Close Combat Mage

Chapter 230 – Suo Jia Breaks Through Pt. 2

“Light Harmonization Ring.” That’s right…this ring was the one that Suo Jia had extorted out of the old man emperor. Its ability was to bend light and conceal his body. Although it could only last 3 seconds, that was already enough. Three seconds of time was sufficient for Suo Jia to break through their defensive line and rush to save the Angelic Phoenixes.

Everyone watched as Suo Jia’s body suddenly flashed with a piercing, bright light. The next instant…Suo Jia’s body mysteriously vanished from the spot. The dozen experts couldn’t help but become dumbstruck at the scene.

“Wu…” After a mere pause, the sound of energy rang out from within the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes’ fight. Ice blades flew out, the freezing air wreaking havoc as it spiraled out from the center of the crowd.

This whole time, the Angelic Phoenixes had been trying their utmost to resist the surrounding attacks, and hadn’t actually discovered Suo Jia had come to save them. However, after suddenly sensing this familiar magic fluctuation and spell, the girls all knew that they had been rescued.

Suo Jia was a synonym for miracle in all of the girls’ minds. As long as he was present, everything would be fine. Now…that Suo Jia had arrived, he’d surely help them escape this fight successfully .

As the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes were wild with joy, Suo Jia’s low whisper rang out, “What are you all still standing there for, quick…immediately drink your potions, then prepare to break through with me using a sudden and violent assault.”

After hearing this order, the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes all stopped their attacks without any hesitation, and allowed the enemy’s wild attacks to come towards them and quickly reached to take out the four colored potions, simultaneously downing the bottles’ contents. Their spirit power, battle qi, physical strength, and speed were all replenished, and the injuries on their bodies also recovered.

Meanwhile, Suo Jia hadn’t stopped once. Ice Roars were continuously released out from the group of Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes, and he wasn’t concerned about hurting the girls as well.

Suo Jia knew that even if he didn’t attack, the enemy surely would. In that case, it was best if he made a move first. Either way, the ice blades wouldn’t be able to harm the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes. In terms of the freezing air, the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes’ fire elements were able to perfectly burn up the condensing ice.

However, although the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes were able to ignore this attack, the enemy couldn’t do the same. None of them were like the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes, people with both fire and wind elements. Even if they could block the ice blades, they couldn’t do anything against the freezing air. Now that Suo Jia was wildly casting Ice Roars one after another, they were really unable to attack as they wished.

Currently speaking, Suo Jia still couldn’t instantly cast Ice Roar. After all…the part of the equipment set that granted such an ability was still in an unknown location. Despite this, Suo Jia’s unique activation method made it possible for Ice Roar to be casted in succession.

Ice Roar had quite a long activity time. There were at least six seconds between the beginning and end of its activation. Thus, because there were only 2-3 seconds passing between each Ice Roar, they were pretty much casted in succession. The enemy had no chance to charge through.

While Suo Jia used all his magic power and spirit power to activate a dozen Ice Roars in a row, the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes had finally recovered completely. Capturing them alive was not very likely anymore. At the very least, this chance wouldn’t appear unless they had been worn down after a very long period of time.

Unfortunately for them, Suo Jia wouldn’t give the enemy this kind of time. He quickly stuffed the contents of the four colored potions into his mouth, replenishing his own magic power and spirit power. He then shouted, “Don’t just stand there, immediately form a hexagram formation around me. We’ll charge through together.”

The Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes didn’t even think twice about Suo Jia’s command, and their bodies subconsciously began to move, doing whatever Suo Jia had ordered it to. As for what exactly they were doing, they didn’t even bother wondering about it,

Soon, the 36 Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes had formed many hexagram layers around Suo Jia. This meant that the 36 Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes were split into groups of 6, with each group protecting a single corner to form 6 points. They harmonized and mutually helped with each other, which increased their destructive power by severalfold.

However, this wasn’t the greatest trait of this hexagram formation. In reality…it was extremely great at protecting the team members in the center. These people would be able to leisurely activate long-range attacks, also the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes’ signature move…Thousand Feathers.

The instant the formation came together, the enemy experts closed in once more. With a wave of their weapons, they surrounded the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes. But….this time, they weren’t so easy to ravage.

Seeing the surrounding enemy make threatening movements, Suo Jia lifted his right hand to activate another Ice Roar. At the same time, he shouted, “Advance at a 45 degree angle. The inner Angelic Phoenixes need to pay attention and activate Thousand Feathers first to open up a path.”

The 6 Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes near the center area of the hexagram formation all pulled out their amethyst spears and wildly began to gather battle qi. A bright gold and red glow flashed and six lightning-fast attacks instantly leapt at the direction that Suo Jia had pointed at.

The experts in that direction all waved their weapons against the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes’ Thousand Feathers, and managed to block it. For a moment, powerful and violent sounds of a series of explosions could be heard.

With the protection of the 30 outer teammates, the inner 6 were the most powerful Angelic Phoenixes that didn’t bother to even care about taking potions. Although activating Thousand Feathers hadn’t killed a single enemy, it blasted them backwards. Unknowingly, the circle of people was slowly being pushed apart sideways, further and further apart…

Suo Jia sighed in admiration at the predator-like enemies around him. The experts in this world were too many in number. Although their equipments couldn’t compare to Dawn’s, their strength was too overpowering. Currently, Suo Jia was able to cast over 50 Ice Roars in a row, but he hadn’t been able to kill a single enemy. The difference between between the two of them was way too large.

However, the so-called experts just had too little influence on the battlefield. Just these 200 experts definitely weren’t enough to seize Dawn. Even if they stood together and attacked as one, they’d probably just exhaust themselves. Dawn Army had more than 100,000 people.

Suo Jia constantly observed his surroundings. He was too familiar with everything going on, after all….this was his territory, especially as this was the second war during the past few months. He had worked hard every day to organize training practices here, so Suo Jia knew this area so well that he even remembered the location of each rock on the ground.

Faced with the enemy’s attacks, the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes constantly swapped positions. If they used up all their energy, they’d shift sideways into the center of the formation and recover with the four colored potions, while their teammates would replace their position. Once fully recovered, the person would go to the outside of the formation once more, and the entire hexagram formation would rotate like this.

However, this was only enough to ensure that their strength wouldn’t diminish. Breaking through was still too difficult. Although Thousand Feathers was powerful, it couldn’t effective injure or kill these enemy experts.

For a moment, the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes couldn’t help but begin to fret. The battle had gone on for so long already. Their spirit power, battle qi, willpower, and physical power were still going strong, but their minds were already fatigued. They didn’t want to continue fighting any longer.

When they saw the enemy still densely packed around them, they couldn’t hide their grimaces. How long would it take for them to charge out? It looked like….that 36v360,000 was really not feasible.

Suo Jia sighed at the sight of everyone’s restless expressions. In reality, he had long since planned out how to escape. In addition, they could’ve achieved it a while ago. However…Suo Jia had wanted to improve the battle’s results, so he hadn’t acted. After seeing the Angelic Six-Winged Phoenixes’ expressions, Suo Jia decided that he could no longer continue waiting, for the sake of avoiding doubt from forming in their hearts, and for the sake of ensuring they wouldn’t become people that hated fighting.
