Chapter 704: Chapter 350: Don’t Bring Disaster Upon Yourself and Those Behind You; You’ve Become Twisted.
The tier-four mosquito monster is already quite troublesome, but a fifth rank?
Relying solely on Ahaxia’s ghost arrow is clearly not enough; I must take action personally.
Ronan was about to head towards the direction where the fifth-rank mosquito monster was flying in, when suddenly, his expression changed.
Almost without hesitation, Ronan immediately directed Ahaxia to clear the way and swiftly turned back in the direction he came from.
A massive "black cloud" swiftly caught up, revealing several long legs covered in barbed spikes amid the cloud.
From an outsider’s perspective, it appeared as if Ronan was fleeing in panic in the face of the fifth-rank mosquito monster.
However, the truth is actually.....
"Something is frantically attacking my Element Pool!"
Ronan’s expression turned slightly solemn, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam, his magic robe fluttering as he flew swiftly like a great bird close to the ground amidst the dark ruins of the waterway.
Just a moment ago, through the Deep Knowledge Crown, Ronan sensed that the number of Elemental Life around the Element Pool was rapidly decreasing.
In a short period, it had dropped from the original thirty-three to twenty-five, twenty-four, twenty-three....
With almost every breath, the number of Elemental Life Guards decreased by one, causing Ronan’s eyelids to twitch along with it.
He suspected that in the area he had cleared, new monsters had come over, possibly not just a tier-four, but even a fifth rank...
Otherwise, the number of Elemental Guards wouldn’t be decreasing so rapidly.
The Element Pool is crucial for Ronan, and seeing it about to stabilize and be able to transfer to the Mist Space, he absolutely cannot stand by idly and watch it be destroyed.
Ronan completely unleashed Ahaxia’s wild nature, and Ahaxia switched back and forth between its ghost body and ghost arrow forms, rampaging through the dark ruin space, unleashing a relentless "storm of blood and flesh".
The massive black cloud formed by the fifth-rank mosquito monster tenaciously followed behind him, seemingly unwilling to let him go, but Ronan had no energy to spare on this.
Covering a distance of several kilometers, Ronan accelerated and reached in an instant.
Ahaxia hovered above his head, its once elegant and handsome face now completely unrecognizable, a twisted and pale visage fixating on Ronan. Along the way, it had consumed too many residual souls and blood, and its violent instinct could no longer suppress the urge for backlash.
"Roar——"
The [Destructive Sound] at the center of Ahaxia’s brow suddenly lit up, and countless black spike-like wave crests instantly emerged, rushing towards Ronan’s head.
Just as it was about to approach, an immense and invisible spiritual field instantly suppressed it, after which a slender and powerful hand rose up, pressing onto its cheek.
"Whoosh——boom!"
Ronan maintained his flying posture, long hair flowing, expressionless as he pressed Ahaxia with one hand, forcibly "stuffing" it back into the Square-cornered Cow Bell in his other hand.
Throughout the entire process, his eyes did not waver in the slightest and remained firmly fixed on the direction of the Element Pool in the distance.
He could already see the unique mottled energy glow reflected by the Element Pool, and at this moment, there were only less than five third-tier Elemental Guards left near the Element Pool!
The expected scene of a large group of fourth or fifth-rank monsters besieging the Element Pool did not appear before Ronan.
On the contrary, there were no monsters at all around the Element Pool, only one person!
A person wearing a black magic robe, most of their face hidden under a hood, wielding a magic wand and chanting incantations, while methodically eliminating his Elemental Guards and launching Spell attacks against the protective rune formation outside the Element Pool—a Level 4 Dawn Wizard!
"A wizard from another faction?!"
Ronan’s gaze turned icy, his right hand rising, with titanium splitting into several streams resembling thick, menacing golden serpents, which rapidly traversed along Ronan’s arm, intertwining into a thicker golden tentacle covered in countless sawtooth suckers.
"Tear—"
The golden tentacle shot out, like a dazzling golden lightning bolt, instantly tearing through the void, crossing the distance, and whipping towards that shadowy figure.
At the instant Ronan struck, the figure in the black robe seemed to react, spinning around and making an upward gesture, with a blue glow emerging in the palm.
Following that, under the intense Spell fluctuation, an arc-shaped deep blue water shield materialized out of thin air, directly blocking the golden tentacle Ronan had unleashed.
"Boom!"
Water and fire clashed viciously, with extremely intense energy aftershocks, large clouds of white steam billowing up with a "hiss hiss" sound.
"Bang!"
In about half a breath’s time, the water shield shattered with a crash, the momentum of the Golden Touch undiminished, heavily whipping against the figure in the black robe, whose inherent energy shield flickered, followed by a muffled grunt as they were slammed sideways by the golden tentacle.
"Swoosh——"
Ronan arrived at the Element Pool, halting his figure to examine closely the Element Pool’s condition, and only then did his tightly wound heart begin to gradually relax.
Fortunately, only the outermost rune formation had been broken, and the Element Pool itself was not significantly affected.
After ensuring the Element Pool was intact, Ronan turned his gaze towards the direction of the black-robed figure he had struck away.
By now, the black-robed figure had risen from the ground, appearing somewhat disheveled.
From under the magic robe, a fair and delicate hand rose, pulling off the hood used for concealment, revealing a beautiful face filled with resentment and hatred.
Ronan froze upon recognizing the appearance of the black-robed person.
