Chapter 1061: Startled

Chapter 1061: Startled

Lying on the ground, Lin Rui felt the gradually weakening shockwaves blowing from the side, and he couldn’t perceive the current situation of the explosion.

After all, Lin Rui had already unleashed his own Psychic Power to save himself. At this point, he could no longer use much Psychic Power, and waves of pain continued to echo in his consciousness.

“I’ve suffered a great loss this time...” Weakly lying on the ground, Lin Rui silently thought to himself.

If Kaecilius had been killed by the bomb Lin Rui threw earlier, perhaps Lin Rui could have single-handedly prevented the impending crisis. Of course, he had paid a great price for it.

Without any special Recovery Serum in his consciousness, Lin Rui didn’t know how long it would take for his Psychic Power to recover from the damage.

However, it was also possible that Kaecilius wasn’t killed by the explosion. Due to the unique dark aura around him, the bomb’s power might not have caused him any harm. And once Kaecilius was unharmed, it was easy to imagine what fate awaited Lin Rui next.

Sigh...

Bang!

“Ugh! Ahh!” While Lin Rui lay on the ground, waiting for his body to slowly recover, Kaecilius’s furious roar suddenly came from the explosion site.

“He’s indeed not dead...” Lin Rui helplessly realized upon hearing Kaecilius’s roar.

Now, Lin Rui was like a lamb to the slaughter. Even if Kaecilius was injured in the previous explosion, judging from his current angry shouts, his injuries shouldn’t be too severe.

Clatter, clatter...

After Kaecilius’s roar subsided, Lin Rui heard footsteps approaching from that direction. Needless to say, it was Kaecilius coming over. After a few seconds, lying on the ground, Lin Rui felt a shadow blocking the sunlight above him. Then, he saw the disheveled Kaecilius standing beside him.

“Well, it did have some effect after all!” Lin Rui muttered to himself, finding it difficult to turn his head and take a look at Kaecilius.

By this time, Kaecilius’s sorcerer attire, which he wore before, was already in tatters. The hood on his head had also been burned by the flames of the explosion, revealing Kaecilius’s bloodied face underneath.

Apart from the injuries caused by the explosion, Kaecilius’s face and the wounds near his ears were inflicted by fragments of the Beheading Spirit Sword.

Of course, in addition to the visibly apparent wounds on his face, Kaecilius also had some injuries from the impact of the explosion. The most obvious one should be his left leg, which now seemed to be trembling and unstable.

Although it was unknown what exactly Kaecilius had experienced during the explosion, it was clear that the full force of the explosion had not been completely blocked.

Huff, huff...

Standing next to Lin Rui’s head, Kaecilius lowered his gaze, panting heavily as he looked at the mysterious young man lying on the ground. Kaecilius hadn’t expected that he already had a hundred percent certainty of being able to finish off the guy on the ground, but at the last moment, he was repelled by the powerful Psychic Power that shattered the power of the Dark Dimension.

It was not easy to break through the layer of dark aura surrounding Kaecilius, at least his own Psychic Power couldn’t penetrate it. In other words, Lin Rui had surpassed Kaecilius purely in terms of Psychic Power. So, even though Lin Rui was now lying on the ground like a vegetable, Kaecilius remained vigilant.

Swish!

While Lin Rui was staring at Kaecilius, he suddenly raised his right hand and swiftly swung it down towards Lin Rui below. As Kaecilius’s right hand descended, a semi-transparent long blade extended from his hand, reflecting a chilling glint under the distorted sunlight above.

As the semi-transparent long blade descended towards Lin Rui, he squinted his eyes and stared upwards, although the refracted light made it difficult for him to see clearly. However, through the semi-transparent long blade, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure rapidly approaching from above.

“That is...” In the next moment, dazzling light emanated from Lin Rui’s narrowed eyes, whether it was due to the sunlight or his own radiance.

Pū!

Just as the long blade in Kaecilius’s hand was about to make contact with Lin Rui’s chest, a white shadow collided precisely with Kaecilius’s wrist from the empty space. This white shadow instantly exploded upon hitting Kaecilius’s wrist, forming a small spider web that bound his wrist tightly.

In the next moment, a powerful force transmitted through the semi-transparent spider silk connected to the spider web.

Huff!

Under the pull of this force, Kaecilius’s entire arm was yanked upwards. Then, the tip of the blade that was about to pierce Lin Rui’s chest was torn away from Lin Rui’s side due to the force.

Pū Pū Pū!

Just as Kaecilius shifted his surprised gaze toward the source of the web on his hand, he saw a red figure swiftly rushing toward him.

Moreover, small white spheres were also flying toward him. Once these white spheres approached Kaecilius closely enough, they exploded, and a series of spider webs surged toward Kaecilius’s head.

Just as Lin Rui was enduring alone, on the brink of being killed by Kaecilius, Spider-Man, who had been blocked by the Mirror Dimension earlier, finally appeared.

And as soon as Spider-Man appeared, he rescued Lin Rui from Kaecilius’s hand. It can be said that if Peter had acted a moment later, the long blade from earlier could have pierced through Lin Rui’s heart.

Swish, Swish, Swish!

As the spider webs were casting over him, Kaecilius quickly swung the long blade in his hand to cut through them. Then, there was a surge of magical fluctuations behind him, and a magical portal appeared out of thin air.

Subsequently, Kaecilius took two steps back and walked into the portal. Before Spider-Man could reach him, Kaecilius disappeared, and the magical portal rapidly shrank and vanished.

Kaecilius chose to retreat decisively after facing the first round of relatively insignificant attacks from Spider-Man, not because he was afraid of Spider-Man. It was because, after Spider-Man’s appearance, dozens of Iron Man suits had already entered this world.

Moreover, Kaecilius keenly sensed the arrival of some powerful sorcerers, and that was the real reason he chose to leave immediately.

Huff!

After Kaecilius departed, Spider-Man stopped pursuing and immediately rushed to the side of Lin Rui, who was lying on the ground, along with the Iron Man suits.
