Chapter 28 Mindstorm

The fiercely formidable Seybuer was sent flying by Zi’s strike, seemingly defenseless. A silvery light coursed through his body, as if he were being electrocuted and paralyzed.

Then, Zi spread her hands apart. Her phoenix eyes were filled with an icy coldness, devoid of their usual allure, replaced by an inviolable majesty. She held her two silver刺 swords again, the light emanating from them almost searing to the retina.

“No, Zi!!” Seybuer suddenly cried out, begging for mercy.

“I was forced to! Think of the days we fought together.”

Although Zi's face remained icy, her hands, about to thrust out the silver刺 swords simultaneously, couldn't help but pause slightly, slowing her by a fraction.

From behind Zi, a phantom image of a giant dragon's head suddenly appeared. The light emanating from Zi's left arm, aimed diagonally upwards, formed the upper jaw of the dragon's head. The light emanating from Zi's right arm, aimed diagonally downwards, formed the lower jaw of the dragon's head!

Then, from the mouth of the dragon phantom, an indescribably turbulent silver dragon breath shot out at Seybuer!

Primal Force. Dragon Breath!

However, Seybuer was a battle-hardened veteran. Taking advantage of Zi's momentary pause, he barely managed to raise his vertebral long刀 in defense, holding it in front of him. When the raging silver dragon breath blasted against it, he gritted his teeth and held on, even though the skin of his hand gripping the hilt sizzled. He was inevitably pushed back seven or eight meters by the immense force, crashing directly into the ground!

The silver dragon breath and blood mingled, causing a violent explosion at the point of impact, seemingly blooming into a huge mud-colored flower. Sand and gravel rained down, making a loud rustling sound as they hit the surrounding ground!

After a while, Seybuer's figure reappeared.

He was surrounded by a thick black aura, originating from his black vertebral long刀. However, the price was that the grotesque vertebral long刀 had shrunk by at least a third! Originally, the刀 exuded an imposing aura in Seybuer's hand, full of the spirit to sweep across the world. But now that it had shrunk so much, it looked awkward, as if he were wielding a mere craft.

Obviously, Zi's attack had also taken a great toll on her. Her long hair flew wildly, her cheeks flushed an abnormal crimson, and her eyes revealed a resolute hatred. The two silver刺 swords intersected in the air, the light they emitted causing subtle but immense ripples in the surrounding space.

Then, the light formed a ferocious dragon claw, flying towards Seybuer at high speed.

Primal Force. Dragon Grasp!

It was now clear that while Zi's close combat abilities had greatly improved after her bloodline awakening, her truly lethal abilities were still primarily long-range magic-based.

As soon as the dragon claw qi勁 flew out, Seybuer immediately felt an immense threat. He roared,

“Yuan Zhan! Help me, if I die, you won't have it easy either!”

Yuan Zhan was indeed gaining the upper hand. Ardariss had launched four more Mind Lightning strikes, but only two successfully hit Yuan Zhan. The remaining two only severely injured two summoned beasts.

The crocodile-like summoned beast opened its mouth full of sharp teeth again, biting down on Ardariss. The high-level mental shield around Ardariss finally shattered completely, scattering into tiny sapphire-like fragments, eventually dissipating into the air.

Ardariss raised his arm, blocking the summoned beast's mouth. Although the beast was incredibly strong, it was already at the end of its rope after breaking through the mental shield. Even so, it still tore Ardariss's arm until it was bloody and covered in gore, blood spurting out, creating a tragic scene.

A trace of venomous light appeared in Yuan Zhan's eyes. The swarm of vampire bats he released covered the area like a cloud, blocking all of Ardariss's escape routes. Yuan Zhan's originally refined image was gone, and he clutched the scorched mark on his chest, gritting his teeth as he said,

"Die."

Yuan Zhan's voice sounded as if every word was squeezed out from between his teeth! Full of malice!

However, at this moment, Ardariss also slightly raised his head, looking at Yuan Zhan, his eyes as cold as the wind sweeping across the ice plains, with a hint of constant sarcasm. Even Yuan Zhan didn't notice that the electrical charges that had been snaking across the ground like small snakes had disappeared at some point...

"Mind Lightning is a direct attack on the most vulnerable, painful, and heartbreaking part of the enemy's heart..."

