Chapter 80
With just a brief moment of hesitation, the tunnel behind them started to fill up with a cloud of dust, a strange-looking magic array could be seen vaguely surfacing on the ground.
Soon, two tall figures emerged from the magic array.
It was a Teleportation magic spell, not underground travel!
A blue light flickered in Greem’s eyes, and with just one look, he already identified the method that was used by the enemy.
Even though they used a Teleportation magic spell, there were no traces of spatial ripples. But he could sense a strong Earth element magic energy instead. It was as if this Teleportation magic spell was driven by Earth element magic energy!
But this was not the right time to give it a thorough analysis. Currently, they were being chased by someone at their backs, while there was an ambush in front, this was a nasty situation!
“You’re Mary, am I right?” One of the men that were behind them slowly walked forward, saying with a cold voice, “Excellent. So the two who murdered Grier are here. I’m going to pull your souls out from your bodies, imprison them in the Soul Trapping Corpse and let the both of you howl painfully for more than ten thousand years!”
The one who talked was a noble youth, tall and handsome. His light blue robe shimmered with multi-colored runes in the dark, while the frightening energy of frost started to spread throughout the entire tunnel.
“Little kid, you’re pretty tough, huh! But this is better, as Langdon would owe me two big favors later!” Although the short midget looked skinny and ugly, he was surprisingly an actual human. When he saw the preys that brought themselves in front of him, he quickly leaned forward and tried to catch them using his hand.
His palm could be seen being covered with a glove made up entirely from a dense layer of tame electricity.
If any living being was touched by this Paralyzing Lightning, they would lose all their strength for fifteen minutes.
An indistinct noise rang out in the air, as a crystal clear Elementium core fell on the ground.
The midget became startled for a brief moment but decided to pick it up. But before he could get close to it, a dense cloud of Earth Elementium suddenly bubbled up and covered the core.
“Eh, what is this thing?”
The midget was struck with curiosity. At this time, Langdon’s loud roar could be heard through the lightning web and was heard by this midget.
The midget hesitated, wondering if he should capture these two preys first or turned off the lightning web. A loud rumble suddenly came from the place where the thick cloud of Earth Elementium appeared. And a massive monster suddenly squeezed its way out from under the ground, moving its huge and long body, thrusting it ferociously into the midget.
Its body was made entirely of rocks, a rocky snake head, tongue, and fangs… this… this was clearly a Rock Snake!
With just a flick, the midget suddenly vanished from where he previously stood, only to reveal himself again behind a huge rock some twenty meters away. Meanwhile, with the use of its rock-solid mouth full of sharp fangs, the frightening Rock Snake forcefully slammed on the ground where the midget once stood at just mere moments ago. In just an instant, a powerful quake spread throughout the entire tunnel, causing the rock bed to shift, causing huge amounts of rocks to fall from the ceiling.
The Rock Snake pulled out its head from the piles of stones, and once again held its head up high. With not even a second had passed by, it’s earthy yellow eyes had already locked down on midget located not far away from it, and readied itself to violently thrust again to its target.
Damn it! What exactly was this?
Taken aback by the surprise attack, the midget stamp with rage and cursed. He quickly rubbed his palms and unleashed a raging lightning, striking onto the snake head who was coming fast in his way, trying his best in holding it back. The wantonly splashing electricity burned the snake head of Rock Snake, producing a thick cloud of smoke, while the skin made from tough rock had also starting to melt like hot wax.
However, the Rock Snake’s strength was on it’s tough skin. It wasn’t bothered by these damages and still charging toward the enemy savagely.
Left with no alternative, the midget once again used his Lightning Jump ability and brought himself to another spot.
“Hegel, what the hell are you doing there? Quickly turn off the lightning trap!” On the other side of the tunnel, Langdon became even more impetuous when he heard the violent rumbles.
After not receiving a response from his peer after a long time, his eyes turned bloodshot. Langdon turned around and asked furiously, “Philip, can you bring me over there?”
Holding his staff firmly, Philip, who stood behind Langdon, focused his mind and sent out his senses. Soon, he shook his head, saying, “The changes of terrain are really intense on the other side. The aura of the rock layers aren’t stable. I can’t establish a stable stratum node!”
Damn it…
The angry Langdon couldn’t wait any longer. He let out a furious shout and once again transformed into a giant three meters tall. A crystal clear blue armor was seen forming outside of his body. After that, he crazily shot himself into the lightning web.
The raging electricity kept wreaking havoc on his body, while the blue plasmas restlessly destroying his ice armor. However, he used his hands and protected his eyes and face. In addition, with the help of the copious Ice energy that kept bursting out from his body, he managed to withstand the attack of the lightning. He then strode out from the lightning web.
Revealed in front of his eyes was a broken tunnel with many parts collapsed. The original cavern was no longer there. Only broken ruins were left after the intense battle. An enormous rock snake was seen lying on the ground, motionless. Thick and pungent dark smoke was seen lingering around the over thirty meters long body. The position of the snake head was now replaced by a pool of flowing magma, while a crystal clear, earthy yellow core flashed a few times, before finally dimming down completely.
The midget was squatting beside the snake head. It seemed as if he was examining something.
“Where are the enemies I asked you to intercept? Where are the two bastards!?” Langdon, who had transformed into a blue giant, roared crazily.
“Aren’t they there?” The midget turned around and pointed to a spot. “Eh? Where did they go?”
The midget had finally realized that both charred humans had vanished without a trace!
