s. First update then modify, no words to see, a better reading experience.

The Gold Lacquer Giant realized that Mr. Black and the others were ambushing him, but instead of being alarmed, he sneered.

After all, the gap in ranks cannot be bridged by a few tricks.

With the spatial lockdown in the stone cave, Mr. Black and the five others no longer needed to hide their auras.

The five of them wasted no words, and revealed all their hidden abilities.

In an instant, the auras of the five changed abruptly, and under their encirclement, they could faintly contend with the Gold Lacquer Giant.

"Do it!"

Facing such a powerhouse, they couldn't afford to be careless at all. The slightest mistake could lead to a fatal crisis.

The first to attack was the assassin who had disappeared earlier.

Although Suren couldn't see his figure at all, he could clearly hear the crackling of the rich lightning element in the air.

Looking closely, he saw the Gold Lacquer Giant's body surging with lightning, as if an extremely fast figure was darting around him. In just an instant, it turned into several arm-thick purple lightning chains.

The lightning chains were formed by elemental lines and had no physical form. The moment they took shape, the Gold Lacquer Giant was bound on the spot.

The Gold Lacquer Giant tugged hard, and the lightning crackled, but he was surprised to find that the lightning chains could also stretch and contract. He couldn't break them with brute force alone.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had guessed something, and said in surprise, "Elemental lightning chains? Heh... you rats have really found some good stuff..."

But then he snorted coldly, completely unconcerned: "It's a pity, how much power can you exert from such a high-level cursed object? It would have been better to keep it hidden. Since you insist on seeking death, I'll grant your wish!"

......

The lightning chains restricted the Gold Lacquer Giant's movements, but didn't completely immobilize him.

While speaking, the veins on his hands bulged, and he forcibly dragged the lightning chains to form a seal. As soon as the alchemist's seal was completed, the surrounding gold element flourished. Scales like those of a pangolin condensed on the skin of his entire body, covering his entire body, and his aura rose several notches again.

At this moment, even with the lightning chains around him, his speed was as fast as before!

The Gold Lacquer Giant stomped his foot and charged towards Mr. Black and the five others in front of him.

Although Suren didn't dare to look directly at the target, he didn't know what was happening.

But just the oppressive feeling of the golden light made him feel like a golden torrent was rushing over, with the force of destroying everything in its path.

In just a flash of lightning, he heard a dull sound like a bell ringing, echoing throughout the sealed space.

A red lava strongman collided with the Gold Lacquer Giant.

The shockwave crashed like a tsunami, and the entire space trembled violently.

The thousand or so top-level professionals were unharmed, but there was still a small fry here.

At the moment of the collision, Suren felt as if he had heard a cannon firing right next to his head, shaking his mind and soul. Unknowingly, a streak of blood flowed from his ear. The shockwaves continued to pierce his eardrums...

Suren's eyes were solemn. "Hah... these battles are indeed not something a second-tier professional can participate in..."

If he hadn't blocked some of the pain, this aftershock would have really caused him a lot of trouble.

Forcibly suppressing his scattered thoughts, he remained hanging upside down on the wall, like a stone, without any movement.

.......

The aftershocks of the two colliding were already so terrifying, so how about the combatants themselves?

The Second Stage Red Demon received a punch from the Gold Lacquer Giant, but a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

A direct hit from a Fifth Order powerhouse was not so easy to take!

But the Red Demon didn't let go. His arms were knotted, and he performed a grappling technique, instantly immobilizing the golden arm. The flames on his body suddenly blazed, and his whole body transformed into a lava giant, slowly pulling the golden arm full of scales into his body.

For a time, the scorching heat seemed to melt those golden scales.

[Red Demon] was originally a talent with an extremely exaggerated increase in strength. After the Second Stage Awakening, he had even greater power. But even so, it was extremely difficult to shake the golden giant.

The Gold Lacquer Giant sneered when he saw this.

Probably feeling confident of victory, he had a bit of a cat-and-mouse playfulness, and said unhurriedly: "Fire-type profound meaning [Melting Gold Technique]? That's a good idea. But you don't understand how big the gap in ranks really is. The difference in the grade of spells cannot be made up for by a little cleverness..."

