Chapter 323 - Chapter 323 Chapter 322 Escape and Obstruction
Chapter 323 of "Exploring Technology in a Wizard World" starts unfolding: âWhoosh!âA fierce wind suddenly rose, and the air swiftly converged around Mu Konni, entwining near... Discover more!
âWhoosh!âA fierce wind suddenly rose, and the air swiftly converged around Mu Konni, entwining near her and flowing quickly, forming an almost spherical defensive body, much like water currents.
Shaping Energy Wind Magic*First Circle Low-level Spell*Storm Prison!
This was originally a spell used to bind enemies, but Mu Konni had instead used it on herself. The advantage of doing so was that it could defend from attacks in all directions, and unless the spell was unraveled, she would not be touched at all.
Just as Mu Konni had cast this spell, Richard had already charged in front of her, clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with a strange light, and silently aimed a heavy punch at the âStorm Prison.â
âBang!â
The force of this strike was beyond imagination; with just one punch, the entire âStorm Prisonâ began to violently shake.
âBang!â
Richard threw his second punch, and the entire âStorm Prisonâ wobbled uncontrollably, on the verge of dissolving.
âBang!â
With Richardâs third punch unleashed, there was a âcrash,â and the âStorm Prisonâ shattered. Richardâs fist, carrying a terrifying wind, struck directly at Mu Konniâs face.
Mu Konniâs eyes widened, she screamed and her body slid rapidly backward. With a wave of her hand, a ring on her finger suddenly lit up, emitting a pale blue luster as another new spell was quickly and reluctantly released.
âWhoosh!â
The moisture in the air gathered and formed into the shape of a large disk, like a shield set in front of Richard. The water that made up this shield undulated continuously, making the sound of âsplashingâ waves.
Shaping Energy Water Magic*First Circle Low-level*Wave Shield!
Richard punched without hesitation, feeling his fist sink into mud and being caught by a strange pulling force, almost unable to pull it back.
Richard inhaled sharply and punched with his other fist, âplop,â into the water shield.
Then both fists exerted force at the same time, âcrack,â tearing the water shield apart from the middle.
Behind the shattered Water Shield, Mu Konni was extremely shocked but strived to remain calm.
As Richard charged towards Mu Konni again, she quickly retreated, a light flickering on her finger, and she was about to release a third defensive spell.
Richard rushed forward, but at that moment, his body suddenly shook violently, the strange light in his eyes dissipated, and his clarity returnedâRichard had finally suppressed his emotions and resumed rational thinking.
Looking at Mu Konni not far away, Richard was extremely clear at this moment that he definitely couldnât continue like this.
Absolutely not!
Mu Konni was different from Suo Men; she had not been overwhelmed by the Psychic Shock and still retained a fairly intact consciousness. Now attacking her, she would continue to defend. Because of panic and the prior influence of the Spirit Shock, the spells she released were weaker, seemingly being suppressed by him.
But as time went on, Mu Konni would notice the problemâthat he didnât actually possess the overwhelming strength of a wizard. Killing Suo Men in a moment earlier had pushed his strength to the limit; continuing would inevitably lead to a decline.
In fact, as of now, his body was somewhat unable to bear too much amplification, already frequently warning him with pain. As Mu Konniâs strength continued to recover, the balance of power would shift. If his attacks could no longer effectively damage Mu Konniâs Magic Shields, he would be in trouble.
From an emotional standpoint, he indeed should relentlessly continue attacking Mu Konni until he exhausted his last ounce of strength.
But from a rational standpoint, it was wisest to quit while ahead and immediately retreat.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Richardâs actions barely paused. He took a step forward, continuing to approach Mu Konni, his punch furiously forceful, as if it could swallow the heavens and earth.
Mu Konni quickly released the third defensive spell, forming a Pure Energy Shield in front of Richard.
As Richardâs fist moved forward, nearing the shield, his eyes showed an unstoppable madness, even more intense than before.
