Chapter 78 Aftermath

After Aietimis's words fell, a shimmering, earth-yellow object appeared in the palm of this bold woman. At first glance, it looked like a miniature model, barely filling her hand. However, in Fang Senyan's eyes, it seemed like a towering mountain range, exuding an overwhelming feeling, definitely not something ordinary.

Fang Senyan was definitely not the type to wait for his opponent to get ready. He endured the blinding light and dizziness, lunging fiercely at Aietimis like a ravenous beast. He hoped to extinguish this thing in its cradle before it took effect.

But things rarely go according to Fang Senyan's wishes. His attack came at the cost of Ji'an burying his axe deep into his back. This fellow's axe was infused with three attributes: ice, poison, and electricity, all erupting at once!

Although Fang Senyan was naturally immune to poison, he had no defense against ice and electricity. After being hit, he was afflicted with the Frozen status, reducing his movement speed by 30%. The paralysis from the electricity reduced his movement speed by another 20%, and his attack and casting speeds were further reduced by 15%. In total, his movement speed was cut in half!

Because of this unexpected blow, Fang Senyan's attack faltered, delayed by at least one and a half seconds from reaching Aietimis.

Fang Senyan immediately sensed something was wrong. Unless this woman was dead, her companion's one and a half seconds of stalling should have been enough for her to escape.

"Could it be that my previous throat-slitting attack didn't scare her?" Fang Senyan immediately dismissed this possibility. Given this woman's shrewdness, if using this item required a long casting time, why would she release it in front of him?

With so many thoughts swirling in his mind, Fang Senyan immediately sensed a trap. Instinctively, he rolled backward, retreating. After making this move, he heard a resentful sigh.

When Fang Senyan squinted, the "Aietimis" he had been about to attack dissolved into a shimmering sphere of mercury! It was a fake!

If Fang Senyan had slashed at it without knowing, the mercury bomb would have detonated immediately. Even if he was immune to toxins, inhaling the vaporizing mercury wouldn't be beneficial and would likely leave him in an even more wretched state.

Now, the real Aietimis was standing in the corner of the wall, holding the "model" in her hands. She placed it on the ground, where it rapidly absorbed the surrounding soil and grew larger. The incredibly detailed carvings expanded quickly, becoming lifelike, and then formed a pool covering fifty or sixty square meters, filled with viscous mud. It seemed a pot was constantly boiling underneath, causing the mud to bubble incessantly, like a pot of thick porridge.

Fang Senyan, recognizing it, couldn't help but gasp.

"Earth Elemental Gathering Ground?"

Earth elementals were creatures that only appeared in fantasy worlds. Logically, their physical structure was readily available everywhere, but the reason why this race was rare was that the element concentration in the world had to reach a certain level, and more importantly, the total amount of elements in the world had to be large enough to form liquid characteristics.

After these two conditions were met, the tides spread all over the world would show water-like characteristics, and strong element vortexes would be formed in some special areas. These vortexes would not suffocate or kill people like water currents, but ordinary people would not be able to detect them at all. However, for people who practice related magic, they were blessed places.

When the element vortex of the earth element stays in one place for a long time. With the accumulation of elements, life will slowly be derived, which is the origin of the earth element. Once the earth element is formed, it will promote the turbulence of the element vortex and further derive more earth element life. This is the origin of the earth element gathering place, and if it goes on for a long time, it will even form an earth element altar, and then the surrounding earth elements will form rock elements.

What Aietimis had taken out now was something that could completely build an Earth Elemental Gathering Ground on this planet where there were no elemental vortexes at all! Of course, this thing must use some very precious crystal as power. Once the crystal is exhausted, the natural element vortex will disappear, and the earth element will die like a fish leaving the water.

However, before that energy was exhausted, the earth elements that appeared in the earth element gathering place... needless to say, they would definitely listen to the user's commands!

Seeing the mud pool in the earth element gathering place bubbling continuously like boiling porridge, Fang Senyan's face turned cold and he began to attack fiercely. However, his vision was severely impaired, and an MT was recklessly intercepting him, so even with his freakish strength, he couldn't do anything to Aietimis!

So, when the first muddy earth element crawled out of the pond, Fang Senyan could only retreat a few steps and lean against the wall. This way, at least he only had to face attacks from 180 degrees.

The newborn earth element easily absorbed the surrounding rocks onto its body. Its upper body was somewhat similar to a human's, with unusually long and thick arms, while its legs were short and thick compared to its hands, giving it a very stable feeling.

When it moved, the ground began to tremble slightly, as if an extremely heavy cube was rolling over it. Furthermore, this thing's innate ability was a Slow spell. When it raised its arm, an earth-yellow light enveloped Fang Senyan, immediately reducing his movement and attack speed by 30%.

Then, this earth element walked towards Fang Senyan, raising its heavy arms and slamming them down! Fang Senyan grunted and endured the blow, but at the same time, he thrust swiftly, piercing the earth element's chest, and the Extinction ability was activated!

The earth element's chest suddenly made a muffled sound, as if something had shattered. Then, its entire body stiffened, and dense cracks appeared on its surface, like the cracks in a dried-out rice field. Finally, it collapsed into a pile of mud and dust!

But at this moment, Fang Senyan also grunted, clutching his abdomen. It turned out that Aietimis, moving like a ghostly phantom, had seized the opportunity when he attacked, giving him another cut!

Aietimis retreated immediately after succeeding, seemingly determined to carry out the strategy of attrition.

As a summoner, Aietimis knew the strength of the summoned earth element best. However, Fang Senyan's casual attack could instantly kill an earth element, and such terrifying power was truly awe-inspiring, even shocking!

However, for Aietimis, what arose in her heart was an even more greedy intention, and she became increasingly covetous of Fang Senyan's magical weapon! The light on the weapons in her hands gradually faded, as if they were being absorbed into the weapons themselves. It could be seen that they were actually a pair of strange iron hooks.

Speaking of which, this thing was a special product of the Pirates of the Caribbean world. However, although Fang Senyan had been in that place for a long time, he had never seen a high-level version of this thing, let alone a pair?

Fang Senyan was forced into a corner. He knew that the situation was somewhat unfavorable to him because although he could seemingly hit the earth element's core with one sword and kill it, the Extinction ability was not a freebie! Whether it was the loss of vitality or the consumption of merit points, it could be said that he couldn't afford to waste it!

He hadn't considered using the Wither Impact at this time, but this ability would cause considerable damage to the surrounding environment. The destruction caused by the starting gesture might collapse the entire cave, burying himself and the enemy alive.

And Fang Senyan's most embarrassing situation now was that his vision was greatly affected. Everything in front of him was a white blur, and even if he saw something, it was a severe double image, so the Fury of the Horns couldn't be used either. Even if the opponent had many flaws due to infection with the disease, he couldn't launch an attack on them in the first place! And even if he launched an attack, there was still a tenacious MT to intercept him.

Logically speaking, the Dark Gold Leech could be very effective in this situation. However, considering Ronnie's lack of survival ability and the Dark Gold Leech's amplification of bleeding, Fang Senyan gave the Dark Gold Leech to him. Therefore, for a while, Fang Senyan had a feeling of having no way to deal with it. Fortunately, the other party was also infected with the SARS virus, and more importantly, the damage of the SARS virus was still very considerable, and it was definitely not a situation where he couldn't fight.

"Hmm... The key to breaking the situation is not to kill people or destroy that damn summoning pool!" This thought flashed through Fang Senyan's mind. "But to retreat from the mechanisms in this cave. As long as my vision recovers, killing them will be a matter of minutes!"

My bad, I'll go order a plate of grilled brain flowers to make up for it tonight.
