Main Volume Chapter 96: Tornado Dispersal
Lucina was a little surprised: "I am also an inheritor?"
"Yes!"
When Zhang Yun was scanning Lucina's information, she saw her inheritance of "The Chosen One of the Holy Sword", but Lucina said that it was the first time she saw the inheritance, and she didn't know a lot of information about the inheritance, nor did she know about the Holy Sword.
Although Zhang Yun never asked, he guessed that Lucina didn't know that being chosen by the Holy Sword was the legendary "obtaining inheritance", and she didn't know her true strength...
"You found out already?"
"Um."
"You won't tell me directly?"
"You know……"
"ヽ（'⌒＇メ）ノ"
“…”
There was no way. Zhang Yun didn't believe Lucina at that time, so she hid this information and didn't tell Lucina.
Now that the relationship between the two is in place and trust is strong, there is naturally no need to hide anything.
Zhang Yun coughed and said, "Ahem... This is my fault. I admit it. I'll make it up to you later, okay?"
"How to compensate?"
"How about being your personal chef for thirty days, plus telling you how I learned magic?"
"make a deal."
"So now it's time to get down to business, right?"
"Well, I remember it was written in the book that if you want to destroy the magic circle..."
According to Lucina's narration, Zhang Yun roughly understood the method to break the large magic circle. It only requires destroying the core that continuously supplies energy to the magic circle and blocking the formation of magic from the source.
Although the Sea of the Dead in front of us is dark magic, the principle should be similar. Find the core, destroy it, and without energy, the magic circle can be dispelled...
Originally, Zhang Yun thought that the source of this dark magic was most likely the dark magic stone altar and black magic stone that he had previously put into his backpack, but they self-destructed after the spell was formed and could no longer supply energy to the Sea of the Dead.
Therefore, Zhang Yun changed his mind and turned his gaze to the black clouds in the sky that were continuously raining. After all, it was their rain that produced rotten soil, and the undead crawled out of the rotten soil.
Then, the more Zhang Yun thought about it, the more he felt that the black cloud was the core of the magic circle .
As long as we find a way to disperse the black clouds, we can break the spell of the Sea of Undead and stop this wave of undead.
This is easy!
Don’t forget that among the elemental elves, there is a wind elf with super weak combat ability. They are specialized followers specially used to disperse this kind of fog.
No matter whether it is poisonous fog, artificial rain clouds, miasma, or smoke... as long as it can be dispersed by wind, they can disperse it, and do it in a crushing manner.
Including when we fought Agito, his powerful poison fog buff was blown away by the wind elf, and he never benefited from the poison fog at all during the whole process...
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun determined the tactics and immediately summoned all the wind elves in his hands, ordering them to fly up to the dark rain cloud and disperse it.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Yun spent a certain amount of experience crystals to raise all of their levels to the highest level currently achievable, and then learned the skill "Violent Wind Dispersion" with a stronger dispelling effect.
This new skill is different from the small dispel skill that the Gale Elves have when they are born. Not only is its dispelling effect stronger and faster, it can also be combined with the "Gas Dispel" of other elves to produce a combination skill called "Tornado Dispel" that can sweep away all poisonous fog.
Just like the Barrier Elves, one Wind Elves is a tool, but a group of Wind Elves become super tools. Their entire tribe is good at releasing combo skills.
"Come on, Wind Spirit, use the combo skill 'Tornado Dispersion' to blow away all these black clouds!"
Following Zhang Yun's gesture, the group of wind elves rushed into the dark clouds, gathering the surrounding wind elements to form a strong wind pressure.
Then, the wind pressure produced strong winds, which gathered into tornadoes, stirring up the black cloud that was constantly raining, like a storm at doomsday.
At this moment, the wind elves were like wolves rushing into a sheepfold, constantly devouring the defenseless black clouds, breaking them up and blowing them away. In just a few minutes, they had dispersed one-tenth of the black clouds, revealing the red sunset that was about to set...
[Hint: The Wind Spirit is dispelling the 'Black Cloud of Death', the current progress is 5%! ]
"This is……"
"Someone is destroying the magic circle?"
Carl, who was rushing out of the city, turned back and looked at the strange and wonderful sight that occurred when the black clouds in the distance were dispersed , and stopped involuntarily.
