Transmigrating to Modern Earth from the Future-Chapter 92: Another step forward
Chapter 92: Another step forward
In the depths of the cavern, the battle raged on as Lumen and the D tier Shadow Wolf exchanged deadly blows. The creature’s relentless assault was like a storm of darkness, and Lumen’s every move had to be precise to avoid being struck by the wolf’s razor-sharp claws and fangs.
Lumen’s renowned Hunter’s Stealth skill served him well, allowing him to anticipate the wolf’s movements and blend into the shadows when needed. However, he knew that relying solely on his evasive manoeuvres wouldn’t be enough to defeat the formidable foe before him.
With a quick mental command, Lumen activated his Fire Infusion skill. Instantly, his spear burst into flames, the fiery aura casting an eerie glow in the cavern’s darkness. The D tier Shadow Wolf recoiled momentarily, its shadowy form shifting away from the searing heat of the flames.
Seizing the opportunity, Lumen launched a series of fiery thrusts and slashes at the creature. The wolf howled in pain as the fiery blade struck true, leaving singed fur and dark smoke in its wake. Fire and shadow clashed in the cavern, creating a surreal and deadly spectacle.
The D tier Shadow Wolf, however, was not easily defeated. It responded with a devastating swipe of its claws, forcing Lumen to leap backward to avoid the lethal attack. The wolf’s movements were swift and unpredictable, a testament to its mastery of shadow and stealth.
In a desperate bid to gain the upper hand, Lumen activated his Shadow Blink skill. With a blink of an eye, he disappeared into the shadows and reappeared behind the wolf. It was a move born of instinct and reflex, a skill he had honed through countless battles in the Fantasia Realm.
For a moment, it seemed as if Lumen had gained the advantage. He aimed a powerful thrust at the wolf’s flank, but the creature was not so easily outmanoeuvred. With a flicker of its shadowy form, it vanished from Lumen’s sight, reappearing a short distance away.
The cavern became a battleground of teleportation and stealth, as Lumen and the D tier Shadow Wolf engaged in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Lumen’s Shadow Blink skill allowed him to evade the wolf’s attacks and strike from unexpected angles, while the wolf’s mastery of shadows allowed it to disappear and reappear at will.
As the battle continued, Lumen could feel his energy waning. The constant use of his skills was taking its toll, and he knew he couldn’t keep up this frenetic pace indefinitely. The wolf, on the other hand, seemed tireless, an embodiment of relentless darkness.
Desperation and determination drove Lumen to a daring idea. He reached into his inventory and retrieved several pieces of dry wood and flint. With swift, practised motions, he ignited the wood, creating a bright and crackling fire.
The sudden burst of light illuminated the cavern, banishing the deepest shadows. The D tier Shadow Wolf, accustomed to hiding in the darkness, let out a pained, almost human-like howl as it was exposed to the searing light.
Lumen pressed his advantage, thrusting his flaming spear toward the wolf. The creature, disoriented and vulnerable, couldn’t evade the attack in time. The fiery blade pierced its shadowy form, and an unearthly scream of agony filled the cavern.
The wolf’s shadowy essence writhed and contorted as it burned, its ethereal form dissipating like smoke. Lumen’s relentless assault with the fiery spear reduced the creature to a fading spectre, and with one final, desperate swipe of its claws, it dissipated into nothingness.
Breathing heavily, Lumen lowered his spear, the flames extinguishing as the battle ended. He had triumphed over the D tier Shadow Wolf, the embodiment of shadow and stealth, with a combination of fire, skill, and cunning.
As the light from the fire gradually dimmed, Lumen took a moment to collect himself. He had faced one of the Fantasia Realm’s most formidable foes and emerged victorious. His journey toward evolution continued, but now he carried with him the knowledge that he could overcome even the darkest of challenges.
With renewed determination, he began to explore the depths of the cavern, wondering what other mysteries and trials awaited him in this shadowy realm.
However, the sense of triumph was short-lived. Suddenly, an eerie, echoing laughter filled the cavern, sending shivers down Lumen’s spine. It seemed that the D tier Shadow Wolf’s defeat was not as final as he had hoped.
From the shadows at the far end of the chamber, a faint, ghostly figure emerged. It was the wolf, or at least a shadowy semblance of it. Though weakened and diminished, the creature had not been completely vanquished.
With a haunting grace, the wolf’s form twisted and contorted, and it separated into multiple shadowy projections. These shadowy duplicates surrounded Lumen, their glowing eyes fixated on him with malevolence.
Before Lumen could react, the shadowy projections launched a barrage of dark projectiles. These shadow attacks moved with incredible speed, and Lumen barely had time to raise his flaming spear to defend himself.
The projectiles struck with force, and Lumen felt the searing pain of their impact. He gritted his teeth and tried to evade, using his Shadow Blink skill to teleport away from the incoming attacks. However, the shadowy projectiles pursued him relentlessly, their unnatural accuracy making them difficult to dodge.
Lumen knew that he couldn’t keep evading the attacks indefinitely. He needed a plan, a way to counter the relentless assault of the D tier Shadow Wolf’s shadowy projections. Desperation and determination once again welled up within him as he searched for a solution.
In a moment of inspiration, Lumen reached into his inventory and retrieved a handful of small, glowing crystals he had collected on his journey. These crystals emitted a soft, radiant light, and he hurled them into the air, scattering them throughout the chamber.
As the crystals illuminated the cavern with their gentle glow, the shadows cast by the wolf’s projections shrank and wavered. The brightness seemed to weaken the shadowy attacks, causing them to lose their cohesiveness and accuracy.
With the advantage of the light, Lumen launched a counterattack. He lunged at the shadowy projections with his flaming spear, striking them down one by one. The weakened creatures dissipated into nothingness, their eerie laughter turning into anguished cries. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The D tier Shadow Wolf, unable to maintain its shadowy projections in the face of the light, let out a final, mournful howl before vanishing into the darkness once and for all. The chamber fell silent, and Lumen stood amidst the scattered crystals, his breathing heavy but victorious.
