Dark tattoos appeared on Himura’s pale grey skin, resembling so ancient patterns. They glowed with dim and gloomy lights as his stats rose sharply alongside his connection with nature and mana in the surroundings, particularly with the elent of darkness and wind.
These tattoos were one of the natural gifts of the elves, which varied depending on which tribe they belonged to. It was similar to the other innate racial class that the elven tribes had, but these tattoos were much more powerful and had direct and noticeable effects once activated.
Moreover, these tattoos could only be awakened once the players reached Tier 3 of their respective class and awakened the bloodline powers of their race. Regardless of whether they went through the direct evolution of their basic and common race or if they used the path of Ascended Beings, these tattoos would always appear, tracing their original roots.
Boom!
Adding the special features of his class, the changes in his appearance and the aura surrounding him beca more noticeable.
The wind and shadow intertwined and wrapped themselves on his bow, changing its appearance. The already longbow beca a bit longer with its shaft being covered with shadow elents along with the green runes that represented the elent of wind.
Each tip of the bow also ford a small blade that was curving outwards, sowhat resembling a hook.
The bowstring, on the other hand, turned a little translucent as the power of wind enveloped it, occasionally blowing with its gentle breeze.
All these only took an instant, giving him plenty of ti to avoid the incoming sword strikes of the Blazing Brilliance that finally reached him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The bright traces of the fla filled the air as Himura agilely avoided every one of them, leaving only his shadows behind.
After failing to hit Himura even after multiple tries, the skeleton knight suddenly stopped before its left hand let go of the handle of the broadsword and extended it forward.
Swoosh!
A mont later, the bright embers filling the air suddenly beca ’alive’ right before they were about to dissipate. Then they gathered and focused on a single point, which they turned into a slender hand that stretched forward and flew straight to Himura.
Seeing that, Himura suddenly halted, especially after realizing that it was impossible to escape from the blazing hand given its speed.
He spun while twirling his longbow, using the sharp and dagger-like tips of the bow to slash the incoming blazing hand and shred it into embers.
Swoosh!
Seemingly expecting this to happen, the Blazing Brilliance was already sprinting forward and reached its target within an instant.
It stopped before Himura while swinging its broadsword.
Shing!
Clang!
But before it could even reach far, sothing hard blocked its path and halted its advance.
Himura anticipated the attack had raised his blow. He was also pulling the bowstring and taking aim at point-blank range with an arrow fully ford by mana, loading with a lot of power.
This skeleton knight might be tough, but he did not believe that it would be able to withstand such a close-range attack.
Twang!
Swoosh!
Boom!
The arrow released such a range could be either easy or hard to avoid depending on the capabilities of the opposing party. But given that Himura had superior fighting capabilities and richer experience, he believed that Chaotic Luck would have a harder ti trying to save this skeleton knight.
"Huh!?"
Unfortunately, his expectation was slightly off the mark as the one who had trained this guy was a devious guy much scarier than him.
If you could not match your opponent with superior combat prowess even with multiple undead monsters, then create a powerful undead that could cover all your weaknesses – this was what Chaotic Luck had learned from Shin.
Not only it could solve his weakness when it ca to controlling a huge group of undead monsters at once, which was supposed to be the major style of his class, but it could also let him focus on fighting without thinking about any consequences.
The Blazing Brilliance, which was a Death Knight Variant, followed the principle of undead monsters which encompassed almost all the requirents ant for a perfect soldier.
It had powerful abilities, superior combat prowess, great offensive power, and strong defensive capabilities. It was like an elite soldier, ant to protect its master, which was why a Death Knight was a necessity for a Necromancer Class.
It was a trump card of the said class.
Then what would happen if you focused on nurturing sothing like this into an even more perfect protector? Focusing most of your resources and ti on making it stronger, transforming it into the greatest guardian that you could ask for?
Chaotic Luck had spent most of his funds just to nurture these skeleton knights, so it shouldn’t be sothing that could be taken lightly, especially when the main channel of resources of the Empyrean Talons was the best among anyone else.
