Chapter 83: Crushing Situation (Four Changes)
Due to the high probability that the use of transcendence will cause the instability of time magic, Josh did not use the power of the world runes while time was imprisoned.
It wasn't until Gwen's sailboat had set sail and been some distance away from the tavern that he let go of the time limit and immediately attacked.
It was only then that Vladimir and Elise realized the power of the arcane items Josh was carrying.
If there are no world rune fragments, simply relying on Josh's own runes and time magic, even if Lunihia is added, the location is this Shadow Island, which cannot borrow the power of the spiritual realm.
Even if Josh can defeat Vladimir and Elise and seriously injure them, there is a high probability that he will not be able to keep them in the end.
After all, one is a vampire who has lived for more than a thousand years, and the other is a spider who has lived for hundreds of years, both of which are at the level of old monsters, and it is impossible to save their lives without some means of survival.
However, there are no ifs and ifs in today's situation.
The arcane runes were densely knotted, and Josh knew that Vladimir could turn himself into a puddle of blood and escape, so he cast arcane confinement on him in advance, and then focused on dealing with Elise, who was easier to kill.
"You can't do that!"
Elise sensed Josh's intentions in advance, and the fluff on her body suddenly stood up, sensing the fatal crisis, and let out a scream that pierced her eardrums:
"I am a believer in the god of spiders! If you kill me, He won't let you go!"
[What bullshit spider god? No one can change us, we're godslayers! 】
When it comes to killing, especially this bizarre variant of ability, Lunicia is even more thrilled than Josh.
Seeing that Josh still didn't waver, Elise squirted cobwebs from her abdomen, trying to pull her huge body away from the roof of the tavern.
It's just that in the classification of magic in the land of Runeterra itself, rune magic belongs to the most powerful first echelon.
Even with the blessing of the spider god's insignificant power, which was enough to easily crush mortals, Elise, who had turned into a spider, still couldn't keep up with the arcane energy blessed by the world's runes.
There was no need to even apply a spell surge of arcane locks, a series of simple and crude overloads locked Elise, firing like a machine gun, tearing through the tumbling black mist in the environment and smashing straight into Elise's massive spider body.
As a dazzling purple-blue light burst through the sky, arcane energy bursts with annihilating energy, devouring the Great Spider and destroying most of the taverns along the way.
[I hope the boss won't let you compensate for the loss.] Lunicia teased, "Oh no, I guess you saved their lives, and you should be able to save this little money. 】
Josh's vision was enchanted with magic, piercing through the energy waves that would take a while to completely overflow, "Huh? None of them are dead?"
In the center of the blast range, he saw Elise, whose chitin armor had been annihilated by rune magic, and her body was covered in bruises.
She somehow escaped death, and although she was badly wounded, she barely survived her life.
The pitch-black magic held up a protective membrane around Elise that seemed to shatter at any moment, lest she suffer more trauma from the aftermath of the energy.
"Don't kill me, please...... As long as I live, I will do anything! Anything you want!"
….
Elise knew that Josh could see herself, so she tried her best to show her proud figure and beautiful appearance, trying to lure Josh into letting her go in this way.
[vomiting...... Scratching his head and posing, it is no different from ***'s***, a little disgusting. Lunicia deliberately let out a retching sound, "Josh, you don't really plan to keep her, do you?" 】
"What are you thinking? How could I possibly be interested in the highly toxic 'Black Widow?'
Josh directly raised his hand and threw out a wave of energy, Elise stared at her in horror, her body was completely engulfed by magic, and her bones were gone.
Seeing this, Vladimir on the other side completely lost his cool, and his already bloodless face was full of panic at this time.
Lived one
For more than 1,500 years, this is the first time Vladimir has experienced the fear of death since facing the severely injured Darkspawn master......
Because blood magic needs blood support, the original Noxian warrior was directly blasted into a blood mist by Josh, and the rune confinement has the effect of shielding energy transmission.
Vladimir just tried to use his own blood to break free, but he was knocked back by the rampart sigil over and over again, and he lost most of his state.
Seeing that Josh ignored Elise's pleas for mercy, he knew very well that this ruthless young man would not let him go.
So, as soon as Josh set his eyes on himself, Vladimir said viciously, "She won't let you go!"
[Old-fashioned last words, don't talk nonsense with him, kill him and finish it!] 】
Josh's left hand was already accumulating arcane pulses, "Are you talking about the Sorcering Enchantress LeBlanc?"
Vladimir's eyes narrowed slightly, "Heh, I didn't expect ......."
"Your next sentence is: 'I didn't expect you to know LeBlan, did you?'"
Vladimir was slightly stunned and was about to say something again, but Josh no longer gave him a chance to talk nonsense, and directly threw the long-accumulated arcane pulse.
Under the impact of the lightning-like energy wave, the arcane rune sequence imprisoned by the runes collapsed, and the powerful magic power exploded instantly, and the seawater in the area evaporated and subsided, and the resulting magic explosion flooded the trestle and everything within a radius of tens of meters.
Vladimir tried to turn into a pool of blood to dodge the unstoppable blow, but it was in vain, and the endless stream of blood was evaporated by the energy and consumed.
The world rune represents the power of the planet's origin, even if transcendence is not an offensive type or a cornerstone rune as the main body, it is estimated that Vladimir has completely mastered the origin of blood magic, and it is possible to survive this situation.
What's more, Josh himself was not injured and failed to exert his strength to be persevering.
This showdown can be called a crushing situation.
[Ah, it's been a long time since I've been so enthusiastic! It's a pity that the enemy is still too weak. 】
Lunicia sighed.
[When can you pick me up for hand-to-hand combat?] The World Runes are not your own power, so don't get lost in them. 】
"The world rune is not my power, can it be that you are my own power?" Josh retorted with an eyebrow.
[Ahem, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and there is still a big difference compared to the unstable factor of the world rune. Lunicia forcibly explained.
….
[Also, it's been a long time since Helia slaughtered the dragons in the last battle! You're too addicted to fighting every day, can you make me enjoy it too? 】
"Who fights every day? Haven't we all been in the gap between time for nearly 200 years? Thank goodness it will give you a good time."
Josh didn't have a good breath, "Also, I'm a mage, not a warrior, so why do I have to fight hand-to-hand combat if I have the ability to cast spells from a distance?"
Not to be outdone, Lunicia said: [Hey, the spellcasters of the empire are all both material and law cultivators, and all of them are good at hand-to-hand combat! You...... IMHO, you're too unqualified. 】
"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you."
Josh landed in front of the half-destroyed tavern, turned to look at the black mist approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye, and held up the arcane barrier to prevent his own life from being stolen.
Even those who wandered in the expansive dark fog were the same as they had encountered in the Shadow Isles, only keeping a certain distance, not daring to cross in the slightest.
[Why don't you go looking for your little doll? 】
"It only takes a few seconds."
Josh directly detonated the tavern floor with his magic, revealing the black iron storeroom made of unknown metal with the double safety of rune locks and trap locks.
Arcane magic poured into the door lock, and with a soft "click", it was already toppled by gravity, and the heavy door that was clinging to the ground was slowly pushed open by magic, rubbing against the rotten floor, making a screeching and muffled sound.
The next moment, the glimmering antiquities on the shelves in the warehouse came into view.
[Hand in hand? You really deserve to be a brother to that hairy boy. 】
"That's a terrible thing you say, it's obviously an appointment between me and Fayette, and it's a reward."
Josh directly uses magic to converge all the artifacts, regardless of whether they are useful or not, whether they contain magical aura or not.
"And...... It's obviously my family's belongings, but now it's just a matter of returning it to its original owner."
