Chapter 673 Fallen Jinn
In a blink, a strange, powerful ice elemental energy came from the Fallen Jinn and started spreading in all directions, freezing the water, trees, and plants.
Even more strange was that the [Circle of Invulnerability] defensive spell couldn\'t block the ice energy! The same goes for Nyx\'s defensive spell!
"Alistair! Did you find out anything?" Nyx urged while casting a few more defensive spells to stop the ice energy from entering their bodies.
"I see it now. It has a domain spell related to ice elemental energy, an illusion spell, a strange spell cube that imprisons anyone who touches it, icy blizzard rain with strange poison in it, an ice-storm spell, and finally, an absolute zero domain spell that could even freeze our thoughts."
"So, it\'s indeed an ice-type monster! Who would expect this desert domain\'s boss monster to be a complete ice Jinn?" A grim look appeared on Nyx\'s face.
Upon noticing the grim situation, Charles decided to give them an offer.
"I can freeze its thoughts for a moment. Use that chance to cast any curse-type spell."
"Mind control spell?" Alistair glanced at Charles and spoke while nodding.
"Nyx, use that forbidden curse spell."
"But I must touch the Fallen Jinn with my bare hand to cast it!" Nyx glared at Alistair.
After a short pause, he gritted his teeth in anger and cursed.
"Damn it; you better pay me 20% of the total spoils when we leave the dungeon." Saying so, he suddenly waved his hand, moved away from the defensive shield spells, and faced the mountain of ice elemental energies flooding toward him.
At that moment, Charles looked at Nyx\'s left side and spoke to Nyx telepathically.
\'We are already under its illusion spell. At this moment, it is standing 20 feet away to your left side.\'
Although he didn\'t trust this young man from another world, he heeded his warning and acted swiftly.
As Charles cast the [Burning Thoughts] spell on it and erased its current thought, Nyx used a movement skill and closed the distance between him and the Fallen Jinn in a matter of a second.
By the time the Fallen Jinn woke up from the confused state, Nyx had already arrived before it.
At that moment, he took a wooden staff from his space ring and pointed it toward the Fallen Jinn\'s chest.
A second later, a combination of darkness and mind energy came out of the staff and entered the Fallen Jinn\'s body.
"Fractured Mind," Nyx said coldly and backed away.
With the spell "Fractured Mind" taking effect, the Fallen Jinn\'s previously composed expression twisted into one of agony. Its icy energy began to fluctuate erratically, the spreading ice slowly receding. The elemental energy threatening to freeze everything in its path started dissipating.
The attack would only go in a different direction whenever it tried to regain its rationality and cast its bloodline spells at Charles and others.
Nyx\'s curse had successfully disrupted the Fallen Jinn\'s control over its abilities. The once-unstoppable torrent of ice energy turned into feeble sparks, leaving behind a scene of melting ice and a bewildered creature struggling to regain its focus.
Alistair and Charles stood ready, waiting for any signs of counterattack, but it seemed that Nyx\'s well-timed curse had taken the Fallen Jinn by surprise. The creature stumbled back, its form flickering as if caught between different illusions. Desperation and confusion played across its crystalline features, and it let out a chilling wail that echoed through the frozen landscape.
Utilizing this opportunity, Alistair cast [Galeforce Rush] skill and summoned a powerful gust of wind to propel forward with incredible speed, leaving a trail of swirling currents.
In a second, he arrived before the tall Fallen Jinn, raised his long sword, and covered the edges in a radiant greenish-purple aura!
\'He has almost reached Grandmaster level swordsmanship.\'
A moment later, a powerful aura of wind and thunder energy came as an arc and directly attacked the Fallen Jinn\'s chest, leaving behind a deep wound.
"Back away; it\'s going to use a storm skill!" Charles warned him before he could give the Fallen Jinn more wounds.
With no other choice, he made a backflip and started withdrawing.
"Nyx, tell others to come and join the fight now. Otherwise, we will also be forced into a cornered situation."
As he spoke, he suddenly saw the surrounding wind get fiercer. Not only that, the wind soon surrounded the tall Jinn and started whirling around its body like a tornado.
"Backaway! The wind seems dangerous." Alistair also sensed the danger and grabbed Nyx before backing away further.
At that moment, the tornado became even bigger and released gigantic ice knives in all directions. Each icy blade appeared as big as a person, destroying everything in its path.
Simultaneously, the tornado became gigantic and started reaching the clouds itself.
At this moment, the other members of the True Lords group also arrived and joined the fight.
"Everyone, attack the center of the tornado with everything you got." Alistair shouted as he cast a swirling wind barrier spell around each member and cast another spell called [Lightning Surge].
The next instant, his whole body was empowered with lightning arcs, enchanting his speed and reflexes by multiple folds.
Before others could even blink, he disappeared from where he was and soon arrived closer to the tornado.
