Chapter 157
Even Greem’s current overall strength was insufficient to entirely capture Mary.
Crimson armor had appeared on Mary’s body to repel the flaming chain and had gained her some time to struggle.
This crimson armor had been modified for her by Greem! But now, it had actually become an accomplice to help Mary fight against him. Greem’s mind was filled with mixed emotions.
However, no matter how hard Mary tried to struggle, her tall and slim body was still dragged toward Greem, inch by inch.
In next second, Greem’s large lava palm, spread like a folding fan, grabbed Mary’s head. The boiling hot, bright red lava rock instantly scorched her skin and made it split. The foul scent of roasted flesh suddenly filled the surrounding air.
Even with such cruel torture, it was still not enough to free Mary from Anderson’s spiritual shackles. She bared her pale-white fangs at Greem and portrayed a murderous look, without even the tiniest bit of care towards her face, which had been burnt beyond recognition. She just kept biting crazily at the lava hand.
Greem had a feeling that perhaps with just a gentle squeeze, the vigorous life that kept struggling in his palm, the once beautiful and splendid head would explode like a watermelon that was thrown forcefully to the ground. With that, he would be able to free himself and seriously deal with the wounded Anderson.
If he just let Mary barge around wantonly, even a small soldier could become an important element that turns the entire situation around. In order to solve this problem, he just had to give a gentle squeeze!
Though the isolated inter-space looked spacious, it just couldn’t contain the torture wantonly put out by two Adepts and one Adept level golem. In addition to that, the target of Snorlax’s prayer was obviously not a deity local to the Adept World. As a result, no matter how much or how madly it prayed, a Magma Fireball still came straight to it, with a long tail of dark smoke behind.
“Damn it! I hope you are not deceiving me…”
While crying out in terror, Snorlax pulled out a strange round orb from its pocket and threw it forcefully onto the floor.
After a loud explosive boom, a huge deep pit with a five meter diameter was created on the floor of the inter-space. It was surrounded by numerous tiny cracks arranged in a spider web pattern. In the next moment, the raging fireball hit and a sea of fire immediately coiled up every single inch of space in this area.
Under an elemental attack of such magnitude, perhaps even a Pseudo-Adept would find it tough to protect himself, while any apprentices below the level of Pseudo-Adept simply had no chance to survive. Yet, after this deadly explosion of Elementium gradually faded away, an invisible energy shield actually appeared inside of the deep pit, and Snorlax was seen coiled up inside of it with its face turned deathly pale. Its eyes were still filled with the image of blooming fireworks.
The energy shield didn’t last for a very long time, but it had saved Snorlax from the attack of a ‘stray fireball.’
Snorlax patted around few times on its body and felt nothing; then it pinched its thigh forcefully. The pain made it jump up.
“Gazlowe, I love you! I shouldn’t have doubted you…”
With regards to this Full Covered Energy Deflection Force Field – Goblin Improved Version 3, Snorlax had no more doubt. Although it cost ten magic crystals to activate it every time, no matter how much it cost, it would never be more precious than its own life!
Without hesitation, Snorlax pulled out another two goose-egg-sized energy shield activators from its pocket. While watching at the center of battlefield where the intense battle was going on, it wore a big silly smile and said, “Come on, come on, I’m not scared anymore…”
A moment ago, it had feared the stray magic spells in the air like they were some ferocious tigers, but now it actually hoped it could be visited by some of them, so it could give the treasures holding in its hand another test!
It was worth mentioning, after some time pestering that Gazlowe, the goblin engineer, Snorlax did find and exchange some strange and peculiar objects. Although all of these objects had names that sounded mighty and incredible and each of them possessed some miraculous ability that could hardly be imagined by anyone, anyone who had experience in dealing with goblins would know that, though they were indeed miraculous, they were also very unstable!
To perfectly illustrate this, when Snorlax was eagerly wanting to carry out a second test of this miraculous energy shield, it… it actually exploded by itself. Fortunately, the mini explosion of the energy shield activator knocked Snorlax tens of meters away, just enough for it to escape another Fire Core Explosion. Or else, even if Snorlax had survived, it would have suffered a severe injury.
Snorlax rolled up from the floor, looking at the activator, which had melted into molten iron in the sea of flame. Its legs were trembling in fear.
“That damn Gazlowe, how dare he sell me a counterfeit and inferior product! Once I return, I’ll settle this score with you…”
After cursing furiously at the sky, Snorlax had lost all its courage to be so arrogant. Carefully, it took out its magic wand and cast an Invisible spell on itself before hiding in a remote corner once again.