"High-level wind magician?"
"But as a high-level magician, why did you come to this shabby desert city?"
More importantly, faced with this kind of large-scale magic circle that requires dozens of magicians to activate, a single magician cannot crack it at all. It requires many magicians to cast spells together to crack it.
Why are there so many high-level wind magicians in this damn place?
Could it be...
The organization's plan was exposed?
Were these wind magicians ambushed here in advance?
Carl frowned, feeling a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly gave up his original plan and rushed towards the strange phenomenon that was constantly dispersing the black clouds.
Not only that, the followers of Ajid who were currently destroying the main forces in the city also saw this strange phenomenon and realized that someone was destroying their magic circle, so they decisively gave up the stronghold in the city that was about to be breached and collectively rushed towards where Zhang Yun was.
There are also the skeleton soldiers summoned by the Sea of Undead. Although most of them are cannon fodder without independent consciousness, they also know that once the black cloud is dispersed, they and their companions will disappear. So, under the leadership of the intelligent elite skeletons, they also kill towards the location of the Wind Elves in a mighty manner.
In an instant, all the enemies gathered around, and countless red dots appeared on Zhang Yun's map, approaching quickly...
Seeing this, Zhang Yun touched his chin and said, "The enemies are coming soon! There are a lot of them! It's probably all of them!"
Lucina pulled out the white sword Zhang Yun gave her and asked, "What should we do? Fight? Or run first?"
Zhang Yun looked at the cleared streets around him. Without the energy supply from Black Rain, the rate at which skeletons were produced in this area had dropped slightly, and could no longer keep up with Zun Ge and Lily's killing speed.
However, there is still extra residual energy in the land, so the production of skeletons did not stop, and their strength did not decrease because of the disappearance of the black rain.
The skeletons are just as strong as they were before, and the types of skeletons are still the same as they were before, without too many changes...
Zhang Yun thought for a moment and said, "Did you see that? Undead skeletons are still being born around us, which means that even if we just disperse these black clouds, we can't completely break this undead magic circle."
"We must find a way to get rid of the rotten soil on the ground!"
"Only then can we prevent the birth of the undead!"
After hearing this, Lucina looked at the black rotten soil where skeletons were still crawling out, thought for a moment, and then asked.
"So what you mean is... we should stay here? Find a way to deal with the rotten soil? And deal with the enemies rushing over?"
Zhang Yun nodded: "Almost. The undead are no longer a problem now. The real problem lies with Ajid and the group of followers who act with him."
"If they have a way to extend and restart the magic circle, then it will be useless for us to dispel the black cloud. They can still continue to summon the undead."
"So we have to kill these guys first, and then slowly study the complete method to crack this magic circle."
Lucina hummed, "What's the plan?"
Zhang Yun looked around and found that the street was surrounded by small bungalows and there was no place to hide, so she said.
"I would really like to fight them directly, but I don't know how many people there are and how strong they are, so I'd better find a place to hide first!"
"Once we have figured out their combat effectiveness and specific capabilities, we will then launch targeted attacks and slowly kill them off!"
"This is safer..."
Lucina asked, "You mean observing from the dark?"
Zhang Yun chuckled: "Yes, that's right, you finally grasped the essence of Tucao, which is secret observation!"
Lucina glanced at the houses around her and asked, "But there doesn't seem to be anywhere to hide nearby? If they look inside those bungalows, they'll be able to spot us."
Zhang Yun pointed at the ordinary civilians killed by the undead on the ground and said, "Come, let me teach you one more thing. The most dangerous place is the safest place. We just need to wear magic props to hide our breath, and then lie here pretending to be a corpse. Can't we avoid the enemy's attention?"
“…”
Lucina said speechlessly: "Please, the undead can sense your breath and your life, and magic props can't block your breathing. No matter how much you pretend to be a corpse, they will recognize you as a living person."
"Even if you don't breathe, they can tell from the energy in your body that you are alive and will find out that you are pretending to be dead, so forget about the props that can hold your breath."
"Also, anger is different from smell. Even if you cover your body with something that smells weird, you can't get rid of anger..."
After hearing this, Zhang Yun touched the back of his head and asked awkwardly, "Does the undead have such a setting?"
Lucina nodded in confirmation, "Yes!"
