Chapter 882 No way
This time, Yun unleashed his full power without holding back; his attack was as swift and precise as lightning. He silently prayed that this strike would kill Lishwim outright. If he couldn't kill him, he hoped to at least severely injure him, giving Yun a chance to extract more valuable information from Lishwim.
Despite Rishwim's incredible speed, Cloud knew his patterns inside and out. He knew Rishwim would definitely be eyeing the fifth gem, and that Rishwim would rush to snatch it without hesitation the moment it appeared. Therefore, Cloud was full of confidence in his attack; he was certain he could hit his target.
However, something unexpected happened. A crisp "clang" rang out, the sound of metal clashing echoing in the empty hall. Yun stared in astonishment at the scene before him; he never expected that his all-out attack would have caused Lishwim so little harm.
It's worth noting that before this, although Yun's attack wasn't at full strength, it had still managed to leave a wound on Lishwim. But now, this full-force strike was like hitting an incredibly hard wall, producing only a crisp impact sound before nothing more happened.
What shocked Yun even more was that the golden sphere that Lishwim had transformed into was not only not knocked away, but instead rushed toward Baal's corpse at an even faster speed.
Cloud's anger burned fiercely; he realized he had been outmaneuvered by Rishwim once again. Rishwim clearly possessed the strength to withstand his attacks, yet he feigned weakness from the start, leading Cloud to misjudge his power. Although Cloud didn't completely believe Rishwim's feigned weakness, he was ultimately deceived by his pretense.
However, this time Yun was not unprepared. The moment he shouted "Charge!", he seemed to feel a powerful force surge into his body, instantly increasing his speed. Like having an accelerator activated, he sped past like lightning, rapidly closing the distance between himself and the golden sphere.
Because the golden ball was flying at an extremely high speed, the cloud was even carried away by it for a distance during the chase.
"You!" Lishwim's voice revealed obvious fear. He had clearly not expected Yun to catch up so quickly, especially since Yun's speed was far beyond his comprehension.
Yun wouldn't give Lishwim any chance to breathe. He roared, "Deadly Strike!" This was the explosion of his pent-up anger, and a severe lesson he would teach Lishwim.
As the cloud's attack landed, a "clang" rang out, the sound of metal colliding once more. However, this impact was clearly different from before; the golden ball's trajectory shifted, and although its speed remained high, it no longer flew in a straight line as before.
Yun's figure flashed out like lightning, instantly creating distance between himself and the golden sphere. However, the sphere was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to disappear from sight again. Seeing this, Yun did not hesitate to use his teleportation skill, his figure moving like a ghost to the vicinity of the sphere.
“You!” Lishwim’s voice was filled with horror and disbelief. He clearly hadn’t expected Cloud to catch up with the ball so quickly. This time, his tone wasn’t just terrified, but also trembled slightly, as if what Cloud had done was completely beyond his imagination.
Yun naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He roared, "Storm Strike! Whirlwind Slash!" As his voice fell, a powerful energy suddenly erupted, sweeping towards the golden sphere like a violent whirlwind.
"Clang! Clang!" Two crisp metallic clangs echoed throughout the space as the small ball trembled violently under the fierce attack of the clouds. Although on the surface, the golden ball did not seem to have suffered much damage, its flight trajectory had clearly deviated, and its original target, which was pointing at Baal's corpse, had been far off course.
"You little brat, let's see you show off!" Seeing this, Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of smugness. He arrogantly mocked the little ball while continuing his relentless attack.
However, the sprint effect quickly wore off, and the cloud's speed slowed down as well. Nevertheless, he still managed to launch four attacks on the ball in that short period of time, each one as powerful as a thunderbolt, slamming heavily onto the ball.
Under the relentless onslaught of the clouds, the golden ball finally succumbed and was violently sent flying, crashing into the wall with a muffled thud before coming to a standstill.
Yun Ke vowed that he would never make the same mistake again! No matter what Lishwim was like now, he would rush up without mercy and cripple Lishwim. He would show no mercy whatsoever!
Just as Yun Ke was feeling smug, something unexpected happened—the golden ball seemed to have eyes and burrowed directly into the wall behind him! Yun Ke's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He couldn't understand how a hole could suddenly appear in the wall.
Despite his reluctance, Yun Ke rushed to the hole, which was only the size of his head, without hesitation. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily into the hole, "Lishwim, if you're so brave, don't hide in there! Weren't you pretty brave just now? You even ran out, so why are you scared to continue? Keep going! There's only one left, we'll have it all soon. If you don't take it, I'll take it all!"
However, Lishwim inside the cave seemed somewhat nervous. He stammered, "You... what did you just do? How did you become..."
"What did I do to deserve this deception? Don't I even have the right to hide my true strength?" Yun glared at Lishwim, his anger seemingly about to erupt.
However, Lishwim didn't seem to care, and even had a smug smile on his lips. He slowly replied, "So what? No matter how much you hide your strength, you still can't get in here."
Upon hearing this, Yun trembled with rage, but he suppressed his anger and turned to walk to Baal's corpse. He crouched down and carefully searched the body, and sure enough, he found a gem on Baal's neck.
