Chapter 1065 Turning the Crisis Around
The blood-red shadows engulfed the array mage as he approached Lu Yu with a swagger.
“Hahaha! You’ve entered my Bloodsteel Wall, a cage from which there’s no escape! Prepare to die!” He roared triumphantly. From the bottom of his heart, he was confident that Lu Yu would die today.
“I’ll complete the boss’ quest to kill you and get the reward I’ve always dreamed
Countless blood-red blades materialized around Lu Yu, their tips gleaming with malevolent intent. The blades quivered, ready to shoot at a moment’s notice.
Lu Yu, however, met the threat with disdain. “Pitiful, you dare challenge me? You’re courting death.”
“I’m a 47th Tier mage. An invincible existence like myself will crush you effortlessly! You’ll soon be begging for mercy, but it will be too late. You will die by my hand!” The array mage cackled, relishing his anticipated victory.
Swoosh!
In a blink, the blades lunged toward Lu Yu.
Lu Yu faced the incoming blades and summoned his Fire Spirit Dragon.
A blazing fireball materializing in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he hurled the fireball, shattering the cage walls.
Boom!!
The Fire Spirit Dragon, bathed in flames, emerged in a majestic display of power.
“No need for idle chatter,” Lu Yu said coldly. “You’re going to be dead soon.” Panic seized the array mage as he witnessed the fiery dragon.
“A Fire Spirit Dragon? So, you command such a powerful creature? No wonder the boss warned me to take you seriously. It seems I must fight with my all!” Swoosh!
The mage retaliated, directing the blades toward the dragon instead of Lu Yu.
The dragon, with a powerful flap of its wings, unleashed a ferocious inferno, deflecting most of the blades.
However, some managed to pierce its scales, drawing a roar of pain from the mighty beast.
Roar!
The sight of the dragon’s roar instilled fear in the mage. He looked around, bewildered, realizing Lu Yu was missing from the cage. “Impossible!” he shrieked, disbelief etching his features.
The cage was intact, yet Lu Yu had vanished!
Did he turn invisible? A trick, perhaps? Can he be revealed with an attack?
He cautiously approached, his hand conjuring another blood-red blade. He hurled it at the cage, the blade embedding itself harmlessly in the wall.
Repeating this attempt several times yielded no results. The mage’s face paled, his bravado crumbling.
“Hey, what are you doing?” a voice called from behind.
“You!”
The array mage whirled around, his eyes widening in terror.
“Y-You! How did you… Impossible! The cage is intact! How could you escape from it?” He stammered with an incredulous expression.
“The cage, while sturdy, didn’t need me to break it for me to escape; there’re many more ways.” Lu Yu drawled.
“Now, cease your futile resistance. Your continued defiance will only lead to a more painful death.”
The mage’s bravado had completely evaporated, replaced by a sense of dread as he backed away from the approaching Lu Yu and the fire-breathing dragon.
“What… what do you want with me?”
“You sought to take my life. The answer is simple; I intend to return the favor.” “Fine, come at me! I will fight you to my last breath!”
The mage roared despite the tremor in his voice as he backed off continuously.
“Killing you now would be too easy. Cooperate, or face an eternity of suffering.”
“Cooperate? I have nothing to offer you! Do your worst! I’ll take my secrets to the grave!”
“Very well,” Lu Yu said, his voice taking on a dangerous edge. “Let the dissection begin. I can assure you, it will be a slow and agonizing process.”
“Come… come on! I can withstand just this bit of torture; this is nothing to me!”
“At the most, I’ll suicide now!”
Lu Yu scoffed. “You’d better give up. You won’t die unless I want you to die.”
“Fuck off!”
Just as the mage cursed, he lunged for a dagger hidden at his waist.
“Boss, I failed! If there’s another life, I’ll serve you again!” He cried out, plunging the blade into his stomach.
However, before the blood could fully drain from his body, the Eternal Divine Crown on Lu Yu’s head pulsed with an otherworldly light.
The wound on the mage’s abdomen instantly healed, and Lu Yu walked up to him to pull the dagger out, throwing it aside.
“What… what have you done to me?” He stammered, utterly bewildered. “Why am I not… why did I…”
“I already told you,” Lu Yu stated firmly, “you won’t die until I permit it. Until your purpose is fulfilled, your life remains in my control.”
“Now, tell me. Who is your master? What is his goal? What does he know about me? Where can I find him?”
“You’d better tell me, or eternal suffering awaits you!”
Lu Yu’s words struck a chord of terror in the array mage’s heart. Even suicide, which he had previously embraced, seemed preferable to an eternity of unimaginable suffering..
