Chapter 612 Conered
Lu Yu stood firm on the spot, his gaze fixed ahead.
Their likelihood of escaping was low and nearly impossible based on the current situation.
The only thing they could do was stop the spreading sea of fire. They could leave this place alive if they could stop the first wave of the sea of fire from spreading!
Thus, the only way he could stop the invasion of the Undead Fire was to use the power of the light element.
Only Lu Yu and Su Qing possessed that among the six people here.
Su Qing approached Lu Yu, raised her hands, and two light balls appeared.
"I'll accompany you. We'll fight this firestorm together!" Su Qing's lovely eyes met Lu Yu's with determination.
"All right, we'll make it through!"
Lu Yu turned around to face the sea of fire. He crossed his hands and raised them.
Lu Yu's pair of Light Dragon Claws began to release light elemental energy, forming a light shield in front of him.
The massive round shield covered Xu Yuan and the others behind it, allowing them to escape the sea of fire.
Xu Yuan and the others rushed up behind Lu Yu, hiding behind the light shield.
Whomp!
The green sea of fire flooded in, crashing down like a firewall more than ten meters tall. It consumed anything in its path.
It was like being in another world in the middle of the fire. It was dark and silent, with only ghostly flames dancing.
Shush!
In an instant, the fire engulfed Lu Yu and the others. The Undead Fire made a sizzling sound when it hit Lu Yu's light shield, eroding it and making Lu Yu constantly inject light elemental energy to keep it intact.
Xu Yuan and the others, who were hiding in the back, were also nervously sweating.
The sea of fire passed over as it engulfed them.
They discovered they were in a pitch-black void as they scanned their surroundings. There was nothing here but flames that glowed faintly green.
This was the only source of illumination in this vast sea of fire. It was the only place where the flames had not eroded.
Lu Yu's hands began to tremble at this point. His arms were stiff and achy, and he was in pain.
Some flames pierced the light shield and began to erode Lu Yu's claws. This was the source of his pain!
Sweat beads appeared on Lu Yu's brow. He clenched his teeth and used everything he had to repel the sea of fire.
"Can you hang on, Lu Yu? Otherwise, you should just leave. It's possible our fate has been sealed, and we will die here." Xu Yuan was in low spirits, as few could face death with calm.
Wang Meng sat on the spot, both hands on his head. "Bro, I can't believe I can't do anything at such a critical juncture," he exclaimed, on the verge of an emotional breakdown. "I'm powerless and can't help you out! You should get out of here, as someone like me who lacks the strength is unfit to continue..."
Han Xuefei sighed profoundly and lowered her head. "I've never regretted being friends with you, Lu Yu..."
Everyone around Lu Yu had given up hope. They believed they were already doomed and there was no way to change their fate.
Even Lu Yu agreed silently as he'd reached his breaking point. Could it really be that his Light Dragon Claw was this powerless compared to the Death Spirit Dragon's fire breath?
This disparity in strength gave Lu Yu a sense of despair. He had no idea how much effort he would have to put in to catch up to the Death Spirit Dragon's strength.
"We must not give up! We must all witness the demise of the Truth Department as a team!"
Lu Yu clenched his teeth and kept channeling his light elemental energy.
"How much longer can you hold out?" Yun Zirou asked softly. "The surrounding sea of fire is beginning to dwindle, and the flames aren't as high as they used to be."
"I... I may be at my limit right now..."
Lu Yu's voice began to shake, and he knew he was nearing the end of his rope.
A notification flashed in front of Lu Yu's eyes.
[ Light Dragon Claw is getting corroded. Please change form immediately! ]
[ Warning! Light Dragon Claw is getting corroded. Please change form immediately! ]
[ Warning... ]
Several warnings flashed in front of Lu Yu, reminding him that his Light Dragon Claw was getting corroded, and Lu Yu had no idea what would happen if it continued.
"How could I stop..."
Lu Yu clenched his teeth and kept the flame at bay.
Lu Yu saw a few dark green lines forming on his pair of Light Dragon Claws, wrapping around Lu Yu's arms like vines on a tree.
Lu Yu immediately felt the power of his Light Dragon Claw dwindling and his ability gradually fading.
Lu Yu's heartbeat quickened as he had no idea what would happen if he kept going. He was worried that it would be inconvenient for his future if there were any side effects.
There will undoubtedly be many places where light elements could be used. It'd be a shame if he lost this ability!
The light shield before Lu Yu's arms gradually faded until it went almost completely dark.
Crack!
The light shield developed a crack...
Smash!
The light shield exploded, and the aftershock of the explosion sent Lu Yu flying; he landed heavily on the ground.
Following that, a notification appeared in front of his eyes.
[ Light Dragon Claw has been contaminated and is currently unavailable...]
Lu Yu's claws retracted unconsciously, becoming his own hands.
Lu Yu sat up quickly, raised his hand, and looked at it. He let out a helpless sigh and knew his Light Dragon Claw couldn't stop the flames...
Whoosh!
The fire rushed over him, filling the empty space after the light shield was gone.
The flames surged toward the team and nearly engulfed them in an instant.
Xu Yuan and the others stood motionless, welcoming their deaths. Their journey was drawing to a close...
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of everyone.
Su Qing had gathered a massive ball of light with her hands on her chest.
She opened her arms to both sides, and with a whoosh, the ball of light spread out as it wrapped itself around everyone, transforming into another light shield!
Su Qing reignited the hope inside Xu Yuan and the others.
However, in the face of the beating flames', the light shield could only last a few seconds.
The shaky light shield appeared to be on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
"Su Qing..." Xu Yuan looked surprised at Su Qing. He didn't anticipate Su Qing giving her all. She was, however, too frail to change everything.
Su Qing's entire body, including her hair and clothes, shone suddenly. Her feet left the ground, and she slowly began to float.
The light shield that had encircled them then burst forth with dazzling light!
