Chapter 503: 501 Attempt One
Inside the Oyster.
Uelman sighed as he stood in the spacecraft’s cockpit, gazing at the accelerating stars outside, his expression not particularly joyful.
“Si Ha, how long have you been with mother?” he asked softly.
“About four hundred years, I guess. Why?” The water elent Si Ha appeared female, with long blue ponytail hair, carefully sewing the fallen pages of the Arcane Book back together at the mont.
With one hand, she released a blue-purple mana thread, and with the other, she held onto the pages of the Arcane Book, fully focused. Answering the question required only a slight diversion of attention.
“Four hundred years, Si Ha, you’ve reached Level Three, and i Lan is even a Level Four Arcanist… perhaps there’s hope to reach Level Five in the future… Unlike …” Uelman sighed again.
“You’re not doing badly either, though slower than us, you should be able to reach Level Three soon. Speaking of which, what spells did you solidify for the first two levels?” Si Ha asked casually.
“Protection from Range and Protection from Sharp.” Uelman answered honestly.
“…No attack spells?” Si Ha’s mouth twitched.
“No, mother said I just need to ensure my absolute safety; the rest doesn’t need consideration.” Uelman nodded.
“…That’s too one-sided… What about Level Three then? What do you plan to solidify? You can only solidify one spell per level, so choose carefully.” Si Ha was speechless.
“Mother said it’s still Protection Against Blunt Objects. At Level Four, continue to enhance Protection from Range. In space battles or Source Disasters battles, most attacks are ranged, so strengthening this protection is absolutely correct.” Uelman replied seriously.
“It’s true, but…” Si Ha wanted to persuade him. With such a one-sided focus, in case of any unforeseen changes, purely defensive arcane couldn’t survive independently in danger.
But when she thought of the teacher’s disposition, if she found out that she had influenced her son’s spell solidification…
After thinking it over, she gave up.
“What’s wrong?” Uelman asked, puzzled.
“Nothing. This is great. Certainly a teacher’s arrangent.” Si Ha nodded repeatedly, brushing it off.
The Oyster continued its voyage, its speed increasing rapidly, accelerating.
At this mont, the main control intelligent system’s prompt sounded inside the cabin.
“Space jump is about to begin, target—Remote Interstellar Gate. All personnel, please return to your resting positions and fasten your seatbelts to avoid injury from excessive motion.”
This massive sky-blue spacecraft quickly distanced itself from the Floating City, gradually rging into the vast surrounding starlight, becoming one with the darkness.
The blue light on its body swiftly disappeared under the concealnt of the Illusion Array, completely vanishing in the starry sky.
Click.
Yu Hong carefully clutched the outer shell of the spacecraft, releasing a gray light from his Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill on his hands.
Silently, he cut open a small opening on the spacecraft’s shell, just enough for him to enter alone.
At this mont, his face was covered, and his whole body was enveloped in an indistinct white, simulated by the Spirit Light Secret Skill, which resembled Light Disaster Radiation, making it impossible to see what he actually looked like.
His aura was also completely scrambled by the radiation.
Tumbling into the opened hole, Yu Hong closed it back with a reverse hand maneuver to prevent pressure leakage that could cause imbalance.
But even though he was exceptionally speedy, a piercing alarm sounded instantly inside the spacecraft.
“Outer wall breached, enemy intrusion detected, jump halted, please eliminate the intruder imdiately.”
A red glimr suddenly ignited on Yu Hong’s body, its origin unknown.
“Interesting.” Yu Hong tried to erase this red fla with his hand, but it seed non-existent, continuing to burn on his shoulder, untouchable.
Yu Hong’s Tai Ling Skill flowed out in large quantities, persistently flooding that small area completely.
The Source Disaster’s power proved absolute, extinguishing the little fla on the spot.
Yet…
Yu Hong stood in the passageway of the spacecraft, already faced by a water-blue humanoid figure, entirely composed of elents.
Astonishingly, it was the accompanying Level Four Arcanist i Lan.
Behind her, nurous strong water elents, clad in black protective armor and wielding silver firearms, charged forward.
They aid their guns.
Click.
Over a dozen silver firearm barrels simultaneously targeted Yu Hong in the ten-ter-wide passageway.
Simultaneously, at the other end of the passage, i Lan and Uelman arrived in ti, the water elents beside them raising large riot shields, surrounding and protecting them completely.
“Who are you?!” Uelman asked in a deep voice, staring at Yu Hong.
“Quick response….” Yu Hong nodded approvingly.
“It seems with the intelligent system, the speed indeed far exceeds without.” He directed his attention to i Lan standing in front, raising the magic wand.
“Oh well, originally intended to sneak in quietly, but now that I’ve been discovered, I’ll just have to eliminate you all….”
Before the last word fell, Yu Hong had already darted forward, transforming into a white phantom, appearing before i Lan in the blink of an eye.
Only then did gunfire start echoing around him.
However, it was too late, too slow.
Yu Hong flashed a smile as he reached out, clawing at i Lan’s translucent neck.
In the next mont, a thin blue barrier appeared in front of his hand.
Boom!
Blue light splattered.
