Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 352 Exploiting the Limits

The moment the body plummeted, the violent, chaotic energy flow was like countless cold blades, cutting through the protective star power.

【Starflow Aquatic Field】It spontaneously adjusts to form a layer of airflow around the body, striving to deflect the most deadly energy blades.

However, the energy turbulence deep within the canyon was far beyond imagination. The shield lasted for less than three seconds before it began to flicker violently and waver erratically.

Luo Lin focused most of his attention on [Quiet Dust Star], striving to maintain a stable output of star power and the circulation of shields.

Mental energy transformed into countless slender tentacles, sensing the trajectory and strength of every energy flow around them. Their bodies, like fallen leaves in a storm, constantly adjusted their posture according to the direction of the turbulent currents, avoiding the most dangerous energy vortices and fleeting spatial rifts.

The fall lasted for about ten seconds, and I felt the hard rocks beneath my feet.

It wasn't the bottom of a valley, but rather a relatively wide, sloping, protruding rock platform.

The edge of the platform is a surging abyss of energy.

As soon as I stood firm, I heard a piercing metallic friction and a roar of energy coming from above.

The damaged Annihilator crashed down like a meteorite!

Its massive body was struck by several energy turbulences during its descent, adding more charred marks to its armor. The smoking head sensors prevented it from effectively adjusting its posture, and it just crashed straight into the platform!

Luo Lin's pupils contracted sharply. Without thinking, his body instinctively lunged towards a giant rock on the inner side of the platform.

Boom!!!

The deafening impact almost ripped eardrums.

The entire platform was shaking violently, and debris was flying everywhere like a torrential rain.

The annihilation-type heavy body slammed into the edge of the platform, half of its body embedded in the rock. The shockwave it generated, carrying debris and turbulent energy, violently swept over the giant rock where Rolin was hiding.

The rock surface instantly cracked, groaning under the strain.

Luo Lin lowered his body, pressing himself tightly against the base of the rock. His protective star power fluctuated violently under the impact, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat again.

He suppressed his surging blood and qi, and used his mental power to penetrate the smoke and chaotic energy field, locking onto the annihilation-type machine.

Embedded in the rock wall, it seemed unable to move for a while. The damaged head sensor was flashing wildly, and intermittent dark golden energy was circulating throughout its body, as if trying to restart the system.

opportunity!

A cold glint flashed in Rolin's eyes as he endured his injuries and leaped out from behind the rock!

With a figure as fast as a ghost, propelled by the [Starflow Aquatic Field], it glided almost along the ground, instantly covering a distance of tens of meters, and appeared on the side of the Annihilation Type.

That's where the armor was pierced by the [Star Eclipse] finger sword!

Around the crack, the dark gold armor took on an unstable grayish-white hue, as the residual corrosive power of [Star Eclipse] continued to exert its influence, hindering its self-repair.

This time, Roland did not use his finger sword.

He clenched his fists, palms facing each other, and crimson-silver star power surged out wildly, condensing, compressing, and rotating between his hands to form a fist-sized ball of light with countless tiny starlight colliding fiercely inside!

The powers of [Slaying Star] and [Silent Star] were forcibly combined, and the surface of the light sphere was filled with interwoven patterns of crimson and dark silver, emitting a terrifying fluctuation that was extremely unstable yet carried a strange sense of sedimentation.

This was another attack method he had temporarily devised during his fall, taking into account the chaotic energy environment of the canyon—[Starfall Explosion]!

The highly compressed and conflicting stellar forces are forcibly bound together, and the sedimentation field of the [Quiet Dust Star] is used to temporarily maintain stability. Upon contact with the target, the forces explode, producing a mixed destructive effect far exceeding that of a single-target attack!

It's extremely risky; if you don't control it properly, you might blow yourself up before you even throw it.

But right now, there is no better option.

The Annihilator seemed to sense a deadly threat. Its body, embedded in the rock wall, began to struggle violently, and dark golden energy surged wildly to its right arm in an attempt to raise it to block.

But it was too badly injured and moved slowly.

With a low roar, Rolin used all his strength and willpower to forcefully press the extremely unstable [Starfall Explosion] orb deep into the crack in the armor!

The moment it was pressed in, the binding field of [Quiet Dust Star] was automatically released!

boom!!!

It wasn't a huge explosion, but a dull, muffled sound, as if it came from inside metal, that made your heart stop!

Immediately afterwards, a blinding crimson-silver light suddenly shot out from every gap, joint, and even the damaged parts of the armor on the annihilation-type torso!

Its entire massive body is like a ball that has been inflated to its limit in an instant and then torn apart from the inside by countless sharp blades!

Dark gold armor fragments, mixed with disintegrating internal metal components, energy conduits, and numerous precision parts sparking with electricity, sprayed outwards like fireworks!

The powerful shockwave sent Rolin flying again, crashing heavily into the rock wall behind him. His vision went black for a moment, and he felt nauseous and his chest tightened.

But he stared intently at the epicenter of the explosion.

