Chapter 1475: Tactics
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Alarm rose in G.o.d of Lightning"s heart when he saw Kieran smile, but before he could size up the expression, Kieran"s attacks landed like a storm.
Sssss Ssss!
Amid the sudden hisses, giant black snakes, as thick as a barrel and a dozen meters long, with spear-like horns on its head and blade-like fangs in its mouth, sprung out from the ground.
The moment the snakes sprung out, they bound the G.o.d of Lightning tightly.
G.o.d of Lightning"s 5 meter tall body seemed small beside the giant snakes, but the electric current that came out of his body roasted one snake after another.
However, there were too many snakes, after the first wave was roasted to bits, another wave soon followed.
[Sword Skill, Myriad Viper]!
After Kieran"s Spirit reached rank V-, the special sword skill from Viper Sect had gone through drastic changes.
Despite the changes not being stated in the description, the attack of the skill itself did change.
The "snakes" that grew together with Kieran"s Spirit didn"t just get thicker and stronger, they became extremely real, to the point where it could easily deceive people.
Even G.o.d of Lightning didn"t realize the snakes were just illusions.
Kieran was looking forward to the day [Sword Skill, Myriad Viper] truly went through a qualitative change.
But now?
After getting a general range of where the G.o.d of Lightning"s Spirit ranked with [Sword Skill, Myriad Viper], Kieran quickly gave up on his backup plan and activated [Half-Dead"s Gaze] without a second thought.
Two abysmal glares were fired into G.o.d of Lightning"s eyes.
Countless electric currents were blasted off as G.o.d of Lightning freed himself from the waves of snakes, but when he caught the glare, his body shook for a second and his face instantly went dull.
Kieran sighed in his heart when he saw the scene.
It seemed like the G.o.d of Lightning"s Spirit hadn"t reached rank V-. His Spirit rank was around rank IV+, hence [Half-Dead"s Gaze, Deadman"s Gaze] had successfully activated but it couldn"t trigger [Fear Illusion].
Despite being a little disappointed, Kieran, who was well-prepared, put on his Unique t.i.tle [Blade of the Daybreaker] without the slightest delay.
Dawn arrived in an instant.
A dark veil as deep as night shrouded the entire grand hall.
When the light of dawn appeared in the middle of the darkness, three pitch-black slashes landed on G.o.d of Lightning.
[Dawn Sword Veil]!
Creating copies of the equipped weapon with all the existing attributes and effects, able to attack or defend based on the skills of the user, was no doubt a skill that relied heavily on the user and the equipped weapon.
As long as the equipped weapon and the user were decent, its explosive power would shock the opponent.
The sword that Kieran was currently wielding, [Extreme Night], had been through multiple repairs before it finally displayed its original might: rank IV rarity and attack!
The attack skill from the sword [Night Slash] also reached rank IV attack.
After losing the preemptive strike, even G.o.d of Lightning fell into a series of agonizing cries after being slashed thrice.
“Aaaaaargh! You will be electrocuted into as.h.!.+”
Damaged, G.o.d of Lightning roared loudly out of pain, a bolt of lightning as huge as a small building coming down from the sky.
The roof was blasted into bits in an instant and the bolt of lightning went straight for Kieran without stopping.
However, three layers of black moving light swiftly appeared and surrounded Kieran.
With [Dawn Sword Veil]"s perfect copy, three copies of [Extreme Night] didn"t just possess rank IV attack with [Night Slash], they also had rank IV defense with [Night Veil].
Kakroooom!
Three layers of [Night Veil] overlapped each other and the bolt of lightning landed precisely on the defensive black light.
The first layer shattered upon impact.
The second layer lasted around a second before following the same fate.
The third layer lasted longer. although it eventually shattered, the bolt of lightning weakened and no longer able to threaten Kieran.
Another layer of icy frost formed a st.u.r.dy s.h.i.+eld in front of Kieran.
[Seattle Right Hand, Ice Hand s.h.i.+eld]!
The remaining bolt of lightning struck the ice s.h.i.+eld and left cracks all over. A second later, the ice s.h.i.+eld shattered and a blast of freezing air spread out in every direction.
Starting from Kieran, a 10 meter radius area was instantly turned into ice, including G.o.d of Lightning.
G.o.d of Lightning was already blue, but after the freezing air struck him, he looked like a profound, gastly sapphire statue. However, a weird bolt of lightning was wreaking havoc in his body.
[Ice Hand s.h.i.+eld] was not just used in defense; when the ice s.h.i.+eld shattered, it blasted off an Advance Rank freezing air and returned 30% of the damage to the foe.
The 30% return damage was nothing to the G.o.d of Lightning, but it was enough to anger him.
“You little…”
Before he could finish, his face turned dull again.
Kieran had used [Half-Dead"s Gaze, Deadman"s Gaze] again, followed by another three [Night Slash] from the three copied [Extreme Night].
Sou Sou Sou!
Three pitch-black slashes landed on the G.o.d of Lightning again.
Agonizing cries and painful growls sounded again, but this time, the heavy bolt of thunder didn"t occur. It seemed like even for G.o.d of Lightning, that kind of powerful lightning was not something that he could call down freely.
Kieran was different though, able to easily repeat his attacks at his free will.
He activated [Half-Dead"s Gaze, Deadman"s Gaze] again at the screaming G.o.d of Lightning and three more slashes from [Night Slash] followed closely behind.
Puk!
This time, the three [Night Slash] finally tore the blue skin of G.o.d of Lightning, blood-like liquid sparkling with electric current gus.h.i.+ng out from the wounds.
“YOU SHALL DIE!”
G.o.d of Lightning charged towards Kieran, dissregarding his injuries.
Kieran didn"t dodge, or rather, he couldn"t dodge at all.
The G.o.d of Lightning charged towards him in the form of a bolt of lightning.
It was too fast for Kieran to dodge but he could still defend against it.
Three more layers of [Night Veil] rapidly formed around him.
BANG!
G.o.d of Lightning crashed on the defenses of [Night Veil]. The first layer shook violently upon impact and when he raised his fist against it, the first layer of [Night Veil] shattered with a pak, but it was just the first layer, two more layers of defenses around Kieran still standing.
While G.o.d of Lightning pushed his way through the first layer, the three copies of [Extreme Night] floating around Kieran were attacking him relentlessly, the previous wounds getting bigger with the furious attacks.
“Aaaaargh!”
An angry roar came from G.o.d of Lightning.
He had never been in such a suppressed fight since he had become a G.o.d.
Should he attack, he couldn"t penetrate through Kieran"s defenses in a short time.
Should he defend, Kieran"s attacks would be weird and quick, each attack that landed on his body causing excruciating pain.
Should he stall? He couldn"t afford to stall the battle, because the G.o.d of Lightning knew he would ultimately lose in the end.
Therefore, he was left with one option.
Even before he fully recovered to his prime, he had no intention of activating this last ace card, but he didn"t care anymore in such a desperate situation.
“Who do you think you are? A demiG.o.d dares to insult my divine might!? I will teach you… Aarh! What have you done? You b.a.s.t.a.r.d?!”
G.o.d of Lightning widened his blue eyes, electric currents outflowing. He shouted at Kieran like he was declaring his anger, but right away, his face turned sour and a cry of shock soon followed.
