Chapter 997: 310. The advantage is significant_2
Noland Lee pondered briefly and took out hundreds of Mechanos from his Magic Pouch, which he handed to Nolin to activate.
“Nolin, did you feel any ‘delay’ when you controlled the Mechanos in the Dark Zone?” Noland Lee asked. noveldrama
Nolin took over control and maneuvered the Mechanos to form a protective net around Noland Lee while saying,
“No, Sir. Controlling the Mechanos in the Dark Zone is just like on the surface.”
Noland Lee raised his eyebrows.
“Perception Enhancement” has been weakened, but “Mind Tracking” and “Mind Control” have not, what is the principle behind this…
...
Noland Lee rubbed his chin, unable to figure it out for the moment.
He steadied his mind, turned off “Life and Death Tracking,” and instead took out a bottle of Magic potion to drink.
Moving in the Dark Zone required using a vision tailored for the Dark Zone.
The Magic potion Noland Lee drank was called “Dark Vision.”
A monochrome Magic Vision made up of black, white, and gray unfolded before his eyes, peeling back a corner of the Dark Zone.
This was a huge underground hollow full of stalagmites with a vertical drop of over a kilometer.
Some sort of Shadow Demon, resembling eels, meandered between the stalagmites like sinister snakes in the shadows underwater.
They were large, over 10 meters long and serpent-like, their bodies pitch black and, when still, it was hard to discern their heads from their tails.
Noland Lee released a Deconstruction spell for a look.
It turned out to be the legendary Darkland Eel.
Ten Non-shadow type Wizards setting foot in the Dark Zone for the first time would have three of them fall to the mouths of such Shadow Demons.
The Underground Hollow spot was likely a small nest for the Dark Abyss Eel, inhabited by thirty adult eels and twenty juveniles, less than 10 meters long.
After some thought, Noland Lee decided to test the power of his thunder and lightning magic in the Dark Zone.
Now about 50 kilometers away in a straight line from the City of Exiles, there was no need to worry about alarming the Shadow Wizards there.
“Nolin, prepare to execute the bombing operation with the Capacitor Pack Device Spirits. The bombing target is those fifty Dark Abyss Eels.”
Noland Lee operated a few controls in his Spell List, sharing his Magic Vision with Nolin through “Mind Infusion.”
This way, Nolin could see the scenery of the Dark Zone clearly.
“No problem, Sir. I have locked onto the target,” said Nolin.
Noland Lee took out 50 Capacitor Pack Device Spirits from his Magic Pouch and handed them to Nolin for her to control.
For the Mechanos to move in the Dark Zone, they needed to rely on “Floating Formation” and “Airflow Formation.”
These two Arrays produced a very small ripple of Wind energy, but the Dark Abyss Eels still detected them.
Let’s not forget, this is the Dark Zone.
Any energy fluctuations not of shadow energy were as conspicuous as candlelight in the Dark Night.
Especially when 150 Mechanos gathered together, the position of Noland Lee became as noisy as a bonfire in the eyes of the Dark Abyss Eels.
While Nolin was routinely inspecting the Capacitor Pack Device Spirits before battle, fifty Dark Abyss Eels of varying sizes silently approached.
They moved with a flexible, writhing motion through the stalagmites, never once making a sound from start to finish.
The leading Dark Abyss Eel was the quickest, arriving first at a spot 20 meters in front of Noland Lee to the left.
It coiled its body around a one-meter-thick stalagmite, opening its pitch-black maw towards Noland Lee.
“Shakakaka…”
A very faint pulsation of air resounded within the Underground Space, and several streaks of black light waves surged forth from the mouth of the Dark Abyss Eel, lunging at Noland Lee who was standing still.
Noland Lee intentionally tested the combat data.
Confident in his “Magic Shield” and robust Physical body, he declined Nolin’s offer to use the Mechanos to intercept the attacks.
The semi-circular black light waves covered the 20-meter distance in an instant, passing through Noland Lee’s Skeleton Body from front to back.
A chill breath wandered within him, Noland Lee’s entire body stiffened as if he had lost Control over his body.
[Warning!]
[You have been attacked by an “adult Dark Abyss Eel.”]
[The opponent is applying “Shadow Detection” on you, attempting to grasp your shadow energy resistance and other data.]
So it was just a detection spell, not an attack spell, no wonder it wasn’t very lethal.
Noland Lee was unfazed.
With a thought, he gave Nolin the command to disperse the Mechanos, then lifted his hand and pointed, releasing a Level 1 “Lightning Spear Technique.”
The spear, formed of thunder and lightning energy, materialized beside Noland Lee, aimed directly at the Dark Abyss Eel.
“Pila…”
A thunder sound so faint it was barely audible.
The Lightning Spear struck the Dark Abyss Eel, blasting only a pathetic little burst of electric sparks, as if it were merely tickling it…
That was intentionally done by Noland Lee; he was trying to infuriate these creatures.
Sure enough, the innate brutality embedded deep into the bones of the creatures was ignited.
These sleek, dark monsters let out a harsh screech in unison, opening their wide mouths towards Noland Lee.
Countless black orbs materialized around him, each looking like a bomb packed with explosive power!
“Bang bang bang bang!”
The black orbs burst abruptly, shooting flames of shadow, filling the space around Noland Lee.
[Warning!]
[You have been attacked by a “Shadow Bomb”!]
[You have received moderate shadow damage!]
[The “Silent Shield”‘s shadow energy resistance is 99%.]
[The “Silent Shield’s” “Automatic Cycling” Feature has been triggered 77 times!]
[The damage from the “Shadow Bomb” has been blocked by the “Silent Shield”!]
“Seventy-seven cycles of the ‘Silent Shield’ in one second?!”
Noland Lee was slightly shocked.
He had almost had his Shield defense penetrated by fifty Dark Abyss Eels!
