The Death List Novel - Chapter 697
Chapter 697 The Outbreak Of Rand
There were only two possibilities for the snake head to exhibit the ability to swallow. What if it was a spatial-temporal heterogeneity? What if it was a spatial-temporal transfer?
Compared to a higher level of space-time dimension, the possibility of space-time transfer was even greater. After all, Priest Zhuo Er had used this divine technique so easily just now.
Regardless of which possibility, after being sucked in, no one would be able to return for a short period of time. Even if it was a long-distance teleportation, if Priest Zhuo Er threw it into a powerful creature’s nest or into the underground city, then it would basically be doomed.
“Flame Burst Technique!” Wei Si, the black-robed mage of the Romon team, raised his staff high up. The mage’s robe made a hunting sound, and a powerful elemental wave spread out like a wave, blowing away the two closest Dwarves warriors.
Scatters of orange-yellow light gathered from all directions, and a ball of blazing light the size of a basketball quickly lit up above the gemstone at the top of the staff. The dense fire elementium caused the surrounding temperature to rise greatly. With a wave of Romon’s hand, the blazing ball of light turned into an orange light and shot forward.
As soon as the light left the tip of the staff, it expanded violently and turned into a huge pillar of fire the diameter of a bullet train. It dragged its long tail of flames towards the snake head with its mouth wide open.
“Not enough!” As a fire type combat profession, Rand’s ability to control fire was even stronger than a mage’s. He only felt the power of this fire type magic for a moment, as if he had foreseen the result of the collision between the pillar of fire and the head of a snake.
Flame Burst was the equivalent of a three-ring spell in the world of Ferren’s magic system. This was a popular spell that fire mages would learn after fireball spells. A skill system that could be exchanged for an apostle was almost a C + rank magic skill.
However, Romon’s Flame Burst Technique clearly exceeded the power of the Three Ring Spell. He might have specifically improved it. Judging from the power he had displayed so far, it was more than five rings of magic power. It was a B + level magic skill.
As a Second Grade apostle, the black-robed mage should be considered a powerful skill.
However, even if he reached the [B +] level, he probably wouldn’t be able to completely neutralize the spell that Priest Zhuo Er had bestowed on the Snake Head Whip.
Perhaps it was because most of the dwarves on the expedition team were mid-to high-level physics professions, so the spell Priest Zhuo Er used was at least an [A] class skill comparable to the [Seven Rings] spell. In other words, this was a quasi-forbidden spell that weakened the attack range and duration.
This kind of divine art was the nemesis of the physical melee profession. Most of the time, one could only use magical skills to contend against it. Want to surpass the duration of the spell? Want to use powerful magical skills to interrupt the frequency of the spell? Other than that, other methods had little effect.
Romon’s choice wasn’t wrong, but the power of the spell was still lacking.
If the other members of the exploration team could work together and use a few non-interfering attack skills, it would be enough to break through the divine spell of space and time. At this moment, everyone’s figures were unstable, and a few people who could use magical skills were unable to cooperate with the Flame Burst Technique.
Even though female priests, Hill, Eastings, and the others could also cast their own spells, they could easily interfere with each other. Perhaps, their magic might be even less powerful.
Besides, other than Rand, no one else could predict that the Flame Burst Technique would not be able to cancel out the Spacetime Divine Technique. They did not have Rand’s high fire elemental sensing ability.
Thinking of this, Rand used the corner of his eyes to glance at Jillim, who was behind him and Wei Si. Seeing the hesitation on Old Dwarves’s face, he immediately made his choice.
Jillim was a legendary expert. Although he was a physicist, if he attacked with all his might, he would definitely be able to break through the divine spell of space and time. However, in this way, Priest Zhuo Er would immediately notice him, and it would be very difficult for him to be caught off guard in the following battles.
These two Priests were extremely difficult to deal with, and just a single spacetime divine spell was enough to cause them to be overwhelmed with anxiety. If they didn’t deal with one first, they would definitely die in a chaotic battle. Now was clearly not the time for Old Dwarves to take action.
In the next moment, Lan Deping stretched out his hands and pulled back towards Yan Zhu like he was holding a basketball. The flame pillar seemed to have been guided by an inexplicable direction. The originally straight track actually took a turn and shot towards him.
However, because the devouring suction force of the snake head still existed, the flame pillar only circled in the shape of a C and turned around Rand before rushing towards the snake head again.
However, for Rand, this was enough. As the Flame Pillar passed by, Lan De’s cheeks bulged, and he spat out a scarlet flame bead from his mouth, which instantly merged into the Flame Pillar.
The shape of this glass ball of fire was very similar to the “highly concentrated fire elemental core” that Qin Lun had given Rand, but it was much smaller. The “highly concentrated fire elemental core” that Qin Lun bought from the Three-tailed Yuan Club was actually one of the Zoroastrian faith totems.
The bronze statue of Ahura Mazda that Rand had obtained in the Hunter’s World was the supreme god of Zoroastrianism and the core of his current Tier 2 profession, Lava Head.
However, the Ahura Mazda bronze statue was not an apostle object. It was absorbed into Rand’s body and became part of the body of Laws.
Rand’s ability to condense lava balls out of thin air depended on this part of the Laws. The faith totem that looked like the core of fire elementium could condense fire elementium energy that could cast an A + skill every three natural days.
