Chapter 285: Destroying the Bone Bridge in One Strike!

Chapter 285 One Strike Shatters the Bone Bridge!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Boom bang bang bang!

On the battlefield, magical lights were colorful and chaotic beyond measure.

From the tops of small mage towers on the city edge, magic beams constantly fired down to kill the surging skeleton monsters.

The number of skeleton monsters grew ever larger, forcing everyone to retreat again and again.

Diana's right arm transformed into a longsword, smashing several skeleton monsters approaching Li Wei.

Li Wei glanced over, paying little attention.

Even if those skeleton monsters approached him, they could not pose a threat.

Holding the Golden Bone Ring, he was as if clutching a warrant of immunity from death.

Although he could not control the skeleton monsters to dismantle the bone bridge, he could control them not to attack himself.

The few skeleton monsters that passed by just now were not aiming for Li Wei; they were merely passing through.

Seeing the skeleton monsters too close, Diana felt threatened and took the initiative to strike them down.

Moreover, even without the Golden Bone Ring, without Diana.

The invisible armor on his body was not something ordinary skeleton monsters could break.

The value of tanking a single Meteorite Spell was no small matter.

Li Wei wanted to destroy the bone bridge.

To relieve the pressure on the defense line.

Among the means at his disposal, perhaps only the Super Charged Blue Fireball had hope of destroying the bone bridge.

However, this did not fit his status.

The Super Blue Fireball Spell was his trump card; using it under public scrutiny was not ideal.

Li Wei thought of another spell.

An immature spell—the Radiance Spell!

Li Wei took out the bottle of Radiance sample Fionrides had given him.

Using this as a casting material, he had a chance to cast an enhanced version of the Radiance Spell.

The spell model for the Radiance Spell was not yet perfected.

The current casting difficulty reached a staggering fifth tier.

Coincidentally, the Advanced Mana Control extraordinary trait granted Li Wei fifth-tier casting ability.

A third-tier spell with fifth-tier casting difficulty; the cost and gain were completely unreasonable.

But looking at the situation before him, it was the most suitable spell.

The Radiance Spell would definitely cut through the bone bridge.

Li Wei summoned the Shadow Servant, saying to the Shadow Servant and Diana: "Protect well, stop any undead from approaching me, disturbing my casting."

When casting with full power, he could not manipulate the Golden Bone Ring.

Undead attacked indiscriminately; he would also become a target.

At this moment, he needed the protection of Diana and the Shadow Servant.

Diana and the Shadow Servant nodded.

"Understood, Lord Li Wei."

"Understood, Master."

Diana glanced at the Shadow Servant.

The Shadow Servant remained unmoved.

Under the escort of the two, Li Wei took out the Radiance sample and began casting.

After the aura of Radiance appeared, the surrounding undead began to stir violently.

Some undead moved away from Li Wei.

Other undead intensified their attacks, wanting to crush the danger in its infancy.

Crack crack crack!

Diana had been implanted with the Weapon Master's combat mindset; during battle, hands, feet, knees, and elbows were all the deadliest weapons.

Skeleton monsters barely approached, not even having time to attack, before she dismantled them into fragments.

Compared to Diana's elegant and precise combat posture.

The Shadow Servant's combat style appeared much more brutal.

From start to finish, just one move, Shadow Claw, tearing apart the skeleton monsters' bodies, exploding the soul flames.

The Shadow Servant's third-tier awakening ability was Shadow Step, possessing no offensive capability.

During this period, Li Wei was quite busy and couldn't help the Shadow Servant ascend to the fourth tier.

It was still at the peak of the third tier.

However, the Shadow Claw at the peak of the third tier was sufficient against the generally first or second-tier skeleton monsters.

Not a single enemy stood a chance.

Ten minutes passed.

Piles of skeleton monster corpses around Li Wei formed a small mountain, and finally his Radiance Spell was completed.

Thud!

The empty bottle fell to the ground, rolled a few circles, its mouth pointing at an empty eye socket of a skull.

Between Li Wei's hands condensed a somewhat unstable white-golden light.

"Move aside!"

He shouted loudly.

The Shadow Servant and Diana instinctively stepped back. Li Wei pushed with both hands, Radiance erupted between his palms, transforming into an incredibly sharp white-golden beam sword slicing through the ocean of undead.

Taking advantage of the Radiance Spell still persisting.

Li Wei quickly controlled the white-golden beam to cut across the bone bridge.

Pish pish pish!

The Radiance Spell swept across; wherever it passed, all skeleton monsters were severed in half, falling to the ground.

The cut ends burned with white-golden flames, the soul fire within the eye sockets extinguishing rapidly.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The Radiance Spell cut through the bone bridge, producing a violent explosion.

Severing the bone bridge proved far more difficult than Li Wei had anticipated.

Had the bone bridge consisted purely of skeleton monsters, the Radiance Art would have severed it entirely.

However, within the bone bridge lay a peculiar force.

That force bound countless skeletons together to form the bridge.

Once the Radiance Art sliced through the skeletons, it clashed with that force, triggering an explosion.

Li Wei felt the Radiance Art in his palm fading rapidly, pouring every ounce of his inner mana into it regardless of consequence.

Having reached this point, retreat was impossible.

With the influx of vast mana, the Radiance Art's potency surged, the beam instantly doubling in width.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Whoosh!

The beam cleaved the bone bridge, sweeping across to sever the bodies of hundreds of nearby skeleton monsters.

The beam in Li Wei's hand extinguished, his mana diminished to less than a tenth.

Rumble!

The colossal bone bridge began to collapse.

White-golden flames burned at the fracture.

The power of Radiance halted the bone bridge's regeneration.

Witnessing this, the crowd seized the opportunity, each straining their utmost to hurl various high-powered spells upon the bone bridge.

Dozens of third-tier spells struck the fractured bone bridge.

Becoming the final straw that crushed the bone bridge.

Deprived of its ability to repair, the bone bridge collapsed utterly.

Shattering into countless skeleton monsters falling from a hundred meters aloft.

"Success! We have successfully destroyed a bone bridge!"

"Unbelievable, truly magnificent!"

"What was that white beam just now?"

The crowd voiced inquiries, eager to know the origin of the white beam.

Yet no one knew.

When Li Wei unleashed the Radiance Art, he had long been submerged by the skeleton monsters.

The pile of surrounding corpses towered over his figure.

Even if someone saw the beam emanate from his position, they could not discern his form.

After clearing the remaining undead nearby, the crowd sought the source of the white beam.

Li Wei had long since departed.

His mana was nearly depleted; remaining on the front lines posed too great a danger.

Li Wei retreated to the rear to restore his mana.

Many other mages were also in the safe zone, drinking mana restoration potions, sitting in meditation to recover their mana.

Li Wei did not stand out among them.

"One bone bridge destroyed, three remain, I wonder what solution the Element Tower holds?"

Li Wei thought of the Radiance Magic Cannon.

The Radiance Art he had strained to unleash held power comparable to the Radiance Magic Cannon.

If he could carry a Radiance Magic Cannon over, he should be able to easily demolish the remaining three bone bridges.

But now the Radiance Magic Cannons were all mounted on emplacements.

Dismantling them was no simple task.

Li Wei's expression flickered slightly; he recalled something.

It seemed there was still one Radiance Magic Cannon not installed on an emplacement.

The prototype within the Hall of Truth remained stored in the research room.

Thinking thus, Li Wei rose and walked toward the Hall of Truth.

Halfway there, he spotted a familiar silhouette.

"Savinnia, what is she doing here?"

Li Wei watched Savinnia turn and vanish into a narrow alley.
