Chapter 1078: Chapter 1080: Chaotic Battle

Wen Wen took a deep breath and activated his teleportation ability along with Nie Ying’s ‘Shadow Affinity’. He needed to maintain the fastest speed to dodge attacks from the Crooked Dragon, which was essential to execute the kiting strategy.

Next, Wen Wen extended his hand toward the Crooked Dragon. A blinding bolt of lightning shot from his hand, an attack he had absorbed from the Crooked Dragon, now returned to him.

The lightning struck the Crooked Dragon’s body, making him feel numb and tingling, yet instead of pain, he felt rather comfortable.

Then the Crooked Dragon charged at Wen Wen. Although he was running, his speed was so extreme that ordinary monsters couldn’t even see his shadow.

If in a normal place, the mere movement of the Crooked Dragon would cause irreversible damage to the surrounding terrain.

But in Yuriano, he couldn’t even damage a single floor tile.

Seeing the Crooked Dragon attack, Wen Wen quickly moved as well. Using both teleportation and shadow affinity abilities granted him exceptional speed.

This speed made the Crooked Dragon find it somewhat tricky; Wen Wen was like a slippery eel. Although the Crooked Dragon had the ability to easily injure Wen Wen, capturing him would take some effort.

But it was just a bit of effort.

Wen Wen ran, the Crooked Dragon chased. Monsters nearby often saw multiple shadows of the two simultaneously.

Kiting is not just about running; you must also attack, so Wen Wen took out the ‘Rune Book of Lofvis’.

He unleashed large-scale attacks akin to light pollution over the battlefield between the two.

Because their speed was too fast, Wen Wen couldn’t catch the Crooked Dragon’s figure. Only an all-encompassing attack had a chance to touch him.

After several intense minutes of such combat, Wen Wen felt somewhat out of his depth.

His speed was sufficient, but his reflexes lagged slightly, so the Crooked Dragon managed to hit him a few times, and each hit took a chunk of flesh.

The Crooked Dragon’s fists, arms, and legs were like terrifying meat grinders; even the lightest touch inflicted serious damage on Wen Wen.

Luckily, the clothes Ha Erman gave Wen Wen were remarkable. Although they offered no defense, they were made of some liquid metal that could automatically repair itself upon damage.

They didn’t help with the combat situation, but at least they kept Wen Wen from looking too disheveled.

For example, if it weren’t for these clothes, when Wen Wen’s thigh was hit earlier, he would have been exposed.

…

Outside of Yuriano, at the foot of a towering mountain.

Stood Ishna, the Black Night Knight, and Ha Erman, the three of them gazing seriously at the mountain ahead. The Black Night Knight had just sent a gathering signal to the other two, bringing them to this mountain’s base.

“The dart I gave the Mystic Detective has a presence here; he must have met Egger, but they’re not in this mountain.” The Black Night Knight said in a low voice.

“There is indeed something strange here, but…”

Ishna withdrew her perception and shook her head at the other two:

“I can’t find the entrance to this place. No wonder it has left the Capital District helpless; it’s quite mysterious.”

Ha Erman stood to the side, not understanding anything, nor sensing anything unusual about the mountain.

The Black Night Knight took a deep breath, his eyes shining.

“My dart is the strongest signal source. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to find a way in here.”

“But now, with a strong signal guiding me constantly, it wouldn’t make sense if I couldn’t get in!”

The Black Night Knight smiled confidently and stepped in the direction of the mountain. As he stepped onto the rock, it dissolved like cotton candy, not impeding his path.

He then progressed, step by step, moving into the mountain itself, with the surrounding black mist causing the mountain rocks to silently vaporize, each step seemingly expending enormous effort.

Ishna smiled, whistling as she followed the Black Night Knight, toying with her trinkets as she walked.

Ha Erman trailed behind obediently, sensing that with each step the Black Night Knight took, subtle changes occurred in the environment, suggesting they might reach a mystical destination.

Wen Wen stumbled into Yuriano using the Sanctuary’s special perception and sensory blocking.

In contrast, the Black Night Knight violently forced entry into Yuriano, relying entirely on the coordinates transmitted by the dart!

The black mist around the Black Night Knight dispersed as he moved forward with heavy steps, each one seemingly costing him great energy.

But Ha Erman could sense that with each step the Black Night Knight took, subtle environmental shifts occurred, so he and Ishna obediently followed behind him.

…

The battle between Wen Wen and the Crooked Dragon lasted a while, and Egger was becoming impatient.

An uneasy feeling suddenly rose in his mind, his temples slightly throbbing.

If Wen Wen could enter here, could the Black Night Knight enter as well?

He could no longer consider this place a fortress. By daylight, he intended to leave Yuriano and find another place to hide.

As for this suddenly appeared superpower user, of course, he needed to be killed.

Egger didn’t care if this person was the Crooked Dragon’s estranged father, but he couldn’t let him leave Yuriano, knowing that he discovered the way in and might bring the Black Night Knight by daylight.

Seeing Egger moving, Qiao Feiya immediately drew her longsword and unleashed a Sword Qi Burst Stream at him.

The dazzling golden sword energy surged like a golden river toward the hunched figure of Egger, radiating a mesmerizing glow.

Wherever this river flowed, monsters were ripped apart, leaving no trace.

Egger did not turn around; flesh and blood continuously manifested before him, blocking Qiao Feiya’s attack.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Qiao Feiya’s strength and was thus pushed back by her, temporarily held in check.

It was precisely because the Black Night Knight knew Egger was injured that he brought along Wen Wen and Ha Erman. Unless Egger risked damaging his essence, he couldn’t instantly kill the two of them.

Egger muttered angrily under his breath, “If I weren’t injured, this little girl I could handle with one hand…”

But his rage was impotent; Qiao Feiya’s Sword Qi Burst Stream was her unique skill, so no matter how furious Egger was, he could only withstand the attack motionlessly.

The surrounding monsters, witnessing this scene, subconsciously retreated, wanting to flee Yuriano.

Qiao Feiya’s presence on Pengwan Island had left a psychological shadow so deep that few monsters targeted by her ever survived.

Yet they quickly realized that this was their base, and with a Catastrophe-Level Expert on their side, what reason did they have to flee?

Various attacks were launched at Qiao Feiya, and some monsters spewed obscene insults, increasing the pressure on her and preventing her from holding Egger back any longer.
