Chapter 51: Breaking the Formation
Chapter 51: Breaking the Formation
Boom!
The second blue bomb shattered against the advanced elemental shield.
The figure in black breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that blocking the attack of the third blue bomb shouldn't be a problem. There was little time left until the teleportation circle would activate normally, and then he could spare some time to teach this arrogant William a lesson.
Just as the figure in black was still fantasizing about how to deal with William at the prepared secret location, a sudden change occurred!
The third blue bomb seemed to be no different from the previous two attacks, but when it collided with the advanced elemental shield, it suddenly exploded violently.
Sizzle... Boom!
The violent explosion occurred in front of the figure in black, causing the advanced elemental shield to disintegrate under the terrifying impact.
Fortunately, most of this huge shockwave was blocked by the so-called ineffective advanced force field, otherwise, given the figure in black's fragile body, he would probably have died on the spot.
However, even so, the figure in black's clothes were already torn apart by the remaining impact, and the blue flames that fell on him burned his flesh like maggots, spreading all over his body.
"Ugh... Grr..."
The figure in black uttered a painfully intense groan from his throat, the muscles on his face twitching violently.
The reason for the abnormal explosion of the third Blue Bomb was that William attached the arcane ability, "Collapse Burst," to it.
This was one of the new arcana developed by William, capable of attaching burst energy to other spells of the Arcane category and triggering it when the spell approached the enemy, collapsing the attached spell and converting all the energy into a special shockwave, specifically targeting the enemy's protective spell.
This was the first time he had used it in actual combat, and it seemed to be very effective.
It directly broke through the figure in black's two fourth-circle protective spells and severely injured him.
The shockwave destroyed all of the figure in black's clothes, exposing his true face to William.
Sure enough, it was him!
Camus!
William just glanced at him, but he had no intention of asking him why he had attacked him.
At this moment, breaking the formation under his feet was the most urgent thing to do!
Little time remained until activation, and the teleportation circle had been preliminarily activated. Even if he rushed up and killed Camus, it would be futile.
William, who often used this trick to trap people in his past life, understood very well that he wouldn't waste this time!
One of the magic patterns of the teleportation circle had already been destroyed by William for the most part, and it seemed to take two or three more strikes.
William gritted his teeth. He couldn't afford to be stingy anymore. Who knew what was waiting behind the teleportation array.
[You used the "Arcadia's Good Luck Brooch" artifact]
[You enter the lucky state, duration: 5 seconds]
Ignoring the negative effects of using the Good Luck Brooch, William, empowered by the lucky state, once again gathered strength for a sword strike and slashed at the half-destroyed magic pattern.
Just then, the sequence of magic patterns of the teleportation circle seemed to hesitate in its rotation, and the magic pattern that William struck at suddenly dimmed for half a second.
In this half-second of unprotected time, William's sword tip "coincidentally" landed on this magic pattern.
Swish~
Without protection, the magic pattern couldn't resist William's destruction, and together with the bricks beneath it, was cleanly cut in half by William.
"Damn, that's fierce!"
William was somewhat surprised. It felt good to ascend to the rank of the lucky guy after breaking away from the unclucky guy identity.
Even if it's only five seconds.
With the destruction of the magic pattern by William, the entire short-range directional magic teleportation array shattered in a twist, completely destroyed like this valuable array of thousands of gold coins.
Fortunately, it was just a basic magic array, unstable and with a long activation time.
Otherwise, even if he could recognize it, there would be no chance to interrupt the activation of the magic array.
Seeing that the lucky state still had three seconds left, William didn't have time to rest. He quickly took out a hammer from his storage ring and smashed it towards Camus.
Burnt into a serious injury and with the magical array shattered, Camus couldn't use protective spells due to the chaos of mana, and could only prepare to dodge to the left.
Just as Camus was about to step aside, a banana peel seemed to have been waiting on the ground for him to step on.
As expected, Camus stepped on the banana peel and staggered forward.
His forehead "coincidentally" met the thrown hammer.
William seemed to see the words "Critical Hit" and "Hit the Target" appear above Camus's head.
Camus, this intermediate mage, was directly knocked unconscious by William's hammer.
William grinned, feeling somewhat amused and helpless. This lucky guy effect was too strong, wasn't it?
Bananas from the southern coastal region of the continent were very precious and rare fruits in the city of Sanctum.
William hadn't even eaten one yet!
And now, a banana peel appeared here, causing Camus to have a stroke of bad luck!
No, it should be said that William was just too lucky.
These probability events might not be impossible, but when they really happened before his eyes, Master William felt somewhat surreal.
[Your lucky state has ended]
[You've gained the Unlucky Guy effect, duration: 72 hours]
William looked at the refreshed notification on his system panel, and his body instinctively shuddered.
If the lucky guy effect was so strong, could the unlucky guy effect be simple? Could I really choke on a glass of cold water?
William didn't notice that not far away, the figure of Butler Joyce was slowly fading away.
When the teleportation array was formed, Joyce had already sensed the magical fluctuations and immediately sneaked to a nearby place to observe the situation.
Instead of rushing to rescue William, he waited quietly for William's own response.
As a legendary-level assassin, he had the ability and confidence to rescue William at the last moment.
However, William's performance also pleasantly surprised him. He easily subdued the intermediate mage who had attacked him secretly.
Although he had used that peculiar artifact, the winner was the one who stood till the end. Everything else was not important.
But soon, Joyce frowned again.
Which faction would target young Master William like this?
I should have eliminated all of the master's enemies, right? Strange.
Joyce turned his head to look at Welf and the others who were rushing over, shaking his head.
If young Master William relied on you for protection, he would have been done for long ago.
Little did he know that in the previous life's plot, even this legendary-tier powerhouse couldn't save his master William by staying at home, and even the chance of resurrection was destroyed.
"Young Master William!"
Welf and a few guards rushed over, looking shocked when they saw the mess around Master William.
Just as they returned to the mansion not long ago, they heard the sound of a loud explosion coming from the direction where the young master had left, and hurried over to check.
Fortunately, the young master was unharmed!
After checking that Master William wasn't injured, Welf breathed a sigh of relief.
He almost thought he was going to lose his young master.
William waved his hand helplessly, asking his guards not to surround him, and had the unconscious Camus carried back.
Although the battle just now was brief, William had already revealed most of his strength and trump cards. Naturally, he wouldn't let Camus off so easily.
