Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Not Playing Like This with You Guys

"Such a flashy display just to unleash a wave, truly a showy yet impractical Skill."

Black lightning flickered back and forth amidst the dust. Yang Yu stood inside the huge mouth of a Hani, arms spread wide, his face full of mockery,

"Hanis, line up by my command and fire at the enemy!"

The Hanis in the smoke lined up neatly like a well-trained troop, aiming their spears at Misha, who was hovering mid-air.

The giant Hani swept the Long Spear towards Misha, while the smaller Hanis shot their Long Spears like bows and arrows. Then, beams of Hani Light Wave burst forth from their mouths, continuously supporting the large Hani’s attack.

Misha, focused solely on dodging the giant Hani’s attacks and ignoring the smaller ones, chanted Magic from within her mouth and released large-scale destructive Magic spells at the Hanis.

"Red Lotus Hell"

"Blizzard"

"Gale Shattering"

No matter what kind of powerful or what attribute of Magic Misha unleashed, the group of Hanis continued to wave their weapons and launch Hani Light Wave attacks at Misha as if nothing were wrong.

This was a heavenly counter.

An innate counter by race.

The stronger the Magic she used, the more intense Misha’s feelings of frustration became.

Since it was discovered she had a high Magic talent, she had scarcely faced any setbacks in ability. Everyone was amazed that she could remember such complex spells at such a young age, and even the Ancient Demon King, taking a direct hit from her, had praised her profound knowledge of Magic.

But now, she truly had no idea what to do, facing these Hanis proved infinitely harder than facing the Demon King.

And the boy who had organized these Hanis just sat inside the giant blue Hani’s mouth, thoroughly enjoying the spectacular Magic being unleashed.

If that boy was their leader, then she had to find a way to deal with him. Dealing with that boy would definitely cause the Hanis’ morale to waver, and eventually, the leaderless Hanis would have no choice but to retreat in defeat.

"High-speed Circuit"

Having decided her attack route, Misha applied enhancement Magic on herself and suddenly charged at Yang Yu.

High-speed Circuit, a Skill that provided 100% movement speed for two seconds, belonged to the highest class of Acceleration Magic.

Yang Yu was covered by Magic Immunity from the Hanis, meaning that she could only attack him up close.

In this world, every creature who breaks through a certain threshold experiences a significant change in its own attributes.

Before breaking through, apart from her high Intelligence, Misha’s Strength and Defense were like those of a traditional Magician, fatally weak.

But after breaking through that threshold, not only did Misha’s main attribute greatly increase, but her other attributes also improved differently.

Now, Misha was confident in her physical abilities. Even without using Magic, just getting up close, she could overwhelm Yang Yu with her blank slate attributes.

"Every Mage really does have the heart of a warrior."

Facing Misha charging rapidly at him, Yang Yu remained calm and composed. When Misha’s fancy moves were less than a meter away, he suddenly crouched down, dodged her fist, grabbed her arms with both hands and flung her behind him, causing Misha to crash harshly against the wall inside the Hani.

Jumping down from the Hani’s mouth, Yang Yu pointed to the blue giant Hani’s mouth, instructing the small Hanis picking up their weapons, "The enemy can fly, those of you who think you won’t need your weapons, shoot them into its mouth, try to create as much damage as possible!"

"Received!"

Upon receiving Yang Yu’s command, all the small Hani who had just picked up their weapons hurled them toward the large blue Hani’s mouth.

Using hovering magic, Misha stopped the moment her head touched the ground, while the dense weapons blocked the only light inside the blue Hani and rushed toward her.

Left with no choice, Misha had to use "Protection Shield" to absorb most of the weapon damage, then tried to clear all incoming weapons with "Fiery Flame Storm."

However, although magic could still be used inside the Hani, its power was significantly weakened.

The "Fiery Flame Storm" Misha used was no different from a regular Fireball Technique, and the "Protection Shield" was shattered by countless weapons before time was up.

Helplessly, Misha had to withstand the attack of all weapons with her body, fully channeling her magic power to maintain flight, and flew out of the Hani’s body when the weapon storm paused.

Inside the Hani was a nightmare for magicians; every time magic was used, a mysterious force would continuously drain the magic power from her body.

Back outside, Misha was finally able to breathe fresh air, but that didn’t last long. The giant blue Hani swung its Sharp Spear at her.

Misha, who hadn’t recovered yet, was smacked against the wall by the giant blue Hani as if swatting a mosquito.

And the instigator of it all sat in the mouth of another blue Hani, shamelessly still laughing.

"In close combat, you can’t beat me."

Looking at Yang Yu resentfully, Misha took a deep breath, flew in front of the Hani, spread her arms, and a blue shield encompassed her.

When magic didn’t work and close combat was sabotaged, Misha had to try a new approach.

That was to not retaliate to attacks or words, trying to persuade Yang Yu and all the Hani to back off.

All of the Hani’s attacks hit Misha’s blue shield, which appeared to nullify all attacks, hovering motionless in mid-air.

This skill was called "Magic Shield," and as the name suggests, it’s a skill that used magic power as a shield. At its highest, a "Magic Shield" could absorb ten points of damage per one point of mana and could last indefinitely if kept stationary.

Being an unparalleled magical prodigy, Misha had also mastered this skill; she had over twenty thousand mana points, effectively giving her an additional two hundred thousand health points.

With the current level of their attacks, it would take a full day to deplete this shield.

"It’s useless, I’ve already activated the Absolute Defense mode, no matter how much more you attack, it’s futile. I advise you to stop wasting time."

Watching Misha’s draining mana, Yang Yu chuckled.

It used to be him deceiving others; today, someone had turned the tables on him, which was akin to performing a sword dance in front of Guan Gong.

Then, Yang Yu grinned mischievously and addressed all the present Hani:

"The Dark Origin has entered active defense mode. Next, I will need to perform a ritual to undo her defense mode, which will take up to two days. I ask for all units to relentlessly attack the defense mode of the Dark Origin for these two days, restricting her movements to prevent her escape. Even if she is in Absolute Defense, I will show you all in two days."

Upon hearing this, none of the Hani showed any displeasure and indicated that there was no problem.

For a demonic race like Hani, the concept of time is rather obscure; their two days felt like an hour.

Facing the Hani who happily responded to Yang Yu, Misha cried.

That’s not fair.