While speaking, a seven-pointed star alchemical array suddenly lit up under the Gold Lacquer Giant's feet, and he shouted softly: "Flesh Alchemy - Vajra!"

As soon as this spell was cast, the scales on the giant's body suddenly stood on end, like a hedgehog. Looking at it, there was a dazzling sharpness.

Even more shocking was that as soon as his Fifth Order spell was cast, the blood-red seven-pointed star array under the Red Demon's feet suddenly dimmed. In an instant, the surrounding fire element was absorbed into the Fifth Order array.

"This is the Fifth Order..."

Looking at this phenomenon, Suren immediately thought of the records in the alchemical texts: "Rank Suppression! Elemental Plunder!"

An alchemist's spells are obtained by using the surrounding elemental power in equivalent exchange.

But the elemental energy in the same area is limited. How much can be converted, how much can be controlled, all depends on the strength of the alchemist.

If there are two alchemists casting spells at the same time, then the higher-level spell/alchemist can plunder more elemental energy, and even forcibly assimilate the lower-level one's spell into what the higher-level alchemist needs.

This is the gap in ranks!

As soon as this move was made, the Red Demon's scorching heat instantly seemed to be poured with cold water, and he could no longer do anything to the Gold Lacquer Giant.

As soon as he merged his fist into his body, the scales stood on end. Instead of melting the arm, it was like thousands of needles exploded in his body, instantly suffering heavy damage.

"Pfft~"

Another mouthful of lava-like black blood spurted out, splashing on the ground and burning out a puff of green smoke.

The Red Demon, who had awakened his Third Order Second Stage talent, was seriously injured in a head-on confrontation.

But it wasn't useless!

The time he bought also created an opportunity for Mr. Black and the others to attack.

.......

At the same time as the gold and red figures touched, Suren suddenly saw a seven-pointed star mark lit up under Mr. Black's feet. Looking at the sequence of his hand seals, it was actually the spell for unsealing the prosthetic.

"Fourth Order Prosthetic? So Mr. Black has already advanced to the Fourth Order..."

Suren was surprised. He had never seen Mr. Black's alchemical prosthetic.

The alchemist's seal was completed in an instant, and the scene inside the sealed space suddenly changed, turning into a library full of bookshelves. The redwood bookshelves were filled with dense rows of various gilded classics.

But what was strange was that although the classics seemed to have clear words, upon closer inspection, they were blurry.

Moreover, what was even more shocking was that a vast starry sky appeared on the top of the library.

Looking at it, the stars were shining, endlessly deep, and the more you looked, the more magical it became. It seemed to want to suck people's eyes in, making them unable to look away.

Suren was now very sensitive to mental power. When he saw Mr. Black's prosthetic, he immediately guessed what it was: "A mental spell is attached to the prosthetic? Could this be the very dangerous mental power secret technique that Mr. Black said he was practicing?"

"What a strange prosthetic, it's actually a library..."

While Suren was sighing, he suddenly had a very strange feeling.

He also realized that this might be related to Mr. Black's [Polymath] profession.

Moreover, Mr. Black was clearly taking care of the fact that there was still a Second Order professional here, and was afraid that he would be affected by the aftermath of the battle, so he put a bookshelf in front of Suren.

It wasn't over yet!

As soon as Mr. Black's prosthetic was unsealed, his hand seals didn't stop.

His whole person seemed to have merged with the library, and countless seven-pointed star magic arrays lit up on countless classics.

In the center of the library, the Gold Lacquer Giant had just wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue, adding a few punches to kill the Red Demon.

But looking at the changes in the surrounding scenery, his brows furrowed, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared. He muttered to himself: "He has already advanced to the Fourth Order and fused with a prosthetic like [Myriad Manifestations House]. No wonder he has the confidence to attack."

While muttering, he suddenly pulled out his arm, no longer paying attention to the Red Demon, who seemed to have been seriously injured.

Instead, he charged towards Mr. Black!

He wanted to kill the person he thought was the biggest threat first!

.......

Professionals who can advance to the Fifth Order are naturally not stupid.

