Chapter 514: Chapter 299 The Son of Heaven’s Ability_3

"Clang clang..."

In a series of crisp collision sounds, the wind blades seemed to have hit an invisible wall, completely dissipating just before the Son of Heaven without causing him any harm.

Mu You wasn’t fazed by this. With a swift move of his hand, he created the Dark World on the spot.

It was already late at night. The buff to the vampire’s skin had already reached its maximum. Using the Dark World here was primarily to block the enemy’s line of sight.

The effect of the Dark World, released closer to midnight, effectively robbed the surroundings of light.

Thick darkness instantly shrouded a few miles around, leaving everything within pitch black and barely distinguishable.

Mu You, Lin Xue, and Little Ya—all three of them—had the Night Vision inherited from the Forest Elves, allowing them to ignore this darkness. This gave them a distinct home-field advantage.

However, before they could make good use of this advantage, they heard the surrounded Son of Heaven utter a single word clearly: "Light!"

Immediately, a bright light engulfed the Son of Heaven. But this light did not spread outwards. Instead, it formed a ring about three meters in radius around him.

Inside the circle, it was as bright as day, but outside, it was still as dark as night.

As the bright light flared, Lin Xue launched her attack first, her scythe slashing towards the Son of Heaven from behind.

As if the Son of Heaven had eyes on the back of his head, just as the blade was about to reach him, he uttered another word: "Dodge."

His body twisted at an unimaginable angle, narrowly avoiding the blade.

Lin Xue’s attack missed. As she was trying to recover, she heard another word from the Son of Heaven: "Pin!"

Countless tiny bone spines appeared around Lin Xue, piercing towards her like a volley of arrows.

Her retreat blocked, even the fastest speed wouldn’t be enough for Lin Xue to dodge. Her Crimson Cloak, because of the cooldown, could only block one attack. This kind of concentrated ranged attack was the bane of her existence.

Fortunately, just as the bone spines were about to hit, Mu You sent a Life Barrier to support her from afar.

The next second, countless bone spines pierced down. Lin Xue’s body was covered in blood and her life was rapidly draining. But under the glowing Life Barrier, she managed to hold onto a sliver of her life and hastily retreated from the bright circle’s range.

The Son of Heaven did not pursue. Instead, he stayed in the center of the bright light, gazing warily at his surroundings.

"Spirit of Words?"

Mu You frowned. This man’s fighting style led him to understand the name of the skin he had seen earlier, ’Divine Envoy of the Word Spirit.’ It really seemed to be a word spirit type of ability, where anything he said could immediately come true.

Of course, in reality, it wasn’t so terrifying. The opponent’s word spirit ability was clearly limited.

First was the range. From that spherical white light, it appeared that the word spirit could only take effect within a range of about three meters radius.

Second, uttering a word spirit required the consumption of magic power, and the amount consumed was directly proportional to the content of the word spirit. The more powerful the word spirit was, the more magic power it consumed. If there was not enough magic power, it was impossible to launch.

This was why the Son of Heaven did not utter a word spirit that would directly cause Lin Xue to ’die’ when she entered his attack range. Because such a word spirit was too outrageous, the magic power it consumed would definitely far exceed his limit. Therefore, he could only use ordinary attacks to indirectly achieve the kill.

This ability seemed terrifying at first glance, but since it had weaknesses, it was much easier to deal with.

Mu You attempted to cast a spell that choked speech upon the opponent. Since it was a ’word’ spirit, the most direct way to counter it was to prevent him from speaking.

This targeted spell could not be avoided by the word spirit, and it successfully hit upon casting.

Unexpectedly, right after, a voice came from the Son of Heaven: "Break!"

The effect of the speech-choking spell was then lifted.

Mu You heard it distinctly. The sound didn’t come from the Son of Heaven’s mouth but from his abdomen. It was probably something like ventriloquism. Obviously, knowing his own ability’s drawbacks, he must have prepared in advance.

"Don’t get close to him, use long-range attacks, go all out!"

After signaling to the two of them, Mu You started his attack, unleashing a continuous barrage of fireballs and wind blades.

Since the adversary couldn’t be prevented from speaking, they could only try to exhaust him. As long as he had magic power, the opponent was nearly invincible. However, once his magic power was exhausted, the word spirit would naturally collapse on its own.
