The Villain's Story Chapter 386 [386] Endure For As Long As You Can!

Alan Peccator POV]

I ran through the forest, trying to escape the horde of Jiangshi behind .

[The Supre Dragon of Suleras urges you to escape the forest.]

Suleras said.

'I know!'

I scread in my head. I could handle these Jiangshi but the problem was I was not confident enough to take them on without sustaining even a single injury.

Every Jiangshi we're is a formidable martial artist.

[Shadow infection rate:4%]

And to make matters worse…this thing increased again.

This is increasing even though I haven't been touched at all…damn it.

[Supre Dragon of frost lanesha urges you to pay attention to your surroundings.]

I moved my head to dodge a tal arrow. It cut a few strands of my hair but fortunately, I was able to avoid an injury.

"Damn it"

I cursed.

I ran further ahead, without caring for the trees. I made the mana around denser so I would breathe through.

[Heavenly Sky Spear]

[Heavenly thrust!]

Thankfully, the spear proved effective against Jiangshi.

[Supre Dragon of Lanesha urges you to pay attention to your surroundings! Think of another way besides running!]

[Shadow Infection rate 5%.]

OK, calm down. I need to listen to Lanesha and Suleras!

[Draconic Transformation is being activated.]

I transford into a Frost draconian and flew high up, I destroyed the trees and soared high into the skies.

But things didn't go according to plan.

Thousands of aura slashes ca at , I conjured up a shield of Ice to protect myself.

[Frost Shield has been activated.]

However, there were just too many. The aura slashes bombarded the Frost Shield and Slowly by slowly cracks were ford.

'Hmmm….'

As I saw the shield breaking, I prepared to cast a few glaciers and rain a frozen hell upon the Jiangshi but…

Sothing coiled around my foot.

As I looked down to see what it was…I found it out to be a vine.

'Eh?'

Before I could process anything, I was dragged towards the forest.

[Supre Dragon of chaos Suleras says he told you to pay attention!]

"Could you maybe shut up?!"

I used the skill [Chaotic Vigor] possessed by my armor and fired a Chaos blast downwards. Towards the source of the vine.

A large explosion lit up the dark world.

But I was not done.

Another.

Another.

Another!

I fired multiple chaos blasts till the entire forest beneath was decimated! A large crater lay beneath .

I descended into the crater when I saw multiple other vines reaching for .

When I descended, they retreated away and the jiangshi appeared once again.

'So they attack only if I am away from the forest.'

I thought. At first, I was wondering why the infection rate was increasing despite my not having co into contact with Jiangshi…

Only now did I realize it was because the entire forest was a shadow being…

The infection rate was increasing because of that.

[Supre Dragon of Frost Lanesha warns you to be careful.]

"I know."

I unleashed all of the Ice mana I had into the surroundings.

[GLACIER has been activated.]

It would be too much to use Glacial collapse here…so this is better.

Multiple glaciers fell from the sky and ford a circle around . Acting like a kind of wall.

I controlled the ice mana in the surroundings and cast even more skills.

'The objective is to survive…'

I muttered as I planned to create a large do around . One that would hold for as long as I wanted.

[Frost shields have been activated.]

I closed the do off with multiple shields of frost, each layered on top of another.

'Now…only one thing remains.'

I set up a gravity field and compressed the Ice as much as I could, making it tougher.

Now, it could truly be called an impenetrable defense.

The space inside the do is devoid of Shadow mana, so the infection rate wouldn't increase.

I enforced the sa further with my mana.

I don't know how many attacks are coming from the outside…but damn is the do shaking.

"Hooo…."

Most escaped from my mouth as I declared.

"I can do this…I just have to endure."

Endure until the ti limit ends, and I pass this floor.

I just have to endure.

********

[Wall of fla has been activated.]

[Fire storm has been activated.]

[Hellfire has been activated.]

Elijah activated all sorts of skills of the Elent of Fire and created a fiery hell around him.

He was constantly firing off any wide-area skill he could use!

[Supre Dragon of Fire Agri tells you to keep it like this.]

Advised Agri, Elijah yelled at him.

"I know!"

He was panicking currently, he didn't have any skills that could create a solid barrier that he could use to fend off the Jiangshi, all he could do was fire any skills he had! Continuously.

"How long do I have to do this?!"

He questioned, And the tower responded.

[Until the ti limit ends.]

"Fuck you!"

Elijah cursed the tower.

[Fire breath has been activated.]

[Fire Lance has been activated.]

[Fire Physique has been activated.]

The Jiangshi were endless, but Elijah still dodged the aura slashes that made it past the Roaring flas.

[Shadow Infection rate: 6%]

Goddamnit!

He cursed in his mind.

He took in a deep breath, his chest puffed up and his neck glowed red.

[DRAGON FIRE has been used.]

Elijah used one of the strongest skills he had and decimated the ranks of the Jiangshi. Half of the Forest was gone due to the effects of Dragon Fire!

It surged forth like a laser beam and burnt everything to ash. Thousands of jiangshi were burnt to a crisp…

But tens of thousands remained.

"damn it!"

Elijah cursed as he took out an item from his inventory.

A ring made entirely of gold.

Elijah hurriedly inputted his mana inside the ring and it glowed with an intense light.

[Empire's Call has been used.]

[The black Tortoise Battalion has been summoned!]

Multiple knights, each wearing a set of extrely heavy armor and bulky shields, stepped out from portals created by the ring. These were all fueled by Elijah's mana.

This was Elijah:a reward for clearing the 20th floor. A ring that could call the forces of the Empire for help.

The Black Tortoise knights ford a circle around him and made a shield formation.

"Endure for as long as possible!"

Ordered Elijah, as he prepared himself for the worst.

He yelled once again, trying to motivate the knights.

"Endure only for a while!"

He hoped his mana would last long enough…lest he be devoured by the Jiangshi.
