Chapter 591: Fighting Poseidon Again (3)

The fatigue caused Xiao Lin to feel like just collapsing on the floor and not moving, but if he did so, there was a high chance that Poseidon would look for Gu Xiaoyue, who had participated in the sealing with him, after handling him. He could die, but Gu Xiaoyue could not afford to die.

He needed to at least stall for more time!

Xiao Lin did not know how much time he could delay after losing his Ruin state, but he had to do it. He could not afford to stop, no matter how tired he was. Dragging his feet, which were beginning to feel heavier and heavier, Xiao Lin’s speed did not decrease by too much after losing Ruin. He even used his Phantom Steps, but that skill that was Bronze-ranked at most was definitely nothing in the face of the sea god.

Poseidon, probably because he had just descended into the world, also due to his drastic decrease in power, did not seem accustomed to his body at that moment. On top of that, he had been pinned down for a while with Ruin, so he was still a distance away from Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin took the chance to recover some strength, using the strong recovery ability of his dragon’s blood. However, in just half an hour, Poseidon once again sped up in the air. That man was quite good at adapting. Even under various restrictions, he still managed to adjust his strength.

A tsunami from the sky suddenly fell behind Xiao Lin like a waterfall. The water that surged forth caused Xiao Lin to fall on the ground, unable to dodge. He was extremely wet, and the strength he had painstakingly gathered had been completely stripped away by that wave attack. If it was not for the dense bushes around cushioning the blow, that attack might have killed Xiao Lin.

“Cough cough!”

Xiao Lin coughed a few times before all the water in his lungs was forced out. He struggled to steady his drenched body. He felt a shadow in front of him, and when he raised his head he noticed that Poseidon was already slowly descending in front of him.

‘@#$*...&’

Poseidon opened his mouth and spoke in a language that was hard to decipher. Xiao Lin naturally did not understand, so he coldly smiled and replied in some words that even he did not understand.

Poseidon had a confused expression, and could not resist saying a few more words.

‘#¥¥%’

‘@*&%¥’

...

He was just delaying for time anyway, so Xiao Lin did not mind this blind conversation that he did not understand at all. However, after a few sentences without any effects, Poseidon showed an impatient expression. It was obvious that he was very angry, but in that anger was also a thick sense of suspicion, so he suppressed that anger to interrogate Xiao Lin.

To Poseidon, he was the most stupefied person when he was sealed that day. He still did not know how Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue suddenly appeared to this day.

However, Poseidon did not mind not getting an answer, as he just needed to kill the person who had sealed him.

Woosh!

Without any warning, an ice arrow shot out from Poseidon’s finger tips, right at Xiao Lin’s heart. Xiao Lin’s skills were already at the Bronze rank. With just that level of a spell, Xiao Lin could easily dodge it, but if he had still been at Black-iron rank, his reactions would probably be a step too slow.

Poseidon was not angered, as it was possible that he had done that intentionally. An opponent that he could kill easily would not allow him to vent out all his anger after being sealed for millions of years. He had a cold and cruel smile on his mouth as he raised his hand slightly and fired even more ice arrows out.

Xiao Lin almost bit his lips off as he used all his might on his spent feet to launch off the ground. Two ice arrows brushed past his right leg, but he managed to avoid any serious injuries.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Lin endured the pain of the wound and the cold as he limped and ran back toward the deeper parts of the forest. After leaving the center of the forest, there were more and more beasts around them. Those beasts feared Poseidon more because of the chaotic energy that came from the crack, but since Poseidon had been weakened until around Gold rank, he definitely was not unrivaled in the forest.

Xiao Lin’s plan was very obvious — he wanted to use the other beasts to stop Poseidon, be it Arachnes or Fire-eaters, those troublesome beasts that he had been avoiding; at this point Xiao Lin was deliberately looking for them, and would even shoot out some flames to anger the foe.

Xiao Lin was successful. After a few moments, he had a long line behind him. Other than those strong beasts like Arachnes, there were even many low-leveled beasts mixed up within. Of course, beasts were not intelligent, and when someone sent out a few flame bullets at them, and stared at them mockingly, even humans would be angered.

Xiao Lin was playing with fire. After losing his Ruin state, he would be very pressured even facing something like an Arachne or a Fire-eater. He could only rely on Phantom Steps, which was pretty reasonably ranked. He had practically used that skill to the maximum, and managed to dodge every attack at its very limits.

Even so, he could not avoid all the attacks because he had lost too much strength, so he could only choose to avoid being hurt in any fatal areas. As for any other injuries, he could not afford to care.

His actions did result in some positive effects. Poseidon was left behind him, and Poseidon’s attacks were the most fatal, but because the beasts were interfering with his vision, it had greatly weakened the threat Poseidon had.

Just like that, they wasted half an hour. As Xiao Lin thought that his plan had succeeded, the low rumbling of thunder could be heard again, and in a flash, a heavy rain began to fall. The dark clouds that had been gathering above finally started to release torrents of rain.

However, the rain was not normal, as even the beasts that were chasing him seemed to quiet down after being drenched. Their attention was all focused on Poseidon, who was in the air. Poseidon opened his arms; calling in the rain was nothing hard for him, but such a large-scale downpour was definitely not easy for him after all the restrictions.

The rain was accompanied with howling winds. As the sea god, Poseidon’s domain should be the vast ocean, but he did not mind forcibly making this area his domain. That way, even at Gold-rank, he would not be afraid of the beasts in the forest.

The unstopping rain started to gather in the forest, and the water had already exceeded the amount that the ground could absorb. The beasts finally started to go into hiding, just like Xiao Lin had speculated earlier. That forest was fated to be destroyed. Only, he did not expect that it would be in this manner.

It was similar to how Atlantis had fallen.
