Chapter 1069 Summons
[Naga]
[Legendary Beast - Level 95]
[Battle Power - 375]
Looking at the towering figure standing before his eyes, Ery subconsciously swallowed his own saliva. The blue slithering giant should be included in the list of the strongest creatures that Ery had to face, as it was comparable in strength, if not stronger, to the Beholder.
Krieeeekkk!!!
Thanks to the data he read before traveling to this island, Ery knew that the beast was intelligent and possessed an ability that allowed it to possess command over other lizard-type creatures weaker than it. On top of that, it also had one annoying special ability that was emphasized in the data ti and ti again.
Magic resistance.
If what was written in the data wasn't wrong, the magic resistance the Naga possessed innately could nullify up to eighty percent of the magic thrown at it, rendering magic attacks almost aningless. Therefore, the most optimal way to take it down was using physical-based attacks; and luckily, Ery had plenty of such attacks.
Even though his current situation was really not a suitable ti to think about training, Ery still cast [Mineralized Warrior] and summoned an army of Mineralized Soldiers. He decided on this decision after considering things through.
With the trendous boost provided by his [Twilight Transformation], Ery could empower the output of his spell and break through his limit, creating a total of 400 Mineralized Warriors at once while reserving so of his spirit pool for his own use.
This massive army would then help Klea fight the other 18 legendary creatures, while he focused his attention on the Naga, aiming to defeat it as quickly as possible.
"Leave them to ! Go kill that slimy goo!" said the girl excited to fight her own battle.
As Ery's figure shot towards the Naga, three sharp blades shot out from his two clenched hands, ready to be used as weapons and tore apart anything they touched.
Swish!
Ery arrived in front of the Naga and swiftly swept his bared claws towards it, but they only hit empty air. Surprisingly, the legendary beast possessed agility that did not correspond with its massive body. It dodged the attack by leaning its body to the side and slithering on the ground at high speed.
After gaining so distance, the Naga then retaliated against Ery by lashing its long, large tail at him. Knowing that he would not be unscathed receiving such an attack, Ery quickly cast [Blink] then cast another spell soon after.
[Jade Root]
The ground around the beast suddenly erupted, dozens of green roots the size of an arm erging from within. They quickly crept onto the Naga's long body, restricting its movent enough to lower its speed.
Krrieeekkk!!
Seeing it being restrained by the spell, Ery quickly went in as he knew the restraint would not last long. Luminous lights revolved around his body as he employed his new battle art [Rake Strike].
Splat!
KRRIIIEEEEKKK!!!
In the next second, a piercing loud shriek resounded in the area as the Naga was stabbed in its spine just below its neck. Driving his claws deeper into the beast's flesh, Ery quickly used his innate skill.
[Spirit Devour]
A stream of energy flowed into his body as soon as the skill was activated, but Ery could tell that the rate of his devouring this ti slowed down significantly. Apparently, the beast's magic resistance worked the sa on his [Spirit Devour] skill as well.
Feeling its own essence being sucked out, the Naga exploded in anger and went berserk. It broke free from the roots that bound it and swung its tail violently, hitting Ery on the side and sending his body flying a dozen ters.
Ery quickly tried to regain control of his body that was flung through the air, spinning his body to discharge the remaining montum. But as soon as his feet landed on the ground, blood spurted out of his mouth.
He stared at the Naga with a grim expression, thinking that the beast indeed had a battle power comparable to him. Therefore, any mistake even if it was small could be extrely fatal.
On the other hand, a wisp of smoke appeared on the Naga's body, at the exact spot where Ery had just inflicted a wound. When it dissipated, the three holes made by his claws no longer existed, as if nothing had happened at all.
In an instant, Ery's gloomy expression grew even grimr at that. It was apparent that the beast possessed self-regeneration ability as well. Once again, the Naga solidified its position in Ery's mind as a troubleso foe to deal with.
Ery was unable to effectively use all his offensive magic at the beast, so the battle just beca another brawl.
After the short bout where they hurt each other, the fight between Ery and the Naga continued for a few more minutes.
By this ti, the forr's situation didn't look too good. Not only were more than half of his 400 summons already destroyed, but two more packs of lizards also arrived upon the Naga's summon and joined the fray.
The scale quickly tipped in the creatures' favor and before they got overwheld, Ery decided it was ti for them to retreat. He cast [Blink], appearing next to Klea and Twik, and grabbed the two of them before creating [Spatial Gate].
"Let's go, Klea. We are still not ready to fight them yet," said Ery calmly, noticing her gaze at him. Even though she still wanted to fight, Klea nodded her head in response.
The two of them escaped from the cave and appeared at the safe spot they had scouted earlier. The mont the Spatial Gate closed, Ery sat down and assud the lotus position, using his [Spirit Absorption] to absorb all the energy he had devoured.
[Spirit force has increased]
[Spirit force has increased]
Ery had managed to devour at least 70 of those creatures, but he had only gained two points of spirit power. He couldn't help but heave a sigh at such an outco, knowing that now he was at the peak of his mid-stage Rank 9, progress beca even more difficult.
At this mont, Klea opened her mouth.
"So what do you want to do now?"
Turning to her and erasing his disappointnt, Ery replied, "We'll try again of course, but not now. Give a few hours to prepare."
When he closed his eyes, what ca into his mind was the fight he had with Jai, against his powerful tallic humanoids.
Inspired to improve his summons, over the past few days Ery had been constantly pushing his [Mineralized Warrior] spell to its limit. Thanks to that, he had now gained a certain, newfound understanding of the spell; he believed now was the ti to give it a try.
