Chapter 605 The Elder's Demise
Shinra Tensei.
Lin Tian thrust his left hand forward, palm facing the charging shaman guard.
The repulsive field exploded outwards.
The air was compressed into a transparent wall, which rolled outwards in all directions from Lin Tian as the center.
The six shamanic guards at the forefront were thrown back.
Cracks appeared in their bone armor in the repulsive field, and the cracks spread from their chests to their spines.
It hit the people behind it.
The sound of bones and armor shattering blended together, like someone crushing dry branches on frozen ground.
Two guards lost nearly half of their health bars in one go.
After landing, it rolled twice on the ground before getting up.
When one of them got up, his left arm was hanging limply at his side, fragments of the bone armor embedded in the muscles of his shoulder.
But more guards surged up from the side.
Their formation split into three groups: the two groups on the left and right circled around to Lin Tian's flanks and rear, while the group in front slowed down to attract attention.
On Lin Tian's perception panel, red dots pressed in from all directions.
The number of light spots increased rapidly, from a dozen to dozens, and then from dozens to hundreds.
The shaman elder directed the formation from behind.
He raised the bone staff, the shadow crystal at its tip flashing three times—a tactical signal.
The Shadow Wolf reformed its size.
The giant wolf, formed from shadow energy, had been reduced to half its original size during Lin Tian's first attack, but now its form has solidified again.
Dark energy was accumulating within the gaping maw.
The black energy swirled and compressed in the wolf's mouth, emitting a low hum.
Prepare to unleash a ranged attack.
We must not get surrounded.
Lin Tian was well aware of this. Once he was entangled and got close to the shaman guards, Shadow Bolt and melee attacks would hit him at the same time, and his defensive skills wouldn't be able to keep up.
Stars leap.
His figure transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the spot.
The streak of light leaped from the center of the encirclement to the outer edge, landing next to the crimson totem.
The moment he landed, Lin Tian could feel that the temperature of the frozen ground beneath his feet was several degrees higher than elsewhere, a result of the blood-red totem continuously releasing heat.
The third move is the Universal Heavenly Guidance.
Lin Tian raised his right hand, palm facing the crimson totem, and a gravitational field instantly unfolded.
The blood-red totem was uprooted.
The permafrost around the totem pole was completely ripped up, and soil and gravel flew through the air.
The totem pole spun twice in the gravitational field before exploding.
Red energy fragments scattered and flew everywhere, like shards of broken glass hitting the surrounding shamanic guards.
The shaman elder's power boost disappeared.
The pale red aura surrounding him burst like a bubble.
The red energy pathways on his limbs broke.
One by one, the energy threads that were originally connected to the crimson totem broke, and tiny sparks emerged from the breaks.
The Shadow Wolf's charged ranged attack was interrupted.
The shadow energy in the wolf's mouth went out of control and began to expand and contract irregularly.
The shadow energy dissipated on its own within the wolf's mouth.
The giant wolf let out a silent howl, and its form became somewhat ethereal once more.
"No--"
The shaman elder's roar was filled with genuine anger.
His voice, amplified by shadow energy, resounded throughout the battlefield, even reaching those on the city walls.
He raised the bone staff, and the shadow crystal burst forth with a blinding black light.
Three shadow arrows shot out from the tip of the staff, flying towards Lin Tian in a triangular formation.
The Shadow Bolt traveled faster than any of its previous attacks.
It was so fast that Lin Tian barely had time to react.
Moreover, the arrowheads split continuously during flight, with each Shadow Arrow breaking into three smaller arrows.
Three becomes nine, nine becomes twenty-seven.
A barrage of shadow arrows filled the sky.
Black arrows filled Lin Tian's entire field of vision, like a flock of crows swooping down on their prey.
Lin Tian did not dodge.
He still has enough mana for one more Shinra Tensei, and if he dodges, Celia will be right behind him.
The repulsive field of Shinra Tensei unfolds once again.
The Shadow Arrow shattered three meters away from him, and black energy fragments splattered like ink.
But this time there were just too many Shadow Bolts.
The first wave was shattered, the second wave has already taken its place, and the third wave is gathering strength.
The defense was suppressed.
The repulsive field's cooldown hasn't expired yet; the next wave of Shadow Bolts will hit in less than a second.
Celia emerged from the shadows.
Her figure rose from the shadows beneath Lin Tian's feet, as if emerging from the water.
Shadow thorns sprouted from the ground.
Dozens of black vines covered in sharp thorns broke through the frozen soil, weaving a thorny barrier around Lin Tian.
The barrier forms extremely quickly, completing the three-layer weaving in less than half a second.
The Shadow Arrow struck the thorny barrier, creating ripples of black energy.
The barrier's durability is decreasing rapidly, dropping significantly with each wave of attacks.
Xiao Bai's ice dragon breath descended from above.
A beam of icy blue energy swept across the shaman's formation, leaving a thin layer of ice on the ground where it passed.
The deceleration effect slowed their charge.
Several guards who were rushing too fast slipped and fell directly onto the ice.
Although the shaman elder's Frost Totem was destroyed, the Shadow Totem remained.
The Shadow Curse effect increases the attack power of all Orc units by 30%.
This means that each melee attack from a Shaman Guardian can deal dozens more points of damage, which, when accumulated, become a significant threat.
The battle has entered a phase of attrition.
Lin Tian's mana was less than 40% remaining, and he had one last mana potion.
Celia's shadow energy was also rapidly depleting, and her woven thorn barrier had already suffered damage in several places.
Xiaobai's Ice Dragon Breath cannot be sustained indefinitely; the Dragon Breath skill has a cooldown.
He scanned the energy pathways within the shaman elder's body again.
With the Dominator's Eye scanning function fully activated, the energy flow within the elder's body transformed into a detailed map in his eyes.
The remaining two totems—the Shadow Totem and the Soul Totem—experienced even more intense energy flow than before.
The elder devoted more of his spiritual energy to these two totems.
The output power of Shadow Totem has been increased by at least 50%, and the effect of Shadow Curse has been significantly enhanced.
The invulnerability effect of the Soul Totem was still active, and the golden "Invulnerability" icon below the Elder's health bar was still lit up.
The connection point between the two totems: the shadow totem connects to the head, and the soul totem connects to the heart.
The energy pathways in the head are responsible for enhancing mental power and the power of shadow spells.
The heart's energy pathways are responsible for activating immunity when a fatal injury occurs.
First, attack the Shadow Totem.
Myriad phenomena guide the heavens.
Black shadow totems rose from the ground, and the permafrost around the totem poles cracked.
But this time the shaman elder was prepared.
He slammed his staff into the ground, and shadow energy surged from it.
The energy condensed into a giant black hand with five fingers, each as thick as a tree trunk.
