NOVPUBEveryone wasmpletely unprepared for the enemy’s attack.
Before theyuld escape the cave, they were engulfed by the boulders raining from above!
Boom!
The earth shook, and dust filled the air.
Su Nan felt a sudden darkness envelop him, followed by a feeling of falling.
In a flash, Su Nan activated the Magic Emblem Core on his body, and with the added protection of the Extreme Protection Ring and Shield Spell, the boulders crashing down from above did not cause him any harm.
He then activated the Levitation spell on his Invisibility Robe, stabilizing his descent and allowing him to hover in mid-air.
Gradually, the roaring sound around him subsided.
There were no more boulders falling from above.
Su Nan was finally able to take in his surroundings.
He was now in a massive cavern, similar to the previous one, but with a large irregular opening, about 7-8 meters in diameter, on the ceiling. The opening extended upwards, leading to an unknown depth, shrouded in darkness.
He had fallen from that opening.
The underground world was intricate, a giant andmplex honemb.
One cave wasnnected to another, and this did not surprise Su Nan.
What shocked him was that the Stone rpionuld launch such a devastating, wide-range attack,llapsing the entire cave and causing the surrounding terrain to shift!
This was definitely not something a Wizard Apprenticeuld achieve with their spells or magic items!
“A Bloodline ability?”
Su Nan mused.
This was most likely a directed ability to manipulate earth and alter the environment.
Otherwise, if the Stone rpion’s true strength was capable of causing large-scale environmental changes at will, then it wouldn’t be far off from a Full Wizard. Ituld have directly killed all of them on the spot, no need for this kind of performance.
But this broke the encirclement.
If the Eternal Society’s people took advantage of this opportunity to escape, their mission would bensidered a failure.
“But those maniacs won’t just leave.”
As if tonfirm Su Nan’s thoughts, a section of the rock wall, about 40-50 meters in front of him, slowly bulged out, quickly solidifying into the shape of a Stone rpion.
“As expected.”
Su Nan chuckled, his eyes fixed on the Stone rpion.
“Choosing this place to fight is a huge mistake that will make you regret it.”
The Stone rpion slowly detached itself from the rock wall, hovering in mid-air, its gaze fixed on Su Nan with andescending air, its eyes gleaming with the same look as a predator spotting its prey trapped in a snare.
“This is my domain!”
“No one is my opponent in this place, where earth and stone are everywhere!”
Su Nan’s gaze swept across the Stone rpion’s tail, and he suddenly ffed.
“Don’t playy, it’s just Crushing Shriek, you clearly have the Stone Singer bloodline, yet you’re pretending to be an earth elementalist.” 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Stone rpion froze, its pupilsnstricting.
How did this guy know?
Stone Singers were extremely rare. If not for his own fusion with the Stone Singer bloodline, he wouldn’t have known such an ancient bloodline existed.
And he had never revealed his bloodline to anyone, not even his Eternal Societymrades.
How did this guy see through his disguise so easily?
Seeing the Stone rpion’s doubtful expression, Su Nanuldn’t help but secretly smile.
In his previous life, he had seen a Wizard who had fused with a Stone Singer, but their external characteristics were slightly different from the current Stone rpion, so he hadn’t rgnized it at first.
However, when the opponent used Crushing Shriek, the signature ability of the Stone Singer bloodline, he immediately made thennection.
Stone Singers were terrifying and peculiar creaturesmposed of flexible, transformable stone. They looked like rpions at first glance.
They were adept at using their songs to manipulate earth and stone, creating effects similar to earth element magic.
Ofurse, what the Stone Singers called songs were just harsh noises to human ears.
Their ability to manipulate earth and stone was inferior to that of earth elementals, but they possessed a petrifying ability.
Creatures that were stung by the Stone Singer’s tail would bme petrified.
The Stone Singers would then carry the petrified prey back to their nests and force them to listen to their songs, devouring them for nourishment when they were hungry.
Su Nan remembered that the Stone Singer no longer existed on Starlight Continent.
Even during the later Element Awakening era, the Wizards captured Stone Singers from other worlds.
The Stone rpion before him had good luck to fuse with the Stone Singer bloodline.
In the current Starlight Continent, this was probably one of the few ancient bloodlines that were powerful without affecting the individual’s temperament, with bloodline rejection reactions being negligible.
“.Your knowledge is quite surprising.”
The Stone rpion finally rvered, its laughterld.
“Sadly, it won’t change your fate.”
