The second extermination of the Black Prison Giant Spirit began.
This time, Manjusaka and Xing Yu were on standby, while the other five members presided over the Zero-order magic.
Of course, before utilizing Zero-order magic, a certain small fry acting as bait needed to perform.
“No problem, we can begin!” Luo Zining signaled toward Manjusaka.
She constantly comforted herself; she had done this once before, and with that prior experience, this time would surely be fine.

[That Jin Lin guy is watching too… I can’t make a fool of myself…] Luo Zining thought to herself.
Then, the light of divine particles burst forth from her body.
Watching from a distance, Luo You saw that silver light with its off-the-charts aggro-attracting effect. His urge to rush up and give this rebellious daughter two solid elbows grew increasingly intense.
“Buzz—!”
The Black Prison Giant Spirit moved—with its sky-blotting volume, any slight movement it made was vast and terrifying. Even Luo You, seeing a Light-Snatching rank dimensional beast for the first time, felt a sense of shock.
As the saying goes, one can judge the whole from a glimpse; by seeing the Black Prison Giant Spirit through a first-person perspective, Luo You could gain a clearer understanding of the even more powerful Black Candle Giant Spirit.
“The Light-Snatching rank truly is an existence completely different from the Dragon rank…” Luo You was caught in his reflections just as Luo Zining fell into a bitter struggle.
Swoosh!
A black gale whipped across the sky. Luo Zining used temporary teleportation magic to shuttle back and forth, escaping death by a hair’s breadth under the hands of the Black Prison Giant Spirit several times.
[No problem, I can do this! As long as I follow the previous method, I can contend with the Black Prison Giant Spirit!]
After several dodges, Luo Zining’s confidence gradually built up.
The thing she had been terrified of before now seemed like something she had somewhat adapted to.
A hint of excitement emerged from Luo Zining’s nervous emotions.
In truth, the threat of the Black Prison Giant Spirit came from its sheer physical presence. As long as she relocated in time before it arrived, nothing would happen.
Though it was terrifying and possessed a massive volume, it was ultimately just an empty shell without self-awareness. It had a body of powerful strength but could only perform basic attacks.
“Estimated distance… 5km. Time to relocate. The next teleportation array is… Huh!?”
In the tight rhythm of high-intensity combat, what is the most terrifying thing?
Just as Luo Zining was preparing to evacuate, she discovered that the temporary teleportation magic there was damaged. The cause of the damage was unknown, likely caused by the previous movements of the Black Prison Giant Spirit.
“Ha!? No way? At a time like this??”
Luo Zining went cold all over in an instant. Turning her head, the Black Prison Giant Spirit was still 4km away from her, but the black clouds extending from its body had already descended like arms covering the sky.
Time to repair the magic? None.
Escaping with her own speed? Impossible.
“You’ve got to be kidding me!?”
Ù¡Ù Ù Ù
At this time, Xing Yu and the others also noticed the situation there, but they were originally stationed far away and could not possibly make it in time.
Luo Zining used every defensive magic she had learned to make a final struggle.
The Black Prison Giant Spirit’s attack was grand and surging, joining together like clouds. When the seemingly light black clouds approached, they felt as if they were infused with billions of tons of weight, forcing the defensive magic Luo Zining had exerted with all her might to falter before even being touched, shattering layer by layer like a countdown.
Her wide-open eyes were full of unwillingness.
She thought she was going to put on a show in front of Jin Lin, but as it turned out, she was going to get herself killed by playing around!
“Idiot, get lost.”
Her shoulder was pushed aside brutally by a force, and a bright gold round shield with intricate floral patterns instantly unfolded.
—!!!!!
A super-intense sensation of vibration followed, as if enduring the impact of thousand-meter ocean waves inside a glass dome, or as if every volcano in the world was erupting. The entire world was swaying.
In her panic, Luo Zining glanced at the figure standing in front of her.
“…Jin Lin?!”
“Let’s go!”
This terrifying scene didn’t last long. Luo You grabbed the opening and quickly fled with Luo Zining in tow.
Just as Luo Zining was still a bit dazed, Luo You said expressionlessly, “Keep drawing aggro!”
“Oh, oh!”
Luck was better this time. With one taunt, the main body of the Black Prison Giant Spirit was lured out.
Immediately after, the clamor of Zero-order magic suppressed all the noise in the world. Besides the grand melodic chapters, nothing else could be heard by the ears.
Luo You carried the rebellious daughter ten kilometers away and then threw her forcefully onto the ground.
“That hurts! Did you intentionally throw me toward the rocks?!” Luo Zining snapped subconsciously.
Luo You ignored her dissatisfaction and rebuked her: “Idiot, did you think that because you succeeded once before, you could do it again this time? That kind of arrogance is enough to cost you your life!”
Luo Zining froze. Her current self established a neural link with her self from dozens of seconds ago, and her memories were shared.
Oh… she had just escaped death…?
“Heh!?”
Luo Zining shuddered violently, and her breathing became rapid.
Right, right!? She almost died just now!
The one who saved her was… Jin Lin??
“Do you want me to give you an elbow to wake you up?” Luo You asked, raising his arm.
Luo Zining stared at her blankly and asked, “You, why were you there? By chance?”
Even the seniors of the Ten Seats hadn’t predicted this; why did she…
“Would you even understand if I told you?”
Luo You looked at her sideways, his disdain as if looking at small fry. “What looked to you like a coincidental support involved high-level techniques and predictions of the situation. There’s no way vomit brewed from kitchen trash like you could understand.”
“What—!”
“Huh? What, do you have some grounds to talk back?”
“My apologies, none at all.”
Luo You snorted. “If you can’t adapt to or solve unexpected situations, you aren’t a qualified front-line combatant.”
Then Luo You left her behind, going to a quiet place to watch the Zero-order magic on his own.
Luo Zining stared for a long time at the place where she had just escaped death.
She had too many things she wanted to ask Jin Lin.
She recalled the sensation of the golden hair tips brushing against her cheek when Jin Lin stood in front of her.
H-Holy crap, this Jin Lin…!
Luo Zining’s face turned red.
The filter through which she viewed Jin Lin changed. With the support of this new filter, she felt that no matter how she looked at Jin Lin, he was pleasing to the eye.
Eh? Eh!? This shouldn’t be happening, right? This can’t be right!? Eh—
Meanwhile, Luo You was performing a summary.
“Every basic attack is a full-screen AOE, combined with immortality and indestructibility—he’s definitely a combination of a stat-monster and a mechanic-monster…”
The Three Worlds Ten Directions Pure Land had been broken.
It was burst from the pressure. Out of desperation, Luo You had secretly used the parry-counter mechanism of the Three Worlds Ten Directions Pure Land to force the Black Prison Giant Spirit to withdraw its hand early so he could retreat with Luo Zining.
It felt even more vicious than the Gluttonous Giant Spirit.
Luo You discovered that if he were to go up and collide head-on with the Black Prison Giant Spirit for real, he might truly have no way to deal with the fellow for a while. It was mainly because the Black Prison Giant Spirit was too large; there was no place to land a blow.
However, the high-damage buff of divine particles against dimensional beasts seemed to still work against Light-Snatching rank dimensional beasts.
In just a single brief exchange, Luo You had gained quite a few results.
‘If it were replaced by the Black Candle Giant Spirit…’
Luo You frowned.
The level of trouble the Black Candle Giant Spirit posed was far beyond his imagination!
