they’d never reached their boundaries. It seemed like a perfect world, but there was nothing in this world except for countless mountains.
After scanning the information for a couple of minutes, Lin Yun thought of something. Holograms of the terrain were projected in front of him, revealing an important loophole of the mountains which seemed completely random.
Every 36 square kilometers of mountains were the same!
The boundless mountains were actually combinations of identical cubes. He hadn’t realized it sooner, because each of the cubes was aimed in a different direction. That was why the mountains seemed absolutely random.
Lin Yun reached the joint of four cubes, and spouted out a law rune, which melted into the space. Immediately, a stone pillar that was full of weird patterns appeared in the dent between two mountains…
