I, the Weakest Human, Start with a Hundredfold Bonus Talent?

Chapter 108 - 108-Fierce Battle with Betrayal (Part 2)

In an instant, a green wind surged!

Lily felt her feet lighten, and before she knew it, she was soaring a hundred meters into the sky!

"E... Exiled Immortal?"

"Don't zone out! At times like this, a moment's distraction could cost you your life!" Exiled Immortal sighed with relief, his long hair gradually turning from black to green, blending with the surrounding wind!

Seeing this, John also let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Exiled Immortal reacted in time to save Lily; otherwise, that single strike would have been enough to kill her!

"You dodged it, but it doesn't matter. You were never my target anyway."

[Betrayal] wasn't discouraged by the missed attack.

He immediately turned and charged at John!

Seeing this, John waved his hand, summoning a giant carnivorous plant from the ground, its blood-red maw lunging at [Betrayal]!

However, in the face of the searing flames, the plant turned to ash in an instant. John had nowhere to retreat!

"Do you believe I can dodge this strike?"

"Do you think you can deceive me with [Deception]'s tricks? Dream on!"

[Betrayal] sneered, unwavering.

But at that moment, John's voice sounded from behind.

"But I already dodged it."

"How is that possible?"

[Betrayal] turned to see a voice tube, repeatedly echoing the same phrase.

However, in that brief distraction, John managed to escape from the seemingly fatal strike!

"I never said I was going to use [Deception]'s tricks."

John smirked, looking mockingly at [Betrayal], who finally realized what had happened and laughed.

"Illusions and reality... It seems you've truly learned from [Deception]. But unfortunately, against absolute power, all such petty tricks are meaningless."

"Not necessarily."

A hexagram lit up, and the summoning spell was cast again.

The mana John had painstakingly recovered was drained instantly, leaving him feeling weak and nearly fainting.

In just one hour, John had cast three summoning spells in succession.

The mana consumption was one thing, but the expenditure of mental energy was beyond what any ordinary person could endure.

It was thanks to his training as an Alchemist, regularly performing alchemical rituals day and night, that John's mental power far exceeded that of normal people.

Otherwise, he would have been drained dry after the second summoning spell.

The offering was consumed, and a bright orange flame flashed from the hexagram, gradually taking human form.

This time, the monster John summoned was only level 45, an unavoidable drawback.

Despite its lower level compared to [Betrayal], this monster had an unbeatable characteristic.

Being a pure fire element creature, it was nearly immune to all fire damage, including the white-blue flames used by [Betrayal]!

"Hold him down!"

"You've got quick thinking, but trickery won't help you. Even if I can't extinguish a pure fire elemental, so what? It can't stop me either!"

[Betrayal] sneered, his eyes full of contempt.

"No, just holding you for a moment is enough!"

John smirked and looked up to the sky, which had turned a greenish-blue.

A tornado, carrying debris, swept across the sky like a natural disaster!

At the eye of the storm, Exiled Immortal was pushing himself to the limit, draining all his stamina to keep the tornado going for as long as possible.

Lily, clinging to his back, continuously cast blessings to enhance the tornado's power and replenish Exiled Immortal's stamina.

"I was just a decoy. They are the main force."

"John, move out of the way!" Elaria pointed at John, and vines instantly wrapped around his waist, flinging him out of Exiled Immortal's attack range.

The entire tornado then crashed into [Betrayal] without any reservation!

The white-blue flames were torn apart and extinguished upon contact with the tornado.

For the first time, [Betrayal]'s expression changed.

He had thought that at this stage, no one could stop him.

But now, it was clear that things were far beyond his expectations!

The terrifying power Exiled Immortal displayed shocked [Betrayal]!

He knew this was just the early to mid-stage of the game.

If Exiled Immortal was given two years to grow, as in the previous life, he might indeed be able to confront [Betrayal] head-on!

With this realization, [Betrayal] squinted and became more determined.

He absolutely could not let these people leave alive!

Blessed by the [Gods], if they were given time to grow, they would inevitably become Demigod tier beings. By then, it would be too late to stop them!

With this thought, [Betrayal] held nothing back.

The flames covering his body turned from white-blue to orange-red, the temperature rising again.

The tornado controlled by Exiled Immortal was tinged with orange-red!

The scorching waves spread out like ripples, and Exiled Immortal, at the center of the storm, suddenly tensed up.

Just a moment ago, he could barely use the wind field to extinguish the flames, but now the tables had turned.

[Betrayal]'s flames were growing more intense with the help of the wind field, even burning Exiled Immortal and Lily at the center of the storm!

"Break the wind field and get out!"

Seeing his ultimate move turned against him and nearly out of his control, Exiled Immortal made a swift decision, forcibly tearing open a gap in the tornado and escaping with Lily!

But what greeted them was a flaming spear that appeared instantly like a streak of light!

"[Class Skill: Undying Fury]"

A figure appeared just in time, shielding Exiled Immortal and Lily.

The spear pierced through the armor with ease, leaving a gaping, glowing wound in the abdomen!

Under the searing flames, Qing's wound was cauterized instantly, preventing any blood from spilling.

Qing survived this nearly fatal blow by sheer will and his class skill!

As his HP rapidly dwindled, Qing gritted his teeth, pushing Exiled Immortal and Lily away and using the momentum of the spear to fling himself dozens of meters back!

"Qing!"

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet! But I won't last much longer."

Struggling to his feet, Qing glanced at his abdominal wound, the excruciating pain hitting him.

His class skill had locked his HP at one point.

Though it would only last for less than thirty seconds, if he could heal his injuries and restore his HP after the skill ended, there was still a chance to survive.

Qing had intended to use this skill as a game-changer, given that the ten-day cooldown would essentially take him out of the fight.

But under these circumstances, he had no room for hesitation!

Without a moment's hesitation, Lily and Elaria simultaneously cast healing spells.

Qing's abdominal wound healed rapidly before their eyes, and his HP quickly restored to full.

But without the Undying Fury skill, the situation reached another stalemate!

"John, have you noticed something?"

At that moment, the usually silent Helena spoke up, pointing to the flaming footprints behind [Betrayal].

She said seriously, "I've been observing this. Everywhere he steps, the footprints keep burning, even in Exiled Immortal's storm. How can rocks burn?"

Hearing this, John's eyes lit up as a breakthrough suddenly came to his mind.

No wonder! John had felt something was off but couldn't pinpoint it.

As an [Apostle], they needed a host to fully manifest their powers in this world. This had been proven more than once.

[Deception] had also mentioned that their existence was intolerable in this world, and to avoid being erased by certain entities, they required a host.

But clearly, [Betrayal] did not have a host at this moment.

S.'s corpse had been almost completely shattered into a blood mist, with only the lower half remaining on the ground. How was [Betrayal] exerting such power?

As thoughts raced through his mind, John had a moment of clarity.

He saw a pattern hidden in the flaming footprints, connecting S.'s remains to [Betrayal].

John understood instantly!

It was [Betrayal]'s overwhelming intimidation that made John overlook this crucial fact.
