Chapter 375: Spiritual Shockburst

Under the acceleration of gravity, Lei En's speed kept increasing.

He traced a slanted path high in the sky, with howling wind in his ears; the excessive speed caused his armor to rub against the air and gradually heat up.

The airship grew nearer in his view.

Lei En pulled out a bottle of "Frenzy Beast Blood Elixir" and drank it; his eyes reddened as he entered a berserk state, his already massive, sturdy body swelling again to over 2.3 meters, like a small giant, and the heavy great axe felt lighter, easier to swing.

Beyond that, he placed no further spells on himself, like a true orc warrior.

The airship kept flying, and when Lei En fell within a kilometer, he was finally spotted.

Such a massive threat could not evade the detection of a legendary psychic.

A silhouette flashed onto the deck; looking up, he saw the rapidly approaching orc in the sky, his pupils instantly narrowing as he raised his hand and sounded an alarm, waking everyone on the airship.

Lei En also observed the opponent.

He appeared young, under forty, with an ordinary face, clad in an elegant enchanted robe; his gaze was calm, and even upon sensing the enemy's approach he did not panic. The Soul Eye displayed that he was an Eleventh‑rank legendary Wizard, a full‑time psychic, also versed in spells beyond the mental discipline.

"Legendary psychic Luokan Nan, one of the youngest students of Duke Hong Shi," Lei En matched the information with what he knew.

The people on the airship reacted swiftly, and a squad of Crimson Flame Sword Guards rushed out.

There were also five other Wizards.

At a glance, Lei En spotted Feilis, whom he hadn't seen for nearly two years; she was unchanged, with a beautiful face, graceful figure, and a head of red curls that made her stand out in the crowd.

Her power had also risen from an Eighth‑rank Wizard to Ninth‑rank.

Former Demon‑Clearing Squad comrade Mi Er Dun stayed close to Feilis, their relationship clearly more than ordinary.

This left Lei En absolutely convinced: the previous year in Longshande, his report on the evil‑god cult had hit a dead end because of the traitor Mi Er Dun. Wizards of ParrasFloatingCity were indeed linked to the evil god "Deceiver" Luo Xi, covertly steering a plot against the Silver Star Duke.

Although it was still unclear whether they succeeded or what their ultimate goal was, many matters now had explanations.

Lei En's thoughts in his mind turned sharply.

One legendary psychic, two High‑rank Wizards, three Mid‑stage Wizards, and a squad of ten Crimson Flame Sword Guards—these were all the enemies on the airship.

Today, no one could return to Parras alive.

His descent accelerated, and in an instant he was under five hundred meters; the Wizards on the deck raised shields, forming a strict formation.

Luokan Nan suddenly swung his staff, and an invisible force field spread outward.

The field enveloped the entire airship; after the light warped, the airship vanished from the sky.

"Advanced Invisibility Technique."

Meanwhile, the airship's pilot received Luokan Nan's orders and steered the craft to change direction. This was the optimal response, preventing the orc from boarding and causing damage; without a way to cushion the fall, the orc might have crashed straight to the ground and died.

However, it had no effect on Lei En whatsoever.

Under the Truth Will, he could still clearly see the airship's position, adjusting his posture mid‑air and slightly altering his descent direction.

Luokan Nan's view was blocked by the airbag, preventing a timely response.

A few seconds later.

The airship's airbag rapidly expanded before Lei En's eyes; with head down, feet planted, both hands gripping the great axe, he swung with all his might.

Bang!

A booming crack rang as the airbag's protective spell was instantly shattered by the axe; Lei En's body pierced through, emerging from beneath the bag and crashing heavily onto the airship's uppermost deck.

The massive falling momentum combined with his heavy body drove Lei En from the top deck into the airship's hull, leaving a several‑meter‑wide gash; the whole craft shuddered, its speed waned, and the airbag leaked wildly as the airship descended uncontrollably toward the ground.

"You, go repair the airbag," Luokan Nan ordered the two High‑rank Wizards.

Then he opened a portal and stepped through.

Lei En rose from a heap of airship debris, shaking his head to dispel the impact, and saw the airship's magical energy furnace a dozen meters ahead, barely still running, with massive steam and energy leaking from broken conduits, shrouding everything in haze.

This was the propulsion chamber; originally two engineers tended it, one was killed on the spot, the other knocked unconscious by the shockwave.

He was about to cleave the furnace with his axe, completely destroying it, when his peripheral vision caught a portal about to open.

Without hesitation, he launched a charge.

Bang bang bang… each step Lei En took cracked the wooden floor, his thousand‑pound great axe whooshing terrifyingly, even the air split in two.

The axe blade flashed, striking the Wizard who had just emerged from the portal.

But the sensation on the axe was light; the Wizard's form dissolved like foam, and Lei En had only cut a phantom.

"What high alertness!"

He couldn't help but mutter, the greatest advantage of psychics in battle lies in telepathy; they always sense danger a half‑step ahead and make the right judgment.

