420: Chapter 390: You Call This a Charge?!

(2/4) 420: Chapter 390: You Call This a Charge?!

(2/4) Whoosh!

The Spirit Energy Fist, gripping an armor-piercing spike, shot across the night sky like a meteor, stabbing towards Ian with an incredible arc.

The arm, originally shaped by Spirit Energy as a supplement to the Baron’s limbs, assisting him to exert force and move, Ian truly hadn’t expected it to fly out carrying a weapon to attack him

At the same time, Baron Leyan let out a roar from afar, and the dirt and stones around him and the vines from the grass and trees gathered onto his body like Armored Clothing.

This scene was much like the bone armor that Weyges had once condensed, but it was even more massive than the one that eventually covered Weyges’s body when he was weakened.

The Rockwood Whitestag is a sacred symbol to the Mountain People who worship it as the deity of the forest; a creature that can gnaw on Qing Steel Stone and incite vegetation to sprout in mountains once inhabited by Ancient Dragons.

They regard it as the master of the woodland, an Emissary of the Ancient Dragons, holding the power to command the mountains and forests.

Now, as Baron Leyan let out a silent roar, visibly shaking the rain close to his huge Rockwood body into a fine mist.

His swordsmanship was no match for Ian, and he couldn’t prevail in close combat even when he had the advantage in strength.

His ability to balance agility and power with his siege horn was also effortlessly neutralized by his opponent.

Indeed, the weather at South Ridge was perfectly suited for Water Series Sublimators in battle.

But that was not important, for the Earth was everywhere!

‘Forest Eye’ with night vision and Clairvoyance locked on the target, ‘Shockwave Bag’ gathered force, ‘Rock Gold Bones’ shaped the skeleton, while ‘Dense Forest Blood’ served as the fuel.

Baron Leyan raised his right hand, pointing straight ahead, and slightly squatted his legs, readying a stable posture against the recoil.

He aimed the hollow rock tube at Ian, who was still entangled with the Spirit Energy Fist.

A construct that was less an armor and more of a self-propelled cannon made of rock!

Actually run over there and ram into him?

Ridiculous!

Only Magical Beasts would do that!

Humans have always thrown stones!

This was the ultimate move of Rockwood Whitestag, a ‘sacrificial charge’ strong enough to make a hole in the mountain.

Boom!!!

A deafening explosion burst forth, and the supersonic, sharp-edged rock cannonball tore through the air, blasting the surrounding rain mist apart!

Suddenly, centered around this ‘rock longhorn cannonball’, a violent wave shattering everything and an explosive force of extreme concentration surged forth like a physical manifestation of the Rockwood Whitestag charging at the young man!

“You call this a charge?!”

Of course, Ian had sensed something amiss long ago, but it was only when the other party pointed what looked like an arm cannon at him that he was stunned into awareness.

In Terra World, although the systems were a mess, the Magical Beasts indeed possessed various incredible abilities.

Not to mention, the world’s technology was not low, and the knowledge level of the Nobles was certainly high!

This shockwave cannon truly was a Second Energy Level attack that could be conjured, and he had learned it.

Moreover, Ian had a countermeasure.

Click, click—two pieces of armor suddenly sprang off from behind the young man, and the icy blue Fairy Wings and Frost Comet Skeleton had already taken shape, with icy blue nozzles began to spray high-pressure cold air streams, instantly pushing Ian from his spot into mid-air.

Boom!

The rock horn cannonball struck the ground, causing a violent shaking in the surrounding dozens of meters of land.

The swirling air current was mixed with many rapidly coalescing ice shards, while Ian’s figure had already reached mid-air.

Whizz whizz!

With all propulsion forces burst, Ian’s speed at that moment was three times faster than when he was at the First Energy Level!

A speed surpassing one hundred fifty meters per second turned him into an arcing icy blue light that sliced through the rainy night, heading directly towards Baron Leyan who was still deploying the cannon!

Baron Leyan found him troublesome, and Ian thought the same.

Rockwood Whitestag was a Magical Beast with strong physique, defense, and vitality.

Apart from its shockwave roar, it lacked long-range and area attack abilities, but its high-speed charge was enough to trouble any enemy.

Yet now, the Bloodline Inheritance converted into human strength easily reversed this weakness.

The rock horn cannon paired with that Armored Clothing was like besieging a fortress, extremely difficult to handle!

But in Ian’s hands were several Alchemical Bombs; he wasn’t afraid of high defenses, just quick enemies.

Since Baron Leyan chose to turn himself into a fortress, he couldn’t blame him for blowing up the fortress as well!

In an instant, the boy’s figure disappeared from Baron Leyan’s blind spot, thanks to the Fairy Wings.

However, Baron Leyan, who should have been unable to judge Ian’s position, sharply turned his head and lifted his rock left hand that was originally stabilizing the cannon.

His fingers shot out amidst the vibrations, striking Ian’s hastily raised sword to block.

Immediately, the massive force sent Ian flying.

This was the downside of having a body that was too light compared to a Sublimator; although his mobility was high, encountering kinetic impact in mid-air required time to adjust and regain balance.

“Why can you see me?”

Doubts arose in Ian’s heart, but soon he perceived the reason.

Not far away, in the Cultivation Chamber area bathed in Spirit Energy light, three children were gazing at Ian in mid-air.

An invisible fluctuation connected them with the Baron, sharing the vision and perception of everyone involved.

At that moment, Ian had a clear realization.

——They were one.

——They were a family.

So…

“Indeed, you too have been distracted by me,” Ian, dodging Baron Leyan’s rock cannonballs in mid-air, revealed a smile: “Let’s call it even then.”

At this moment.

In the Cultivation Chamber area, an inconspicuous white butterfly was strenuously carrying an alchemical bomb, placing it next to a Cultivation Chamber, and with a ‘Horra’ sound, pulled out the pin.

Then it hurriedly flapped its wings to leave, leaving behind the red light on the alchemical bomb flashing on and off.

What followed was a severe explosion!

The Panshard Sand stored inside the bomb, stimulated by the sudden combustion and expansion of the high-pressure flammable liquid, also began to react with other Panshard Sand, and then blinding thunder rose from the interweaving friction, the sublimated Crystal Sand mist, immediately blooming like a blue-green rose, bursting forth with striking thorny branches and leaves, spreading out in all directions!

[Hmm?]

Even though Linda noticed something odd about the alchemical bomb, her purple-red eyes twisting and spinning, she animated the surrounding earth and sand, attempting to envelop the bomb, but how could ordinary materials withstand the destructive power of an alchemical bomb?

The cover of animated earth and rock was instantly riddled with cracks, as high-temperature gas and charged energy streams burst forth, carrying deadly impact!

[Moqiu!] Baron Leyan was instantly alarmed.

He immediately deactivated the cannon mode, ceasing his suppression of Ian,

Boom!

The incubator holding Moqiu was overturned and rolled away, but it was uncertain whether to praise Baron Leyan’s care or to sigh at the fact that the sturdiness of the Cultivation Chamber was comparable to alloy armor; the alchemical bomb did not shatter it, nor did it even crack.

But the immense shockwave transferred inside, causing Moqiu to briefly lose consciousness.

And because of this, the pale blue Vengeful Spirit that had been lying dormant in the central Cultivation Chamber, as well as the boy’s body that was gradually forming under Moqiu’s control, stopped shaping.

[Wuu…

wuu!!]

The faceless Vengeful Spirit suddenly lifted its head and then emitted a cry that was either clueless or sorrowful.

But compared to the echo-like weeping before, its cry at this moment seemed a bit more authentically real.
