Chapter 239: Devouring the Starry Sky
This Wild Boar Shaman, he's hiding his strength!
The situation just now, either Lin Ke and the others would be worn down by the endless high Wild Boar-man attendants, or they'd be taken out by the Shaman's powerful skills.
So Lin Ke and the others could only execute decapitation tactics.
Who knew this Wild Boar Shaman was level twenty?!
Is this a Starlight [Shaman]?!
Can't be beaten!
"Retreat!" Lin Ke's face was serious.
Sophie, on the other hand, was flipping through her music score with a soft "mm, hum" chant, stepping back lightly on the pressure pads.
On her and Lin Ke, several layers of fiery red musical note shields appeared, visibly shielding them with musical notes, more on Lin Ke and less on her.
Lin Ke and Sophie retreated swiftly, yet the attacks below followed closely.
"Desperate Envelopment!"
The Wild Boar Shaman halted the thick lightning attack, raising the skull-made staff high, pointing at Lin Ke.
He spoke in the Naseng common language!
Then, gray smoke continuously billowed from the skull's eyes on the staff, transforming into a smoke column and shooting upwards in a blink.
A change!
This time, a bit careless!
One could only say, professionals beyond level ten, no, as long as they are professionals, should not be underestimated!
There are many strange professionals in Naseng, who knows when you might carelessly fall for a trick.
Lin Ke frowned but was not flustered.
He concentrated, gathering the Scholar's power within him.
Skill - Pressure!
Endless atmospheric pressure formed a human-sized shield before him, equaling about a thousand standard atmospheric pressures.
One standard atmospheric pressure is approximately equivalent to a pressure of 100,000 Pa, bearing a force of ten thousand kilograms.
This is what professionals above level ten are like!
In the past life, such a powerful pressure would instantly crush a person into pulp.
And now, with the help of the Hawk Star Array, and with Sophie who has been assimilated into the Territory of Destiny, a single skill was strengthened to a terrifying level.
"Haha, Count Lin Ke, who can't be stopped, die!"
The Wild Boar Shaman laughed maniacally.
In the front, those Wild Boarmen, standing several dozen meters tall like giants, were already clashing with the Knight Order.
Even though they were large, they were chopped into pieces by the Knight Order like slicing vegetables.
However, at this moment, everyone's attention was fixed on the sky.
The gray smoke column was enveloped with a desperate and terrifying aura, containing endless wails and pain.
Touch it, and you'll die!
"Unless you let your teacher block it, you'll die! You'll die! Hahaha!"
The Wild Boar Shaman laughed wildly, scarlet tears streaming from his eyes, his aura declining to level eighteen, seemingly greatly damaged by the smoke column.
Lin Ke's gaze was serious, directly flipping his hand to take out the Staff of Annihilation.
That smoke column, is it unstoppable?
At this moment, the gray smoke column rushed forward but was actually blocked when it collided with Lin Ke's pressure shield.
Blocked it!
"It's unstoppable! Haha... Ah? Err..."
The Wild Boar Shaman's laughter abruptly ceased, incredulously saying, "How is this possible?! What wind law is this?!"
Wind?
This is pressure.
Lin Ke chuckled inwardly, not answering, something clearly unusual was happening, plan to catch this Shaman and question thoroughly later.
Encapsulating the smoke column with pressure, he then hurled it below towards the Shaman.
Simultaneously, endless heat was once again absorbed by Lin Ke, a massive heat void appearing in the night sky.
"Indeed, it's you! The Sun Devourer! The glory of my Lord cannot be desecrated by you!"
The Wild Boar-man's eyes widened, the initially weakened aura suddenly surging upward increasingly.
Trickery!
The Wild Boar just wanted to deceive Lin Ke again!
The Wild Boar Shaman's aura waned after he used that gray fog, who knew it was fake!
Initially at level eighteen, pretended to be heavily injured afterward.
This Wild Boar Shaman seems to be highly experienced, even Ove, a legend, might fall for it if not careful.
This highlights the difference between study-based professionals and combat-based professionals.
In terms of advancement, combat-based professionals might spend ten times the effort and still fail to advance.
But in battle, study-based professionals can't match combat-based ones!
Given that this mysterious Wild Boar Shaman knows Lin Ke's name and about Ove's existence, it proves...
He's not the kind of rootless Wild Boar-man Lin Ke imagined!
Either the Wild Boar Tribe belongs to the Holy Life Alliance, under that Holy Life Alliance Monarch.
Or this Wild Boar Tribe is reared by someone in the Gula Royal Family, specifically targeting him.
Or perhaps these Wild Boar Tribes, though living outside of Gula, frequently read newspapers, thus know of him.
But none of these make sense.
The bloody path of Gula, has the coward King of the Holy Life Alliance grown bold, daring to touch the oldest human memory?
The King of the Holy Life Alliance, the Chief of the Eternal Freeze Court, even together can't withstand one hand of the Sleepless.
And if this tribe belongs to the Moon Goddess or the Eldest Prince, then there's a slight possibility, but their confinement likely limits their ability.
The third possibility is even smaller, such a cunning Wild Boar Shaman after learning of Ove's and his might in newspapers, would deliberately clash with him?
Moreover, Lin Ke has heard from Garoce that the aliens on the bloody path generally come from disorganized tribes in the Elemental Forest.
These tribes enter the bloody path during the twenty-year noble council to slaughter or kidnap nobles for wealth or ransom.
But whatever the case, capture first!
Lin Ke gave up on the idea of using the battleground for practice, shouted to the sky, "Teacher, capture him alive!"
I can't deal with you, but my teacher can!
Lin Ke returned the Staff of Annihilation to the Space Ring, continuing to absorb surrounding heat: "Sun devour? I could devour the stars too!"
The Wild Boar-man was too cunning, the so-called "glory of my Lord" likely a smokescreen, mixed truth and lies, Lin Ke wouldn't dwell on it.
Once reaching physical limits, the Scholar's power suddenly operated.
Skill - Overheat!
Massive heat surged into the Shaman's surrounding in an instant, turning the ground beneath him into molten magma.
Just then, Ove struck down as a bolt of lightning, descending like the god of thunder.
Ove, with hair and beard flaring, the top of the Thunder Staff became a thunderball, then slammed it fiercely onto the Shaman before him.
The staff shot high-temperature plasma, and the electric arcs around the Shaman's body were directly absorbed into the gemstone atop the Thunder Staff.
This is one of Ove's favorite combo skills, including mechanical power amplification and electrical thunder force.
The legendary might dimmed everything else on the battlefield, even creating void cracks around Ove, and draining near all lightning elements within miles by the Shaman and Ove.
"King of Electromagnetism Ove... I've caught you!"
Unexpected to all, the Wild Boar Shaman showed a sinister smile, pulling out a human skull from his pocket, crushing it, and then his aura explosively elevated.
Legendary!
