Chapter 2567

The various elemental attributes scattered; the efforts of Magic Instructor Heros and the others over more than three months vanished into thin air in an instant.

After his initial astonishment, Heros lowered his eyelids. Although he knew that killing Su Xiao here would be a golden opportunity to skyrocket, he always harbored vigilance in his heart. The enemy is a Law-Breaker; if there were some ability that could cause instant death, he would die too unjustly.

Heros now has two choices: have someone contact the Arcane Eternal Star and rush over for reinforcements, at which point the reinforcements from the Arcane Eternal Star will blockade the entire Waste Star.

If he does this, Heros could indeed receive a commendation, but compared to the gains from killing a Law-Breaker with his own hands, that would be a far cry.

Whether to play it safe and contact the Arcane Eternal Star, or to temporarily conceal the news of the Law-Breaker's appearance, is the choice Heros must face. The final profit from the two methods differs by a hundredfold.

After just a moment of thought, Heros decided to contact the Arcane Eternal Star. Sometimes what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth; if that Law-Breaker had hidden certain abilities during the Powerhouse Contest, leading to a misjudgment of combat power, he might lose his life.

Heros considers himself no genius. He has his current strength—not quite Eighth Tier, but at the peak of Seventh Tier—because he has self-awareness. He took the initiative to serve as a Magic Instructor, a somewhat busy position, rather than thinking first about owning his own magic tower. Being a Magic Instructor is hard work, but it allows for the accumulation of extensive connections.

Facts proved that Heros, capable of having quasi-Eighth Tier strength, displayed caution commensurate with his strength, as well as the importance he places on any enemy.

"Kukulin Bai Ye, for the sake of my brighter path, please die here. I will take your corpse back to the Arcane Eternal Star."

The corners of Heros's mouth curled up, as if he had been hit by a debuff to his intelligence. From his words, one could tell he wanted to kill Su Xiao on the spot and not contact the Arcane Eternal Star for the time being, but his right hand was behind his back, making a gesture to the several spellcasters behind him. This gesture meant: call for help, contact the Arcane Eternal Star immediately!

This is the reason Heros did not strike immediately; he was stalling for time. Everything was about playing it safe, which fits his style as an instructor perfectly.

The several spellcasters behind Magic Instructor Heros had normal expressions. They gathered together under the cover of other spellcasters, and one of them took out a crystal ball the size of a fist.

The natural elements drifting around soon dissipated. Su Xiao stood in place without moving. With his current strength, facing 102 contractors of the same tier simultaneously, he could only retreat temporarily, but if it were spellcasters of the same tier, that would be another matter.

The Blade of the Dark Shadow energy within Su Xiao consumed rapidly, soon exceeding 7,000 points. Silently, the branch ability of the Blade of the Dark Shadow, Energy Blocking, was fully activated.

Energy Blocking (Active): If this ability is used against a magic-type enemy, when the enemy casts a spell, there is a 57% chance of it being forcibly interrupted, causing them to fall into a non-judgment paralysis state. The paralysis state lasts 0.7 to 3 seconds and deals true damage equal to 0.8 times the enemy's consumed mana.

Hint: This ability has no trigger cooldown. If the magic-type enemy exceeds the Blade of the Dark Shadow energy tolerance limit by one tier, the effect of this ability will be reduced.

After the Blade of the Dark Shadow energy had completely spread out, Su Xiao knew it was time to strike. The enemy was stalling for time and had likely already contacted the Arcane Eternal Star; it might not be long before the Waste Star was completely sealed off.

Clang~

The Dragon Flash at Su Xiao's waist was unsheathed. The moment he drew his blade, a spark appeared a few meters behind him. The fluctuation of this spark was very weak, as if it didn't exist.

With this spark as the center, fire-type elements suddenly gathered, forming a flame giant with only an upper body. The moment the flame giant formed, it collapsed using its chest as a compression point, and suction appeared from all directions.

Rumble...

The ground was ripped up, and the terrifying suction spread. After reaching a critical point, it suddenly exploded.

Thud!

