Chapter 36: Instant Kill of the Imaginary Leaf Weaver

Imaginary leaf weaver.

This kind of monster is one of the most undesirable monsters to face during the search for supplies in "Underground Fire".

[The ability to distort reality, to release golden energy rays through the energy absorbed by itself, and to cause any attack within the imaginary field covered by itself with a wave of its hand.] - This is what Oleg, Xier and others described to Fan Yu.

Based on Fan Yu's experience in dealing with these monsters during the search and rescue, the golden light emanating from the hands of the Virtual Leaf Weaver in front of him had clearly locked onto them.

In the past, when encountering such a situation, someone would divert the opponent's attention, and then the person in front would use a long-range attack to quickly evacuate, or take advantage of Xier's speed difference to instantly cut the opponent in half...

but--

This was the first time that Fan Yu faced it alone.

I felt a little nervous, but also a little excited with my heart pounding, just like when I kissed Natasha for some unknown reason.

Hiss—!

The Imaginary Leaf Weaver did not give the enemy in front of it time to understand everything. When the power concentrated between its palms like dead leaves reached full, the Imaginary Leaf Weaver directly made a pushing gesture and shot out a golden energy ray with a radius of ten centimeters from its arms.

call out!

Fan Yu subconsciously blocked the attack with the spear in his hand and his other hand.

A silver-white frost crystal condensed from cold air condensed from Fan Yu's left hand like a mirror and blocked in front of him, facing the oncoming ray of light. The collision between the two made a sharp sound like glass being scraped.

The ice crystals absorbed much of the impact, cracking into several white fissures before shattering instantly. Unable to resist, the golden energy rushed straight towards Fan Yu's chest.

But this brief buffer zone was enough for Fan Yu to make a new reaction. He grasped the gun blade, and the flame energy covering his palm was transferred along the gun barrel to the gun blade. The red gun blade collided with the ray, bringing up a spark in the air.

After a brief shock, Fan Yu immediately stabilized his body, took a step forward and instantly stabbed the waist of the Illusionary Leaf Weaver in front of him.

The Imaginary Leaf Weaver quickly turned around to avoid it. Its body was as graceful as a willow leaf, bringing with it ripples of golden light.

Boo!

Fan Yu's attack failed.

The ripples appeared in front of them, and the distance between the two was less than 2 meters. However, when the Illusionary Leaf Weaver waved the energy condensed in his fingertips again to kill Fan Yu at close range, its arm was swept upward by the spear stabbed by Fan Yu, and the dark red fire element appeared between the spear blade and the spear handle.

Chi!

The spear blade directly pierced through the abdomen of the Imaginary Leaf Weaver!

Golden ripples emanated from its body, sending a resounding roar through the air, resembling the screams of the Illusory Leaf Weaver. But Fan Yu's attack wasn't over yet. He energized the fiery red hook between the spear blade and the handle, and flames emanated from it, irrigating it with Fan Yu's might. Instantly, a ripping sound erupted.

A huge wound was torn open in the body of the Imaginary Leaf Weaver from the abdomen, and countless golden dead leaves and ashes intertwined with flames filled the air, and then the body was split into two.

The remaining part of its power was still distorting the real scene on the bridge. As the core energy of its body was destroyed, it gradually turned into pieces of golden withered leaves and dissipated on the bridge.

At this point, the imaginary leaf weaver was killed instantly!

"..."

Slowly retracting the weapon, the fire element covering the gun blade faded away, and Fan Yu couldn't help but let out a deep breath.

Looking at the environment in front of me, a feeling of unreality emerged from the bottom of my heart.

"It seems that there is not much difference between it and the disaster shadow type?"

His attack method was still the same as the one he used to deal with the Winter Scourge last month - the basic core of his attack was the three-pronged attack of [rapidly thrusting with the spear blade, slashing upwards, and using the barb on the edge of the spear tip to tear the enemy apart].

But is this the extent of the Imaginary Leaf Weaver that Oleg and the others find so troublesome?

Do not……

Fan Yu lowered his head and clenched his hands. It was not that they were different, but that he had become stronger.

Cruze, who was standing aside, leaned against the bridge and stared blankly at the scene of Fan Yu killing the monster in seconds. Compared with the scene just now when he was wearing the monster's armor but couldn't even catch the frost crystal, he was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl under the bridge.

"You're amazing... Thank you for saving me!"

