Chapter 120 Infrasonic Attack and Killing
The next morning, Luke had left Pollocksville.
As he got closer to New York, he walked faster and faster, even ignoring the occasional flash of darkness in the crystal ball.
After all, there was no one living nearby, and the range indicated by the crystal ball was a bit too large. There was no clear human settlement as a target, and it would be too time-consuming and energy-consuming to search for a dark monster that was hiding somewhere unknown. If the monster was sleeping in a cave, wouldn't it be necessary to dig up the ground to find it?
Such thoughts flashed through Luke's mind, and he simply put the crystal ball into his [Endless Stomach] and concentrated on his journey.
The accelerator was accelerating, but Luke suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
The sudden sense of crisis made him even more irritated, so he simply parked the car on the side of the road and started looking for the source of this feeling.
Standing under a big tree, Luke took a deep breath and calmed his heartbeat.
The leaves swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound. He closed his eyes, trying to capture the source of that uneasiness.
On his chest, the [Heart of Eternal Emerald Leaf] flickered at a frequency exactly the same as Luke's heartbeat, allowing his mind to regain peace and his perception to become sharper.
The direction behind you!
heaven!
Luke suddenly turned his head and looked up at the sky dotted with morning light.
With the vision enhanced not long ago, even against the sunlight, he still found a hint of disharmony in the sky. A small black dot was flying towards him quickly.
The distance was a bit too far, and Luke couldn't make out the other party's outline from the small black dot. He could only guess based on what he had encountered recently.
Is it the Golden Eagle Lady?
Luke frowned, wondering if there was something wrong with the tree of wisdom.
But judging from his sudden reaction just now, the person who came might have a strong intention to kill him.
Could it be that because the [Heart of Eternal Emerald Leaf] is too precious, the people from Breath of the Wild changed their minds and wanted to kill people to steal the treasure?
The thing has happened, there is no point in thinking too much. Anyway, with the speed of the man in the air, Luke will be able to see the other person's appearance soon.
He took out the [Molten Gold] and the [Spirit Fang] also appeared beside him. With the blessing of the power of the sky, his body became light and his speed doubled. He ran towards the depths of the jungle, trying his best to create more favorable conditions for himself to meet the enemy.
While changing position, Luke also paid attention to observe the movement of the small black dot in the sky.
Sure enough, the opponent was coming towards him and had some ability to lock his position. As the positions of both sides continued to get closer, Luke had even entered the opponent's attack range.
Moloch looked at the crystal ball in his hand and confirmed the direction.
The ant below was the owner of the breath he collected in the God-stealing Formation, and was also the thief who stole the fruits of his labor!
Looking down at the fleeing Luke from the air, Moloch smiled disdainfully. Such a weak man actually dared to steal his things.
But then he changed his mind and thought that a little second-level thing had actually succeeded in ruining his good deeds. The dark wizard's face turned ugly again.
Who are you to steal my things?
He flicked his staff, detached from Nightwing's body, cast a flying spell, and flew towards Luke at normal speed. In front of him, Nightwing, without the restraint of his master, increased his speed by another 30%, closing the distance with Luke at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This mount alone is a level three creature, and the best among the level three. Under the level suppression, it is enough to kill that little thief a hundred times.
It is still unknown whether Nightwing can kill Luke, but it will only take a minute or two for it to catch up with Luke.
Luke ran for a while and found that even if he used all his strength to activate the power of the sky, the distance between the black dot and him was decreasing instead of increasing. At this time, Luke saw that the black dot had a concrete outline. It was pitch black, with a head like a mouse and two huge flesh wings on its sides.
It turned out to be a bat.
After excluding the option of the Golden Eagle Lady in Breath of the Wild, the answer is obvious.
There is only one person who has recently made an enemy of Luke and is still alive and well, with the ability to hunt him down, and that is the Apotheosis Elder Dark Wizard from Jacksonville.
Sure enough, the advantage taken at the beginning had consequences. Even though he had dealt with all aspects that could be considered, the extraordinary world would not talk to you about evidence or logic.
Out to mix, sooner or later have to repay.
Luke roughly estimated the opponent's speed and was afraid that it was two points faster than the peak speed of Fares, the Headless Knight, oh, no, now the Demon Knight.
