Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 156 The Ultimate Defense of the Sky-Covered Insect!

woohoo-

The wind howled.

The black tornadoes were accompanied by purple-gold lightning.

The electric chains were as thick as pythons, flashing wildly!

Even if the tornadoes and hurricanes are far apart.

Yet everyone could still sense just how terrifying and horrifying that strange phenomenon was.

"This lightning storm seems to be in the Ruins City," Nan Jue estimated the location.

"Damn, that's definitely an ominous place. Can we not go?" Jiang Yu asked, somewhat apprehensive.

"Since we're already here, if there really is some good stuff, we'll take off!" Mo Fan said excitedly, his eyes burning with enthusiasm.

"What do you mean, shall we go take a look?" Ai Jiangtu came to Chu Ming's side. He was also very curious about what was in the ruins that had caused such a strange phenomenon.

He is a space-based mage and is very confident in his own safety.

"Let's go take a look." Chu Ming nodded.

Upon hearing Chu Ming's calm agreement to go and take a look at the ruins...

Zhao Manyan, who had been hesitant, immediately mustered his courage and declared that he was a defensive mage who could block the damage from the lightning storm.

Ai Jiangtu turned to the crowd and said, "If you're afraid of danger, you don't have to come along."

Jiang Yu and Zu Jiming, who were initially unwilling to go, saw this.

The two team leaders and most of the team members had already gone, so they had no choice but to follow.

A short while later.

After passing through a cluster of ruins, we arrived at the outer edge of the storm.

Dust and sand swirled in the air.

After some exploration, it turned out that apart from a pile of rather ancient-looking stones, there was nothing else in this ruined city.

"This isn't right!"

"How could such a massive elemental anomaly not even contain a single magic stone of any value?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

After a rough search, the ruins turned out to be just a pile of broken stones.

Aside from some inscriptions that Nan Jue found interesting on certain stone pillars.

The others gained nothing.

This is quite disappointing.

"What a waste of time! I told you not to come here!" Zujiming said.

"Let's rest for a while. If there's really nothing there, we'll probably have to head back," Nan Jue said.

Soon, everyone split up and took another stroll.

Aside from the lightning storms that dared not approach the center.

The group explored almost everything they could.

But this entire city of ruins, apart from this magnificent black lightning storm, is otherwise...

There was simply nothing worth their investigation.

There were no ancient treasures, no elemental spirits, and not even any demons guarding this place.

"Did we come all for nothing?! What happened to the promised relics and treasures?!" Zhao Manyan said with some disappointment.

"Is it possible that the treasure is in the eye of the storm? That's the only place in the entire ruins that we've never been inside!" Mo Fan suddenly said.

"Are you kidding me? If you want to die, don't call us!" Zu Jiming was shocked and immediately cursed.

"He's right, the real entrance to the ruins is right in the eye of the storm." Chu Ming smiled, turned to look at the crowd, and said, "I'm going to go in and take a look."

These words were spoken.

Everyone was shocked.

Right now, on the outskirts, the storm is blowing at around force nine winds, and with the added current, everyone's bodies are already at their limit.

As they went further in, their bodies simply couldn't handle it.

And the destructive power at the center of a lightning storm.

It should be no weaker than a super-level spell.

Charging into the lightning storm would be tantamount to suicide, as their defensive magic and magical artifacts would be rendered useless.

Can it withstand a super-level lightning storm spell head-on?

Is this guy insane?

"Are you sure you want to go in? This is no joke!" Ai Jiangtu frowned and asked.

"This lightning storm isn't actually as dangerous as it looks. There's a layer of artificially placed magical restriction inside, and I have a way to deal with it."

Chu Ming gave a casual explanation.

I'm too lazy to say more.

Others can come or not, it's up to them.

"I'm going too!"

Jiang Shaoxu, on the other hand, trusted Chu Ming completely.

Wherever Chu Ming goes, she goes.

"Then I'll go too!" Nan Rongni naturally didn't want to fall behind.

"Me." Mu Ningxue also stepped forward and followed beside Nan Rongni.

"Brother Chu, since you've said that, I definitely have to go too." Zhao Manyan leaned over with a grin.

"Me too!" Mo Fan followed closely behind.

Ai Jiangtu, Nan Jue, and even the timid Jiang Yu all went over.

Although the lightning storm in front of us was terrifying and frightening.

But since Chu Ming said he had a solution.

So they chose to trust!

After all, Chu Ming has never disappointed anyone along the way.

"No, that's super-level magic, how come none of them are afraid?" The remaining Zu Jiming, Guan Yu, Li Kaifeng, and Mu Tingying were completely bewildered.

"Alright, you guys wait for us to come back, the rest of you stick close to me."

After saying that, Chu Ming summoned the Heavenly Cover Insect and carried it quickly into the lightning storm.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Canopy bug, airlock!"

The words fell.

The Sky-Covered Insect activated a spatial force field centered on itself.

Airlock!

This is naturally a characteristic derived from Rayquaza.

In the Summoning Space, with Rayquaza's consent, Skywrath Mage briefly used the "Ability Swap" move to gain the right to use the Airlock ability.

However, since the Sky-Covered Insect is not a divine beast, it cannot completely seal off the space, causing the lightning storm to dissipate on the spot.

But even so.

The power of the super-level lightning storm was reduced to mid-level power after entering the "air shield" space of the Sky Cover Insect.

Only the Storm Lightning has a mid-level power.

Under the protection of light walls and reflective walls.

The damage to the Sky-Covered Bug is negligible; it can be fully healed with a single self-regeneration.

"This is??"

"It can even weaken the power of super-tier magic??"

"This defensive contract beast is freaking overpowered, isn't it?!"

Everyone was stunned.

The lightning storms were absorbed by the invisible spatial shield.

It cannot harm the insects in the slightest.

The relentless, raging purple-gold lightning eventually transformed into tiny streams of light, merging into the shell of the Sky-Covered Insect, as if it were bathing in energy—a light and pleasant experience.

"My contracted beast is somewhat special; it possesses the ability to weaken energy fields and absorb energy," Chu Ming explained.

Jiang Yu and Mo Fan looked on with envy.

I was utterly speechless.

So, he's contracted all the special contracted beasts...

The further in you go.

Lightning began to flash more frequently, the deep yellow flashes of electricity ahead tearing through the chaos of the wind, almost forming a warning net, pressing down on anyone trying to approach.

"That yellow lightning looks familiar."

"It really is a restriction!" Nan Jue exclaimed.

A barrier erected by humans appeared within the storm.

This means that someone is trying to keep the secret at the center of this storm.

What could possibly need to be hidden within a hurricane?

This naturally aroused everyone's curiosity.

Soon, under the protection of the Sky-Covered Insects...

Everyone successfully arrived at the restricted area filled with yellow lightning.

"Is there a way to untie it?" Mo Fan asked.

When viewed from the outside.

The entire storm turned black.

It gives one a sense of destruction.
