Chapter 50 The Power of a Master
"Well!"
Jiang Yong's vision went black, and he was sent flying backward as if he had been struck by a hammer. The arc of electricity, upon impact, burst forth with countless tiny chains of lightning, precisely piercing Jiang Yong's neck, joints, and the gaps in the surface of the Spirit Breath Cocoon, clearly triggering a critical hit.
Fortunately, when he used the panel to find the ant company commander, he had already used "Guardian Cocoon" to raise his defense to +6, so he was able to withstand the attack without suffering serious damage.
Even so, the Spirit Breath Pupa's health bar was emptied by more than a third in an instant. At the same time, the solid vacuum energy protection around its body was completely shattered by this lightning strike. Only the Spirit Breath Pupa's thick cocoon shell remained unshaken—the +6 Special Defense effect had been cleared by this critical special attack!
Further away, a figure surging with golden-red flames charged straight at them like a rampaging rhinoceros!
[You have entered combat mode!]
"Isn't this notification a bit late?!"
Jiang Yong gritted his teeth and endured the pain, quickly casting a spirit silk thread to stick to the wall. He used the pull to control the direction of his backward flight, swinging towards the place he had agreed upon with Roman.

……
Although most of the information was question marks due to the large level difference, Jiang Yong had fought Nott, the boss, dozens of times while running dungeons, and had a deep impression of him. He still remembered Nott's skill effects, spirit combinations, fighting style, and some of his core traits.
Therefore, he was well aware that he was no match for Nott no matter what!
"Roman!"
The spiritual thread snapped in mid-air, and Jiang Yong's body plummeted downwards in an arc. Nott's figure was getting closer and closer behind him. Jiang Yong only had time to shout before he crashed to the ground.
However, the instant after he rolled and landed, a hazy mist of light suddenly appeared around him—he had successfully fallen into the "polarized light maze"!
"run!"
Jiang Yong lowered his voice and shouted, grabbing Roman beside him. Then, a spiritual ribbon pulled him away, quickly moving him away from Nott who had lost his target.
"An invisible person?!"
Nott first struck the spot where Jiang Yong had disappeared with a bolt of lightning, then paused, his expression showing some surprise and uncertainty.
He maintained radio silence and hardly told anyone his location. He also had a contractor subordinate who could monitor the whole situation—how did the other party determine his location throughout the entire process and premeditatedly eliminate his informant?
"Could it be that their master-level opponent has arrived...? Hmm?"
Nott paused for a moment. He suddenly sensed that the vacuum energy that had been flowing smoothly within the Ball Flash Ghost's body had suddenly stagnated, and a surge of chaotic external energy had suddenly appeared, making the Ball Flash Ghost's form somewhat unstable and its defense slightly reduced.
Just seconds before, when he struck the bastard who had ambushed his men, the man seemed to have stopped falling with some kind of thread. This had also happened once before when the elf next to that man was spraying threads.
"That's a characteristic of that strange sprite!"
A glint flashed in Nott's eyes, and he suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction.
The source... came from there.
His masterful mind and extensive battlefield experience allowed him to pinpoint the approximate location of the obscure fluctuation when he was focused on sensing it—meaning that as long as the assassin continued to use that method to escape, he would never be able to escape his pursuit!
"I've found you."
Nott sneered, and the next moment, his body burst forth with golden-red flames, and he shot out like an arrow.
……
Boom!
Jiang Yong and Luo Man landed on the ground with a thud.
"Why did you stop running?"
Roman hissed in pain, turned his head and glared at Jiang Yong, asking a question.
"That method might expose our location. It's okay for a temporary retreat, but if we keep using it, we'll be tracked. Let's change direction, quick."
Jiang Yong shook his head, took out a bottle of recovery medicine from his pocket and drank it in one gulp. After regaining some strength, he pointed in a direction and continued to retreat while opening the interstellar terminal: "How is Group Two doing now?"
"Nott suddenly turned back halfway for some reason, and Team Two successfully evacuated with the Ravens!"
Chen Yue's excited voice came from the other end of the communicator: "They just sent a message asking us to meet at rendezvous point number two. Group one has already gone there, and Su Ling and the others are on their way back. Where are you and Luo Man?"
It seems I won my gamble.
Jiang Yong breathed a sigh of relief—showing off and then running away, that was damn exciting.
"We're heading back too. Nott's been misled by me for now, but he should realize it soon. You should get ready."
"What? Nott was misled by you? Could it be that he suddenly turned back because..."
Click.
Jiang Yong didn't bother listening to Chen Yue's shock. After putting away the communication device, he continued to travel quickly with Roman—he still had the mind to chat. If Nott really caught up with them, all of his members combined wouldn't be enough to defeat him.
Contractors starting at Rank E can acquire amplified traits corresponding to their rank. Therefore, although Nott's level is only 17 levels higher than Jiang Yong's, his various attributes are more than three times higher, even his lowest attribute, Spirit, is over 100, more than twice that of Jiang Yong. Furthermore, his numerous skills and traits grant him extremely strong frontal suppression and backline burst capabilities, allowing him to dominate weaker opponents on offense and finish off enemies from the backline.
Take his "Shattered Glass Blade" as an example, which is also the strongest technique in Tiandu City. This technique can provide a lot of dual attack bonuses to the spirits, and at the same time, it has an extreme effect: for every spirit that dies on our side, the attack skills of all remaining spirits will increase by 10%!
In reality, this technique only reaches its most terrifying effect when wielded by a legendary-level Pokémon capable of fusing six Pokémon, granting backline Pokémon a permanent 50% damage boost. Although Nott is a master-level Pokémon, his backline Pokémon only receive a maximum of 20% damage boost, which seems less effective. However, his Pokémon team composition perfectly complements this technique, making it equally powerful overall.
Jiang Yong knew very well that his other two undisclosed Pokémon were a Fire-type "Flaming Stag Beetle" and a Flying-type "Whirlwind Messenger Love," which together with the Electric-type "Ghost Ball" formed a Fire-Flying-Electric combo.
This combination of attributes might seem like Rock-type fermented bean curd at first glance, but this isn't a Pokémon game, and there's no Rock type here. So you can unleash your full power without any worries!
