Chapter 249

Immediately thereafter, the flames erupting from the creatures joints propelled the lion-like giants figure forward, delivering a powerful blow to Lennok.

Boom!!

The force of the impact was so tremendous that it wouldnt be surprising if it caused the bodys internal organs to rupture upon a direct hit.

However, Lennoks response was not to evade the attack but to counter with the frigid power emanating from his hand.

Crack!

In an instant, the solid mass of icy coldness materialized in front of them shattered upon absorbing the white lions assault. The scattered shield fragments deflected the now-weakened impact.

That flame just now it looks very familiar.

Amidst the hundreds of ice crystals shattering and dispersing in the air, Lennok, with his purple eyes gleaming, remarked.

The art of ice-based creation magic.

[Crystal Explosion]

Boom!

The mana held by Lennok resonated with hundreds of ice crystals, causing them to detonate in mid-air.

While each individual crystal might lack the strength to scratch the robust body before them, when layered in the hundreds and unleashed in succession, it posed a formidable threat.

However, instead of retreating, the white lion swung the ax in his grasp with manic fervor, laughing uproariously.

Hahaha!!!

Using the flat side of his double-edged ax, he deftly deflected the crystal explosions that erupted right before him, continuing his relentless charge.

His attack was unrelenting, as though he had abandoned all caution.

Yet even Lennok, amidst this intense exchange, noticed something remarkable about the trajectory of the hefty double-edged ax.

In an instant, the white lion closed the distance once more, swinging his ax with enough force to cleave Lennok in two at the waist.

Whoosh!!

Flames billowed out from behind the ax, akin to a rocket booster, accelerating the massive iron weapon.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

The pressure it generated felt as though it compressed the very air itself.

Despite the lethal aura that seemed to paralyze his entire body, Lennok casually flicked his finger.

Simultaneously, as lightning illuminated the darkened sky, a brilliant blue bolt of lightning descended directly in front of Lennok.

[Thunder Calling]

Boom!!

The lightning, striking from the heavens to the earth, collided perfectly with the blade of the white lions ax, piercing through the creatures entire form and coursing down the heavy steel shaft.

That!!

Lennok had not anticipated the white lion would merely absorb the blow, let alone launch a counterattack before Lennoks own assault landed.

An excruciating pain, akin to the burning and withering of every muscle in his body, engulfed Lennok. But the white lion pressed on, undeterred.

Crunch!!

With bloodshot eyes, the lion-like giant clenched his teeth as though attempting to shatter them, and swung his arm.

The colossal ax blade, once more propelled by its fiery booster, sliced through Lennoks entire frame diagonally from below.

Crack!!

Five layers of shields shattered instantaneously, pulverizing Lennoks limbs that stood beyond them.

Ice fragments exploded into shards, scattering amidst the remnants of Lennoks frail, torn-apart body.

Amidst the hundreds of smooth ice fragments, each akin to a mirror, both the white lion and Lennoks forms were reflected.

Among these reflective surfaces displaying the shattered visage of Lennok, one particularly sizable ice fragment presented an intact image of him.

Aaaaah!!

It was only then that the white lion realized he had been ensnared by an illusion magic employing the reflections of the crystals.

Lennok, unscathed amidst the twinkling radiance of the ice crystals, continued his relentless motion.

Utilizing his unique lightning-based magic.

Property Change: Disperse

[Constant Thunder]

Boom!!

In his hand, a sphere of violently whirling lightning formed.

Harnessing the control of six distinct streams of mana simultaneously, Lennok fused them into a singular sphere, setting it into rapid rotation to generate an immense surge of lightning.

Lennoks exclusive magic, condensed to its utmost limits within his grasp, erupted directly before the white lion.

Boom!!

A vivid azure lightning illuminated the night sky, coinciding with the shattering of half of the levitating stone slab.

It emitted an intense heat capable of searing the soul and a blinding brilliance that threatened to scorch the eyes.

Thorben Towers distinctive magic, unrivaled in terms of instantaneous firepower among all elemental powers, enveloped and engulfed the entire frame of the white lion.

Hahaha!!!

Despite the agony that made him scream, the beast was consumed by manic laughter.

It was the ecstasy of battle, the intoxication of slaughter that had driven the creature to madness, echoing through the ash-filled night sky.

Boom!!

Emerging from the tempest of lightning, the white lion retreated for the first time, his once-lush mane now in tatters.

However, his eyes still gleamed menacingly with a murderous intent.

The flames gently cloaking the lion giants entire form had somewhat shielded him from the onslaught of Lennoks Constant Thunder.

Lennok regarded him with a slight furrow of his brow.

Man-eating lion I thought it was just a disgusting taste, but there was a reason behind it.

Can you use the mana of the humans youve consumed as prey?

The flames employed by the white lion were not an innate ability of this lion giant. Rather, they bore a structure more akin to the unique magic of the Blaiver Tower, as Lennok had previously sensed.