“You and yourmpanions have been separated, you’re alone now. I’ll kill you first, and then deal with the others!”
A bone-chillingldness filled his words, laced with murderous intent.
Su Nan didn’t care at all, and simply smiled. “The one who’s alone is you.”
As his voice fell,untless wisps of gray mist suddenly appeared around the Stone rpion, quickly solidifying into gigantic gray claw illusory figures, which then clawed down at him with a piercing, tearing sound!
“Disaster Claw!”
The Stone rpion’s face turned pale.
Wasn’t that the ability of the Dim Light-level magic item, Disaster Ring?
But he distinctly remembered that Disaster Ringuld only summon one Disaster Claw!
Su Nan was surprised. He didn’t expect the Stone rpion to rgnize Disaster Claw. It seemed it had read about it in some Wizard’s book.
Knowing the power of Dim Light-level magic items, the Stone rpion didn’t dare to withstand it, immediately dodging out of the way, but the four Disaster Claws clung to him like leeches, pursuing relentlessly.
With no other choice, the Stone rpion opened its mouth and let out a long howl. In an instant, cracks appeared on the surrounding rock walls,untless pieces of rock surged together, solidifying into a thick wall in front of the Stone rpion.
Clang!
The four Disaster Claws tore the rock wall apart in an instant, but the Stone rpion had already prepared its spell while dodging, letting out a piercing shriek.
Crushing Soundwave!
With the enhancement of the Stone Singer bloodline, the power of Crushing Soundwave was amplified several times. Visible distortion instantlyllided with the Disaster Claw, turning it into a puff of gray smoke that slowly dissipated in the air.
However, before the Stone rpionuld rejoice, more gray mist emerged from the void, once again solidifying into four Disaster Claws, attacking fiercely!
The Stone rpion’s expression changed, and from therner of his eye, he glanced at Su Nan, just as the latter was removing four rings from his left hand and replacing them with four new ones.
The next snd, four more Disaster Claws appeared!
Seeing this, the Stone rpion finally understood. His facentorted in horror and jealousy.
This guy actually had over ten Disaster Rings!
Was he wholesale buying Dim Light-level magic items?
Why did he possess so many Dim Light-level magic items?!
This time, the Stone rpionuldn’t dodge. After exhausting all his strength to obliterate four Disaster Claws, the remaining four penetrated his body.
With a strange, sizzling sound,rrosive energy swept through the Stone rpion’s body, making his body stiffen in mid-air, unable to help but let out a piercing scream.
And something even more terrifying happened to the Stone rpion.
Four more Disaster Claws emerged from the void.
Wait, why were there four more?
More!
Looking at the two dozen gray claw illusory figures, dense and overwhelming, the Stone rpion’s eyes reflected horror and disbelief.
Just how many Disaster Rings did Su Nan have on him?
Whoosh!
Over ten Disaster Claws pierced through the Stone rpion’s body almost simultaneously, draining his life force and inflicting a heavy blow to his soul.
In Su Nan’s perception, the Stone rpion’s soul aura was weakened almost instantly, like a candle flickering in the wind.
Under this heavy blow, the Stone rpion fell from mid-air and crashed to the ground with a thud.
A beam of lightning shot from afar, piercing his brow with a hiss.
Before hisnsciousness plunged into eternal darkness, a thought flashed through the Stone rpion’s mind.
It was indeed him who was alone!
This guy, Su Nan, might only be one person, but he had a ridiculous number of Dim Light-level magic items!
He would rather face multiple Third-Rank Wizard Apprentices!
One hundred meters away, Su Nan slowly retracted his hand, glancing at the four rings on his left hand.
The cave environment of the underground world was indeed suitable for the Stone Singer bloodline’s ability to flourish. If he had let the Stone rpion take the initiative, dealing with it would have taken a lot of effort.
Therefore, Su Nan decisively used over twenty Disaster Rings, quickly eliminating the Stone rpion.
It was a pity that this Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice, whose power was no weaker than Bloodmouth and Magic Hand, didn’t even have the chance to fully unleash his abilities before being ruthlessly crushed by Su Nan’s superior equipment!
If he knew Su Nan had over twenty more Disaster Rings in his Spatial Ring, he might have despaired and killed himself.
After replacing the Disaster Rings with new ones, Su Nan extended his spiritual power to sense his surroundings.
Unfortunately, the unique magnetic field and geographical environment of the underground world greatly limited the effectiveness of spiritual sense-like methods.
