Although Shifeng was shocked, he did not stop moving his feet. Transforming into an afterimage, he charged towards the Titan's Heart placed at the center of the room. He then used Observing Eyes on the Dark Chemist.
"Unknown?" Shifeng was shocked.
Aside from the Dark Chemist's name, nothing else was displayed. Only question marks could be seen …
There were only two possibilities for such a situation to occur. The first was that the Dark Chemist was equipped with an advanced disguise item. The second was that the Dark Chemist's strength was so frightening that ordinary Observing Skills could not read it.
It was obvious that this was the latter.
In Shifeng's memories, the Dark Chemist was a group of very mysterious creatures. They always wore clown clothing adorned with many small bells. They were neither human nor living creatures. Every one of them was extremely powerful. They could appear anywhere at will, coming and going without a trace. They could even enter and leave Star-Moon City's Royal Palace easily.
However, this was still a small matter. Shifeng had once witnessed a Tier 3 Great Druid NPC die at the hands of a Dark Chemist. Their attacks were simply inconceivable. It was impossible to guard against them.
"Despicable human, you actually dared to barge into this place!" The Dark Chemist's face was covered by a black cloth, revealing a pair of glowing red eyes. Although Shi Feng could not see the anger in the Dark Chemist's eyes, his tone was abnormally agitated.
Streaks of blue energy were currently being absorbed by the Dark Chemist. It was obvious that the Dark Chemist had reached some kind of critical moment, so it could not take action.
This also gave Shi Feng an opportunity. If he stopped this absorption ritual, he could heavily injure the Dark Taoist. Otherwise, once this crucial period passed, the Dark Taoist would be able to kill even a Tier 3 Great Druid. Instantly killing Shi Feng would be as easy as waving his hand.
"Cyber, hurry up and kill him!" the Dark Chemist urged.
Shifeng smiled faintly. Looking at the Dark Chemist's anxious appearance, it wanted to destroy the ritual even more desperately. As for the Hellhound behind it, it was already too late for it to rush over.
Chop!
Shifeng used all of his strength. With a twist of his wrist, an explosive sound rang out. The Abyssal Blade then transformed into a streak of black light, piercing straight towards the Titan's Heart's absorption magic array.
Dang!
The Abyssal Blade, which had always been successful, was blocked by the magic array. The Abyssal Blade created a beautiful white light as it brushed past the magic array, unable to damage the magic array in the slightest.
"Pitiful human! Do you think a mere Swordsman like you can break through my magic array? You should give up on becoming Cyber's food. I might even release your soul. Otherwise, you'll have to suffer endless pain after your death," the Dark Chemist threatened.
At this moment, the Cerberus had already charged over.
"You think I can't do anything to you just because you're looking down on a clown?" Shifeng sneered. He then took out a dark gray Magic Scroll from his bag.
"No!"
"You're crazy. Do you know what you're doing?"
The Dark Chemist suddenly cried out in alarm when he saw the dark gray Magic Scroll.
"Looks like you know your stuff. At worst, we'll just die together." The Shifeng didn't want to use this item, either. However, he was about to lose his life, so he couldn't care less. Immediately, he unfurled the Magic Scroll and chanted the activation incantation.
This was one of the only three Tier 2 Magic Scrolls Shifeng possessed, Annihilation Torrent. It could devour all Mana, turning it into nothingness. It was a Tier 2 Peak Magic Scroll.
Suddenly, the Mana inside the central barrier surged, becoming incomparably violent. Immediately, the Mana inside the barrier began to disintegrate.
The magic array was made up of Mana. Naturally, it couldn't be spared. Subsequently, it disintegrated and exploded.
Crackle! Crackle! The absorption magic array exploded, releasing dazzling shockwaves into the surroundings.
Immediately, Shifeng activated Defensive Blade, becoming immune to six ranged attacks. He then charged towards the Titan's Heart.
