Chapter 96: Killing Two
Bang!!!
Sorun's head, filled with unwillingness and terror, flew several meters into the air before finally crashing to the ground, eyes wide open, unable to close.
Before Lei Lin, Sorun's headless corpse continued to spurt blood like a fountain, kneeling on the ground.
The corpse's left hand was still stretched forward, but less than a few millimeters from Lei Lin's body, it was completely blocked by a layer of armor formed from grey light.
"With the Falling Star Pendant for defense, I have nothing to fear from most apprentices' attacks, and with the Ice Rune strengthening my greatsword, combined with my Knight-level physique, I am indeed razor-sharp among apprentices!"
Lei Lin was very satisfied with his battle result.
The Sorun opposite him was only slightly inferior to the Torresas from before. Under this set of tactics, he couldn't hold out for more than a few rounds before being completely defeated, his head even severed by Lei Lin.
"Now, it's your turn!" Lei Lin casually kicked Sorun's corpse aside and charged toward the blonde female apprentice from before.
"It's done!"
At the same time, the blonde female apprentice let out a long breath, her whole body seeming as if a great burden had been lifted.
A bright red flower, the size of a fist, a green stone emitting a faint glow, still stained with the female apprentice's blood, and a dagger broken in half were thrown directly on the ground.
These three items faintly formed an inverted triangle. Nearby were many runes built from silver powder.
Facing Lei Lin's fierce charge, a cold smile appeared on the female apprentice's face as she pointed a finger at Lei Lin: "In the name of Melphis Nofalko Machinando, the Abyss Binding Giant in the abyss, the one I point at shall lose all ability to move!"
Buzz buzz!!!
The inverted triangular array on the ground began to flow with light, and Lei Lin suddenly felt a huge binding force descend, pinning him firmly in place.
"This spell? A Hold Person?"
Lei Lin struggled continuously. The sound of iron chains snapping kept coming from the void.
"No need to struggle. These are the chains of the Abyss Binding Giant. No matter how many you break, the rest will automatically regenerate, and the binding power will become twice what it was before!!!"
As the blonde female apprentice spoke, Lei Lin felt the chains on his body tightening more and more.
Sizzle!!! The silver-grey light emitted by the Falling Star Pendant continuously collided with a force in the void, faintly generating white mist.
"You lowly maggot, damned butcher, you actually dared to kill the apprentices of our two academies. I shall bestow death upon you to atone for your sins!"
The female apprentice's face was filled with triumph and the pleasure of revenge, the muscles on her face twisting, making her originally pretty face extremely ugly.
"You dared to kill Sorun. I want you to pay with blood!!!"
The female apprentice pointed at Lei Lin again: "Strength! Strip!!!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Lei Lin felt the strength in his body continuously draining away. In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have gone from a Knight to an ordinary infant.
"This feeling, is it a curse?"
Lei Lin struggled with all his might, "A mere curse, how could it make me bow my head!!!"
"It's all over!" The female apprentice chanted in the Ancient Byron Language: "Flames from the abyss, burn this sinner completely to ashes!"
Amid the female apprentice's chanting in Ancient Byron Language, a ring of black-red flames suddenly ignited beneath Lei Lin's feet.
The flames continued to spread, instantly crawling over Lei Lin's entire body.
Bang!!! The ice greatsword in Lei Lin's hand fell to the ground, shards of ice continuously splitting and shattering. Finally, even the cross sword itself, forged from fine steel, completely melted under the black-red flames, turning into a puddle of molten iron.
Sizzle sizzle!!!
The silver-grey armor on Lei Lin's body also began to become unstable, and the Chip frantically refreshed before Lei Lin's eyes: "Warning! Warning! Falling Star Pendant energy dropping rapidly, currently remaining: 45% Estimated to be completely depleted in 34 seconds!!!"
"Ignore it, release all the energy inside the Falling Star Pendant at once!" Lei Lin gave the order.
"Buzz buzz!!!" In an instant, the silver-grey light on Lei Lin's body suddenly became more than ten times stronger, and behind him, a huge illusory cross faintly appeared. Above the cross, several gems were flashing with different lusters, and a power continuously spread to Lei Lin's limbs and bones.
"Break... for... me!!!"
Lei Lin forcibly struggled, and a series of crackling sounds suddenly came from his body. Countless black runic iron chains emerged, were broken by Lei Lin, fell to the ground, and then disappeared.
"Your turn! Disgusting bitch!"
Lei Lin's figure turned into a gust of wind, arriving directly in front of the blonde female apprentice.
"No... impossible, how did you break free?" The blonde female apprentice screamed, clutching her head, then pointed again, and several washbasin-sized fireballs smashed directly onto Lei Lin.