After sensing for a while with no results, Su Nan shook his head and flew forward in a random direction.
Whoosh!
A blazing wave of flames crashed against the rock wall, instantly leaving behind a charred and cracked area.
The echoes of a hoarse, manic laugh reverberated through the cave.
He had transformed into a 60-meter tall, flame-giant with the appearance of a fiend, horns sprouting from his head, his head almost touching the ceiling of the cave. He was swinging his giant fist and attacking the Staff, Traveler, and Pruvido.
The intense heat caused the temperature in the air to rise, and even the air itself seemed to distort slightly.
The vast cave had bme a rching inferno.
Several charredrpses lay in arner.
These were members of the Holy Fist.
As soon as the battle broke out, several First-Ring Legendary Knights were swiftly killed by Remnant, without even managing to play much of a role.
“A bunch of sewer rats!”
“Are you only going to hide and run?”
Remnant’s arrogant curses echoed, trying to provoke the Staff and the others into a head-onnfrontation.
But the latter didn’t budge.
A faint golden light enveloped the Staff’s entire body, making him immune to the surrounding heat, and also making him incredibly fast, dodging Remnant’s fists with agility and swiftness.
The source of the golden light was the staff in his hand.
Moments ago, in plain sight, the Staff had pulled out this staff from within his body. It wasmpletely made of gold, shining brightly, and adorned withuntless precious gems at the top.
On the other side, Traveler was also protected by the Green Spirit Branch, immune to the high temperature and flames.
Remnant hit Traveler several times, but they were all blocked by the green light surrounding his body.
Compared to Traveler and the Staff, Pruvido and Moss were in a much more miserable state.
Theyuld only rely on their elemental powers to resist the high temperature, and their faces soon became tired, indicating their substantialnsumption of energy.
The Staff saw this and frowned secretly.
He raised his golden staff, and a beam of golden light shot out from the top, striking the void a hundred meters away like an arrow, causing ripples to spread.
The next moment, a beastly hoof emerged from the ripples.
Then came another foot, a torso, hands, and a head.
Soon, a creature with a canine head and a human body appeared in the void.
At first glance, it looked like a dog-man.
But upon closer inspection, it wasmpletely different.
Unlike the dirty and thin dog-men, this canine-headed creature was strong and sturdy, radiating an aura of strength and shrewdness. It wore what looked like very fine armor and wielded a broadsword.
“Mastiff-Head Spirit Envoy!”
Traveler was startled, looking at the Staff in surprise.
This was a very rare and powerful creature from another world, and the Staff had actually summoned it.
Was it random? Or a designated summoning target with a signedntract?
After scanning the surroundings, the Mastiff-Head Spirit Envoy quickly locked onto its target and charged at Remnant like an arrow.
The latter swung his giant fist, but the Mastiff-Head Spirit Envoy easily dodged it and slashed his sword downwards.
It was just a two-meter-long broadsword, but as it pierced through, it also cut through the four or five-meter-wide flame arm.
“Ah!!”
Remnant howled in pain and backed away,vering his arm.
Traveler’s eyes immediately lit up.
So that’s it, the Mastiff-Head Spirit Envoy’s attacks carried strong positive energy, while Remnant, who had fused with the Magma Demonic Ghost bloodline, had transformed into a flame giant, ambination of fire element and negative energy. The Mastiff-Head Spirit Envoy essentiallyuntered him perfectly.
But before Traveleruld rejoice, he suddenly heard a rushing sound of water.
He looked up and saw a torrent pouring down from the sky,mpletely filling his field of vision!
Boom!
The giant wave crashed down on Traveler, its heavy force almost making him fall from the sky.
Traveler’s heart sank, the green light on his body suddenly intensified, and the next snd, he felt the water around him disappear without a trace.
Looking around, the ground and the rock walls were dry, without a trace of moisture.
Not far away, the Staff’s face was filled with gloom.
In the short time just now, the Mastiff-Head Spirit Envoy had also been hit by the illusion and killed by Remnant and Illo working together.
“Again!”
The Staff cursed in his heart.
This kind of scenario had happened more than once since the battle started.
Whenever they were about to gain the upper hand, Illo, hidden in the shadows, would strike, turning the tide.
This woman’s illusion abilities were incredibly powerful. Even though they had the Hunter’s information and had taken pre-emptive doses of Clarity Potion to enhance their resistance to illusions, theyuldn’tmpletely resist.
If not for Illo’s interference, he and Traveler would have defeated Remnant long ago!
