Chapter 115 Sending Him to Heaven
Rolin took out several specially made, one-time-use crystal bombs from his dimensional bag, each engraved with runes for energy convergence and chain detonation.
This thing was originally used to destroy solid fortifications or energy nodes. It can be used to trigger natural energy vents, which may be more effective but also more uncontrollable.
"I will try to place the nozzle at the edge where the energy is relatively calm and set a delayed detonation."
"Operate immediately upon seeing my retreat signal."
Flame Shield checked his tower shield and several scrolls of large-area fire spells.
Nightingale then inspected the poisoned dagger, crossbow bolts, and several smoke and flashbang grenades.
With everything ready, the three split up again.
Using the crystal hills as cover, Rolin circled around to the energy vent area on the other side of the basin.
The closer you get, the hotter the air becomes, with the raging fire elemental energy cutting through the protective suit like countless tiny blades.
He had to slightly activate the [Starflow Aquatic Field] and adjust its energy filtering parameters to focus on defending against high temperatures and energy erosion in order to barely hold on.
We finally reached the edge of the nozzle area.
The ground here is riddled with cracks, and dark red, scorching gas hisses and swells, distorting the air.
Rolin carefully selected the edge of a crack where the eruption was relatively stable but the energy fluctuations were unusually active. He quickly arranged three crystal bombs in a triangle and set them to detonate after a delay of several thousand seconds upon receiving a trigger signal of a specific energy frequency.
This signal will be provided by Flame Shield casting a Fire Ring spell at a specific frequency from the outside.
After making the arrangements, Luo Lin quickly withdrew back to the designated observation point.
A ready signal is sent through the communication crystal.
Moments later, on the other side of the basin, outside the Ash Ring stronghold, a blinding light suddenly blazed up!
Flame Shield's figure appeared behind the crystal pile in the distance. He activated a large-area fire wave spell scroll, and scorching flames surged towards the stronghold's shield like a tide. At the same time, he raised his tower shield high, condensing a huge fire phantom and letting out a provocative roar!
The Ash Ring members inside the base were immediately alerted.
An alarm sounded, the protective shield shone brightly, and several figures appeared behind the outer fortifications, their magical light beginning to shoot towards the fire shield!
It's now!
Roland immediately sent a trigger signal to the prepared bombs!
In the energy nozzle area, the three crystal blasts received a specific frequency, and the runes inside instantly lit up!
They began to frantically absorb the raging fire elemental energy from their surroundings!
In just three seconds, three small, visible energy vortexes formed around the explosion!
The tenth second —
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It wasn't the sound of the explosion itself, but the deafening roar of the violent energy from deep within the earth's veins, which had been extremely compressed and disturbed by the explosion, being instantly detonated!
Three thick pillars of fire, mixed with dark red magma, deadly poison gas, and pure destructive energy, shot into the sky from the crack!
The shockwave from the explosion spread in a ring, shattering the surrounding scorched earth and crystals. Hot debris and streams of energy rained down on the Ash Ring stronghold!
The burst of natural energy from the vent is far more powerful than ordinary magic!
The energy shield of the Ash Ring stronghold fluctuated violently, with countless ripples spreading across its surface, and the light dimmed at a visible speed!
The outer fortifications and two energy towers were directly destroyed by the shockwave. Debris and flames engulfed part of the area, and chaos reigned inside the stronghold, with screams and roars filling the air.
"Let's do it!"
The nightingale's voice rang out during the message.
Like a true nightingale, she stealthily crept from the shadows toward the outpost's flank amidst the smoke and chaos of the explosion.
Rolin immediately rushed out from the observation point, approaching the stronghold while using his Star Force Rays to precisely target the Ash Ring members who were trying to stabilize the shield or organize a counterattack amidst the chaos.
Taking advantage of the situation, Flame Shield intensified its feint attacks, continuously hurling fireballs and walls of fire at the shield to further deplete its energy.