Boom!!! The flames exploded, burning together with the previous black-red flames, then quickly extinguished.
And within the silver-grey transparent armor, Lei Lin was completely unharmed.
"No! No!" The female apprentice fell to the ground, crawling backward.
Lei Lin kicked away the green stone and dagger on the ground, and the inverted triangular array was immediately broken.
Two streams of bright red blood flowed from the female apprentice's nose, and even tears came out.
"No! Don't kill me! My mentor is..."
The blonde female apprentice shed tears, crawling on the ground as she spoke.
"Who cares who you are?" Lei Lin's expression was indifferent as he directly pulled the blonde woman into his embrace.
At this moment, his body was still burning with the black-red abyssal fire, sustained only by the Falling Star Pendant, but this woman clearly did not have this layer of protection. Under the scorching of the flames, the woman let out a terrifying scream.
Sizzle!!! Chunks of flesh and blood fell from the woman's body to the ground, turning into charcoal-like things.
In the end, the originally beautiful blonde female apprentice had become a blood-red skeleton, and the skeleton gradually melted, turning into a puddle of white liquid that dripped onto the ground.
Lei Lin curled his lip and flicked away the remaining white bone fluid on his hand.
Then, as if taking off clothes, he "took off" the grey armor on his body.
And the black-red abyssal fire attached to the grey armor was also removed along with it.
"In legends and epics, the fire of the abyss can burn the void and leave even the children of the earth helpless! This black-red flame is probably just a projection of a little power from the abyss, not even one hundred-millionth of its true body's might. Otherwise, I would have long since turned to ash!"
Lei Lin thought for a moment, returned to the original place, recorded the materials and array the female apprentice had used, then roamed the battlefield collecting spoils of war.
Bang!!! The unconscious Jiamen was tossed by Lei Lin before Biji.
The battle just now, although extremely fierce, had lasted for a very short time, and Biji was still somewhat dazed.
"Quickly leave here. The energy fluctuations just now will definitely attract many apprentices. If you don't want to die, leave immediately!!!"
Lei Lin said in a hoarse voice. After seeing Biji nod, he directly left the place.
Looking at Lei Lin's retreating back, Biji's expression was complicated.
This person had come to save her, and the power he possessed was far beyond Biji's imagination.
Lightning Thrower, Silver Claw, were both renowned powers of the enemy academy, yet in the hands of the person just now, they were as weak as lambs begging for mercy, left to be slaughtered at will.
"Just, who exactly is he?"
Biji blinked, the figures of
But her intuition told her that she must know this person, and even be very close to him!
"Wizards are known for their rationality. Intuition will lower our judgment. Everything must be based on existence..."
The teaching of an elder surfaced before her eyes.
Biji's face was blank, then she gritted her teeth, sprinkled a tube of potion on Jiamen's face, and also left the place.
Although Jiamen was Moli's idol, now that Moli was already dead, Biji naturally would not take any more risks for him.
A few minutes later, Jiamen turned over and opened his eyes.
"What's wrong with me? Where is Torresas?"
Jiamen was bewildered, then his expression changed drastically as he felt inside his robes. Only when he found that the Magical Item was still lying intact in his bosom, and his pouches and such were also there, did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"What intense aftershocks of battle! Who exactly saved me?"
Jiamen touched his forehead, then recalled the figure of a girl running toward him, "Was it Moli? Such a terrifying battle, I wonder how she is..."
"Over here!!!" Footsteps sounded, and then two apprentices appeared in Jiamen's line of sight.
"An apprentice from Black Bone Forest Academy! Kill him!!!"
As soon as these two apprentices saw Jiamen, they immediately let out excited roars and began to prepare Zero-level Spells.
Jiamen sighed and once again took out the Magical Item...
Several dozen li away from this battlefield, inside a mountain cave, Lei Lin was taking stock of his harvest.
Those three apprentices were all quite powerful figures, and the materials and Magic Stones they carried with them were also extremely abundant, altogether contributing tens of thousands of Magic Stones and many other precious resources to Lei Lin.
Lei Lin stroked a notebook with a black-red cover, a look of interest appearing on his face.
"This aura is very similar to that female apprentice's abyssal fire just now!"
Lei Lin opened the notebook, and a strange kind of character appeared before his eyes, "Chip, compare with the database!"
"Ding! Task established, searching! Abyssal language similarity 98.7%, Infernal language similarity 45.3%..."
"Abyssal script?" Lei Lin had a bit of a headache. Knowledge of this kind of otherworldly script had always been a highly advanced subject that was secretly passed down and not taught openly. He had only learned a few characters from some tattered pages in the library and stored them in the Chip's database.
"No matter what, it's still a good harvest!"
Lei Lin satisfactorily put away the black-red notebook.
