Damon’s expression hardened. Three dots. Three remaining fla fragnts pulsing faintly within the almost fully drained Diadem of the Eternal Sun, each one a small fortune of power he had no intention of letting walk away.
Goldy buzzed around doing its best. To give the fire sprite its ti, Damon did not have to do much. He just needed to exchange a couple of attacks at most with the black robed man. However, he had no intentions of doing this casually.
The only reason the red-robed guy hadn’t killed Damon imdiately was because he had his own agenda. Sothing told Damon that this one definitely did not have any agenda like that. He would probably fight to kill the very first ti.
And if he was as powerful as the red-robed man, then could he withstand even a single attack from the man?
Damon decided that his best chance lay in trash-talking. "What? Co to pick up your princess?" He drawled, flashing a crooked grin as his aura flared crimson. "You Devereux lapdogs sure know how to clean up a ss. What’s next? You gonna tuck him into bed and sing him a lullaby?"
The black‑robed man’s head turned slightly.
"Oh, I’m sorry. Did I say sothing wrong?" Damon mocked, gesturing toward the unconscious Reynard. "I didn’t realize your master’s babysitter was on duty today. How many of you does it take to carry one burnt chicken off the battlefield?"
Damon barely closed his mouth when sothing shifted. Everything happened way too quickly, much quicker than he could react.
The man raised his free hand. Darkness condensed into a black blade, black fire running down its length. All Damon could see was that black blade, and the next mont, the blade was already in front of him, aid to strike him right at his chest.
There was nothing he could do. It was too fast. Before Damon could even think, the attack was already upon him. It was so sort of illusion trick. This was going to hurt like a bitch.
Damon braced himself for the damage as the attack passed through his armor, his items, his blood-barrier, and reached for him. It was just about to carve out a massive gash on his body and spill blood, when suddenly a loud clanging sound rang out.
Damon looked down to see that the attack was actually blocked before it could touch him!
And it was blocked by none other than the little black egg, which was stuck to his chest!
The little leech had co in clutch and helped him block a huge attack. Damon instantly shifted gears and prepared himself before another attack ca. He might have been caught off guard the first ti around, but it was not going to happen again.
Unfortunately, it looked like the black-robed man had no plans of sticking around and fighting with him. He had already disappeared along with Reynard.
"Sorry, bud. I tried." Damon told Goldy, who seed restless.
The sprite only managed to absorb one other fla fragnt before the two were gone. In total, it had gobbled ten out of the twelve fla fragnts. An impressive feat. After all, these fla fragnts were a part of a legendary item. But the little sprite did not look satisfied.
"It’s fine. We will get it next ti." Damon dusted it off and moved on. After all, there was a battle going on all around him. He couldn’t afford to be hung up on one little thing.
He first checked the state of the egg, and there did not seem to be any damage or even a slight scratch. The little leech was pretty tough. Maybe he needed to start using this a lot more to block attacks.
He then imdiately jumped back into action and got another guy who was trying to activate a magic scroll. Goldy, as well, went back to shooting out attacks randomly and repeatedly.
Damon only spared the little sprite a single glance when what he saw gave him a big surprise. The little sprite was now shooting out not one but two fla bullets at the sa ti. One reeked of hellfire while the other was actually solar fire!
Now it was doing double the damage it did before and on endless repeat mode!
Before, the damage number wasn’t high enough to make it significant. At max, it was just a bleed damage of 100 to 500. But now things were different. It was doing 500 to 1000!
This could easily add up over seconds and remove chunks of health from the opponent. The nasty part was that the sprite did not run out of mana, and it did not have any cooldown ti for the attack skill!
Seeing this, Damon imdiately had an idea. He had actually planned to try this out from the convenience of his blood hall soti later, but now seed as good a ti as any. Especially if it ant that this was going to improve Goldy’s attack power once again, making it a very real threat!
Without hesitation, Damon took out the lantern item dropped by Sanctifier Varro. "Goldy, can you absorb this thing, too?" Damon was not sure, but it was rumored that this lantern contained a spark of a high-tier holy fla fragnt that empowered a lot of Varro’s attacks. It was not quite a legendary item but it was extrely powerful, perhaps because of the single fla fragnt.
The next mont, just as he suspected, Goldy zapped towards the lantern in a straight line with a lot of enthusiasm. From the looks of it, it also did not have any restrictions. It seed capable of absorbing any type of fla fragnt, even a spark of the holy fire fragnt.
The little sprite zood directly into the center of the lantern. A ribbon of white-gold fire unspooled into the air. The little light inside the lantern then completely disappeared as Goldy shot out once more. Now it looked a lot more happier.
