Chapter 1059: Hopeless Situation?
Huff, huff~
During his flight backward, Lin Rui’s face displayed a shocked expression on his face. The tip of his Beheading Spirit Sword was missing, as it had shattered upon contact with the surge of darkness just now.
It’s worth noting that the Beheading Spirit Sword was already considered a pseudo-legendary weapon. The fact that it had its tip shattered upon a momentary touch from that surge of darkness indicated just how powerful it was.
“I can’t drag this on any longer! I need to run!” Retrieving the broken Beheading Spirit Sword into its scabbard at his waist, Lin Rui quickly made up his mind.
Swish!
Therefore, he twisted his body mid-air and swiftly rushed away from Kaecilius, without even looking back.
“Come back to me!” However, just as Lin Rui had dashed a dozen meters away, he heard Kaecilius’s increasingly different roar from behind.
Boom!
Next, Lin Rui felt the world around him start to rapidly rotate, and the already overturned world began shifting once again. Moreover, even gravity was changing with the rotation of the world. Although Lin Rui was still flying in mid-air, he was greatly affected.
Hoo!
Soon, the direction Lin Rui had been charging towards was blocked by a towering wall a.s.sembled from various structures.
The paths on both sides were rapidly sealed, and even the sky was inaccessible. It was at this moment that Kaecilius truly unleashed the full potential of the Mirror Dimension.
Having ceased his forward momentum mid-air, Lin Rui tried his best to stabilize his body. However, his complexion had become extremely grim. Clearly, faced with the current situation, Lin Rui had no other means of escape. At this moment, he regretted not bringing the Magic Cube with him even more.
“I’ve been stalling for so long, why hasn’t the backup arrived yet!?” Feeling helplessly trapped, Lin Rui thought with frustration.
Apart from the Magic Cube, there were still ways for Lin Rui to extricate himself from this dangerous situation. However, doing so would require him to expend a considerable amount of unnecessary Reward Points.
Although Lin Rui wasn’t particularly lacking in Reward Points at this point, he couldn’t afford to waste them casually, right?
However, if he still didn’t receive any backup at the last moment, he would have no choice but to use Reward Points to exchange for an item from the System Shop that could help him safely escape.
Swish!
Just as Lin Rui was trying his best to stabilize himself in mid-air, Kaecilius had already caught up.
“Hmph! Die!” Sensing that Lin Rui had been pushed into a desperate situation, Kaecilius angrily shouted and pounced directly.
Boom!
This time, Lin Rui didn’t want to engage in a head-on confrontation with Kaecilius because he knew he couldn’t completely block that surge of darkness emanating from him. However, he had nowhere to hide.
Therefore, Lin Rui could only reluctantly draw out the Beheading Spirit Sword, missing its tip, and swung it at Kaecilius.
Furthermore, the metallic sphere that could release a semi-transparent protective shield in his left hand reappeared. Although he didn’t know how much effectiveness remained in the metallic sphere, it was better than having nothing at all.
Pū!
Azura’s Sword Energy rushed out from the Beheading Spirit Sword and was instantly dissipated upon contact with the dark aura in front of Kaecilius, who continued to charge toward Lin Rui without slowing down.
Clang!
In the next moment, the damaged Beheading Spirit Sword clashed with Kaecilius’ translucent long blade.
Crackling sounds filled the air.
As expected, cracks appeared on the surface of Lin Rui’s swung Beheading Spirit Sword, rendering it unable to withstand the invasion of the dark aura.
Feeling the sword’s body crumbling under the strain, Lin Rui suppressed his reluctance and twisted his right hand forcefully.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the Beheading Spirit Sword, which had been riddled with cracks and stood before Lin Rui, instantly shattered into dozens of sharp metal shards.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Although the Beheading Spirit Sword was completely destroyed, it still exerted its final effect. The shattered metal shards, imbued with the internal energy released in the sword’s final moment, flew rapidly toward Kaecilius. At such close range, Kaecilius had no way to dodge them.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Most of the metal shards were blocked by the dark aura in front of Kaecilius, but a few pieces managed to pierce through.
Snap!
As a couple of shards approached his face, Kaecilius barely managed to turn his head. In the next instant, two fragments grazed past his ear and chin.
Ignoring the stinging pain from his ear and chin, Kaecilius, after smashing the Beheading Spirit Sword, increased the force with which he attacked Lin Rui’s face. As the Beheading Spirit Sword had been completely destroyed in his hand, Lin Rui once again triggered the metal sphere in his hand.
Buzzing!
In the next moment, the translucent protective shield that had previously blocked the golden magical torrent reappeared, instantly enveloping Lin Rui. However, this time, the shield seemed even more transparent, almost like a thin layer.
However, the shield’s coverage area was reduced, almost adhering to Lin Rui’s body surface.
Noticing the emergence of the protective shield on Lin Rui’s body, a cruel expression appeared in Kaecilius’ eyes.
Previously, he couldn’t be hindered by this shield even after receiving several strikes. Now, with the power of the dark dimension already in use, how could a shield with almost no energy left possibly withstand him?
Crack!
As expected, in the instant Kaecilius’ long blade touched the nearly transparent shield, the entire shield shattered completely. Then, the blade swung unimpeded toward Lin Rui’s face.
“It seems there’s no other choice…” Faced with the attack of this eerie dark dimension power, Lin Rui had almost given up hope.
Although Lin Rui could still exchange for some defensive items from the system store, none of them could withstand the power of the dark dimension. After all, the Reward points Lin Rui possessed were not unlimited.
“Well then… farewell, this world…” Helplessly watching the blade pierce through the shattered shield, Lin Rui’s mind remained calm, while a small cylindrical device appeared in his hand.
Buzzing!
Just when Lin Rui had already given up and planned to leave something for Kaecilius at the last moment, several energy fluctuations resonated from his body.
It wasn’t the internal energy he had already consumed, but rather the activation of the defense system of the Phantom Suit he wore and the protective charms he had been wearing.
These defensive items had activated on their own, even though they couldn’t compare to the metal sphere specifically used for the defense that Lin Rui had just employed. Nevertheless, they still represented a protective force guarding Lin Rui.
