Run Away

Crackle.

Fine arcs of lightning flowed over Bai Xiaowen's fingertips. The effortless Lightning Strike landed atop Ninja Turtle A and Ninja Turtle B almost simultaneously.

The two melee Ninja Turtles did not pay much attention to the Lightning Strikes above their heads. From the very start, they had classified Bai Xiaowen as a "Summoner" Lord-class profession with some defensive ability. They did not think highly of Bai Xiaowen's offensive capabilities.

After all, a person's energy was limited. Those who invested heavily in Summoned Creatures and Defense Spells were usually weak offensively.

Ninja Turtle A and Ninja Turtle B intended to first deal with the Lord-grade Summoned Creatures blocking their path.

As a result, they immediately suffered a hidden loss.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

With a faint burst of electrical crackling, the Protective Spirit Power surrounding the two melee Ninja Turtles was shattered almost instantly. Residual Electric Force poured into their heads as well.

The two Ninja Turtles were greatly startled. They had never expected those seemingly casual Lightning Strikes to possess such power. Naturally, they did not know that the Silver Throne beneath Bai Xiaowen was a Mid-rank Divine Artifact, a creation of the Demon God, one of the Five Great Gods.

Their Protective Spirit Power had been broken, and their bodies were briefly numbed by the Electric Force. The two Ninja Turtles revealed a short-lived opening.

Across from them, Abaddon and Butcher attacked at once. One swung his Lance, while the other brandished his Kitchen Knife. A thrust and a slash, both charged with Spiritual Power, struck directly at the two Ninja Turtles' Vital Points.

Blood splashed. The two melee Ninja Turtles were sent flying back at the same time, each losing thirty to forty percent of their Health Value.

Compared to Lords of the same level, what Summoned Creatures lacked was Combat Specialization. However, in terms of basic Panel Attributes such as attack, defense, and Spiritual Power, Butcher and Abaddon were no weaker than the two Ninja Turtles with Bai Xiaowen's Personal Skills enhancing them.

Thus, as long as they could hit their opponents, the damage they inflicted would be anything but lacking.

Of course, it was normally not so easy to land a hit. Their success this time was also thanks to the two Ninja Turtles underestimating Bai Xiaowen's Lightning Strikes.

After being injured, the two melee Ninja Turtles found their Spiritual Power circulation affected. They also had to divide their attention to guard against Bai Xiaowen's second sneak attack, leaving them even more Tied Down in combat. For the moment, they could only protect themselves and could not quickly break through Abaddon and Butcher's blockade.

At this point, Ninja Turtle C, the mage-type one, was having an even harder time.

Sigdrifa's individual strength already surpassed that of Lord-grade Evolutionists, not to mention that she had a large group of subordinates with her.

Under the barrage of attacks, the three Magic Shields Ninja Turtle C erected in succession shattered one after another.

He had no choice but to painfully crush a High-tier Defense Spell Scroll. A jade-green Turtle Shell Phantom enveloped his entire body.

Any attack passing through the turtle shell had more than half of its attached Spiritual Power weakened, allowing Ninja Turtle C to barely hold on for the time being.

However, Passive Taking Hits was not a solution. Bai Xiaowen could clearly see the jade-green Turtle Shell Phantom constantly trembling and gradually fading under Sigdrifa and the others' attacks.

"Water Tornado." Ninja Turtle C swung his staff forcefully. Torrents rapidly rose from the great river below, sweeping some of the Summoned Creatures that had failed to dodge into them.

Through the Summoned Creatures caught inside, Bai Xiaowen could clearly sense that the water currents in the Water Tornado possessed an extremely powerful Corrosive Ability. Like Strong Acid, they sought to Corrode and Dissolve all the Alien Creatures within.

The Summoned Creatures' Protective Spirit Power was rapidly depleted. Once it broke, their skeletal frames would find it difficult to withstand such Corrosive Power.

"Among the three Ninja Turtles, this mage-type turtle seems to be the strongest. This should be Water Element Spell Specialization above Master Grade... Even his casual attacks have this kind of power."

Bai Xiaowen swiftly formed hand seals in his mind, then pointed a finger.

Origin Thunder erupted. Fueled by surging Lightning Force, it directly shattered the remaining jade-green Turtle Shell Phantom.

Alarm appeared on Ninja Turtle C's turtle-like face. He swiftly pulled his head back into his shell to avoid the lingering might of the Origin Thunder.

However, under Bai Xiaowen's control, the remaining half of the Origin Thunder's Lightning Force transformed into two lightning serpents that curled downward, striking Ninja Turtle C's wrists from both sides.

With a pained cry, Ninja Turtle C dropped his staff, and the Water Tornado quickly subsided.

Sigdrifa let out a Roar. Gripping the Spirit Matter Spear with both hands, she spun like a Spinning Top and shot forward.

She looked like an incomparably sharp Mechanical Drill.

Ninja Turtle C wanted to cast a Teleportation Spell, but Bai Xiaowen was one step ahead. He activated the Space Lockdown Device and sealed the enemy's Movement Skill.

In his haste, Ninja Turtle C cast a Magic Shield to block the attack, but Sigdrifa's incredibly fast Spiral Electric Drill Spear still broke through it, directly piercing his Chest and Abdomen for an Instant Kill.

This was the tragedy of mage-type Evolutionists. Without powerful Melee Specialization, once an enemy got in their face, if they could not create distance, they could only wait to die.

Of course, Sigdrifa's Spiral Electric Drill Spear was indeed tremendously powerful. Bai Xiaowen had never seen her use that move before.

What a treasure of a girl.

The instant Ninja Turtle C was killed, Bai Xiaowen received notifications.

"You obtained a Punishment Mark (Turtle God *1)."

"You obtained a Grace Mark (Sea God *1)."

"You obtained a Grace Mark (God of Desert *1)."

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. The Sword-shaped Beam on his left wrist, representing punishment, had brightened again, already showing a faint red tint. Meanwhile, a mark representing grace had appeared on his right wrist.

The pattern on the right-wrist mark was a pair of hands raised upward as if offering something.

"It seems killing a Chosen One makes their Deity angry and gives me a Punishment Mark. Then where did the Grace Marks come from?"

The Sea God's mark was understandable. The Sea God and Turtle God were likely enemies. Killing Turtle God's Chosen One had brought glory to the Sea God, making him happy enough to grant a Grace Mark.

But where had the God of Desert's Grace Mark come from? Could he also be an enemy of Turtle God...

Bai Xiaowen set aside that question and continued dealing with Ninja Turtle A and Ninja Turtle B.

When the two melee Ninja Turtles saw their eldest brother, Ninja Turtle C, get easily taken out, they immediately realized that this "Sea God Chosen One" was not someone they could handle.

After exchanging a glance, the two immediately turned around and ran away.

Bai Xiaowen tried to keep one of them behind, but just as the Peaceful Talisman was unleashed, the target transformed into a jade-blue streak of light. Its speed soared, and it vanished beyond the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The other Ninja Turtle plunged headfirst into the river. Bai Xiaowen's Spiritual Power attacks could not even keep up with his escape speed. He could only sense through Spirit Sense that the enemy was fleeing at astonishing speed, all the way to the Boundary Line of this river grid.

Then, at the moment the Ninja Turtle reached the boundary, he unfortunately encountered the moment the Rubik's Cube Grid switched. His head was cleanly sliced off, and his body crashed into the next grid.

Bai Xiaowen chased to the boundary, but all he could see was the Ninja Turtle's Headless Body, stuck motionlessly to the invisible Boundary Line.