Meanwhile, multiple Legend Rank spells came from different directions and were bombarded by the rampaging tornado and the Fallen Jinn.
But surprisingly, the Fallen Jinn managed to avoid most of the fatal attacks due to the whirling tornado, casually raised its icy hand, and received the sword attack from Alistair.
Shockwaves and ripples in the air came from the center of the Oasis as the Fallen Jinn and Alistair engaged in a fierce fight.
As the fight dragged on, Alistair cast a few more wind spells and nullified the gigantic tornado from 11:50
inside.
As the fight dragged on, Alistair cast a few more wind spells and nullified the gigantic tornado from inside.
But what shocked everyone was that even when the Fallen Jinn was fighting Alistair, it found an opening even when it was disoriented and imprisoned two members in hexagonal ice cubes!
After fierce exchanges, the Fallen Jinn released another round of powerful ice-elemental energy, forcing Alistair to retreat.
"I can\'t kill it alone!" He landed right next to Charles and spoke gravely.
"What a powerful Magical Beast!" Charles couldn\'t help but mutter in surprise.
But his attention was soon drawn by Rowan.
"F*ck! I can\'t break this cube! If we don\'t do something, everyone will die." He shouted and attacked the cube with a powerful archery skill.
But even his rank-6 skill left only a scratch.
At that moment, he suddenly heard a voice in his head.
\'Rowan, avoid the attack from the left side in 5 seconds. We are again fallen into its illusion.\'
"Damn it! It broke free from Lord Nyx\'s curse?" Rowan cursed loudly and focused his full attention on his left side. When he felt a slight disturbance in the air, he didn\'t hesitate momentarily and leaped into the sky by jumping forcefully.
At the same time, he observed the path from where the attack came, drew another arrow from his quiver, and placed it on the bow.
The next instant, a powerful surge of wind elemental energy and a bit of space elemental energy fused around the arrow as the arrow released at an incredible speed.
A moment later, the arrow tore the space itself, entered the void, and appeared before the Jinn\'s chest.
A loud painful shrill of a beast echoed as the metallic arrow pierced through its chest and appeared on the other side.
Utilizing this opportunity, Alistair also arrived before the Fallen Jinn and attacked it with a powerful sword attack.
But to his shock, the Jinn\'s body suddenly turned into an ice sculpture and was soon broken into pieces by his attack.
"Where did it go? Is it also have some clone-type ability?" His voice grew solemn.
\'This must be an elemental summon skill to substitute for its body.\' Charles analyzed the surroundings and soon sensed a disturbance behind Nyx.
\'Nyx, bend your body forward and roll down twice.\' He instantly warned his telepathically.
Startled, Nyx didn\'t hesitate and did as Charles told him.
Alas, his movement speed was nowhere near close enough to the Fallen Jinn\'s speed.
When he did the second roll, a sharp two-meter-long spear came from the group and pierced his heart directly.
"ARRGGGG!" A painful scream echoed in the frozen Oasis.
"NO!" Before Alistair could move and help him, Nyx\'s whole body was enveloped in a strange hexagonal ice cube, ultimately imprisoning him.
"Do not panic. We can still save Nyx and others." Charles said in a solemn tone and started giving out orders telepathically.
\'Leif, use your [Venon Cleansing] spell on Evander and protect yourself with the [Radiant Barrier] spell.\'
\'W-Who are you? H-How did you know my spells?\' The man named Leif was deeply startled by Charles\'s words but soon decided to listen to his words.
As Leif was casting two spells, Evander received another order from Charles.
\'Evander, when the Fallen Jinn appears behind Leif and attacks him from behind in three seconds, use your [Gale Blade] spell on it.\'
The same goes for all other members, including Alistair!
Listening to Charles\'s orders attentively made their cooperation more refined.
Thanks to the help, Alaistair found a big opening in ten seconds and cleaved the Fallen Jinn\'s left hand using a skill called [Bladestorm Slash]!
But even that wasn\'t enough to slow down Jinn\'s relentless attacks.
As the battle proceeded, the sky turned completely dark as strange clouds enveloped the surroundings, resulting in icy rain. The surroundings also froze in ice layers, replacing the sandy desert areas.
At the same time, more and more people got hit by the Fallen Jinn attacks and were forced into a cornered position.
"Charles, help me freeze its thoughts for a moment. Otherwise, we might all die here." Alistair felt how naive he had been, thinking that learning about the Fallen Jinn\'s bloodline skills would be enough to win the battle.
"We have yet to see its worst abilities." Just as Charles spoke, another strange ice elemental energy spread to the surroundings and started invading everyone\'s mind.
This time, Rowan was the first to get affected by this strange ability.
"I-I s-e-e-i-n-g s-l-o-w-"
It was the \'Zero Touch\' bloodline spell!
