I enjoyed the winter storm that further obscured the view as my figure silently stood in the air. I looked down towards an individual who was blatantly releasing their dangerous aura without care. A few tents were cl.u.s.tered under the shade of trees, with this figure standing alone outside and staring blankly towards the path leading to the Shadow Dukedom.
I focused as I prepared to move against this power of the next rank. I put everything aside as I looked to these people I would be embroiled in a battle with. I didn’t know them, and they didn’t know . But they wanted to harm soone I had plans for, so I would steel my heart and fight.
My figure was fully hidden with multiple skills as well as the Veiled Suit, making sure nobody could see coming. Even though I was confident in the defensive skills, it didn’t an I would have to be reckless. I would attack while still hidden in the dark.
I counted one EPIC ranked rcenary and 9 S ranks. My focus would mostly be placed on the most powerful one. I breathed out as I prepared for the on coming battle.
I started off with a small welco of multiple casts of [Devastation]. Rifts in space opened up as wriggling destructive pillars of lightning and molten flas sn.a.k.e.d their way towards the enemy.
Barely a second passed before the rcenary reacted and took up a stance. A wild look appeared on the rcenary’s face the mont she saw the rifts opening up as her body began to shine golden.
"YAAAA!"
With a shout, a golden bell ford the mont the skills sn.a.k.e.d towards her.
BOOM!
Pandemonium ensued as the attacks connected, the golden light shining strongly and holding on as the nearby rank S rcenaries were blown away. The EPIC ranked rcenary looked around the ensuing destruction to find her attacker, but she was t with a dark aura plaguing her body as [Enfeeble] was casted. The spell ignored her defenses as it struck her and weakened the golden bell she had erected, causing the attacks from [Devastation] to connect.
OOONG!
I began feeling the exhilaration of conducting the battle in the dark as the essence around the rcenary roiled. A spectacular skill was being casted from her. The damage from [Devastation] was pushed away as a transparent figure began forming around the rcenary.
The rank S that were flung back were about to jump to block the incoming attacks when they stood back stupefied at the sight of their leader. The transparent figure of the skill she had casted held a long sword, its body boasting an incredible size of more than 8 ters.
VOOM!
The essence around us roiled as the being was fully ford. The figure of the EPIC ranked rcenary could now be seen in the transparent belly of the incarnation she had casted, each of her movents being duplicated to perfection as sharp winds ca out from the large transparent thing holding a long sword. The roiling snakes of flas and lightning were all blocked as the figure stood imposingly to et my next attack as I remained in the dark.
So this was an EPIC ranked individual. The power it let off was definitely higher than my S summon or the [Devastation] skill. But since I could cast them multiple tis without reservation, I would make up for the lack of power in quantity! This wasn’t to ntion powerful support skills like [Aura of Belligerence] that further increased my damage, making confident if my skills weren’t already packing firepower equal to EPIC, they were nearing.
As the rcenaries waited for the next attack, what t their eyes was a grotesque beast that was even larger now that it was S ranked. The Virulent Abomination that had beco a Plague Bearer appeared with wide green wings outstretched. Poison was constantly falling off its body in blobs of green that smashed into the ground
As soon as the expanded rcenary saw the monstrosity, the large body moved with a speed that it shouldn’t have as its sword struck down with a beautiful circular swing. My summon did not evade the incoming sword, its belly rumbling as its mouth unnaturally opened more than a ter wide.
[Poisonous Breath], a skill unique to the Plague Bearer was casted.
The air trembled as this skill made its appearance. Green and murky, with an unbearable stench, the noxious collection of liquid and fus ca out to cover the entirety of the rushing figure.
BOOM!
The large sword of the expanded rcenary smashed into my summon, knocking it down and nearly splitting it in half. But, like a sticky material, its two sides were slowly joining back together as [Saint’s Return] was already active and healing its injured body while continuing to provide buffs.
Using [Regal Archer’s Eyes], I could see the figure of the woman in the enclosed transparent incarnation move in pain. Her left arm had turned a deadly shade of green as the figure she commanded did the sa. She could not completely evade the [Poisonous Breath].
I tried to remain as emotionless as possible, and casted more [Devastation], as well as giving another command to the upgraded and healed summon. Its other newly gained skill, [Defiler] could not be put to full use as there were not many corpses nearby. 2 rank S rcenaries had already t their end from being too close when the [Poisonous Breath] landed, with the rest of them going further in the distance as they tried to jump into the fight with panic
To them, only a single enemy had appeared, and even after taking a strike from the most powerful person there, it just closed itself up like it was nothing.
OOOH!
The Plague Bearer howled as its wings flapped, rushing towards the 8 ter incarnation once more. The roiling snakes of flas and lightning that completely ignored it and smashed into the enemy gave a fantastic picture of this grand battle. The EPIC ranked rcenary wasn’t for show, as the incarnation holding a sword she had casted was becoming more and more solid as ti passed.
Its blade beca faster as it rushed towards the summon. The sight in front of was hard to describe. The 8 ter tall figure that enveloped the EPIC rcenary was moving as if it was the lightest thing in the world, the long blade in its hands spinning beautifully in the air as the summon continued to evade the strikes. One of them finally connected.
THUCK!
The blade wedged itself deep into the body of the Plague Bearer that was now over 6 ters. It pierced from the front to the back completely, and without reservation, the summon continued forward. Its wings flapped behind it as it ignored all the damage and ca close to the belly of the incarnation where the rcenary was hiding in.
Green smoke roiled out as two green bodies unnaturally appeared, flinging themselves towards the figure of the large incarnation as well. These were the two dead rank S rcenaries that fell from [Poisonous Breath]. Their arms flailed as they seed like the fastest zombies alive, reaching and sticking to the EPIC ranked rcenary’s large figure in an instant
This was the second skill that the upgraded summon could now use, [Defiler]. When I first watched this skill in action, too many grand ideas popped up as I saw the summon controlling the bodies of dead beasts and flinging them around like poisonous bombs.
A cruel smile seed to appear on the Plague Bearer’s wretched face as it reached the position it wanted. The 2 dead beings it controlled through the skill began expanding dangerously while stuck to the transparent figure as both them and the body of the Plague Bearer...exploded.
BOOM!
The impact shook the surrounding 15 ters as green muscle, pus, and bones flew out, knocking the large bladed figure backwards as screams rang out.
