All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents-Chapter 45: Elemental Body - Wind Shadow Beast
The two of them rode on the back of the Dragon Rhinoceros.
The wide Armor and heavy Shield gave Lu Cang a sense of security.
Trende was different from the fat man from yesterday. He was a more seasoned, middle-aged man.
Although his build was hidden beneath his armor, the rigid lines of his face suggested he had a muscular physique.
Level 3 was a watershed moment.
It was said that the vast majority of Reincarnators in the world never advanced beyond Level 3.
Advancing from Level 3 to Level 4 was a major hurdle.
One that ordinary people found difficult to overcome.
That was why you often saw Level 2 Adventurers who were still young, around twenty years old.
But Level 3 Adventurers could be anywhere from their twenties to their fifties or sixties...
[Wind Shadow Beast - Elemental Mutation]
A Tier Three Lord Level Demon.
During the investigation, it was highly suspected to be a Special Species. The intelligence report stated that an Observer investigating from a distance had been noticed by it and was hunted down.
The Observer nearly lost their life.
This piece of intelligence also indicated that its Perception was extremely sharp, and its Tracking range was very long.
The [Observer] is a non-Battle Profession that excels at observing targets from afar, detecting hidden traps, finding units in Invisibility, and identifying enemy weaknesses and openings.
It was said that an Observer above Level 5 could even lock onto a person’s exact location from thousands of miles away.
To make it easier to see outside, the carriage windows were large and clear.
An Everlasting Lamp lit up.
The shadows in this part of the Forest were swept away.
"It’s getting close."
Although Meizer couldn’t see it, he could sense the enemy’s presence.
It was the sound of turbulent wind rustling through the trees. In this terrain, they were surrounded by trees on all sides.
BOOM—
The Dragon Rhinoceros charged straight ahead, smashing through the trees!
’Weaving around will just make us an easy target!’
SWOOSH!
"Here it comes!"
Lu Cang felt the Elements stir restlessly!
BOOM!
Before he could even turn his head!
A Heavy Wall had already erupted from the ground!
RUMBLE!
Three layers of Heavy Walls rose beside them in an instant! Immediately after, the impact of something crashing into earth and stone reverberated back to them!
BANG!
The first Heavy Wall was covered in countless fine cracks from the impact!
’So fast!’
’I haven’t even seen the enemy yet!’
’And it’s already attacked!’
’If my Perception of the Elements weren’t so incredibly sharp, I might have actually been caught off guard.’
But that one strike allowed him to finally pinpoint the enemy’s location.
A Magic Element attack—Shadow Slash.
SWOOSH!
Lu Cang felt a dense wave of Dark Element slashing toward them!
BANG!
However, the two incoming slashes struck a barrier Lu Cang had generated in mid-air.
[Rigid Barrier (Level 188)]
The barrier let out two muffled thuds. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The two slashes had no effect whatsoever.
High-speed Ice Shuttle.
Thunder Flash.
Silent Wind Swarm.
Wind Roar.
Cross-Birth Pillar.
Poison Vine Whip.
...
The Ice left a long trail as it pierced through layer after layer of trees.
CRACKLE—
BOOM!
Flashes of Thunder streaked by one after another!
Beneath the Dragon Rhinoceros’s feet, a shadow spread out—
[Sinking Shadow Swamp (Tier Two) (Level 152)—Effect: Extreme Range, Merging into the Shadows, Sinking, Rapid Spread, Rapid Entrapment, Adhesive.]
The Punching Pillars smashed about horizontally and vertically!
A storm carrying the Silent Wind Swarm erupted in an instant!
BOOM!
More than ten different types of Magic erupted simultaneously, instantly obliterating the dense woods to their side!
And the [Wind Shadow Beast], which had been hiding among the trees, was finally exposed to Lu Cang’s sight.
It had incredible Speed, and it mimicked a black shadow.
Its body was like a mixture of transparent wind and murky shadow, and as it charged, it looked even more like a stream of flowing black qi.
It was impossible to see clearly in the gaps between the trees.
But...
When entire swathes of the forest were blasted away and torn to shreds by Lu Cang in a single moment!
This Demon finally had nowhere left to hide!
The instant it sensed the threat,
it immediately transformed into a black current of wind and shot toward Lu Cang!
"You’ve got to be kidding me."
Luo Si’s eyes widened in shock!
Previously, when Lu Cang had insta-killed a Tier Three Lord Demon, he had always used two or three spells to do it, which was already ridiculous for a Level 2 Mage.
What the hell was with this instantaneous burst of Magic?
Hey!
You just blew away that entire section of the forest!
Is that the power of a Level 2 Mage?
’Was the power he showed before just the tip of the iceberg? No way, right?’
Luo Si was filled with shock.
But even as she was shocked, Luo Si had already prepared to face the enemy.
"Protect!"
DING—
A thin curtain of light unexpectedly appeared around Lu Cang.
[Protective Skill (Level 2)]
The Protective Skill of a Tier Three Healing Mage.
Unlike Mages, Healing Mages have many Techniques that require No Chanting.
They can be cast instantly but require time to recover.
That’s right... they are Skills with cooldowns that can be stored multiple times.
Meanwhile, Trende had already twisted his body, shielding Lu Cang behind him as he faced the Demon.
Lu Cang’s eyes narrowed slightly.
’This Demon is an elemental mutation.’
’It’s lost its physical body and become an Elemental Body.’
’Physical attacks without elemental Enchantment are almost completely ineffective against an Elemental Body.’
’However, an Elemental Body will take massive damage from elemental attacks it’s weak against.’
’I could probably inflict heavy damage on it directly with Holy Light Cross.’
’Or a Tier Two Light-Piercing Spear should also have an outstanding effect.’
But seeing Trende standing in front of him,
an idea formed in Lu Cang’s mind.
’I want to see how they fight.’
’I spent so much money hiring them, but I’ve never seen them in combat.’
’It was just for insurance, but thinking about how I might still need them for a while...’
’I should at least see how well they can protect me.’
’Otherwise, hiring new people every time would be a hassle. It’s safer to fight alongside people I know rather than teaming up with strangers.’
BANG!
The boss transformed into a black current of wind, piercing forward like a spear!
But before it could get close to Lu Cang, it slammed into an invisible barrier with a BANG!
[Rigid Barrier (Level 188)]
A loud boom erupted from the barrier.
’That attack didn’t break through my Rigid Barrier’s defense.’
Lu Cang could tell that this monster was fast and good at concealing its movements, but its damage was very low.
BANG!
The boss shot backward violently, launching some distance away like a black, coiled ball, then immediately charged toward Lu Cang again!
Trende roared, "Your enemy is me!"
In that instant!
Lu Cang felt a powerful aura erupt from Trende!
Immediately after, he felt a wave of hatred rise from the man!
[Combat Skill: Hateful Taunt]
’So he has a taunt.’
Lu Cang leaped back lightly, jumping straight off the Dragon Rhinoceros!
Before he landed, a huge Ice Shuttle formed beneath his feet.
SIZZLE—
Ice froze around his feet.
Lu Cang stood on the Ice Shuttle, matching the Dragon Rhinoceros’s speed, and in this way, he managed to fly.
