Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Ways to Hurt Each Other_1

"Boom!"

As the scroll was torn, a large thundercloud suddenly gathered above everyone’s heads. Countless bolts of lightning fell from the cloud, attacking everyone within range except for the man in black.

"A magic scroll." Vivian said.

Mu You heard clearly. She was referring to a magic scroll, not a spell scroll. There was a huge difference between the two.

Upon tearing a spell scroll, one could only learn the spell within. A magic scroll, on the other hand, could store magic in advance. As soon as it was torn, the magic could be used directly.

With such a scroll in hand, even a novice could unleash powerful magic at any time. It was somewhat similar to a Magic Card, but disposable. Once used, it was gone.

For that reason, typically, the magic stored in a scroll was always powerful.

"So what spell is in it?" Mu You hastily asked.

"A forbidden curse, Lightning Storm."

"A forbidden curse?"

Mu You’s eyelids twitched. These advanced players were really rich, every item they casually took out was of a forbidden curse level.

"Shouldn’t we hide to avoid being affected?"

"Don’t worry, the effectiveness of a forbidden curse also depends on who is using it. Even if he is holding a forbidden curse, a level 12 guy can’t really do much with it due to his limited magic power. Being able to attack those few people is already his limit", Vivian casually said.

Indeed, everything happened just as she said.

The thundercloud only covered the range of the group of people and could not extend any further.

Inside the thundercloud, however, it was like a purgatory. Countless bolts of lightning struck down from the cloud.

The man leading the Illuminati had already sensed something was wrong as soon as Gao Ziming took out the scroll. And now seeing this thundercloud, his eyelids twitched wildly and he instantly yelled out, "Look out, take cover!"

Without his reminder, those who were halfway through charging already sensed the danger. They hurriedly retreated, but it was already too late. Their running speed was no match for the lightning.

The range of the thundercloud was wide. No one could run out in time. Furthermore, the lightning from the sky came fast and furious, and in the blink of an eye, the entire area was brightly illuminated by countless bolts of lightning.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Lightning struck endlessly, the sounds of which were lost within the thunderstorm and didn’t carry far. However, for those within range, these strikes were deadly.

All seven people were hit hard, crouching, jumping, rolling on the ground unconcernedly... using every possible effort to survive.

Shortly after, three people were hit directly on top of their heads and fell to the ground, burned black and killed on the spot.

One was too slow to dodge and got hit on the thigh. After going into convulsions from the shock, he collapsed on the ground, completely immobilized, and could only wait hopelessly for death to come.

Meanwhile, the man in black boldly exploited his caster identity, moved freely amidst the lightning, and swiftly snatched the backpacks of the three deceased. He then rushed towards the man who was struck in the leg.

"Gao Ziming, you dare!" the other three men shouted furiously in unison.

However, the man in black simply ignored them. He pulled out a dagger and stabbed the helpless man in the chest from behind, then grabbed his backpack and ran off.

With his departure, the thundercloud lost its magical support. Its power diminished quickly and soon disappeared.

The three surviving members of the Illuminati didn’t have time to check their comrades’ bodies. They instantly gave chase in the direction the man in black had fled.

The excitement was over in an instant. After the fierce battle, only the four bodies that fell in the pool of water were left under the distant rain. Their blood being washed away by the rain, leaving behind clean corpses.

Having witnessed the battle, Mu You felt relieved that he was far away. If not, he was afraid he would have been swept into it too.

As for the four distant corpses, going over now and searching might yield some spoils of battle. But the best items had been taken by others already, and these bodies surely would be inspected tomorrow. If he touched them, he would likely invite trouble.

Getting involved in this powerful faction’s dispute for a few unwanted scraps was obviously not worth it.

Mu You shook his head, ready to leave.

"Why are you leaving? Let’s follow them." Vivian suddenly said.

"Huh?"

"That man in black has something good on him."

"Oh?"

Mu You paused. What kind of item could be considered good by Vivian?

He quickly changed his direction, following them at a safe distance.

Whether to take risks depended on the potential gains. The prerequisite for taking risks was high rewards, just like now. If Vivian showed interest in something, he certainly had to follow and see what it was.

Mu You’s agility was not as good as the four people ahead, so he lagged behind slightly.

Fortunately, the four in front were fighting as they ran, their speeds also affected. Mu You occasionally used teleportation, which prevented them from losing him.

Mu You still dreamt of letting both sides fight against each other, and then he could take advantage of their dispute.

Unfortunately, the three members of the Illuminati disappointed him. After chasing for an hour and a half, they could not catch up.

Mu You watched helplessly as the four people chased each other from the city to the seashore in the suburbs.

During the journey, the harassment from the three people behind him never stopped. They regularly shot arrows, threw fireball spells, and other types of spells, but they could not catch up. They were always kept at a moderate distance.

"How can they be so incompetent..."

Mu You was speechless, he even wanted to help them himself.

But watching the direction the man in black was going, where was he trying to escape to?

Mu You was a little puzzled. The man in black was heading straight to the sea since he started fleeing. He couldn’t help but wonder, could this guy want to jump into the sea?

That would be too dangerous. Even for advanced players, being swept away by the waves and surviving would be a close call.

Just as Mu You was thinking, he saw the man in black chug down a bottle of blue potion. He then took out his magic wand, drew a circle in front of him, and started chanting.

"Stop him!" Vivian suddenly uttered.

"Huh?"

"That’s a Grand Teleportation Spell. Once used, he will be teleported several kilometers forward."

Several kilometers? Wouldn’t he teleport into the sea?

It turns out this man really plans to jump into the sea to escape!

Within a split second, the man had finished chanting his spell.

Mu You saw a teleportation portal appear in front of him. Beyond it was the roaring sea, and the man was already stepping through. It was obviously too late to stop him.

But that was not a problem.

Mu You reached into his pocket and wound the pocket watch.

Time revolved, everything went back five seconds earlier.

At this moment, the man in the distance had just taken out his magic wand and drew a circle. As he was halfway through chanting, an arrow suddenly flew from behind.

The man in black sensed something and dodged to the side, avoiding the arrow.

Although he dodged it, the distraction disrupted his chant.

The man in black glanced behind him, there was indeed an archer among the three pursuers. The archer was not powerful, but the timing of his arrow was surprisingly good.

"Coincidence..."

The man in black didn’t think much of it, he increased his speed and held his magic wand again, ready to chant the spell again.

"Swoosh!"

However, at this moment, another piercing sound echoed from behind.

"Damn it!"

The man in black instinctively dodged and avoided vital injuries. He didn’t stop chanting, willing to endure to complete the spell. As long as he could jump into the sea, they wouldn’t be able to touch him.

But an arrow struck his back. A sensation of numbness followed, causing him to stiffen on the spot.

Although this stiffness lasted for less than 0.1 second and then disappeared, it was enough to interrupt his chant.

"Damn it, who is it?"

The man in black was instantly enraged. Even if he was slow on the uptake, he could tell something was wrong at this point.

The timing was too perfect twice in a row, and the Illuminati’s Sagittarius didn’t have this skill level. Someone else must be meddling!

Because of these two delays, the pursuers behind him quickly caught up.

The man in black cursed under his breath. He didn’t run anymore, holding his magic wand, he turned around to face the three pursuers.

Seeing him stop, the three of them also hurriedly stopped and raised their weapons, aiming at him.

"Gao Ziming, surrender. You know you can’t escape. Don’t struggle in vain!" said the leading man from the Illuminati.

"Heh, do you think that just the three of you can stop me? You guys aren’t even blushing!" The man in black sneered.