Of course, just because he could condense so much energy didn’t mean that Rand could cast an [A +] class fire spell. After obtaining this totem of faith, he also merged it into his body of Laws, becoming one of the symbols of Laws. This symbol could increase the power of the magma ball in his body and speed up casting.
If Rand had condensed the Fire Bead Symbols of the faith totem, the magma ball would have almost reached A-class.
It’s just that Rand wouldn’t normally do that. This was because he had to condense the Law Symbols and control the magma ball. The casting time was too long, the mana consumed too much, and the cooldown time of the skill was too long.
However, at this time, Mage Romon had already used the powerful Flame Explosion Technique. He only needed to condense the Fire Bead Symbols of the faith totem, which greatly saved his mana consumption and casting time.
After fusing with the fire bead, the flame pillar suddenly expanded and contracted, as if a heart was beating in its body. A ferocious dragon head appeared on the top of the water droplet that was originally moving at high speed. The surface of the flame pillar also revealed fiery red scales. Two three-toed dragon claws appeared in front of it, and it instantly turned into a snake-shaped flame dragon that shook its head and tail.
By the time the Flame Dragon arrived in front of the snake head, its body had already expanded to half the size of the snake head. Its body was covered in a layer of fiery red glass-like dragon scales. From the outside, one could vaguely see the blazing flame pulp rolling in its body.
Grade A Fire Control Technique-Flame Dragon of the Lava Fuhrer!
“Boom!” After the flame dragon collided with the snake head, a dazzling flash caused everyone to involuntarily close their eyes.
The shockwave after the explosion sent almost everyone in the field flying. Because the Flame Dragon attacked the snake head from bottom to top, the explosion from top to bottom was the most powerful. Almost instantly, it pierced through the conical dome of the labyrinth hall. Countless rubble pattered down, and the center of the field was completely enveloped in dust.
After Rand was blown away by the shockwave of the explosion, and when he controlled the Flame Dragon, his mind consumed a huge amount of energy, and he was unable to even get up for a moment.
However, he wasn’t worried about being attacked by the enemy. Although he didn’t know what the situation was like, he believed that Priest Zhuo Er wouldn’t feel good either. After all, this was a powerful confrontation between two [A] class skills.
“Good job!” At the same time that Rand fell to the ground, an ant-like voice sounded in his ears. However, when he turned around, he didn’t see anyone.
“Ah ~ ~ ~” Just as the dust was churning, a loud scream suddenly came from the other side. The scream was filled with uncontrollable fear and despair.
“Hahaha!” The scream was accompanied by a clanking sound of fighting and Jillim’s hearty laughter.
Old Dwarf succeeded in sneak attacking! An exciting thought came to all the members of the exploration team. If he could ignore the shockwaves of the explosion in such a situation, only Jillim, a legendary warrior, would be able to do so.
No matter how powerful Priest Zhuo Er’s divine ability was, if he was ambushed by a violent maniac like Jilim, he would be crippled even if he didn’t die.
‘”Ahhh ~” Jillim’s successful sneak attack lifted the dwarves’ morale and charged towards the dust mist.
Apostle was more cautious. Qin Lun and Hill were vigilantly guarding Rand’s side. Wei Si and the others did not rush forward immediately. On the other hand, Elizabeth and Idrea, the two beauties, did not allow their eyebrows to fall. One of them turned into a giant bear and the other carried a horse-chopping knife that looked like a door plate as he pounced forward.
When the dust and mist had dissipated, the situation on the other side finally entered the vision of the Apostle.
Amongst the two Zhuo Er priests, the younger Zhuo Er priest’s body was cut in half and his stomach was flowing all over the ground. He should have been beheaded by Jilim. Her eyes were wide open, but her pupils were no longer in focus. It was obvious that she was unwilling to die in peace.
The other old Priest, Zhuo Er, was forced to retreat by Jilim. He was unable to free his hand and cast a divine spell. As for the remaining Zhuo Er warriors and arachnid elves, they were also entangled by the dwarves, and the battle was going on.
In this unpredictable battle, the scales of victory and defeat were beginning to tilt towards the Dwarves exploration team.
Wei Si and the others looked at each other and smiled. Their moods were greatly relaxed as they rushed forward with smiles on their faces. This was a good thing that could not only increase their mission contribution, it was also equivalent to picking up a bargain. They were unwilling to be the empress of others.
“I’m much better. Let’s go too!” Rand finally stood up, but his face was still as pale as paper.
“Stop them!” Priest Zhuo Er swept his gaze across the entire arena. His eyes flickered as he dodged Jillim’s attack. At the same time, he raised his staff and instantly released the divine spell that had been stored in the staff. A blood-red light wave emerged out of thin air, enveloping all of their members.
Stimulated by the blood-red light wave, the remaining arachnid elves instantly went berserk and began to attack their surroundings without any distinction. As for the Zhuo Er warriors, their eyes were completely red. They actually abandoned their enemies who were fighting and joined forces to attack Jillim, who was entangling the Zhuo Er priest.
Old Dwarf was shocked. He was extremely unwilling to give up on pursuing Priest Zhuo Er and jumped out of the battle.
However, Priest Zhuo Er, who had escaped from Gilliam’s entanglement, did not launch a counterattack as everyone had imagined. Her venomous eyes swept across the two defectors in the back door, chanting a divine decree in a low voice.
After the shrouded divine order ended, an oval teleportation door opened in front of Priest Zhuo Er. Priest Zhuo Er didn’t even look at the arachnid Elves and Zhuo Er warriors who were still fighting. He directly stepped into the portal.
