Chapter 80: When Did I Say I Was Only a Dual-Element Mage?
On the other side of the battlefield, the wind howled fiercely.
"Roar of the Wind God!"
Wild winds surged around Shen Yifeng, transforming into dozens of massive wind blades that slashed viciously into the War Giant.
Debris flew everywhere.
The War Giant let out a muffled roar.
"Shield formation! Hold the line!"
Several guards wielding giant shields gritted their teeth and stood at the very front.
"Heal! Quickly!"
"Don't stop the damage output!"
Shen Yifeng shouted commands while continuously releasing wind-element skills to tie up the enemy.
The War Giant was clumsy, but its health pool was simply too thick.
Add to that its despair-inducing defense, and it was nothing short of a bone too hard to crack.
Just then,
a team member suddenly whipped his head around to look behind him.
The next second,
he froze completely.
"Holy crap..."
"Cap... Captain! Look behind!"
"Focus on the fight in front!"
Shen Yifeng scolded sharply, but couldn't help but look back himself.
At that glance, everyone was stunned.
"Where did the elite monster groups go? They're gone already?"
One team member couldn't help but ask.
Someone shouted excitedly, "It must be the reinforcements! Otherwise, who could clear such a huge group of monsters in an instant?"
"No, it's not reinforcements."
It was still that archer.
His vision was extremely sharp; he even spotted a wisp of residual lightning-element skill energy.
"The reinforcements haven't arrived. It was Xiao Liu and the others, along with Long Xu Ban's kids, who used large-scale lightning-element skills and large-scale fire-element skills."
"Lightning element?"
Shen Yifeng paused for a moment.
Xiao Liu and the others weren't lightning-element classes.
Moreover,
those students from Long Xu Ban didn't seem to have lightning-element classes either?
Han Mengyao was ice-element, Chu Lingxuan was light-element, and Han Mengqing was a support.
As for Lin Mo...
I remember him being a dual fire and earth element?
And when I saw him act before, it was fire-element skills covering the sky and earth. Where did the lightning element come from?
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances, their minds filled with question marks.
"ROAR—!!!"
The War Giant's roar cut through everyone's thoughts.
The annihilation of the royal guard seemed to make the big guy sense a threat; its attacks became even more frenzied.
"Stop overthinking! We'll know soon enough."
Shen Yifeng snapped back to his senses, his eyes sharpening as he shouted loudly:
"Whoever did it, since the trouble over there is already resolved, this is our final battlefield!"
"This big guy doesn't have much health left! Brothers, push harder! Don't lose to those kids!"
"YES!!!"
Provoked by Shen Yifeng, the guards' morale instantly surged.
Meanwhile, inside the Magic Conductor Train.
The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely exhilarated.
That scene of intertwined lightning and fire was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.
A young passenger, so excited he was dancing with joy, cried out:
"So cool! So incredibly cool! Lightning for crowd control, fire seas to cleanse the ground... this is art!"
"I thought Long Xu Ban was the Fire God descending to earth, but I didn't expect him to moonlight as the Thunder God too?"
"The students of Long Xu Ban are indeed monsters among monsters..."
In the corner,
the little girl clutching a comic book now had sparkling eyes.
She pointed out the window and said to her mother in a milk-sweet voice:
"Mom! I know who that big brother is!"
"Oh? Who is it?"
The young mother gently stroked her daughter's head.
"He is the Thunder-Fire Great Hero!"
The little girl waved her small fists, mimicking the way Lin Mo had just released his skill:
"Boom! All the bad guys turned to dust!"
A burst of good-natured laughter rose within the carriage.
The air, previously oppressive, became relaxed in this very moment.
"Thanks to him; otherwise, we would all have perished here today."
"Yes, when we return, I must certainly set up a longevity tablet for him!"
"Setting up a tablet is unnecessary; he is still young... but with this strength, he will absolutely be the backbone of our Dragon Nation in the future!"
In the center of the battlefield.
Lin Mo hovered in mid-air.
【The 'Earth Shield Technique' jumped wildly: Big Brother is awesome! Big Brother is too awesome! Waaah, following Big Brother indeed means there's meat to eat!】
【The 'Fireball Technique', however, was momentarily stunned.】
【It fell into deep self-doubt: This... is this damage really caused by this seat?】
【Subsequently, the 'Fireball Technique' rejoiced wildly: It seems this seat has grown stronger again! Worthy of this seat! Evolving in battle, sublimating in slaughter!】
Just as the 'Fireball Technique' fell into self-indulgence.
Lin Mo poured a bucket of cold water on it:
"Stop sublimating; you are overthinking it. Little Lei's new skill applied the 'Electrified' status to the monsters; under this status, the damage you deal is doubled."
"Plus its bouncing damage helped suppress their health lines."
"So, do you know why I let Little Lei strike first? This is coordination; this is teamwork."
