Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Luck Emperor Never Says He’s a Luck Emperor

Magic chanting completed, Bai Jin used "Frost Ice Arrow" to immobilize one of the dark shadows. Even though she hadn’t mastered the highly difficult "Dancing in the Air," Bai Jin still relied on her own diligent practice and learned some chanting simplification techniques from Li Yan.

Although these techniques were not yet skills of her own, they had already reduced her casting time and movements significantly, giving her the upper hand in the encounter with the dark shadow.

The remaining two dark shadows, unwilling to watch their companion being suppressed single-handedly, lunged at Bai Jin with their claws.

"Thorny Binding"

Thorns with spikes burst from the parched earth, entangling one dark shadow’s arm and restraining its movement.

The other dark shadow, seeing this, tried to cut the thorns with its razor-sharp claws, but at that moment, Yang Yu appeared before it, raised his shield to block its attack, and with one sword stroke, he chopped off one of its arms.

"Iyas, you handle the damage output, hit hard where the core is!"

Iyas slowly drew her longbow, filled the string, "Don’t ask me to do something so difficult, I’m not always lucky. If every arrow could easily hit the core, you wouldn’t need to work so hard!"

The dark shadow entangled by the thorns struggled fiercely, emitting a strange hissing sound. Iyas steadied her stance, aimed for its head, and released an arrow that crashed through the air. With a "bang," the golden arrow seemed to hit something hard, instantly shattering it and triggering an explosion.

The headless dark shadow fell to the ground, its body made of blackness turning into streams of black energy that surged back into the dark miasma.

Iyas looked bewildered, tilting her head slightly.

Huh? Is that it? Could my luck really be that good?

No, I can’t jump to conclusions yet!

Drawing her bow again, Iyas aimed for the dismembered dark shadow entangling Yang Yu. She drew the string and shot an arrow through the dark shadow’s head.

This time, the dark shadow ignored the arrow stuck in its body as if nothing had happened, gathered black energy to form a new claw, and tore at Yang Yu.

Yang Yu, unfazed by the danger, jumped back to avoid the attack and stabilize his stance, then charged at the dark shadow like a bullet.

Seeing that her arrows had not defeated the dark shadow, Iyas breathed a sigh of relief, "See, my luck isn’t as good as I thought. At best, it’s just a bit better than the average person."

Shield and sword clashed alternately with the claws. Yang Yu briefly glanced at Iyas behind him and saw her self-satisfied upon missing the core. He was speechless.

Luck Emperors never admit they’re Luck Emperors. Not in a lifetime. At most, they’ll admit their luck is just a bit better than the average person.

What Luck Emperors do best is sharing pictures of their occasional misses, "Oh dear, look at me, how pitiful. I didn’t get a single SSR in ten consecutive pulls. The official rates are so touching." Complaining to others while feeling sorry for themselves.

Or bragging about the rarest equipment they’ve looted, "What trash equipment did I loot? I blasted ten of these today," whining everywhere, achieving true invisible boasting.

In Yang Yu’s eyes, what Iyas was doing was no different from the above. He had stabbed the dark shadow more than twenty times to no effect. Meanwhile, Iyas effortlessly blew up two dark shadows with two arrows, making him, the chieftain, want to hand her a spear directly.

"Iyas, if you have time to daydream, better shoot a few more arrows and deal with these dark shadows quickly."

Although the dark shadows seemed powerful, their attack pattern was very random, devoid of any strategy, relying purely on strength.

Yang Yu didn’t want to entangle with such trivial monsters. While dodging, he vigorously probed with his sword for the core’s location.

Just when he finally found the core, Iyas drew her bow and casually shot through the dark shadow’s core.

Sometimes, Luck Emperor seemed as if he had cheated, so unreasonable.

Bai Jin’s battle was also drawing to a close. She used the "Frost Ice Arrow" to freeze the shadow’s movements, taking the upper hand. She immediately replaced the sharp "Frost Ice Arrow" with the "Fireball Technique," which had a certain explosive effect to search for the core hidden within the shadow.

Once she found the core, she focused her firepower and shattered the shadow’s core.

The shadow fell with a loud crash, turning into black energy and flowing into a black bubble.

The lake became still, and the black bubble floated quietly above the lake, as if everything had returned to calm.

...

At that moment, above the Fairyland, a pair of eyes was watching everything that happened within the Sealing Barrier.

The Surveillance Magic she used was extremely covert and ancient, attached to the barrier that protected the fairies, completely undetectable to them.

Even if it was discovered, the fairies would only regard this Surveillance Magic as part of the barrier.

This Surveillance Magic could search a wide area for the desired position to monitor, providing surveillance twenty-four hours a day.

The downside was that only one surveillance spell could be activated at a time, and it could only monitor one location, not allowing for an all-encompassing observation of the Fairyland.

Moreover, this Surveillance Magic was very old, left behind by the predecessors of the Library. The visuals observed through the Surveillance Magic were somewhat blurry, like a 360P quality video animation that had gone through a series of transmissions, ultimately damaging the image quality.

Yet, the achievements of this Surveillance Magic were still undeniable.

It was through this Surveillance Magic that the Library’s higher-ups were able to accurately assess the strength of the seal placed by the fairies, determining the duration and maximum stress the seal could withstand, leading to the conclusion that "continuing to wait a while longer would be alright."

To prevent any accidents, the Library’s higher-ups also assigned personnel to continuously monitor the condition of the seal.

Right now, the person watching by the Crystal Ball was Baronaco. Through the blurry images, she saw three people enter the barrier and engage in battle with one of the shadows.

"Something is odd."

Baronaco muttered to herself,

"Based on past experience, the Library would not send people so quickly. Even if the Special Decision Committee advocated sending a team promptly to aid the fairies, it wouldn’t be this fast."

Many old relics still held on to their old views, believing that only by providing timely aid to the fairies would these little creatures be grateful and obedient to the Library. Bypassing them to directly assist the fairies was simply not possible.

This meant... they were not people sent by the Library?

Judging by their size, the ones who entered could not be fairies...

How exactly did they get to Fairyland, and how did they come to know about it?

Full of questions, Baronaco focused on the leading man, a figure whom she had conversed with amiably and who had left a deep impression on her.

"Those words back then, were they just him being mysterious? But why does my intuition tell me that the person inside is him... Could it be that he really noticed something and knows the way to Fairyland?"

It couldn’t be possible, could it?
