Arad's Sword

Chapter 216 The Third Way
Flocks of birds fluttered in terror from the treetops.

Groups of monsters ran madly in the sea of ​​trees.

The awakened demonic beasts that each occupied a territory lost their usual dominance, and retreated to a hiding place more cautiously than small animals, or ran away at the fastest speed in their lives.

Even the towering trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, the blooming flowers of various colors and the stretching green vines seemed to be frightened, trying to restrain their vitality.

The Mountain of Stars, which was originally full of all kinds of hustle and bustle, seemed to be silent at this moment, as if the magic of silence had been cast.

It can even be said to be dead silent.

It was only because of the arrival of the man in golden armor, wearing a golden mask, and his eyes burning with cold fire.

The Lord of the City of Light, Segerhardt, was suspended above the sea of ​​trees, overlooking all living beings from a high position, and kept moving forward at an unhurried speed.

From between his brows, a slender light blue brilliance shot out, like a piece of tulle, scanning back and forth in all directions.Whether it is hiding underground, hiding in the bushes, or using some special talent to escape into the shadows or void, none of them can hide the light blue light's scan.

In the blink of an eye, one after another, the trembling monsters were all revealed.

However, from the City Lord of Light's point of view, these "little guys" in his opinion are obviously not worth paying attention to. After just a few glances, Segerhardt continued to fly forward.

"Oh? The pumice giant?" A ray of light flashed in the icy eyes of the City Lord of Light. The next moment, he turned into a ray of light again and flew directly to the head of the hapless giant.

Facing this level 52 awakened pumice giant, Segerhardt finally used his hands.He opened both hands at the same time, shooting out ten slender lasers from his fingertips, cutting back and forth like ten extremely sharp rapiers, completely disintegrating the giant who had finally awakened in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Segerhardt moved his hand slightly, and the pumice giant's evolved elemental core automatically flew into his palm.

Looking at this diamond-like, crystal-clear and transparent elemental core, which is the size of an adult's head, Segerhardt nodded in satisfaction.

Another rare material can be added to the material library of the Seventeenth Palace of Azure Rock.During the long years, apart from deep sleep, the Lord of the City of Light often used alchemy and sculpture to pass the time. With such a core of high-level elements, it is estimated that several experiments can be done.

In fact, for the City Lord of Light, if the Seventeenth Palace of Azure Rock is his palace, then this hanging city is equivalent to his back garden, and the Mountain of Stars is similar to the artificial mountains and waters in the castle of a human lord , belonged to embellishment and decoration, and it was like a pasture for grazing lambs. Everything in it, whether it was awakened stone crystals or awakened monsters, were all fruits for him to pick.

Because of this, it is absolutely impossible for him to allow those overreaching ants from the continent of Arad to get their hands on his property.

Just as Seghardt was about to continue scanning, a strong wave of magic power came from the air, causing him to raise his head instantly, and looked into the distance, a canyon between two mountain peaks.

"The patience of the ants is really bad. Can you finally hold back? I thought I could play for a while longer." The City Master of Light made a disdainful mocking sound, "Forget it, let's kill you first."

Accompanied by these words, he once again turned into a rainbow and flew past.

In just a few seconds, the City Lord of Light fell directly into the canyon like a meteor.

In this canyon, there is no vegetation, no trees, and no monsters. It can be said to be a dead place without life.But the reason for this is not because of the arrival of the City Lord of Light, but because of the huge awakened stone crystal like a small hill in the center of the canyon.

This piece of awakened crystal is dark purple and contains golden threads inside. It is the perfect awakened crystal often mentioned by adventurers in legends in the previous life, also known as the golden crystal.

With the awakening of such stone crystals, the purity of the pure magic power in the professional body will be further improved.Not only is the magic power several times that of ordinary awakened people, but there is also a chance to capture a sliver of inspiration, so as to be able to use higher-level professional skills, which are called awakening skills.

For example, Soul Sword's "Extreme Swordsmanship? Storm Style", "Extreme Swordsmanship, Iron Slashing Style" and so on.

Not only that, depending on the individual's physique, talent, strength, etc., the perfect awakening will sometimes bring some unique skills to the individual.

In the previous life, this skill was called "secret skill".

There are many heroes and warriors who rely on their own secret skills to come back from desperation.

If it is said that a perfect job change is the strongest foundation, then a perfect awakening is the strongest backbone.

And if one is lucky enough to obtain a "secret skill" that belongs to oneself alone, it can even be said that as long as the future does not fall easily, it is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of the strongest with half a foot!
However, although perfect awakening is good, not everyone can afford it.

In fact, among the monsters who are qualified to awaken in the mountains of stars, none of them dared to use this golden stone crystal.

There is no other reason, just because the magic power in it is too pure and too vast.

Just the spiritual pressure emanating from the surface of the golden stone crystal killed all the vitality in the entire canyon.Under this level of spiritual pressure, ordinary monsters would bleed from their mouths and noses just by entering the canyon, and even more, they would bleed from their seven orifices, and even their internal organs would be injured.

And even those magical beasts with awakening talent, after touching the surface of this golden stone crystal, are unable to absorb the pure magic power spewed out from the golden thread.If anyone wants to use this to awaken beyond their limits, if they are not careful, they will directly die back.

