34. Burning Spirituality

The fourth vibration wave swept out. The soil and stones on the surface had long been washed away. This time it didn't turn into a missile, but the surface directly rolled backward as the vibration wave spread. Li Ang and the two summon beasts all fell into the ground and were shaken by the vibration, unable to move.

The subsequent earthquake began. Li Ang realized that this wouldn't work, so he let the gem beast pick up Zoe next to him and throw her on its back, and the two summon beasts retreated together.

However, the gem giant's legs were stuck in the ground cracks and difficult to pull out. Only the gem beast returned to him.

Li Ang had just turned over and climbed onto the gem beast's back. The shaking of the ground had even made the gem beast unable to stand still.

Zoe on the gem beast's back stared at the ancient ruins of half a temple. It was originally connected to the mountain body. Due to the shaking, large pieces of mountain rock fell off, already burying some parts. If more giant rocks rolled down, I am afraid everything inside would be destroyed.

"That ruin..."

"Watch your head!"

The glass canopy of the cavity began to disintegrate in the fourth earthquake. The originally gorgeous and beautiful cave ceiling crystals all turned into deadly mechanisms.

Li Ang drew the Water Flow Phalanx Dragon Tooth Sword to block the falling rocks, and Zoe also waved her sword to knock them away.

After barely surviving, the giant snake was already accumulating energy for the fifth impact.

Even if it means getting hurt, it cannot be allowed to continue.

Li Ang took a deep breath, concentrated his energy, and pulled all the atmospheric magic power that his remaining energy could use.

"Zoe, I am now exhausting all my magic power reserves. After that, I will be energy-deficient and unable to act. I need you to take me away from the island core."

The girl was originally using earth element arrows to attack the Earth Snake, but the latter was determined and didn't stop, and her attacks couldn't produce decisive results.

"Why, what are you going to do?"

She turned her head, as if realizing something, her expression worried: "Didn't you just say that over-casting will lead to mental exhaustion and death?"

At this time, the greatest damage Li Ang could cause was the ultimate move—Myriad Spirit Agitation.

This move, as the ultimate move of a spellcaster who is not good at destruction, even if it gathers Li Ang's life-long insights, can only be defined as a large-scale containment spell.

The reason is simple. Although it can use the surrounding situation to increase power, it is also limited by this.

In game terms, its range control and AOE damage total are very high, but the armor-breaking line of a single hit is not enough, and it is not the same concept as single-target burst damage good at killing.

Therefore, even if there were gems everywhere, he didn't directly open the ultimate move when he saw the Earth Snake.

The gems here are mostly Rank 4 strength, and a few are higher, but even if they are activated by Myriad Spirit Agitation together, they are just a bunch of Rank 4 elemental energy groups, which cannot hurt the holy snake's Rank 6 scales. Breaking defense is not as good as his special use of rank-up spells combined with gems.

Now it's different. Its defense has been broken under repeated attacks, and Myriad Spirit Agitation is enough to cause huge damage.

The first time to fight against something like a Star Soul, it is indeed much more laborious than fighting past monsters.

Things related to Star Souls have refreshed Li Ang's cognition a lot. However, even if he didn't have the help of those powerful equipment and energy sources in the past, the current situation was still within his ability.

The previous magic power reserve had been consumed by more than half. Logically speaking, Li Ang's spellcaster ultimate move could not be launched.

But he is currently in a state of spirituality activation. In this state, even if energy and physical strength are insufficient, he can forcibly launch ultimate moves and skills, because burning spirituality is used as a substitute.

However, as long as it is not over-squeezed, the part of spirituality that increased after activation is consumed first.

This is also the strongest point of this auxiliary spell. In this scene, it has the same effect as Zoe's parents squeezing the spirituality of the treasure.

"Won't die, I've done this several times in critical moments before."

Li Ang first used spell writing to release a Rank 2 spell—Spirituality Traction, to suck back the gems that were blown away by the vibration wave.

