Chapter 188: The Despair of Amonro III
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Grimm blasted a Fire Blast Spell and looked at the destruction he made far away while panting slowing.
The burning flames not only covered the giant flower bud completely, even the many low-level Amonros were all trapped inside. After a few breaths, the blazing flames turned into scattered Eternal Flames and continued to burn recklessly within the giant round pit that was formed.
‘Hm?’
Breathing heavily, Grimm was surprised to see that the giant flower bud in the burning pit was still not completely destroyed.
‘What? My attack of over 1000 points just now did not completely destroy this target!’ Grimm thought to himself in surprise.
But of course, the petals of the giant flower bud had melted and turned black. The mysterious item that the Amonros inserted into the flower bud previously had melted into liquid and was flowing out from the bottom of its stamens. Sounds of erosion could be heard when the liquid touched the ground, followed by a nauseating stench.
Slump!
As Grimm slightly missed the the center of his target with his Fire Blast Spell, the giant flower bud slanted towards one side and eventually fell to the ground within the giant pit.
And in that very giant pit, more than hundreds of low level Amonros had turned into ashes right after Grimm’s attack.
Although Grimm managed to kill more than hundreds of low level Amonros with one blow, they were just a tiny group among the enormous group of what seemed like thousands of creatures that were protecting the Enigmatic Castle. All of a sudden, even more low level Amonros rushed towards Grimm’s direction, they were trying to save the tumbling giant flower bud from collapsing.
These Amonros managed to extinguish Grimm’s Eternal Flame quickly with their body and continuous energy attacks. Thousands of infuriated Amonro army continued to rushed towards Grimm’s direction.
The giant flower bud wasn’t completely destroyed, but at least it had already lost its functionality to combat, Grimm’s mission was considered accomplished.
Boom!
“Ha-ha-ha-ha! Well done!” The level two sorcerer in the middle of the Neon Green Amonro army cheered. He then blasted a thunder attack. Although the thunder attack could only be a deterrence for those high level Amonros, it was enough to kill the low level Amonros.
Numerous lighting flashed down in no time and all the low level Amonros that were attacking Grimm turned into black ashes.
“Double Growling Ice!”
Milly and her Ice Phoenix both casted Frost Energy. Under her attack, large group of low level Amonros were completely frozen and disappeared as the ice cracked and broke into pieces.
Meanwhile, Nairo was being pestered by a few Neon Green Amonros which were moving swiftly. A long chain appeared in front of Grimm as Nairo pointed a finger towards his direction, helping Grimm to blocked the attacks of a few Neon Green Amonros.
From time to time, other dark sorcerers a.s.sisted Grimm as well. As for the rest, Grimm could only rely on himself to make sure he made it out of this war alive.
Grimm’s eyes flashed as he noticed countless heads of low level Golden Amonros and Enigmatic Amonros were running towards him from all directions, among them there were even two more Neon Green Amonros.
‘Things will get a bit trickier with this many of them.’
‘Should I escape from here and give up the reward sharing? Or should I try to collect more Amonro’s Despair for a little longer?’ Grimm hesitated.
At that moment, as Grimm ma.s.sacred more and more Amonros, his attack had reached between 23 to 24 points due to the complement of the Despair that he collected. He was still around 250 to 300 points away from his Despair research limit, which was quite a big gap. Based on his estimation, he still had a long way to go before he could reach his Despair research limit, which would only happen after he killed above ten thousands of Amonros.
In other words, initially Grimm could only blast a 380-point Fire Bat Spell by using his own Body of Flame and moving the lever of rules. But after he collected Despair until his research limit, his attack would reach above 600 points.
And this would only be Grimm’s most basic attack.
Based on this reasoning, combining the strong combat power of a Demon-Hunter, the high defensive ability of Sorcerer Barriers, the complement of Despair collection, and other advantages of using multiple tactics, one could already imagine how strong a professional Demon-Hunter could be during foreign world conquest.
“Hang in there! I have already requested for support from the surrounding Demon-Hunters with my Demon-Hunter Reinforcement Token!” Just when Grimm was hesitating, the level two thunder sorcerer yelled from the center of the Neon Green Amonro army.
