Chapter 56: Perhaps… I Have An Idea
“Seventeen more are dead…”
Chen Feng said in a low voice.
It seemed that Mark’s entrance had activated the boogie traps in this area.
Dark clouds continued to float above the bronze door. Thunder roared and struck, turning the thousand-square-meter area into a fatal zone.
“Gaotian Plains…the Arcane Realm of Lightning!”
Chen Feng came here with the goal to find some thunder-type skills. When the right time came, Chen Feng would collect all the magical elements of the nine attributes and become a Heaven Enlightenment Mage.
Right then, the lightning finally appeared in front of Chen Feng.
Unfortunately, the first flash of lightning blocked Chen Feng’s path.
“Are there any Awakened Ones with lightning-type skills?”
Not far away, a tall man shouted out loud.
Since there was a lightning barrier between them, it was only natural for them to place all their hopes Awakened Ones with lightning-type skills.
Perhaps…the lightning would not attack them.
Soon, a warrior walked out.
There was a giant shield that was taller than a man in his hands whereas there was a battle ax that flashed with lightning in his right hand.
He was obviously a thunder-type warrior.
“Tokio Higashino, be careful!” His companions warned him from behind.
“Don’t worry.”
Tokio Higashino raised his head and looked at the thunderclouds in the sky. He took a deep breath.
The lightning’s power was extremely terrifying. He was not confident in himself.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Nobody knew how heavy the shield in his hand was, but the iron boots on his feet would make a dull sound when they touched the ground with every step he took.
Finally, he stepped into the restricted zone ahead.
The thunderclouds in the sky started stirring up violently. Lightning gathered and tore through the sky!
A silver line split the world in half.
It landed heavily on Tokio Higashino in a split second.
However, he was prepared for the impact. He hid under the huge shield in an attempt to block himself from the lightning.
His efforts seemed to be effective.
Unlike the Awakened Ones who had been reduced to ashes, Tokio let out a loud roar. Even though everyone could notice the ferocious expression on his face, he was still trying his best to hold on!
Chen Feng’s furrowed brows finally relaxed a little after watching this scene unfold.
The lightning could be stopped. This was good news.
Tokio Higashino’s body was bathed in lightning. Even his skin sparkled with lightning.
Everyone could tell how much pain he was in from the look on his face.
Soon, someone recognized the shield in Tokio’s hand.
“This is…a Barrier Shield! It’s a Purple Quality weapon! It can reduce any elemental damage by 30%!”
A few seconds after the lightning struck, a loud sound rang out in the horizons.
The lightning became weaker and gradually dissipated beside Tokio.
The bronze door fell into darkness once again.
“He survived!”
“He didn’t die from the lightning strike!”
“We have hope now!”
The team of Awakened Ones cheered loudly.
Tokio Higashino slowly got up and staggered forward. He almost fell to the ground as his body swayed.
Although there were many burn marks on his body, he was still alive.
He proved to everyone that the lightning in the sky was not invincible through his actions.
Tokio managed to survive the lightning thanks to the 30% elemental damage reduction of the [Barrier Shield], coupled with his high Health Points, high Defense Points, and Thunder Damage Immunity!
“No, it’s not over yet.”
Chen Feng stopped the teammate beside him and looked at the sky with a serious expression on his face.
The thunderclouds were yet to dissipate!
As expected, amidst the cheers of the crowd, another flash of lightning shot out from the dark clouds and instantly covered half of the sky. The streaks of electricity condensed into a dazzling bolt of lightning.
Slash!
The rumbling thunder suppressed the cheers of the humans and caused the entire world to fall silent.
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck down. It completely enveloped Tokio Higashino. The faint smell of burnt flesh lingered in the air.
Everyone turned to look ahead in shock.
The second bolt of lightning struck less than three seconds after the first bolt.
They were three to four hundred meters away from the bronze door.
Regardless of how fast he moved, he had to endure at least three to five lightning attacks.
If he fell down halfway, he would definitely die!
After careful consideration, Chen Feng realized something scarier.
They would not be able to open the door to Gaotian Plains just by passing through the minefield.
Mark had sacrificed his life to tell everyone this-
This door could not be pushed open!
Therefore, even if they passed through the minefield, how should they open the door?
…
“Ah!!!”
A furious roar came from the figure bathed in lightning, and the voice gradually grew weaker.
Tokio Higashino was at the end of his lifeline. He could not hold on much longer.
The lightning gradually dissipated, leaving behind some charred remains.
It belonged to Tokio.
His left arm was already broken. He could not support the gigantic shield anymore.
The [Barrier Shield] lay quietly on the ground. Everyone could still see the metallic luster on the shield.
The battle ax also landed by his feet.
Tokio Higashino did not even have the strength to speak. His charred body fell heavily to the ground and turned into charcoal-like pieces.
The lightning converged. It did not strike again.
However, the terrifying and violent energy was still gathered in the clouds above him.
It had never dissipated!
For a long time, no one spoke. The group of hundreds remained silent.
Tokio’s sudden death shocked everyone even more than the seventeen people who had been previously struck to death!
The deaths of the seventeen people had happened before everyone’s eyes all of a sudden. They had been caught off guard.
However, Tokio was different.
Everyone could clearly see his distorted expression in the lightning and hear his furious roar. They could smell his burnt flesh as well.
After experiencing hope, they fell into despair.
Everything was so realistic. Not only did the dark clouds cover the sky above the bronze gate, but they also shrouded everyone’s hearts.
This thundercloud made people feel despair. They could not find a way out of this!
The door to the mystic realm of Gaotian Plains was right in front of them, but they could not push it open.
After a moment of indefinite silence…
Finally, someone took a step forward.
“Cough cough…Perhaps I might have an idea,” Chen Feng coughed lightly and snapped his fingers in the air.
A dazzling magic summoning circle appeared in front of him. A snow-white pegasus with wings on its back slowly stepped out in the holy light.
It was Pegasus Pagasos!
