Chapter 68: A Matter of Life and Death
The clock rewinds ten minutes.
At that moment, Morningstar had already assessed the strength of the protective shield. She turned to Su Yu and said:
"Planet Crek, based on my judgment, if we both go all out, we can break through the shield."
"That's great!" Su Yu replied, his spirits lifted.
"However, there are two things I need to warn you about," Morningstar said, stepping onto Su Yu's shoulder.
"First, there's a divine-level powerhouse from the Renkter Alliance—Stim. He lives on a mountain 40 kilometers west of Trener City, which is about 56 kilometers from here.
A divine-level powerhouse can fly at about 2,000 meters per second, so he can reach us in half a minute. Therefore,, we must destroy the shield and escape within that time."
Su Yu nodded solemnly. "I understand."
"Secondly," Morningstar continued, "when we break the shield, the surrounding Skrull high-ranking warriors will definitely attack us. We need to have a plan to deal with them."
"Don't worry about that; I'll handle them!" Su Yu said confidently.
Over the next few minutes, Su Yu and Morningstar shared their ultimate skills and discussed a reliable action plan.
With the plan in place, they immediately began their operation.
Morningstar transformed into her ultimate form, the Star Core Dragon, a massive dragon with a wingspan of over 30 meters, dominating the sky.
Next, she used the Star Rainbow Focus skill.
Star Rainbow Focus: Creates a light spot that attaches to the target, absorbing and storing all spell damage from you and your teammates. After 15 seconds, the light spot explodes, dealing double the absorbed damage to the target. Casting time: 1 second, cooldown: 2 minutes.
This skill is generally not very useful in regular combat because it requires a one-second casting time, which can be fatal in battles of equal rank.
Additionally, during the 15 seconds after hitting the target, you cannot deal any damage, allowing the opponent to either launch a fierce attack or use an invincible skill like Ice Barrier to survive, rendering the skill ineffective.
Thus, Morningstar had rarely used this skill before.
However, for something like a protective shield, this skill was incredibly useful!
The shield was static and couldn't move or use defensive skills, so it would take the full double damage!
After attaching the light spot to the shield, Morningstar immediately activated all her burst skills, unleashing a barrage of high-damage single-target spells.
Su Yu first drank the Master-Class Elemental Ascension Potion, activated the Weaver's Heart to transform into an adult blue dragon, and then activated the Storm Eye buff. An endless stream of spells poured onto the shield.
As a blue dragon, his casting time was virtually non-existent, and high-level spells rained down like machine-gun fire.
Absolute Zero (Prohibition Spell): Creates an ice field that significantly increases ice damage dealt by allies and drastically reduces ice resistance of enemies within the field.
Abyssal Cold (Prohibition Spell): A large-scale ice area-of-effect spell.
After casting these two prohibition spells, the temperature around Su Yu soared to 105°C.
Recalling the techniques from the book Ice and Fire, Ultimate Enjoyment, he switched to fire spells.
A massive, 80-meter-wide hexagram of flames appeared above his head, and within it, a phoenix made of fire gradually took shape.
"Clang!"
The fire phoenix let out a loud, piercing cry and shot toward the shield like an arrow released from a bow.
Boom!
The Fire Phoenix collided with the protective shield, sending endless flames soaring into the sky.
The light spot absorbed the powerful spells, instantly expanding from the size of a ping-pong table to that of a tennis court, emitting a blinding white light.
Near the shield, there were several fifth and sixth-stage Skrull warriors.
These Skrull warriors were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the two massive figures!
"My gods! What is that?"
A Skrull warrior stared in disbelief at the towering figures of Su Yu and Morning Star in the sky.
"Could it be a new type of mutated monster?" another Skrull warrior speculated.
"Impossible! How could a mutated monster suddenly grow so large?"
"Then what do you think it is?"
"Stop arguing, they're attacking the shield!"
The Skrull warriors present noticed that Su Yu and Morning Star were pouring spells into the shield.
Although the shield still appeared sturdy, they all knew the terrifying consequences if it were to be breached.
Without hesitation, the fifth-stage and above Skrull warriors took to the sky, launching attacks on Su Yu and Morning Star.
The high-ranking warriors who had been circling above the slums also noticed the commotion and quickly rushed over.
Su Yu had been waiting for these high-ranking warriors.
"Behold the sword!"
The rusted Village's Best Sword appeared at his side, and he swung it at the approaching Skrull warriors.
The blade detached from the hilt, and within a few dozen meters, the Skrull warriors fell into a state of "stunned," standing motionless in the sky.
Taking advantage of their stunned state, Su Yu unleashed two skills from his accessories: Meteor Shower and Moon Goddess Descent.
A black spatial rift tore open in the sky, and numerous three- to four-meter-wide micro-meteors flew out, striking the most densely packed area of Skrull warriors.
Many Skrull warriors were directly knocked down by the meteors, their fates uncertain.
At the same time, the "Moon Goddess" with her black and white wings was summoned, brandishing a silver-white lance as she charged fearlessly into the Skrull ranks.
The lance blade carried a dense chaotic energy, and each thrust easily eliminated a fifth-stage Skrull warrior.
After casting the two spells, Su Yu swung the Village's Best Sword again, stunning the Skrull warriors once more, allowing the Moon Goddess and the meteor shower to claim more lives.
But the good times didn't last long.
Just 13 seconds after his transformation, a brilliant red dot appeared in the western sky.
Upon closer inspection, eighth-stage Skrull warrior Stym was only 20 kilometers away, much faster than expected!
Without waiting for Morning Star's warning, Su Yu immediately activated the Hearthstone and said to Morning Star, "Quick, protect me!"
"Understood!" Morning Star stopped attacking the shield and transformed into a streak of starlight, appearing in front of Su Yu and casting Astral Barrier to shield him from all damage.
But even though Stym was still 20 kilometers away, his attack had already arrived!
The farthest-reaching spell in his arsenal was Mind Spike, and from 20 kilometers away, he cast Mind Spike directly at Su Yu.
Mind Spike was much faster than most spells, instantly crossing the distance and about to strike Su Yu, likely hitting him before the Hearthstone activation completed!
At this critical moment, Morning Star, quick on the draw, swiftly pulled out a round, adorable object and threw it in front of Su Yu.
