He knew that if this continued, the sword in his hand might not hold up.
However, in the next second, that rampaging Black Flame suddenly violently impacted Lin Mo's body.
"Bang!"
Lin Mo's body was struck by the Black Flame, and an intense burning sensation instantly spread throughout his body. His clothes were incinerated in an instant, and his skin was scalded by the scorching aura. The pain made his expression change.
At this moment, he could almost feel his body nearing a state of collapse.
The intense pain in his body made him somewhat unsteady.
However, at this very moment, Lin Mo suddenly felt an invisible Power of the Path surge from within him.
That power swiftly removed the Black Flame from his body, as if gently pushed away by an invisible hand.
Instantly, the Black Flame on him completely vanished, and the scorching sensation dissipated with it.
"How is this possible?!"
The male Fatui Elite's eyes widened, staring dumbfounded at everything before him, completely unable to believe what had happened.
He stared intently at the changes on Lin Mo's body, his face filled with horror: "My Black Flame—how could it be ineffective?!"
The other Fatui Elites were equally dumbfounded.
Aside from Vision Holders and elemental monsters, they had never seen anyone capable of resisting the Black Flame's restraint.
Let alone making the Black Flame disappear instantly.
And the one who did all this was a human without a Vision?
Lin Mo was also stunned for a moment, then his gaze sharpened.
He felt the power that had suddenly surged within him.
It was like an invisible barrier, instantly resolving the danger at the moment he needed it most.
Lin Mo was surprised to find that the power did not come from himself, but from a deep-seated potential within him, seemingly the intervention of some Power of the Path.
In an instant, he thought of the branch skill of Clara's Power of the Path he had previously obtained—[Family]?
Lin Mo suddenly realized that the moment he was struck by the Black Flame, the branch skill of Clara's Power of the Path—[Family]—had been triggered within him.
This skill had a 35% chance to remove a negative effect when attacked.
And at this moment, it was this power that helped him resist the Black Flame's influence.
"So that's how it is…"
Lin Mo rejoiced in his heart, a glimmer of surprise flickering in his eyes.
He hadn't expected that the so-called 35% chance to remove a negative effect would be removed in such a way?
Even if he encountered attacks from Archons in the future, there would be a certain probability of immunity.
However, he did not stop because of this.
While the Fatui Elites were still in shock, Lin Mo swiftly accelerated his movements.
Because this was only 35% immunity, not 100% immunity.
The longsword in his hand cut a smooth arc through the air, the sword light sweeping like a swift wind, almost without any obstruction.
Lin Mo's figure was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing before the Fatui Elites.
Every swing of his sword was precise and carried destructive power, breaking through everything in its Path.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Sword light struck down one after another. One of the Fatui Elites was cut down before he could react, blood splattering, his body torn apart by the sword light like a rag.
Another Elite struggled to dodge but was swiftly approached by Lin Mo.
Another sword strike directly knocked her weapon flying, and the blade again cut across her shoulder, knocking her heavily to the ground.
The remaining two Elites' eyes were filled with anger and fear; their morale had completely collapsed.
They hadn't expected to be so disheveled when facing an seemingly ordinary enemy like Lin Mo.
Although they tried to fight back, Lin Mo's swordsmanship was incredibly swift.
Every sword strike carried an irresistible force, making it almost impossible for them to parry.
"Fatui? When I refused your invitation, you should have understood that this is the price."
Lin Mo said coldly, his eyes filled with chill.
The Fatui Elites' eyes, besides anger, held a deep fear.
They finally understood that today's battle was destined to end in failure.
Soon, even the last remaining Fatui Elite with a Delusion was.
Before he could react, Lin Mo dealt with him on the spot.
"Quite easy."
Looking at the fallen Fatui Elites, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.
If it weren't for Clara's Power of the Path branch skill—[Family]—he would have been injured.
Thinking so, Lin Mo picked up the Delusion that had fallen to the ground.
Although he didn't need a Delusion.
But for him, having such a thing in his hands would be useful sooner or later.
At the same time, Lin Mo also looked at the flashing virtual panel in front of him.
[After the Wanderer organization learned of your strength, they were not angry that you dealt with their Wanderer organization members. Instead, they appreciated you and decided to send someone to invite you. Faced with the invitation from the Wanderer organization, you refused the invitation and received the Option Two reward (Enhancement Paste - Ice. A paste made by grinding materials that seem to possess the Power of the Path with other substances. Applying this paste to a suitable weapon can effectively strengthen it.)]
[Because you refused the invitation from the Wanderer organization, and when the Wanderer organization personnel arrived to invite you, you refused them, they became enraged and tried to kill you but were killed by you on the spot. The disappearance of the Wanderer Elite will draw the attention of the Wanderer organization. Next, you may face investigations and attacks from high-ranking Wanderer organization members, as well as attention from other forces. You choose...]
[Option One: Proactively apologize. One should know how to prepare for a rainy day. Even if you just cut down their people with a sword, it doesn't stop you from bowing your head and admitting your mistake now! You decide to proactively go to the Wanderer organization's headquarters, explain the misunderstanding with tears, and offer a table of good food and wine to make them feel better. Perhaps you can still survive. (Reward: The Dignity of a Trash Can. After use, our side's defense increases by 20% in the next battle. It's hard to explain why a trash can has dignity. But its dignity is truly very heavy.)]
[Option Two: Wait for the attack. Since things have already escalated, just wait and see! You safely return to your residence, eat and drink as usual, letting the Wanderer organization guess. Maybe they won't guess, and even if they do, then the Wanderer organization will come knocking, and you'll deal with them directly with your fists. Everything fears seriousness; let's see who can survive to the end! (Reward: Silvermane Guards Relic Set Piece: Silvermane Guards' Silver-Scaled Gauntlets. Silver-shining metal gauntlets with complex mechanical structures hidden within. Gauntlets blessed by the Power of the Path of Preservation, damage taken reduced by 8%)]
[Option Three: Be the first to accuse. You decide to seize the initiative and proactively tip off another powerful force—the Wildfire—claiming that infighting has occurred within the Wanderer organization, and take the opportunity to spread rumors and sow discord, making the Wanderer organization busy with internal strife and unable to deal with you. You can even imply that you are a victim, and perhaps even get reinforcements! (Reward: A piece of Preservation Building Material. Building material that seems to possess the Power of Preservation. When combined with water, it forms a paste; when exposed to air, it hardens into a solid. Please do not try to synthesize it with solid purified water. "We have studied the materials used by the great Amber Lord to forge the Aeon barrier, and unfortunately, the Genius Society is currently unable to analyze its composition." "It's definitely not cement—right, Talav?" )]
