Chapter 956: 297. “Teammate” pranking_3
After a short meditation, the second match began.
This time, Lonco’s opponent was a Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage, an external reinforcement invited by the Pangula Family.
Before entering the arena, this Metal Series Wizard had increased his resistance to sea water corrosion and Water Clan energy to 99%.
He also raised his resistance to the damage from Fire energy, Kinetic Energy, and Wind energy to 99%, based on the past battle records of the Deep Sea Branch.
The only oversight was the damage from Thunder and Lightning Energy.
In the sea water, the uncontrollable nature of Thunder and Lightning Energy was well-known.
...
Lonco himself was not a Saint Level Thunder Wizard and it was impossible for him to manipulate the Thunder and Lightning Energy in the water to his disadvantage.
This major judgment error caused the Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage to fall into a disadvantageous position as soon as the battle commenced.
Lonco activated a Magic Scroll he had bought from Noland Lee.
He tore the Scroll open, facing it towards the Heavens, casting a brilliant azure Light Column.
A Dark Cloud appeared above Lonco’s The Head, with faint flashes of lightning rippling within.
The moment the Thundercloud, containing 100 million points of Thunder and Lightning Energy, appeared, the Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage hurriedly changed the resistance of his Magic Metal Armor.
It took about five seconds to change the resistance, which wasn’t instantaneous.
The delayed response of the “Thundercloud Technique” saved the life of the Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage.
Metal spikes densely appeared on the surface of his Magic metal, rippling like waves.
A faint azure Radiance flashed on the metal surface, indicating the resistance adjustment was complete.
After that, almost three more seconds passed before the Thundercloud fired the first bolt of lightning, striking at the Nine Circles Metal Battle Mage whizzing through the air.
“Crack!”
The aim of the lightning was slightly off.
It missed the Metal Series Wizard by inches, with the speed of a gale, and struck the Floating Isle below, scattering a large sheet of electric light.
The Metal Series Wizard broke out in a cold sweat.
With 99% resistance to lightning, the damage caused by the lightning was secondary; the induced “shudder” was the most lethal aspect.
If he had been struck by the lightning just now, he would have certainly convulsed, stayed in place, and his flight speed would have drastically dropped.
The Water tornado following him would immediately catch up, ensnare him, and drag him to the Seabed.
At that point, he was eighty to ninety percent certain to lose the match due to falling into the water.
The current situation was still quite alright, though.
That Lonco seemed to be having quite a bit of trouble when controlling the Thundercloud to fire lightning.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
Several bolts of lightning chased after the Metal Series Wizard but missed him by a few meters, never quite hitting the target.
This scene was driving Lonco mad!
He was multitasking, controlling both the Thundercloud and the Water tornado.
As the Water tornado was large and moved slowly,
Lonco had previously tried a variety of Deep Sea Spells but failed to stop the swiftly flying opponent.
He had to first use lightning to immobilize the enemy before he had any chance of pulling his opponent into the Seabed. noveldrama
What annoyed him terribly was the delay of the Thundercloud’s lightning release—it was far too long!
It took a full 8 seconds for Lonco to see lightning ejected from the Thundercloud.
How could this be different from the Thundercloud he had captured last time?
The previous Thundercloud only needed about 5 seconds of preparation time to release lightning!
How could this Thundercloud need 8 seconds now?!
Could it be that Jarvis had tampered with the Magic Scroll?!
Lonco felt bitter in an instant.
Noland sat at home, watching Denise Green and Nicolette, who were in the middle of a class, and chuckled to himself.
Considering the time, Lonco and the others must be using the Magic Scroll by now.
He wondered if they had discovered the surprise.
You like to trap me, Noland Lee, don’t you?
You want a Thundercloud with 100 million points of Thunder and Lightning Energy, do you?
Very well, I’ll give you the Thundercloud, give you 100 million points of Thunder and Lightning Energy.
But!
I adjusted the “Thundercloud Technique” enchanted into the Magic Scroll from Level 55 down to Level 25!
A Level 55 “Thundercloud Technique” discharges a bolt of lightning every 4.5 seconds.
A Level 25 “Thundercloud Technique” takes 8 seconds to release a bolt of lightning!
In the rapidly changing battlefield, being off by even one second could lead to drastically different outcomes, let alone 3.5 seconds.
Unless Lonco could find Magical Items to shorten the response time of the Thundercloud, he was bound to be at a disadvantage against a difficult enemy.
Moreover, the Thundercloud itself imposed mental Pressure on Lonco.
The previous Thundercloud that had been captured was Sealed by Benjamin Jelani, becoming a magical thing that could exist for a long time without the need for a Wizard’s control and restraint.
As long as the Seal was not broken, the Thundercloud would not disappear, and there was no need for a Wizard to expend energy to maintain its existence.
This Magic Accomplishment belonged to a Transcendent Wizard,
It had to be said, Benjamin Jelani really did have some skill.
But did Lonco have that ability?
When he tore open the Magic Scroll and summoned the Thundercloud, he himself had to expend energy to constrain the Thunder and Lightning Energy within the Thundercloud.
Every minute, every second, he felt as if his Spirit was being squeezed and pressed like the Sea Surface.
The burden from the mental strain, like a heavy weight pressing down on his heart, would only be relieved by completely dissipating the Thundercloud.
It was only at this moment, when controlling the Thundercloud by his own hand, that Lonco realized how enormous the mental burden of the Thundercloud was.
As time went on, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for him.
The Water tornado he controlled began to stagger, moving erratically like a drunken man.
It was clear to anyone with eyes that Lonco, who was not adept at Lightning Magic, had fallen into a state of mild mental stupor due to forcibly controlling the Thundercloud.
