Chapter 905: Chapter 905
At that instantaneous moment, Du You’s mind highly concentrated, various plans swiftly flashed through his mind but were each rejected one by one. Initially, Du You prepared to abandon the magic he was channeling and use Shadow Teleport to escape.
However, Du You felt that he was completely locked on and couldn’t escape at all.
Even if he used Shadow Teleport, he wouldn’t truly be able to leave this place instantly; it was a type of high-tier skill lockdown ability. The most update n0vels are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Advanced skills and high-tier beings all possess this ability; his own skill level was too low. Shadow Teleport only at tier 30, and with him being a fourth tier, he could still somewhat easily dodge attacks of the same tier.
But with a fifth tier lockdown, his skill offered no chance to escape. Spatial skills weren’t omnipotent, otherwise their price would skyrocket to astronomical figures.
Next, Du You thought about using Mid-air Fireball to intercept. He had many fireballs, and their power was not weak; they could definitely block it. But there wasn’t enough time; the opponent’s fireball appeared slow but was urgently fast, and he simply had no chance to defend.
Afterward, Du You thought about his defense, but even if he used all three layers of his defense, they would definitely not hold up.
Giants themselves are powerful beings; few of the same tier could pose a threat to a Giant. Not to mention the opponent’s tier was higher than his own; his supposedly strong defensive skills could not resist at all.
This was the power of a fifth-tier Giant; any one of its skills was more than he could withstand.
That feeling of powerlessness, Du You had not experienced it for who knows how long. At this moment, Du You understood, when facing a true master, he still amounted to nothing; he was still just an ordinary person.
It seems, I’ve been a bit arrogant lately; it would have been better if I’d retreated while casting the spell.
Perhaps this time, I was going to die again, and my only Resurrection Doll really couldn’t be saved.
Just as Du You was preparing to give up directly guiding the fireball, the air behind him suddenly tore apart. A blaze of golden light appeared before Du You, so dazzling that his eyes felt slightly pained.
Following that, the fireball in front of him was cleaved into two halves, then completely collapsed.
Staring intently, Du You did not know when a streak of golden Sword Qi appeared in the air that shattered the fireball. Then, a glittering golden sword floated in midair, having just protected him and the other students.
Du You looked back and saw an elder pinching a sword sign; it was clear that the attack had been released by him.
"It’s Li Daxian, Li Daxian has made his move," the students nearby cheered.
Although Du You did not recognize this person, from their discussion, he knew this was a leader in the school, in charge of expansion, the associate director of the Expansion Department; yet everyone preferred calling him Li Daxian.
Li Daxian was a Sword Cultivator, a traditional and distinct profession in the China Region. Professions in the China Region are very unique, characterized by being weak at the beginning and strong in the later stages, making them unpopular choices, even among his own people. After all, very few are confident in advancing such a profession to a very powerful level.
However, for someone like Li Daxian, who was able to elevate a traditional profession to a very powerful level, they were highly popular.
Within the academy, although Li Daxian had a bad temper, his reputation was high. The classes taught by Li Daxian were always well-attended. Even because of him, there were quite a few students from the capital who were Sword Cultivators.
"A mere Giant daring to show up; there’s no need for it to leave," Li Daxian snorted coldly and with a gesture of the sword sign, the sword in the air exploded with a dazzling golden light, which Du You now saw clearly.
Sword Qi burst forth directly from the sword itself, enveloping it, and then, like instant movement, it thrust straight at the Giant below. The speed and sharpness of the attack made Du You’s heart race.
"Sword Cultivators truly are among the most powerful professions in terms of attack," Du You felt that this attack was not inferior to his Energy Gathering Magic Cannon after gathering power, but it was faster and more flexible. Sadly, his own tier wasn’t high enough, thus he couldn’t make a detailed comparison, but it also made Du You reconsider his approach.
There are many special professions, each with their unique abilities. Once these abilities are well used, they could pose a threat even to one of his caliber. He was far from invincible, even among those of the same tier.
Before Du You could think further, the Giant suddenly let out a roar. The golden Sword Qi plunged into the flames surrounding the Giant. The Giant suddenly screamed, and the flames burst violently, sending a pillar of fire soaring into the sky.
As the pillar of fire emerged, the already high temperature around them soared even higher. Although the range of this fire pillar was nowhere near his skyful of fireballs, the momentum alone directly suppressed his skills.
The next moment, the fire pillar collapsed, and the Giant had vanished without a trace.
"Hmph, it ran away fast," just when everyone thought the Giant had been killed, Li Daxian snorted dissatisfiedly. Only then did everyone realize that the Giant had somehow managed to escape using some means.
Li Daxian was not pleased, but the other students felt differently. Many who were behind even stopped fighting, excitedly discussing the previous battle. A fifth-tier battle, to them, was almost like a Divine War.
Those with lesser strength didn’t even notice what happened, and the battle had already ended.
Du You took a deep breath, not dwelling on these matters, deciding to focus on completing his task instead. The recent battle had suppressed the Giants’ morale, and now they had little will to continue fighting. Many Giants began to retreat. Although there were still fifth-tier Giants here, his side also had more than one such tier, so they dared not make rash moves.
"Am I at my limit," Du You felt a sense of emptiness inside him, his magic power was nearly exhausted.
"Only 43 seconds, not even a minute," Du You sighed, but there was nothing he could do, his skill’s extreme guidance lasted two minutes, and it wasn’t a one-time use but could be used multiple times continuously.
His current magic power, fully guiding all the magic arrays, but it ran out in less than a minute. Du You did not continue guiding; the power of these fireballs was frightful enough. Each fireball could easily severely injure a fourth-tier Giant.
Without a bit of special means, even some fourth-tier beings being hit directly and killed were quite normal. Avec a wave of his hand, the 330 black fireballs finally descended from the sky, appearing like a Heavenly Disaster, making the entire sky dim. For the first time, the Flame Giants felt what heat was like, they knew for the first time that flames could also kill them.
