Chapter 282 Do you want to keep going?
Lin Tian lowered his head slightly, seemingly examining the transparent magic shield on his body, and even stretched out his finger to gently tap the surface of the shield.
A barely perceptible ripple appeared on the shield.
Then, he raised his head, his gaze calmly fixed on Kael'thas, whose smile had vanished completely, whose expression was as if he had seen a ghost, whose pupils dilated, and whose body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Lin Tian tilted his head slightly, seemingly thinking very seriously for a moment, and then, in a tone that was almost exploratory, even somewhat encouraging, he clearly stated to Kael'thas:
"The attack frequency is acceptable, and the energy intensity... is also passable."
He paused, as if carefully evaluating the situation, before giving his final assessment:
"So close, just a tiny bit more..."
Lin Tian stretched out his hand, making a slight distance between his thumb and forefinger, and said sincerely:
"That would break my casually made shield."
He lowered his hand, looking at Kael'thas, whose face had gone from deathly pale to ashen, then from ashen to deathly gray, as if his worldview were collapsing. With a very kind expression, even one that seemed to say, "It's for your own good," he added:
"Look, my shield is so transparent now, I feel like it might really break if I get hit a few more times."
"Do you want to... try to hold on a little longer?"
......
An eerie silence fell over the battlefield.
Only the occasional crackling of energy embers on the scorched earth, and the low, mournful wail of the Dark Erosion City's [Wall of a Thousand Souls] as its source was forcibly extracted, echoed eerily in the air.
Kael'thas stood there, motionless.
All the expressions on his face—shock, horror, disbelief, rage, madness—seemed to have vanished in those brief few seconds thanks to Lin Tian's nonchalant question, "Why don't you... try to hold on a little longer?"
It was completely frozen, crushed, and then turned into a cold swamp called "despair," immersing his entire soul in it and causing it to sink deeper and deeper.
What did he see?
After sacrificing the foundation of Dark Erosion City, forcibly fusing with the essence of the [Thousand Souls Wall], and raising himself to near level 85, he unleashed a triple ultimate attack with all his might and without reservation—
【Abyssal Torrent - Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts】, 【Netherworld Bone Spear - Piercing Heart with Ten Thousand Arrows】, 【Dark Erosion Judgment - Soul-Destroying Death Ray】!
Each strike is enough to severely injure or even kill an Abyss Lord of the same level!
The combination of these three elements represents his ultimate, trump card, a method he is confident can counter any powerful enemy invasion!
But the result?
That damn human just stood there, without even moving his feet!
It only relied on that ridiculous, pale blue light shield that looked like it could burst like a soap bubble at any moment!
That light shield, from beginning to end, only faded in color and became transparent!
Not even a single crack appeared!
"So close...just a hair's breadth...it could have broken through this casually made shield of mine..."
Lin Tian's calm, inquisitive words echoed in Kael'thas's mind like the most vicious curse.
Every word was like a red-hot branding iron, fiercely searing his dignity, his confidence, and all his pride as the Lord of the Abyss!
The shield that came with the gloves...
It almost broke...
Keep going, keep going...
"puff--!"
Overwhelmed by rage, coupled with the immense backlash from forcibly fusing the power of the [Thousand Souls Wall], he could no longer suppress it.
Kael'thas suddenly coughed up a mouthful of dark purple blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his body swayed violently, and he almost collapsed to his knees again.
The dark red energy patterns on his body flickered violently, and his aura began to fall unsteadily like a deflated balloon.
The power that was forcibly increased was like a tree without roots. Now, it suffered a devastating blow to the mind and a backlash to the body, and immediately showed signs of decline.
He slowly raised his head, his dark red eyes fixed on Lin Tian, who remained calm and composed, as if he had just taken a stroll. The resentment, fear, and a near-collapse madness in his eyes intertwined to form the most complex and dangerous color.
"No...it's impossible...this can't be..."
Kael'thas's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper scraping, and he shook his head as if trying to deny everything before him.
"My power... the power of Dark Corruption City... how could it... even affect your shield..."
He couldn't understand it, he just couldn't understand it!
This is beyond his understanding of power!
Just how thick are this human's defenses?!
What exactly is the upper limit of his strength?!
Was what he just showed only the tip of the iceberg?!
A chill that penetrated to the bone, accompanied by an unprecedented fear, instantly seized Kael'thas's heart.
We can't beat them!
We can't beat them no matter what!
All the tactics and all the trump cards seemed so pale and laughable in the face of the opponent's unfathomable strength!
If we continue fighting, the only outcome will be the same as Sasova and his men: complete annihilation, leaving not a trace behind!
Death! The true, eternal shadow of death, like the coldest tide, completely engulfed Kael'thas.
He doesn't want to die!
He is the Lord of Dark Eclipse City, a candidate for the future Grand Duke of the Abyss, and he still has endless ambitions and desires to fulfill!
How could he die here?
To die at the hands of a human who appeared out of nowhere?
escape!
We must escape!
Once this thought arose, it spread wildly in his heart like wildfire, instantly overwhelming all his resentment, anger, and humiliation.
Faced with an absolute threat of death, dignity, lordly authority, and the blood core of the abyss all become insignificant.
Survive! Only then can there be a future!
But how can they escape? The opponent's terrifying clone is still there, as is the ice dragon, and the opponent is clearly skilled in spatial movement.
If you turn around and run, you'll probably be intercepted and killed instantly.
An opportunity is needed!
We need an opportunity that catches the other party off guard and buys them even a fleeting moment of time!
Kael'thas's mind raced at an unprecedented pace, the threat of death squeezing out all his cunning and quick wit.
A crazy and audacious plan quickly took shape in his mind.
bet!
He was betting that the other party still had a slight interest in him, like a cat playing with a mouse!
He was betting that the other party wanted to see what other "tricks" this "Lord of Dark Eclipse" could pull off!
The expression on his face began to change drastically. He forcibly suppressed the look of despair and fear, replacing it with a mixture of madness, determination, and... a hint of outward bravado masking inner weakness.
