Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 65: Instant Kill
Time pauses.

Wang Ji wasted no moment and immediately launched an attack, raising his hand to unleash a shockwave powered by level ten magic, dealing over a thousand points of damage.

This allowed him to gauge the depth of their abilities.

The shields on the two people in front of me were both over 40,000 points.

This shield is really thick!

My heart skipped a beat, and a sense of urgency rose within me.

At this moment, Wang Ji himself had only just reached level ten, and his usual shield strength was only ten thousand. Just now, he had lost several hundred points of his shield strength due to the first strike of that thunderstorm.

If the two of them were allowed to go all out and beat each other up, something bad would definitely happen.

A second passed.

His brain was racing, and he even forgot to breathe as Wang Ji recalled everything he could do.

With sufficient mana reserves, the shield regenerates very quickly. Once the time stop ends, if you fail to defeat them, you'll likely have little chance of a second chance.

After all, the Clockwork Cloak has a 50-second cooldown, and the time stop effect range is only 10 meters. Once the opponent becomes alert, it will become very difficult to deal with.

My strongest move can only deal a few thousand damage, and it takes at least a second from the start to the release. In eight seconds, I might not even be able to wear down half of their shields.

What other methods are there, what else...?

Two seconds passed.

and many more!

Searching through his spellbook, Wang Ji suddenly remembered something.

The Bundle of Shadows.

This spell was greatly enhanced after being powered by level 10, transforming from a small laser pointer that couldn't even destroy a block into a laser cannon capable of dealing damage dozens of times per second.

It has an extremely fast firing rate and very high damage per second, but its turning speed is very slow.

In high-level matches, using this spell is basically a waste of time. Not only will you be stuck in place, but because the trajectory is too direct, anyone with a little sense can dodge it, making it impossible to hit anyone.

But things are different now.

[Spell Adjustment, Quick Cast Switch: Shadow Bind]

Three seconds passed.

Wang Ji positioned himself so that he could completely cover the two of them with a straight line, and then raised his hand.

A massive black laser beam converged in front of them, instantly piercing through and covering their entire bodies.

Four seconds have passed.

As the dark beam of light touched the two people, a series of explosions rang out, like a system malfunction that suddenly froze, making people's heads buzz.

That's because the shield is constantly being depleted.

"There's a show!"

Five seconds passed.

Dense black light struck the two of them, weakening their shields layer by layer, and consuming them rapidly every moment.

In Wang Ji's view, this means that dozens of damage checks are performed every second.

Although the estimated power was only 100-200 points each time, the two of them stood still in the laser beam while taking a shower, so they were hit many times.

If they can move, they can dodge, teleport away, or create any barrier that can reflect light to deflect attacks.

Even if you do nothing, you can still withstand the damage by simply charging your standby shield.

But no, they couldn't do anything; both their magic and consciousness were frozen.

Six seconds passed.

Under the high frequency of attacks, the star power is constantly being triggered.

Blue arcs of star energy flickered and jumped frequently between the two people, accompanied by black lasers.

At the same time, a curse flowed into their bodies with the attack, bringing with it intense poison and a decaying effect that could corrupt life, followed by a significant weakening of their bodies in all aspects.

[Electric Arc + Cursed Touch]

Six seconds passed.

Black light shone from the sky onto the earth, and the sun lost its color in its presence, as if the sunlight was absorbed and could hardly travel down.

Seven seconds passed.

Wang Ji remained motionless, silently maintaining maximum power output. However, seeing that the time stop was almost over and the two were still unharmed, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Eight seconds passed.

'Break it!!!'

Nine seconds have passed.

Time resumes its flow.

boo.

Like a bubble bursting, something cracked.

When their consciousness returned, the situation around them had changed drastically. The accumulated massive impact shattered the shield in an instant, their vision was filled with pitch-black light, and a strange poisonous sensation and extreme weakness appeared in their bodies; their lives were spontaneously slipping away and withering away.

The weakening effect of the Cursed Touch, along with the poisoning and decay, caused a deep sense of exhaustion in both of them, leaving them feeling utterly powerless, both mentally and physically.

As a result, they were unable to react immediately.

"What are all these—"

wow——

Those who were closest to Wang Ji barely moved their lips before being completely annihilated.

He died silently and abruptly, leaving not a trace behind.

"Ok?"

Wang Ji stopped what he was doing and realized that the other person had disappeared.

It wasn't annihilated, but rather as if it had been suddenly teleported away.

"Where did it go?"

Without letting his guard down, Wang Ji immediately began reconnaissance, searching the vicinity with taut nerves, leaving no corner unchecked, both above and below ground.

...

"Where is this?"

"Wasn't I just talking to that sage?"

puff--

He couldn't see anything in front of him, his body was extremely exhausted, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which had a slightly strange taste mixed in with it.

poison.

Stimulated by the impending death, the brain finally overcame its weakness and began to function with difficulty.

"It feels so bad, gurgle—I can't breathe..."

The magic was activated, and the shield gradually recovered.

In the void, a light shone.

The environment around me is doing everything it can to torment my body.

Sensing this, the critically injured, near-death high-level magic user suddenly widened his eyes.

"No, no, this is the spirit world!"

"My spirit world teleportation ring has been triggered?!"

Observing his surroundings and determining his location, this high-level magical technique filled him with great alarm.

The Spirit Realm, a new dimension explored by a great sorcerer.

The environment here is extreme and hostile to life. Any life that comes here will be gradually assimilated by the environment and eventually become something unknowable.

It treats everyone equally, whether they are ordinary people or high-level beings; basically, no one can last more than ten seconds here.

But none of that matters. What matters is that arriving here means the Spirit Realm Travel Ring has been automatically activated.

It's a life-saving item that can grant the wearer immunity to one fatal attack and allow them to temporarily escape into the spirit world.

The figure disappeared instantly.

Before being corrupted, this unknown high-ranking individual returned to the mortal world.

The location is still River Bend City.

What about the other person?

He looked around, searching for his companions.

Is it in the spirit world, or...?

"Got you."

A calm voice came from behind, and upon hearing this familiar young voice, the remaining weak high-ranking man's hair stood on end.

The fact that I was transported to the spirit world means that I was instantly killed by this sage. If it weren't for this backup plan...

The person traveling with you is probably in grave danger.

Swah——

As if in response, this high-ranking individual immediately opened a teleportation channel, his figure flashing repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, he left the area and ran far away.

"A monster, this is a monster!"

A powerful enemy is not scary; the unknown is the scariest thing.

Being instantly killed, without even knowing when the opponent made their move or what methods they used, is absolutely terrifying.

I can't understand it, I can't comprehend it.

Run, we must run, run fast, we have to get the message back…

The empire has provoked something it shouldn't have!
