Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 440 A Spatial Talent?
Over at Mili's side, the monsters were trapped, outnumbered, and crushed. Annihilation was only a matter of time.
Chen Luo wasn't idle either. While the Dharma Kings were taking action, he was also cleaning up some monsters.
Every little bit helped, reducing the pressure during the final battle.
Chen Luo didn't use the maximum power of the Dimensional Blade. While it could instantly kill King-level monsters, the consumption was too great.
At full strength, with the staff's amplification, Chen Luo could only use it 21 times.
That would be overkill.
Spatial Storm was the only attack ability Chen Luo could use to borrow the power of space.
Half his own power, half borrowed from space.
A team of monsters entered the African continent, already divided into six smaller teams, each with about twenty members.
One monster suddenly widened its eyes. It received a message that another team had been ambushed. The higher-ups ordered them to return and regroup.
The other monsters also received the message.
Shocked, they were about to return when Chen Luo appeared before them.
Chen Luo counted them. There were 22 monsters in this team.
Without wasting words, Chen Luo attacked directly.
The space around the monsters suddenly became violent, the sound of cracking space filled the air.
Countless gale-like turbulent currents began to sweep across the monsters' bodies.
One or two wouldn't pose much of a threat, but what about ten or a hundred?
One monster, resembling a tiger, angrily roared at Chen Luo.
Chen Luo couldn't understand what they were saying.
Chen Luo coldly watched the monsters in the Spatial Storm.
The monsters screamed in agony within the Spatial Storm, shields fully activated, trying their best to escape the area.
The Spatial Storm's area was fixed; the location couldn't be controlled.
If the monsters escaped the Spatial Storm, they would be spared from the damage.
A strong monster grit its teeth and charged out of the Spatial Storm, rushing towards Chen Luo ferociously.
Chen Luo's eyes flickered slightly, and the monster disappeared, reappearing in the very center of the Spatial Storm.
Void Banishment, go back where you belong.
Void Banishment was actually just Void Walk, except Chen Luo directly used it on others.
True Void Banishment would send the target into the spatial turbulence, banished to the boundless void.
Even if these monsters escaped, they would re-enter the Spatial Storm.
There was no escape.
Banishment didn't consume much of Chen Luo's energy.
These monsters were truly resilient. Worried that other monsters would arrive, Chen Luo clenched his fist, hurrying to kill them.
Space Compression, compressing the space.
The monsters were squeezed together like sandwich cookies, concentrated in one place.
Chen Luo controlled the Spatial Storm's attack, focusing its power.
The frequency of attacks on the monsters increased sharply.
Initially, the monsters could resist with their abilities, but they grew weaker and weaker.
Even with the staff's amplification, this Spatial Storm consumed nearly half of Chen Luo's ability power.
Half of an Emperor-level's power.
The whole process took less than two minutes, and all 22 monsters were killed by the Spatial Storm, their bodies covered in countless tiny wounds.
Chen Luo sighed. I'm really too weak. Killing these monsters consumed almost half of my ability power.
I can only kill a maximum of fifty monsters at a time.
Cleaning up the battlefield, he collected the monsters' corpses into his space and went home.
He had urgent matters to attend to.
With a thought, Chen Luo returned to the base.
By this time, all the hundred-plus monsters in the base had been killed.
According to Chen Luo's instructions, they had all had their heads opened to retrieve the crystals.
Chen Luo threw out his harvest of 22 monsters as well.
The watching King-level members immediately opened their heads.
Besides the rare crystals, there were elemental and flesh-type ones.
They were immediately distributed according to the attributes of the Level 10 members.
It would take the Emperor-level monsters only about an hour to reach the base, but it would take the King-level monsters five hours.
If the Emperor-level monsters couldn't wait and came alone, Chen Luo couldn't ask for anything better.
There were five hours of buffer time.
Could this time be wasted?
King-level crystals weren't very effective for King-level members, so they were given to Level 10 members to help them break through to the King level.
Level 10 members were also different. Some had just entered Level 10, while others were at the high end.
Priority was given to those high-level 10s, trying to help them break through to the King level.
Without time acceleration, how could they break through to the King level in five hours with just King-level crystals?
Chen Luo did his best to use time acceleration on them. Like Gu Changfeng, they could immediately absorb another crystal after absorbing one.
This kind of time acceleration didn't consume much energy.
As for the possible side effects, did it matter in this critical moment?
Even if only fifty members advanced to the King level by the time the monsters arrived, it would still be a considerable force.
On the other side, the cyan monsters were silent.
They had been observing since the monsters entered the Kangaroo Continent and were attracted by the Dharma Kings.
The octopus in the red-eyed monster's body was a mental type, and a species very skilled in mental abilities.
Telepathy and mental surveillance were the octopus's innate skills.
The octopus connected all the monsters, and everything they encountered was clearly perceived by the red-eyed monster.
When the monsters in the Kangaroo Continent entered the encirclement, the red-eyed monster said in disbelief,
"How is it possible? These Blue Star natives seem to have known we were coming and set up an ambush."
The strength displayed by Dawn City wasn't considered strong in their eyes, but it was too unexpected.
They knew they might die, even be completely annihilated, but they never thought they would stumble on native creatures.
They also didn't expect to be ambushed, leading the monsters to be easily lured by the Dharma Kings.
Beside the red-eyed monster, a relatively slender cyan monster had cold eyes.
"It doesn't matter, they are still ant-like creatures."
The red-eyed monster nodded slightly. They had come to find the murderer, and naturally, they had a trump card. The best outcome was for the murderer to die directly.
The next best thing was to use the trump card to kill the murderer.
Suddenly, the red-eyed monster, who had been sitting cross-legged, stood up abruptly, completely stunned.
Even when the monsters were surrounded, he wasn't this shocked.
The others looked at him. What happened? Did they encounter the murderer?
The red-eyed monster said, word by word, "Space-type, Instantaneous Movement."
Instantaneous Movement?
The red-eyed monster explained the Instantaneous Movement used by Chen Luo, and the other monsters fell silent.
Also a space-type, the red-eyed monster knew more clearly what Instantaneous Movement was.
A divine skill of the space element.
He didn't know it, not even touching the threshold.
The red-eyed monster exclaimed, "To think that on this strange and remote planet, a space-type genius who has mastered Instantaneous Movement would appear."
"Rare, but a pity."
The red-eyed monster's other blue eye turned red, red with jealousy.
A space-type genius?
No, no, no, Chen Luo said, I'm not a genius, just a space-type old-timer. Isn't it normal for me to master Void Walk to save my life?
