?Chapter 1012: 315. Escape Master?_2
He was Hickman Arlington.
After coalescing from eight groups of shadow into a human form, his flying speed remained constant, but he now had far more means to counter his enemies.
He drew a ck magic wand wrapped in bandages, swiftly tracing magical runes while muttering an incantation, invoking some sort of magic curse.
The shadowy magic runes, brimming with dark energy, exploded the moment they took shape, creating several ck discs suspended in midair.
These ck discs hovered vertically, as though they were teleportation gates made of spells.
Some kind of segmented shadow demon stretched out from the ck discs, lunging at the iing tracking thunder arrow. <div>
...
The segmented shadow demons, resembling ck centipedes with their surfaces covered in ring-shaped segments and their bellies adorned with many slender ck legs.
From each ck disc, five meters in diameter, emerged one such frightening segmented shadow demon.
Their heads were asrge as those of a steam train’s and not only were they hard and dark but they also sprayed thick shadow fumes as they moved.
The heads of the segmented shadow demons collided with the tracking thunder arrows, causing a massive, earth-shattering boom.
Electric snakes darted all around, and the shadow fumes churned violently.
As they struggled against each other, the thunder energy was rapidly dissolved by the shadow fumes,
The segmented shadow demons had blocked the tracking thunder arrows for Hickman Arlington.
Moreover, the shadow fumes sprayed from the heads of the monsters also formed a wall of fumes, cutting off the path of the tracking thunder arrows.
Hickman Arlingtonughed madly and elerated towards the City of Exiles.
“Hahaha! Have fun ying with my little treasures!!”
Behind Hickman Arlington, the segmented shadow demons had fully emerged from the ck discs, revealing their full terrifying size.
They were over 200 meters long, akin to centipedes erged a hundred times.
Though they had many ck legs, they could fly and moved at incredible speeds.
The segmented shadow demons agilely navigated through the stgmites, frantically spraying shadow fumes to thicken the wall of fumes and meet more and more tracking thunder arrows.
Hickman Arlington nced back to confirm that all his summoned creatures had blocked every tracking thunder arrow.
His smirk was full of cunning and triumph as heughed.
“You’re done for, Thunder Wizard! I know where you cast those thunder arrows from! The next time we meet, it will be your end!!”
Hickman Arlington flew forward whileughing.
“Ka ka ka…”
A faint cracking sound came from beneath his magic robe.
Hickman Arlington’splexion underwent a drastic change, turning from translucent gray to deathly pale in an instant.
He suddenly raised his hand and clutched the Mental Protection Pendant hanging in front of his chest.
“Damn!”
In Hickman Arlington’s palm, the Mental Protection Pendant, which was only of high-grade standard and near total ruin, was about to shatter into dozens of pieces in another three to five seconds.
Hickman Arlington’s Mental Protection Pendant was of high-grade quality, not of Saint Tier.
It couldn’t automatically repair damage or restore the shield value of the Mental Shield!
Shadow creatures inherently possess the “Shadow Psychic Bacsh” feature.
Hickman Arlington had such a feature as well.
Anyone who used mental magic on him would incur the automatic counterattack of “Shadow Psychic Bacsh.”
Because of this, Hickman Arlington had thought it unnecessary to spend arge sum to get himself a Saint-level Mental Protection Pendant.
Now, it was toote for regrets.
“Ka ka ka… Crack!”
The sound of the pendant shattering echoed in Hickman Arlington’s ears.
“Bang!!”
His head was detonated by mental magic, and his body exploded from inside out into dozens of shadow fragments.
“You can’t stop me!!”
Hickman Arlington roared unwillingly.
The dozens of shadow fragments scattered in different directions, desperately seeking a way to survive.
Just then!
“Boom boom boom!”
The ground shook as a massive phantom mountain made of Rock and Soil Energy appeared out of nowhere right above the shadow fragments!
“Boom!”
The phantom mountain plummeted down, blocking all escape routes for the shadow fragments in every direction.
This was a Level 100 “Mountain Fall”!
A high-tier Earth Rock Magic!
It came from Festa, Dickler Fegen’s Private Housekeeper!
This was the first time Nnd Lee employed this imposing Earth Rock Magic spell.
The mountain phantom, temporarily constructed from Rock and Soil Energy, appeared semi-transparent and somewhat illusory.
But its weight was tangible.
A mountain with a radius of one thousand meters, weighing over 50,000 tons.
Such an enormous object bearing down would make even a Nine Circles Metal Mage’s magic ship kneel.
It was fortunate that “Mountain Fall” was a Local Magic, recorded in the “Ascension Fortress,” otherwise there was no way Nnd Lee could have managed to cast it with 1000 energy points and 1000 points of Rock and Soil Energy.
The shadow fragments of Hickman Arlington were trapped under the phantom mountain.
Since shadow fragments were pure energy bodies,
The mountain phantom could only use its own weight and form to hinder the shadow fragments from continuing to move; it couldn’t truly crush them.
If Hickman Arlington exerted some effort, burrowed into the rtively soft soil, he would still have a chance to escape from under the mountain phantom.
Nnd Lee wasn’t about to give the man any opportunity.
He avoided the segmented shadow demons using “sense tampering” and a Flight Spell, approaching the side of the mountain phantom.
The mountain phantom crushed a vast number of stgmites, leaving a clear indent on the ground.
Gazing through the brownish mass of the mountain phantom, Nnd Lee spotted the struggling shadow fragments underneath it.