Regardless of whether Zoe's parents deliberately left the gems for latecomers to fight the Star Soul, this time it was all thanks to them.

The gem group rotated in the air, and Li Ang injected magic power that induced Myriad Spirit Agitation into it.

The Earth Snake finished accumulating power, raised its head, and hit the ground.

The fifth vibration wave.

This time, the vibration wave suddenly increased to the point of causing substantial damage. It swept across, and the gem colossus that was already stuck in the ground was buried deeper, and the gem armor on its body shattered and fell off one after another.

The elemental beast that pulled out its four legs knelt on the ground under the impact. The vibration wave affected the internal structure of its four legs, and it couldn't stand up for a while.

Li Ang's spellcasting was interrupted by the vibration. He coughed up a breath, covered his temples, and the attack caused him to relax his traction, magic power escaped, and spirituality was back-shocked.

"Li Ang! Are you hurt!" Zoe hurriedly supported him.

Li Ang hadn't answered yet, and the fifth earthquake began.

He raised his hand, and the gem colossus used the remaining magic power to perform physical transformation, forming an earth and stone cover on top of the two and the elemental beast, and above it was a fragile shield gathered by the remaining gems.

The glass canopy of the underground cavity began to disintegrate, just like the whole sky shattered into several pieces and collapsed, and the world changed color for a while.

The island core world illuminated by fluorescent stones changed drastically. Crystals falling from a height of more than 100 meters were like heavy rain, and all the scenery familiar to the ground was shattered. Even the ground that had already been turned over was plowed up by endless falling crystals.

"We, we, I..."

Zoe bit her lower lip tightly, scared by this scene.

The mud boiled like boiling water bubbles, and the whole earth repeatedly disintegrated and reunited, and finally, it completely changed the world.

The whole time felt as long as suffering. Under such a blow combined with the natural environment, human instinct only thinks about how to protect itself.

Li Ang raised his hand to fill the cover turned by the mud rock giant with magic power, otherwise even if it consumed spirituality to maintain its body, it wouldn't be able to support the bombardment of falling crystals.

Zoe lowered her head, the courage she had just raised seemed to be suppressed again by the fear of the Star Soul, two clear tears slid from the corners of her eyes, and her lips muttered something.

The mud cover on the top of her head shattered into dust, and the gem mud rock colossus completed its mission and returned to the earth.

Li Ang recovered. Just now, he felt that his internal organs were about to shift.

If there was a sixth vibration wave, I am afraid it would really hurt the internal organs.

Smiling at the girl with tear stains on her face, Li Ang tapped her forehead lightly.

"Don't be stunned, pay attention to the situation, don't get into danger."

"Don't worry, this snake is already as good as dead."

"It's just that there might be a sixth shock. Although the damage to us is estimated to be less than this time, the ruins are connected to the cave wall, and it may be difficult to preserve. Don't worry, I already have some clues about your parents."

"The battle will end soon."

Although the fifth impact came earlier than expected, some wounds on the snake's body were healing. It must be that the Earth's Favor skill still took effect, so it recovered a little spirit.

This doesn't matter. With so many high-level gems acting as spellcasting materials, the ultimate move he launched is enough to produce huge elemental damage. I am afraid the erupted energy will be like the sun descending here, covering the underground cavity in a flash as if hit by the scorching sun.

"Close your eyes later."

Smiling at the girl, Li Ang gathered magic power again.

He didn't see that his side face was reflected in the girl's pupils.

She stared blankly at him gathering magic power bit by bit.

"No."

Zoe's voice sounded with a crying tone.

When Li Ang paused slightly because of this, she gasped heavily, as if wanting to use the inhaled air to squeeze out the cold fear occupying her body.

She shook her head vigorously, as if trying to drive away some thoughts in her mind.

She clenched her fists bit by bit, as if trying to grasp something.

"No."

She said it again, this time the voice was clear and definite. ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