"But, no one knows that the main ability of Mind Lightning is not to harm, but to draw! Every time it attacks, it completely draws the enemy's suffering and feeds it back to me, and I will

store up these pains and cries from the soul, accumulate them, and let them slowly brew and ferment!"

"Then, there is the terrifying Mindstorm that sweeps everything away!!!"

In that instant, Yuan Zhan's cloak fluttered. In the void in front of him, a faint blue dot suddenly appeared, then slowly grew brighter and more intense, and then exploded, forming a sky full of blue and white electrical nets, covering a space of nearly a hundred meters!

These currents were intertwined like nets, constantly appearing and disappearing, sifting through the area. Strangely, this electrical net seemed to have no destructive effect on the surrounding environment, but as soon as it touched a living being, a large amount of smoke rose, and finally gathered on the surface of all creatures in the range, exploding with indescribable electric arcs!

Mindstorm!

This was Ardariss's real killer move, Mindstorm!! This was a whip-like damage directly affecting the enemy's mind, ignoring the enemy's defensive abilities! Similar to Fang Senyan's disease damage, of course, the priority could not be compared, and must have special resistance to offset the damage.

In that white, boundless storm, Yuan Zhan was stunned for a moment. The feeling of terror and excruciating pain instantly spread throughout his body!!!

His life-sharing ability was not high-level, so the life-sharing with his summoned beasts was bidirectional! That is to say, after being connected by this ability, some of the damage suffered by the summoned beasts would also be reflected back to him! There would be no repeated reflections. For example, if Yuan Zhan was hit by Mind Lightning and it was reflected to a summoned beast, the reflected damage suffered by the summoned beast would not be reflected back again.

"Damn it..."

Yuan Zhan tried desperately to move out of the range of the Mindstorm, but although his brain issued the command, his body was completely unresponsive due to the intense pain!! And Yuan Zhan's summoned beasts were, after all, living beings, and were also trembling and shivering in this terrifying Mindstorm... Within a short two or three seconds, several summoned beasts had stiffened in place, then their bodies stiffened like porcelain, cracking with a large number of fissures, and with a "crash" they shattered into countless fragments!

Yuan Zhan was also tragically reduced to a near-death state. Naturally, those summoned beasts that depended on his mental power quickly evaporated and disappeared into the air. At this time, Ardariss clenched his right hand forcefully, ending the operation of the Mindstorm. He stood up and strode towards Yuan Zhan! The Magebane, due to the temporary invincibility of the near-death state, also returned to Ardariss's hand.

"Traitor, die." After a flash, Ardariss arrived next to Yuan Zhan. He simply placed the Magebane on the neck of this vacant-eyed fellow, and with a light stroke, a stream of scarlet blood shot out from Yuan Zhan's throat. Then, the body and head separated, and not only blood but also a large amount of dark red organs spurted out from the cavities of the headless corpse, drenching everything in front!

But soon, Ardariss realized that something was wrong. Yuan Zhan's headless corpse was still spurting blood non-stop! The blood kept gathering on the ground, seeming to spread over his instep. Even more bizarrely, he had not received any killing prompts from the Nightmare Imprint, and the headless corpse of Yuan Zhan in front of him even began to squirm, like a zombie about to grab his neck.

Ardariss took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The blood on his hand dripped down little by little, following the Magebane and falling onto the ground, then seeping in and disappearing unnoticed.

"&, is that you? Only you can use illusions to the point where they can block my vision, successfully rescuing Yuan Zhan in his near-death state. But, do you think you can stop me with just that?"

A brick wall next to Ardariss suddenly wriggled. The red bricks that made up the wall began to move, rotate, and combine in a bizarre way, forming a very strange brick man. This brick man wore an exaggerated and grotesque clown-like smile, and said faintly in a hoarse voice,

"Your aggressive tactic is useless against me. Ardariss, you have indeed hidden great strength, but Yuan Zhan, that idiot, has also forced out your most crucial weakness! At least seventy to eighty percent of your powerful abilities rely on the Magebane to be brought into play. You must rely on the Magebane to continuously absorb and provide you with mp, and more importantly, this weapon should be playing a role in positioning, right? Only an enemy pierced by the Magebane can allow your positive charges to quickly find their target!"
