Chapter 71: He Couldn’t Even Break Through the Illusion
The more Anthony thought about it, the more shocked he became. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The other party was looking at him coldly from the side, using the environment runes to force him to use all his methods. The rune ability couldn’t be used indefinitely. No matter what rune it was, there would be a limit.
The time limit, the consumption of spiritual power, and even some of the rune-master’s lifespan would be used up.
Once his rune ability was almost exhausted, the other party could easily harvest his life.
At this time, Anthony’s physical strength was greatly exhausted. His limbs were already starting to become sore, and his spiritual power was also greatly exhausted, especially in order to break the other party’s time restriction.
In an instant, Anthony exploded with a large amount of energy, and for a moment, his mind was a little dizzy.
This was one of the characteristics of mental exhaustion. The most important thing now was to think of a way to get rid of this illusion.
“Break!”
Anthony used the destruction rune again.
This was the most powerful rune he currently had, and it was also the highest level blue rune.
The destruction rune appeared in mid-air, and it quickly changed from a small blue dot to the size of a house, pressing down in mid-air.
Anthony’s expression was filled with dissatisfaction and crazy killing intent. “The illusion requires spiritual power to call itself. Let’s see if you can hold on or if I can hold on.
“When I break your illusion, it will be the moment of your death!”
Anthony shouted sternly.
No matter what, he was still a graduate of the Rune Academy.
He was also the first Prince of the Simon Empire. His status was incomparably n.o.ble. Yet, he was actually being played by a brat!
This was simply an insult.
“I really didn’t expect that there would be someone like you around them.
“I heard that you came from the heavenly battlefield, right? Hehe, you are indeed very powerful. It’s a pity that you haven’t matured yet. Today, you will definitely die!”
Anthony’s expression became increasingly malevolent.
He had always been able to kill whoever he wanted.
This had been especially so in the past few years. He held a high position and often tortured and killed commoners and some aristocrats. In short, anyone who did not listen to him would be mercilessly executed by him.
He was already used to being a hunter. He even enjoyed it very much as he watched those people panic and be at a loss before they died.
“This illusion of yours can’t trap me. I didn’t expect those old fellows from the heavenly battlefield to be so generous. They actually taught you all the time and illusion runes.”
Anthony subconsciously thought that these old fellows from the heavenly battlefield taught Lugh because these runes were extremely powerful and rare, especially the time runes. In the entire rune world, only a few of them appeared every thousand years.
They weren’t that easy to condense.
“Unfortunately, it’s useless. Your runic strength is too low, and your attack methods are too simple. You can even say that they’re extremely messy. You’ve simply wasted these powerful runes. After I kill you, these runes will all be mine.
“Everyone listen up. Help me kill this thief outside.”
Anthony thought he still had his soldiers waiting for him.
However, he didn’t know that these soldiers had already been killed by Lugh in the first round of the reinforced knife rain.
Their bodies were cold.
Each and every one of them were nailed to the ground by the reinforced bar.
Even the monsters that they had set off had been poked into sieves. They couldn’t be any more dead.
What Anthony saw had just been an illusion.
Lugh once again condensed a clone.
“Is this because of Vivienne’s sarcastic remark? Is there a need to make such a big commotion?
“To think that even you, the first Prince of the Simon Empire, would not hesitate to run hundreds of miles to chase and kill her. There’s really something wrong with all of you.”
Lugh was really quite speechless.
If it was to chase and kill him, it was understandable. After all, he had killed Berg. He had also broken into the queen’s vault and robbed all of her treasures.
But if it was because of Vivienne’s previous complaints about the Simon Empire, sending so many people to chase and kill her, and even slapping a prince out, it really made Lugh feel that there was something wrong with him.
The royal family of the Simon Empire was not only rotten, but there was also something wrong with their brains.
A good empire did not manage, did not think of ways to improve the lives of its people.
Instead, they spent their efforts on dealing with people who had some opinions about the empire, thinking of exploiting and slaughtering civilians all day long…
This country was really the strangest empire that Lugh had ever seen.
There were clearly so many fertile lands, vast fields, and so many people to govern. They could use these to develop a strong country, so that civilians, n.o.bles, and the royal family could all live better lives.
Yet, the royal family of this country did not follow the normal path.
Unless the queen had found out that he had ransacked the vault. After all, the loss of the vault was too great. It contained the wealth and treasures that the queen had plundered for so many years.
But she deserved it. She was the demon queen.
She had caused such disaster to the good country.
It was also good to slap Anthony. He was a living target.
It just so happened to let Lugh vent his anger towards the Simon Empire’s royal family.
It could also temper Lugh’s rune control ability.
“Kill!”
Anthony seemed to have gone crazy.
He constantly used all sorts of methods and runes. Although he was unable to break Lugh’s illusion, it allowed Lugh to slowly understand the limits of his runes and their various abilities.
Lugh didn’t actually have to do anything. Just by relying on the illusion runes, he could slowly wear down Anthony to his death.
Although Anthony’s holy shield runes were very powerful, as long as his spiritual power was exhausted, he wouldn’t be able to use the runes.
At that time, Anthony would only have a body. He would be like a lion without teeth.
He would just have to wait for death.
Anthony was the first person that Lugh had met since he transmigrated that could cause danger to his life.
Therefore, he attached great importance to Anthony. He had already planned all kinds of methods to deal with him.
