Chapter 112 Lightning and Thunder
The ASA portion of the battlefield is a 3v2. However, because Lewis's special ability is countered by Pu Songling, it can also be considered a 2v2.
On the Xuezhai side, the situation was also subtly shifting from 4 vs 3 to 3 vs 3.
Mary Shelley was enveloped in lightning; having just rushed directly from the substation, she was now extremely charged, resulting in a significant increase in her strength.
Xu Zhimo, who relied entirely on close-range attacks, was hampered by the electric aura surrounding Mary Shelley, preventing him from getting close. Therefore, he could only harass her with his speed. Meanwhile, Zhou Ge, having cast a spell of "Hometown" on himself, was directly confronting Mary Shelley, and for the time being, neither could gain the upper hand.
Barry and Exupéry, like Xu Zhimo, were better at self-defense than offensive, and could only harass Zhou Ge and Mary Shelley's battlefield by circling around them.
—In reality, most of the time it was just Xu Zhimo and Barry scratching each other to show that they hadn't been slacking off.
There was no way they could participate in a battlefield of inhuman level. Putting aside whether they could even hit anyone or break through their defenses, their own anti-armor alone would probably cripple them if they joined in.
Zhu Ziqing was squatting in the corner, doing something I don't know, while Wan Jiabao... Wan Jiabao's current position is a little awkward.
Wan Jiabao's special ability is called "Thunderstorm". Its effect is to continuously create low-altitude floating dark clouds. These clouds not only block the sunlight and increase the humidity, but when the number of these clouds reaches a certain amount, they will become real thunderstorm clouds, which can continuously strike down lightning.
It can be said that, apart from the slightly long wind-up time for accumulating rain clouds, Wan Jiabao's Thunderstorm is top-notch in terms of attack speed, attack power, and endurance among turret-type abilities.
Wan Jiabao's role in the Academy is also that of a pure damage dealer.
But the awkward part this time is... Mary Shelley, her "Frankenstein" is "rechargeable".
Therefore, if Wan Jiabao were to take action, the situation would likely be as follows:
Wan Jiabao: Powerful output (crossed out)
Wan Jiabao: Enemy Support (Correct Answer)
Even if you wanted to use "thunderstorm" to help, it wouldn't work. The two steel nails that Mary Shelley had in her temples seemed to have a special electrostatic effect. When Wan Jiabao's lightning struck, even the lightning rod couldn't beat the two steel nails in Mary Shelley's head.
Despite all his calculations, he never expected the enemy to be a battery. Wan Jiabao, now transformed into a power bank, could only frantically rub his cloud-like hands, trying his best to appear less useless.
Enveloped in a layer of "Hometown" energy, Zhou Ge, whose defensive capabilities were currently the strongest among the students present, held up the small diary in one hand and held the other hand in front of him, calmly watching Mary Shelley rush towards him.
“【Ancient sayings and strange phrases, like burying the past】.” Brother Zhou calmly recited the prefix of liberation, as if he were discussing literature with someone in a peaceful manner rather than engaging in a face-to-face struggle, “【Grave】.”
Mary Shelley: "How annoying, it's that trick again!"
As Mary Shelley roared in exasperation, the ground beneath her feet seemed to transform into a predator, the bricks surging and leaping out like liquid, swallowing Mary Shelley whole and leaving only a slight indentation in the ground.
In the instant the ground calmed down, a large amount of wild grass grew wildly on the ground that had swallowed Mary Shelley, strengthening the binding force and instantly helping Mary Shelley achieve the achievement of "grass five meters high on the grave".
Zhou Ge, who had completed the combo in an instant, showed no special expression. Instead, he began to slowly flip through the diary in his hand.
Brother Zhou's [Grave] can be activated extremely quickly, while [Wild Grass] is a trap that can be released in advance. This combination of the two abilities is Brother Zhou's most commonly used restriction combination.
The main purpose is to disrupt Mary Shelley's offensive rhythm rather than to inflict damage; the offensive ability is only released after each two-hit combo.
Brother Zhou looked up at the small grave, and without pausing, turned a couple more pages.
Almost the instant Zhou Ge finished his action, the sewer behind him suddenly burst open, and the attack came with a whooshing sound.
Almost instinctively, Brother Zhou turned around and raised his hand, deflecting the attack from behind with a metallic clang. However, the "Hometown" aura on his body dimmed for a fleeting moment.
Wan Jiabao, who had been watching the battle closely, almost couldn't help but shout out in shock.
—What was blocked was not Mary Shelley, but a manhole cover that was still electrified!
In order to turn around as quickly as possible to block the attack from behind, Brother Zhou was in a state of instability and unable to defend himself.
"very good!"
Mary Shelley's keen senses allowed her to clearly hear the clanging of metal even underground. She immediately charged forward, smashing through the cement and weeds above her head, and threw a powerful punch at Zhou Shuren with a gust of wind.
Because Zhou Shuren, who was turning to defend himself from behind and had no time to react, was hit by two punches from Mary Shelley almost without any chance to dodge.
However, the one who quickly created distance was Mary Shelley, who had successfully launched a sneak attack.
"Your counterattack this time was a small mistake on my part." Brother Zhou turned around leisurely, his tone still casual. "There was a section of water pipe underground just now, wasn't there?"
—When Mary Shelley was first sealed underground, she grabbed onto a metal water pipe. She then used it as a medium to input her electrical energy, and finally used the electromagnetic field generated by the electricity to launch the manhole cover, creating the illusion that she had attacked from behind.
In reality, Mary Shelley herself stayed in the same spot, waiting for Zhou Shuren to turn around and launch a sneak attack; and the mistake Zhou made was not noticing the underground pipes.
"Unfortunately, your mistake was even more fatal."
Brother Zhou slammed the diary shut: "What's the point of talking about victory or defeat? Winning and losing are determined by ourselves—with the [Victory Record] here, I will definitely not be the one who gets hurt."
Mary Shelley, her face cold, reached out and straightened her right hand, which was broken into several pieces. Frankenstein's superb regenerative abilities allowed the muscles to recover within a dozen seconds, while the dislocated bones gradually returned to their original positions under the pressure of the muscles.
In less than half a minute, Mary Shelley's arm was completely healed, and she even threw a few punches in the air with her right hand, nearly creating a sonic boom.
Mary Shelley raised an eyebrow defiantly: "Obviously, this isn't very lethal."
"Really?" Brother Zhou said meaningfully. "So, Miss Shelley didn't consume much electricity?"
Shelley's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly, but that instantaneous reaction was enough for Zhou Shuren to confirm his suspicions.
Shelley has a strong regenerative ability, but to achieve the effect of regenerating an arm in half a minute requires additional energy.
Realizing she had been seen through, Mary Shelley gritted her teeth: "Even if it's just what's left, it's enough to beat you to a pulp!"
Zhou Shuren nodded gently: "I'd be happy to oblige."
