Chapter 207: Chapter 207

"Perfect, I’m finally heating up," Fang Shuo hollered, his axe increasing its speed in an instant. One of the black-clad men, failing to maintain his rhythm, was split in half by a single strike of the axe.

The bisected man, clad in black, continued to grit his teeth and persist on the ground, emitting only pained grunts. He kept crawling towards Fang Shuo, as if he still wanted to attack.

To think of attacking the enemy in such a terrible state, these men were surely the staunchest of the staunch. Who knows how these men were trained. Even in the case of most die-hard warriors, it would be impossible for them to think of completing their mission in such a condition. They must have been subjected to a unique training method in addition to the usual training and brainwashing.

Du You felt chills in his heart.

But Fang Shuo was different, his body was ablaze with warmth. Previously, he was threatened by ice orbs, their chilling effect had left him feeling cold. But now, with the Fire Snake wrapped around him, the water element on his body was driven away instantly.

Free of the ice’s influence, Fang Shuo could now move at his full speed, no longer hindered.

However, Fang Shuo isn’t a heavily armed warrior, so despite the strong magic resistance of his armor, he still felt extremely hot under the influence of Du You’s Fire Snake Curse. Sweat poured out from under his armor, soaking his entire body.

"Damn, it’s so hot. I’m feeling absolutely exhilarated today." Fang Shuo roared, seemingly more jubilant due to the intense heat. The passive attack of the Fire Snake around his body made the black-clad men surrounding him feel exceptionally challenged.

Du You was rather speechless. He is, after all, a Level 7 Awakener. His Fire Snake Curse at Level 7, while merely being a restraint-type skill, was not easy to resist for Lao Er.

Speaking of which, if Du You hadn’t slightly controlled it, Fang Shuo definitely wouldn’t have been able to keep moving.

But there was no choice, an Awakener’s control over his magic wasn’t that precise. He only had a close distance and the aid of his Spiritual Perception Skill to prevent his binding skill from exerting its binding effect. But to weaken the power of the Fire Snake Curse, or control the direction of the Fire Snake’s attacks, these tasks were beyond him.

Moreover, Du You himself didn’t have a choice either. He had to keep releasing the Disintegration Spell, bombarding the surroundings incessantly.

What Du You didn’t expect was that he could control the trajectory of the spell precisely within the range of his Spiritual Perception through his Spell Splitting Skill, splitting each Disintegration Spell into seven.

Yet, even so, the black-clad men could still easily block his spells. He didn’t know how they managed it. There’s no helping it, Du You just knew too little about the Professionals.

What Du You didn’t know was that at this moment, the black-clad men were also feeling a headache. They hadn’t expected Du You to be able to continuously release such high-intensity spells. Did he have so much magic power? Gradually, the black-clad men also felt like they couldn’t hold on much longer.

The leader of the black-clothed individuals, however, would occasionally glance up at the sky, then back at Du You. He found that the situation didn’t seem to correspond to what he had imagined.

"This won’t do, we can’t keep going . I’ll run out of magic power before these men will be unable to hold on." In the end, it was Du You who couldn’t bear it any longer. To continue was too much of a long shot. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩

Additionally, judging from Fang Shuo’s condition, his consumption of Dou Qi was too great. Fang Shuo’s Dou Qi couldn’t compare with his magic power. The look that Fang Shuo had given him earlier was something he could understand. That look meant that he was almost at his limit and wanted Du You to find a chance to escape.

"Let’s risk it all, otherwise there won’t be any chance left."

With this thought, Du You shouted loudly, "Do you have any antidote? Take it."

"Got you, I’ve been waiting for you to say that." Fang Shuo, wielding the axe with one hand, and forcing the surrounding black-clad men back, caught a bottle and poured its contents into his mouth.

Seeing Fang Shuo’s actions, the leader of the black-clad men also sensed something amiss: "Quick, take the antidote."

After speaking, he took out a flask and swallowed an antidote. Then he took out a scroll and tore it open. A red light spread around him and all the black-clad men were enveloped in a red halo.

In preparation for three seconds, Du You managed to hit in all directions with seven Mucus Swamps, though he was slower than them. When the Mucus Swamp came into contact with the ground, countless mucus spread out. The black-clothed men immediately lost their agility. At this time, Fang Shuo’s reaction was even quicker.

The greataxe swung ruthlessly towards the Fire Snake before him.

"Boom", two Fire Snakes exploded on the spot. Under the enormous impact, Fang Shuo didn’t resist, but used the force to retreat quickly and avoided the area of the Mucus Swamp.

However, the sparks caused by the explosion of the Fire Snakes set the Mucus Swamp on fire. This stuff was far more potent than gasoline; in an instant the fire blazed and all around turned red.

At this moment, Du You, seizing the opportunity, stood by Fang Shuo’s side. The shield spell unfolded, cocooning both of them within.

The attack from the flames was blocked but the high temperature could not be. When the flames gradually weakened, both Du You and Fang Shuo were red as boiled lobsters, giving off a strangely appetizing vibe.

"Damn it, I can’t fully resist this." Du You could resist toxins but couldn’t resist flames and high temperature.

Fang Shuo was dumbfounded, "Couldn’t you have chosen your spells more wisely when picking them? Why did you choose this?"

Du You retorted irritably, "I didn’t plan to use it this way, who could foresee that the battle would come to this?" His Mucus Swamp was initially aimed at the enemy, who would have thought it would end up burning?

Pairing it with the fire, Du You didn’t think about burning himself. He could indeed resist the effects of his own spells, but the burning and high temperature were not the effects of the spells, but the changing effects of the spell, against which he was helpless.

"Well, very good. I didn’t expect you two could go this far, I’ve underestimated you."

The leader of the black-clad men coldly stared at Du You and the others, it seemed that these black-clad men were also prepared for his move. The leader was wrapped in a layer of green shield, bearing no damage at all.

As for the remaining black-clad warriors, under the blanket of red light, all of them were panting heavily, but none of them died. The worst-case scenario was being injured. The power of the Fire-Resistant Scroll was impressive indeed.

"If you dare, try it again. Those worthless ones can’t hold on; it’s just a question of whether you can or not." Seeing the pitiful state of Du You and Fang Shuo, the leader of the black-clad men, who had originally been somewhat worried, once again began to act arrogantly.
