Bab 28: Chapter 28
Chapter 28
Ron clenched his fist tightly—the hand grasping the test tube was not affected at all. His face appeared pale and petrified, as if he had not seen the sun in a while.
With his strong vitality, Ron was not affected much. If it were any regular human, they would have long since succumbed to the cold.
Suddenly, Jayden started to stir, and Torash's gaze turned frostier. He immediately waved his hand, summoning a thick and long bolt of lightning that struck Jayden.
*Bang!* The vines on Jayden's body fell, and he fainted. Moreover, his whole body turned black, as if he were a pile of scorched rubble.
"Stay put, trash! I will deal with you later!" Torash waved his hand, dismissing Jayden's fate.
According to Ron's advanced scientific analysis, Jayden's outer appearance seemed terrifying, but there was still a pulsating life force within him. Therefore, Ron did not bother about him.
"A Lightning element is indeed one of the stronger powers. Although Jayden's magic artifact is designed for attack with minimal defense, he was still defeated so quickly. No, it could be that the other party had been toying with him, like a cat with a mouse."
"Now, it's my turn!"
Torash, who was on the other side, charged directly at Ron and brandished a short black staff.
"You overestimate yourself," Ron snorted and used his analytical skills to slash at him with precision.
*Peng!* The two weapons clashed. Even under the frost effect, Ron's speed didn't waver. In fact, he deliberately matched it with Torash to enjoy the fight.
After the two weapons clashed, Ron used the force in both his arms and pressed the sword down on his opponent. Torash stumbled and fell back.
"Hehe… Your strength isn't too bad!"
Although the blade was just centimeters away from his face, there was no fear on Torash's face. Looking at Ron, his gaze held some ridicule and a hint of the savage thrill of retaliation.
Ron knew his next move but didn't dodge. He wanted to see how his modified device, the Fallen Star Pendant, would perform.
In the very next moment, several bolts of lightning extended from Torash's arms and shot at the cross blade, even reaching Ron's hands.
At the last moment before the lightning would hit him, Ron evaded the attack.
"Too late!" Torash looked at Ron and chanted an incantation.
The current from the staff directly bore through the ground, extending like the root of a tree. In the blink of an eye, it caught up to Ron.
*Zzzii!* Once the black lightning landed on the ground, it reappeared from the ground right in front of Ron.
As if a venomous snake, the blue lightning charged at Ron.
"Ah!" Bicky, who was on the other side, involuntarily screamed and covered her mouth.
*Ping!* Suddenly, a layer of silver membrane appeared on Ron's body.
This silvery membrane immediately covered every inch of Ron's body, even his orifices. On the membrane were several pale reflections of flickering red jewels, giving off a mystical luster.
The blue lightning took the shape of a python with a crazed leer and opened its jaws. Lightning-made razor-sharp teeth directly bit into the membrane.
*Sssii Sssii!*
A sound like metal smashing porcelain was heard, and the ear-piercing noise traveled across the whole battlefield. Bicky involuntarily covered her ears.
The lightning on Ron's body exploded, and from time to time, a few poisonous-snake-like lightning currents converged, letting off explosive noises.
Ron appeared like a silver statue, receiving the blessings of the lightning bolts.
The lightning attack lasted for close to thirty seconds before it dissipated.
There was a satisfied expression on Ron's face as he looked at the indication given by his AI Chip.
"[...] Host is subjected to Lightning-based attacks. Degree of power: 9! Fallen Star Pendant has automatically activated, energy consumed: 15.99%. Host has successfully blocked the attack and sustains no injuries!"
"Good!" Ron looked at his hands. Even after knowing that his opponent excelled in the Lightning element, he didn't put on insulating gloves before the battle. His hands were a little black, which quickly reversed to normal. The Fallen Star Pendant's defense could negate attacks up to 15 degrees. If Torash's attack did not exceed this degree, Ron's body was like a turtle shell until the energy of the Fallen Star Pendant was depleted.
"How is this possible?" Gazing at Ron, who seemed unharmed, Torash's mouth was wide open.
"This is an attack my professor has personalized for me. It complements my affinity, and my degree of attack is at least 9! How could you be fine?"
"I understand now! You definitely must have a defensive magic artifact on your body!" Black-haired Torash quickly understood the truth.
"Although it is only a low-grade defense magic artifact, there will definitely be many official Magi who will be interested in it…."
Torash licked his lips, and a fervent greed appeared on his face. A low-grade defense magic artifact was worth at least five times that of Jayden's attack-type magic artifact.
"Kill him! Kill him! Then that magic artifact is mine!"
Torash's eyes turned bloodshot. "Even if it is a magic artifact, there is a limitation. Once it's depleted of energy, before the next recharge, it would be a piece of trash! However, could I last that long?"
"Even if I'm unable to keep him here today, I can gather other students to chase after him… Wait a minute, maybe there is a better idea?"
After seeing the Fallen Star Pendant, Torash did not harbor any hopes of holding Ron there today. However, the flames of desire slowly invaded his logic.
Suddenly, Torash saw Bicky, who was behind Ron, and his eyes lit up as he made a proposition.
"You! You are very concerned with the green-haired girl behind, right?" Torash questioned. "Don't deny it; jumping out to save her is the best proof!"
"Yes, I am," Ron admitted with a smile.
"Give me your magic artifact, and I'll let her go. Not only that, even Jayden and the other girl, I'll let them go too," Torash offered, licking his lips.
"Haha…." Ron shook his head after hearing that proposal. "Yes, I can't keep you here today since you have the magic artifact. However, I can definitely retain the green-haired girl and even kill her."
"Are you sure?" Ron looked even calmer.
"You…." Torash was extremely angry at this reply. He knew that Ron wasn't easily swayed by threats.
"You seem not to understand the situation you are in," Ron looked at Torash with a sense of superiority.
He understood that responding to threats would only lead to more demands. Torash might be playing with him, thinking that he could at least stall Ron for some time and then corner him with his fellow acolytes.
"Do you think you can protect her?" Torash's cunning eyes flitted to the back of Ron.
"I will rip her apart right before your eyes if you don't listen to me!"
"How lame!" Ron did not respond to Torash