As the light faded, the massive annihilation-type machine's upper body almost completely disappeared, leaving only a broken metal lower limb and part of its torso skeleton, crookedly embedded in the rock wall. The internal energy reaction quickly extinguished, leaving only a pile of smoky, completely destroyed metal wreckage.

Solved — one unit.

Luo Lin slid down to the ground, leaning against the rock wall, panting heavily, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

That [Starfall Explosion] just now almost drained the remaining star power, and I also felt a series of sharp pains in my mind.

Before he could catch his breath, he heard another roar of energy and a heavy whooshing sound from above!

The other two damaged destroyer-type tanks caught up!

They clearly "saw" the destruction of their companions, and the data stream was filled with cold rage.

This time, instead of crashing down directly, they used the remaining energy wings on their backs, which were used for short-range maneuvering and balancing, to barely adjust their direction in the chaotic airflow. They landed at opposite ends of the platform, one to the left and one to the right, forming an angle that blocked all of Rolin's escape routes.

The vibration of the platform made Luo Lin's heart sink.

Looking up, two steel behemoths stood amidst the grayish-white energy mist, their damaged armor shimmering with a dark golden light, their head sensors locking onto his position.

Although they were injured in the legs and their movements were not as swift as before, the oppressive feeling of relentless struggle was even stronger than before.

Despair has struck once again.

Luo Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, leaned against the rock wall, and slowly stood up.

His internal stellar energy was nearly depleted, his mental energy was greatly depleted, and he was experiencing severe pain in many parts of his body.

But his eyes were unusually calm, even carrying a hint of cold sharpness.

The marking filter on my wrist, under the interference of the chaotic energy in the canyon, became less hot, and the connection seemed to become a little blurred.

This may be good news, at least for that distant node, the battle situation here is not yet clearly perceptible.

Now, all you need to do is face these two machines in front of you.

He took a deep breath, the chaotic, cold air rushing into his lungs and stimulating his nerves.

The [Star Source Meditation Method] operates rapidly, drawing upon the last bit of potential deep within the body and the Star Vortex Foundation, while simultaneously absorbing the chaotic energy particles from the surrounding environment that are both violent and ubiquitous.

Ordinary wizards would never dare to directly draw energy from Howling Gorge, as that would be tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

But the sedimentation and sorting properties of [Quiet Dust Star] became his only reliance at this moment.

The violent energy particles were forcibly drawn into the body and immediately enveloped, settled, and filtered out by the power of the [Quiet Dust Star], leaving only relatively mild basic energy. Then, the [Star Source Meditation Method] frantically refined the energy, replenishing the depleted Star Power Pool.

The process was painful and slow, with a throbbing pain in the body as if it were being forcibly stretched, and a subtle tearing sensation caused by the mixed energy everywhere.

But a new stellar energy is indeed being generated anew.

Not enough, far from enough.

Two annihilation-type vehicles have already begun their advance, their heavy metal feet pounding on the rocky platform with a chilling thud, as they approach step by step.

The one on the left has a damaged leg energy conduit, so it moves a little slower, and its right leg is noticeably stiff.

The one on the right with an injured joint has a slight limp in its left leg.

They seemed to realize that Rolin was at his last gasp, and instead of launching a ranged attack immediately, they slowly tightened their encirclement like beasts hunting wounded prey. The cold data stream scanned Rolin's every minute movement, searching for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

With his back against the rock wall, Luo Lin moved slowly, keeping himself centered on the angle between the two annihilation-type vehicles to avoid being detected by either one.

Easy to lock.

My brain is working at lightning speed.

There is no chance of winning in a direct confrontation.

We must take advantage of the environment and their injuries to create opportunities.

His gaze swept across the platform.

The platform is not particularly wide, about the size of two basketball courts, and its surface is uneven, covered with wind-eroded grooves and cracks.

Near the inner rock wall, there are several deep fissures, dark and leading nowhere.

Above and all around, grayish-white turbulent energy flows surge and collide endlessly, occasionally forming small energy vortices at protrusions in the rock walls.

The destroyer on the right, with its joint damaged, seemed eager to launch a preemptive attack!

It took a sudden step forward, raising its relatively intact right arm. Dark golden energy gathered in its palm, but instead of launching an energy ball, it formed a condensed, ever-extending energy whip!

Fine, destructive energy runes flowed along the edge of the whip, and like a living thing, it lashed out at Rolin's waist with a piercing shriek!

This attack covered a very large area, almost completely blocking any space for dodging to the left or right.

At the same time, the demolition-type unit on the left, with its leg injury, also moved in coordination. Instead of launching a long-range attack, it slightly turned its body, positioning its relatively intact left side against Rolin. The heavy armor plates on its shoulders snapped open slightly, revealing a honeycomb-like pattern underneath.

Launch port!

Chi Chi Chi!

Dozens of fist-sized high-explosive energy blasts, trailing pale blue flames, scattered across a large area in front of and to the right of Rolin!

Block off the escape route and force your way to the rock wall!

A game-winning combination!
