Chapter 249: Chapter 249

Year-end burst update, starting today, ten updates every day for the next ten days.

Watching the two behemoths battle each other, Du You couldn’t just stand there and do nothing.

He kept testing magic spells, when the Disintegration Spell proved useless, he tried Mucus Swamp. But Mucus Swamp seemed to be worthless as well. The Mucus Swamp he just created was instantly absorbed by the Death Scorpion.

After circulating through its body for a while, all the mucus disappeared, he was uncertain whether it was sent somewhere or simply absorbed by the sand. The Fire Snake Curse also proved ineffective. It could not restrain large creatures.

Furthermore, the effect of the fire was useless, because the Death Scorpion was just a mass of sand.

Du You had also tried the Holy Light Arrow Array, but the arrows dissolved into the sand without reaching any core or real target, proving ineffective.

Although the concentrated killing power of the Holy Light Arrow Array was potent, its power against an individual attack was not that exaggerated. Against this strong all-round defense, especially when the defensive layer was quite thick, the Holy Light Arrow Array was useless.

In the end, even the Ice-fire Explosion that Du You used was to no avail. Even when he embedded the Ice-fire Explosion on the Death Scorpion’s body and triggered a direct explosion, it merely blew away some sand and was utterly ineffective.

The curse of the Cursed Crow King didn’t have much effect either. Apart from the Curse of Weakness, which could effectively weaken the opponent’s status to some extent, all other curses were completely ineffective.

The Dispersing Curse appeared to be of no use, because both sides were so huge that no matter how dispersed they became, they could still easily attack each other. The Blindness Curse did not work because the scorpion seemed to sense the surroundings in a way other than through sight. The Pain Curse seemed to be of no effect. It was as if the scorpion didn’t know what pain felt like.

As for the Misfortune Curse, it was the hardest to come by, and it was the most effective against all kinds of enemies.

But today, even the Misfortune Curse didn’t work. The opponent seemed utterly immune to misfortune.

Once a normal person encounters the Misfortune Curse, they will experience a string of bad luck, especially in battle. If one becomes unlucky, the consequences can be severe. But the Death Scorpion, for some reason, completely ignored this curse.

Actually, even if it did work, it would probably still be useless, considering that the Death Scorpion’s tolerance was sky-high. Its body made entirely of sand, and even if it had been blasted several times by the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs when the latter got an opportunity, it managed to recover in just a moment.

The most frustrating part was, under the blessing of the priest, not only did the Death Scorpion greatly increase its strength, but it also rapidly recovered its stamina.

The draining power of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs kept drawing the opponent’s stamina to replenish their own, but it wasn’t working; it was as though the scorpion was invincible. As long as the priest bestowed his blessings upon it, the Death Scorpion seemed inexhaustible.

Ironically, the priest could be considered one of the most enduring classes in the Magic-class. The blessings these priests offered could last a long time.

This wouldn’t work if it went on . It seemed that the enemy’s priest was getting a bit impatient. After all, he had been discovered by humans by now. If this dragged on for too long, who knew if other people would come.

Unfortunately, it was impossible for the priest to attack Du You. If he let the Death Scorpion attack Du You, the absent restrain on the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs would certainly lead them to attack him.

Xiaozi anxiously squawked in the air. The ground below had entirely turned into a desert storm-covered area, making it difficult to see anything. Apart from sensing the location of her master, she couldn’t see anything else.

Xiaozi, normally a powerful companion in battle, was unaware of what she should attack. If she recklessly charged below, the desert storm would be extremely unfriendly to the flying creatures. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥

So, without hesitation, Du You ordered Xiaozi to maintain her flight.

"Why the hell am I competing with this creature? I should just attack the guy behind all this."

Du You’s gaze shifted towards the priest in the back. The blinding storm made it impossible to determine the priest’s exact location. But it didn’t matter as long as he knew the general direction.

Du You shouted, "Hey, all your minions have been killed by me. Aren’t you concerned? How long will this go on ?" His voice echoed.

"Oh, the dead ones might include your son or family members."

Du You continued shouting, eventually, in the gap between the priest’s incantations, the priest seemed a bit impatient and coldly responded, "They were mere commoners. I just lived here temporarily. They didn’t obey my orders; it didn’t matter if they died." This guy was utterly ruthless.

His condescending tone and attitude were truly irritating. However, Du You laughed.

He was afraid the priest would stay silent. As long as he spoke, that was enough. Even amidst the sandstorm when Du You couldn’t locate his exact position, and his voice was vague, he still knew the general area the priest was in.

"Thanks a lot. I’ll make sure to offer incense for you when you’re dead," Du You said, not caring whether the priest understood his meaning or not.

Without hesitation, he prepared a magic spell and aimed at the direction from where the voice was coming.

In an instant, numerous Light Arrows took shape in the air, eight full arrays of the Holy Light Arrow Array appeared simultaneously. Numerous Arrow Rains emerged from the void. Although the power of these Light Arrows was a bit weak, they nonetheless were a potent magic.

The local sandstorm could greatly obstruct and affect ordinary arrows, but it had no effect on these Light Arrows. The Light Arrows were incredibly fast, almost like a shower of meteors.

A total of 640 arrows were launched, displaying an imposing momentum of a million arrows being shot.

Upon seeing that Du You’s magic was sweeping towards him, the priest’s face changed drastically. He slammed his staff on the ground, and a layer of quicksand instantly rolled up, enveloping him.

The countless arrows flew towards him and hit the quicksand bag, unable to penetrate it.

But having disrupted the priest led to a decline in the power of the Death Scorpion. "Haha, your scorpion is almost done."

Du You shouted, enjoying the misfortune of the enemy. The priest knew that if his Death Scorpion fell, he was utterly finished, as it was his biggest and only reliance.

With no other choice, he had to continue to bless the Death Scorpion. But by doing so, the barrier protecting him disappeared.

It was a choice between the two evils. What the priest didn’t expect was that Du You would unhesitatingly cast the Holy Light Arrow Array at him again, still going all out. Could a normal person withstand this enormous consumption of magic power?

If his barrier hadn’t dissipated in time, this attack would have simply been wasted and would have even alerted the enemy. But reality didn’t offer so many ifs; the priest’s defenses had already crumbled.
