195: Chapter 195 has finally ended.
Although he didn't know the reason, he stopped dwelling on it.
He cast the Thunder Emperor Domain... This was a Tier 6 Spell and the strongest lightning-element magic he had mastered so far.
After casting this Spell, a range of several kilometers became Lin Fan's Thunder Domain.
Within this area, he could do whatever he wanted; he was omnipotent.
Lin Fan looked down at the smoke-filled canyon.
He clearly sensed that the Void Knight had already risen and was hovering amidst the smoke.
Even though he attacked with full force, the opponent remained unscathed, not even leaving a single scratch on its armor.
He had to create a Tier 6 Spell as soon as possible.
"Tell me about the System. Why do you know about it?"
Lin Fan asked coldly, his voice echoing with thunder.
The Void Knight actually knew of the System's existence and even claimed there was another System in the world. Lin Fan had to make it talk.
Perhaps he could learn the method to repair the System from it...
However, he didn't really care about repairing it. After the System crashed, many restrictions had become ineffective; repairing it would actually be troublesome.
Swish!
The Void Knight shot up from the smoke, confronting Lin Fan at eye level, its vertical pupils locked onto him deeply.
"The System is the Universe Origin and a gift for those chosen by the Universe's will. The coexistence of dual Systems is a forbidden evil."
Before it finished speaking, it charged at Lin Fan again.
Lin Fan was prepared; his body turned into countless lightning sparks and re-condensed hundreds of meters away.
At the same time, several bolts of lightning crashed down, smashing the Void Knight into the ground once again.
Lin Fan secretly rejoiced; fortunately, he had lured it away from the city.
A battle of this level was enough to raze Baiyun City to the ground and cause mass casualties.
He looked at the Void Knight charging over again and couldn't help but feel a headache.
Although he could continuously suppress the opponent with lightning.
But the power of his Spells was insufficient to cause substantial damage.
He even used his strongest space-element Spell, [Existence Zeroing].
The urgent priority was to resolve the Void Rift still in the sky.
He told the mages to wait in place and went to investigate the Void Rift alone.
He already knew that a Void Demon was lurking deep within the Void Rift.
Stepping into the Void Rift, Lin Fan found himself in an empty, foggy space, yet the fog could be stepped on like solid ground.
He immediately searched for the Void Demon controlling the familiars attacking the outside world, locking onto the target in just a few seconds.
That Void Demon looked extremely similar to the familiars; perhaps the familiars were based on it in the first place.
A single medium-sized bat wing flapped on its back, and its feet hovered above the fog.
The Void Demon appearing before Lin Fan suddenly erupted with the aura of a First-Order Mage.
Lin Fan: "..."
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan was momentarily speechless, then immediately understood.
The familiars could copy the combat power of any mage they saw.
Since they were created by this Void Demon, the main body naturally possessed the same ability.
Lin Fan's Tier-measuring skill was still active, so it had copied Lin Fan's Tier 1 aura!
The Void Demon also noticed that the power copied from this human was extremely weak, but it didn't care.
In its eyes, Lin Fan was just a genuine First-Order Mage.
It immediately condensed several Water Blades in mid-air and attacked Lin Fan.
Lin Fan couldn't even be bothered to dodge, letting the Water Blades hit his black robe.
The Water Blades collided with the robe and burst into water droplets, causing not the slightest bit of damage.
The Void Demon sensed something was wrong and immediately summoned its familiars.
In less than three seconds, hundreds of familiars appeared in the fog, coordinating various elemental Spells and pouncing on Lin Fan together.
Lin Fan sighed softly, his eyes changing color behind the mask, and silver-white stars appeared behind him.
"Space Bullet."
He whispered.
A whistling sound rose, and invisible Space Bullets shot out from the Star Array above his head, heading straight for the Void Demon behind the familiars.
The Space Bullets bypassed all the familiars rushing toward Lin Fan.
They accurately pierced the Void Demon's skull, instantly shattering its head and killing it on the spot.
The Void Demon's blood splattered across the foggy space, and its body fell backward.
The familiars pouncing on Lin Fan suddenly froze in their tracks, then all burst into purple light particles and dissipated without a trace.
Only the headless corpse of the Void Demon remained on the spot.
[Ding! Mission complete, obtained 10 experience points!]
The notification for killing the Void Demon finally rang out; everything was finally over.
After the Void Demon died, the foggy space began to collapse.
The ground formed by the fog lost its solid texture, and the space contracted visibly to the naked eye.
Lin Fan didn't want to be trapped by the collapsing space, so he immediately put away the Void Demon's corpse and retreated.
A moment later.
He walked out of the Void Rift and landed on the top of a blood-stained, collapsed building... The bloodstains mostly came from fallen mages and familiars.
The mages waiting outside saw Mr. Chen appear from the Void Rift and all looked up at the sky.
They saw the Void Rift flickering and distorting like an unstable projection, then slowly dissipate.
The Void Rift had disappeared.
Mr. Chen had slain the monster deep within the Void Rift!
The mages who witnessed this scene erupted into cheers instantly, some even crying with joy.
"It's finally over."
Yun Wei looked at Mr. Chen's tall, straight back and whispered softly.
Standing beside her were Wei Yuan, Dean Longwei, and others.
"Thanks to Mr. Chen, this city has survived."
"This is the greatest victory since humanity began fighting against the Void Rifts."
Wei Yuan's tone was full of admiration as he looked at Lin Fan's figure in the distance.
"Yes, it's hard to believe; the entire battle only lasted a few hours."
"In the past, dealing with one Void Rift often took months and cost thousands of lives. Yet, we defended against two Void Rifts in a single day."
Dean Longwei sighed with emotion, a flash of nostalgia in his eyes.
Those days were too painful.
Although the surrounding mages didn't speak, they could feel the heaviness in the words, and their reverence for Mr. Chen climbed even higher.
But Lin Fan, completely unaware of what everyone was thinking, was caught in intense deliberation internally.
Before the Void Rift incident broke out, he had already caused quite a stir at the Arena.
Jiang Tianhai wanted to arrest him on charges of murder in public, and he had originally intended to take the opportunity to reveal Mr. Chen's identity.
But after experiencing the Void Rift and the Void Knight incident, Lin Fan was conflicted.
Should he still expose his identity?
Admittedly, revealing his identity could exempt him from murder punishment and allow him to enjoy many privileges under the name of Mr. Chen, but was the risk worth it?
First, he already knew that the Void Knight could hurt him.
The black robe couldn't block that thin sword; once hit, he would definitely be seriously injured.
He didn't know the upper limit of the Void Knight's strength.
Since there was more than one, who could guarantee there wasn't an existence stronger than the one today?
Second, regarding the other System holder.
The Void Knight said before leaving that the other party was also looking for him.
He didn't know if the news was true, nor did he know if the other party had already arrived on this planet to search.
If that was really the case, revealing Mr. Chen's identity right now was definitely not a wise move.
The other party was looking for Mr. Chen, not Lin Fan.
He could walk around in his original identity without worrying about sudden attacks.
Third, there was the Dark Alliance.
After seeing that they could actually summon Void Rifts, Lin Fan had a new understanding of their level of danger.
