Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Li Wei vs. Locks
Erica and the Shadow Attendant were locked in a fierce battle.
Neither could gain the upper hand in a short time.
Erica’s "Elemental Return" Dragon Language Curse was useless against the Shadow Attendant.
Thus, the two could only decide the victor through the most brutal form of close-quarters combat.
Erica possessed Power, a physique, and speed comparable to a Tier Six Magic Beast.
The White Nitro controlled by the Shadow Attendant was itself equivalent to a Tier Six Peak Magic Beast.
Even without unleashing its full strength, it could still erupt with Power and speed exceeding Tier Six.
One could say the two were evenly matched.
Most importantly, both possessed extremely powerful regenerative abilities.
Unless one could land a devastating blow, it would be difficult to end the fight quickly.
Li Wei wasn’t counting on the Shadow Attendant to take down Erica.
He just needed the Shadow Attendant to hold Erica off until he dealt with Locks.
Then, they could deal with Erica together.
Locks stood before Li Wei, chuckled, and said, "What are you waiting for?"
The moment the words left his mouth, Li Wei felt himself being attacked.
His Invisible Armor was being corroded by some kind of power and was rapidly being destroyed.
Li Wei stared at Locks. "So this is your attack?"
Flaming Shield!
The Invisible Armor materialized, forming a round, red Flaming Shield.
The flames blazed fiercely.
CRACKLE! SIZZLE!
A constant noise filled the air as countless minuscule, imperceptible insects were burned to ash by the flames.
This was Locks’s attack.
The tiny insects he had released had the ability to devour energy and destroy Magic Shields.
Locks looked at Li Wei with some surprise, seemingly astonished that his Shield could also attack.
He shook his head, walked toward Li Wei, and flexed his right hand slightly.
The next second, his right hand swelled violently, transforming into a monstrous beast’s claw that swiped fiercely at Li Wei’s head.
BAM!
Terrifying Power pressed down on Li Wei’s Shield.
CRACK! CRACK!
Cracks appeared on the Magic Shield, which was formed from hundreds of interlocking Hexagonal Crystals.
The ground beneath Li Wei’s feet suddenly sank.
The Magic Shield pressed a circular crater into the ground.
The Magic Shield was withstanding immense Power.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Locks’s beast claw gripped Li Wei’s Magic Shield.
Ignoring the burning flames, his five fingers squeezed tighter and tighter.
He forcibly dug them into the Magic Shield.
Li Wei looked up and saw the glow of an Armor-Piercing Rune circulating on the sharp nails at the tip of the beast claw.
The nails could directly pierce the Magic Shield.
The moment they pierced the Magic Shield, the nails detached from the claw and shot out, stabbing toward Li Wei’s body.
THWIP! THWIP! THWIP!
The nails pierced through Li Wei’s body, then through the ground, leaving five bottomless, dark holes.
Li Wei transformed into his Flame Lord form.
Flame Domain!
WHOOSH!
The Flame Domain spread out, enveloping the entire inner hall.
Otz and Allen hastily retreated from the combat zone, standing at the doorway to peer inside.
Seeing the scene before them, Otz felt a pang of regret. ’Why did I let them meet in the Royal Palace? If I had known they would fight, I definitely would have chosen another place for their meeting.’
He had never imagined that the Tier Four Li Wei would have a conflict with the Tier Six Locks.
Even if they had a conflict, given the disparity in their strength, there was no way Li Wei should have been able to fight Locks.
But the turn of events had completely defied Otz’s expectations.
Not only had they started fighting, but it even seemed like they were somewhat evenly matched.
Allen asked with an incredibly complicated expression, "Is Li Wei really a Tier Four Mage?"
Hearing this, Otz’s heart skipped a beat. ’I don’t know either!’
He said nothing.
"Holy Fireball Technique!"
Li Wei raised his right hand, a golden Fireball materializing in his palm.
He slammed the Fireball directly into Locks’s face.
The Fireball Skill, augmented with Holy Power, directly ignored the Magic Shield on Locks.
The Magic Defense Items on Locks flickered a few times, activating to generate a Magic Shield.
But it was no use.
The Holy Fireball pierced through all the Magic Shields and splattered across Locks’s face.
BAM! BOOM!
Locks took a few steps back and steadied himself.
He was utterly surprised.
"I never expected you to have hidden such a move during the tournament."
Locks was thoroughly astonished.
When the fiery light dissipated, Locks’s face was burned. His skin and flesh were scorched and fused together, turning him into a hideous monster.
He raised his left hand and tore off the injured skin from his face.
It was like a snake shedding its skin.
After tearing off the old skin, the face underneath was even smoother and fairer.
This was an ability he gained after fusing with the Power of a snake-type Magic Beast that could recover from injuries by molting.
By consuming energy, he could use molting to recover from most injuries.
Li Wei’s Holy Fireball Technique had indeed given him quite a shock.
However, this alone was not enough to make Li Wei his match.
Locks’s right hand returned to its normal size as his hair floated up and began to grow rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, his hair grew over ten meters long, like countless spiderwebs blanketing the entire inner hall.
TSSSSS!
His hair seemed to possess extremely high Magic Resistance.
Li Wei’s Flame Domain couldn’t easily burn it away.
It could burn some of the hair, but not as fast as Locks’s hair could regenerate.
HISSSSSS!
Countless strands of hair surged toward Li Wei, blanketing the sky and covering the earth, overwhelming everything.
Li Wei snapped his fingers.
A wisp of purple flame appeared at his fingertip.
Blazing Flame Shock!
With a light flick of his index finger, the purple flame shattered, instantly spreading into a cone of fire that incinerated everything before him.
This was the Power of the Middle Level Flame Rule.
Before this, Li Wei had been completely unable to release Purple Flame so easily.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
CRACKLE! SIZZLE!
The Purple Flame burned all the hair surging toward Li Wei to ash.
An incredibly choking, acrid smell filled the inner hall.
BAM!
The roof of the palace was smashed open, and Locks flew out. He didn’t want to continue fighting Li Wei here.
As Li Wei released his flames, the temperature inside the room grew higher and higher.
It was already becoming disadvantageous for him.
Li Wei glanced up at the gaping hole in the ceiling.
He raised his hand, aimed at the ascending Locks, and made a trigger-pulling motion.
"Phoenix Fire Line!"
Instantly, the Purple Flame condensed at Li Wei’s fingertip into a long, thin pillar of purple fire and shot out.
It struck Locks in mid-air.
The terrifying, high-temperature beam pierced directly through Locks’s body.
It passed from his lower abdomen through his shoulder blade, and the wound was still burning with purple flames.
The purple flames were like maggots clinging to bone, difficult to remove.
If an ordinary Mage had taken that hit, they would have been gravely injured long ago.
Locks, however, just grunted and used his "snake shedding" to molt, escaping the burning Purple Flame.
As the shed skin fell to the ground, it was burned to ash in mid-air by Li Wei’s Purple Flame.
A faint blue light appeared on Li Wei’s body, and he flew straight outside.
The Phoenix Fire Line from just now was him using the Middle Level Flame Rule to simulate Elfa’s Magic.
It was at least seventy or eighty percent similar.
BAM!
The ceiling above Li Wei was blasted open by a burst of Power, and he flew out of the palace.
Otz looked up and sighed helplessly in his heart.
’Another hole.’
