Chapter 386: Chapter 386
"What an idiot." Du You thought, staring at the shaking figure.
To be able to cut open a Thunder Light Orb with a long knife is indeed proof of strength. But Xiaozi’s level is too high. Moreover, no one would be so suicidal as to cut through lightning with a metal weapon.
"Song Xia, Song Xia, how are you?" Jing Tian, who was nearby, saw his friend put on a show of great power but then suddenly collapsed. He couldn’t help running over to grab him, only to be electrocuted himself.
At Du You’s command, the underground Death Scorpion stirred the winds and sand, sweeping towards them.
Simultaneously, Du You broke cover and charged towards the two who had attacked him.
Regarding the beastmen and half-beastmen in front of him, Du You didn’t hesitate to unleash a Holy Light Arrow Array. With just one move, the front line was completely cleared. The beastmen could not have missed such a loud commotion.
"It’s a human mage, seize him!" shouted the Wild Wolf Captain, spotting Du You’s charge. At the same time, he spurred his Mount Wolf into a mad dash towards him.
"I will have to run after the fight. These are too many to handle," he thought.
A thought flashed through Du You’s mind. Even though the natives were incredibly powerful, they were still within his control range. But these outsiders were completely different.
Seeing Du You charge in, Jing Tian moved his Magic Gathering Cannon towards Du You in his nervousness. In response, Du You squinted and cast a Disintegration Spell when still far away.
The Disintegration Spell hit the Magic Gathering Cannon under Jing Tian’s disdainful gaze, but it appeared to have no effect.
"People of the China Region dare to oppose us, the great people of the East Sea District. Die!" Jing Tian yelled.
He tried his best to move the Magic Gathering Cannon towards Du You. At this moment Du You understood that the magic resistance of that thing was extremely high. Maybe in the past, he wouldn’t have a way around it.
There was no way for him to rush over in a short time, and the power of his spell was insufficient to destroy the Magic Gathering Cannon.
So, Du You raised his hand and cast a Dissolution Spell. Upon seeing Du You continue to attack, Jing Tian’s contempt grew even stronger. "Idiot! He’s actually still using spells to attack my Magic Gathering Cannon."
Just as he expected, this spell also seemed to be ineffective. But Du You smiled, because he saw a slight change in the light of his opponent’s Magic Gathering Cannon.
This change might not be visible to others, but it was very obvious to him.
Du You had already understood that these two were but first-tier awakeners. Their levels may have been hidden, but he could make estimations based on their acts.
Awakeners couldn’t use second-tier items, so their Magic Gathering Cannon must be a first-tier weapon. Once this was established, he shouldn’t have had trouble dealing with it, regardless of its magic resistance.
Just as the Magic Gathering Cannon was about to lock onto him, Du You quickly whipped out a Disintegration Spell.
The Disintegration Spell was the same as before, but this time, the result was entirely different. The spell hit the Magic Gathering Cannon, and cracks suddenly appeared on it. These cracks weren’t very evident.
If it had been armor or shield that got hit, there probably wouldn’t have been any significant effect.
However, against the Magic Gathering Cannon which had started to gather magic, the situation was entirely different. The massive magic energy had erupted instantaneously because of these cracks. With a "boom", the red light diffused in all directions. Unluckily, the beastmen who had just rallied were instantly burned to ashes.
"No! How could this...? How could it fail?" Jing Tian said, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.
Song Xia, who had just stood up, was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected that the Magic Gathering Cannon, which had cost them so much to obtain, could fail to serve its purpose and explode here.
If they hadn’t been lucky, they might both have been blasted to death.
At this moment, Du You had already charged towards them. Song Xia yelled angrily when he saw Du You approaching. He held his long knife tightly and slashed fiercely. His posture was so aggressive that it seemed like he was fighting for his life.
"You are not a Magic Gathering Cannon, why should I fear your attack?" Du You did not dodge. He directly placed the Shield Spell in front of him. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
The long knife with its sharp energy was swung down, causing ripples on Du You’s Shield Spell. This indicated that the attack from the man in front of him was formidable, but it failed to exceed the limit of the Shield Spell.
Song Xia was shocked. He wondered why his normally invincible attack was blocked - this was only an awakener, it shouldn’t be . But then in the next moment, everything went dark in front of Song Xia, and he lost consciousness.
It turned out ten Disintegration Spells had passed through the shield, reducing Song Xia to a mess in an instant.
"Even weaker than I anticipated. I presume most of their abilities are developed for attack. Their magic resistance is almost non-existent. They don’t have any defensive skills - it seems I overestimated them."
Du You didn’t bother with him and rushed at the remaining person.
"Don’t kill me, I am an alchemist. An alchemist! I can make alchemical items for you."
Jing Tian didn’t show any fighting spirit. He simply knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground.
"With that accent, are you a Japanese?" A flicker of disgust crossed Du You’s mind.
"No, I am from the East Sea District. We are all good partners of the Asia Alliance. Everything that has happened before is just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Jing Tian kept defending himself out loud while secretly calculating the time left for the battle and prepared to submit the main line quest to leave immediately. Let the damned person from the China Region be hunted by his organization.
"Really? Too bad I can’t stand the sight of you." Du You instantaneously released ten Disintegration Spells. Jing Tian was prepared and immediately tried to escape, but unfortunately, he was a bit too slow.
One of his legs was hit by a Disintegration Spell and was severed instantly.
"Your magic resistance is indeed much stronger than the other guy," Du You exclaimed and didn’t wait for Jing Tian to utter any word. He again fired ten Disintegration Spells in succession, turning Jing Tian into pieces.
"You seriously take me for a fool. The moment you saw me, you attacked me with your Magic Gathering Cannon. You obviously wanted to take my life. Let you go? You think I’m tired of living?"
Du You was not only disgusted by certain islanders, he also had a deep understanding of these people’s psychology. They were nothing but insatiable backstabbers. Cooperating with them only promised a tragic end.
Once they betray him, they would even curse him for being an idiot from behind. Although he didn’t know much about the people in this world’s East Sea District, culture was not something easily changed.
