Chapter 278: The Horned Guys Misfortune (2/2)
Flash Draw!
Seeing my incoming figure suddenly vanish in a streak of blue and gold, the horned guy raised his greataxe to protect his body while a huge amount of Dark Energy covered himself like armor.
Clang!
With the sound of metal hitting metal rang out, my figure reappeared exactly in front of him. However, with the force of that Sword Skill, the horned guy was pushed back from the force, and the Dark Energy armor of his scattered to nothingness.
When he stabilized himself, he lifted his greataxe and threw it forward. It doesn't have the speed but the force from that throw was enough to disturb the space, creating a few cracks which also instantly mended.
As the spinning force of that throw reached my position. I already moved sideways to dodge, however, a part of my disguise was hit, revealing my true arm.
The horned guy saw that and promptly exclaimed.
”You're not a—”
However, he failed to finish that as Jayna's vines once again traversed the distance and constricted him. One of which went straight to his opened mouth silencing his next words.
”It's too late to notice it now, right?”
I smirked once more before delivering another attack. This time, I will be using that for the first time.
Halo Skill: Karmic Slash!
From the Willful Sword, a multicolored crescent slash was ejected as it slowly traveled the distance between me and the Dark World Transcendent.
With Jayna keeping him with her vines, even if he cut one, there's more vines waiting for him. And through those vines, Jayna started manipulating both her Spirit Ocean and the Elemental Energy she recently adapted to, grinding the horned guy in extreme pain.
As he continued writhing in pain, the Karmic Slash reached and touched him. At first, it didn't do anything to him. However, since the description said it has a delayed effect, it's to be expected.
A few seconds later, the unassuming multicolored Energy Slash started to change itself. As if it was sentient it went back and transformed into something. From a little crescent slash, it drew in more energy from the surroundings and changed into a multicolored raging bull with its sharp horns oddly protruded forward.
Looks like the 5% chance to realize what I wanted works, eh? Or he's just too unlucky?
Either way, the rainbow bull looked at the horned guy who was already panicking. It then snorted coldly as it started to charge towards him, its horns pointing at his body.
Stab!
A muffled scream of pain instantly rang out as the horns of the rainbow bull deeply penetrated his body. And with the force of its charge, the horned guy was even ejected from the vine constriction as his body was hurled down to the ground, his fate unknown.
There's no point waiting for him to use his most special attack nor his Transformation anymore. Killing someone efficiently like this is always better.
To make sure of it, I still went to the crater created from his fall. What lay there was the horned guy with a huge hole on his chest as his blood started to seep out of his mouth.
He's still alive. However, even if he kept trying to use his Dark Energy, the huge hole made by the rainbow bull wouldn't close.
”I apologize for your misfortune. Let me end your suffering, alright?”
After saying that, I stabbed the Willful Sword on his neck. And from there, the sentient sword started absorbing the Dark Energy he was exuding before it was dispersed.
I picked up his greataxe. Its properties instantly filled my head.
Like I thought, it will be a fitting weapon for Avelin. Too bad for him, he didn't manage to show me its full potential.
In any case, with the Transcendent dead, the revolting Noxians' morale was boosted as they all continued their frenzy. There's no point riling them up anymore. It's beyond the point of reconciling when there's already a heap of corpses piled on the ground.
”Let's go and destroy this place.”
I flew back to Jayna's side and picked her up. It's unnecessary. I know, I just wanted to do it.
”That skill is weird, Daisuke.”
She said as she started repairing the part of the disguise while we're flying towards our next destination.
I know. It's supposed to be a Sword Slash but it transformed into a rainbow bull…
”Don't mind the details. I also find it weird.”
With the riot ongoing, the area where the three devices were still guarded heavily, and with those traps in place, what we have to do is laid clearly.
Walk straight from the entrance of that area.
