Chapter 488 Black Hole Opening
Holding onto their trump card, they'd been holding back for far too long...
Originally, out of necessity, the stingy Lorraine was reluctant to use the artifact's ultimate move...
After all, of the two deadly ultimate abilities described in the Mirror of Truth, [Shadow Barrier] is explicitly stated to be a low-powered version of the Void Tyrant's finishing move, and should be used with caution by the wearer. According to the description, Shadow Barrier is essentially a true mana black hole...
The original version of the Void Black Hole was so powerful that Lorraine dared not release it lightly just from the description...
Shadow Barrier
(These two effects cannot be activated simultaneously: Holy Aura and Divine Aura)
Consumes half of the user's health and mana... When activated, it forms a continuously rotating mana black hole, devouring all tangible energy... including health, mana, elemental damage, etc.
Lasting 30 minutes...
Once activated, all targets trapped in the black hole are unable to move!
Regardless of friend or foe!
Once activated, it cannot be deactivated... until it completely devours all living things within a 30-meter radius...
Annihilate everything!
......
Creating a void node has a certain probability of forming a rift to the other world... The destination of the rift is random.
As the effects of the Creator's Gift increase—that is, as more essence of the ancient gods' bodies are collected—the black hole's range and energy absorption capacity multiply...theoretically, it can grow indefinitely...until it engulfs everything around it...
......
"A low-powered version of the Void Tyrant's finishing move...use with caution, wearer!"
This warning kept flashing through my mind... reminding the master and apprentice that their ultimate attack was extremely dangerous, indiscriminately annihilating everything in its path... Once activated, it would devour countless things within thirty minutes...
It feels even more powerful than the Void Demon's black water...
After the mana black hole was truly activated, the actual situation seemed somewhat different.
......
The location where it's now activated is some distance from the arrogant, faceless being that transformed into a third-stage blue void bone demon... Lorraine chose to activate it now for two reasons: firstly, she had no choice, and secondly, she seemed to see several unfortunate souls on the shore already being caught by the black water...
The Sunreavers were members of the elite Terran squad who had fought alongside him before. One of their dragonhawk riders had even used the forbidden arcane art of Divine Interference to save him... He watched as the injured dragonhawk named 'Ballball' was placed on a small boat and dragged by three blood elf men, who, despite their best efforts, could not move the massive dragonhawk quickly enough...
Even though the small boat was modified into a makeshift ice sled...
The speed of the black water exceeds that of the tides...
In desperation, Rayleigh didn't care about anything else and grabbed Britney and Blankard, running away first... Crimson Officer, Pure One Jordan, and Light Blade Herold caught up and reached the shore first...
Only the three members of the Sunreaver squad and the wounded Dragonhawk were about to be swallowed by the black water...
Lorraine was positioned relatively high, but the Blood Knight, Elf Ranger, Spellbreaker, and Dragonhawk Ball had already been engulfed by the black water... Even Rayleigh and the others were more than half-swallowed, with only two Crimson Warriors managing to escape...
The black water was expanding outwards, about to engulf the soldiers and Rayleigh and the others, when a force pulled it back rapidly... Rayleigh and the other two, who had already been half-swallowed, were spat out again. However, these three lucky humans seemed to have been directly overwhelmed by some force this time, collapsing directly into the icy water...
The surrounding rescue soldiers immediately rushed over to help them away, while Jordan and Hernold on the shore were panting heavily, still shaken... The two subconsciously kept their distance from the people of Southsea Town... even though they were currently allies.
Even allies, when faced with life and death, fleeing is still the first choice...
Lorraine released the Shadow Barrier, but the Sunreavers and the dragon eagle were still swept away by the black water... The nearby ice had already melted under the sunlight, and people could not stand on the sea. The survivors of the Sunreavers still could not escape.
Lorraine could only watch from afar as his old friend disappeared. At that moment, he released the [Shadow Barrier], losing half of his life force and magic power... He also needed to leave quickly!
A black hole is expanding rapidly, visible to the naked eye...swallowing everything in its path...
Lorraine even sensed that the legendary spatial rift, the spatial node where glass shattered layer by layer, was about to appear!
......
Half-reduced magic power was nothing, but half-reduced life force made Lorraine experience a dual weakness of soul and body for the first time. For a long time, even after his resurrection and awakening as a Forsaken, and despite several brushes with death before, he had never felt this kind of weakness in body and soul...
Like a patient suffering from a chronic illness, Lorraine found it difficult to raise his hands, move his body, or mobilize his magic... as heavy as if he had been trapped in the eerie black water... In fact, he was instinctively trying to escape the danger.
Fortunately, after the Shadow Barrier devoured half of his mana and life force, the tiny black dot wasn't very large at first, only sucking away anything that touched it... The black water and everything around it were pulled apart, and Lorraine had to leave the original point within a minute...
The suction force of the mana black hole grew stronger and stronger, even pulling back the massive tomb ruins that had been submerged in the black water realm beneath his feet... Everything that touched it was destroyed... Lorraine suddenly regretted it; was it really necessary to release this shadow barrier...?
It feels even more dangerous than Blackwater!
......
The black hole was expanding, and anything sucked into it couldn't escape. Lorraine barely made it past the edge, desperately teleporting away... towards the jade mine near the sea...
He had already sensed that the [Shadow Barrier] activated by the Realm of Truth was definitely more powerful than the Faceless Ones' black water...
This is just the beginning. In five minutes, if that damned void demon stands still, it won't escape being sucked into the black hole and pulverized...
Only Lorraine and his apprentice knew the true power of a black hole.
Others could only see a peculiar tidal phenomenon... The previously dangerous black water began to rapidly surge back towards Atonement Island, and a black sphere was spinning at high speed, absorbing the black water and the surrounding rootless objects.
In reality, a collapsing singularity is destroying everything in its path that is close to it, forming a tangible structure.
......
The 30-meter range wasn't large; Lorraine estimated that 30 meters was a safe distance. After observing, he regretted his hasty decision to open the black hole... Now, not only could he not escape, but he also needed a plan to eliminate a powerful enemy...
Otherwise, those who lack face will face endless troubles...
Let more people know about Lorraine's secret technique... If you fail to defeat the enemy and have already revealed your ultimate move, hastily exposing such a move would definitely cause you a lot of trouble.
This is why Lorraine has been holding back from using this move.
......
Fortunately, when the arrogant void demon realized something was wrong, its tiny red dot, like curious eyes, stood there foolishly observing the distant black hole...
Its location isn't within the black hole's area... but it's not too far away... less than 20 meters, because it occupies the dungeon entrance, situated at a high point...
It sensed the presence of its kind within the tiny black hole; the power of the shadow barrier released by Lorraine was multiplying at an incredible rate...
At first, the black hole's power was not great; it was very weak, far inferior to the Void Demon. However, the black hole grew at an astonishing rate, sucking up its black liquid in less than half a minute... Once its all-consuming black liquid entered the ever-growing black hole, it could not escape...
The loss of the black water drained the energy the Void Demon had painstakingly accumulated... and an unknown being of the same kind was devouring its power...
It seems to be at a high level...
It had a bit of a Void Lord vibe about it... The Void Demon curiously examined the black hole, which was getting closer and closer to the Faceless One's core...
Seizing the opportunity, Lorraine mustered his courage, teleported behind the Void Demon, and with all his might, kicked it hard in the rear... He wanted to kick this terrifying threat into his calculated range...