For other Wizards, stepping out of a portal could have meant being cut down instantly.

Lei En also possessed telepathy, a side effect of the Truth Will, so he was always advantageous in combat; this was his first encounter with an opponent who also had telepathy, and a momentary lapse let him be slightly exploited.

He didn't rush through the portal to pursue.

Crossing an enemy's portal is the most dangerous act; it must never be done unless absolutely necessary.

He turned back, sprinting toward the furnace; his great axe struck the towering furnace with a clang, scattering sparks, instantly carving a massive fissure, extinguishing the runes, halting the energy flow, and depriving the airship of power.

Lei En leapt with both legs, jumping out of the large hole overhead and landing on the airship's topmost deck.

He barely steadied himself when several Crimson Flame Sword Guards had already closed in.

These extraordinary beings, clad in enchanted armor and wielding longswords, had received Luokan Nan's orders and launched a fearless assault.

Luokan Nan himself had activated Flight Technique, hovering in the air outside the airship.

"Lockta!"

Lei En let out an excited roar.

He ignored the flaming longsword that struck him, swinging his great axe in a horizontal slash; the terror and force were like a hot knife through butter, easily cleaving the two Crimson Flame Sword Guards before him at the waist.

During the fight, a familiar light descended from above.

Exile Technique!

Lei En couldn't dodge in time; the Exile Technique formed a translucent cage, trapping him and preventing further attacks. Lacking a blood‑red cloak and not fully activating his True Dragon Body to boost spell resistance, he couldn't resist the exile and could only wait for it to end.

Even so, the Exile Spell limited to four rings can last at most less than a second.

More Crimson Flame Sword Guards seized the opportunity to surround them.

Luo Kannan was also preparing the next spell, while Lei En observed the legendary spirit adept up close.

He is a typical Naiser Sect Wizard, with many spells—nearly forty Arcane Elements—each serving a different purpose; the ring levels are not high, and only a handful of spells have risen to his Wizard rank cap, which is six rings.

Duke Hong Shi is relatively close to Master Ao Gu Le Wei, who is reputed as the strongest Wizard; the Wizards under his tutelage, including himself, strengthen themselves according to the Naiser Sect's casting philosophy.

Naiser Sect Wizards have numerous and varied spells, with versatile casting, and they prize victory through intelligence.

A second passes in an instant.

Luo Kannan's timing for casting is extremely precise; his spell arrives almost the exact moment the Exile Spell ends.

Mind Blast!

This is the signature spell of a spirit adept; every spirit adept must raise its ring level to make it their killing move.

Luo Kannan's Mind Blast reaches five rings, and the casting can be completed within a second, showing his high talent; it's unknown how many enemies had their heads blown away by this spell.

Lei En, using his Soul Eye, already knew which spell the opponent intended to cast.

He did not dodge, allowing the Mind Blast to hit himself.

The terrifyingly powerful spell struck his head, yet it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea—producing no effect at all, and even his movements showed no pause.

It was as if the spell had simply failed.

The ever‑calm Luo Kannan was stunned; even though this beastman had mental protection, being hit by his own five‑ring Mind Blast would not have caused this.

This unexpected mishap brought disastrous consequences to the Crimson Flame Sword Guards.

Lei En gripped his great axe with both hands and roared, delivering a Great Whirl.

A cold glint flashed on the axe blade.

Destructive Critical!

In an instant, the great axe sliced out a vortex of light that swept over the surrounding Crimson Flame Sword Guards; whether it struck a spot protected by enchanted armor or not, nothing could block it by an inch, and the axe mercilessly cleaved everything before it.

Heads flew up, armor shattered, and limbs crashed to the ground.

The few Crimson Flame Sword Guards surrounding him were cut down within a single breath; the scene was unbearably gruesome.

Their final attacks left only a few white marks on Lei En.

Warm fresh blood splattered on Lei En's snarling face; he stuck out his tongue to lick it, his eyes filled with violent, blood‑thirsty desire, as if the blood had further incited his ferocity. With a roar, Lei En leapt from the airship's deck and rushed toward the few Wizards and remaining Crimson Flame Sword Guards on the lower deck.

The greatest threat is Luo Kannan, who flies in midair; as a beastman warrior lacking ranged attacks, Lei En temporarily ignores him.

Luo Kannan still could not believe that his Mind Blast had actually failed.

Boom—

Lei En's feet tore spider‑web‑like cracks in the deck; as soon as he landed, the spells of several Wizards arrived.

Ring of Frost;

Web Spell;

Grease Spell;

Heartfire Arrow;

Milton was also among them; he is a Ten Thousand Spirits Wizard, summoning two massive giant wolves and a flock of about a dozen Ice Demon Bats, spitting icy arrows at Lei En while emitting a piercing sound wave.

This sound wave can cause the target to become dizzy, and only Willpower can resist it.

Lei En seemed like a true legendary warrior, letting the spells strike him, raising his great axe to charge, and bellowing, "Lockta! Oga!"