Mu Konni, watching Richardâs demeanor, was somewhat unsure if this third Mana Shield would really hold and began preparing a fourth Defensive Spell.
But at that moment, just as Richardâs fist was about to crash into the third Magic Shield, he leaned back, stepped backward, and retreated rapidly.
By the time Mu Konni realized what was happening, Richard had already retreated dozens of meters away.
This!
Mu Konni stood frozen, hesitant.
Richard retreated a hundred meters away.
Mu Konni finally reacted, âDamn it, that kid fooled me! He barely has any strength at all!â
Richard backed to the end of the street, rushed into the darkness, and vanished from sight.
Mu Konni gritted her teeth, her body ready to give chase, but before she could take a step, she suddenly sensed something, turned her head sharply, and looked in a certain direction on the street.
âDa da daâŠâ
A series of dense footsteps sounded, and seven black-robed figures emerged, blocking Mu Konniâs path with ill intent.
âWho goes there? Get out of my way! I have business to attend to and no time to tangle with you!â Mu Konni shouted, brows deeply furrowed.
âIâm afraidâthatâs not possible,â one of the black-robed figures stepped forwardâa tall, thin man resembling a bamboo pole, who spoke slowly and deliberately, âYou killed one of our own, and it took us over a month to find you. We canât just let you go so easily. Not just for revenge, but for our dignity, and for the glory of our organization, forâŠâ
âShut up!â Mu Konni interrupted the tall, thin man angrily, her gaze still on the direction in which Richard had escaped, furious, and said to the thin man in black, âI donât care why youâre trying to stop me, but I suggest you best have the sense to scram right now, or Iâll send you all to your deaths!â
The word âdieâ had barely left her lips when Mu Konni launched an attack. The mental shock she had endured while being delayed by the black-robed men had diminished significantly, and she struck with a First Circle Mid-level Spell!
The air surged and from the darkness echoed a series of eerie, ghastly howls, an odd atmosphere enveloping the entire scene and intensifying. Then, wave after wave of dark energy shot out like swords, aimed at the black-robed men who blocked the way.
Spiritual Attack Magic*First Circle Mid-level*Wailing of the Dead!
As Mu Konniâs spell was unleashed, the black-robed men reacted with a series of shouts.
âDamn it, itâs Spiritual Attack Magic! Be careful!â
âPay attention, defend!â
âAttack her, donât let her get another chance!â
The black-robed men launched their counterattackâa giant fireball, an ice spear, and a glob of acid liquid flew swiftly towards Mu Konni.
Mu Konni scoffed coldly, waved her hand, and the third Energy Magic Shield that she had used to defend against Richard reappeared in front of her. Compared to its previous unremarkable state, the shield now flashed with dreamlike colors, resplendent and dazzling.
Shaping Energy Pure Energy Magic*First Circle Mid-level*Protective Spirit Light!
âBang bang bang!â
âBoom, boom, boom!â
The three powerful spells unleashed by the black-robed men exploded upon hitting the energy shield, causing numerous cracks to appear as if it would shatter, but it held firm.
Mu Konni looked on with a cold laugh and said to the black-robed men, âIs that all youâve got? If so, Iâm afraid youâre all going to die here! A bunch of First Rank Low Order wizards dare to stop me!â
Having said that, Mu Konni was burning with rage. In her eyes, the Richard she had just encountered was probably no better than a First Rank Low Order wizard. The idea that Richard might actually kill Suo Men, deceive her, and then successfully escape would be an immense disgrace!
An immense disgrace!
âGo die!â Mu Konni, the angrier she thought about it, shouted out and waved her hand, releasing a powerful Spiritual Attack Magic.
âRoar!â
A cry echoed, and the phantom of a giant elephant emerged in the night, charging at high speed towards the black-robed figures.
Spiritual Attack Magic*First Circle High Order*Horror Giant Elephant!
In that moment, Mu Konniâs eyes were cold as blades, her face stern and murderous!
