My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

"unnecessary."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable certainty.

The moment the words fell.

It was a completely different kind of overwhelming, thunderous pressure from Dick.

An even more chilling aura quietly spread from Lin Mo's center.

The pale red glow, like a drop of blood falling into clear water, quickly spread and expanded, forming a spherical force field with a diameter of fifty meters.

It covered a large area in front of him.

[Killing Domain], unfold!

Within the domain, the air seemed to solidify, permeated with a subtle aura of rust and death, and even the light seemed to dim slightly.

Yin Xue and Mian Mian, who were inside the area, didn't feel anything, but Horn and the guards at the edge of the domain felt a strange chill run down their spines.

Dick, who was in the air, immediately noticed the changes in the area below.

Although the pale red force field was silent, it subtly gave him a sense of constraint and threat from the level of rules.

He frowned.

"Stubborn to the end! Then I'll turn you to ashes in the thunder!"

Dick stopped talking and pressed his hands down sharply!

"Thunderfall - Sky Collapse!"

Boom! ...

As if the Milky Way had reversed, the violent lightning gathered around Dick instantly transformed into a deep blue lightning waterfall with a diameter of over ten meters.

With a deafening roar and blinding flashes of lightning, it poured down towards the area where Lin Mo was located below!

Wherever the lightning falls, the air is electrolyzed and emits a pungent ozone smell.

Even the space itself emitted a faint, distorted sound, as if it were about to collapse under the strain!

The power of this attack far surpassed any attack Lin Mo had ever seen before.

It sent chills down the spines of all the spectators on the city wall, almost suffocating them!

Faced with this thunderous waterfall that seemed like divine punishment, Lin Mo finally moved.

He neither dodged nor parried with his sword.

He simply pointed the black sword in his hand forward, the tip of the sword pointing towards the center of the Thunder Waterfall.

Om-!

The Killing Domain trembled violently!

The pervasive pale red light seemed to be summoned, frantically converging and compressing towards the tip of the black sword!

The area that originally covered fifty meters rapidly shrank, and all the killing intent instantly condensed into a single point on the sword's edge!

【Slaying Domain Condensed Edge】!

The black sword's blade did not become more dazzling; instead, it grew even darker and more profound.

The next moment, Lin Mo faced the cascading waterfall of thunder and simply swung his sword downwards.

The movements were straight and straightforward, without any fancy moves.

There were no earth-shattering sword energies crisscrossing the sky, no howling winds tearing through the heavens.

Only a single, extremely fine, dark red line, as thin as a hair, extended from the blood-red light at the tip of the black sword.

Against the backdrop of the raging, thunderous waterfall, it pierced straight upwards towards Dick!

The moment the dark red line touched the azure thunder waterfall—

There was no explosion, and no stalemate.

It felt like a hot knife cutting into solidified butter.

The thunderous waterfall, powerful enough to destroy a small section of city wall, was actually stopped by that thin, almost invisible dark red thread.

It was cut open silently right in the center!

Wherever the dark red threads passed, the violent lightning energy was instantly annihilated and decomposed.

The unstoppable waterfall of lightning was split in two and crashed down on the open space on either side of Lin Mo.

Two huge, charred, and smoking craters were instantly blasted into the ground.

The electric snakes darted about, but failed to harm Lin Mo in the slightest!

The dark red line, without slowing down in the slightest, had already pierced through the dissipating lightning waterfall and was heading straight for Dick!

"What?!"

Dick's sinister smile froze instantly, and for the first time, horror appeared in his eyes.

He never expected that his all-out attack on the lightning waterfall would be so easily broken by the opponent!

The thin, dark red line was already getting closer.

It was too late no matter what Dick did.

"Ugh—!"

Dick let out a short cry of pain.

The red thread pierced right through his body, leaving a barely noticeable wound.

Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone...

Dick's body was neatly divided into two parts along those dark red cracks!

The incision was as smooth as a mirror, with no blood flowing out.

After a brief silence, the two body parts shifted slightly and then fell toward the ground.

Both on and below the city walls, there was utter silence.

The arrogance and amusement on the faces of the remaining members of the Astark family froze completely, turning into disbelief, terror, and bewilderment.

That's it... over?

Lord Dick, a core member of the family and a level 70 Divine Guide, was cleaved in two by a single sword strike?

Horn was also stunned; he hadn't expected the battle to end so quickly, so... decisively.

However, Lin Mo frowned slightly; he sensed something was wrong.

Then, a sudden change occurred!

Dick's two falling body parts suddenly exploded at the same time!

But instead of flying blood and flesh, it transformed into countless fine, chaotic, azure lightning bolts!

These electric snakes darted and intertwined wildly in the air, as if they were alive, and quickly converged and merged!

In the blink of an eye, a humanoid silhouette formed entirely from pure lightning elements reformed in mid-air!

The outline gradually became clear, revealing Dick's face and figure.

But at this moment, he was no longer a physical body, but pure lightning.

"Hahaha--!!"

An extremely arrogant laugh erupted from the thunder-like humanoid's mouth.

The air vibrated.

It carried a kind of hysterical feeling of surviving a catastrophe and a sense of triumph as if it were in complete control.

"Didn't expect that, did you, kid!"

Dick's voice sounded like an electric buzz.

"My divine attraction ability also allows me to temporarily become elemental! Immune to all attacks!"

He hovered in the air, his arms made of lightning waving wildly, as if showing off his almost rogue ability.

"That sword strike just now was indeed powerful. If I didn't have that ability, I would have truly fallen to you. Now, let's see how you fight back!"

He became more and more smug as he spoke, his face, formed by lightning, contorted in a grimace.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Mo was filled with the cruelty of a cat toying with a mouse.

"Now it's my turn! I'll show you what despair truly means!"

Before he could finish speaking, the lightning humanoid form that Dick had transformed into trembled violently!

boom!

A thunderous roar erupted, leaving only a gradually fading, azure-blue streak of lightning in its wake.

His true form had transformed into a winding bolt of lightning that was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.

At a speed several times greater than before, it frantically sped towards the airspace where Lin Mo was located!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

Countless crisscrossing streaks of lightning left in the air, like a lightning net that opened and closed in an instant, enveloping Lin Mo!

Dick's figure appeared and disappeared among these tracks.

Each flash was accompanied by a bolt of lightning aimed at Lin Mo's vital points.

Or it could unleash a large-scale lightning strike!

The speed was incredibly fast!

On the city wall, most soldiers could only see a dazzling array of flashing and roaring blue lights.

The specific details of the battle were completely obscured.

Only a few higher-level individuals, such as Horn, could barely catch some of the trails, but they were still terrified.

This speed is completely beyond the scope of conventional combat!

"Wow...so fast!"

"I can't see it at all!"

……

Liu Yishou's heart sank.

Although he had never fought, he had read about elementalization in a book.

This ability grants immunity to almost all damage.

Among all the abilities of the Divine Guides and the Holy Revelation abilities, it is the most shameless of them all.

Thinking of this, he muttered to himself, "Lin is in danger now."
