Chapter 668 - Sneak Attack
As the crowd slowly entered the laboratory, they felt the powerful magical wave and could not help but speed up in their tracks. It was as if the Immortal King was summoning them.
The elves, especially, were not very satisfied with the gains obtained on the previous floors, and thus could not wait to make up for it on this floor. The Legendary-mage Culofen, who specialized in fire magic, suddenly increased his pace and walked past the crowd to stand in front of the team.
“Wait…” Lin Li, who was walking behind, suddenly sensed that something was amiss, and was quick to give them a warning. However, before Lin Li could even finish speaking, light reflected off of a blade suddenly flashed in front of Culofen amidst the darkness.
At that moment, everything around them seemed to have lost its vibrance and luster. It was as if the dazzling light of the blade was the only thing left in the entire space. Time seemed to have frozen; the chilling light seemed domineering to the extent of cutting the limitations of space and time. It seemed to have already met Culofen’s eyes.
However, any retreat would seem futile in the face of the dazzling light, and any resistance would be eradicated without mercy.
Still, Culofen was a level-21 Legendary-mage. Despite facing an attack that made them feel desperate and hopeless, he would still do his best to evade the ray of light to the side. At the same time, he held onto the staff to delay the attack.
The light reflected off the blade and everyone heard a shriek, immediately after which they saw Cullofen quickly returning to the team with a severed arm that was spurting blood. Blood was constantly flowing from the wound, and soon a pool of blood was formed on the ground at the spot where Culofen got attacked. The arm that was severed and still holding onto the staff looked extremely daunting.
Elder Randy hurriedly used magic to stop the bleeding for Culofen, but he kept his eyes fixed on the spot where the blade had appeared. Everyone was taken aback by the sudden attack; they’d thought that they would face no obstacles here, since they had already passed the Seven-Realm Spiral. However, it seemed that they could not let their guard down.