Fan Yu glanced at him and returned to the topic that had been interrupted before the monster appeared. He poked Cruze's upper body ice armor with the blade of his spear and asked: "Are you planning to wear this armor back to the town?"

Cruze hummed, "Scott's Fight Club competition is an opportunity. Even someone like me who can't fight can get a good ranking and share the prize money if I wear it. My child and mother need money to buy medicine for treatment."

Medicine again!

Fan Yu suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said calmly: "If you want to die, I won't stop you. But you wear this to save people, so I have to stop you."

Cruze: "You want to help me?"

A helpless look appeared on his face. "I know your story. The day Earthfire brought you back from Rivet Town, many people knew about the outsider, and it even gave many people hope. You have actually been receiving treatment from Dr. Natasha, right?"

Fan Yu fell silent: "..."

"No need to explain anything. Dr. Natasha is very kind and will treat any patient she sees."

"In that case, why don't you take the child with you?" Fan Yu asked tentatively.

Cruze smiled and shook his head. "If everyone in town wants to rely on her, she'll probably be troubled, right? We in Panyan Town have thought about this. At least when it comes to medicine, we can't continue to burden doctors.

And since Dr. Natasha saved you, you should be of more use than us, right?

We all know that even with the underground fire to help everyone search for resources, Panyan Town will not be able to hold on for long. If we want to give our children a future, we must break the situation.

So, thank you for your concern. But you don’t have to persuade me anymore! ”

"With all the favors I've received, I'm really not qualified to advise you." Fan Yu looked at the man in front of him who was only a few years older than him with dull eyes, and the joy of winning the battle faded away.

Fan Yu touched the small medicine bottle under his collar...

What an irony.

Taking a deep breath, Fan Yu walked in front of him, stretched out his palm, and covered his armor with the temperature of the fire element to melt and shatter it.

Wow!

Cruze's expression froze, and he looked at Fan Yu in astonishment: "You, what did you do..."

"Children with parents and children without parents are two different things. If you're going to sacrifice them, it won't make your child's outcome much better."

Cruze: "So you want me to do nothing and just watch?"

"Since you mentioned medicine, let me tell you something—Natasha treats my injuries almost every day! I don't know how many people will lose the benefits of treatment due to that share, but there's no doubt that I've enjoyed treatment that none of you could even dream of.

In that case, it's okay for you to just watch!" Fan Yu said truthfully.

Cruze: “?”

"Go back, stay with your family and don't come here again. Leave the rest to me!"

Chapter 37 "This power does not belong to me, nor to you"

Fan Yu sent Cruze to the entrance of Panyan Town, then turned around and returned the same way.

Following the footprints of the Silver Mane Iron Guard on the ground, Fan Yu continued to follow and gradually moved away from Rivet Town.

2 hours later.

After a brief encounter with a rift monster along the way, he passed through the Reverberating Corridor, a place rarely crossed by people in Rock Town, the forbidden no-man's land, and crossed the other side of a blocked, broken turntable to reach the pipeline leading to the upper area...

Fan Yu stopped.

He had already seen the scene in front of him where a large number of wooden crates filled with earth marrow ore crystals were piled up, being loaded into the braking transport point and moving towards the area above the pipeline.

The rails, the elevators, the air filled with the smell of rusty metal, filling the place...

The two Silver Mane Iron Guards who were on duty in front of the iron gate fence of the transport pipeline saw Fan Yu walking towards them from the opposite side.

Because there was no shelter around the only direction they came from, they saw the silhouette walking in the middle of the bridge at a glance, and their eyes were filled with astonishment.

This is the only official entrance to the upper district, and it has been blocked for several years. They haven't seen anyone from the lower district for a long time...

However, the Silver Mane Iron Guard quickly regained consciousness and sternly warned Fan Yu, "This is the pipeline transportation point leading to the upper area. Entry is prohibited. Young man, please leave!"

Fan Yu: "Can't you be flexible?"

The Silver Mane Iron Guard glanced at the spear blade behind him and said in a colder tone, "We will only say this once: retreat."

Fan Yu said with regret, "Today is my rare day off..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Yu's knees sank.

Under the cover of energy, it seemed as if a cyclone was created under his feet, and his figure sprinted to the door quickly with a "whoosh", while at the same time, he had already swung out a sweeping force in the process of movement.