Grimm finally made up his mind. He recharged the Magic Power in his body and waved his magic staff. The seven-meter-tall Greedy Flame Giant behind him howled and waved its giant elemental sword.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
While Grimm blasted continuous attack of Eternal Flames [1], he used his Ultrasonic Sorcery and Canine Olfactory Sorcery [2] to probe the enemies around him. Meanwhile, using the Mystic Eye of the Mask of Truth, he was able to dodge the Golden Amonros’ long tail attacks and launching counter-attacks effectively.
At that moment, Grimm had completely unleashed his full combat ability as a Demon-Hunter.
Grimm managed to dodge the attacks of a few low-level Enigmatic Amonros by using the gigantic figure of the Greedy Flame Giant as a s.h.i.+eld. Meanwhile, he was recklessly slaughtering the countless low-level Golden Amonros in front of him. A fan-shaped blazing flame blasted out from his magic staff. Every time Grimm moved, more than ten Amonros around him would be killed.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Grimm’s Sorcerer Barrier kept rippling as the countless heads of Amonros targeted their attacks towards him. Grimm lowered the defense power of his Sorcerer Barrier to 500 points in order to save his Magic Power consumption. As Grimm realized he would very soon be drowned in a sea of low-level Amonros, he shouted and blasted a repulsive force that sent hundreds of Amonros around him flying.
Grimm’s opened his Golden Eye and quickly scanned through the few nearest Amonros. The Amonros all turned into dry corpse and collapsed on the ground in no time. Yet, countless Amonros surrounded Grimm once again.
Grimm had no choice but to distort the s.p.a.ce around him and move to a different spot. The second after he moved, a struck of high pressure water pillar followed by thunderbolt landed on the spot where he was initially standing.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Many of the Amonros were pierced into half by the high-pressure water pillar, followed by a thunderbolt attack that completely turned their bodies into dark ashes.
All of a sudden, a vague energy surged towards Grimm. He focused his gaze and saw two Neon Green Amonros and one Enigmatic Amonro were heading towards him.
That Enigmatic Amonro was neither the same low-level Amonro that Grimm collected as a specimen nor the ones that the Greedy Flame Giant was fighting against. It was at least the same level as Grimm.
Based on rough estimation, the Enigmatic Amonro’s Const.i.tution would not be lower than 350 points.
And what’s more, the two Neon Green Amonros were highly resistant to any elemental energy, their Const.i.tution was around 200 points. Although they do not have any additional attacks like Anatomy Refinery Sorcerers [3], their highest attack could reach around 400 points.
During the last eight years prior to this foreign world conquest, Grimm made huge improvements on his overall strength by replacing Meditation with Const.i.tution training,
Mental Strength: 98, Magic Power: 919-1088.
Const.i.tution: 325, Stamina: 280-310, Strength: 227-631, Vitality: 180-26.
By taking the shortcut of performing anatomy refinery with the formulas that he found in the ancient voodoo scrolls, Grimm’s Const.i.tution has increased tremendously. He completed his Const.i.tution enhancement in two hundred years instead of the normal duration of a thousand years.
However…
This shortcut that Grimm took had turned his body to be highly ant.i.toxic and he was completely out of line with the basic research of anatomy refinery. It was very likely that Grimm wouldn’t achieve any results in anatomy refinery for the next two thousand years, hence one could argue that his method of giving up future growth potential for the sake of overnight ability enhancement was a very “foolish” thing to do.
Const.i.tution training was considered as pa.s.sive evolution due to its slowness, limitless growth and ability to acc.u.mulate. Therefore, usually the stronger a creature’s Const.i.tution, the older its age. The long life span of this kind of creature enabled them to acc.u.mulate exaggerating Const.i.tution.
On the contrary, although Elemental Sorcerers would face Mental Strength limitations and various disadvantages that came with their level advancement, whenever they discovered a profound sorcery, it would make an overwhelming improvement to their overall strength and ability.
Furthermore, as sorcerers advance their levels, more than anything else, only wisdom would bring them more success and achievements.
Grimm stopped paying attention to the countless low-level Amonros. Numerous fireb.a.l.l.s blasted as he waved his magic staff. His Eternal Flame and his enemies’ Enigmatic Energy devoured each other. His face was grave as he looked at the three powerful Amonros in front of him.
