Chapter 368: 368, A critical moment_1
Time rewinds 10 minutes back.
At that time, Morning Star had already detected the strength of the shield, so she turned her head and said to Su Yu:
“Nemesis, I believe, both of us together can break through the shield.”
“That’s great!” Su Yu said happily.
“However, there are two things I must warn you in advance.” Morning Star spoke, stepping on Su Yu’s shoulder:
“Firstly, about the god-level being, Sidim, of the Lun Kete Alliance. Sidim lives on a mountain 80 kilometers west of Treyna, about 56 kilometers from here.
God-level beings can fly at around 2000 meters per second, which means he can reach us in half a minute. So we must destroy the shield and run away within half a minute.”
Su Yu nodded seriously: “I understand.”
“As for the second thing.” Morning Star added: “When we break the shield, the high-ranking Skuru around us will surely attack, we’ll have to find a way to deal with them.”
“Don’t worry about that, I’ll handle them!” Su Yu said, full of confidence.
In the following minutes, Su Yu and Morning Star exchanged each other’s hidden abilities, discussing a fairly reliable plan of action.
With the plan in place, they immediately began to act.
Morning Star transformed into her ultimate form, [Star Core Dragon]. A giant dragon, with wings stretching over 30 meters, spanned across the sky.
Next, she used the [Star Rainbow Focus] skill.
([Star Rainbow Focus]: Creates a light spot on the target, which will absorb and store damage from all spells from you and your opponents. After 15 seconds, the light spot will explode, causing double the absorbed value of damage to the target.) Casting time: 1 second, cooldown: 2 minutes.
Under normal circumstances, this skill isn’t very useful. Because the [Star Rainbow Focus] skill requires 1 second to cast. In an intense fight, this can be fatal.
In addition, after hitting the opponent, because you can’t deal damage to him within these 15 seconds, the opponent can take the opportunity to abandon defense, launch a fierce attack on you, or cast an invincible skill like [Ice Barrier] to stay alive, essentially rendering it useless.
So Morning Star hardly ever used this skill before.
But against things like shields, this skill is incredibly effective!
The shield is stationary and isn’t capable of running or casting lifesaving skills, so it’s a solid double damage!
After releasing the light spot on the shield, Morning Star immediately activated her full burst of skills, with each high-damaging spell pouring onto the shield.
Su Yu first drank the [Master Level Elemental Ascension Potion], activated [Weaver’s Heart] and transformed into an adult Blue Dragon, then enabled the [Storm Eye] buff, constantly casting endless spells on the shield.
After turning into the Blue Dragon, his casting was almost free from time constraints, one spell after another was thrown at the shield like a machine gun.
[Absolute Zero (Forbidden Spell)] (Opens an ice domain, significantly increasing ice damage caused by allied units in the area, heavily reducing ice spell resistance of enemy units in the area) and [Cold Abyss (Forbidden Spell)] (wide-range ice AOE).
After casting these two forbidden spells, the temperature around Su Yu rose to 105°.
He remembered a technique from a book titled “Ice and Fire, Ultimate Pleasure”, and started casting fire spells.
A giant Fire Six-pointed Star formation about 80 meters in diameter appeared above his head. Within the formation, a phoenix gradually took shape from flames.
“Ching! Ching!”
The Fire Phoenix made a high-pitched call, like an arrow shot from a bow, it rushed towards the shield.
Bang!
The Fire Phoenix hit the shield and endless flames scattered and rose.
The light spot absorbed these powerful spells and instantly expanded from the size of a ping-pong table to that of a ping-pong court, with sharp white light radiating from it.
…
There were quite a few Rank five and six Skuru powerhouses near the protective shield.
Upon suddenly seeing the appearance of two enormous figures, these Skuru powerhouses were all startled!
“My god! What are those?”
A Skuru powerhouse stared blankly at the majestic figures of Su Yu and the Morning Star in the sky.
“Could they be some type of new mutant monsters?” another Skuru powerhouse speculated.
“Impossible! How could mutant monsters suddenly become so big?”
“Then what do you think they are?”
“Stop arguing, they’re attacking the protective shield!”
All the Skuru powerhouses present noticed that Su Yu and the Morning Star were raining spells on the protective shield.
Although the shield still looked solid, they all knew the terrible consequences once it was broken.
So without much thought, the Skuru powerhouses of the fifth rank and above, flew upwards, launching attacks on Su Yu and the Morning Star.
Originally, the high-ranking powerhouses hovering over the slums also noticed the changes here and quickly approached.
Su Yu noticed these high-ranking powerhouses, he had been waiting for a long time.
“Take this! ”
The rusty [Village Good Sword] appeared by his side, and he swung it at these incoming Skuru powerhouses .
The blade fell off the hilt, causing the Skuru powerhouses within a few dozen meters to fall into “shock” state, standing motionless in the sky.
Taking advantage of their stunned state, Su Yu released two skills [Falling Stars] and [Moon God Descends] from his accessories.
A pitch-black space crack ripped opens in the sky, numerous mini meteors with diameters of three to four meters flew of the crack, slamming into the most densely packed area of the Skuru powerhouses.
Many Skuru powerhouses were directly hit by the meteorites, their lives hanging by a thread.
At the same time, the “Moon God” with black and white wings was also summoned, she picked up a silver-white lance and bravely charged into the crowd of Skuru people.
The lance was imbued with a rich chaotic energy. Each thrust of the spear could easily annihilate a Skuru person of the fifth rank.
After releasing two spells, Su Yu once again swung the [Village Good Sword], causing the Skuru powerhouses to be in shock again. They were once again killed by the Moon God and the meteorites.
However, the good times didn’t last.
Thirteen seconds after his transformation, a brilliant red light appeared in the western sky.
On closer look, the Eighth Rank powerhouse, Sidim, was only 20 kilometers away from them, much faster than expected!
Without waiting for the Morning Star to warn him, Su Yu immediately activated the [Hearthstone], and said to the Morning Star: “Quick, protect me!”
“Got it!” The Morning Star no longer attacked the shield. He transformed into a streak of starlight and appeared in front of Su Yu, setting up the [Star Realm Barrier] to help Su Yu absorb all the damage.
But Sidim was still 20 kilometers away, and his attack had already reached them!
His farthest casting spell was called [Mind Piercing]. Despite being 20 kilometers away, he cast [Mind Piercing] at Su Yu.
The speed of [Mind Piercing] was much faster than the usual spells. In an instant, it crossed the distance of over ten kilometers and was about to hit Su Yu, potentially interrupting the countdown of [Hearthstone]!
Just at this extremely critical moment, the Morning Star, with sharp eyes and quick hands, swiftly pulled out a round, innocuous-looking object and threw it in front of Su Yu.
