Chapter 155: The Open Gates of Hell (3)
As Yupanki and Ramos lead the few remaining giant monkeys in a decisive assault, three fully charged Faraday worms sneak into Kuruma's makeshift camp.
George, who was crawling at the front, was the first to notice the anomaly: "Attention, the distribution of magic energy in front is abnormal. β
Duck suddenly became nervous: "What's the situation?"
"Falling thunder, continuous lightning strikes. There are lightning rods - well, improvised lightning netting is also laid underground. β
"Kuruma's trap?"
"That's right. Slow down, crawl slowly, and make our reaction more like discovering an anomalous bug. George said as he controlled the pace of the group, "Kuruma has lost a scout team, and he should now treat us as powerful beasts living in the depths of the swamp." If his target is the Thunder Slime, then he should conserve his strength as much as possible to avoid fighting the swamp murderer. But you see, there's clearly a camouflaged makeshift camp ahead. β
Duck nodded: "It stands to reason that his improvised camp should be located behind the scout's attack, but this camp has leaned forward with a provocative look. Swamp beasts are very territorial, and once there is an intruder, or if the magic energy is disturbed, they will become restless and violent. With so many lightning rods and lightning nets, it is clear that it is a trap. β
Isabella said: "He wants to provoke us and lure us to attack this fake camp? However, he doesn't have many people and limited supplies, isn't it better to get around? Why waste so many lightning rods and lightning nets to set up traps for us?"
Duck laughed, "Needless to say, he must have treated us like Thunder Slime! His time to die is here! George, how are we going to clean him up?"
George said, "I'll be the bait, and you two will drag it out." When Kuruma can't bear to do it, that's when you do it. β
"I'll be the bait, you're more skilled than I am. β
"No, since you're not proficient, what should we do if you really fall into the trap? Besides, if you look closely, you can also get to know the opponent - the lightning rod and lightning net are definitely not something that Kuruma can solve, and there must be Dorand or Ara people who have come here. β
Duck and Isabella were shocked: "Alahora?"
"Just speculation. The alchemy level of the Ara people is no less than that of Doland, but they are 108,000 miles away, it is unlikely, nine times out of ten, Doland's fellow countrymen are coming to make trouble for us, just let me see his ability. Don't get involved, sneak up and keep an eye on your surroundings, and kill Kuruma as soon as he appears!"
The two replied in unison, "Understood." β
George smiled slightly: "Both, this time, I need your help. β
Darker was dissatisfied: "What are you kidding, aren't you comrades-in-arms? β
"You're becoming a trusted companion - in this way, with vision sharing, I only use the magic sensing mode, and you are my eyes during this time. If it goes well, I can catch the enemy's weak point with just one contact!"
"We're on us!"
George's Faraday worm quickly crawled towards the trap, its back high as it crawled, and the electric light crackled as it looked enraged.
In his eyes, the world has become a chaotic and complex pile of color blocks and color bars. He didn't stop and went straight to the trap.
Duck and Isabella crawled forward for a short time before quickly coming to a halt, burying themselves deep in the muddy water, revealing only a pair of eyes outside.
George's giant insect mouthparts, a bolt of lightning accurately hit a thin lightning rod, the electric light flashed on the lightning rod, was channeled into the ground, dispersed in the lightning net, and then quickly disappeared.
Seeing that the attack was useless, the giant insect raised its back higher, and a huge lightning bolt was released from its entire head, and the violent electric shock pierced the air, forming an induced current between several lightning rods, and dense electric sparks woven a terrifying web of death.
The lever is still unharmed.
Isabella exclaimed, "George, you've used up half of your magic energy?"
"It's worthy of being a strong man who can control cruel angels with pure mental power, and he has an intuition beyond ordinary people for the calculation of magical energyβyes, I'm just going to use up all my magical energy, and then, lure that alchemist and Kuruma out!"
"It's too dangerous!"
"With you here, I have nothing to fear. Dark, you're in charge, and this time, it's all up to you. β
Darker solemnly replied: "I'll do my best!"
When George connected the lightning rod twice in a row, in front of the monitoring circle, Christian smirked and said, "Lord Kuruma, insects are insects after all, they can only discharge electricity in one move, they may be able to run rampant in the swamp, and they are simply vulnerable in front of humans. β
Kuruma was expressionless, as he could only use the lightning branch of wind spells. Christian's remark made him very unhappy.
Atlas is a land of swamps and jungles, and I'm the actual ruler - boy, are you saying I'm like a bug, only worthy to crawl around in swamps?
There's no way, the most urgent thing now is to replenish the electric magic energy of the sacrificial staff, if you want to catch the thunder slime, you must use this kid's technology, put up with this breath first.
Kuruma smiled kindly, "So, grab it, it's easy?"
"Of course not," stunned Qing said a sentence that blocked the actual ruler of Atlas half to death, and then said triumphantly, "For unknown creatures, you must carefully observe and analyze its behavior patterns before you can take action." It is common sense that there is a specific theory of bioanalysis in Dorland's alchemy. There are not many of us now, and we can no longer do the thing of sending people to death. β
After further ridiculing Atlas's de facto ruler as an idiot who lacks common sense, a fool who misjudged the situation and sent his subordinates to death, Christian continued to talk eloquently: "The lightning strike of that magnitude just now is equivalent to the full strength of a fifth-level archmage, how much magic energy can its body store if it is squandered like this? It must have some other means of attack-hey, rushing over? Oh, look at this! Physical attack?Mud flying seven or eight meters high?First-class strength and explosiveness!" What did I say just now, recklessly send someone to arrest me, it's going to die!"
"Huh. β
Christian, who had entered the state, did not feel the change in the laughter of his allies at all, and continued to stare at the monitoring circle, muttering to himself: "What is this for? Rushing directly into the center of the lightning lever formation? Its lightning strike will not have any effect! Will it be a way to destroy the lightning lever with a physical attack like a madness...... Oh, I'm singing, I'm singing, it's been so long, do you want to empty all the magic energy in one go? Connecting the lightning rod and the underground lightning net, relying on the lightning spell alone, even Hydra is helpless! Stupid, stupid, stupid......"
Before the word "stupid" was finished, the giant worm's whole body emitted a dazzling bright white silver arc, and a huge direct thunder fell from the sky, and the violent thunder formed a huge silver-white flare in the monitoring circle, Christian covered his eyes with a scream, and Kuruma, who was a little farther away, couldn't help but take a step back.
By the time Christian opened his eyes with a wail, the rod was gone, replaced by pools of melted metal sap, and the underground lightning nets had suffered the same fate, returning to Mother Earth.
"Impossible!" Christian was almost hysterical, "Impossible!"
Duck and Isabella, who were lurking, were also shocked, and Duck hurriedly asked, "George, how did you do it?
"Yes, pure thunder and lightning. β
"Won't you be led away?"
"The distance of the underground lightning protection net is less than the breakdown distance, and the grounding device instantly has a high potential, and the electrical energy is converted into heat energy, burning the lightning protection array of the half-bottle vinegar alchemist. Dark, Isabella, there's a lot more to learn. Next, they'll be more interested in me, and you're always ready!"
