Chapter 43 - Insanity (2/2)

Ding!

'[Spirit Spear: Anger] has been upgraded to [Spirit Spear: Rage].'

Seeing that he was back to where he previously was, Aurus let out a small sigh as he waited for the next wave of enemies to come at him.

”Well that wave was incredibly fast,” Aurus couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Contrary to what Aurus sees, the speed of the fight was not actually that fast at all. The attack speed of the branches were reliant on their movement speed, which was sped up by 60 times in order to reduce the amount of time between fights. Nonetheless, the fights between branches and trees were still slow.

Even for Aurus who had a movement speed of 270 meters per hour, he would have slight difficulty in dodging attacks from branches and trees of the same grade as they almost had the same movement speed. Only when he activated his multiple buffs was he able to fight against S-grades.

Ding!

'Wave 3 has been cleared.'

'Experience +40'

'1 Genesis Point has been obtained.'

Checking his status screen while he still had the time, he noticed that he only need around 250 XP to fully max his current grade.

”Then again, I'll be staying in this form for a while to get better evolutions,” Aurus said to himself as he checked his status screen.

Not long after, the disembodied voice resounded throughout the hall, reminding Aurus about the next wave of enemies he would face.

”The fourth wave is starting.”

Whoosh!

In an instant, eight clones appeared in the center of the green jade hall. As Aurus was looking at the clones to see if the clones he would face this round had the same stats as the previous clones he fought against, only to see a clone that looked stronger than the clones he had faced before.

”Identify.”

Ding!

”Hm. The stat this time is closer to my current form. Even the appearance is somewhat close to what I currently look like,” Aurus couldn't help but say. The stronger clone glowed a faint green light as it exuded an aura that was slightly similar to Aurus' aura.

”As for the skills though, it's extremely lacking.” Aurus couldn't help but chuckle after seeing this. ”Nonetheless, you're still weak in front of me.”

”I won't fuck up this time.”

Manifesting a Spirit Spear using a floating Anima, he shot it towards the strong clone as he chanted, ”[Spirit Spear: Bargaining]!”

Whoosh!

The Spirit Spear rapidly darted towards the strong clone, only for it to incessantly multiply in number as it gradually got closer and closer to the strong clone.

And then...

Poof!

It disappeared.

”Eh?” Aurus was dumbfounded. Although he made sure to consecutively use the forms, the fact that his attack disappearing before it even the enemy was unheard of.

But then...

Weeenngggg...

Aurus instantly heard a buzzing sound come from the ceiling of the green jade hall and looked upwards, only to gasp in shock.

The Spirit Spear he shot was teleported to the ceiling of the hall, including the cloned Spirit Spears as they glowed a faint green before charging downwards towards the eight clones as if they were bombs dropped off from a bomber plane.

Ding!

'[Spirit Spear: Bargaining] has been used after [Spirit Spear: Anger], allowing the former's properties to be boosted.'

'[Spirit Spear: Bargaining] has been upgraded to [Spirit Spear: Insanity], turning into a skill that hits every enemy within a certain radius.'
