Seeing Stu get directly struck by Beane’s lightning, rolling on the ground with smoke rising all over his body, Ye Chui and the others felt like ten thousand alpacas stampeding through their hearts. They were utterly speechless toward this straightforward kid.
What they had said was just casual nonsense to fool him, yet he became so convinced that he was the Thunder God’s successor. He even went and took a lightning strike on purpose.
And Stu was knocked down so easily like that. The surrounding crowd and even Beane himself were a bit stunned. From Stu’s earlier stance, they thought he was about to unleash some powerful sword technique and be incredibly strong. But this was the result?
While everyone was dazed, Ye Chui reacted first. He instantly cast a powerful spell: advanced fog spell, Heavy Mist!
This was a spell Ye Chui had comprehended from the movie The Mist. He had once used it on the streets of Haichao Kyoto. It could generate thick fog and manipulate the fog to condense into various terrifying ferocious beasts and monsters to attack enemies. In an instant, the street outside the City Lord’s Mansion was enveloped in dense white water mist. It was so thick that people could not see clearly for a moment.
Right after that, Ye Chui said in a low voice to his companions, “Take action. First, deal with this thunder magister!”
The situation had developed somewhat beyond their expectations. This Beane was very powerful. They had to find a way to take him out first before handling anything else.
Following Ye Chui’s words, Green acted first. He summoned his vibranium brick. With the help of a cyan teleportation array, a buzzing sound rang out. The silver-white metal brick appeared above Beane’s head and smashed down with a whooshing wind.
However, Beane was the chief steward of the City Lord’s Mansion and one of the top magic experts in all of Fearless City. His reactions were extremely sharp. Sensing the brick falling from above, he let out a cold shout. A layer of lightning instantly spread toward the source of the movement. With a crackling sound, the lightning hit the brick. Green cried out in pain and pulled back his arm. He said somewhat painfully, “My arm feels so numb. I got hit by his lightning!”
“Everyone, do not act rashly!” Ye Chui could sense every movement within the mist. This was his unique Mist Vision. Wherever the mist reached, nothing could escape his perception. He felt that lightning coiled densely around Beane, ready to attack anything that approached his body at any moment. Ye Chui quickly warned them and also stopped Gunnie, who was about to swing her giant sword and charge in.
“The thing that just attacked me was a brick… It is you people! You are from theιζεε Magic Guild!” Beane shouted in surprise.
“You recognised us?” Debbie was startled.
“Hmph. Using a metal brick as a weapon, no one else in the world does it so masterfully except that bald guy from your guild. So it turns out the Seven Deadly Sins Thieves group that has been causing such a stir in the Morning Wind Empire recently is actually yourιζεε Magic Guild in disguise. What exactly is your goal?” Beane said coldly. He had recognised their identities from Green’s weapon.
As mentioned earlier, across the entire continent’s magic history, Green was the only space magister who used a brick as a weapon and wielded it with such proficiency.
“You do not need to know!” Ye Chui saw that their identities had been exposed. That meant this Beane had to die without question. The mist now enveloped the entire area in front of the City Lord’s Mansion. Within the mist, space could be slightly distorted, allowing Ye Chui to isolate sound. Beane’s words did not need to worry about being heard by the crowd outside the mist.
Ye Chui had killing intent. He waved his hand. A terrifying roar echoed through the Heavy Mist. The fog condensed into several huge and horrifying ferocious beasts that roared and pounced toward Beane.
At the same time, Ye Chui also condensed several ferocious beasts that lunged toward the City Lord’s Mansion guards who had been caught in the mist together. Amid screams, those guards died one after another. As guards of the City Lord, their skills were actually not weak, but under Ye Chui’s mist, their strength was practically negligible.
However, the ferocious beasts charging at Beane failed to harm him. In the fog where visibility was limited to mere feet, streaks of lightning flashed. In Ye Chui’s perception, the ferocious beasts he had condensed were instantly shattered and dispersed.
Advanced thunder-element spell, Eye of Lightning!
At this moment, Beane used a powerful thunder-element spell. Streaks of lightning spread from his body and condensed into a huge eyeball above his head. The eyeball coldly scanned the surroundings. Although Ye Chui’s mist blocked normal sight, this giant lightning eyeball could still clearly see everything in the fog.
“This spell is quite interesting…” Ye Chui’s eyes lit up. He sensed that the Eye of Lightning functioned like radar, using lightning to release magnetic forces that probed everything around. It was probably originally an exploration spell for adventurers, with a very wide detection range. Now, wrapped in mist, Beane used it to replace his vision.
“Hurry and download this spell…” Ye Chui felt this spell would be very useful for their future entry into the haunted mine, so he quickly opened the Swift Thunder spell section in his spellbook.
Beane’s cold laughter rang out at the same time: “You think these mists can trap me? I have heard you can use any kind of magic. Now it seems your methods are nothing special. Under my Eye of Lightning, nothing can hide!”
Hearing these taunts, Gunnie immediately became unhappy. She swung her giant sword, ready to charge over, and said to Ye Chui, “Teleport me next to him. I am not afraid of lightning.”
