413 Meeting Falken Again (1/2)
Magic power that was as filthy as s*it flooded out.
Vincent and Liz, who were close to him, both felt dizzy.
Actually, it was not an odor of magic power but a special skill that was similar to the dragon's might, which could mentally trouble inferior creatures.
Roland's teammates were only nauseated because they were strong, but if they were below Elite level, they would have peed their pants under this area deterrence skill. They would've cowered instinctively even though they were not scared.
Though Diablo was enfeebled, he was still a dominating creature in terms of level.
Because of the mental influence, Vincent cast spells much more slowly.
He was the weakest of the team to begin with, and the mental deterrence made him even weaker.
His Inferior Fireballs could barely tear off the scales on the monster's face.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Passing through all the Inferior Fireballs on the way, Diablo rushed to Andonara and slashed using both claws.
A traditional Hero, such as Kelter, would've blocked the attack with Hero's Shield.
But Andonara was no traditional Hero. She dodged Diablo's attack with a weird gait and turned to Diablo's left.
Diablo's body was too huge. He was fast only compared to Roland and the others whose level was lower than his, but in general, he did not have many advantages in dexterity because of his body size.
Andonara, on the other hand, had a smaller body size and was faster than the monster.
The blue flames that were attached to her looked like a gigantic flying bird.
Blinking to Diablo's back, Andonara stabbed her sword, and the fiery bird pecked too.
The sword was aimed at Diablo's back, and the bird's beak went to his neck.
Scorching fire and sharp auras were attached to the sword.
The pecking of the fiery bird, in the meantime, was both a magic attack and a physically penetrative one.
When the bird pecked, a strange rustling noise burst out, and even the air twisted.
Diablo had no time to dodge. Because of his enormous size, he couldn't have acted faster than Andonara, who was petite.
He only had the time to turn back before he was hit.
The moment Andonara hit Diablo, a black magic shield blocked her sword and the pecking of the blue fiery bird.
But the attack from a half-Legend was too powerful, not to mention that she had the Hero's sword.
Besides, Andonara had been exasperated and had used all her melee specializations.
How powerful was a fully-blown attack of a half-Legend?
Although Diablo had established a dark magic shield, it suffered an enormous explosion when Andonara hit the shield.
Time seemed to have paused. Then, with a deafening noise, Diablo, who was more than three meters tall, was blown back like a cannonball.
Vincent and Liz were flung away at the same time.
Rumbling noises echoed from far away as Diablo knocked the trees down.
But a pair of wings suddenly grew out from his back. He flapped his wings and stopped in midair.
But Andonara did not stop after the first strike. With coldness all over her face, she turned into a fiery bird and charged at Diablo in a stream of scorching air.
This time, the black magic shield couldn't block Andonara's attack anymore. The fiery bird broke the shield first. Then, a longsword pierced through Diablo and struck him toward the sky.
Blue magic energy ran amok inside Diablo's body.
In his agony, Diablo extended his claws and tried to grab Andonara.
But Andonara simply kicked between Diablo's legs with her knee.
After a crack, Diablo's eyes popped out.
Andonara seized the chance to chop off Diablo's head. His headless body fell from the sky.
The enormous body hit the ground, and blue flames burned all over it.
But he was still alive.
The head on the ground stared at Andonara delightedly, as if its plan had worked. ”Thank you, little girl, for sending me back to the Realm of Devils. Don't worry, I'll come back soon. I'll kill everybody in the Phoenix family. The death of your man is just the beginning.”
Thinking that Roland had already died, Diablo burst into laughter.
He remembered that his strike must've shattered half of Roland's internal organs.
No Mages who were not a Master could've survived such heavy wounds.
Andonara seemed even angrier, but she was not sad.
Diablo found it odd. His head was deformed by the fire, but he could still talk. ”You're not heartbroken?”
Andonara snorted but didn't say anything.
”So, you're as heartless as Phoenix. You're both willing to abandon the people who are most important to you without any hesitation,” Diablo said in a weird tone. ”Apples never fall far away from the tree, right?”