In this situation, even if Fares is summoned for help, there is no possibility of escape, so he will not be a burden to the other party.
Looking at the bats getting closer and closer, Luke didn't have any good ideas for the time being. He could only run and take things one step at a time.
Bat Nightwing was still in the sky when the attack came down.
As a bat, even though it was already extraordinary, its various abilities still mainly came from its original racial characteristics. For example, at this moment, its mouth slightly opened, revealing its sharp fangs, and an invisible and intangible sound wave spread out from its mouth in circles, attacking Luke.
It was an infrasonic attack with extraordinary effects.
Infrasound waves can travel in the air at a speed of more than 300 meters per second. In just a few seconds, they have silently covered the entire area around Luke's body.
Unlike nerve-type infrasound, the frequency of organ-type infrasound weapons is close to the natural frequency of the human body's internal organs. Surrounded by extraordinary energy, low-frequency infrasound waves have a strong resonance effect with Luke's internal organs, causing his blood vessels to tremble and rupture, and even his internal organs to begin to ache violently. If it had not been strengthened many times, I'm afraid that all his organs would have ruptured and he would have died.
Luke's eyes went dark, and he staggered. He formed a shield with flames and summoned a talisman energy shield to block in front of him. However, the penetrating power of infrasound was extremely strong, and these shields only consumed some of the energy contained in the infrasound when being penetrated, and could not stop the sound wave.
At least he felt a little more comfortable than before. After a moment's delay, the [Heart of Eternal Emerald Leaf] also emitted some healing energy from his chest, which allowed his ruptured blood vessels to recover slightly.
What a troublesome ability, it is impossible to resist and there is no way to fight back.
This is the suppression of the army by the Air Force!
However, the good news is that since there are many scenic spots nearby, there is a body of water not far in front of Luke. Judging from the size, it is a large lake.
According to Luke's experience, sound travels fast in the air with little loss, but when it passes through solids or liquids, it often consumes a lot of energy, which greatly reduces the propagation distance. Jumping into the water should be able to offset most of the hateful sonic attack.
He leaped into the air, and in mid-air, a "bone tooth necklace" appeared on his neck, with the tooth from the pike shining brightly.
After the improvement from the fruit of wisdom, his mental power increased exponentially. Even if he only invested a small amount of mental power, he was able to directly grant himself nearly two hours of [Water Walking Technique].
Throwing himself into the water, under the effect of water walking magic, he seemed to be surrounded by a layer of film. The water around him was pushed away by the film, and surged slightly according to Luke's will, allowing him to move freely even underwater.
This magical film can also filter air from the water, allowing Luke to breathe underwater.
Although it was his first time using it, Luke, who was already good at swimming, quickly adapted to the water walking technique and continued to dive towards the center of the lake.
However, the good times did not last long. Soon, the sonic attack that followed like a shadow became even stronger than before.
Fortunately, Luke's physical fitness, including some of his internal organs, had been strengthened several times by the [Gluttonous Stomach]. In addition, under the stimulation of his injuries, more healing energy flowed out of the [Heart of Eternal Emerald Leaf]. Therefore, Luke was able to hold on.
To be on the safe side, Luke took out the [Life Potion] from the [Endless Stomach], loosened the membrane on his body surface a little, and drank the potion.
This was what he bought at the Extraordinary Bazaar. Also bought together with it was a bottle of [Fake Death Potion] that he hadn't used yet, and it was also lying in the [Endless Stomach].
Although this potion cannot regenerate severed limbs, it is very effective in healing physical wounds and is also very useful for internal injuries. After the potion entered the stomach, it took effect together with the energy of the [Heart of Eternal Emerald Leaf], and Luke's physical condition improved visibly.
Seeing Luke enter the water, Nightwing in the sky sneered in his heart.
Having followed the dark wizard for a long time, it has wisdom no less than that of humans, and its research on infrasound is far more advanced than Luke's. Unlike ordinary sound waves, infrasound has strong penetrating power, and can penetrate even solids or liquids. In fact, in water, the speed of infrasound is five times that in air.
Trying to rely on water to avoid infrasonic attacks is simply courting death.