However, collecting the Titan's Heart was not an easy task. He either had to exhaust all of the Titan's Heart's energy to remove the protective barrier, or he had the key to remove the protective barrier. Fortunately, Shifeng had the key. Amidst the explosion, he unlocked the protective barrier around the Titan's Heart and stored it away.
The shockwaves from Annihilation Torrent sent the Hellhound flying. The Hellhound slammed into a wall, causing cracks to appear on the wall. The Hellhound then fell heavily to the ground, unable to stand up.
However, the explosion did not injure the Dark Chemist. It was as if the shockwaves had passed through its body. It was as if its body no longer existed in this space. However, the magic ritual's backlash had also heavily injured it. The Dark Chemist quietly glared at Shifeng, faintly showing signs of wanting to attack.
"Hmph! Come at me if you have the ability!" Shifeng laughed disdainfully. He then took out a dark-blue Tier 2 Magic Scroll.
He had already obtained the Titan's Heart. Even if he died, the quest item would not drop. The Dark Chemist was already incomparably weak. At most, it was slightly stronger than Shi Feng. Shi Feng still had two Tier 2 Magic Scrolls. At worst, he would take the Dark Chemist down with him.
Even if Shi Feng died, he could still revive. However, if the Dark Chemist died, it would truly die.
Let's see who's afraid of whom!
"Despicable human, I'll let you off this time. Sooner or later, we will meet again. When that time comes, it will be your death." After seeing the Magic Scroll, the Dark Chemist gave up on the idea of killing Shifeng. It only spat out a few ruthless words before disappearing from the control room with the Hellhound.
Shifeng quietly waited for a moment. After confirming that there were no more movements around him, he released a sigh of relief. However, he did not store the Tier 2 Magic Scroll.
If he really had to use a Tier 2 Magic Scroll to take the Dark Chemist down with him, he would not bear to do so. However, with the Dark Chemist's intellect, it would make the right choice.
Now that he had obtained the Titan's Heart, Shifeng took out a Return Scroll and began to activate it.
Thirty seconds later, Shifeng transformed into a streak of white light and disappeared from the control room as well.
After Shifeng disappeared, the Dark Chemist appeared once again. The red glow emitted from both of its eyes was even more intense. Obviously, it did not expect Shifeng to be so vigilant. From the very beginning, the Tier 2 Magic Scroll in its hands had not been stored away. Otherwise, it would have had the opportunity to kill Shifeng.
"Despicable human! I spent over a decade researching before I finally found a method to absorb the Titan's Heart! Wait until I recover! I'll definitely make you suffer a fate worse than death!" The Dark Chemist abruptly waved its hand, and dozens of throwing knives destroyed the stone pedestal that had lost its protective barrier.
On the other side, Shifeng had already returned to Red Leaf Town.
At this moment, there were even more players in Red Leaf Town. There were people selling Level 0 to 2 Common Equipment and Basic Skill Books all over the streets.
Shifeng took a look at his bag. It had been a long time since he had received any Gold Coins. He decided to sell some items first before turning in his Quest.
The previous Forging Designs had already been sold out. Shifeng took out another twenty Glimmer Forging Designs and placed them in the Auction House to sell in batches.
At this moment, Gentle Snow received a communication request.
"Gather at the entrance of the Dark Moon Graveyard in three hours. Have your party prepare. Bring along the necessary potions. This time, our Ouroboros must snatch the First Clear of the Team Dungeon. It all depends on your performance." Gentle Snow's voice was very indifferent, as if she was giving an order. It was completely different from the previous time they met.
"Okay, I'll definitely be there in three hours." However, Shifeng did not mind. That was the normal attitude of the Snow Goddess. After estimating the time, he should be able to make it.
The two of them did not speak any further, directly disconnecting the call.
Shifeng continued to purchase Card Sets and Hard Stones from the Auction House. He also purchased some raw materials for making Bronze and Mysterious-Iron Equipment. After placing the materials in the Warehouse, he also purchased some Magic Scrolls and necessary potions. He then ran to the White Sand Ruins to turn in his Quest.