【The 'Fireball Technique' froze.】
【The 'Fireball Technique' couldn't help but look at the 'Lightning Strike Technique': Hey, third brother, was it really that 'Electrified' thing of yours that doubled this seat's damage?】
On the other side of the skill bar.
【The 'Lightning Strike Technique' replied with its usual cool tone: Only a Bai Chi would think that your tiny flame could instantly wipe out the entire field.】
【The 'Earth Shield Technique': Huh?】
【The 'Fireball Technique' instantly bristled: Who are you calling a Bai Chi? You...】
Seeing they were about to argue again, Lin Mo quickly stepped out to mediate.
"Enough, enough; we are all family."
"Little Lei, although your big brother's mind is a bit straight, his output is solid; without his burst, the monsters indeed couldn't be instantly killed."
"Little Huo, don't be resentful either; is it so hard to admit others' excellence?"
Under Lin Mo's mediation, the 'Fireball Technique' restrained itself slightly.
Although it was tsundere, it was not ungrateful.
The thrill of instantly wiping out the entire field just now was indeed unprecedented.
If this was truly due to the 'Lightning Strike Technique's' support...
【The 'Fireball Technique' snorted: Fine, but remember this! Regardless of whether you support me or not, this seat's area damage remains the strongest!】
【The 'Fireball Technique' said proudly: As for single-target damage... Hmph, this seat is just temporarily inferior to you! Once this seat comprehends the Forbidden Spell, I will show you what true fire is!】
Facing the 'Fireball Technique's' declaration, still full of the desire to win.
The 'Lightning Strike Technique' flickered with a faint blue light.
【The 'Lightning Strike Technique' responded calmly: Fine, I'll wait for you.】
These three brief words left the 'Fireball Technique' stunned.
It had originally thought it would be scolded as "boring" or a "Bai Chi" again, and had even prepared to retort.
【The 'Fireball Technique' swayed uneasily: Ahem... then it's settled! Don't be scared silly by this seat when the time comes!】
Seeing the two skills in such a state, Lin Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.
Little Huo and Little Lei had finally eased up a bit.
Lin Mo slowly descended to the ground.
"Lin Mo! You are too awesome!"
Han Mengqing rushed up first, circling Lin Mo several times: "Wow! That Thunder-Fire combo just now was simply explosively cool!"
Lin Mo smiled and casually brushed his wind-tousled hair:
"Low profile, low profile."
At this moment,
Han Mengyao and Chu Lingxuan also walked over.
"Lin Mo... aren't you a Fire-Earth dual-element mage? How is your Lightning element so strong too?"
Han Mengyao looked at Lin Mo and couldn't help but ask.
At this level, a dual-element proficient mage reaching such a degree was already as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, fully deserving the title of Long Xu Ban's number one.
But now, Lin Mo had used a third-element skill, and moreover, it was a mid-tier skill right from the start.
Lin Mo looked innocently and retorted:
"When did I ever say I was a Fire-Earth dual-element mage?"
Han Mengyao was stunned.
She carefully recalled it.
Indeed…
Everything she had seen, everything she had imagined, was her own.
"Seems… it is."
Han Mengyao let out a bitter laugh and shook her head.
Then her gaze grew even more complex:
"If that's the case… you're actually a tri-elemental mage?"
"Proficient in fire, earth, and lightning?"
Hearing this question, Lin Mo rubbed his chin and replied after a moment:
"Hmm… for now, I suppose so."
"For now?"
Han Mengyao frowned in confusion. "What do you mean… for now?"
After all, the most powerful Arcane God in history had only ever achieved tri-elemental mastery.
Three elements were already the limit of human understanding, the ceiling.
Yet Lin Mo said "for now"?
Did that mean he still had room to grow? Did he believe he could one day master a fourth element, even a fifth?
"Hahaha, 'for now' just means 'for now.' Who knows what the future holds?"
Lin Mo laughed.
"Classmates!"
Xiao Liu ran over with two other team members.
"Since we've cleared the elite monsters here, the rest of the demons can easily be handled by the guards on the vehicle!"
He pointed toward the distance. "Captain Shen is still fighting hard over there. Let's go lend him a hand. What about you? This is a rare chance for real combat."
Though he spoke of it as a combat opportunity, Xiao Liu knew better.
With Lin Mo's help, with his electric buff, the War Golem wouldn't last three minutes!
"Go! Of course we go!"
Han Mengyao raised her spear, her battle spirit blazing: "How can a boss fight be complete without us?"
"I'm coming too!"
Chu Lingxuan raised her massive shield, her eyes resolute.
"Me too! Me too!" Han Mengqing waved her staff, bouncing excitedly. "I'm going to buff Captain Shen!"
Lin Mo glanced at them all and smiled:
"Since we're this far, let's give it one final send-off."
