Chapter 1304: Breaking the System
Lin Nuo discovered a blind spot. Although this group of beasts was directing their attacks solely at the Turtle Beast, even if Su Kexin slashed down with the Phoenix Sword, the damage would still be minimal.
However, if they turned their blades on one another, the damage could be astonishing. Listening to the Turtle Beast’s howls made it clear that their strategy was indeed effective.
These four weren’t united at all; they were bombarding their own beast without even trying to dodge!
“Looks like you’re fine. Alright, now I know what to do. You keep an eye on that Aike guy; I have a plan for these four Demon Beasts.”
Lin Nuo released his hand and cast a Wind Technique blessing on Su Kexin. This was his hidden ace in the hole—normally, he’d never share his Wind Technique with anyone since distributing his speed meant losing a part of it himself.
He had always been a lone wolf, so sharing his secret technique of Gale with someone else was unthinkable.
But this time, he was giving it to the protagonist.
The main villain giving a boost to the protagonist—it felt like a dream.
What could he say? They were practically sharing the same bed, so being in the same boat was a fitting term.
“Now, with this speed, you should be able to keep him occupied. If you can take him down, that’s even better. If not, just hold him off while I deal with these four.”
Lin Nuo’s face was serious; he was fully committed and it showed his trust in Su Kexin. If she couldn’t contain Aike, then Aike would launch a swift attack on him, and if he had given up his speed, he couldn’t afford to face Aike head-on.
Who would have thought he’d be teaming up with the protagonist for life or death, practically putting his life in her hands?
“Mm, I won’t let my Senior Brother down!”
“Let’s go.”
Lin Nuo quickly distanced himself from Su Kexin. They split into two battlefields: Lin Nuo faced the four beasts alone while Su Kexin held Aike at bay.
Aike noticed Lin Nuo’s intentions; his prime target was to deal with Su Kexin first, and then focus his fire on Lin Nuo, considering Su Kexin’s combat prowess was unknown.
So he didn’t give Lin Nuo a breather. Shadows swirled around him as he lunged towards Lin Nuo.
As long as Lin Nuo was dead, it was only a matter of time before Su Kexin would fall too.
“Stay away from my Senior Brother!”
Su Kexin shouted furiously, a gust of wind swirling at her feet in tandem with her flames, propelling her towards Aike like a fire-wheeled chariot.
Aike: “!!?”
Aike was taken aback. How did this girl’s speed suddenly explode? She was at a whole new level compared to before.
Damn woman!
The dark corrosive mist surrounding Aike posed no threat to Su Kexin. Moreover, her righteous energy scattered the phantoms around him, making them disintegrate into a mess.
Su Kexin held her ground. While she couldn’t kill him, he still couldn’t get close to Lin Nuo.
As for Lin Nuo, he had a plan. Of course, he aimed to dash over to the Turtle Beast and wait for the other beasts to bomb it. He would then dodge at the last moment, causing them to accidentally harm their ally. This trick could work once or twice, but they weren’t fools; they’d catch on quickly.
But he had new tactics now.
This time, Lin Nuo intentionally stayed away from the Turtle Beast to avoid raising suspicion among the other Magical Beasts, who were brazenly attacking him, both in close and long-range, trying to wear him down gradually.
Lin Nuo continued to pull at them, finally waiting for a golden opportunity.
In a split second, the three beasts unleashed a shockwave from different directions, seemingly blocking Lin Nuo’s escape.
However, in that instant, Lin Nuo conjured a black vortex that enveloped him, sucking in all three shockwaves.
Now!
Lin Nuo quickly concentrated the large vortex into a smaller one, then aimed it at the Turtle Beast.
Let’s see how your friendship holds up against this.
In the next moment, the spirit techniques of the three beasts shot out from the vortex, striking directly at the Turtle Beast.
Slow-moving, the Turtle Beast, destined to absorb damage, was caught off guard by Lin Nuo’s exploit.
Indeed, Lin Nuo had cleverly used the other beasts’ techniques against the Turtle Beast.
The Turtle Beast activated its protective shield, but the ferocity of the other three beasts’ attacks overwhelmed it. The shield couldn’t withstand the assault and soon cracked.
Excellent.
Lin Nuo realized the plan was working beautifully—using their own attacks to take out their ally, the Turtle Beast was about to fall, leaving the others to face a grim fate.
The three remaining Magical Beasts sensed the danger. They rushed to surround the Turtle Beast, determined not to let their big meat shield fall, or they would be next.
But they weren’t as fast as Lin Nuo. Seizing the moment, he approached the Turtle Beast and quickly pressed a magical talisman onto it.
Beastly Ultimate Attack: Punishment of the Sinful Beast.
Boom!
Five bolts of heavenly thunder descended from the sky, striking the Turtle Beast. Having just suffered significant damage, its shield hadn’t had a chance to regenerate, making it vulnerable to Lin Nuo’s onslaught.
With a resounding cry of agony, the Turtle Beast’s shell visibly cracked, and seeing the three beasts arriving, Lin Nuo promptly shifted his target to them.
Accelerate!
He felt a wind swirling beneath his feet as he surged forward, seemingly fearless, and got close to the three beasts, quickly sticking magical talismans on them.
Triple Strike!
Punishment of the Sinful Beast!
Lin Nuo executed three consecutive strikes of Punishment of the Sinful Beast, and a dozen bolts of heavenly thunder crashed down, impacting the three Magical Beasts, with most of the damage redirected to the Turtle Beast.
Another round of painful howls erupted, the relentless hits overwhelming the Turtle Beast, leading to its downfall!
Alright, this trio’s system is about to crumble; you’re all finished.
Aike was shocked. The sturdy Turtle Beast had fallen, making it impossible for the other beasts to withstand Lin Nuo’s onslaught.
Damn it, this guy found the flaw!
Aike needed to shake off Su Kexin quickly, but she was tenacious, intent on buying time for Lin Nuo. As Aike constantly tried to divert his attention towards Lin Nuo, he was almost slashed by Su Kexin’s sword.
“Damn it, get lost!”
Aike roared, suddenly unleashing a powerful wave of energy towards Su Kexin.
Boom!
Su Kexin was pushed back a little, but she quickly charged forward again, contesting with Aike, who still found it difficult to escape.
“Other beasts, go assist!”
Aike ordered the nearby beasts to support the four major beasts. If they lost the Turtle Beast, the whole system would be completely ruined.
However, compared to the four main beasts, the others were mere fodder. They hadn’t posed much attack and were already being misfired; the three major beasts were simply too powerful. There was no way they could get involved.
Aike thought to let these beasts take on the damage for the four main ones, but the sheer number of soul chains connected was far too burdensome for him; it was completely unrealistic.
The Turtle Beast was down, but it could self-recover. However, Lin Nuo wasn’t about to let it play dead until it revived; he rained down blows until it was nearly finished.
As for the other three major beasts, they were enraged, but Lin Nuo danced around the Turtle Beast, managing to evade their attacks while they inadvertently struck the Turtle Beast, adding insult to injury.
