Thunderstorm Magic Circle！
Boom!
As soon as Link stepped into the magic circle, a deafening roar suddenly echoed above him!
Immediately after, a lightning bolt as thick as an arm descended from the sky, striking Link and turning him into a Super Saiyan!
"What the hell!"
Link was shocked, smoke billowing from his ears, and even the zombie beneath him trembled slightly!
Lightning, with its powerful tearing effect on the flesh, could easily overwhelm even the toughest of zombies. It wasn't that the zombie was weak; it was simply a matter of elemental resistance!
Rubbing his slightly trembling hands, Link focused his gaze ahead. He saw the winding mountain path, where lightning occasionally struck down, creating craters in the ground made of dirt and stone!
The competitors who had entered the magic circle before him were now cautiously dodging the lightning strikes from above, slowly making their way to the mountain summit!
No one dared to rush forward, for as soon as the thunder roared, they had to quickly find cover. The key was to minimize the number of lightning strikes they endured to conserve their strength and successfully reach the top!
Seeing this, Link suddenly understood!
"The lightning must be falling randomly, and its power isn't too strong—probably only at the first-tier magic level. However, the sheer number of strikes means that even a warrior trained in fighting energy wouldn't be able to withstand them for long!"
With this thought in mind, Link felt a surge of inspiration. He decided to cast a spell he had never used since acquiring it!
"Indestructible Evil Body!"
Buzz...
In the next moment, accompanied by a mysterious resonance, Link's body was enveloped in a layer of crystalline skin, shimmering with a radiant glow under the sunlight!
"What a powerful defensive spell!"
Link felt a rush of excitement. At this moment, he sensed that even the "Golden Fighting Energy" of the Golden War Lion, Leo, wouldn't leave a scratch on him!
It was an enigmatic feeling, yet it felt incredibly real, assuring Link that this was no mere illusion!
Suddenly, another thunderous roar echoed from the sky, and another bolt of lightning came crashing down towards Link!
However, this time, Link didn't flinch. Instead, he looked up defiantly, ready to face the lightning's onslaught!
In the next instant, the lightning struck down, illuminating the area with electric flashes and dancing serpents of electricity!
But Link felt nothing at all!
Even the zombie beneath him remained completely unharmed!
"Haha, it really works!"
Seeing this, Link was overjoyed, finally realizing just how formidable this innate magic from the "Toxic Corpse King" truly was!
A first-tier lightning spell could be completely ignored!
"With this defensive magic, what do I have to fear?"
Link laughed heartily, letting go of all restraint. He commanded the zombie beneath him to charge forward, allowing the falling lightning to strike at will. It was a dazzling display of sparks and flashes...
"What?"
"This bastard can actually ignore the lightning attacks?"
One by one, the competitors were overtaken by Link!
Finally, his actions sparked outrage among all present!
Almost in unison, those competitors ahead who had not yet been surpassed by Link, as well as those behind who had already been overtaken but were still within close range, unleashed their fighting energy magic, launching attacks at Link!
"Stop right there!!!"
"Fireball!"
"Ice Ring!"
"Air Slash!"
...
Countless attacks rained down, finally forcing Link to a halt!
"You bastards!"
Seeing that the crowd was relentless, Link was furious. He decided to retaliate without hesitation, unleashing an area-of-effect spell indiscriminately at the crowd!
"Corpse Poison Field!"
Boom!
The toxic gas erupted, and dark green poison quickly spread, enveloping all competitors within a hundred-meter radius!
"Huh? What is that smell?"
"Ahhh..."
Thud, thud, thud...
In the next moment, countless competitors were caught off guard and fell to the ground!
"Not good, this gas is toxic! Everyone, hold your breath!"
At this point, the crowd finally panicked. There was no time left to continue blocking Link!
With the interference gone, Link paid no mind to the others and once again urged the zombie beneath him to sprint towards the mountain summit!
Meanwhile, several miles away, near the mountain peak!
Roy rode his red dragon, galloping forward at an incredible speed, using its powerful wings to shield him from the lightning strikes above!
The duo was on the verge of reaching the exit!
Just then!
"Roy, stop!"
A figure enveloped in golden fighting energy suddenly charged forward, slashing at Roy from a distance with a sword!
"Golden Cross Slash!"
