215: Slow + Lightning

The assistant opposite, the 'Your Excellency' who claimed to be from the Abyss Domain, finally completely lost his patience.

Pity, curiosity, confusion—all emotions transformed into pure killing intent at this moment.

What he hated most were show-offs.

Especially show-offs who, even after being clearly told the disparity in strength between them, still didn't know their place.

In his opinion, Lin Yu's actions were no longer merely showing off; they were a provocation to him, and even to the entire Abyss Domain.

"Since you insist on seeking death, I shall grant your wish."

He stopped speaking nonsense.

An invisible wave of air suddenly exploded with him at the center!

Li Wen and the others nearby were sent sprawling by this airwave, tumbling awkwardly to the side, watching the two people in the arena with utter terror.

They couldn't even stand steadily!

Is this the true strength of a Visitor from the Abyss Domain?

The figure of 'Your Excellency' left an afterimage in place, and in the next instant, he appeared before Lin Yu.

Fast!

Extremely fast!

He didn't even use any weapon, merely extended a single finger and pointed it at Lin Yu's glabella.

This one finger seemed utterly unremarkable.

But in Lin Yao and Wang Qingxuan's perception, that finger seemed to drain all light and heat from the surroundings, condensing terrifying energy capable of piercing mountains.

This one finger was enough to instantly kill Lin Yu a thousand times over!

A morbid ecstasy had already appeared on Li Wen's face.

Die!

Just die quickly!

This damned fellow was finally going to pay the price for his arrogance!

However, just as that finger was about to touch Lin Yu's skin.

Lin Yu's movements were even faster than his.

Divine Skeleton Armament (Archaic)!

Eight Desolations Return to Origin (Archaic)!

Two invisible buffs instantly applied to himself.

There were no earth-shattering light effects, no terrifying energy fluctuations.

Everything happened silently.

Lin Yu's entire demeanor underwent a drastic change in an instant.

If he was an unremarkable rough stone just now.

Then now, he was an unpolished jade containing divine light, indestructible and unfathomable.

'Your Excellency's' finger paused for the first time.

Something's wrong!

Very wrong!

His Eye of Truth frantically warned him that this 'ant' with all attributes at 500, at this instant, gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

But his detection results clearly hadn't changed!

Still 500!

What exactly was going on?

There was no time to think; his attack could no longer be withdrawn!

And at the same moment, Lin Yu raised his hand holding the card.

His movements were not fast, even a little slow, as if he was performing some sacred ritual.

In the air, subtle electric arcs began to jump.

Crackling.

'Your Excellency's' movements suddenly stiffened.

This is... Lightning Spell?

A lowest-level basic skill that can be mastered at the apprentice stage?

He simply couldn't believe his eyes.

A novice with only 500 base attributes, after buffing himself with two auxiliary skills he couldn't understand, wanted to use an apprentice-level Lightning Spell to contend with him?

How absurd was this!

But then, he discovered something even more amiss.

How could the wind-up for this Lightning Spell be so condensed?

The arcs jumping in the air were no longer ordinary electric arcs, but strands of visible, golden lightning threads!

Golden proficiency!

This phrase instantly popped into 'Your Excellency's' mind.

He was somewhat surprised.

To train a basic Lightning Spell to golden proficiency? How much perseverance and time would that require?

This young man in front of him looked to be only around twenty years old.

Did he start casting Lightning Spells from birth?

Madman!

But, it was merely surprise.

In his view, it was meaningless.

No matter how high the skill proficiency, no matter how outrageous the damage bonus, it still depended on the base attributes.

An ant with all attributes at 500, even if holding a weapon with a ten thousand percent damage bonus, how much damage could it deal?

Just tickling?

The huge information asymmetry led him to make the most fatal misjudgment.

He didn't even bother to defend.

He wanted to crush all the illusions of this show-off in the most direct and brutal way!

He wanted to make this native understand just how vast the insurmountable chasm between the Abyss Domain and Blue Star truly was!

"It's over."

He coldly uttered three words, and the power in his finger surged again!

And at this very instant.

The card in Lin Yu's hand was finally completely activated.

Lightning Spell (Golden) × Ghost Card × Multiplication Card × [...]

One million times!

"Snap!"

A crisp snap of fingers.

That finger, about to touch Lin Yu's glabella, abruptly stopped.

"Click."

A faint sound, almost imperceptible.

Slow Spell and Lightning Spell are truly good friends!

That Visitor from the Abyss Domain, the assistant who called himself 'Your Excellency', his finger was less than one centimeter away from Lin Yu's glabella.

He could clearly feel the terrifying energy emanating from that finger, capable of piercing through anything.

But, that was all.

His finger could no longer advance a single millimeter.

That slender finger, along with his entire body, was frozen in mid-air, maintaining that forward-rushing posture, unable to move.

His mind was still working.

His face still bore the indifference and arrogance from when he launched his attack.

But his body no longer belonged to him.

What happened?

Lightning Spell?

That apprentice-level, trash-like skill?

No.

That's not right.

Countless thoughts flashed wildly through his mind, trying to decipher this incredible scene.

This wasn't Lightning Spell.

Or rather, this was no longer the Lightning Spell he knew.

There was no great light, no deafening thunder.

There wasn't even the slightest energy leakage.

Only pure silence.

A golden electric arc, so subtle it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, shot from Lin Yu's fingertip and silently struck him.

Then, everything ended.

His body, from the cellular level, was completely paralyzed, decomposed, and reconstructed.

His proud, powerful energy system from the Abyss Domain was as fragile as a thin piece of paper before this golden electric arc.

Unable to offer even a hint of resistance.

He could even feel his life force being rapidly 'evaporated' by this strange current in an incomprehensible way.

What kind of power is this?

This native... this ant with all attributes at only 500... who exactly is he?!

'Your Excellency's' mind plunged into unprecedented chaos and fear.

However, this scene appeared differently in the eyes of others.

Lin Yao and Wang Qingxuan only saw Lin Yu snap his fingers.

Then, that Visitor from the Abyss Domain, who had such an imposing aura as if a god had descended, simply froze in place.
