Chapter 367: Chapter 348: Brens’ Fall
"Since you’ve already figured it out, I have nothing to hide, hahahaha~"
Four wings!
Under Lin Yi’s gaze, two pairs of wings suddenly unfolded on Brens’ back!!
Isn’t this the image of a four-winged angel that Lin Yi had seen in other games?
If Brens’ old face could be swapped for the visage of a beautiful woman, it would be perfect.
"What a strong smell of blood!"
The Jade Qilin beside Lin Yi exclaimed:
"Those wings were actually nurtured with the bloodline of his own kin, what a ruthless old fellow."
At this moment, with the unfolding of Brens’ two pairs of wings, the name above his head also noticeably changed:
Brens Lv40 (Sealed Lv81)
Mutant Winged
Life Value: 750000/750000
Especially noting that sealed Lv81, if Lin Yi understood correctly, once this guy leaves here, he would become a demigod with level 81, right?
A demigod!
Just at his level, probably even the combined forces of the four City Lords wouldn’t be his match.
But fortunately, here he’s only level 40.
Lin Yi said gravely:
"Get ready."
As the four wings unfolded, Brens suddenly showed a pained expression and said:
"You understand nothing!"
"Just because our appearance is intricately connected to the Ancient Divine Race, do you know what kind of dark era we of the Winged Race have endured?"
"As a member of the Hundred Races, we have to constantly guard against our own people from turning against us."
"Just because of a baseless rumor, my kin have to sacrifice their lives to satisfy the desire of those greedy races to become stronger."
"Have you ever experienced the kind of anxiety where even just stepping out the door makes you worry whether you’ll be assassinated by someone lurking in the shadows?"
"Even hiding at home to sleep, fearing whether you would see the sun the next day?"
Brens almost roared:
"No!"
"You people can never understand the pain we endured during that time."
At this moment, Brens seemed to be entrapped in a demonic obsession, muttering to himself:
"Until one day someone told me, to escape the situation where the Winged Race is hunted as prey, we must become powerful ourselves."
"Only by becoming powerful ourselves, who would dare stand against us?"
Suddenly, Brens gripped a large blade formed by Light Magic, and the madness on his face gradually receded, staring at Lin Yi expressionlessly:
"Later, I realized that the so-called Hundred Races Alliance is just a joke."
"To change the fate of the Winged Race, we must break through the bottleneck of the Winged Race’s power and restore the glory of the Ancient Divine Race."
"Boom~"
The two pairs of pure white Feather Wings on Brens’ back flapped heavily, a few white feathers slowly falling:
"To achieve this goal, all sacrifices are worth it!"
Just then, dozens of winged beings flapping their four wings slowly ascended from the seemingly bottomless abyss below, quickly surrounding Lin Yi tightly.
When Lin Yi looked at these lifeless-eyed winged beings, his eyes were filled with unparalleled shock: Is this an otherworldly version of biochemical humans?
Mutant Winged Lv30 (Sealed: Lv70)
Life Value: 230000/230000
Lin Yi’s gaze towards Brens changed abruptly: This lunatic is even using his own kin for biochemical experiments!
What kind of twisted mind could commit such a crazy, even deranged act?
Moreover, their actual level was as high as level 70, almost comparable to the four City Lords.
Suddenly, Brens’ triumphant laughter echoed:
"This is the Four-winged Divine Guardian Corps I crafted for my kinsmen."
"Do you think when I create a corps of over a hundred or even a thousand Four-winged Divine Guards, who in this world would dare oppose my Winged Race?"
Thousands of Saints (Lv70)?
Lin Yi imagined that, given the current plight of the Hundred Races, without intervention from the Dragon Race and a few other abnormal races, this lineup would unquestionably be invincible.
Brens’ laughter suddenly ceased, and he turned to Lin Yi:
"By then, I will make those races who once offended me pay a heavy price."
"Including your Human Race!"
And Lin Yi suddenly said:
"Too bad, you won’t get the chance!"
In an instant, Lin Yi decisively took action:
"Arcane Nova"
At Brens’ location, a field of meteors fell like snowflakes:
"Bang!!"
"-5100"
As soon as the spell was cast, Brens was instantly engulfed by a field of meteors:
"-3740"
"-2106"
At the same time, the skill "Arcane Burst" was already forming and descending,
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, at the moment of the Arcane Burst’s explosion, Brens had already disappeared from the spot.
The Golden Behemoth suddenly roared angrily:
"Don’t harm my master."
"Thud, thud, thud"·
Brens suddenly reappeared above Lin Yi’s head, and the Golden Behemoth leaped up in three strides after a running start, roaring from its mouth:
"Get lost!"
Brens’ attack, originally aimed at Lin Yi, swung towards the Behemoth:
"Bang!" with a sound, the two collided.
"-1160" (Brens)
"-980" (Golden Behemoth)
The Behemoth flew backward under Brens’ attack, crashing to the ground:
"Boom"
However, Brens merely paused in the air, immediately readjusting and preparing to launch another attack at Lin Yi.
Just then, the entire platform was enveloped in a layer of jade-colored light.
This was the first time Lin Yi activated the Jade Qilin’s special skill:
"Ice Domain"
Enemy: Attack Speed/Movement Speed -20%
Allies: Attack Speed/Movement Speed +10%
Lasts 5 minutes.
