Chapter 1337 Formation

เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2569 15:30

"Hahaha," the dark elf grand magus burst into laughter when he heard the Eastern Sage's words. "It always amuses me to see humans and their confidence." As he said such words, power rose within him, and the thin-looking dark elf's figure suddenly turned bulky with bulging muscles. His previous skinny appearance ceased to exist completely as he took out a pitch-black mace that was infused with darkness energy and brandished the ominous-looking weapon in his hand. With just one swing of the mace, the darkness energy that engulfed the weapon exploded sending the entire forest into a violent tremor. The air cried as it moved at the speed of lightning, mercilessly smashing the ground beyond recognition as it missed its target. "What are you attacking?" Fuxi's calm voice echoed through the air as his figure appeared some distance away from the dark elf grand magus. "Take a good look, I'm right here." Hearing that, the elven grand magus snorted in response. "Hah! An illusion?! Useless!! No human formation can stop me!" Swisshhh!! Saying those words, the old dark elf swung his mace fiercely at the Eastern Sage again. But instead of hitting his target, his attack once again missed and instead smashed into a large tree five meters thick, sending it crashing onto the ground. During the commotion, as the tree crashed heavily onto the ground, Fuxi disappeared and reappeared like the wind. He charged forth and managed to land his attack, inflicting a wound on the dark elf's back. It was only a minor scratch, barely noticeable. However, the fact that a human – a being he considered beneath him – managed to injure him hurt the dark elf's pride; he was currently feeling extremely humiliated. "Aarrgghhh!! I'll catch you and smash you to pieces!!" Enraged, the dark elf churned out his spirit energy and released a huge black cloud that quickly formed a dozen terrifying black spears. They quickly shot through the air, heading straight for his opponent; enough to also create a scratch on Fuxi's concealed figure. "There you are!!" The dark elf quickly dashed towards where he saw the Eastern Sage was, and sure enough, the latter quickly leapt backwards. It was clear that Fuxi intended to maintain the distance that existed between them. "Don't you dare run, lowly human!!" The dark elf magus was about to chase after Fuxi when he was suddenly stopped by multiple bombardment of elements. A burst of fire engulfed his body, followed by the trees in front of him collapsing and the ground holding his feet. All were unable to stop him, but enough to let Fuxi escape. "Argghhhh!!!" screamed the dark elf in irritation. "Is this all you can do? Petty tricks?!!" Exasperated by the situation he got himself in, the dark elf grand magus proceeded to conjure a powerful flame tornado, which shook the earth and rapidly burned everything in its path, including the tallest and thickest tree. Fire, darkness, and metal; the three elements were part of the innate gift possessed by a dark elf. Being a figure who had reached the illustrious grand magus realm, the elderly dark elf naturally possessed high compression of all three. Intense black smoke could be seen rising up into the sky, accompanied by tails of blazing flames and followed by the maniacal laughter of the dark elf grand magus as everything was engulfed in flames. "You have nowhere to hide now!!" However, once the thick smoke that was obstructing the view cleared, the dark elf was surprised to see that the surrounding trees were still intact. They looked completely normal, as if nothing had happened. "W-What? How..? What kind of formation is this!?" As the words echoed through the air, Fuxi's figure appeared from the shadows saying, "It's just a simple elemental formation, nothing difficult for someone like you" After those words finished being spoken, the surrounding area suddenly became freezing cold, reaching a drastic temperature that was capable of making even the dark elf magus feel uncomfortable. **** 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 As the two grand magus figures fought each other, Emery was hidden at a safe distance observing what was happening. Since he had some knowledge of the Eastern Sage's Hexagram formation, he knew where he needed to be in order not to be swept away by the formation. The two of them were both on the same grand magus stage of one cosmos, but there were differences between humans and dark elves. Hence in order to match the strength of the dark elf grand magus, Fuxi had to rely on his new artifact [Formation Array Flags]. It was the Tier 6 sets flag artifacts which sold for ten million spirit stones in the Devildom Auction House. Just now the Eastern Sage had utilized the water flag to create a reflection world – which was able to bend the reality of their surroundings; and now, Fuxi utilized the ice flag to start different kinds of fights. When the fights were just about to advance to a new level, Emery turned his head in a certain direction as he sensed the arrival of the five dark elf magus pursuing him. The group of one Half Moon and four Crescent Moon magus simultaneously came to a stop just outside the forest he was in. A frown appeared on the face of the only Half Moon magus. "Something strange is going on inside. The elder's spirit energy fluctuates differently." Seeing the cautious attitude from what appeared to be the leader of the group, Emery decided to do something quickly. He shot out of the forest and showed a surprised expression when he saw the figures of the five magus. Before any of the five could respond, he immediately turned around and his figure dashed into the forest again in fright. "That's the acolyte!!" exclaimed one of them. "Captain, what should we do?!" Evidently, either Emery had given a believable performance or that the elves simply underestimated him too much. Either way, it didn't matter anymore now that they were doing what he wanted them to do, which was chasing him into the forest. "Quickly, don't let him out of our sight!!" The five quickly chased after Emery, into the thick and dark forest. Laughter broke out in their ranks when they saw Emery stumble in the middle of his run, but as soon as one of them attacked the fallen figure, silence fell. They were all stunned when they saw the acolyte's figure turn into smoke. Thanks to the fact they were currently in the Eastern Sage's Hexagram formation, Emery now had a much easier time fooling the dark elf magus with his [Void Mist] as their spirit reading was severely disrupted by the formation. "Where is he?!" "There!!" "Quick, chase him!" Chaos descended upon the group as they ran to and fro chasing after Emery's visible figure. Not only were they stopped by multiple elemental attacks inside the forest, they also just found out that their target was capable of casting spatial spells, thus having no need to run in the first place. They finally realized that they had been fooled. Unfortunately, their realization came too late, as now they had all separated from one another, completely lost in formation. Meanwhile, unlike them, even though his spirit reading was also impaired, Emery was not helpless, as he had another way of sensing the magus. It was one of the innate skills of his bloodline, [Wild Hunt]. Utilizing his sharp senses, by perceiving their scent, Emery was able to keep track of the magus. Coupled with his knowledge of the Hexagram formation, he was able to easily set an advantageous time and location for him to attack them. Without the five of them knowing it, their prey had become the hunter. ---------------------------------- Join the discussion on discord through my website www.avans.xyz
