Chapter 65 Dead End
Chapter 65 Dead End
call out!call out!call out!
As the [Strong Yang High Crown] shone brightly, beams of blazing fireballs and crimson rays poured down from the top of the cotton tree, crashing onto the two people who were desperately trying to dodge on the ground.
This is the power of this unique magic: the fire ring can not only injure people by contact, but can also actively release attacks outwards!
Chen Mu and Lin Yongxi exchanged a glance, and without the slightest hesitation, they dashed left and right across the lawn, trying to dodge.
"Hahaha! Run! Keep running!"
Kapok remained standing in the same spot, enjoying the hunt with a cruel, smug look on her face.
"Let's see how long you can hold out! How does it feel to roll around on the ground like rats?"
Chen Mu's expression was cold as he dodged attacks while rapidly scanning his surroundings. Lin Yongxi gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and tried to keep up with Chen Mu's pace. At the same time, she kept trying to mobilize her magic power, but the fire ring formed by [Strong Yang Crown] seemed to exert a strong suction force on the surrounding magic power, making her feel that the flow of magic power in her body had become sluggish.
The magic of the Epiphyllum is inherently unstable, and under these circumstances, it is even more severely restricted.
"Brother-in-law! This can't go on!"
As Lin Yongxi ducked to avoid the rays that grazed his scalp, he cried out anxiously, "I can't use magic!"
"I know."
Chen Mu's voice was calm, his eyes sharp as knives, "We must interrupt her; we can't let her continue like this."
All magic requires magical energy to maintain, especially continuous casting like this. If it is interrupted, she will be unable to cast it again for a short period of time.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and, seeing the trajectory of a fireball, did not dodge or evade. The muscles in his right arm bulged instantly, and the blue patterns under his skin shone brightly!
"drink!"
He let out a low growl and slammed his right fist into the fireball, which was the size of a washbasin!
boom--! ! !
With a dull thud, he actually shattered the fireball! Scattered sparks landed on his arms and body, making a hissing sound, but only leaving some minor scorch marks.
This is the physical attribute of the "freak," so powerful that it exceeds the limits of human capabilities.
Using the smoke and dust from the fireball explosion as cover, Chen Mu leaped out like a cheetah, his target the kapok tree just a few steps away!
At the same time, Lin Yongxi understood Chen Mu's intention. Despite the pain in her arm, she rushed over to offer her help.
One person's attack couldn't move the cotton tree, but she's currently maintaining her magic. Two people might have a chance! If they can even slightly disrupt her casting animation!
The coordination was almost seamless!
"Oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Kapok's eyes, but it quickly turned into a cold laugh.
Just as the two attackers were about to close in—
Suddenly, without warning, the figure of the kapok tree rose several meters higher!
flight!
They almost bumped into each other, barely missing each other's feet. Fortunately, Chen Mu reacted quickly and managed to avoid them.
But in the instant she looked up, Kapok had already lifted the ring of fire and soared high into the air!
Looking down from a high vantage point!
One of the biggest advantages of the [Bud] level is the ability to fly using magic. In battle, the ability to fly makes a huge difference, an irreparable one.
Just like this flight, it allowed her to easily escape this perfect combined attack.
"Haha, try a little harder, struggle a little more!"
In the sky, Kapok laughed wildly. She seemed to have anticipated this situation and deliberately took flight at the last second just to enjoy the expression of despair.
Chen Mu remained calm, dodging the incoming flames and pulling up the pale-faced Lin Yongxi: "Are you alright?"
"Yes, it's okay..."
Lin Yongxi gritted his teeth and stood up straight. At this point, he could only continue to dodge, as he couldn't reach the kapok tree above his head at all!
Chen Mu's expression was equally grim; he still couldn't think of any way to turn the tide.
"If I could transform into a Narcissus and use the magic of 'Heavenly Immovable Earth,' I could catch up and continue the fight, but..."
He looked at his hands, but this body could not possibly transform into a magical girl.
Just now, during the battle, I even tried to secretly call out the chant "Heavenly Star Falls to Earth," but unfortunately, it didn't elicit any response...
There is no "Little Firefly" or "Heart Seed" in this world, so we can't rely on them anymore.
"Is that all? I've had enough fun."
Kapok floated higher in the air, looking down at the two below. She knew that if things got too out of hand, it might really attract the attention of the Demon Court, and she had to deal with it immediately.
"It's time to end this."
As she finished speaking, the fire ring above her head shone even brighter, and more fireballs and rays began to coalesce, covering a wider area and attacking at a faster frequency!
It seemed the garden beneath their feet would be completely reduced to scorched earth; the flames on the ground had merged into one, leaving almost no safe place to stand.
Chen Mu and Lin Yongxi leaned against a partially burned artificial rockery, breathing rapidly, both with varying degrees of burns and abrasions.
Unable to reach from the air, surrounded by flames on the ground, the attacks were relentless.
The situation seems to have reached a complete deadlock.
"Brother-in-law, I've thought of a way." At this moment, Lin Yongxi suddenly said, her face pale but her eyes suddenly brightening.
"Oh? Just do whatever comes to mind."
Chen Mu raised an eyebrow. If there was a chance to win, then his cooperation would be enough.
"No..." The girl seemed a little embarrassed, and said through gritted teeth, "This requires your consent."
...
No one knew what plan they had discussed when suddenly two figures darted out from behind the artificial rockery!
Mu Mian's eyes narrowed. She had thought they were going to rush towards her or use the [weirdos'] jumping ability to forcibly climb to her height, but they didn't.
Chen Mu and Lin Yongxi rushed towards the villa behind them at the same time!
"Oh? After thinking about it for so long, you finally decided to run away? Haha—"
Kapok smiled. Her flames were more effective in open areas. While hiding inside buildings could offer some protection, it only delayed the process of death.
The villa is a detached house, with no other buildings connecting it to the surrounding area, and no tunnel for escape, so the inhabitants are trapped inside.
All she had to do was keep firing at the house with the [Strong Sun High Crown] until it was completely ablaze. The intense heat and thick smoke would eventually kill the two people inside.
"I was just planning to stage this accident as a fire anyway. By doing this, you're basically jumping into your own graves and coffins, making things easier for me!"
Kapok gave a cold laugh, just as she was about to do so.
She suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past at what appeared to be the second floor of the broken wall of the villa below.
The little girl with long black hair is Lin Yongxi!
Instead of hiding properly, you dare to show yourself? You're asking for death!
With a flick of her wrist, Kapok directed a beam of flame toward Lin Yongxi's body.
But by the time that moment of awareness belatedly arose, it was too late to stop.
Her heart was pounding wildly, and she realized a most serious problem:
Wait! Why doesn't she have a single trace of magic?!