The gap between the two sides was significantly narrowed in an instant. As the domain was activated, Lin Yi jumped onto the back of the Jade Qilin:
"Arcane Missile"
A sphere of light drew an arc in the air, hitting Brens:
"Bang!"
"-9403"
A massive damage number rose above Brens’ head, and Lin Yi was immediately taken aback: such high damage, nearly ten thousand.
Hit by the light orb, Brens flew into a rage, and suddenly dozens of light sabers appeared behind him, furious:
"Die."
In an instant, dozens of light sabers shot toward Lin Yi like a rain of arrows.
Lin Yi remained unfazed, immediately activating the skill attached to Jade Qilin:
"Silence"
Magic cannot be used within the area for 10 minutes.
The light sabers Brens had just gathered evaporated into the air, leaving Brens shocked as he looked at Lin Yi:
"What have you done?"
Lin Yi gave a sneer and switched to Purple Thunder, telling the Jade Qilin:
"Go."
Within the silence range, Lin Yi was also restricted from using magic.
However, this didn’t affect Lin Yi much, but it made Brens’ eyes flash with a trace of panic:
"Damn it."
Without magic, Brens naturally couldn’t gather light elements to form weapons.
This almost cut down half of Brens’ abilities.
Lin Yi switched weapons, holding Purple Thunder and activating a skill:
"Arcane Mysterious Step"
Speed skyrocketed!
Under Brens’ terrified gaze, Lin Yi, riding on the Jade Qilin’s back, left only afterimages:
"Arcane Impact"
"Pu Chi"
"-9304"
System: Trigger passive paralysis effect, target is immobilized for 1 second.
"-4890"
"-4261"
"-4366"
"-7403" Critical Strike~
A series of damage numbers rose above Brens’ head in just one second.
Faced with the ghostly Lin Yi, the magicless Brens was like a sacrificial lamb, helplessly attacking Lin Yi in a frenzy:
"Come out."
"Ah!!!"
"I’m going to kill you."
However, in front of Lin Yi, whose speed had increased by over 260%, all of Brens’ attacks missed without exception.
When the Jade Qilin’s Ice Domain lasted for 5 minutes, Brens’ life had already dropped to just over 300,000, more than half gone.
Having recovered some strength, Brens’ speed also noticeably increased.
However, under Lin Yi and the Golden Behemoth’s precise coordination, all of Brens’ resistance was in vain.
Waiting for the 10-minute "Silence" effect to pass, Brens was left with only 5% of his life, roaring in unwillingness:
"What did I do wrong?"
At this moment, Brens kept repeating like he was possessed:
"I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong."
"You all deserve to die, die, die."
Suddenly, the shield around the platform disappeared, and those mutated winged people outside, under Brens’ command, charged at Lin Yi:
"Kill him!"
Seeing the crazed Brens, Lin Yi was at a loss for words and could only control the Jade Qilin, activating a skill:
"Qilin Shield·Saint"
Dodging the dense attacks through extreme maneuvering while continually releasing two group attack skills into the crowd:
"-8402"
"-7842"
"-24050" Triple damage
"-8100"
"-14655" Critical Strike~
...
Huge damage numbers rose above the mutated wingsmen’s heads, while Lin Yi dodged skills and survived through attack life steal attributes, making it a precarious survival.
Fortunately, these mutated winged people were mindless ’tools’, their attacks single and relatively easy to predict and dodge.
Otherwise, Lin Yi would likely have been dead beyond recovery.
Soon, dozens of mutated winged people turned into Lin Yi’s experience and equipment materials, falling on the platform spectacularly.
Although the current level was limited to level 30, Lin Yi estimated that this wave at least raised him by a level at the very least.
Just because the experience given by a single mutated wingsman was almost as much as that given by a same-level BOSS, incredibly abundant!
The only thing Lin Yi regretted was the Golden Behemoth’s heroic ’sacrifice’ in the middle, unable to share the experience.
Lin Yi gasped and fell onto the platform, not bothering to look at the scattered equipment, but looking at Brens sitting unmoving on the ground:
"Now, do you have anything to say?"
Brens, with vacant eyes, looked at the corpses of the mutated wingsmen, chuckled wistfully:
"I never thought my nearly millennium-long plan would fail today."
"Truly, the heavens have forgotten my Wing Race!"
"Boom!"
Brens suddenly vibrated his wings, and Lin Yi dove toward him:
"It’s over."
"Arcane Impact"
"Pu Chi"
"-18900" Double damage
System: Trigger passive paralysis effect, target is immobilized for 1 second.
"-4985"
"-3154"
"-4763"
"-7448" Critical Strike~
...
Under a series of attacks from Lin Yi and the Jade Qilin, the just-standing Brens fell backward with a crash:
"Bang!"
At the same time, dazzling equipment exploded around Brens.
Lin Yi walked step by step to Brens, looking at the unseeing Brens, and sighed:
"Your starting point was indeed not wrong, but your methods were."
Regarding all of Brens’ endeavors, Lin Yi didn’t wish to comment further, as it’s often said, the dead are like extinguished lamps; all past is but a fleeting cloud.
Then Lin Yi turned his attention to the pair of wing-like equipment Brens dropped, something he had been curious about from the start, finally revealed.