The barrier shattered, but i Lan seized the opportunity to flicker and shift several ters away, raising her magic wand to unleash a second spell.
Unfortunately.
The second spell hadn’t even fully ford, with the blue light just burgeoning at the tip of the wand.
With a thundering bang, it abruptly interrupted her casting.
She saw the intruder’s missed claw wasn’t withdrawn; instead, it clenched in mid-air.
It seed a high-explosive grenade detonated in his palm.
With a deafening boom.
A massive surge of white energy exploded from the intruder’s hand, instantly engulfing the surrounding water elents.
The entire passage filled up with white light, the screeching of tal distortions and tearing sounds fully filling i Lan’s hearing.
Her heart sank instantly.
‘To break my mana barrier so swiftly, it’s definitely a Level Four or even stronger expert!! Trouble!’
She rapidly released layer upon layer of Arcane Barriers, protecting herself, while slapping a necklace hanging on her chest.
‘Detection initiated.’
‘Sample collection completed, hostile target identified, searching large database spell library, confird as Light Disaster Radiation-derived destruction entity, corresponding spell selection completed.’
‘Spell model activation, mana fill-in ready?’
“Yes!” i Lan internally shouted, her mana washing through like waves, rapidly infusing into the necklace.
This was the Arcane Intelligence, a basic spell-casting aid platform possessed by every Arcanist.
Though the preceding chain of processes seed complex, it actually only took less than a tenth of a second thanks to the exceptionally fast chip speed.
Next mont, exceedingly dark deep light emanated from i Lan’s magic wand.
Darkness shouldn’t have light, but at this mont, the energy released from her magic wand indeed continuously emitted an illumination blackening the surroundings.
“Level Four Ghost Energy Arrow, charging complete.”
Swish!!
In the blink of an eye, the dark light twisted into a massive black arrow, bursting forth, instantly appearing less than five centiters before Yu Hong’s face.
The arrow traversed the white Light Disaster Radiation energy in-between, directly materializing before Yu Hong’s face.
Then.
BOOM!!!
A massive explosion.
Yu Hong was entirely engulfed in black light.
All the Light Disaster Radiation energy on him was effectively compressed and neutralized, leaving the surroundings silent, as the radiance dissipated, revealing the previous scene anew.
The black light encapsulated him, forming a massive elliptical sphere, incessantly contracting and expanding.
But at this mont, i Lan’s expression suddenly changed.
“Wrong!!” She decisively retreated.
But she was already a step too late.
In the next instant, the black light exploded like a popped balloon, releasing a frenzy of endless red-purple misty energy from within.
Through the red-purple mist, a towering silhouette steadily approached her.
At the silhouette’s back, a hint of a colossal ice-blue sphere burned silently.
“An energy well… Do you think you’re the only one who has it?!” A flash of determination twinkled in i Lan’s eyes.
She tossed her wand, arms spread wide.
A vague deep blue vortex appeared behind her.
The voice of the Arcane Intelligence rapidly echoed.
‘Water elent energy well activated.’
‘Full power spell-casting mode enabled.’
‘Maximum simultaneous spell-casting enabled.’
‘Annihilation mode engaged.’
Within a flash, copious amounts of blue light gushed from behind i Lan, all converging into a unified mass of Ghost Energy Arrows, densely firing like artillery shells at Yu Hong.
Likewise, before Yu Hong, vast quantities of Light Disaster Radiation energy bodies materialized, recklessly surging forth as if sparing no cost.
Imnsely multiplying quantities of red-purple Tai Ling Skill Inner Strength, under the Light Disaster’s support, rapidly ford a red-purple tide in an instant, practically filling the entire passage, confronting masses of Ghost Energy Arrows head-on.
On one side, blue-black mixed with infinite arrows.
On the other, red-purple, gathered into a sea of Inner Strength.
Upon collision, terrifying annihilation effects erupted imdiately.
Nurous black holes erged like bubbles at the midpoint of the two forces’ expansion.
The surrounding space started becoming unstable.
Both Yu Hong and Uelman, i Lan, and others perceived sothing wrong, observing how the originally straight walls inside the spacecraft bizarrely twisted, bending.
Yet there were no signs of breaking.
The two combatting limitless forces also experienced distortion.
“Indeed, one must not underestimate, even a re cargo ship harbors individuals possessing limitless power.” Yu Hong’s mind stirred slightly, knowing persistence might lead to complications.
He imdiately increased the output.
“Too bad, the difference remains even among limitless!”
He instantly exerted full power, releasing Tai Ling Skill.
The Seventh Layer of Tai Ling Skill fully unleashed, unable to handle the high pressure, the spacecraft passage shattered and fragnted in various directions.
Boom!!
Individuals scattered, floating in the weightless interior of the spacecraft.
All around were distorted and shattered black tal walls.
The imnse energy compression squeezed and compacted all surrounding compartnts and passages like a compressed box, forming a deford massive spherical space.
At this mont, the red-purple on Yu Hong’s body swiftly suppressed i Lan’s blue-black.
“Uelman, you must leave quickly!! I’ll cover you!” i Lan whispered, blood spilling from her mouth and nose, enduring the strain to send the ssage across.