It increased its energy output, and violent infrasound waves were transmitted to the lake. The originally calm lake surface began to fluctuate, causing high splashes of water. The water droplets fell like pearls and were quickly sucked into the lake.
The fish and other aquatic creatures in the lake felt the disturbance of the infrasound waves. Before they could escape, they died instantly due to the resonance of the sound waves. A large number of their corpses floated on the lake with their bellies turned upside down.
However, Nightwing's mood turned gloomy at this time.
Because only the fish died, Luke was still alive and well underwater.
Damn!
He is clearly just a level two warrior, yet he was able to withstand his own infrasonic attack for so long. Could he be the type of meat shield knight who specializes in physical strengthening and is dedicated to defense and recovery?
Infrasonic attacks are good in every way, with a very long range, low energy attenuation, and basically ignoring armor, but they also have many disadvantages. For example, they deal a small amount of fixed damage multiple times, have low explosive power, and damage enemies mainly through resonance.
If the enemy happens to be a savage who can dismantle mechas with his physical body, then its attack will seem very ineffective.
Sensing his master getting closer, Nightwing hovered in mid-air for a moment. If he waited for his master to arrive, he would not be able to catch the little thief, so his master would need to do it himself.
That's so rude.
Thinking of this, it decided to lean down and maximize the power of the sound waves. After all, it was just a second-level defense enhancer, so what danger could there be?
Nightwing lowered its altitude again and circled over the lake, releasing a large amount of infrasound, stirring the water surface as if it were boiling.
At this time, Luke, who had been diving, had already begun to float up and approached the surface of the lake after discovering that the water could not block the sonic attack.
Originally, with Nightwing's height, he couldn't reach him, and could only attack from a distance, which was relatively dull and ineffective. But the opponent was so arrogant that the air force bombed the ground. I'm afraid he didn't know what it meant to shoot down an airplane with a rifle, right?
Luke maximized the effect of the thin film on his body surface. Like a fish just fired from a cannon barrel, he aimed at the direction where the giant bat was circling and rushed out directly.
"Wow!"
Luke broke through the water.
Under the spiritual vision of [Infrared Vision (Mutation)], the bat's strong spirituality definitely makes it a third-level monster.
As the dark wizard's mount, if we can kill it, wouldn't it be much easier to escape afterwards?
Considering the opponent's nimble figure and Luke's unprecedented speed, he must kill it with one blow, otherwise if he leaves it a little space, his efforts may fail.
During the ascent, Luke converted a large amount of mental power. As soon as he emerged from the water, the shadow of Quetzalcoatl appeared on his body. As his mental power increased, the shadow of the Quetzalcoatl he could summon became more real and powerful, especially the pair of flaming wings, which seemed to have a base made of flesh and blood.
On [Molten Gold], the highly condensed flame has transformed from pure white to blue and white. The surrounding air is burned by the extremely high temperature, presenting a dreamy distortion effect.
The power of the sky was like an omnipresent mountain, pressing evenly on every inch of Nightwing's skin. The sky rejected it, and no matter how hard it flapped its pair of flesh wings, it could not rise at all.
It was not known for its physical strength to begin with, and at this moment it was directly crushed to the point where it could no longer maintain its flying posture and began to fall straight down.
Luke had previously defeated the strong with the weak and hunted down several third-level monsters. After being strengthened by the fruit of wisdom, even if he does not use hot weapons, he is not inferior to the third-level monsters simply by relying on his extraordinary abilities.
In the face of the opponent's contempt, he burst out with all his strength and controlled the dark bat tightly, while the power of the sky drove his body closer and closer.
Anxious, Nightwing had to increase the output of the infrasound again, but due to the characteristics of the infrasound itself, although Luke was also seriously injured, the burst of these injuries was insufficient, and before the injuries could accumulate into serious injuries, most of them were healed by potions and the [Heart of Eternal Emerald Leaf].
Luke endured the infrasound and rushed towards the falling bat. The molten gold blue-white flame in his hand shone brightly and easily broke the bat's head, splitting it in two.
dead!
The infrasound waves dissipated, and this messenger of darkness that roamed the sky fell silently in Luke's hands.
