Chapter 111 Battle of Life and Death
Lin Yi took a deep breath, gripped his magic wand tightly, and stared intently at the behemoth before him—the monster guarding the ruins. The monster's body was as majestic as a mountain, its muscles bulging. Every step it took caused the entire ruins to tremble.
The monster opened its bloody maw and let out a deafening roar, the sound waves spreading like ripples, deafening. Then, it swung its thick and powerful forelimbs, stirring up a gust of wind, and pounced towards Lin Yi. Lin Yi dodged sideways like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the monster's fatal blow. However, the aftermath of the monster's attack still shattered several boulders around him, scattering debris everywhere.
Lin Yi didn't dare to relax even a little. He retreated rapidly, waving his magic wand. As he chanted, brilliant, colorful magical lights burst out from the tip of the wand, dazzling like fireworks. These magical lights roared towards the monster, but when they collided with the monster's incredibly hard scales, they only splashed sparks, unable to penetrate its defenses.
"Damn it! How can this guy's defense be so amazing?" Lin Yi secretly groaned inwardly. Although he had already unleashed his most powerful magical skills, facing this indestructible monster, all his efforts seemed so pale and powerless. However, Lin Yi did not give up easily. He gritted his teeth and continued to rack his brains for a countermeasure.
The monster opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar. The sound waves swept over like a tidal wave, making people shudder. Then, its huge body pounced towards Lin Yi again like lightning.
Seeing this fierce attack, Lin Yi did not dare to be careless. He rolled on the ground nimbly and narrowly avoided the monster's fatal attack. However, he was too hasty and accidentally bumped into a huge stone pillar standing nearby.
A piercing pain instantly shot through his back, threatening to tear him in two. But the situation was dire, and Lin Yi couldn't afford to delay even a moment. He gritted his teeth, endured the excruciating pain, and quickly stood up. His gaze locked onto the still-baring monster before him, he continued to concentrate on dealing with its ferocious, violent attack.
As time went on, this thrilling life-and-death struggle intensified. Just as Lin Yi was engaged in a fierce battle with the monster, he suddenly noticed that the ferocious monster before him always seemed to be a little less active in its left eye with each attack, as if it was wary of that area.
"Could it be that... that's its weakness?" This thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind like a flash of inspiration. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
Lin Yi made a decisive move, deciding to seize this fleeting opportunity and deliver a fatal blow to the monster. He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and focused all his attention deep within himself, beginning to mobilize and gather all the magic power around him.
Instantly, a powerful and majestic magical power surged through his body like a surging tide. Simultaneously, the air around Lin Yi seemed to be influenced by some mysterious force, gradually becoming heavy and oppressive, even emitting faint wisps of light visible to the naked eye.
The monster sensed Lin Yi's intention and launched a more frantic attack, trying to stop him. But Lin Yi gritted his teeth, withstood the pressure, and finally completed the preparation of the magic.
"Watch out!" Lin Yi shouted and shot the magic power condensed in his hand towards the monster's left eye.
A dazzling light flashed and accurately hit the monster's left eye. The monster roared in pain and fell to the ground, rolling over.
Lin Yi took the opportunity to rush forward and launched a series of magic attacks again, giving the monster no chance to breathe.
After a fierce fight, the monster finally stopped moving, fell to the ground and turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.
Lin Yi collapsed to the ground exhausted, breathing heavily. His body was covered with scars, but his eyes gleamed with a glint of victory.
"Finally solved." Lin Yi muttered to himself.
Chapter 48: The Secret of Space Magic
After a short rest, Lin Yi forced himself to stand up and continued searching the ruins for clues about how to return home. He returned to the room where the ancient books were stored and carefully studied the parchment scroll that recorded space magic.
The words on the parchment were obscure and difficult to understand, but Lin Yi relied on the magical knowledge he had accumulated on the continent of Aesera to decipher the mysteries bit by bit.
After several hours of hard work, Lin Yi finally gained a preliminary understanding of this spatial magic. However, he discovered that casting this magic required a huge consumption of mana and also involved certain risks.
"No matter what, I'm going to give it a try." Lin Yi made up his mind.
He took a deep breath, calming his nerves. Then, following the instructions on the mysterious parchment, he meticulously set up an incredibly complex magic circle within this ancient, yet dangerous, ruin. His movements were skillful and gentle, as if he were handling not cold magical materials but the world's most precious and fragile treasure.
He slowly squatted down, gently unzipped his backpack, and took out pieces of priceless magical materials that shone with strange light. Some of these magical materials were in the shape of crystal, while others were like burning gems. Each one contained enormous energy and magic power.
He narrowed his eyes, carefully comparing the pattern and instructions on the parchment, and carefully placed the magic materials one by one in their specific positions. Each time he placed them, he would pause for a moment, confirming that everything was correct before moving on to the next step.
As time passed, the magic circle gradually revealed its complete form. At this moment, a surging and powerful magical wave suddenly rose up in this silent ruin like a storm, and quickly spread in all directions.
Lin Yi stood firmly in the center of the magic circle, his eyes closed, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression focused and solemn. He cast aside all distracting thoughts and focused his mental energy wholeheartedly, striving to mobilize all the magic power hidden in his body.
As the overwhelming magical energy gathered like a tide, reaching its zenith, Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes and chanted aloud an obscure spell imbued with mysterious power. Instantly, the entire magic circle erupted like a ignited powder keg, emitting a dazzling, radiant light. This light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the once dim and gloomy ruins like daylight, and even the faint, ancient runes on the surrounding walls were now clearly visible.
However, just when everyone thought everything was about to be accomplished, something unexpected happened. The magic circle, which had been operating steadily just moments before, suddenly and without warning began to tremble violently, like an uncontrolled beast breaking free from its restraints. Simultaneously, the powerful force originally intended for Lin Yi to wield began to violently counterattack its master.
"Not good!" Lin Yi's heart suddenly tightened and he secretly cried out that something was wrong.
He quickly stretched out his hands in an attempt to control the chaotic situation before him, but the backlash of the magic power became more and more fierce and violent, like a flood that broke through the dam and was unstoppable. He gradually felt an unprecedented huge pressure and pain, which was almost beyond his endurance limit.
