Chapter 760: Mayhem
Glory Party and Skull Party, they already possessed a deep-seated hatred for each other. Thus, it was impossible for them to develop teamwork in fighting. It was only for the sake of getting in Skull"s good books, that Patrice acted so enthusiastically.
Without a doubt, if she could eliminate the two individuals before Glory Party and reaped the benefits, her position within the party would rise substantially, thereby allowing her greater benefits.
A long and narrow pa.s.sageway stretched ahead. Patrice could only hear the sound of her own footsteps and breathing. It didn"t seem like anyone could evade her eyes in this pa.s.sageway.
Thus, Patrice boldly crept forward and placed added focus onto the walls, ground, and ceiling, to guard against hidden trapdoors. The voluptuous Patrice failed to pay special attention ahead.
All of a sudden, she strongly sensed something ahead and immediately glanced up!
As she narrowed her eyes, roughly a hundred meters away, was shockingly Zi! Zi"s hair was fluttering around in mid-air.
The Zi who was wearing a mystifying Queen Bee masquerade mask.
The Zi whose eyes were shut!
This sensation was as if something was squeezing her soul out from her body.....causing Patrice to subconsciously cry out.
This was a sharp and ludicrous cry of sensing one"s life on the verge of extinction!
Then, a contemptuous smile surfaced on Zi"s lips.
Simultaneously, the crescent magic dagger she held emitted a melancholic glint.
At present, Zi hadn"t awakened her "Pa.s.sionless Dragonforce Bloodline" yet. Still, a hazy aura of absolute terror enshrouded her which created a stifling suffocating sensation in Patrice.
In this instant, Patrice realized that risking to scout ahead was a tremendous mistake.
The opponents were obviously not resigned to fate but preparing a boiling pot for their foes!
Nevertheless, it wasn"t by chance that Patrice could survive in the realm till now. She similarly possessed a life protecting element, but it was similar to the "Unmodeled Amnio Tank" that required an immense price! Unless it was absolutely necessary, she would definitely not utilize it.
In this instance, Patrice reckoned she had reached the last resort, still, she possessed one last life protecting ability.
Though she possessed a peerless figure, her heart was equally venomous. In Skull Party, she relied on her looks to allure men into offering their pomegranates. During those moments, she imprinted her "Windswap Marker" onto them.
This "Windswap Marker" was Patrice"s special ability. It wasn"t that useful in a direct battle but was exceptional in terms of life support. With the activation of her ability, she could instantly swap positions with a nearby marked individual.
Facing the threat of imminent death, Patrice immediately activated her "Windswap Marker" ability, and swapped positions with the nearest marked individual; tossing him straight in the face of Zi!
The nearest marked individual was called "Wild Dog", a person that garnered Skull"s appreciation. His fighting style was like a berserker.
In normal clashes, Wild Dog was one of the two fighters that received Skulls"s metal armour enhancement. One could imagine how redoubtable he was.
After being forcefully swapped, he cursed Patrice out loud as his messy hair fluttered like a fluffy dog. In a split second, he sensed the terrifying pressure coming from Zi ahead and instantly swung into battle mode!
Baring his bloodstained teeth, he didn"t retreat but crazily charged for Zi!
The reason he
he obtained such a standing in Skull Party was because of such crazy vigor!
His body blurred with breakneck mobility and an intense combat aura rippled out from him and into the air. Wild Dog eyes turned plump and tenderly red as though irrigated with blood, and combusted with an insane hatred.
With her eyes shut, Zi finally concluded her "Interceding" chant. Then, her crescent silver dagger swiftly carved around the air and formed a supreme and abstruse crest. It was indeed the Imperial crest of the Sith Empire of the Star Wars world.
The crest started spinning rapidly, before a green radiance emanated out from her gloves and mask before enveloping a distinct emerald coat around the crest. Indeed, that was the ability of drawing energies and "Intercession" of her set equipment.
Wild Dog howled furiously as he felt a frightening shadow covering his front. He clawed forth as sharp deadly white beams carved out five deep crevices along the wall, sending rocks scattering in the face of an unstoppable momentum.
However, when that large abstruse crest arrived a meter away from Wild Dog, it metamorphosed into a pitch-black, lofty hand with three muscular fingers and strangely long fingernails. Then, the hand gripped Wild Dog"s neck ferociously!
