The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 239 Purpose

Just then, Number Two finally found the key to the magic circle. With a flick of his arm, a bright light flashed, and the black-robed man's magic circle cracked and collapsed with a crash! The black-robed men were startled, and the leader roared in anger, quickly ordering his men to concentrate their fire on Number Two. Number Two remained unfazed by the onslaught, a confident smile playing on his lips. He flashed, weaving among the black-robed men like a ghost, each flash resulting in the fall of one of them. The leader of the black-robed men was enraged. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, instantly darkening the sky with thick clouds, and a massive black lightning bolt struck directly at Number Two. Number Two looked up at the sky, his hands moving rapidly, and a complex magic circle appeared beneath his feet. Just as the black lightning was about to strike him, he roared, and a white light barrier rose from the magic circle, blocking and reflecting the black lightning back. Black lightning struck the group of black-robed figures instantly, hitting many and eliciting screams of agony. At that moment, Number Two seized the opportunity to charge towards the leader, his speed leaving only a blur. The leader, terrified, had no time to react before Number Two punched him, sending him flying to the ground with a heavy thud. Seeing this, the remaining black-robed figures scattered and fled. Number Two stood there, clapping his hands, a victorious smile on his face.

The woman saw this as a golden opportunity! She quickly waved her hands, and bursts of blue light appeared around her. The blue light transformed into countless ice spikes, shooting towards the group of black-robed figures. Many of them didn't have time to dodge and were struck by the ice spikes, howling in pain. After finishing with the magic circle, Number Two dashed to the woman's side. The two stood back to back, preparing to face the final wave of attacks from the black-robed figures! However, the black-robed figures didn't launch their final attack; instead, an eerie silence descended. Number Two became wary and whispered to the woman, "Be careful, it might be a trap." As soon as she finished speaking, the earth began to tremble violently, and cracks spread out. A huge shadow beast slowly crawled out of the ground, exuding an evil aura, its blood-red eyes fixed on the two of them. Number Two frowned and whispered, "This beast is difficult to deal with. I'll go and hold it off first. You find an opportunity to attack its weak point." The woman nodded in understanding. Number Two flashed forward, charging towards the Shadow Beast. His fists whistled, each strike imbued with immense power. But the beast's hide was thick, and Number Two's attacks only managed to make it sway slightly. The beast roared, its giant claws lashing out, and Number Two, unable to dodge, was swept away. Seeing this, the woman rapidly formed hand seals, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet. She summoned several ice dragons that flew towards the beast. The ice dragons coiled around the beast, restricting its movement. Number Two seized the opportunity to regain his footing, his hands igniting with flames as he charged at the beast again, the flames engulfing its body. The beast struggled painfully, finally breaking free from the ice dragons' restraints, and opened its maw, spewing out balls of dark energy. Number Two and the woman nimbly dodged, simultaneously launching counterattacks. During a brief pause in the beast's breath, Number Two noticed a shimmering crystal on its abdomen. He shouted, "That's its weak point!" The woman concentrated all her magic power into a single point, shooting out a beam of blue light that accurately struck the crystal. The monster let out a deafening howl, crashed to the ground, and vanished in a puff of black smoke. Number Two and the woman exchanged a glance, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled with satisfaction.

Number Two frowned, knowing this was the black-robed man's trump card. He quickly gathered magic in his hand, forming a gleaming sword. The woman clasped her hands together, chanting an ice incantation, emanating a strong chill from her body.

The shadow beast launched the first attack, its massive claws sweeping towards them. Number Two nimbly leaped onto the beast's back and thrust his sword fiercely. Simultaneously, the woman fired several ice shards, striking the beast's eyes. The beast, in pain, shook its body violently, nearly throwing Number Two off. But he gripped the beast's scales tightly, exerting his strength again to plunge his sword deep into the beast's body. The woman increased her magical output, sending even more ice shards flying towards the beast. Finally, the beast crashed to the ground, turning into a puff of black smoke and disappearing. Number Two and the woman exchanged a smile, letting out a sigh of relief.
