Although he had created so many marvelous little spells, when it came to sheer power, none could beat Soul Explosion.
Soul Explosion was practically tailor-made to transform sacrificed souls into destructive force.
Its one drawback was that... it was slow.
It took too long to cast, making it easy for others to dodge.
But now...
He could hide a fully prepared Soul Explosion inside a corpse, then trigger it as the enemy attacked!
Boom!
A massive crater, five hundred meters in radius, blasted open!
Lu Cang had already put some distance between himself and the blast. From afar, he watched soul-light soar into the sky as a corpse with broken wings plummeted toward the ground.
Hmm.
It worked pretty well.
He was already devious enough, able to use Death Substitute again and again.
And now, after Death Substitute switched in a corpse, that corpse could conceal a spell too. It was deviousness piled on deviousness.
And the hidden spell could even be Soul Explosion, which took a long time to cast.
Lu Cang had to admit, he was very pleased.
Winning through brains and strategy—now that was how a mage should fight.
With the Blood-Piercing Needle Bee dealt with, nine were left...
The rest of the lesser monsters had mostly been cleared out.
Lu Cang frowned as a sudden, stabbing pain struck his mind.
A mental attack that covered a wide area.
A wave of dizziness washed over him.
"Brother Chicheng... sorry for the trouble. Help me deal with that one."
Whoosh!
The moment Lu Cang finished speaking,
the pain sweeping through his mind vanished.
He looked up and saw that the monster in the distance, towering like a gigantic flower with countless eyes growing in the center of its bloom, had been sliced into countless pieces.
"Thanks!"
