Chapter 433, Section 432: Lin Jun's Excellent Memory
In the basement passageway, a fierce wind howled and electric arcs crackled.
Behind the rubble, through cracks in the walls, and around corners, Night Owl darted through these shadows, pushing her speed to the limit. With each dodge, she narrowly avoided the raging lightning strikes, while her black blade grazed the surface of the Storm Spirit, damaging it.
However, the diamond-grade Storm Spirit was too large, almost filling the entire passage, making it difficult for the Night Owl's black blade to reach the center of its cyclone and inflict fatal damage.
However, if it comes to exhaustion, it would be too disadvantageous for the Night Owl, who hasn't slept for several days; the full force she's putting up won't last long.
The storm element emitted a deep hum, the air pressure inside the tunnel suddenly increased, and countless tiny sparks of electricity burst from its body, weaving into an electric grid that covered the entire tunnel!
The night owl tiptoed, its body blending into the shadows along the wall.
The electric grid swept past her, and she reappeared. Just as she was about to counterattack during the gap after the opponent's skill, her right leg suddenly went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
Her right foot was grazed by lightning for a moment. Although it did not cause any real damage, it paralyzed her. The night owl, who was in poor condition, did not notice this immediately.
"Oh no..." The thought had barely crossed her mind when blinding lightning filled her vision.
The night owl was slammed heavily against the stone wall, black smoke billowing from its body, and the air was filled with the smell of burning flesh.
Another arc of electricity struck, but the night owl vanished once more, leaving only a crimson stain in its wake.
In the basement, the night owl, unable to hold on any longer, tumbled out of the shadows, rolled twice, and then coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Night Owl felt that he must have been infected by that crazy old man Ivan, otherwise how could he have done such a stupid thing?
Upon seeing a Diamond-level Storm Spirit, you should immediately retreat. If you manage to drag one of the three wounded, you can at least save two lives.
Now look what's happened; his attempt to be a hero has backfired, and he's gotten himself into trouble.
Facing imminent death, she began to mutter in Elvish in despair. If Lin Jun were there, she would have heard that it contained a great deal of vulgar and offensive language.
She berated everyone in the team, from the captain to herself, and even Aiding, who wasn't present, wasn't spared.
"Night Owl, how are you?" Nova staggered over to her side, leaning against the wall.
Right now, besides the night owl, he's the only one who can barely move.
"What's the difference between being better or worse? Anyway... cough cough... I'm going to die soon!" After coughing up blood and foam from Nova's face, Night Owl forced himself to finish speaking.
Nova asked, "Do you still have the branch?"
The night owl rummaged through its tattered undergarments for a moment, then pulled out the branch: "What? Taking one with you before you die? That's an elemental spirit, not a demon. It's pointless."
Nova took the wood core and gripped it tightly. The barbs on the branch pierced his palm, and blood dripped down the branch.
This action silenced the night owl, who stared at him in bewilderment.
Nova explained in a low voice, "This thing has another use..."
The next moment, to the horrified look of the night owl, Nova stabbed the branch into her arm!
"Nova! What are you doing..."
Before he finished speaking, a surge of vitality flowed into his body through the branches.
This is not an ordinary cure, but pure vitality!
The injuries and exhaustion subsided rapidly under the force of this power, but at the cost of Nova's hair turning gray at a visible rate.
The night owl shuddered and abruptly slapped his hand away; the feeling of absorbing the life force of others sent chills down her spine.
Nova glanced at the now-energetic Night Owl, then slowly sat down against the wall beside him: "Gal's injuries are too severe. Without my healing spell to keep him alive, taking him away would be the same; he'd die anyway. You can drag Ivan away..."
As he spoke, Nova handed the wooden core in his hand to the night owl, his meaning all too clear.
"Nova..."
Without another word, the night owl took the wooden core, went to Ivan's side, and was about to disappear into the shadows when it suddenly stopped.
Why hasn't that storm elemental come in yet?
After hesitating for a moment, she sneaked back into the passage to investigate.
Then, she saw it.
The entire passage was filled with countless spores.
...
"Yes, yes, that's it, don't stop!"
Under Lin Jun's command, the mushrooms under Ai Ding's command all puffed up their caps and sprayed out a large number of spores.
These particles, carrying a faint magical power, flowed into the narrow passage like a thick fog.
In this relatively enclosed space, the spores can hardly be dispersed by blowing, and the electric arc cannot remove all the spores.
Soon, except for the area around the storm elemental, every other corner was filled with this dense fog of spores.
Within the Storm Elemental's [Magic Perception] vision, the entire passage was obscured by magic spores, making it difficult to discern anything within it.
[Airflow Perception] Due to the extremely narrow terrain, there are storms that swirl and bounce around everywhere, resulting in a chaotic perception.
Lin Jun did all of this intentionally. After all, he had all these reconnaissance methods and had used them for so long, so he knew exactly how to restrain himself.
With both observation methods restricted, the Crystalless Knight swaggered to within eight meters of the Storm Elemental before stopping.
A sneak attack right in front of you!
The storm elemental barely reacted when the mushroom cannon was fired, taking a full hit of a fully charged magical attack.
The violent energy surge caused its massive body to shake violently, with lightning flashing everywhere.
But that wasn't fatal enough. The storm elementals that spotted the attackers immediately swept in, accompanied by lightning.
The knight, Puji, showed no weakness and unleashed [Blade Storm LV8], transforming his entire body into a high-speed spinning top of sharp blades, heading straight for the attack!
[Magic Resistance LV9]
[Regeneration LV7]
【Mycelial Recombination LV8】
Electric snakes suddenly danced wildly inside the passage, and mycelium flew everywhere.
Two ferocious "spinning tops," one large and one small, engaged in a fierce battle in the most primitive and savage way, and a series of collisions made the entire passage tremble.
Lin Jun wasn't flustered at all by this brute force competition that completely abandoned change.
After all, he can see the panel, and by observing the rate at which both sides lose health, he can predict the outcome.
Sure enough, as time went on, the storm element gradually lost ground.
The electric arcs were decreasing, and the rotation speed of the gale itself seemed to be slowing down as well.
Although the opposing knight, Puji, was also badly injured, he still had plenty of magic power. With the support of high recovery, his condition was much better than that of the storm elementalist.
At this moment, the night owl that had arrived also joined the battle.
Despite some scratches, the Night Owl broke through the gradually loosening outer storm of the elemental spirits and plunged the black blade into its core cyclone.
The diamond-grade storm elemental gave a final tremor before exploding violently, sending the night owl flying.
The force wasn't too great; the night owl dissipated the impact with a series of backflips.
However, just as she approached Puji, Lin Jun gently hooked it with her mycelial tentacles, causing the unsuspecting night owl to lose its balance and tumble flat on its face.
This scene was witnessed by Aidin, who followed them in.
"Boss, she's a member of the Silver Thorn Squad." He was afraid that his boss would mistake her for an enemy.
Night Owl? How could Lin Jun not remember who she was? "I know, this guy chopped my penis before!"
Seeing the Night Owl's face covered in scrapes and blood, still clueless about what had happened, Aiding began to seriously recall the few Puji he had accidentally killed before joining the company... (There's more to come in the chapter)