Magma splashed everywhere, the scene spectacular to the extreme. These splashing magma droplets formed individual molten birds, gathering toward Su Xiao within the flames.

"Elements, upheaval."

A spellcaster with an ordinary appearance pressed his palms together. The magic robe on his body moved without wind, his pupils turning ice-blue.

Crack, crack, crack...

Frost spread on the explosion point of the magma. In an instant, the magma transformed into ice, freezing into a large block of ice.

"Arrow Weight."

A dead-fish-eyed spellcaster gripped the air with one hand, and a black ball of light the size of a walnut appeared in his hand. At the same time, the giant ice block shrank rapidly, bearing immense pressure.

The dead-fish-eyed one clenched his hand, and the black ball of light in his hand turned into a stream of energy, spreading toward his right arm.

Just as the dead-fish-eyed one pressed his hand down, with a boom, a bottomless circular giant pit appeared in the distance, and everything returned to calm.

The dead-fish-eyed one's expression was normal; he could use this level of attack several times without issue. However, one thing puzzled him: the firepower of his side was too weak. In the past, there wouldn't be a foothold within several kilometers, and the only area where one could stand would be under their feet.

The dead-fish-eyed spellcaster turned his head to look. The scene that met his eyes made cold sweat seep from his spine. Of the more than 100 people on his side, more than two-thirds were now lying on the ground, blue arcs of electricity flashing on their bodies, their bodies occasionally twitching.

Magic Instructor Heros half-knelt on the ground, his breathing slightly rapid. Just a moment ago, he had been "attacked" without warning; his body instantly lost sensation, and his brain felt like it was being pricked by thousands of needles. Even now, he still had double vision.

The battle had begun, but before Su Xiao had even charged forward, a large number of spellcasters had already fallen.

"Disperse! Red Servant, go block him."

Heros pressed one hand to his head. As soon as his voice fell, a giant monster behind him stood straight. This was a servant Heros had modified using magic energy.

Red Servant is a melee type that fears no death. After the magic energy in its body was activated, it pulled out a hook blade from its lower back with one hand; the recurved hook blade was covered in serrations.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of meters away, Su Xiao stood on the curled ice shards, scorch marks appearing on his clothing. The spellcasters used their abilities without warning, and the speed was incredibly fast. Each attack affected a large area, and it was very difficult to dodge completely. The Void Overlord, Arcane Eternal Star, is not a name wasted.

Bang!

The ice shards under Su Xiao's feet shattered, and he suddenly disappeared from where he was, charging toward the spellcasters dozens of meters away.

The sound of wind breaking came from beside Su Xiao's ear. As he charged forward, he tilted his body slightly, and a pitch-black energy hand grabbed at empty air.

Thud!

A heavy pressure struck from above, and various magic-type abilities bombarded him head-on from the front, so dense that it was impossible to count how many types there were. Su Xiao knew that this place was about to be washed over by magic-type abilities.

Clang, clang!

Two intersecting slashes swept past, forming a huge X-shape, and all the incoming magic-type abilities scattered.

Patter~

A thunder spear, more than three meters long and already solidified into a physical form, struck, heading straight for Su Xiao's face. The speed was so fast it gave no chance to react, but in Su Xiao's eyes, this was still not the fastest.

While Su Xiao dodged sideways, a crystal layer clung to his right hand. He flicked his long blade, and all the Blade of the Dark Shadow energy on the blade gathered at the tip.

With a sizzle, the straight flight trajectory of the thunder spear changed. Su Xiao, using the momentum of his charge, flicked his long blade.

Bang!

An air explosion spread, and the thunder spear changed direction, being flicked back. It flew past the ear of a female spellcaster, lifting her long hair; she could even feel the lightning stinging her cheek.

The thunder spear pierced through the skull of a spellcaster. Paralyzed all over, he didn't even have a chance to dodge before being carried backward by the thunder spear.

With a thud, the spellcaster whose skull had been pierced fell heavily to the ground.

"It, it was flicked back?"

Heros, who had just recovered, was dumbfounded. In his entire life, he had never seen anyone capable of flicking back a spellcaster's ability; theoretically speaking, this was an impossible thing.