While using flames as a booster, injected between joints or infused into weapons, was one thing, Lennok had not anticipated the lion wrapping his entire body in flames to withstand the onslaught of Lennoks lightning and then retreat.

Such a level of application was beyond the capabilities of mere artifacts or relics.

It would only be achievable if he had directly employed the mana of the Tower elders he had consumed as his prey in this pit.

Realizing that his capabilities had been exposed, the white lion finally wiped the drool from his mouth and offered a smirk.

Huh Surprising, isnt it?

Taking the power of your prey is a predators privilege. And I am, by far, at the top among all predators in the world.

Lennok responded with a wry smile to his self-indulgent statement.

Heh, whats the problem if were low on mana?

Thuran laughed with a menacing aura.

If need be, we can just consume a few more mages from the Tower.

Oh? Dont tell me youre now saying we shouldnt eat any more.

A smug grin crept across the lion giants lips.

Ive fed you dozens for this moment today, havent I? Once youve been given prey, youre responsible for it.

I know. I have no regrets.

Geonis gritted his teeth and lifted his head.

My time of dedication to the Tower is over. Now, I live for myself.

Thats right. Thats the spirit

Boom!!

In an instant, as Thuran nodded with a smirk, his head was suddenly slammed into the ground.

A colossal ice pillar descended from the heavens, crushing the white lion beneath it. On the other side of the ice pillar, Geonis stared in disbelief at the mirrored reflection of purple.

Cr, crazy

Are you done talking?

The shields and fragments of ice crystals behind Lennok vanished into the dust and ash.

!!!

The duel with Geonis.

Having acquired ice magic capable of freezing and directly utilizing mana, Lennoks combat style had evolved once more.

Unlike his previous approach, where he primarily relied on shields to withstand attacks, Lennok now actively engaged in combat by physically crafting objects through ice magic.

In contrast to the ever-expanding pyro-magic characteristic of the Blaiver Tower, the primary feature of ice-based creation magic lay in the extraordinary efficiency of converting mana into tangible form.

Lennok anticipated the impending onslaught, solidified the mana entirely, and fashioned the desired shield accordingly.

It wasnt merely about standing ones ground; even the shattered fragments were repurposed as shields, effectively thwarting all incoming attack patterns.

With his third eye selectively responding to the onslaught from the two superhumans, Lennok skillfully preserved his body amid the immense storm of firepower.

You how did you

Though his hair was lightly singed, and a trickle of blood traced a scratch on his cheek, could that be considered an injury?

The presence of only such minor scrapes served as evidence that Lennok had meticulously calculated every offense and defense, minimizing the extent of harm.

The notion of enduring such a relentless physical barrage in place seemed implausible, and Geonis, struggling to comprehend, trembled as he attempted to speak.

Crash!!

Khaaaak!!

As the ice pillar shattered like fragile glass, the white lion emerged from beneath it.

His eyes blazed a furious, bloodshot red.

This bastard!!!! This time, Ill slaughter you from head to toe!!

How similar our thoughts are.

Lennok smirked, even as the lion threatened to eviscerate him.

However lets change the stage a bit.

What?

Lennok refrained from answering directly.

Instead, an explosion erupted from below, sweeping aside everything in its proximity.

Boom!!

It wasnt merely a simple explosion; it was a formidable strike that momentarily tilted the floating stone slab.

As Geonis, somewhat dazed, surveyed his surroundings, Thuran, who quickly discerned that something was amiss, shouted out.

Geonis!! Its from the southwest!!

!!!!

Just as Geonis turned his head, a green streak streaked across the night sky at a velocity faster than sound.

Beyond the crater, near the expansive volcanic expanse, the streak struck the stone slab.

Boom!!

With another shockwave, the slab tipped significantly.

Finally, as Geonis caught sight of Lennoks smiling countenance, his complexion drained of color.

Wait, dont tell me this is!!

Caught on, have you?

Lennok retreated with a grin.

In our group, only one person can perform such long-range shooting.

Ive made a mistake.

Geonis muttered darkly.

He had weighed the risk of being pinpointed by Evelyn during their previous skirmish.

However, rapid support of this nature would have been inconceivable without prior coordination.

The mastermind behind all this now stood before him, laughing.

So after agreeing to scout the volcanic region, you were actually waiting for this moment!!

If this is the game youve set up, I have no choice but to shatter the entire board.

Lennok had previously witnessed the genuine worth of her exceptional archery skills during their past collaborations.

Her capability to cover vast distances with her bow implied that, regardless of Evelyns location, she could provide extensive long-distance assistance for Lennok.

From the outset, Lennok had contemplated this scenario, nudging Evelyn to depart from the Tower.

Unlike firearms, archery with arrows grew in strength and potency with distance and wind.

By combining Evelyns expertise and magical prowess, a single arrow fired from such a distance could have the impact of an explosive.

Rumble!!

Atop the gradually tilting slab, Lennok laughed.

Lets settle this on the ground this time.