The gemstone was about the size of a fist, with a highly irregular shape, and its entire surface was an orange-yellow color, making it look quite unique. Yun held the gemstone in his hand, turning it over and over, but he couldn't find anything special about it. He even dropped the gemstone on the ground twice, but it remained undamaged, clearly indicating that it was extremely hard.
Looking at the gem in her hand, Yun muttered to herself, "So this is what you've been looking for? It doesn't look like much. But it seems we're missing one more gem. Aren't you tempted?"
Inside the cave, Lishwim looked at the gem in Yun's hand with an indifferent expression and said casually, "I didn't know what use this gem was originally; I was just trying it out. Since there's no chance now, let's just forget about it."
"Oh, I see." Yun said indifferently, seemingly unconcerned about everything. The gem in his hand was tossed against the wall repeatedly as he casually played with it, only to bounce back accurately to his hand like a bouncy ball.
Each time the gem struck the wall, it produced a crisp "ding," a sound that echoed endlessly in the empty hall, like a monotonous melody. However, Yun was unaffected by the sound; he continued to repeat the action nonchalantly.
After a while, Yun began to feel bored. He waited for Lishwim's reaction, but the other party remained silent. Yun couldn't help but sigh and mutter to himself, "Sigh! How can this guy be so calm?"
Just as Yun was about to give up waiting, he suddenly thought of a way. He decided to directly inject chaotic energy into the gem and see what would happen. The moment he injected the chaotic energy into the gem, the orange-yellow light within it began to gradually fade, as if some of its energy had been drawn away.
"Wait, what are you going to do?" Lishwim finally couldn't sit still any longer, his voice revealing a hint of anxiety and unease.
Yun's lips curled into a mocking smile. He stopped channeling energy and looked at Lishwim, saying, "Not so calm now? Getting anxious now?"
Yun knew perfectly well that he simply wanted to leave this place, and now it seemed that getting out was definitely related to Lishwim and the five gems in some way. Although he wasn't sure what the consequences would be of directly damaging the gems, he didn't dare to take the risk lightly, after all, Yun didn't want to be trapped here with Lishwim.
"What exactly do you want?" Lishwim asked helplessly, unable to think of any other way to convince Yun. Yun had not only successfully obtained the gem, but also seemed to possess some special ability to damage it. Faced with such a powerful Yun, Lishwim had no choice but to admit defeat.
“I want to hear the truth,” Yun said bluntly, his gaze fixed on Lishwim as if trying to see through his true thoughts.
Lishwim grew a little anxious and quickly explained, "I'm telling the truth, I really didn't lie!"
However, Yun didn't believe him at all and immediately pressed, "The truth? Fine, then tell me what the purpose of these five gems is?"
Sweat began to bead on Lishwim's forehead. He hesitated for a moment, then answered truthfully, "I really don't know. I've only heard of these five gems in legends, but I have absolutely no idea what they can be used for. I don't even know what will happen after all five gems are collected."
Yun was clearly not satisfied with this answer, and he continued to ask sharply, "Then how did you know about these caves? Didn't you say you had never been here before?"
“That’s right, I’ve never been here before, but the murals on these walls depict shelters. On our planet, these shelters were quite common in the later stages, their main purpose being to withstand large-scale impacts. That’s why I’m very familiar with them. Moreover, no one except our specially modified race can enter here, even if they are smaller than us,” Lishwim explained in detail.
Faced with Lishwim's explanation, Yun felt utterly helpless. He couldn't think of any other solution and could only ask Lishwim to come out of the shelter first. However, Lishwim refused his request without hesitation, "No, I absolutely cannot come out! Once I step out of this shelter, you will definitely kill me without mercy!"
Hearing Lishwim's words, Yun was somewhat taken aback. Lishwim was a boss in a raid instance, specifically a late-game boss from the Tomb of the Firstborn; his strength was beyond imagination. Yet, such a powerful being was so afraid of him, making Lishwim's image in Yun's mind instantly seem somewhat comical. Could it be that Yun's strength had become comparable to the Warden?
However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense. After all, he is not much different from the Eternals, so he naturally possesses the ability to fight Zovar. Therefore, it's not hard to understand why Lishwim fears him so much.
"I'm still getting out of here, so I definitely won't kill you. But you dared to deceive me like this, how can I not teach you a lesson!" Yun said with a gloomy expression.
"I'm not going out. Your attack power is too strong; I can't withstand it at all. Since you're going out anyway, you definitely won't damage the gem, right?" Lishwim was clearly still shaken by what he had just experienced, and he even stammered a little.
"You can come out now. You can hide in there for a while, but you can't hide forever. I'll figure out a way to deal with you sooner or later. The longer you hide in there, the angrier I'll get, and then you'll be in even worse shape!" Yun felt a little more confident. At least Lishwim was afraid of him, which meant that he was in a superior position and had some confidence.
“I’m not going out,” Lishwim refused outright.
“Then take out all four gems. I’ll take a look at them. Anyway, your goal is to gather all five gems here. It doesn’t matter who gathers them, right? I’ll also take a look at what these five gems can do,” Yun continued to suggest.
“No!” Lishwim immediately refused.
"This won't work, that won't work, you have to come up with a solution." Yun was somewhat helpless. How did this guy become the BOSS? How did he survive those massive destructions? Was it just because of good luck? Or was he a protagonist back then? But with this level of intelligence? Okay, don't look down on him, he did scheme against me after all.