The two Silver Mane Iron Guards were well prepared when facing Fan Yu who was holding a weapon. The axes they held fell quickly and clashed with Fan Yu's spear. However, at the moment of collision, a strong force came from the handles of their axe blades.

The pupils under the Silver Mane Iron Guard's mask groaned in pain, and his hands uncontrollably loosened their weapons and dropped to the ground.

They tried to squat down to take it out, but Fan Yu had already come in front of them. He kicked the Silver Mane Iron Guard on the left away, causing it to hit the iron gate. He then used the gun blade in his right hand to hit the Silver Mane Iron Guard on the right with a stick, knocking it away.

Crack!

The obvious sound of broken bones came from under the man's clothes. When he fell to the ground, he was too weak to shout.

Fan Yu stared at the two defeated Silver Mane Iron Guards and sighed inexplicably, "Weaker than the Winter Scourge and the Burning Scourge... huh?!"

As the words fell from his mind, a blue and white phantom flashed in Fan Yu's vision. His hand immediately flashed to his side and his body jumped back two meters.

Ka!

A two-meter-long ice spear struck Fan Yu two meters away from his feet.

At the side staircase of the iron gate, a silver-maned lieutenant wearing a gray helmet and holding a large white shield walked down.

He pulled up the spear from the ground and looked at Fan Yu's face. Behind the Silver Mane Lieutenant's mask, he couldn't tell if the expression was one of surprise or understanding. He asked in a deep voice, "Are you the young man from 'Earth Fire'?"

Fan Yu was a little surprised: "You actually know me?"

Lieutenant Silvermane: "Amidst the crowd expressing their dissatisfaction with the orderly's remarks, I was impressed by your calm demeanor. However, I didn't expect you to come here alone. This is not the judgment of a calm person."

"There are things I'm interested in, stories I've listened to, and favors I owe..." Fan Yu responded indifferently.

"is it?"

Lieutenant Silvermane said nothing more, but slammed his large shield into the ground, gathered his two defeated men behind him, and then stopped moving, standing guard like a city wall.

Seeing his lack of fighting spirit, Fan Yu asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Lieutenant Silvermane said coldly, "You have no idea what you are doing, and there is no need for me to fight you.

Following the blockade, we have been avoiding fighting between the two levels, as have your leaders of the Earth Fire.

"Great Guardian Cocolia Rand is completely different from what you once knew. Your actions alone will anger the Great Guardian. Her personality will lead her to issue even more terrifying orders, causing the Silver Mane Iron Guard to launch a bloody crackdown on the lower districts!"

Fan Yu: "If you find it scary, why don't you just refuse?"

Lieutenant Silvermane: "The Silvermane Iron Guard has been following the Great Guardian since the first Great Guardian, Alyssa Rand, hundreds of years ago. Betraying the Great Guardian is not as simple as you say."

"Adhering to the knight's blind loyalty... Forget it, we have nothing to say!" Fan Yu tightened the spear in his hand and lost interest in the conversation.

Silver Mane Lieutenant: "..."

In the next second, as if the negotiations broke down, the battle was about to break out.

The spear blade driven by Fan Yu and the large shield held by Lieutenant Silver Mane formed a spear and shield collision.

Om-!

A sharp sound came from the impact point of the large shield collision. There was no sound of metal being struck, but rather like ripples on the horizontal surface.

The spear blade he thrust out was hit by the recoil force, and cracks appeared at the tip of the blade, gradually breaking off.

Fan Yu frowned as he looked at the huge shield opposite. It felt like a gun blade hit the invisible air wall and did not break through the ice crystals on the surface of the shield.

"You cannot cross the Wall of Preservation." Lieutenant Silvermane said calmly, staring at his broken weapon.

"That may not be the case..."

Fan Yu stared at the aqua-blue shield opposite him, then looked at his own weapon.

He threw the broken weapon forward.

The large shield raised by Lieutenant Silver Mane immediately turned in another direction, but during this period of protection, a hint of cold air appeared in Fan Yu's palm, and the condensed frost wrapped around the silver-white part of the shield.

Click!

Like a union of the same elements, the cold ice element directly crossed the invisible protective barrier on the shield and resonated with the ice crystals embedded in it.

Immediately afterwards, the water blue color that filled the center of the shield shattered with a loud bang.

Fan Yu showed an expression of 'as expected'.

The pupils of the Silver Mane Lieutenant's helmet were filled with shock: "How is it possible..."
