Chapter 118: Why Is This Lightning Storm So Powerful?!
Seeing Black approach Flame Explosion, Silver Fox had long been peeking over.
When he saw Flame Explosion reveal a difficult expression, he was even more delighted.
Black was even trying to find external help?
Flame Explosion would not be able to suppress him!
Flame Explosion was only impressive with Flame Explosion. How could Flame Explosion’s other elemental spells compare to his spells?
At this moment, after the sutured ghost monster roared again, the ghosts suddenly accelerated their attack in groups.
In just a few seconds, hundreds of ghosts gathered and attacked.
A martial artist had just used his skill and his magic power was exhausted. Before he could catch his breath, he was targeted by the ghost and was hit by the “Chaos Technique”.
Chaos Technique would cause one to be in a “chaotic” state. In a chaotic state, one would be delirious and not be able to decide whether they should attack or defend. They would also be unable to decide whether they should release their skills or replenish their health and magic power.
Because of this short second of chaos, this martial artist was surrounded by three ghosts. Two ghosts sucked away his health points, and the third ghost even crawled in through his nose and mouth!
In an instant, this martial artist was controlled by the ghost and actually raised his weapon to crazily attack the martial artist beside him.
Because the nearby martial artists were all his friends, they did not dare to be ruthless and had no choice but to retreat.
In this way, a defensive loophole was formed.
A large number of ghosts rushed in and devoured the health points of the martial artists, occupying their bodies and controlling them to attack the other martial artists.
The seemingly unbreakable east wall immediately expanded because of the small flaw here.
It was as if the small gap on a complete white paper was getting bigger and bigger!
If this continued, the ghost would definitely bite onto this flaw and directly rush into the third gathering place!
The pupils of the person in charge of the east wall suddenly constricted as he roared, “The martial artist who was occupied by the ghost is already dead! Don’t hold back!”
This kind of thing had happened before. Usually, these martial artists would also be given pamphlets with relevant precautions.
However, when it came to the real battle, these civilian martial artists were still timid.
Silver Fox also subconsciously retreated.
The distance was too close. As an elemental mage, he was very unsuitable for close combat and could be easily injured by these martial artists.
Even if he dared to release a spell, he would still injure himself.
He was a mage, but that did not mean that his elemental resistance was high. On the contrary, his elemental resistance was very low! Due to the special effect of his equipment, his elemental resistance was even negative!
As the other martial artists retreated, Flame Explosion directly released Lightning Wind and rushed over.
Ye Yuqiu, Bai Xinghe, Black, and the others instantly exclaimed.
Damn!
Why was a mage like him charging forward?!
The next moment, Flame Explosion suddenly threw out a Lightning Storm!
The lightning storm with a diameter of eight meters directly enveloped most of the ghosts and bodies!
Lightning Storm was a rather powerful AOE skill among lightning spells.
It did not consume a lot of magic power, but its damage range was very wide. It also dealt two consecutive rounds of damage!
Many mage professions could use it from Sixth Realm to Ninth Realm. Xiang Tianxiu had also invested a lot of experience points and essence into this skill and used it as a signature skill.
All the nearby martial artists saw that the first round of damage from the Lightning Storm had directly killed more than ten level one Seventh Realm ghosts.
The paralyzing effect of the lightning storm even made many of their bodies tremble and fall to the ground.
Then, the lightning storm landed on the ground, forming a circle with a diameter of eight meters.
Any ghost that rushed into this range would immediately be electrocuted. After taking at most six electric shocks, their health points would be exhausted and they would die on the spot.
The paralyzed bodies stopped in this range and could not walk out at all. They also died one after another.
A Lightning Storm actually killed more than a hundred ghosts and more than ten possessed martial artists!
Black’s mouth fell open.
You call this weak?
Silver Fox was dumbfounded.
Didn’t they say that Flame Explosion’s signature move was Flame Explosion?!
Why was this Lightning Storm so powerful?!
This was even comparable to Xiang Tianxiu’s Lightning Storm!
When the other martial artists saw this scene, their shock was even greater.
He was a Seventh Realm martial artist like them?
They would even believe that this was an Eighth Realm martial artist!
Lin Xuan was also rather surprised to see such a result from the Lightning Storm.
However, after carefully looking at his skills and equipment, he had a rough idea why this happened.
Firstly, he had eaten many attribute items and had 10% additional lightning damage.
Secondly, the skill “Lightning Demon King” was similar to “Demon King of Fury”. When it was not activated, it would cause 15% lightning damage. When the skill was activated, it could also increase lightning damage by 25%.
In addition, he had a ring and some accessories.
Although they were all precious purple grade, the effect was not bad and also increased the lightning damage.
In addition, there was also the more important “Magic Amplification”. The more peerless golden equipment there were, the greater the enhancement!
After being stacked, the additional lightning damage actually reached 140%!
Of course, it was definitely not as powerful as the Demon Flame Set, the Blazing Fire Codex, the Demon King of Fury, the Demonized Body, and so on.
However, the additional 140% lightning damage had already surpassed many Seventh Realm mage professions.
The person in charge of the east wall saw this from afar and could not help but cheer.
“Little brother, well done! The Construction Division will not forget your contribution today!”
“Everyone, seize the opportunity. Block the gap and chase the ghosts down the city wall!”
The person in charge shouted at the other martial artists.
Only then did the martial artists hurriedly recover from their daze. A few Construction Division members carrying shields rushed over without hesitation and blocked in front of them, facing the many ghosts.
Standing behind them, the martial artists were much more at ease and immediately began to unleash all kinds of skills.
In this way, they finally suppressed the ghosts that rushed up the city wall.
However, this mistake caused more than 30 martial artists to directly die and more than 50 martial artists to be injured. This still cast a huge shadow on the hearts of the people on the city wall.