Nightingale successfully breached the weakest point of the shield and infiltrated the base.
Her brief and urgent report came through the intercom: "Command tent located—breaking the blockade—items with strong energy reactions present—"
Rolin and Flame Shield held off the remaining defenders on the outer perimeter.
The enemy's resistance was tenacious. After all, they were all selected elites, and they quickly recovered from the initial chaos and began to fight back in an organized manner.
A leader resembling a second-circle wizard appeared inside the protective barrier, brandishing his staff and unleashing a barrage of condensed dark red fire spears at Flame Shield and Rolin, their power astonishing.
The battle reached a stalemate.
Rolin constantly changed positions, using precise shooting and the flexibility and environmental adaptability brought by the [Starflow Aquatic Field] to maneuver against the enemy.
Flame Shield, on the other hand, is like a rock, using its tower shield and fire shield to withstand most attacks, buying time for Nightingale.
A few minutes later, Nightingale's voice rang out again: "Success! We've obtained an encrypted energy core and some files! We're evacuating!"
"Retreat!" Flame Shield immediately ordered.
Rolin and Flame Shield began fighting their way back, moving towards their planned retreat route.
Nightingale's figure flashed out from the side and rear of the stronghold, holding a metal cube that emitted a dark red light and a leather bag in her hand. She had several scorch marks on her body, but her movements were still swift.
Enraged by this, the wizard leader of the Ash Ring led the remaining men out of the protective barrier and gave chase.
The three met up and ran wildly into the depths of the crystal hills without looking back.
Behind them, magical light continued to fall, blasting deep craters into the scorched earth.
After running for some distance, just as he was about to enter the complex crystalline hills again, Roland suddenly had a thought and released an energy shock mixed with star power and a trace of the chaotic frequency of the Scorching Flame Realm recorded by the Echo Unit towards the direction of the pursuers who were hot on his heels.
The impact wasn't particularly powerful, but the chaotic fluctuations it contained, somewhat similar to the origin of this world, seemed to interfere with some of the pursuers' spells that relied on environmental perception or energy locking, causing their attacks to deviate and slow down for a moment.
Taking advantage of this brief opening, the three of them suddenly turned into a dense crystal maze. With the help of the complex terrain and several simple misleading traps set up by Nightingale, they finally managed to shake off their pursuers temporarily.
Only after confirming that it was safe did the three stop and catch their breath against a huge black crystal pillar.
"Well done."
Flame Shield put away his tower shield, a smile on his face. Although his protective suit was torn in several places, his eyes were bright.
Nightingale handed the metal cube and leather bag to Flame Shield for inspection.
"The energy core is heavily encrypted and requires professional cracking."
"The documents contain some terrain sketches of this fragmented world and markings of the areas they have explored, as well as—a list of supplies that mentions Molten Core Extract and Hellfire Crystals, so it seems they are collecting specific resources."
While calming his breathing, Luo Lin sorted out the data records from the battle and escape.
This practical experience gave him a deeper understanding of the application of [Myriad Stars] in extreme environments, as well as the ability of the echo unit to sense and simulate otherworldly energy.
"We destroyed one of their outposts, obtained intelligence, and the initial mission is complete."
"That's what Flame Shield concluded."
"But it's no longer safe here. The Ash Ring will definitely intensify its search and retaliation."
"We need to relocate, find a new hiding place, and at the same time try to crack this energy core to see what other information is inside."
"In addition, our own main mission of searching for the remnants of the star core or related clues also needs to continue."
Rowling reminded him.
According to the captured topographical sketch, among the resource points marked in the Ash Ring, there is one located on the edge of the Burning Mountains in the northwest, marked with a high-energy reaction, which is suspected to be a mineral vein and may be worth exploring.
After resting for a while, the injuries were treated, and the body was replenished with water and energy.
The three decided to move northwest, exploring as they went, looking for a suitable temporary campsite.