This was another derivative of Zi"s force abilities – Force Suffocation.
This ability was a persisting damage type ability, which summoned a Sith demon claw to strangle the enemy and terminate the enemy"s life with suffocating agony. Furthermore, upon killing the enemy, the Sith demon claw would convert a portion of the enemy"s life force into mana that returned to the caster.
To Zi, she personally didn"t favour this ability. Firstly, it required a chanting cast time and secondly, it was a single unit attack. Lastly, she loved to be widely involved in group battles and didn"t normally lack mana.
Hence, Zi would rather unleash her "Force Collision Walls" to repel charging enemies away, and earn precious opportunities for her party members; simultaneously preventing the enemies from getting too
getting too close.
Yet right now, with the buff of two dark-green set equipments, she immediately realized her "Force Suffocation" ability had transformed into an insurmountable killing tool!
Don"t mention about the significant boost to her attack damage, the 33% increase to its persisting damage duration could greatly speed up the triggering of the "Spirit Marshcrow" ability. Thus, she decided her opening move would be this "Force Suffocation" ability!
The "Spirit Marshcrow" ability required 6 instances of damage to be triggered. Without a persisting damage type attack, Zi would probably need 30 seconds to damage the enemy 6 times. With her "Force Suffocation" ability, she could possibly trigger the "Spirit Marshcrow" ability within just 10 seconds.
Meanwhile, Wild Dog was rampantly spearing forth when a sudden jolt of pain engulfed his neck.
When a terrifying gigantic demonic hand tightened around his neck, his vision turned dark as he groaned out in agony. He struggled to cut away this demonic hand, but brute force failed to even interact with this gripping phantom hand. Instead, the hand started dealing damages to him!
"Ahhhhh! d.a.m.ned woman, I will tear you apart!" Wild Dog"s muscles inflated impressively amidst the torment as all his blood vessels bulged up.
In his perspective, he could cover a hundred meters with a few measly seconds at full speed. Wild Dog was fully confident, he just needed another 1.7 seconds to pounce forward and dice this woman into pieces.
Yet in the next moment, Zi widened her eyes!
Her gaze was as deep as the ocean, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with charm and power that could drown anyone. In an instant, her gaze seemingly transformed into two incredibly incisive needles and pierced in towards Wild Dog"s eyes.
The air congealed a little and without any warning, punctured straight into the depths of Wild Dog!
Indeed, the ability that even Sheyan suffered greatly under.
Force Needle Explosion!
Wild Dog instantly felt as though his mental system was p.r.i.c.ked by millions of tiny knives. A buzzing sound popped in his head before an endless white appeared. This happened for an unknown long period before he regained his senses.
However, he found himself collapsed on the ground, as a lacerating agony ravaged his mind and blood gushed out from his eyes, nostrils, and ear holes.
To Wild Dog"s horror, he discovered his "Bioguard Rite" had been activated!!
"Bioguard Rite" was a silver storyline grade item that Wild Dog carried with him. It didn"t provide any attribute bonus but allowed one to store various medicines inside. The "Bioguard Rite" would strictly monitor the wielder"s body, and once it discovers the wielder is struck into near-death state, it would immediately activate the medicine placed inside regardless of the state the user was in.
By placing an honorary medicine into this tool, it undoubtedly meant an extra lifeline in battles!
With the activation of this "Bioguard Rite", Wild Dog became aware he had been struck into near-death state during his period of unconsciousness. Without the "Bioguard Rite" employing the medicine, Wild Dog believed he would have perished during the stunning period of the "Force Needle Explosion".
The horrified Wild Dog couldn"t help but check his combat log, which completely crumbled his fighting spirit in no time! A tremendous shadow of death cascaded down onto his soul.
"Holy, this demoness, her attack prowess...how can it be so perverse!!!!"
After all, Zi was a peak Growth-Hunter with incredibly deadly attack power. Moreover, her attack power was now bolstered with the 25% increase of the gloves" drawing energy property, and the 50% increase of the "Intercession" ability.
For an offensively strong but defensively weak individual like Wild Dog, the damage of "Force Suffocation" was naturally adequate to devastate him.
