The blade of wind severed her midsection cleanly since I managed to hit her right where the first wound had been. Blood sprayed as her lower body was cut away, leaving her torso in its lonesome with her arms flailing in the air helplessly. A blood-curdling scream ripped from her throat as she fell. Her body tumbled toward the ground in a grotesque spiral of agony and terror.
Whether she died mid-fall or when she hit the ground below, it didn't matter. There was no getting up from that.
Unless the Goddess decided otherwise.
[You've slain Anastasia Ashline (Level 17). You've gained 1561 XP.]
Nevermind then. The Goddess had no such plans for the pretty-faced archer girl. Still… 2 hits from my basic-tier spell. It was strong, sure, but I just killed a level 17 existence. Decades of grinding went down the drain because she had such bad defenses. Only light leather armor, acpanied by a neglected Vitality stat… What a horrible bo.
My Aurora and Seraphiel would be similarly easy to kill as well. We truly need to protect them.
[You've reached Primordial Level 19]
Great. To go to level 20 I'll need to pass the Primordial Rank-Up Mission once I've reached the last XP of level 19. I had no clue what kind of mission that could possibly be, so I might end up remaining at my current level for a while. I was in a pinch so I put my free stat points into Vitality. It's game over when my HP reaches 0, so as far as I'm concerned points there are never wasted.
[Air Slash] is quickly turning out to be one of my favorite Elemental Sovereign spells. It has three charges, all of which I spent by casting it in rapid succession just now, so sadly I'll be waiting for it to e off cooldown for a short while.
I spared her dismembered body only a glance before focusing back on the battlefield. There was no time to bask in the small victory- three more of her team remained, and the chaos around us showed no signs of slowing.
"Anastasia!!! No! Damn you, masked fucker!" A guy screeched at me as he stopped for a moment to watch his dying teammate's last moments. "How dare you?!"
Didn't you dramatic kids attack us first? There's no point in arguing with grieving people, so I didn't open my mouth. Well, I did, to cast [Earth Armor] and [Water Shield] on myself. There was a spear(wo)man, a dual sword-wielding guy who seemed to be the Phenom based on his antics, and a mage, who had already sent water bullets rippling through the air towards me. Read now on
I had to tank the shots, thus I had no choice but to cast the spells I did instead of doing my best to dodge out of the way. After all, if I did that, my beloved Aurora's or Seraphiel's bubbly butts might be endangered. I can't have that.
