Chapter 24: If You Can’t Beat Him…

Translator: Lonelytree

[Warning, only 3% of energy remaining. The system will automatically shut down in 15 seconds…]

‘Remove overload mode!’ Hearing the notification in his mind, Lin En said without hesitation.

There had been no assistance for five whole days after the AI was shut down, and Lin En did not want to experience it again. The previous battles had consumed almost 90% of his magic power.

However, the corners of Lin En’s mouth curled up into a smile because he had already obtained the initiative in the battle!

As a taboo in modern warfare, the terror of white phosphorous was not only its ability to burn everything but also its terrifying toxicity!

It was precisely because of this that he had specially sent away Pigeon and Joni and instructed everyone to hold their breaths during the battle to prevent them from being poisoned to death.

However, it was different when he was fighting against Antioch. The [White Phosphorus-Fireball] and [Balrog’s Hand] were used to fill the sealed space with poisonous gas.

Close combat would consume Antioch’s stamina and guide the airflow, forcing the opponent to inhale the poison gas more intensely!

It should be about time. Even if it was a real human-shaped Tyrannosaurus, it was not easy for it to last until now…

Just as Lin En had expected, Antioch, who was hiding in the ‘turtle shell’, had already sensed the weakness coming from all parts of his body. His head was dizzy, and his vision gradually became blurry. The originally abundant strength in his body seemed to be stripped away bit by bit.

What sorcery was this?

In an instant, Antioch thought of the 4th circle spell called [Death Harvest]. This terrifying spell could turn an area into a forbidden land for the living in just a few seconds.

However, if the other party were a Great Mage who could cast a fourth-circle spell, then he would have died the moment they exchanged blows!

Then it could only be poison!

Antioch immediately thought of this possibility. For example, the third-circle spell [Poison Domain] could create a large yellow-green poisonous fog with extremely obvious characteristics.

It was obviously too late to cast the divine spell to eliminate the poison.

Furthermore, Lin En would not waste this moment. He immediately used all his remaining mana!

“[Magic Missile Screen]!”

In an instant, a total of 36 [Magic Missiles] floated in the air. Lin En even activated the overload mode for another three seconds and quickly adjusted the trajectories.

Faced with the ” turtle shell ” tactic of Antioch, Lin En didn’t plan to fight him head-on. Instead, he chose to use the flexibility of [Magic Missile] to avoid the most difficult [Holy Barrier] and attack from the weak point, sending this bishop of Nordland to hell in one breath!

After twenty-five years, Antioch once again experienced the feeling of death!

At this moment of life and death, Antioch was extremely calm. He had no doubt that he would die here today, but before that, he could do one more thing-send this young devil believer who had already become a third circle Mage to hell!

“Great Lord of the Stars, Goddess of the Moon, Creator of the Earth and Life, your humble servant hereby makes a prayer and offers up his broken body, begging the projection of the Supreme Lord to descend here…”

Antioch chanted piously. With every line he chanted, his face grew older by a year. His skin began to wrinkle, his white hair fell from his forehead to the corners of his eyes, and his voice became lower and hoarser.

In his trance, it was as if a hymn was echoing in the sealed underground space. It gradually drowned out Antioch’s voice, and soon, the entire space shook violently.

“God… Invocation… Spell?” Lin En was scared out of his wits as he squeezed out this word from between his teeth.

After arriving in this foreign world and learning that the priests of the Church had mastered the true divine art, what he was most worried about and least willing to face was God herself!

An existence that could be called a god could not be underestimated. Even if it was just a projection that could not bear much power, it was enough to kill him with a finger!

If he could beat her, was he still human?

Lin En cursed in his heart and fired the [Magic Missile] that he had already set up. He didn’t even dare to look back to check if Antioch was dead or alive. He jumped into the rapid underground river behind him without hesitation.

The 30-odd [Magic Missiles] flew around the sturdy [Holy Barrier] and landed on the body of Antioch, clashing with a mysterious force.

The successive explosions were like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The underground space that had experienced countless hardships was rapidly disintegrating!

Huge rocks weighing several tons fell from the ceiling and smashed into the ground and the river. They brought with them thick smoke and dust, devouring everything around them.

At this moment, Lin En had already been swept into the rapid current.

As a landlubber who lived in the central region of the Federation all year round, Lin En did not have any experience in swimming. His almost dried-up mana and physical strength deprived him of all the possibility of struggling. He could only rely on the huge inertia to drag his body and float…

However, there was still no trace of worry on Lin En’s face. As a data storage officer in his previous life, he knew very well how a person who did not know how to swim could survive in the torrent.

First, he had to remain calm. This was the foundation of everything. Then, he had to make full use of the buoyancy of the water itself.

As everyone knew, the density of the human body was higher than that of water. This was also the reason why people would gradually sink when they fell into the water.

However, before diving, Lin En had already held his breath. Then, he tried his best to relax his entire body, adjust his center of gravity, and increase the contact area between his body and the water surface in a supine position.

This way, as long as he held his breath and reached a slightly calmer water surface, he would naturally float on the surface.

Based on this theory, Lin En calmly assumed the most standard supine posture. Even though his body was slowly sinking, he did not care. He only thought that it was the influence of the current. However, as he sank deeper and deeper, Lin En started to panic.

Could it be that his backstroke posture was not up to standard?

“071? What’s going on?” Lin En couldn’t help but shout in his mind.

The AI’s notification sounded in the next moment.

” According to the Federal Diving Safety Notice, section 32, newbie swimmers are not allowed to carry heavy objects when practicing diving, sir…”

Lin En lowered his head and looked at the steel sword hanging on his waist. Then, he sank all the way to the bottom of the water.
