Witch Special

Seeing Lin Zhenxi coming, Norni's pretty face instantly showed joy. Although she quickly suppressed her expression, Lin Zhenxi's eyes were sharp and he saw it clearly.

"Lin Zhenxi, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for days." Noelni slammed the long staff she had just used to poke the mechanical junk into the ground, then said angrily, hands on her hips, "Didn't you say you could come find me? Why haven't you shown up in all these days?"

Lin Zhenxi scanned the surroundings and found many traces of magic left by Norni. It seemed as if she was venting all her boredom from waiting on the surroundings, which made her feel a little funny.

"Sorry, sorry, I've been busy with experiments lately and haven't had time to check on you." Lin Zhenxi smiled and waved his hands, then pointed to the small pits on the ground around him and asked curiously, "So, what exactly do you want to talk to me about? Do you think you've made a lot of progress recently and want to challenge me? Come on, I've also made some great achievements, and I can let you see them."

Noelni originally wanted to tell Lin Zhenxi that it was time to fulfill her previous promise, but since Lin Zhenxi wanted to fight, Noelni was of course willing to join him.

In fact, Norni has accumulated a lot of pressure as the leader of the Orc Canyon during this period.

In the past, although she was the hope of the Outerface Tribe, held in high regard and tasked with mediating conflicts, Outerface conflicts were generally quite simple, requiring little time or effort on her part. But now, with the entire Orc Rift under her control, her workload has suddenly increased significantly. It's clear that she's not cut out for handling government affairs. If it weren't for Benjamin the Gray Fox helping her, she might have already brought the Orc Rift to its knees.

Ultimately, Norni preferred fighting to administrative work. Her strength was born for combat, and governing the village was not within her capabilities.

Moreover, although she had been incredibly busy these days, and her lack of mastery had only made her increasingly chaotic, her combat abilities had been steadily improving. After becoming Norni, her mind was flooded with wild ideas, and she was adept at harnessing all kinds of energy. Although she hadn't had much time to practice her spellcasting abilities in the past month, she believed she was now a world away from where she was a month ago.

As expected, she prefers fighting to administration.

So when faced with Lin Zhenxi's suggestion, Noelni immediately forgot her original purpose of looking for her, grabbed the long magic wand at hand, pointed it at Lin Zhenxi, and a large magic circle appeared at the front of the wand, and then countless small magic circles expanded around it like blowing bubbles.

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't even said start yet and you're already launching a sneak attack." Lin Zhenxi calmly drew out his magic wand, raised it above his head and drew a circle, then turned the expanding circle into a silver shield and pulled it in front of him.

"Stop talking so much nonsense. We have to fight anyway, so just start. Take it!" As she said that, Noelni excitedly shouted out the name of the most powerful attack magic she had gained in the past month.

"Shine bright, stars!"

The next moment, beams of light, large and small, erupted from the magic circle, tracing various irregular paths through the air and rushing towards Lin Zhenxi from all directions. At the same time, the main magic circle in front of Norni began to continuously accumulate power. From the center of the magic circle, an expanding purple-white ball of light appeared, flashing with leaping energy lightning, looking extremely dangerous.

Lin Zhenxi's silver-white circular shield expanded once again, completely blocking Lin Zhenxi's front and blocking all small beam attacks. At the same time, Lin Zhenxi's voice came from behind the circular shield: "Hey, not bad! You knew to use a small skill to slow me down before launching the magic cannon attack. Much better than last time."

"Look, I'm going to beat you this time. Roar, Torrent!"

Noelni prepared the magic very quickly. As soon as the last small beam of light was shot out, the magic cannon completed the accumulation of magic power and turned into a torrent of dazzling light, shooting towards Lin Zhenxi's circular light shield.

Lin Zhenxi chuckled and shrank the size of her light shield, revealing her figure behind it, as if she wasn't worried about Norni's attack hurting her at all. As the light shield shrank, Lin Zhenxi also adjusted the angle of the circular light shield, tilting it at a thirty-degree angle to meet Norni's beam of light.

Seeing Lin Zhenxi's countermeasures, the first thing that came to Norni's mind was "impossible." Was Lin Zhenxi trying to deflect her attack?

“It’s not just skewed~”

As she spoke, Lin Zhenxi swung her wand aside a second before the beam of light struck her face. A large number of identical silver light shields appeared behind her, forming a rough ring. The next moment, Norni's light cannon slammed into the light shield in front of Lin Zhenxi. The surface of the light shield lit up with a dazzling light, forming a smooth protective layer that deflected all energy that came into contact with it.