Zhang Yun frowned: "Well, I didn't expect this, it's a bit troublesome..."
It's really not Zhang Yun's fault. After all, in the game settings, the hidden aura mentioned in the notes of magic props means that people cannot discover themselves at all, just like an inconspicuous stone. Even if you lie next to him, he won't notice you.
In the original game, Zhang Yun relied on this special ability prop to often hide around NPCs, eavesdropping on their conversations and secrets without being discovered by them.
Unless Zhang Yun makes a sound that can be heard by others, and they come here to find the sound and see Zhang Yun as a living person, they will then discover his existence.
In movies, undead skeletons are often depicted as beings that can only locate their position by sound, and cannot sense the breathing or life of living people.
Including in many treasure hunting plots, they are always unaware of the protagonist who is right next to them. Only when the protagonist accidentally kicks a stone will he be discovered by the skeleton ghosts.
Therefore, Zhang Yun subconsciously believed that the magic props that concealed the aura could deceive the skeleton soldiers and avoid being discovered by them.
Who would have thought that the undead in this world are stronger than zombies and zombies. As long as you are alive, even if you are motionless, not breathing, and covered with the smell of blood or Oli Gei to cover up your smell, they can still find you and hack you to death...
Ahem, so not knowing common sense is troublesome. I almost made such a low-level mistake. Fortunately, I had the help of Lucina, a female intellectual...
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yun came up with a new plan: "Since we can't hide in the house and the body can't be stored, then we might as well fly into the sky."
Lucina wondered, "Wouldn't it be easier to be exposed if we flew into the sky?"
Zhang Yun coughed a few times, pretending to be deep, and regained a little face.
Then he explained: "You know, when covert observation doesn't work, we can change our mindset and observe openly."
"Anyway, as long as the enemy uses all their strength but cannot hit us, that's enough, and we can still find out the enemy's capabilities, and it will be clearer than observing in the dark."
Lucina blinked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Yun pointed to the sky and said, "Let's fly up to the sky. I will summon a large barrier and hide inside it openly while observing the ground. Those enemies will definitely find a way to attack us."
"Then we can slowly study their long-range attack capabilities."
"If necessary, I will place some summoned creatures on the ground and have them ambush in those bungalows, waiting for the enemy to arrive and then rush out to attack. We will be able to see the enemy's melee ability during their melee."
Lucina: “???”
"Hey! Isn't this a better solution than being a corpse? Why don't you give it priority?"
Zhang Yun shrugged and explained, "Do you remember the Ajid from before? It can fly!"
"I'm afraid it will fly directly into the sky, suppress us, force us to land, and then force us to face all the enemies and fall into an unfavorable situation of being surrounded. That's why I give priority to the plan of observing in secret..."
Lucina pondered, "Indeed."
"It's different now. We have nowhere to hide, and we'll be chased if we run. So we might as well fly directly into the sky and fight them openly."
Lucina tilted her head: "I see! At your wit's end?"
Zhang Yun corrected: "What? Can you chat? This is called strategic transfer, changing strategy, tactical flight!"
Lucina snorted coldly: "You are at your wit's end!"
Zhang Yun: “…”
Too lazy to continue bickering with Lucina, Zhang Yun waved his hand, called out all his land followers, and ordered them to hide in the surrounding bungalows to ambush the approaching enemy.
Then he summoned two cranes, and he and Lucina rode on one each, flying to the elemental spirits that were dispersing the black clouds.
"Not bringing Brother Zun?"
Influenced by Zhang Yun, Lucina's speaking style became more and more modern, and she also started addressing Micott as "Brother Zun", just like a game player in her previous life.
Zhang Yun said : "No need, let him ambush below, that is more suitable for him to perform."
Lucina asked again, "Where's Lily?"
Zhang Yun said, "Leave her on the ground. When we need her, we can let her use the levitation technique to fly up."
Lucina asked in confusion, "So what you mean is, let them fight the enemy down there, while we hide in the sky and secretly observe the enemy's abilities. Once we have figured out the enemy's abilities, we can then enter the battlefield?"
"yes!"
"Then Brother Zun and Lily will just become tools, right?"
"yes!"
"Okay, I finally understand why Brother Zun wanted to explain to me the meaning of a tool man."
“…”
