Chapter 93: Jaina and Sylvanas
Chapter 93: Jaina and Sylvanas
Jaina, the commander of the magic corps in the Rhyne Empire, is a formidable mage who has reached the peak of the Sixth Tier, specializing in ice, fire, arcane, and spatial magic.
With a wave of her hand, a massive three-masted warship, the Sovereign of the Seas, emerged from a secondary dimension. The ship's hull was encrusted with ice crystals, and 42 Arcane Cannons were mounted on its deck, each cannon's muzzle glowing with a bright, purple arcane light.
In the last battle against the Golden Rose army, Jaina summoned this arcane warship, unleashing a barrage of Arcane Shells that decimated the enemy forces, leading to their complete annihilation.
This time, she planned to use the same strategy to break through the enemy lines and support her own troops below.
However, just as she was halfway through the summoning spell—
"Roar!"
A loud dragon roar echoed through the air.
A fully grown Blue Dragon, with a wingspan of over 40 meters, suddenly appeared in the sky. Its elegant form glided gracefully, its blue scales shimmering in the sunlight. It was none other than Su Yu in his dragon form!
"Oh no!" Jaina's heart sank.
She was only halfway through her incantation and couldn't stop now. Moreover, this Blue Dragon was clearly targeting her!
"Roar!" Su Yu, in his Blue Dragon form, let out another roar.
Leveraging the Blue Dragon's abilities—quick casting, powerful spells, and the capability to cast multiple spells simultaneously—Su Yu unleashed a barrage of spells: Spell Counters, Spatial Constraints, and Spatial Disruptions.
Additionally, Su Yu secretly used Sylvanas' Soul Fragment and the Soul Stealer Wand gifted by Anduin to cast an enhanced version of a priest's mind attack spell—Mind Blast.
Although Jaina was four levels higher than Su Yu, the racial advantages of the dragon lineage had almost negated the level gap.
The Mind Blast struck Jaina's mind directly, and combined with the overwhelming barrage of interference spells, she couldn't hold on any longer.
Crack!
The portal Jaina was using to summon the Sovereign of the Seas shattered into pieces.
She herself spat out a mouthful of blood, struggling to withstand the massive spell backlash as she retreated to the ship behind her.
Seeing Jaina flee, Su Yu didn't pursue her.
At their level, killing an opponent of equal strength was extremely difficult. Even in a decisive battle, it would take days to determine a winner. If one party wanted to escape, the other couldn't stop them.
Since he couldn't kill her, Su Yu decided to make a big impact and then withdraw.
After repelling Jaina, Su Yu flapped his wings and dove down toward the Rhyne Empire's main forces.
Phoenix's Arrival, Abyss of Cold, and Falling Stars—one after another, these large-scale spells rained down on the most densely packed areas of the enemy forces.
At the same time, he used Moon Goddess's Descent to summon a Moon Goddess Phantom and the Lighthouse Frost Set to summon the Titan Lighthouse, Kong, sending both summoned entities to charge into the crowd and wreak havoc.
The Rhyne Empire's main forces were caught off guard by this sudden attack.
Other high-tier mages usually adhered to a code of honor and wouldn't attack the lower-tier main forces, typically only targeting their peers.
However, Su Yu had no such scruples and focused on the Rhyne Empire's elite troops.
In this wave of attacks, the once-high-spirited Rhyne Empire elite forces were completely scattered, with over a thousand soldiers falling victim to Su Yu's spells.
Su Yu's game log was rapidly updating:
- "You have successfully defeated a Tier 2 Lien Elite Warrior, gaining +10 War Merit."
- "You have successfully defeated a Tier 3 Lien Elite Warrior, gaining +100 War Merit."
- "You have successfully defeated a Tier 2 Lien Cult Priest, gaining +10 War Merit."
Before long, he had accumulated 22,000 War Merit.
The Lien elite forces were thrown into chaos by Su Yu's assault and fled in a panic.
Feeling a surge of energy from his newly earned War Merit, Su Yu prepared to pursue them. Although he had nearly exhausted his large-scale spells, the smaller ones would still be effective in this urban combat environment. Continuous use of these spells could still deal significant damage to the enemy.
Su Yu flapped his wings and dove toward the Lien army, launching another attack.
But at that moment, a dark, mist-covered arrow locked onto him from a great distance.
Whoosh!
The dark, mist-covered arrow transformed into a black light, seemingly traversing space to appear beside Su Yu.
Thud!
The black light struck Su Yu's right dragon wing, piercing deep into his flesh.
Su Yu felt an excruciating pain, and his right side immediately went numb. His body, like a kite with its string cut, plummeted toward the ground.
He quickly checked his status bar.
His health had dropped to 67%, and that single arrow had taken away a third of his health! It was important to note that Su Yu, after absorbing the World Tree's Heart, had gained the Leader template. His transformation into a Blue Dragon also granted him a substantial health boost. Yet, this arrow had managed to take away a third of his health!
And that was not all. The arrow, shrouded in dark mist, was clearly a curse-based attack. After being hit, Su Yu was immediately afflicted with over a dozen negative statuses.
Bleeding, Cursed, Paralyzed, Poisoned, Wound Infection, Worsened Injuries...
These were all high-level negative statuses, and even a dragon's constitution couldn't resist them. As a result, Su Yu lost control of his dragon form and crashed heavily onto the street below.
"Damn, that arrow dealt too much damage! Could it be her?" Su Yu winced in pain, a shadow of a woman crossing his mind.
A Tier 6 Holy Domain expert from the Lien Empire would not be capable of causing such significant damage. Only a Tier 7 Legendary could do so.
And among the Lien Legendaries, the only one who used a bow was the legendary "Queen of the Banshees" — Sylvanas.
Just as Su Yu thought this, a female undead clad in red leather armor and a red cloak flew toward him from the distant sky.
This female undead had pale, almost gray skin and a pair of crimson eyes. Dark mist billowed from her back as she looked at Su Yu with a mocking smile.
"Hm, isn't this the 'Bane of Interdimensional Adventurers'? It's been a while since I've heard from you."
"Are you... Sylvanas?" Su Yu panted, enduring the pain while looking up at the "Queen of the Banshees" in the sky.
"Yes, it's me." Sylvanas, holding her longbow, slowly approached him. "I didn't expect a traveler from another world to know my name. But it doesn't matter. Come, let me see what treasures your soul holds."
Sylvanas extended her right hand, and a cloud of dark mist swept toward Su Yu's head.