The current equipnt that this Blazing Brilliance was wearing was sothing that the ’common’ people could only dream of. Its armor and main weapon were crafted by the best of the best, the Chief Blacksmith of the Hand Midas, Black Hamr!
Adding the resources that Chaotic Luck had provided, including his ’allowance’ from the Empyrean Talons, this set of equipnt would be able to rival even the equipnt of most top experts of the ga, if not surpass them.
Roar!
The skeleton knight roared as it pressed forward, resuming its insane assaults.
Himura could not help but frown deeply after seeing that the skeleton knight barely suffered any damage from such a powerful skill.
He only realized what had happened after seeing the blazing barrier protecting the skull of the other party. It was a very advanced equipnt skill that could rival even the most powerful defensive skill of a top tank of the top-notch forces.
As he was busy dealing with attacks of the Blazing Brilliance, a huge shadow was suddenly cast upon him, making the surroundings sowhat dark.
Slightly raising his head, he saw that the Sol Behemoth that he had barely stopped earlier finally arrived before him and swung its massive fist downward.
Swoosh!
Without any hesitation, Himura used one of his movent skills to retreat!
Boom!
Dirt and mud flew in every direction as the Sol Behemoth slamd its fist on the swamp.
This was the start of an intense battle between Himura and the two elite undead monsters under Chaotic Luck.
Boom! Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Himura moved like a ghost as he fought against the Blazing Brilliance and the Sol Behemoth. The two worked together to try taking him down, but the forr was still a veteran Peak Titled Ranker regardless.
But compared to the earlier exchanges when he was fighting the cannon fodders of the Legion of the Chaotic Sun that lasted for dozens of minutes, the pace of this battle was so fast that people watching from the live stand and official broadcast were unable to follow completely.
This signified that regardless of the situation, an expert was still an expert. But at the sa ti, Chaotic Luck also showed not only his real capabilities but also his insane potential.
After quite a while, so of the experts watching realized that this battle beca a ’showcase’ for this rookie on the professional scene rather than an official match.
Aside from that, it seed to be a form of training to help Chaotic Luck to improve throughout the battle. So areas signified a noticeable growth from this rookie, particularly when it ca to battling a fad individual and experienced veteran in such an intense and competitive competition.
They did not know whether it was just an accident or if it was purposely ’arranged’ by the person behind sending Chaotic Luck as the first combatant for this match.
…
Boom!
Chaotic Luck could not help but frown deeply as he let Himura slip away once again. Even if he was confident that the other party would never be able to find him due to his current location being too far from the battlefield, he still felt very troubled by the current situation.
He might have the advantage in this situation, especially when his legion was already enclosing the encirclent, which was soone of a countdown for Himura. But he knew better than anyone that he was also in a similar situation.
He had already sowhat surpassed his current limit when supporting his entire legion. Even if the tournant rules did not forbid anyone from using potions during the battle, it would still require him quite a lot to keep everything.
He had already made so calculations and knew that he would not be able to keep everything on the field even with the help of the Master Rank Potions filling his inventory bag.
It was because he had to transfer more of his mana to supply enough energy for the Blazing Brilliance and Sol Behemoth to the field. Even if these two had their respective mana reserves, he still had to give them his mana for them to execute more complicated moves.
Aside from that, keeping the ’Shared Vision’, ’Long-Distance Enchantnt’, and ’Remote Controlling’ active consud quite a lot of mana as well, further increasing his consumption.
On top of these, his consumption and willpower would not be able to keep up with him. He was even feeling dizzy right now for doing all of these at once.
Based on his current limit, he could only summon one more elite undead monster to help the other two on the field while also having a spare to keep all his soldiers.
He could not give up anything on the field as it would affect his plans. He could not even lessen the number of the legion as it would weaken the encirclent, which Himura could use to escape.
Thinking about this, Chaotic Luck finally decided to take a gamble and bet everything by adding more elite undead in the formation.
Starting that ti, he would only have a few minutes to end the battle or else he would lose.
