Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Breaking the Formation (Thanks to "Don\'t Want to Drive, Just Want to Slack Off" for the 5000 Points Reward)
The man in black breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that blocking a third blue fireball should pose no problem, and that in a few more moments, the Teleportation Array would be fully activated. Then he could teach this arrogant Lis a lesson.
As the man in black was fantasizing about how he would deal with Viscount Kane at the prepared secret location, a sudden change occurred!
The third blue fireball, seemingly no different from the previous two attacks, exploded violently upon striking the Advanced Elemental Shield.
Sizzle—Boom!
The violent explosion erupted before the man in black, causing the Advanced Elemental Shield to disintegrate under the terrifying impact.
Fortunately, most of this massive shockwave was blocked by the seemingly ineffective Advanced Protective Field, or else the man in black\'s fragile body might have perished on the spot.
Nevertheless, even so, the man in black\'s clothes were torn to shreds by the remaining force of the impact, and the blue flames stuck to his body like flesh-eating maggots, burning his flesh all over.
"Ugh—gurgle—"
Pain to the extreme emitted from the man in black\'s throat, his facial muscles twitching violently.
The reason for the abnormal explosion of the third Blue Ball Skill was the Three-Ring Magic "Catastrophic Explosion" that Lis had added to it.
This was one of the arcane spells newly developed by Lis, which could attach the explosive energy to other Shape Changing Magic, and activate it as the spell neared the enemy, destroying the attached spell and converting all the energy into a special shockwave to target the enemy\'s Protection Magic.
First use in actual combat, and the effect seemed to be quite significant.
It directly broke through the man in black\'s two Four-Circle Protection Magic shields and critically wounded him.
The shockwave destroyed the man in black\'s clothes, revealing his true face to Lis.
As expected, it was him!
Camus!
Lis only had a glance, but had no intention of asking why he tried to ambush him.
Right now, destroying the Teleportation Array beneath his feet was the most urgent matter!
With five breaths left until activation, the Teleportation Array had already been partially initiated. Even if he rushed up and killed Camus, it would be futile.
Lis, who often used this trick in his past life to trap people, clearly knew not to waste this bit of time!
One of the Magic Runes in the Teleportation Array had already been mostly destroyed by Lis, it seemed it would take two or three more strikes.
Lis gritted his teeth, he couldn\'t conserve his strength anymore, who knew what awaited him beyond the Teleportation Array.
---------------
[You have used the "Secret Treasure: Acadia\'s Lucky Brooch"]
[You\'ve entered Lucky status, duration: 5 seconds]
---------------
Ignoring the negative effects of using the Luck Brooch, Lis, now buffed with Lucky status, charged up another strike and slashed it at the half-destroyed rune.
At that moment, the Magic Rune Sequence of the Teleportation Array seemed to momentarily stutter, and the rune Lis was slashing at suddenly dimmed for half a second.
In that half second without protection, Lis\'s blade "just happened" to hit the rune.
Hiss—
The unprotected rune couldn\'t withstand Lis\'s destruction, and along with the stone bricks underneath, it was neatly cut in two by Lis.
"Damn, that was fierce!"
Lis felt somewhat surprised, enjoying the feeling of moving up from an African Chief to an Emperor of Luck.
Even if it was only for five seconds.
As the rune was destroyed by Lis, the entire Short Distance Oriented Magic Transmission Array broke apart with a twist, the priceless Array was utterly destroyed just like that.
Fortunately, it was only a Basic Magic Array, not stable enough, with a long activation time.
Otherwise, even if he could recognize it, he wouldn\'t have had the chance to interrupt the activation of the Magic Array.
Seeing that there was still three seconds left in his Lucky status, Lis didn\'t have time to rest and hastily took a hammer from his storage ring and smashed it towards Camus.
Severely burned and unable to use Protection Magic due to the chaos of Magic Power caused by the shattered Array, Camus had no choice but to get up and prepare to dodge to the left.
Just as Camus was getting up and stepping aside, a banana peel seemed to have been lying on the ground waiting for him to step on it.
Unsurprisingly, Camus stepped right onto the banana peel and his body tilted forward, toppling over.
His forehead "just happened" to meet the hammer that was thrown his way.
Duang~
Lis felt as if he saw the words "Critical Strike" and "hit the vital point" pop up above Camus\' head.
This Intermediate Mage named Camus was knocked unconscious by Lis with a single blow.
Lis smirked with a mix of laughter and tears, thinking that the Luck status effect was just too powerful.
The bananas from the southern coastal regions of the continent were considered extremely rare and precious in Bright City.
Lis hadn\'t even tasted one yet!
And yet, a piece of banana peel had appeared here, causing Camus such terrible misfortune.
No, it should be said that it was Lis\'s luck that was incredibly good.
Although such a probability was not non-existent, when it actually happened right before his eyes, Lis found it somewhat surreal.
---------------
[Your Lucky status has ended]
[You have gained the Unlucky Fellow effect, duration: 72 hours]
---------------
Lis, seeing the prompt refresh on his system panel, shivered subconsciously.
If the Luck effect was this strong, how serious could the Unlucky Fellow effect be?
Surely I won\'t choke to death on a sip of water.
Lis didn\'t notice that not far away, in the shadows, the figure of butler Joyce was slowly fading away.
As soon as the Teleportation Array was formed, Joyce had already felt the magical fluctuations and stealthily approached to watch the situation from not too far away.
He didn\'t rush to rescue Lis; instead, he calmly waited for Lis to handle it himself.
Being a Legend himself, he had the ability and confidence to pull Lis out at the last moment if necessary.
However, Lis\'s performance was a pleasant surprise to him, as he easily subdued the attacking Intermediate Mage.
Despite the use of that peculiar treasure, the one who stands last is the winner, and that\'s all that matters.
But soon, Joyce\'s brow furrowed again.
So which family would target Little Lis like this?
I thought I had eliminated all of my master\'s enemies, strange.
Turning his head, Joyce looked at Welf and the others who were rushing over and shook his head.
If Little Lis had to rely on you for protection, he would have been gone long ago.
Unbeknownst to them, in a previous life, even he, a legendary strength in his own home, hadn\'t managed to save Lis in time, and even the chance for resurrection had been destroyed.
"Master Lis!"
Welf, leading a few guards, ran over with a clatter, startled by the mess around Lis.
He had just returned to the mansion when he heard a loud explosion from the direction where the young master had left and hurried over with his men to check.
Thankfully, the young master wasn\'t in any trouble!
After checking Lis thoroughly and confirming he wasn\'t injured, Welf let out a long sigh of relief.
He had thought that he was about to lose his life.
Lis, feeling helpless, waved his hand to dismiss his guards from crowding around him and had the unconscious Camus carried back.
Although the battle was brief, it had nearly exposed all of Lis\'s abilities and cards, so naturally, he wouldn\'t let Camus off that easily.
