Chapter 104 Storm Sword and Magic Cannon
Chapter 104 Storm Sword and Magic Cannon
Just as the second wave of slime ball attacks was about to arrive, and the injured members were unable to move, a giant ice hand suddenly appeared and dragged the wounded team members into Li Ang's Wind Domain.
After casting the level 2 spell [Hand of Frost], Commander Negan didn't stop; he immediately unleashed another [Fire Arrow].
The wind domain that Li Ang created greatly relieved the pressure on the team. The team members formed a circle around Li Ang, resisting the attacks while retreating into the passage.
Faced with these monsters, Li Ang stopped using the ineffective wind magic and instead used [Arc Lightning].
The dazzling blue lightning crackled and popped, and when it hit the slime monster, its effect, while not as strong as fire magic, was still much stronger than wind magic.
The pale, viscous liquid trembled violently under the electric shock, emitted a burnt smell, and then slowly dissipated.
Elisa and several other team members skilled in fire magic also went all out, with fireballs and fire arrows frequently exploding among the monsters.
It seems that the missing villagers were possessed by these slimy monsters, and their skinned flesh and blood transformed into the swift, blood-red monsters they had encountered before.
There are over 800 villagers, but only 20 or 30 of the blood-red monsters they encountered before... Where are the rest of the monsters? The moment this thought flashed through Li Ang's mind, the answer was revealed.
As they fought their way back, finally stepping into the passage leading back to the mine, the scene before them plunged everyone's hearts into despair.
Ahead in the passage, countless pairs of crimson eyes lit up in the darkness.
It was the same blood-red monster they had encountered before; they surged out of the shadows deep within the mine like a tide, completely blocking their escape route.
With blood-red monsters blocking their way in front and slime monsters chasing from behind, they were completely surrounded.
"Change formation," Commander Negan calmly gave the order under pressure.
"Fire and lightning elemental members should mainly deal with the monsters in the rear. The rest of you, follow me to clear the obstacles in front."
Li Ang maintained the gentle breeze barrier while raising his wand high. Five stars shone brightly in his mental world, and the surrounding wind elements rapidly converged towards him.
He used his newly mastered level 2 spell, Storm Sword, in actual combat for the first time.
With the combined power of the wand and the domain, a massive energy sword, far larger and more refined than the Storm Sword wielded by Captain Eric, appeared out of thin air, its edges shimmering with a blinding blue light.
With a whistling sound that seemed to tear everything apart, it ruthlessly slashed into the blood-red monster horde ahead!
In an instant, within the range of the greatsword's attack, sword energy crisscrossed, a storm raged, and severed limbs mixed with foul-smelling blood splattered everywhere. The raging greatsword forcefully cleared a brief path to survival through the horde of monsters.
The power of Li Ang's [Storm Sword] was far beyond what was ordinary.
Captain Eric, standing to the side, was horrified. He was also skilled in this technique and knew that the power of Leon's attack far exceeded his own, almost twice that of his Storm Sword, and he was just an apprentice wizard...
However, with the crisis looming, he couldn't afford to express his shock. He could only suppress his turbulent emotions, wave his wand, and unleash another [Storm Sword], working with Li Ang to further expand their gains and solidify the lifeline torn open by the storm.
"Now! Break out!" Commander Negan seized this fleeting opportunity.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he no longer held back, unleashing his surging spiritual power without reservation. The tip of his wand erupted with an unprecedentedly chilling light.
This time, his blizzard was far more intense than the one in front of the small building before. The biting cold wind was like a roar from the far north abyss, carrying a large amount of ice crystals, and instantly swept over the entire blood-red monster horde.
The ice layer spread and thickened at a visible speed, instantly freezing the blood-red monsters that were trying to mend the encirclement into a group of ice sculptures in various shapes.
"Go!" Negan's face was slightly pale, and his steps were a little unsteady. The attack just now had instantly drained a large amount of his mental energy, causing him to briefly enter a state of dizziness.
The team immediately transformed into a streak of arrows, fleeing desperately towards the mine exit along the passage opened up by Leon and Eric.
As Li Ang retreated with the team, he immersed most of his mind in his spiritual world, sensing the Hunter high above him through that invisible connection.
The information relayed back from the Hunter made his heart sink. Although the airship was still hovering in the air, the mental fluctuations of the crew and gunners that he had sensed through the connection had now completely subsided.
They had met with misfortune at some point, which explained why Commander Negan's communications were completely down, and it also meant that there were unknown enemies outside.
Fortunately, he could still control the airship remotely, so that it wouldn't become a mere decoration. Instantly, a bold plan took shape in his mind.
He calculated the distance accurately, estimating the time it would take for the team to rush out of the mine and for the monsters to break through the ice and chase after them.
Then, with a thought from Li Ang, the runes on the main gun barrel of the Hunter, thousands of meters in the air, lit up again one by one, and then the muzzle slowly moved to adjust the angle.
Soon the cannon muzzle was once again precisely aimed at the huge hole that had been pierced by the magic cannon and was now their escape route.
After setting up the bombardment through the mental connection, Li Ang's wand began to glow with a light blue light, and his immense mental power began to connect with the dense water elements in the air.
When Commander Negan, who was at the forefront, rushed out of the cave and returned to the mine, the team members who followed him also filed out of the cave.
Li Ang was the last to rush out of the cave. The moment his figure disappeared, he suddenly turned around and pointed his wand into the depths of the cave.
Water Binding Technique!
This time, the water binding technique was no longer the usual water net that bound a single target, but a giant net that Li Ang created with all his might, large enough to cover the entire cave entrance.
The azure water net instantly blocked the cave entrance, temporarily blocking the slime monsters and blood corpses that had broken through the remaining ice of the blizzard and roared as they chased towards the cave entrance.
Without a word, the experienced Commander-in-Chief Negan instantly understood Leon's intention.
He tapped his wand lightly, and a chilling white aura rapidly spread along the water curtain.
Level 1 spell: Frost Aura.
The massive water curtain solidified at an astonishing speed, instantly transforming into an ice wall that completely sealed off the cave entrance.
Inside the ice wall, one could still see the blurry, ferocious figures of those monsters charging towards the ice. They crashed wildly against the ice surface, producing a dull roar, and cracks began to spread rapidly.
Everyone knows that this ice wall won't last long.
The group dared not linger and continued their desperate escape from the mine, heading back the way they had come.
Just as they had rushed less than 300 meters, the ice wall behind them cracked under the weight of the ice.