Silver Fox threw spells as he approached Flame Explosion.
“How many trump cards have you hidden behind our backs? Why do I feel that you’re even better at hiding than Shield Ghost?” Silver Fox whispered, “Don’t tell me you’re also proficient in frost magic and poison magic?”
Flame Explosion smiled. “I really don’t know any poison spells.”
“Oh, that’s good… Wait, does that mean that you’re proficient at frost magic?” Silver Fox’s eyes widened.
It seemed that his only advantage was his poison magic.
Damn it!
He had just been given the limelight before it was snatched away by Flame Explosion.
The battle continued, and a full hour had passed.
However, the number of ghosts under the city still did not decrease.
These ghosts were like a tide, surging wave after wave.
The person in charge of the east wall checked the charging state and reminded loudly, “It will take about ten minutes for the three Lightning Towers to be fully charged! Everyone, work harder. We can’t let the ghosts rush up again!”
Hearing this good news, the martial artists all felt relieved.
The Lightning Tower was the most impressive.
As long as the Lightning Tower was fully charged, they could immediately start killing. By then, they could even slack off.
Lin Xuan also sensed that the atmosphere on the city wall had changed, as if everyone had relaxed.
At this moment, the sutured ghost monster suddenly opened its mouth and let out a silent growl.
The roar swept across the battlefield like an invisible wave.
In an instant, all the ghosts seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and their desire to fight increased crazily.
They directly abandoned the target in front of them.
At this moment, a mage’s staff was sent flying, and the mage’s throat was exposed to the ghost claw. However, the ghost directly gave up.
Moreover, two warrior professionals were accidentally thrown off the city wall, but they were actually not swallowed by the ghosts. A large number of ghosts directly brushed past them and rushed in three directions with extreme intent.
It was the three Lightning Towers!
The person in charge of the east wall was already prepared. The well-trained members of the Construction Division immediately took out their shields and covered their bodies tightly.
Their bodies were the defensive line of the Lightning Tower!
However, these ghosts did not attack. Instead, they directly stopped in front of these members of the Construction Division. It was as if there was crazy energy surging in their bodies.
The person in charge of the east wall was stunned.
What kind of battle strategy was this?
It had never appeared before.
Lin Xuan was also stunned and hurriedly used his High-Level Observer skill.
“Self-destruct! Quickly dodge!”
After seeing the skills of these ghosts, Lin Xuan immediately roared.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghosts expanded like they were blowing air.
The next moment, they exploded crazily on the city wall like grenades!
Self-destruction: Consumes 100% of one’s health points to cause 300% magic damage within a five-meter radius!
Ye Yuqiu muttered, “In the past… ghosts never self-destructed.”
Bang bang bang!
The Construction Division members with large shields could not resist at all and were blasted into pieces by the self-destruction of a large number of ghosts.
However, even so, no one retreated.
They forcefully blocked these ghosts with their bodies!
The person in charge of the east wall’s eyes were red as if he had gone crazy. He cursed, “Is it still not fully charged? No?! This damn Lightning Tower!”
The low-level martial artists in charge of shoveling the coal into the boiler of the Lightning Tower below wished they could grow eight pairs of tentacles and use all means to throw the coal in.
However, they really could not do it.
Last night, these three Lightning Towers had just resisted a medium-sized beast tide. They only had 10% of their energy left and their coal was almost exhausted.
At dusk today, a new batch of coal had just been transported in!
Even though the low-level martial artists were already working very hard, the charging speed was still surprisingly slow.
Moreover, the Lightning Tower was an early work of Wan Youxi. There was naturally a flaw in its design, which was that it had to be filled before it could be used!
The better Lightning Towers created by Wan Youxi had to be given priority to Colony One and Colony Two. The towers that were left in Colony Three were only early works.
Wan Youxi also wanted to make more Lightning Towers, but the materials needed for this thing were very difficult to find. Some of them were produced in the Kunlun Ruins, and some were imported from the large mystic realm controlled by the Knights of Truth and the World Salvation Society.
However, in recent years, because the overall strength of the Construction Division had increased, the relationship between the Knights of Truth and the World Salvation Society and the Construction Division had plummeted. The export of the relevant materials had almost been cut off, which immediately caused Wan Youxi to be unable to create more Lightning Towers.
Little Spirit Mountain’s Colony Three could only make do with these defective Lightning Towers.
Bang bang bang!
The self-destruction of the ghosts continued.
The martial artists did not dare to fight these reckless ghosts head-on at all and instinctively retreated.
The Lightning Tower was also affected by the self-destruction. The outer wall was blasted into stone fragments, and the charging immediately became unstable.
Ye Yuqiu, Bai Xinghe, and the others looked at each other and immediately rushed to support.
Lin Xuan also rushed over. “Is there any other way to accelerate the charging of the Lightning Tower?!”
Lin Xuan was indeed very powerful, but he also knew that it was impossible for him to resist so many ghosts alone. He also knew that he could not save the others. At most, he could only escape alone.
If they wanted everyone to survive, they had to think of a way to completely charge the Lightning Tower. Otherwise, Colony Three would definitely be broken through tonight!
“Take out all the items you obtained from the mystic realms. They have to be related to lightning. They also have to be at least of precious purple grade! Golden grade items would be even better!”
Lin Xuan immediately thought of the Thunder Rock Marrow he had obtained in the Falling Thunder Mountain.
When Ye Yuqiu and the others heard this, they took out their remaining Thunder Rock Marrow from the storage compartment without hesitation. “We’ll block here. Quickly charge the furnace.”
Lin Xuan nodded heavily. “Hang in there!”
He directly jumped off the city wall and rushed to the furnace.
