Chapter 411-1: Exploration Abyss Report, Abyss Revival (1)
A Star Spirit Envoy’s ultimate spell only consumed five percent of the formation’s energy. No matter how long a mage’s mana bar was, it was impossible to keep chaining big moves.
Unless he used the Star Sea Source Elixir he had just obtained, activating temporary no-cost spellcasting.
Lin Xun naturally knew what the hellish game was scheming. He let out a cold laugh and directly switched Shells.
[You Possess the Shell of Desire Primordial Fire Child of Evil!]
The Child of Evil had an endless stamina bar. Even if he hacked here until the end of time, he would not need to worry about collapsing from fatigue.
He activated the berserk state of Flesh Boil and began violently outputting damage against the defensive magic formation.
[You swing the Scarlet King’s Sword. A surge of crimson light blooms as you continuously launch attacks at the defensive magic formation…]
[…]
The Child of Evil’s damage output was extremely powerful, and the formation’s reserve energy visibly began to drop.
[Current remaining reserve energy of the Star Annihilation Magic Formation: 89/100][…]
[Current remaining reserve energy of the Star Annihilation Magic Formation: 71/100]
[…]
[Current remaining reserve energy of the Star Annihilation Magic Formation: 50/100]
[As you keep cleaving with your power, the glow manifested by the defensive magic formation shifts from solid to illusory, as if it is about to shatter and break.]
[Seeing this scene, you understand that the defensive magic formation has reached the critical threshold of reserve energy it can draw. At most, it can withstand one more attack before it collapses…]
[Do you want to continue attacking?]
After a brief thought, Lin Xun decided to use the Star Annihilation Ring to attack the formation and see if he could drain the remaining reserve energy in a single strike.
From the prior text, he already knew the Starrealm Envoy’s authority was higher than the Star Spirit Envoy’s. Even if the Starrealm Envoy returned to the Polar Star Society branch, Lin Xun still could not use the ring to kill the Starrealm Envoy.
Instead, if the Star Annihilation Magic Formation still retained stored energy, the Starrealm Envoy could use the formation to kill him.
The defensive formation in front of him could mobilize reserve energy, and perhaps other facilities could also draw on that reserve energy.
In that case, better to fight poison with poison and burn all the remaining energy to nothing.
[You used the Star Annihilation Ring (Special Equipment)!]
[You choose to use your current maximum authority, mobilizing 30% of the Star Annihilation Magic Formations reserve energy to launch an attack at the target!]
[Current remaining reserve energy of the Star Annihilation Magic Formation: 20/100]
[The ring on your finger flashes. Endless starlight surges out from the void, and in the blink of an eye it condenses into a thick beam that blasts toward the defensive magic formation!]
[With a thunderous boom, the entire branch building shakes.]
[The defensive magic formation instantly draws out a massive amount of reserve energy, yet it still cannot withstand the beam’s destructive attack. In the end it splinters apart, turning into countless points of light that scatter and vanish…]
[Please note! The current reserve energy of the Star Annihilation Magic Formation has been completely depleted!]
[The ring on your finger dims, seeming to temporarily lose its effect.]
[You understand that unless you add a large amount of materials to the formation and restore its charge, the Star Annihilation Magic Formation will be unable to activate again.]
[Because the defensive magic formation has disappeared, you no longer feel blocked.]
[You step forward, smoothly pass through the corridor, and arrive at the door of the Starrealm Envoys office.]
[Although the door is locked, the defensive magic formation does not appear again to block your advance.]
[You do not have the relevant key. Do you want to break the lock and force your way in?]
[You lift your leg and kick. The entire door, along with its frame, flies into the room.]
[You are about to step into the office when a light flashes from above the doorway inside. On closer look, it is an unknown refined copper device firing a beam at you.]
[You seem to have triggered some kind of trap. You desperately dodge, but you fail to avoid the beam’s surprise strike.]
[The searing ray burns through your skin, pierces into your flesh, about to run you through…]
[Yet the refined copper device flickers twice, as if its energy is exhausted. The beam’s illumination becomes intermittent, then it goes out and vanishes…]
[The clever you depleted the Star Annihilation Magic Formation’s reserve energy beforehand, leaving the trap device without any follow-up energy supply, allowing you to narrowly escape a calamity.]
“…So there really are other trap devices.”
With the Starrealm Envoy’s office defended so tightly, there had to be something of tremendous value hidden inside.
[You do not enter the office to search right away. Instead, you leap up and use brute force to tear down the concealed refined copper device above the doorway.]
[You obtained Thermal Starlight Trap Device (Item)!]
[Thermal Starlight Trap Device (Item): A magic formation with the spell Thermal Starlight is engraved within the device. When driven through the trap device, it can be triggered under preset conditions to release Thermal Starlight at enemies.]
[Remaining energy in the current trap device: 0/100]
Lin Xun had previously obtained a refined copper trap device that contained Time Prison, and now he had gained another trap device that could release a spell.
“One trap device appearing in this chapter could still be called a coincidence, but two…”
“In the previous chapter, there was a plot character involved in manufacturing refined copper dolls. From these two trap devices, it’s highly likely that this chapter contains a plot character specializing in manufacturing refined copper traps.”
After thinking a bit, Lin Xun put away the trap device.
[You enter the office. The Star Spirit Envoy’s office is not small, and the furnishings are extremely luxurious.]
[You know something precious must be hidden here, but there might also be traps like the ones before…]
[You begin searching carefully…]
[…]
[You find many expensive books in the bookcase.]
[You obtained Book Containing Abundant Knowledge x6]
[Searching…]
[You find an ancient scroll inside a refined copper box on the desk.]
[You obtained Ancient Scroll Recording Star Magic (Legendary+ grade Item)!]
[Searching…]
[You can no longer find any valuable items or props.]
Lin Xun frowned. The harvest from the Starrealm Envoy’s office was not much different from the other Star Spirit Envoys’ offices, only with a higher-quality skill scroll.
This clearly did not match the Starrealm Envoy’s status. And for just this one skill scroll, did it really require a defensive magic formation and a trap counterattack setup to guard it?
He refused to give up and continued searching, but the game stubbornly kept displaying: ‘You can no longer find any valuable items or props.’
“There must be some kind of treasure hidden here. Hellish game, you think you can stop me like this?”
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. With a ruthless decision, he directly drove the Supreme Authority – Flesh Authority, controlling the Shell to start tearing the place apart.
[You shoulder the Scarlet King’s Sword and stride straight to the desk, then swing one sword strike and shatter the desk. Wood chips and fragments fly everywhere…]
[You shake your head. You do not find anything suspicious.]
[You move to the bookcase against the wall and deliver another heavy, forceful slash, splitting the bookcase apart and destroying the wall behind it as well.]
[The secret room you imagined does not appear.]
[You look around. Your gaze sweeps across the room, and finally stops on the sofa in the corner of the office.]
[You notice that there seem to be marks on the floor beside the sofa, as if left by pushing and friction.]
[You stride to the sofa and try to push it along the marks.]
[As the sofa moves, you hear a sound from above. You look up and see a square opening drop down from the ceiling, and a rope ladder also falls with the hidden passage opening.]
[Do you want to climb the rope ladder and enter the opening?]
“Heh. Nice try. In the end, you still didn’t escape my grasp.”
Lin Xun smiled and pressed the ‘Yes’ option.
[You walk toward the rope ladder, preparing to climb up…]
[As your hand grabs a rung and you pull yourself upward, you feel the entire rope ladder get yanked down a short section.]
[At the same time, a sound comes from deep within the square opening above, and a beam of light shines down.]
[You have triggered a teleportation trap…]
[Teleporting…]
