Chapter 998: 310. The advantage is significant_3

No wonder so many non-shadow type Wizards have met with misfortune in the Dark Zone.

The injury from that attack, most regular non-shadow type Wizards probably couldn’t withstand it.

Noland Lee dismissed the idea of testing the damage with his physical body.

He didn’t hesitate to issue an immediate attack command to Nolin.

A hundred Sound Wave Puppets, lacking in attack capability, whirled high-speed around the battlefield, using sound wave formations to disrupt the Dark Abyss Eels.

Taking advantage of the Dark Abyss Eels being disoriented by the noise, fifty Capacitor Package Device Spirits suddenly accelerated, jetting a torrential airstream with a hiss, pouncing towards their designated targets.

...

Upon approaching their targets, the Capacitor Package Device Spirits activated their lightning jet function, ejecting all of their internal thunder and lightning energy forward.

“Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!”

The underground space resounded with thunderclaps higher-pitched than those of a Level 1 “Lightning Spear Technique,” mixed with the pained shrieks of Dark Abyss Eels.

“Chirr~~~”

Other than the adult Dark Abyss Eels, which survived the first round of the thunder bombardment, the rest of the eels were all reduced to waste by the twisting flashes of lightning.

The surviving Dark Abyss Eels, some with minor injuries, immediately transformed into shadows and moved away into the distance.

Others, seriously injured, fell from the stalagmites, tumbling towards the distant ground below.

Noland Lee’s gaze swept around, locking onto the remaining Dark Abyss Eels with his mind, and lifted his right hand to point twenty times.

Twenty bright spherical thunderstorms appeared where he pointed, unleashing incredibly brilliant bolts of lightning.

“Boom boom boom…”

The spherical thunderstorms completely shredded the Dark Abyss Eels, leaving echoing waves throughout the vast underground space.

Noland Lee pulled up the battle data and took a quick look.

“Not bad, not bad. The effectiveness of the thunder and lightning magic has also dropped, by around 30%. However, wild thunder and lightning magic can compensate for the loss in spell effectiveness by increasing the intensity of thunder and lightning energy. The one thing I’m not short on right now is thunder and lightning energy, so the Dark Zone actually doesn’t have much of an impact on my “Thundercloud Technique,” “Fixed Point Thunderstorm Technique.”

Noland Lee called to Nolin in his mind:

“Adjust the thunder and lightning energy reserves for each Capacitor Package Device Spirit, raising it from the original 1 million points each to 1.5 million points each.”

“Yes, Sir,” Nolin replied, taking on the task:

“I’ll need you to provide the Elemental Energy Reactor, so I can have enough thunder and lightning energy to strengthen the Capacitor Package Device Spirits.”

“Agreed. Let’s set up camp over there.”

Noland Lee pointed towards a stalagmite and cast “Rock Imprisonment Technique.”

The Rock Cage, made of rock and soil energy, could be used to trap enemies or protect the caster nestled within it.

The Rock Cage built at the top of the stalagmite had now become Noland Lee’s point of settlement.

He summoned the Rock Spirit, ordering it to construct stone walls and a roof.

Nolin pitched in on the side, setting up an Anti-detection Magic Barrier.

After some modifications, the temporary base framed with a Rock Cage was established.

Noland Lee took off his Magic Pouch containing the Capacitor Package Device Spirits, and handed it over to Nolin along with the Type I Elemental Reactor.

Nolin was in charge of recharging the Capacitor Package Device Spirits at the temporary base, while Noland Lee himself stepped outside to collect magic materials from the Dark Abyss Eels.

That barraging bombardment just now triggered Passive Deconstruction.

Noland Lee learned of the usage value of the Dark Abyss Eels.

Their Shadow Glands, matte coating, and extremely tough cartilage were all treasures for crafting Shadow Magic Tools.

But as Noland Lee was collecting the magic materials, a sense of being watched emerged spontaneously.

“Perception Enhancement,” though weakened, still managed to send an alert to Noland Lee immediately.

“Someone is nearby…”

Noland Lee detected the gaze lurking in the darkness.

He thought for a moment, then pretended to be oblivious and continued to cut the shadow eels with his magic cutting tool.

Having the feeling of being watched yet unable to pinpoint the observer’s specific location, Noland knew what was going on.

First, the person was very far away from him, probably at least 5,000 meters. This distance was more than five times his energy perception range.

Second, the person’s observation technique was fairly sophisticated, likely a shadow faction spell. With the environment of the Dark Zone offering a boost, all shadow magic effects had increased by at least 30%.

Combining these two factors, Noland was destined to be unable to accurately locate the other party with “Perception Enhancement.”

It was now time for other mental magic to come into play.

“Nolin, we have enemies coming,” Noland communicated in his mind:

“Get a few Mechanos enchanted with ‘Mental Illusion’ to work with me and draw out the person on the other side.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Nolin controlled several Mechanos that flew out from the temporary base.

…

…

“Damn it, that guy killed all our Dark Abyss Eels, I want to skin him alive!”

“How did a Thunder Wizard come to the Dark Zone…”

“Shh, shh, shh, don’t talk. He’s not alone, a few more Thunder Wizards have appeared…”

“Be quiet, be quiet.”

Several sneaky figures were hiding among the stalagmites. noveldrama

Their bodies showed a translucent grey phantom-like appearance, and they wore tattered magic robes with over eighty percent battle damage.

On their backs were knapsacks woven from cloth strips and monster tissue and bones, containing wriggling monster eggs and unconscious younglings.

These living things could not be stored in magic pouches and had to be carried on their bodies like this.

From their clothes and conversation, they seemed to be shadow wizards who regularly collected monster materials in the Dark Zone.

That translucent grey phantom-like body was the hallmark of a Shadow Dark Soul.

While they were observing the “Thunder Wizard,” slender black magic claws extended from their eye regions, pointing in the direction where the “Thunder Wizard” was.

These black magic claws were like the scrawny arms of an infant.

They fluttered in the wind, phalanges curling, as if remotely sensing the energy fluctuations near the “Thunder Wizard.”

The Shadow Dark Souls whispered among themselves.

“What’s the backstory of those Thunder Wizards?”

“Don’t know… They’re too far away, I can’t make out the magic robes on them.”

“Those bastards ruined that nest. They deserve to die. We finally bred fifty Dark Abyss Eels.”

“We have to find a way to kill these Thunder Wizards, or else they might raid other monster nests. These damned surface wizards really don’t understand the rules of the Dark Zone.”

“Quick, use the Magic Messenger to call for help, and hurry. Those Thunder Wizards haven’t noticed us yet! We have a significant advantage!”

The whispers softened to a murmur, and the scribbling sound of writing the letter arose.

A few black magic claws stretched out from the darkness, took the letters, and vanished without a trace.
