Chapter 898: 280. Friendly Fire_2
“I understand! I understand! The wild magic of thunder and lightning that Noland Lee Jarvis wields becomes a dark cloud when used above water and transforms into some kind of unique underwater magical creation when used below! It must be so! What a miraculous wild magic! I can hardly wait to get my hands on it!”
Benjamin Jelani turned his head to look at the stunned Lonco:
“After Hotams researches Noland Lee Jarvis’s wild magic, they must keep a copy of the Spell Blueprints for me, do you hear that? Lonco!”
“Yes, Your Excellency,” Lonco snapped back to reality and bowed in response.
The ringing of a messenger reached his mind.
A letter arrived via the Magic Conch, bearing the message from Selena to commence battle.
...
Lonco immediately drew his magic wand and pointed to the heavens, opening the Teleportation Gate to communicate with the Deep Sea Branch.
…
…
“Sir! We’ve succeeded!!”
Nolin screamed in delight:
“The Underwater Capacitor Mechanism Spirits have breached 15 primary targets! The Magic Barrier of the Queen’s Barrier has been destroyed!!”
Nolin jumped up from her chair, excitedly flailing her arms to vent her joy.
Noland Lee looked at her with a smile and nodded in satisfaction:
“Very good, Nolin. You’ve completed the Task perfectly. Your performance is impressive.”
Nolin stopped jumping and turned to Noland, bowing repeatedly in thanks:
“Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity! I am very, very grateful!”
Nolin straightened up, adjusting her crooked glasses, cheeks flushed with excitement, eyes sparkling:
“Without the 1,500 Device Spirits and Information you provided, I could never have completed this Task! I can’t even find the right words to express my gratitude to you!”
“There will be many more opportunities like this in the future,” Noland said, patting the chair, gently speaking:
“I will not only leave the opportunities to you, but I will also help you create more magic crystal tubes and Device Spirits for your use and command. These details are all written in our soul contract, and I will fulfill them. Please take a seat, let’s continue.”
“Yes, Sir!” Nolin nodded gravely:
“I will also earnestly fulfill the contract. No. Even without the contract, I am willing to serve you.”
Nolin collapsed into the chair, starting to check the status of the scene.
Noland rubbed his nose, gradually getting used to Nolin’s enthusiasm and politeness…
He pulled up the Magic Vision of both sides of the Queen’s Barrier to inspect.
Fifteen critical Energy Nodes, each had endured the assault of 100 Capacitor Pack Device Spirits.
Just now, at that moment, these Energy Nodes had collectively suffered an onslaught of 1.5 billion points of Thunder and Lightning Energy.
Spread over each node, that made it 100 million points of Thunder and Lightning Energy.
The Queen’s Barrier was constructed with Deep Sea Magic by Sea Monsters.
Its primary materials are Sea Water and Deep Sea Magic Power.
As everyone knows, sea water is a natural conductor.
Therefore, the Lightning Damage Resistance of the Queen’s Barrier was naturally terrifyingly low.
The Panel provided by Deconstruction showed that those 15 Energy Nodes had a Construct Value of 70 million points, while their Lightning Damage Resistance was a big duck egg, that is, 0%.
100 million points of lightning energy hitting a node naturally resulted in an oversaturated attack, ripping the node to shreds in an instant.
The entire Magic Barrier of the Queen’s Barrier collapsed like a fractured Glass Dome.
Countless pieces of energy film resembling shattered glass sank to the seabed, falling onto the heads of Sea Monsters and Wizards like a Heavy Rainstorm.
The Thunderstorm also stirred up a vast amount of Sea Water, creating numerous fast-flowing and powerful torrents.
The torrents not only swept away Wizards and Sea Monsters but also pushed the heavy Pirate Ships and Magic Mechanical Ships a hundred meters away. noveldrama
The sand on the seabed was also stirred by the water stream, and the waters at the Seabed became turbid.
Noland paid no attention to the startled Sea Monsters and Wizards.
He looked towards the fragmented Queen’s Barrier and cast several spells of Deconstruction.
“Hmm~ excellent,” Noland thought to himself:
“The Construct Value of the entire Queen’s Barrier has now dropped below one-third. If it cannot be repaired in time, the disappearance of the barrier is just a matter of time. Now it’s time to signal Lonco to attack.”
