Chapter 252 (2/2)

1198!

My body turned cold again as an Ice Dragon Howl struck me and put me in the red. Dominating Soul was attacking me again after killing my Dark Wasp, and his powerful spell had an immediate effect on the battle! I really needed to deal with him as soon as possible!

”Gulp!”

+2500!

I downed a Rank 8 Health Potion, making my heart ache. There was no replenis.h.i.+ng this precious potion until Lin Yixin could produce more!

I stabbed an a.s.sa.s.sin right through the chest while he was halfway unleas.h.i.+ng his skill, Cold Blade. His level was too low, and his technique too inferior. I had seen through his stealth even before he got close to me. It was like he was asking me to be put out of his misery!

Suddenly, a cold chill entered my grip from the Purgatory Sword. Finally, I had triggered the weapon's Outstanding property!

Rustle rustle...

I adjusted my posture on a gra.s.sy land and swung out my sword. The Purgatory Slash flew straight toward my enemy!

Boom!

The group of melee players charging toward me collapsed to the ground. The Purgatory Slash was even stronger than the Thousand Mirage Slash, so there was no chance they were going to survive the attack. Luo River G.o.d of the Capital was able to wipe the floor with the entire Flower Room because she had a 2-star Outstanding Purgatory Scepter, so it shouldn't be impossible for me to do the same with this 50-man party using my 3-star Outstanding Purgatory Sword!

The reason I didn't say that it was a sure thing was because as a melee cla.s.s, I barely had any AoE skills at all. Unlike mages, I couldn't destroy entire armies with the flick of a hand.

The 50-man party was reduced to less than 10 after the Purgatory Slash, but they still hadn't given up the a.s.sault. It was because I was around half health right now, and it would be some time before I could drink a potion again. This was their one and only shot left to kill me.

Dominating Soul glared at me and licked his lips before shouting, ”Don't stop, brothers! So what if he's Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand? A CGL Hall of Famer he may be, he is just as human as you and I! He's not an actual legend, and he'll still get hurt if he eats an Ice Dragon Howl to the face! And look, the sword he's wielding is most likely the number one weapon on the Weapon Ranking of the China server, the Purgatory Sword! If we kill him and loot the sword, we can sell it for at least 5 million or more! You could buy a villa with that kind of money! If you kill the legendary Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, you'll get all the women and gold you can possibly want in your life! This is the battle to fight if you wish to spread your name through the entire world!”

I was surprised. This guy sure knows how to uplift a man's spirit!

Swhoos.h.!.+

The corner of my lips turned up slightly as I stared at them. ”Come at me then, I dare you. The Purgatory Sword is yours to take if you opportunistic b.a.s.t.a.r.ds can kill me.”

”Attack!”

The last few warriors of the party activated Charge under Dominating Soul's command!

I checked my status and noted that I was currently sitting at 1875 HP. Dominating Soul could hit me for 1000 with his Ice Dragon Howl, and if the spell turned out to be a critical hit he could one-shot me. Worse, there were a couple of lousy archers peppering me with arrows from a distance. It was honestly almost too much even for me.

I glanced sideways and saw Xinran leaning against a bamboo tree with her mouth slightly agape. She was staring at the sky blankly, and her chest wound was still bleeding profusely.

s.h.i.+t, she was still feeling the effects of Archbishop Alvis's holy spell. There was no way she could help me when she looked like she was on the brink of death herself. I had no one but myself to rely on in this battle.

Besides that, I couldn't afford to be delayed here any longer. Dominating Soul must've sent my coordinates to Dominating Heaven Blade already, and this whole place would be swarmed by thousands of players in less than 10 minutes. It would be the end for me if that happened. I could afford to lose 10 levels, but not the Purgatory Sword, the Purgatory Legguards, or both. I would literally have suicidal thoughts if that happened!

I locked onto Dominating Soul and activated my own Charge!

Whoos.h.!.+

My figure rushed toward Dominating Soul like a shadow. However, he was already backing away even before I activated the skill, seemingly predicting that I would target him this time. The Charge missed completely as a result but I was so fast that I was able to get close to him for an instant. The moment my Charge reached the end, I immediately thrust the Purgatory Sword forward and activated Desperate Gambit!

MISS!

The Magic s.h.i.+eld absorbed all the damage at the cost of its existence. Dominating Soul wouldn't be able to summon another Magic s.h.i.+eld during the next few seconds!

I checked the skill list and got excited by what I saw! I raised the Purgatory Sword again, locked onto the escaping Dominating Soul and unleashed Thousand Mirage Slas.h.!.+

2437!

Dominating Soul let out a m.u.f.fled groan before collapsing to the ground. Unfortunately, he only dropped a floor of potions and nothing else. Considering how much damage he could do to me, there was a high likelihood that any equipment he dropped would be top-tier!

I spun around quickly and swung my weapon a couple more times, deleting the rest of the archers. Now, all that was left of the party was the warriors, and none of them could even pierce my armor. All they could do was stare at me with dumbfounded expressions as I used Tenacity of the Dead and an HP potion to heal myself almost to full health. After that, I gripped the Purgatory Sword and slowly walked toward them. In that moment, their fear was palpable, tingling my skin. There was simply no way for them to beat me right now.
