Chapter 351 Counter-Attack After the Sneak Attack [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

[The western low-lying area of ​​the Liuguang Grassland]

"Give up, you can't hold onto that tear of the star."

Tavis's gaze fell on Isabel's wrist, where the Star Tear was emitting a faint blue light, a coveted object for everyone.

Meanwhile, as he was issuing his ultimatum to Isabel, the three Level Two Star Envoys behind him spread out in a triangular formation, completely blocking Isabel's escape route.

These guys were holding tools such as star energy daggers, miniature launchers, and shields, clearly forming a well-organized 'hunting squad' with each member having their own role.

In fact, if it weren't for preserving strength, preventing other hunters around who were also eyeing the Star Tear, and the teammates who seemed to trust each other but were actually at odds and could betray them at any moment, then...

Tavis could have rendered Isabel incapable of fighting and eliminated her long ago.

After all, when a wolf pack successfully surrounds a lone prey, success is always just a matter of time.

However, when faced with Tavis's well-intentioned reminder, Isabel seemed to have heard a joke, and snowflakes representing extreme cold reappeared around her.

"Give up? If admitting defeat could solve problems, there would be no Star Envoy Association in this world."

Upon hearing this, Tavis's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He had intended to save his energy, but the girl's stubbornness clearly exceeded his expectations.

Since you insist on struggling...

Tavis took a step forward, and orange-red light patterns suddenly lit up beneath his feet.

hum!
A nine-square grid-shaped magic circle unfolded out of thin air, with each square radiating a different light.

Some of these special compartments are steaming, like the bottom of a boiling pot.

Some of them were shrouded in mushroom-shaped mist, with an eerie purple hue.

Some were covered with red chili pepper stripes, making the air feel scorching.

Name: Tavis

[Level: Upper Tier 3]

【Star Source: Magic Hot Pot】

【Star Source: Magic Hot Pot】

[Type: Trait-based]

[Effect: After casting this ability, a nine-square hot pot magic circle can be created, with different squares corresponding to different attribute attacks (spicy square for burning/mushroom square for hallucination/clear broth square for binding)]

[Awakening Effect - Ingredient Combinations: By adding different ingredients, the magic circle can acquire more unique effects.]

Despite appearing as a cold-blooded assassin on screen, Xingyuan is actually full of 'humor' as Tavis.

The stark contrast made the audience at all 13 stations burst into laughter.

'Wait, why is it that the more normal the art style of the other characters in this anime (besides the Star Children), the stranger Star Source looks?'

'He's clearly a comedic star, but he's also a stoic, aloof type? Interesting.'

'Laughable as I may be, this Star Source seems to be quite versatile.'

Although there was a lot of teasing about Tavis's Star Source Magic Hot Pot.

However, the audience in the anime world immediately guessed the special nature of this star source.

A magical hot pot that can unleash different spells by combining different ingredients.

As long as we can grasp all the information about the enemy, we can formulate targeted tactics to counter the enemy's Star Source.

And Tavis undoubtedly took full advantage of this.

Star Energy Technique - Spicy Hell.

Boom!

As Tavis unleashed his Star Source effect without reservation, the grid beneath Isabel's feet suddenly exploded.

Scalding red, oily star energy erupted from the ground like a giant boiling hot pot, covering an area of ​​ten meters in radius around Isabel. The scorching hot pot steam instantly dispersed the snowflakes surrounding her, and even her hard ice crystal shield cracked with a 'crack' in the process, eventually turning into numerous ice flowers that melted into the scorching air.

Without the protection of the ice shield, Isabel immediately felt a burning pain coming from below her ankle.

It was as if she could be swallowed up by the sizzling hot pot at any moment.

Fortunately, this was clearly not the first time Isabelle had suffered this loss.

Almost the instant the Spicy Hell appeared, the pale blue star energy around her was immediately released without reservation.

The next second, the originally scalding hot 'hot pot broth' was instantly frozen by one-third.

Some of the red, oily star energy, under the influence of ice and snow, transformed into glistening red ice sculptures, causing the light of the entire nine-square grid magic array to dim somewhat.

Taking advantage of this brief opening, Isabel quickly retreated, trying to escape the oppressive heat.

Before she could take a few steps back, a beam of star energy blocked her path.

He was a Level 2 Star Envoy holding a miniature transmitter. He seemed to have anticipated Isabel's choice and prepared a response well in advance.

Without giving Isabel much time to think, the Level 2 Star Envoy sneered and pulled the trigger again.

Three purple stellar energy rays shot out, accurately targeting Isabel's limbs, clearly intended to restrict her movements.

At the same time, the Shield Star Envoy beside her quickly stepped forward, raised the huge star energy shield in his hand, and completely blocked Isabel's retreat.

Although the four were a temporary team, their teamwork was exceptionally good.

Tavis used the 'Magic Hot Pot' to control the situation and restrict Isabel's movement range.

The Shield Star Envoy is responsible for blocking the retreat route and bearing most of Isabel's counterattacks.

The launcher sent a star to conduct remote harassment, diverting Isabel's attention.

The remaining Dagger Star Envoys were responsible for flanking around to the side, looking for the perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The four-person hunting net was airtight, leaving not a single gap, demonstrating exceptional professionalism.

Seeing that Isabel had nowhere to escape, the Dagger Star Envoy, thinking he had found an opportunity, immediately prepared to launch a final attack on Isabel.

But at that moment, the Dagger Star Envoy suddenly noticed the strange smile on Isabel's face.

"Look behind you!"

Upon hearing Isabel's words, the Dagger Star Envoy suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Immediately afterwards, Tavis, who was still maintaining the hot pot magic circle, was suddenly pierced through the chest by a silver-white rapier.

Despite his successful sneak attack, Chen Kong showed no joy on his face.

Because the pierced Tavis was not the real body, but a false clone.

"That was close. If I hadn't been cautious and kept the hallucinogenic pot at my feet, you might have actually managed to sneak up on me."

Tavis, revealing his true form, suddenly appeared behind Chen Kong, wielding a short sword that struck Chen Kong precisely.

This single strike took Tavis by surprise.

This was because he also failed to hit Chen Kong's true form, but only hit a false illusion.

"You're not the only one with the ability to create clones."

Tavis was about to turn his head when a slender silver sword struck his vitals.

The next second, the wristwatch on Tavis's right hand emitted a dazzling light, and the wristwatch shattered.

As he was being teleported away from elimination, Tavis gazed at Chen Kong, who seemed to be both smiling and not smiling.

I realized that I had been careless.

He paid the price for his carelessness.
