Chapter 214 - 149: Level 3 Mage, Ice Crystal Fall
Landon was too, of course, but as a Mage, he was in the back and wasn’t an easy target.
Lin Mo didn’t need Landon’s reminder; he had already felt the chill. He instinctively cast [Rock Shield Technique], positioning it directly in front of him instead of holding it.
The Ice Arrow slammed into the Rock Shield. Its immense power instantly spiderwebbed the shield with cracks before it shattered. With lightning-fast reflexes, Lin Mo unleashed an instant-cast [Sword Charge Strike], and several blasts of Sword Qi annihilated the weakened Ice Arrow.
Needless to say, that power could only come from their mission’s target: the Threat Level 4 Frosty Corpse!
’So it’s finally appeared?’
The group’s expressions grew solemn as they looked ahead.
However, the figure that appeared in their line of sight was not what they had expected.
Instead, it was a Rotten Corpse, fiery red and wreathed in Flame.
Behind it followed many unusual-looking skeletons... They carried weapons, and some even wore tattered armor, looking like shoddy soldiers.
Lin Mo’s gaze was completely fixed on the fiery red creature at the front.
’It’s him?!’
’Isn’t this the Flaming Corpse that ambushed the Silver Radiance Squad before?’
The red figure, wreathed in Flame, dripping blackish-red blood like molten lava...
’That’s it, no doubt about it!’
Lin Mo was instantly thrilled. He vividly remembered being chased by this creature, forced to flee in disgrace. He hadn’t been strong enough back then, but he’d never forgotten the humiliation.
’And now, this creature has run right up to me, handing me a chance for revenge!’
Lin Mo immediately launched an [Ice Cone Skill] at it to test its mettle.
The speeding Ice Cone reached the Rotten Corpse in the blink of an eye. The creature raised its hand and hurled a ball of fire that collided with the Ice Cone, the two attacks canceling each other out perfectly.
Lin Mo wasn’t surprised.
’After all, it’s a Threat Level 3 creature. It won’t be that easy to take down.’
"I’m heading over for a moment..."
The pressure on the front line was low at the moment; no Undead Creatures could threaten their back row. In fact, the newly appeared Undead Creatures seemed like the bigger threat.
"Be careful! The Frosty Corpse still hasn’t appeared!"
Landon warned.
"I know."
Lin Mo nodded, remaining vigilant. ’A Level 4 Frosty Corpse is definitely trouble,’ he thought. ’With my current strength, I’m not afraid, but it won’t be an easy fight either.’
’But I have to go. The fact that it’s hiding is all the more reason to force it out.’
With his current strength, Lin Mo was confident he wouldn’t be at a major disadvantage even if the Frosty Corpse attacked as well.
’And if something truly unexpected happens... Shefilya should already be Gathering Strength and ready to act.’
With a sudden movement, Lin Mo shot forward, making a beeline for the Flaming Corpse.
At the same time, Feney remembered to cast [Light Aid] on him again, boosting his Attributes.
Lin Mo fixed his eyes on his target. The Flaming Corpse was watching him as well, ready for a fight. However...
Mid-charge, Lin Mo’s figure suddenly vanished. He activated [Invisibility] and instantly changed direction.
The Flaming Corpse froze, momentarily stunned.
The next moment, a Blood-colored Sword Qi struck from its flank, easily slicing through half of its body!
The severed arm dropped to the ground with a SIZZLE. Blackish-red blood, like magma, poured from the wound, scorching the grass below.
’It’s still alive?’
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow in surprise as he watched the Flaming Corpse still struggling.
’But it’s close enough...’
[Blood Blade]!
Boosted by [Lightness], Lin Mo’s speed far surpassed his opponent’s. He easily dodged the creature’s desperate counterattack as a spray of scorching magma landed on empty ground. Lin Mo was already behind it.
Then, he unleashed another Blood-colored Sword Qi, slicing it clean in two!
