Chapter 1349: Bin Yong’s (Temporary) Spellbook

“Get away!” Bin Yong shouted as he unveiled the spellbook right in front of him and it was shining brightly the moment he inserted a small bit of chi to activate it. Without any incantations, the spellbook slowly turned towards the Demon Rats as if it was detecting how many enemies it had to defeat.

Bu Dong and the other Armoured Alligators move backwards knowing that they would not want to get destroyed to bits by Bin Yong’s mysterious new (consumable) power at his behest. However, it was still easier said than done as the Demon Rats were aggressive enough to make sure that they did not get caught in the blast once they saw that blatant light shining right above them.

Without any further warning, the spellbook started to buzz with electrical magic and bolts of lightning streamed out from it, trailing towards the ends of the wall. Roughscream got caught in it as well but his club was able to block and subsequently deflect the streams of electricity from it. Yet, his minions were not so lucky as a number of them had been shocked and burnt by the lightning bolts. 

Meanwhile, Bin Yong was not keeping the spellbook back in his possession and he was allowing it to go for another round once more. This gave Luo Bo the idea for more collateral damage as she aimed her bow high with two unique arrows which teleported out from her storage ring. (How easy it was for modern archers who did not have to carry their arrows everywhere they went.)

“Intermediate Bow Technique, Arrow Squall!” Luo Bo shouted as she released her bowstring, allowing the two arrows to fly up high. A few of the Demon Rat snipers who saw Luo Bo shooting her technique so openly and in such a flashy way had decided to turn their guns towards her. However, she was clever enough to stand close to Xiong Da’s barrier, allowing her to avoid all of the attacks while her arrows did the job.

Arrow Squall was a technique that enabled her one arrow to turn into multiple arrows but they were not as deadly as her other mass area of effect arrows mainly because the Arrow Squall technique was meant to be status inflicting technique.

The arrows that split turned into a liquid of certain lethality which would corrode the armours of the Demon Rats but Luo Bo had made sure to reduce the lethality. This was because she wanted to utilise the liquid portion of the technique more than the poison that comes along with it. 

Bin Yong could see where it was going when he saw the arrows turned into water projectiles hitting the Demon Rats. At this point, he inserted even more chi into the spellbook even though he believed it was useless to charge the spellbook with chi. However, it seems like the spellbook ‘understood’ the predicament and started to flash even more brightly.

Roughscream also knew what was going on and decided to charge forward ignoring the collateral Demon Rats soldiers that were in his way. He knew that if he allowed the spellbook to discharge once again, there would potentially be no more Demon Rats on the top of these walls for the next few minutes. He got to stop it at all costs.

“Do you think I will allow you to do as you please?” Bu Dong said as he knelt and took out a box of mortar from his storage ring. He knew that those mortar shells needed to be prepped and aimed before triggering them but there was no time on his side either. Thus, he literally threw the box of mortar towards Roughscream and used his sword to summon out a chi slash to activate the mortar shells. 

The explosion was huge the moment the chi slash touched just one of those mortars, causing a chain reaction to the rest and Bu Dong believed that even if Roughscream was unscathed by it, the impact from it would no doubt stop him in his tracks (or even push him back) even just for a few seconds. 

But contrary to his pessimism, Roughscream had been thrown backwards by the huge impact and that few seconds was all that the spellbook needed to release a combined charge of four spells towards the Demon Rats. The streams of lightning that emerged from the spell book were wider and more intense, shocking each and every Demon Rat that was in its trail. Along with the impromptu preparation done by Luo Bo, almost every (not dead) rat had been fried by the burst of lightning that was summoned out by the spellbook.

“Do you think that crazy ass Demon Rat General would be killed by such an attack?” Bu Dong asked as he tried to get up with the help of the Armoured Alligator since they too were knocked back by the mortar explosion. 

The alligators only grunted as they raised their spears once more and pointed them forward as they all saw how Roughscream might have been roughed up by the explosion and lightning strikes but he was still alive and kicking.

“Guess that answered my question.” Bu Dong said as he turned back to check Xiong Da’s progress only to see that he was way too absorbed typing like crazy to even look at the situation they had created.

“You think this will be the end? That your parlour tricks are enough to stop us?” Roughscream said as he literally screamed and the earth around them started to shake. Even without looking, the Pandawans who had been on the battlefield for hours knew that the General had already started to call for more reinforcements and there was little they could do to stop it unless they got the transportation crystal up and running. Even the spellbook that Bin Yong had brought previously, turned into an empty notebook after utilising all of its charges against the initial horde.

“I can clear one more wave of Demon Rats with my arrows but I do not have much chi left. It’s either we die fighting till the last minute or we call it quits right here.” Luo Bo said as she too was tired from all the attacking. The snipers were still relentless even as she had killed them in the process. They somehow managed to find replacements and were not giving her or her team any breathing space. 

“I did not wish to use this so quickly.” Bu Dong said as he stepped forward, touching his storage ring. The Angry Ape Cultvitor had been keeping this for emergencies or when fighting against multiple Demon Rat Generals but the situation in front of him had unfolded in just a way that it was unprecedented for him to not use it. “Damn it, if only Deng Long was here too. It would have been much easier.” He thought to himself as he took the step forward in order to face the sole Demon Rat General that had been bugging them since the start of this war. 

But just as he was about to spur into action, a loud howl was heard from behind him.

“ANNNNNDDD ITS ALL DONEEEEE!” Xiong Da exclaimed as he pressed ‘Enter’ with the hopes that it would break especially after giving him such agony.
