My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 161: Finally Something Feels Wrong

Li Rui successfully separated one of the enemies from the others with Thunder Vortex.

His plan was to divide the enemies and defeat them one by one.

Although he could defeat monsters across levels before, the difference in level mostly involved attributes, skills, and equipment.

But now, the gap he faced was 30 levels, an insurmountable chasm known as advancement.

It's like being a Warrior before advancement, and an Earthshaker after, the difference is immense.

The one separated now, Lainer, had the class of Breaker, an advancement of the Assassin.

This class was very popular in real-world battles because they often have the ability to prevent enemies from casting skills.

Lainer was the same; his skill duration was very short, only three seconds, with a cooldown of several hours. Correspondingly, its effect was stronger than normal silence skills, called Absolute Prohibition, capable of blocking all enemy abilities.

The so-called all abilities include not only skills but also talents, equipment, and items.

In other words, once targeted by this skill, the target must rely solely on physical attributes to endure the three seconds.

When he realized he was isolated, he prepared the skill at once. As soon as the enemy hidden in the fog appeared, he would immediately seal them off and use his level advantage to secure victory.

Sure enough, those blood-red eyes appeared, exactly as described in the intel.

With a swoosh, a sliver of black light shot from his hand, and then the red eyes went dark, like a light losing its power.

Lainer's mouth curled into a cold smile, the situation was under control. He activated an instant movement skill, immediately advancing to the figure he had just seen, unleashing a prepared wild blade whirlwind, only to witness a blood-draining scene.

Whoosh—

A blurry figure slowly dissipated before him.

This was not the Foggy Evil Ghost, just a fake afterimage.

Following Absolute Prohibition with a dash and damage skill, this combo had helped him kill countless enemies in the past, but this time it failed.

He was someone who liked to question himself and reflect on his mistakes, and in an instant, he thought of many things.

Firstly, he shouldn't have fallen out of sync; secondly, he wasn't cautious enough, revealing his trump card without probing first; most importantly, he didn't consider that someone who hadn't advanced could be his match.

Regardless of any titles or who he had defeated, no advancement meant no advancement.

But thinking any more was pointless; the battle had just begun, and he had fallen for a deadly trap.

He was a battle-hardened veteran agent, and while he was lost in thought, his body didn't stop, instinctively turning around and using the wild blade whirlwind again.

He knew that the assailant would definitely seize the opportunity to attack from behind, the most logical tactic.

It proved correct, as Li Rui had indeed unleashed Thunder Shocking Earth from a commanding position.

The crackling golden thunder and the Breaker's shadowy blades intertwined. The latter was at a disadvantage from the start, unexpectedly caught off guard, and the sheer strength of the legendary level fusion skill surpassed him.

In a thunderous roar, the Breaker named Lainer breathed his last. He finally understood what those people faced in the arena.

Li Rui finished the kill and immediately vanished into the fog without a trace.

No matter how reckless, he couldn't face several advanced beings alone. The noise from Thunder Shocking Earth was too loud, sure to attract the others.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, they reached the scene.

"Lainer!"

"Be on alert."

They immediately turned to guard against ambushes.

They also didn't understand why so many advanced beings had to treat someone possibly only in their 20s like a significant threat, but Lainer's death said it all.

"Damn, this fog is too thick. Unless the Captain acts personally, we can't disperse it at all."

"What class is that guy? With such a scale of fog control, he must be at least level 3, right?"

"But the intel indicates his offensive skill strength is also high."

At this moment, a series of continuous, dense booms came from afar.

"It's the Captain's group ice meteor!"

As attention was drawn, a pair of crimson eyes suddenly appeared from a corner.

The second Thunder Shocking Earth.

"Watch out!"

Someone instinctively alerted, but everyone was already prepared.

The Earthshaker slammed his fists onto the ground heavily and a layer of rock shot up vigorously, acting as the first line of defense.

Thunder Shocking Earth dealt mixed damage, and the physical part smashed through the rock armor, continuing to crash down, but the others also launched their attacks, not only neutralizing this attack but turning the tide.

Seeing things were unfavorable, Li Rui used Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture to flash away, disappearing into the fog once more.

"Too cunning."

The Western Anomaly Bureau was growing frustrated with his antics.

"What should we do?"

"Since this person won't fight us head-on, let's regroup with the Captain and help him take down the Black-clothed Death God."

Just as they took steps, someone's face dramatically changed.

"No! Move aside, quickly!"

Boom!!!

The Explosive Trap's flames engulfed everyone.

When they reemerged, two people were burned, and before they could react, another Thunder Vortex howled in, scattering them even further.

Meanwhile, the crimson eyes reappeared, another Thunder Shocking Earth.

Having clashed just now, they now had a tangible understanding of this move's power and form, making them a bit calmer mentally.

This time, the attack was directed at a giant swordsman.

This was an advancement branch of the Swordsman, excelling in physique and adept at direct clashes.

As an advanced being, he was confident of taking this blow, but not careless, using the trump card Barbaric Blood Swing, hoping to counterattack, believing in his ability from previous exchanges.

Boom!!

Yet, things exceeded this giant swordsman's expectations.

This time, Thunder Shocking Earth was at least 30% stronger than before.

He couldn't fathom how, in just a few seconds, the enemy became significantly more powerful, his Barbaric Blood Swing utterly mismatched.

Like Lainer, poor strategy leads to severe consequences.

What the giant swordsman didn't expect was anticipated by Li Rui; battle scars would make him stronger, so Thunder Shocking Earth and Thunder Vortex repeatedly were used to drain Spiritual Power and stamina.

Of course, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could instantaneously kill an advanced being with one strike, so he had prepared a follow-up.

Amidst the not-yet-dissipated golden thunder, he capitalized on the chaos to get in close.

Thunderbolt Palm!

Bang!

Unable to find an opening to attack the face, this palm could only imprint on the giant swordsman's chest, yet still penetrated the fat layer, muscle, ribs, and heart.

Swoosh.

Li Rui vanished into the mist once more.

In just a few minutes, two had died, two were injured, crucially, they hadn't even touched a hair of the perpetrator.

The Western Anomaly Bureau people finally sensed that something was wrong.

At this rate, they might be toyed to death.