After being led over earlier, the Gold Lacquer Giant had actually guessed that this might be a trick.

But he didn't care.

He also wanted to see where the companions of the few "rats" were, so he could wipe them all out!

No matter how fat the rats were, they were still rats!

The strongest in the underground world were Third Order professionals. Even if there was an ambush, he didn't think there was any threat!

But now, looking at Mr. Black, who had already advanced to the Fourth Order, the Gold Lacquer Giant felt threatened for the first time.

The other party knew that he was a Fifth Order professional and still dared to lock down the space and attack, so he must have been confident.

Now that the library was out, he faintly realized that there seemed to be an invisible net closing in, giving him a feeling of being completely seen through. It was as if... his underestimation had also been calculated into the plan.

Although the Gold Lacquer Giant still felt that the people in front of him were just a few rats that could be killed at will, looking at Mr. Black calmly forming seals, his instinct told him...

This person must be killed first!

.......

It wasn't that Suren hadn't seen Mr. Black attack before. When he was in the ruins, he watched Mr. Black seamlessly switch between four-element super-order spells, which amazed him.

But the aura of the Mr. Black in front of him was completely different!

As he formed that mysterious and complex set of alchemist's seals, the golden classics in the library also lit up with golden light, and he was actually casting a Fourth Order gold-type spell.

The mystery of the spell patterns lit up on the seven-pointed star made Suren even feel the oppressive feeling of seeing the runes on the blue-skinned living corpse in the basement of 88 Green Street.

This spell was obviously even more complex.

Before he could think more about it, the two had already exchanged blows.

How fast was the Gold Lacquer Giant's speed?

With this stomp, his body ejected like a cannonball, dashing forward a hundred meters. The astonishing speed was in stark contrast to his burly giant body.

But it was as if the timing was completely calculated.

When the Gold Lacquer Giant rushed over, Mr. Black had also pinched the last alchemist's seal. He clapped his hands together, as if triggering some special law. The gold element in the space instantly stagnated, merging with the vast Myriad Manifestations House.

The previous second, when the Gold Lacquer Giant saw that Mr. Black was using a gold-type spell, there was still a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Facing a Fifth Order gold-type alchemist, using a gold-type spell, how stupid was that?

However, just as his ridicule was about to come out of his nostrils, he suddenly noticed that the flow of the surrounding elements was abnormal, and his face changed instantly. He exclaimed in his heart: "This is not an ordinary arcane spell... he... he actually knows 'Elemental Theft'!"

Mr. Black ignored the fist that was already close at hand and changed his hand seals: "Melt!"

At this time, a bizarre scene appeared.

The gold lacquer that solidified on the Gold Lacquer Giant's body like golden armor actually flowed to the ground like melting wax.

Earlier, in order to quickly kill a few people, this guy had condensed a large amount of gold element in the sealed space.

This made it impossible for others to use any elements!

But this rich gold element in the entire space not only didn't become the Gold Lacquer Giant's help, but instead, because the elemental state was changed by some kind of law, it turned into a mud pit.

This made the Gold Lacquer Giant run slower and slower, like he was sinking into a swamp, with a tendency to be trapped!

.......

Under normal circumstances, when a Fifth Order spell meets a Fourth Order spell, the former would undoubtedly collapse in one hit.

The gap in ranks could no longer be made up for by the grade of the spell. No matter what ordinary spell or arcane spell... it was impossible.

But this alchemist, Mr. Black, didn't choose to confront it head-on. He chose "theft"!

He stole the gold element that the Gold Lacquer Giant had condensed and directly changed the state of the element, giving people a strong sense of "using the opponent's strength against them."

Using perhaps less than 10% of his strength, he moved the enemy's 100% strength.

"What exquisite means!"

Although Suren couldn't understand the mystery in this spell, based on his current understanding of alchemy, he also guessed the principle of this spell of Mr. Black's.

To crack a spell with skill, it also means that you must have a full understanding of the spell.

It also means that although Mr. Black is not a Fifth Order, he must have a very deep understanding of Fifth Order spells!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "How much knowledge is stored in Mr. Black's brain..."
