295 The Lake In The Sky
Xu Yuan was indifferent. He cast a black shield like a dome above Su Wan’s head. The sharp arrows couldn’t pierce through the shield.
It was clear that only the Blazing Night Elf Archers were of use in this fight. Others couldn’t fight at all.
Su Wan turned to the hollow core, which was protected by the twelve huge blue crystals. Xu Yuan’s shield withstood all attacks and kept her safe, allowing her to approach the hollow core.
The mermen were terrified. They shot arrow after arrow to stop her, but the shield repelled them all. No matter how sharp the arrows were, they couldn’t pierce through the shield of dark energy.
When the shield almost broke, Xu Yuan condensed more energy to add to it. It held fast.
‘Thankfully, Xu Yuan is strong!’ Su Wan was very grateful for his help.
As she moved close to the twelve huge crystals, she felt the overwhelming force of the power of the hollow core. It felt like standing at the mouth of a volcano that was about to erupt.
The closer she got, the more excited she became. She wanted to grab the hollow core as soon as possible.
When she finally reached the crystal, something shocking happened. The crystal began to glow.
The twelve crystals were enveloped by the dark light and melted like ice. The magical liquid then flowed and merged into the Crystal of Gloom.
Su Wan sensed the power in the liquid. Part of it was absorbed by the magic crystal she held, and the rest was seeping into the hollow core.
Su Wan didn’t know the value of such a treasure because she couldn’t see its attributes. She was a little confused. However, from the way it absorbed the magical liquid, the hollow core must be something divine!
The Desert Fisherman Lord was shocked. ‘How was this possible?’
The hollow core was left behind by a god at the time of the ancient battle. Even a demigod couldn’t touch it. However, a human had done something to it!
He was gripped by fear. He pointed at Su Wan. “Kill her!”
The mermen charged to attack. Arrows rained down from the sky. Xu Yuan looked almost bored. Hiding in the floating lake gave the mermen protection. However, this very place was also their weakness.
The mermen depended on their arrows. However, the tables had turned. The human and the dragon were unaffected by their arrows!
The Desert Fisherman Lord lifted the conch shell that was tied to his waist. A deep sound reverberated in the air as he blew on it.
A moment later, the mermen retreated with fear in their eyes. A huge shadow covered the sky.
Su Wan raised her head to see a pair of cold eyes, devoid of any emotions, stare down at her. Every cell in her body warned her of danger. She took a deep breath to calm herself.
The thing that appeared in front of her was a huge centaur with two curved horns. It was a female centaur holding a Greataxe. She wore simple leather armor. Her eyes were cold, without a sign of life in them.
Su Wan felt uneasy. ‘How are the mermen related to a centaur?’
When she thought about it, everything was strange here. A lake shouldn’t be able to float in the air, to begin with! So, the relationship between mermen and centaurs was the last thing on her mind.
The giant centaur waved her Greataxe. The axe blade pierced through the shield easily. Four iron hooves landed on the ground before Su Wan.
Su Wan froze where she stood. The centaur was even bigger when up close. She was almost 10 meters tall.
The Greataxe was huge. If it swung freely, it could take down everything in sight.
The two curved horns on the centaur’s head glowed faintly. The centaur looked beautiful, but her lifeless eyes and emotionless expression sent a chill down their backs.
Su Wan finally understood how the Desert Fisherman Lord and his underlings had won against the two-headed ogres.
Su Wan used the True Eye of the Demon Dragon to open the centaur’s attribute panel.
[Ancient Guardian]
[Boss Unit]
[Level: 65]
[Potential: SS-class]
[Note: Guardian of the Land of Broken Laws. Due to the passage of time, her power has degraded from a Demigod Level to Level 65.]
Su Wan took a deep breath. She was unable to calm her racing heart. The guardian once was a demigod!
Even if the centaur’s level had decreased with time. She was still a Boss Type.
The Desert Fisherman Lord looked at the crystal ball that was still devouring the magical liquid from the twelve crystals. He was enraged. “Those were left behind by the gods! This is sacrilege! Stop it! Kneel in penance and beg for forgiveness, and I might let you live!”
Su Wan didn’t even look at him. Her gaze was focused on the centaur. She had a Dark Demon Dragon beside her. What was a mere demigod when compared to him?
She had full faith in Xu Yuan. He could even fight a god, let alone a demigod!
The Desert Fisherman Lord was enraged at being ignored. “Kill them!”
The centaur stared at Xu Yuan and Su Wan and charged.