“Do not be impulsive. He is deliberately provoking us to attack him. His lightning is very powerful. Even with your strong physique, you cannot withstand it.” Ye Chui quickly held Gunnie back. Her reaction touched him a little. It seemed feeding her meals worth an ordinary family’s yearly expenses every day had not been in vain. But right now, Ye Chui was downloading the Eye of Lightning spell. He was not in a hurry to deal with Beane yet. He continued speaking loudly to Beane, “My reputation is not for nothing. Your spell may be powerful, but let us see how long you can last!”
Then Ye Chui waved his hand. In the mist, fist-sized bees condensed one after another. With buzzing sounds, they continuously approached Beane. But the moment they came within half a metre of Beane, streaks of lightning shot out from Beane’s spellbook with crackling noises, shattering those mist bees.
For a time, electric light connected into a web, constantly bombarding the bees Ye Chui had condensed!
Some streaks of lightning also pierced through the mist and struck toward Ye Chui and the others.
Beane had clearly sensed their positions now and launched attacks. However, when those lightning bolts came within a few metres of Ye Chui, they were shattered with booming sounds by the thunder wall Ye Chui had set up.
There was no strict elemental counter relationship between magic elements. Thunder-element spells had the most terrifying attack power, and almost no spell could completely counter thunder spells. Earth spells could counter weaker thunder spells, but against fierce thunder spells, they were useless. The only thing that could withstand powerful thunder spells was thunder magic itself.
The thunder wall Ye Chui condensed blocked Beane’s attacking lightning. Under the wall’s effect, it guided those thunderbolts toward the ground.
The ground rumbled and was blasted into craters by Beane’s thunder spells.
Beane might have been deliberately provoking Ye Chui or truly thought this way. He easily dealt with the mist bees Ye Chui condensed and even seized the chance to attack Ye Chui. He let out arrogant laughter: “Nothing impressive. My Eye of Lightning can last a whole day and night. You will not hold out that long!”
“My mist magic can also last a day and night, and I can continuously condense mist ferocious beasts to attack you. I can definitely outlast you.” Ye Chui laughed heartily. First, throw out some commercial self-praise to buy time!
However, after Ye Chui automatically awakened the Swift Thunder app in his spellbook, his spell download speed became extremely fast. Almost right after he finished speaking, with a ding, the Eye of Lightning spell finished downloading. Ye Chui quickly spent one thousand points to unlock this spell.
When the lightning eyeball app icon appeared on the spellbook screen, Ye Chui had already mastered this spell!
A smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and dispersed the mist spreading around. Of course, these mists still formed a fog wall around them, blocking other people’s view.
Seeing Ye Chui voluntarily withdraw the mist, Beane, who was on high alert, looked delighted: “You finally realise your mist magic is useless against me.”
“Not quite. I just wanted to show you something good. You seem to disdain my reputation? I simply want you to understand why people call me that.” Ye Chui said with a smile. He extended both hands. Streaks of lightning spread from his body and condensed into a huge lightning eyeball above his head!
It was almost identical to the one Beane had condensed, only bigger. The lightning arcing around it was also fiercer.
In terms of mana depth, Ye Chui far surpassed Beane. So when using a spell like Eye of Lightning, which relied heavily on mana reserves, his version was much stronger.
“Eye of Lightning… This, this is impossible…” Beane’s expression changed drastically in shock. He had spent countless years comprehending Eye of Lightning. This spell came from an ancient scroll he found in a tomb during an adventure. No one else in the world should have the same spell. Yet now Ye Chui was using it…
Had he just learned this spell?
“So this is the vision of Eye of Lightning? Indeed very interesting.” Ye Chui closed his eyes and sensed the view provided by Eye of Lightning. In his mind, every movement within dozens of metres around was clearly perceived. If he wanted, he could greatly expand this range. It was even more useful than the modified radar-like magical devices on the flying demon vehicle.
Beane was completely dumbfounded. Seeing Ye Chui open his eyes and walk toward him, Beane panicked. Streaks of thunder and lightning continuously bombarded toward Ye Chui.
But a thunder wall formed in front of Ye Chui, constantly blocking those lightning bolts. These flashes could not hinder Ye Chui’s steps at all.
Compared to the heavenly thunder punishments Ye Chui had frequently triggered, this kind of lightning attack was far inferior.
Beane was already considered one of the top experts in Fearless City and even the entire Haichao Empire. Yet in front of Ye Chui, he was now breaking out in cold sweat. Unknowingly, through Ye Chui and the others constantly experiencing various epic-level great adventures, Ye Chui’s current power had reached such a terrifying level!
“You are no match for me. Now you can die…” Ye Chui smiled faintly. He raised one hand, preparing to stylishly use Golden Super Electromagnetic Cannon to finish Beane off.
But just as he was about to casually toss a handful of gold coins to turn into golden sword qi and bombard Beane, with a bang, a vibranium brick appeared above Beane’s head and slapped him unconscious in one hit.
Yes, because he was fully focused on guarding against Ye Chui, Beane had no time to defend against Green’s brick attack…
Ye Chui already had the gold coins in his hand. Looking at Beane collapsed on the ground, he stared speechlessly at Green.
Green knocked Beane out, waved his brick with satisfaction, and said, “The curse of the Demon Emperor, yo. It shocked me so much earlier…”
Ye Chui: “…”
Green, have you already made brick sneak attacks a habit?