Noland took out pen and paper, wrote a letter to Selena, asking her to inform Lonco to proceed.
After completing this step, Noland switched the angle of his Magic Vision to the Thundercloud above Subsea No.13.
In Noland’s original plan, he would have summoned lightning from the Thundercloud to kill a portion of the Sea Monsters before Yorksim and the others traded with them.
“`
However, there was a change of plans.
Noland Lee thought of using the Thundercloud Technique to slaughter the sea monsters, purely as a favor to Selena, to help alleviate some of the burdens of the Deep Sea Branch.
But now, with the Deep Sea Branch bringing in two mysterious Saint Tier Wizards who wanted to upstage him, there was no need to take on any burdens for them.
Therefore, on his way to move the thunderclouds towards Subsea No.13, Noland Lee deliberately released two muffled thunderclaps, driving the sea monsters and wizards to the seabed.
At this moment, Noland Lee had only one thing to do.
That was to keep an eye on the sea surface and throw lightning at the monsters approaching it.
Noland Lee glanced at Nolin, who was inputting data into the Access Instrument, and felt moved to speak:
“Nolin, you performed very well today. As a reward, I am giving you the task of controlling the thunderclouds too. It’s an easy job, you just have to aim at the sea monsters near the sea surface and throw lightning. Remember, better to miss a monster than to accidentally harm a wizard. Understood?”
Controlling thunderclouds was something Noland Lee had trained Nolin to do just two days ago.
Noland Lee’s “Shaping Magic” was Level 55.
“Thundercloud Technique” required a 4.5-second preparation before calling down lightning.
Thanks to the presence of the Computing Array, Nolin was far more outstanding than humans at calculating the lead time.
Noland Lee was very confident in handing over the control of the thunderclouds to her.
Seeing that he was willing to entrust such an important task to her, Nolin’s joy was evident, and she nodded seriously as she said:
“Yes, Sir! I will execute your every command with precision! I will not accidentally harm a wizard, even if it means overlooking a sea monster!”
Noland Lee brought out the “Mind Infusion” Panel, dragging “Tracking Mark (No.3)” for controlling the thunderclouds into it, sharing it with Nolin.
Nolin tried to manipulate the thunderclouds and said:
“Sir, the thunderclouds are in position. I will use No.1 Mental Thread to control them and use No.2 Mental Thread to record combat data.”
“Hmm, very good, proceed as planned,” Noland Lee responded.
“Thank you very much for your trust, Sir,” Nolin replied, closing her eyes and immersing herself in controlling the thunderclouds.
Noland Lee then used his Magic Vision to supervise her work.
Oh well, now he was truly a hands-off manager.
Noland Lee chuckled silently and called up the System Information that had refreshed in his mind earlier.
[System Message:]
[You have dealt Fatal Strike Level Weakness damage to “Queen Isidora’s Barrier” using 1,500 Underwater Capacitor Mechanism Spirits.]
[… (Several similar types of information omitted)]
[Your “Thunder and Lightning Energy Fluctuation” has dealt Fatal Strike Level Weakness damage to “Duplicate Clint ‘Windhawk.'”]
[Activate Passive Deconstruction!]
[The degree of deconstruction of “Duplicate Clint ‘Windhawk'” has risen to 75%.]
[You have obtained the following Deconstruction Results:]
[…]
Wait a moment.
Noland Lee was slightly taken aback.
How come there were unexpected gains?
Could this wizard named Clint “Windhawk” be the one who cast “Rhythm of the Wind”?
The one I just targeted, did I hit his weak spot?
And triggered the passive deconstruction?
Ah, this…
That’s way too awesome~
Noland Lee was inwardly delighted and glanced at the title of the opponent.
Duplicate Clint “Windhawk”.
Just a duplicate capable of casting spells above Level 90.
That meant the original Clint “Windhawk” must be a formidable figure.
Noland Lee took a deep breath, putting aside the joy from shattering the Queen’s Barrier.
With absolute calm and rationality, he opened the Deconstruction Results of “Duplicate Clint ‘Windhawk.'”
He had a feeling that he would find content within these Deconstruction Results that would redefine what he knew.
