Chapter 56: Saturation Strike

These Blood-Ear Elves, like sewer rats, hid in every corner of Sugu Ruins City, not daring to show their faces.

Once ambushed, they would surely flee first rather than fight back.

Gune was naturally pleased to see the enemy run.

His long-range area-of-effect Lightning Arc spell was quite ferocious.

If they tried to run, they would only become easy targets.

If they chose to fight back, Gune was even less afraid.

Anyone who dared to charge at him would die.

Blasting open the door, he jogged quickly while casting Fire Arrow.

The whole process took only three or four seconds.

Entering the villa's hall swiftly, Gune immediately spotted the entrance to the underground密室.

Those documents contained quite complete information about this villa.

Inside the villa, there was a very spacious cellar密室.

Gune couldn't confirm if there were people in other rooms, but there were definitely people in this密室, so he decided to block the密室 first.

With a thought, Gune didn't even need to wave his staff.

Hum!

A huge black wheel condensed again.

In terms of destructive power.

Ring Bombardment was second to none.

The密室 door was specially treated; Fire Arrow and Lightning Arc couldn't do much against that defensive door.

But against Ring Bombardment, one shot would surely hit the mark.

The moment Gune condensed Ring Bombardment.

"Whoosh!"

A light, sharp glint suddenly sounded behind Gune.

A blade with the dark red luster unique to魔铜-colored equipment slashed directly at Gune's neck, swift and brilliant.

The most exquisite assassination move of the Shadow, "Throat Slit," which decides the outcome in one strike.

The transcendent assassination technique, imbued with strong cutting properties, needed little force upon touching the throat. The sharp power unleashed by the transcendent assassination technique could instantly sever Gune's head.

Faced with this sudden strike, Gune showed no panic; his heart was calm as a still well.

The moment Gune sensed the Throat Slit assassination technique.

"Lightning Arc."

A spell instantly condensed behind Gune.

Purple electric light, like mist and dragon, spread behind Gune.

"It's an instant spell."

Feeling the burst of electric light, the Blood-Ear Elf assassin did not dodge at all, determined to kill Gune even while enduring the spell.

Chi!

The dagger's tip touched Gune's neck.

"Clang~"

A faint shield, also dark red, appeared on Gune's head and neck.

This shield was oddly shaped, not a full-body shield.

Instead, it was like an astronaut helmet buckled over his shoulders, covering the shoulders, neck, and all parts of the head, while the torso was not covered.

This shield was the effect of Gune's魔铜-grade equipment, the "Magic Shield Necklace."

Other spellcasters, if they obtained this type of energy defense equipment, would most likely form a full-body energy shield.

But Gune discovered through experiments.

If one used full-body energy defense, the defense area would be too broad, resulting in insufficient defense strength.

Then, if the enemy's attack was sharp enough and concentrated at a single point, it might directly shatter the energy shield and then kill the target.

But if the energy shield that could cover the whole body was concentrated to cover only the neck and head.

Then its defense strength would increase geometrically, by seven or eight times.

Thus, the chance of the enemy breaking the shield in one blow and causing fatal damage to Gune's neck and head was greatly reduced.

As for attacks on the torso, Gune was even less worried.

He was confident in his own toughness; only his head was currently vulnerable.

The powerful cutting power of the dagger was directly blocked by the magic shield.

At the same time, violent electric currents instantly enveloped the assassin who had ambushed Gune.

Zzzz~~

Terrifying electric current spread through every cell in the Blood-Ear Elf assassin's body.

Intense electric pain burned every nerve.

As a powerful second-tier Shadow assassin, under Gune's fourth-tier spell bombardment, he now convulsed all over, unable to move.

"Uh..."

The Blood-Ear Elf Shadow, uttering unnatural murmurs, seemed to sense his own end.

A Fire Arrow shot through.

Chi!

The arrow directly pierced his head.

Two ordinary spells.

A second-tier transcendent assassin, dead.

Such was the power of instant spells.

Such was the power of a fourth-tier spell after four transformations.

As long as Gune could withstand the enemy's attacks, while standing and outputting, anyone who dared to charge would die!

As the assassin who ambushed Gune fell.

The Ring Bombardment also followed the sloping stairs, crushing a path of debris on the stone steps, and struck the thick ironwood door.

"Boom!"

Ring Bombardment unleashed a terrifying shockwave.

The entire house shook violently.

"This house... probably won't survive today," Gune thought somewhat leisurely.

As Gune expected.

The thick wooden door with a steel frame of the cellar密室 was directly blown away by Ring Bombardment, smashed to pieces.

Inside the doorway, a dark, oppressive entrance to the cellar密室 was revealed.

Gune didn't want to know what the cellar密室 looked like, nor did he need to.

All he needed to do was kill them all from outside.

Regarding the topic of how spellcasters besiege enemies stubbornly hiding in caves,密室的, cellars, and such.

Almost every spellcaster could provide a wide range of answers.

The method Gune chose was simple.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh...

Dense Fire Arrows erupted wildly.

In less than three seconds, the dense arrows completely blocked the entire stairway entrance.

Then, Gune took out a Water Mist scroll.

As the runes in his hand quickly lit up, the Water Mist scroll was activated.

Gune directly threw the Water Mist scroll into the cellar through the doorway.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The Water Mist scroll quickly expanded.

Extremely thick and viscous water mist burst out like a smoke bomb.

In two or three seconds, the entire cellar密室 was completely submerged in dense water mist.

Even the thick water mist began to seep out through the doorway.

Fortunately, a large number of Fire Arrows were at the entrance.

The flames blazed, burning away the escaping water mist.

The next moment.

Zzzzzzzzz...

Gune began frantically throwing Lightning Arcs into the cellar密室 at an extremely high spell frequency of over ten times per second.

The large amount of viscous water mist released by the Water Mist spell was an excellent conductor of electric current.

And Lightning Arc was a spell with strong conductivity.

Now, the water mist had filled the entire cellar.

By throwing Lightning Arcs in, the electric current's power would spread to every corner of the cellar密室's air.

No one inside could escape; they would all be electrocuted.

As Gune threw Lightning Arcs at high frequency.

The numerous Lightning Arcs interwove into a dense electric web.

The entire cellar was immersed in a sea of purple electric arcs.

The purple light even illuminated the entire hall through the cellar passage.

"My single-second overlap has indeed improved."

While casting, Gune carefully sensed his current changes.

"Before, my single-second overlap limit was 12 spells per second. Now, it feels like 14 spells per second is the limit."

"The faster the soul's thinking speed, the higher the single-second overlap count. And the spellcasting reaction speed will also be faster," Gune pondered silently.

To deal with unexpected events, Gune did not push the single-second overlap to the extreme.

Instead, he maintained a speed of ten spells per second.

That way, if something happened, he would have some leeway.

After pouring over a hundred Lightning Arcs into the cellar密室.

Gune finally stopped casting Lightning Arc.

I don't care if you're dead or not; I'll carry out a saturation strike first.

That was Gune's style.
