Chapter 252 A Momentary Flaw
The rhythm of the battlefield subtly shifted as Lin Tian's thoughts raced.
Morgus remained like an erupting volcano, alternating between [Abyssal Breath] and [War Stomp], violently unleashing its power in an attempt to crush the nimble "flying insect" in the air.
Lin Tian continued to use [Stellar Leap] for high-frequency movement, occasionally harassing the enemy with [Arcane Missiles] or [Star Rays].
Despite appearing to be suppressed, his calm eyes were like the most sophisticated radar, scanning Morgus's every subtle movement and calculating his strength, center of gravity, and timing.
We can't keep wasting time like this. We must create an opportunity, a chance to deliver a fatal blow.
A faint yet clear mental fluctuation, like an invisible thread, instantly connected Lin Tian with Celia, who was struggling to avoid danger at the edge of the battlefield.
"Celia, obey my command." Lin Tian's voice rang directly in her mind, devoid of any emotion, only absolute calm.
"I need you to restrain its forelimbs the moment I create the opportunity, even if it's just for a second."
Celia's golden eyes suddenly lit up, and without any hesitation, she immediately responded with her mental power: "Understood, Brother Tian!"
She stopped her aimless wandering and began to secretly gather all the shadow energy within her body, like a fully drawn bowstring, waiting for that earth-shattering arrow.
She knew that her role was crucial; it could be the difference of a single second that decided the outcome!
Opportunities are fleeting.
Lin Tian activated [Star Leap] once again. With a flash of starlight, his figure suddenly appeared to Morgus's left front side, a position that was both unsafe and highly provocative.
He even deliberately slowed down the flow of the [Flame Shield], giving off a faint illusion of being "exhausted".
Sure enough, this distance and posture immediately attracted Morgus's full attention!
Its small, scarlet eyes blazed with ferocity as its frustration and rage from being constantly harassed by the "fly" reached their peak!
It abandoned the [Abyssal Breath] which required a short preparation time, and chose the most direct and fastest attack—raising its giant claw, which was enough to crush hills, and bringing with it a fierce wind that tore through the air, it slammed down on the airspace where Lin Tian was!
Even before the giant claw arrived, the terrifying wind pressure had already almost solidified the air around Lin Tian!
It's now!
Faced with this terrifying blow that could turn him into mincemeat, Lin Tian not only did not retreat, but instead steadily pointed the [Star Devouring Staff] in his hand at Morgus!
But what he used was neither an offensive skill nor a defensive skill, but rather—
【Universal Guidance】!
However, this time the [Universal Guidance] is completely different from the gravitational field that covered the area during the previous clearing!
Lin Tian compressed and condensed his immense spiritual and magical power to an extreme degree, but did not apply it to Morgus's massive body—that would be like an ant trying to shake a tree.
He precisely positioned the gravitational singularity above Morgus's relatively vulnerable and nerve-dense nose, right next to its head!
A strange, incredibly powerful gravitational force, directed vertically upwards, suddenly erupted!
"roar?!"
Morgus's giant claw suddenly froze as it struck down!
Its massive head, which was pounding forward with all its might, was pulled backward uncontrollably and violently by this sudden and extremely tricky upward gravitational pull!
It's like a giant charging forward, suddenly having his nose hooked and pulled upwards with a sharp pull!
This strange force, which violated its usual exertion habits and body structure, caused it to lose its balance instantly!
In order to resist the force that made its head tilt backward, its massive body instinctively sat back. Its forelimbs, which had just been raised but not yet fully lowered, lifted slightly off the ground in order to maintain the sudden change in center of gravity, creating an extremely brief vacuum of power!
At this moment, Morgus raised his ferocious head high, and his huge mouth opened involuntarily due to shock and roar, revealing the light-colored inner wall of his throat.
The forelimbs are off the ground, and the joints are exposed; the balance of the entire body depends on the center of gravity that has been forcibly twisted!
A fatal flaw! A fleeting, deadly flaw!
"Celia!" Lin Tian's mental command exploded like a thunderclap!
Celia, who had been waiting for the right moment, had a resolute look in her eyes!
She unleashed all the shadow energy she had gathered within her body without reservation!
【Shadow Weave】—Maximum power, targeted restraint!
Instead of trying to entangle that massive body, it transformed all its shadow energy into dozens of incredibly thick, shimmering black thorns, like living venomous pythons, precisely and tightly wrapping around Morgus's two forelimb joints that had just slightly lifted off the ground and were at their weakest point!
Especially the gaps where the joints connect!
"Crunch—!"
A sickeningly sharp sound of binding echoed! The Shadow Thorns dug deep into the gaps in the scales, the powerful binding force even causing the scales at Morgus's joints to groan under the strain!
Although, with Morgus's savage strength, this level of restraint could only last for one or two seconds at most, or even less!
But for Lin Tian, one or two seconds was enough!
"Awooo—!!!"
His head was forcibly pulled up, his forelimb joints were tightly bound, and his body balance was completely broken!
Morgus let out an unprecedented, earth-shattering roar, a mixture of rage, astonishment, and a hint of...unbelievable panic!
Its enormous mouth, filled with dagger-like fangs, opened to its limit at this moment. Its relatively vulnerable throat, which was not protected by scales, along with the soft flesh deep inside its mouth, was completely and clearly exposed to Lin Tian's attack vision!
The gates are wide open! A fatal weakness, like a lighthouse in the night, is clearly presented to the hunter!
This was the only and brief window of opportunity that Lin Tian had meticulously created for this abyssal behemoth, thanks to his precise calculations, keen timing, and seamless cooperation with Celia!
In that instant, the balance of power tipped decisively, accompanied by Morgus's terrified roar!
Lin Tian hovered in mid-air, the Star Devouring Staff already raised, its tip gathering terrifying, destructive energy.
His gaze was as cold as ice, fixed firmly on the unprotected depths of the throat.
The opportunity has been created.
Next comes the harvest.
