Chapter 396: Chapter 334: He’s Spinning

He clutched the Source Energy Crystal Stone tightly in his palm, establishing a stable channel to his sea of consciousness.

The Magic Power stored within surged into his body like a river, replenishing the void in his sea of consciousness.

During this process, Zelir simply closed his eyes, lest he see something he shouldn’t.

Beside him, Valles didn’t dare to waste any time.

The moment his petrification was lifted, he immediately drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and infused it with Fighting Qi, standing guard over Zelir.

Although he still couldn’t look up and survey his surroundings, his gaze was locked on the ground at his feet.

His fingers on the half-drawn bowstring trembled slightly from tension.

But at the slightest disturbance nearby, Valles would instantly shut his eyes and unleash a Thunder Arrow.

Zelir’s Magic Power recovery could not, under any circumstances, be interrupted!

Zelir’s Dispel Skill was the absolute key to fighting Medusa!

The memory of meeting Medusa’s gaze in the surface of a Mirror Stone surfaced in his mind, and Valles shuddered violently.

He would never forget the feeling of that moment.

Medusa’s pupils were like molten gold, flowing slowly.

The instant he met her eyes, Valles felt all the color drain from the world.

The sky, the earth, everything he saw turned a deathly, monotonous gray.

All sound faded away, all sensation vanished, and even the flow of time itself seemed to stretch infinitely and freeze.

In that instant, Valles even forgot who he was. His thoughts solidified, as if he had truly turned to stone.

Only a deathly, cold stiffness spread rapidly from the soles of his feet.

"Everyone, listen up!"

Zelir shouted with his eyes still closed, all while restoring his Magic Power.

"Don’t worry about where Medusa is! Smash all the Mirror Stones around us first!"

’This Demon is really cunning...’

’It’s using the complex reflections of the Mirror Stone surfaces to restrict our movements and create a perfect hunting ground for itself.’

’There’s no advantage in getting bogged down here. We have to destroy them as quickly as possible!’

At Zelir’s command, the team members immediately unleashed their abilities.

A job like demolition, of course, had to be left to the classes with the most destructive power.

The Ranger and the Mage!

Zelir immediately cast Water of Cutting.

He didn’t bother to aim. After telling Valles beside him to get down, he went straight into rampage mode!

The highly compressed Water Blades were incredibly powerful. If used to cut a person, they would slice them cleanly in two.

They could even slice through giant boulders with ease!

With a few SWISHES, the transparent Water Blades, as thin as a cicada’s wings, struck viciously at the stone pillars!

The material of the pillars couldn’t withstand such sharp cuts at all and were almost instantly sliced in half.

The upper halves of the pillars toppled, smashing onto the ground and sending a shower of stone fragments everywhere.

The Mirror Stones embedded in the pillars’ surfaces were also destroyed, shattered and buried by the impact.

Then came the indiscriminate bombardment of Arcane Missiles.

One Rhombus Missile after another materialized and swept out, blasting the areas most densely packed with Mirror Stones!

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Explosions echoed one after another!

The blast from each Arcane Missile inevitably tore a large swath of Mirror Stones to shreds.

Not to be outdone, Valles also joined the demolition effort.

Valles fired a continuous volley of Thunder Arrows. He cautiously cracked his eyes open just a slit, specifically aiming to blast the larger Mirror Stones.

Even Hill brought out a trick of her own.

No one had expected that she would have something as dangerous as a bomb hidden under her robe.

It was a black sphere, about the size of a fist. After she infused it with Fighting Qi, it seemed to disrupt some kind of internal balancing mechanism.

The black sphere immediately became unstable, and Hill quickly threw it toward a nearby spot with Mirror Stones.

With a BANG, the black sphere blasted a crater a meter in diameter—its power was quite considerable!

As the three continued their wild bombardment, the Medusa hiding in the shadows certainly wasn’t going to just sit and watch.

Many of the Mirror Stones reflecting the surroundings had been destroyed, but some still remained.

Gray bravely lifted his gaze slightly, only to see a horrifying scene.

At the edge of his vision, within the shadows formed by the shattered Mirror Stones and toppled pillars, slimy, twisting figures began to appear one after another!

They were venomous snakes summoned by Medusa!

Their size was far beyond that of ordinary vipers; each one was three to four meters long.

At their thickest point, their bodies were even wider than a person’s thigh.

Their bodies were covered in dazzling scales. On their triangular heads, a pair of cold, bloodthirsty vertical pupils were already locked onto the team members.

And there were more than a dozen of them!

The venomous snakes were closing in on Zelir and Valles.

Moreover, on the surface of a nearby Mirror Stone that had yet to be destroyed, Gray saw a figure flash by.

Without a doubt, it was Medusa!

She was still prowling nearby, looking for an opportunity!

"This isn’t good, Marcus..."

Gray asked Marcus in a low voice, "What do we do now?"

"We have to cover Zelir! We can’t let those snakes get to them!" Marcus said urgently.

"But... but how do we protect them?" Gray felt the situation was getting trickier and trickier.

The threat from the Mirror Stone surfaces wasn’t completely gone. One careless glance and Medusa would petrify them.

Besides, killing agile creatures like these venomous snakes required precision, which was difficult to achieve without opening one’s eyes.
