volume 3 - Chapter c245 (1/2)
Brendel and The Vampire Girl
Before moving onwards, Brendel had a look at Andrea’s status, only to be surprised by how powerful she was. The vampire girl possessed two Elemental Powers. Besides the common Soul Element that all undead has, she also had another called the Sacrificial Element. The odds of meeting someone with two elements were astronomically low, there would not even be one even in ten thousand. And of course, there were no players having two Elemental Powers.
Most bloodsuckers used their bloodline abilities to fight, but Andrea was both a Wizard and a Warrior. An Array Caster and a Dual-Wielder at that! What kind of miracle is this? I have never even known of a vampire having a cla.s.s by themselves!
And written at the bottom of the card was Andrea’s skill: “Commands a troupe of dark creatures into the battlefield”.
The Pendulum Golem approached Brendel's location. But instead of doing anything personally, it commanded the Marionette Swordsmen to slowly surround Brendel, which Brendel found strange. He gestured to Andrea before Das.h.i.+ng away.
He instantly closed the distance between himself and his first target. His opponent could not manage to react before getting its sword knocked away. As Brendel did that, he formed a mirage that stepped forward behind the Marionette Swordman’s back to stab it at its nape.
It was like there were two Brendel’s that formed a pincer attack, instant killing the creature.
Even so, he was not someone who fought recklessly. He turned to hide behind another pillar. But the Golem seemed to have antic.i.p.ated that, slamming his staff onto the ground and roared as Brendel attacked the Marionette Swordsman, ”He's trying to run again! Number Seven, eight, Nine, advance ten steps! Number Three and Four, cross over Number One to seal the target’s path!
Brendel screamed inwards. When did Pendulum Golem’s have such a strong commanding ability? These creatures were the guards for the Towers of Babel, having high defense and attack. Moreover, they were immune to Elemental Spells, and could even manipulate time within the range of ten steps! I have lost count of how many Elementalist and close-combatants getting beaten up by this ma.s.sive robot… If anything, it had one flaw: It was slow.
Which made archers the best counter for it. But that did not seem to be the case in this situation.
While Brendel was facing the trouble, Andrea was hiding quietly behind a pillar and drawing four Magic Arrays on it. Just as Brendel killed the first opponent, she was done with her drawings. It was also the time the Pendulum Golem ordered his minions to change formations. That action led him to expose himself in the range of her attack.
But Andrea could not remember Brendel’s order to attack the big one, and hot his minions. She shot a look, and picked out Seventh to be her target.
A streak of black lightning shot out from the array at the Seventh. “Patt!” It hid on the skull of the Swordman, causing it to form a translucent barrier to protect itself. Even so, its head was knocked sideways by the force.
Golems had a high magic resistance, but Andrea did not care about that fact. After all, Array Spellcasters also had tremendous firepower. The first lightning was an imprint that locked onto the Swordman’s head. She kept her finger pointed at the Seventh Marionette Swordsman. Suddenly, the array emitted an eye-catching black light before shooting ten bolts of black lightning on the target.
The s.h.i.+eld glowed brightly, signs that it was being used to its full capacity. But finally, it gave out. Cracks appeared all over it and shattered in a wisp of smoke and dust.
Queen of Pain’s Nine Tail Whip. A Cla.s.sic Black Magic.
With the death of the Seventh, Brendel found the opening he needed. Yet before he even had the time to relief or be delighted, a metallic voice roared in the arena, “Death Sentinels!”
Behind the Golem, multiple doors of light appeared and humanoid soldiers walked out with their intimidating black-spiked helmets. They were dual wielders. Besides their shoulder plates, helmets and armored leggings, they exposed their copper-colored skin, toned and lean. Just at a sight, it was obvious that they were agility based warriors.
Ten Death Sentinels were initially summoned. But atop the bodies of the fallen Marionette Swordsmen and the Wight, a door appeared and from it waled out a Death Sentinel. Although Brendel did not recognize who this NPC was, he figured that the Card in the Golem’s hand is not a Creature type, but a spell capable of turning the fallen into one of its own. At that moment, Andrea had taken down another two enemies. It may seem to be beneficial, however, it brought adverse effects in that situation.
”See that? Planeswalkers have no need for swords and blades. You’re truly the shame of the Planeswalkers. It must be my duty to eliminate you, disgrace.” His tone void of emotion.
Planeswalker this... Planeswalker that… Are you really that powerful? You’re just using your levels to suppress me! Back when I was still level 130, don’t even mention a word, I will chop you up in a second!
With the mindset and dignity as a Warrior, Brendel would not dodge an attack that he knew he could not. The Marionette Swordsmen that surrounded him were early Gold-rankers that would be easy for him to take on with his current strength. However, the remaining thirty or so Gold-ranked creatures will prove to be troublesome.