Therefore, this perfect awakening stone crystal grows and grows year by year, but it has never been consumed once.

The only ones who can really use it are those heroes who have the most strength and talent among the major intelligent races, and at the same time there is no shortage of courage.

But at this moment, a young man with black hair and black eyes was sitting cross-legged on this hill-like golden silk crystal, with a calm and calm expression.

The City Lord of Light glanced away, and immediately found that the tiny target he was chasing and killing had an extremely balanced breathing, a very calm heartbeat, and the magic power in his body had reached an unbelievably stable state.

The surrounding spiritual pressure didn't seem to have any effect on him at all, and even the highest-intensity magical powers that emerged from the golden threads seemed to be slowly dissolving.

"It's interesting, it's not in vain for me to chase you once." Segerhardt commented condescendingly, but the indifferent coldness in his eyes never faded, "But unfortunately, even if you really use this golden crystal Perfectly awakened, but still not my opponent, mortals are destined to be nothing more than ants. Therefore, there is no need to waste time."

The young man sitting cross-legged on top of the stone crystal still had his eyes closed and sat cross-legged, as if he hadn't heard the death sentence issued by the City Lord of Light at all.

It seems that he still wants to seize the last minute and break through himself as much as possible.

However, the time required for awakening, how can this be enough?To awaken perfectly, it takes several times or even dozens of times longer than normal awakening.

The moment the City Lord of Light noticed the fluctuation of the golden stone crystal, the awakening was destined not to be completed.

And miracles are destined to be impossible.

For this stubborn young man who refused to interrupt his awakening even if he died, the Lord of the City of Light just snorted contemptuously, and then he moved his finger lightly. Immediately, an extremely powerful force directly lifted Midi from the golden stone crystal. The bondage was lifted up, and it was directly mentioned in front of the City Lord of Light.

A white laser light, as thin as a thread but as sharp as a knife, flashed across Midi's waist lightly.

One hit kill.

For unawakened people whose strength is like ants, this is a natural result.

But Midi's body, which was cut in half, was not divided into two halves like an ordinary flesh and blood body, but like a shattered reflection on the water, it gradually turned into bits and pieces of magic power and dissipated in the air.

As the phantom dissipated, the black crystal hidden in its chest was also exposed immediately.

It was an earth-shattering bomb developed by "Nightmare Hand" Wiseman Newton.

Looking at the crystal and feeling the power about to erupt within it, a rare anger appeared in the eternally indifferent eyes of the City Lord of Light.

The next moment, a dazzling white light bloomed silently.

Sensing the fluctuation of the magic power of the Mountain of Stars, Midi raised her head, glanced at the canyon in the distance, and showed a tricky smile at the corner of her mouth.

Using golden stone crystals to perfectly awaken is indeed an extremely attractive prospect, but how could Midi choose such a plan that is destined to go bankrupt immediately?

Sitting cross-legged in the canyon is nothing but Midi's avatar.

Devil May Cry skill, Phantom Array.

Using this phantom array, Devil May Cry can create multiple clones within the range of the ghost array to confuse the enemy, similar to the assassin's skill shadow clone.

However, in the hands of Midi, using the small golden sword in his body, he can naturally make more changes.

This time, he used all the power of the advanced phantom array to create a clone, not only giving it breathing and heartbeat, but also cutting his wrists, allowing the clone to absorb a lot of his own blood, to ensure that The true vision of the City Lord of Light will not see flaws in a single glance.

As long as it can resist the first scan, it is enough, because Midi is sure that with the conceit of the City Lord of Light, he will never take a second look at himself.

After that, Midi stuffed the earth-shattering bomb that Wiseman wanted to detonate but failed into the chest of the avatar-this big killer was the first time Wiseman was killed. Midi had already taken it down silently, thinking that it would always come in handy, but unexpectedly took it out before warming it up.

Many blindfolds and cover-ups, the stereotyped thinking brought about by the illusion of "the target is eager to awaken", the interference brought about by the golden stone crystal spiritual pressure, and finally, coupled with the arrogance of the City Lord of Light himself, it has become a must. A terrifying trap capable of hitting a target.

Of course, Midi didn't expect to be able to kill the City Lord of Light by relying on the earth's evil stone bomb, and he didn't even think that this low-level killer could hurt the City Lord of Light much.

But at least, at this moment, this blow is enough to hold the City Lord of Light for a short period of time, leaving him completely speechless.

That's enough.

Withdrawing her gaze from a distance, suppressing the excitement of her success, Midi quickly walked out of her hiding place and walked into the ruins of the heaven in front of her.

In the center of the ruins, a complete teleportation circle was quietly engraved on the lapis lazuli floor, as if welcoming guests.

The next moment, with the ancient incantations in Midi's mouth, the magic circle began to radiate bright brilliance, linked to the underground magic veins, and began to rhythmically.

It is neither awakening nor escaping, because these two options are nothing more than gambling in the hope that the opponent will make a mistake.

Trapping a powerful opponent with his own hands, and then leaving calmly without leaving traces that can be traced, this is Midi's style.

A third option to minimize risk.