Because of the angle, the light shield did not suffer too much impact and stubbornly held on to the end under the baptism of the light cannon.

The same situation continued to occur on other light shields. The continuously deflected light cannons traveled a long deflection path, and their direction reversed by more than 180 degrees. Finally, they flew towards the stunned Noelni from the sky.

"You use my attack to hit me!?" Noelni couldn't believe what was happening in front of her eyes, but she still had to summon a hemispherical energy shield to protect herself and face the light column whose power was severely dispersed due to too many deflections.

"What? Is it not possible?" Lin Zhenxi's faint voice came directly from behind Noelni, very close.

"What!" Norni's attention was completely attracted by the beam of light reflected back at her in the air. She didn't notice when Lin Zhenxi ran behind her through Apparition. Now she was frightened by Lin Zhenxi's sudden appearance and disappearance.

What's worse is that Lin Zhenxi had already pointed his magic wand at Noelni's back which was not protected by the energy shield, and together with Noelni's own light cannon attack, he formed a pincer attack on Noelni from the front and back.

Noelni quickly mobilized more magic power and turned the energy shield that originally only covered one side into a completely spherical shape. The overall blue protective shield looked very strong.

However, the expected Lin Zhenxi attack never arrived. Instead, the beam of light from the front sprayed at Norni's energy shield like a water gun, pushing her back a long way. But as mentioned before, due to excessive refraction and dispersion, the power of this beam of light was pitifully weak, with only the impact remaining.

But Norni's uneasiness grew because she couldn't find Lin Zhenxi.

"Look up, silly girl." Lin Zhenxi's voice came from above at this time. Noelni looked up quickly and saw Lin Zhenxi floating above her head with a small bottle in his hand.

Seeing that Norni had looked up, Lin Zhenxi gave her a very warm smile and loosened the fingers that were holding the small bottle.

"This recent research achievement is also a welcome gift to you." The vial fell freely. With its stable environment disrupted, the magical essence within it expanded completely in mid-air into an uncontrolled, high-energy plasma. Lin Zhenxi's remaining trace of fire element ignited this extremely dangerous energy, rapidly expanding it into a massive fireball over ten meters across, a dazzling golden color.

After Lin Zhenxi threw down the small bottle, he immediately used Apparition to escape again. However, Norni, who had just used the full-power energy shield, was unable to move immediately because of the stiffness of her body and the sluggish flow of magic power. She could only watch the huge golden fireball fall towards her freely, with a look of despair on her face.

After Lin Zhenxi reached a safe location, he turned around and saw that Norni hadn't reacted at all. She seemed so frightened that she had forgotten to resist. His scalp tingled for a moment. That was a magical phenomenon caused by the combustion of a drop of magic essence. The residual fire element Lin Zhenxi had pre-set was merely a trigger. Therefore, this fireball wasn't like Lin Zhenxi's magic, which could be resisted by using mystical power.

Being hit by such a fireball would be fatal.

Lin Zhenxi had anticipated that with a fireball falling so slowly, Norni would be able to avoid the center of the explosion by simply running. Her long legs couldn't just look sluggish but actually be completely useless. As long as she stayed away from the center, the shockwave from the explosion wouldn't be fatal. But if she stayed directly under the fireball, Norni would likely be shattered to pieces.

This is not what Lin Zhenxi wants. Noelni is an opponent recognized by Lin Zhenxi. How can she die from such a random attack!

It was too late to provide assistance now, so Lin Zhenxi had to think of some unconventional methods, and he had to do it within the few seconds of the fireball's free fall.

"It's so annoying... Don't die so easily!" Lin Zhenxi gritted his teeth and quickly constructed a not-so-complicated spatial structure model in his mind.

As the magic power surged in a constructed magic configuration, a space crack opened above Noelni's head and expanded rapidly, barely swallowing the golden fireball.

But this was a space crack, not a space channel; it was one-way. After the fireball fell into the space crack, it came to the gap between this world and Lin Zhenxi's exclusive world, and eventually exploded there.

At the moment of the explosion, Lin Zhenxi suddenly felt as if her nostrils, which had been suffering from rhinitis, were now unblocked. The connection between her and her own exclusive world was actually opened up by this explosion.

"Huh?" Lin Zhenxi was stunned.
