1599 No Backing Off, Confronting with Fury! (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
The power of the sword knocked Mo Fan flying. He tumbled back through the air.
The Dark Swordmaster's attacks were not that simple. It suddenly pointed its sword at Mo Fan. One of the sword shadows sprang at Mo Fan before he could regain his balance!
”This guy is really strong!” Mo Fan murmured.
He tried to figure out a way to dodge the attack of the shadow approaching when he noticed a silver Star Constellation forming behind him. It activated as soon as he fell onto it.
”Oh my!” Mo Fan reappeared three hundred meters away, facing the ground.
Mo Fan fell to the ground on his face. His nose was swollen for sure!
That being said, he would rather fall on his face than be hit by the sword shadows. He did not really have much defense to protect himself...
”Don't be so reckless, you still have us as your teammates!” Heidi called out.
The silver Star Constellation was obviously from her. She had lent Mo Fan a hand to dodge the Dark Swordmaster's attack!
Mo Fan rose to his feet and called back with a wry smile, ”I'm just taking the lead. Someone has to show some courage against a Ruler-level creature. If there's not someone like me who dares to initiate the fight first, the others would just stand there and wait for their deaths!”
Mo Fan's way of motivating the others was quite effective. Meos and Shreev had already Summoned their undead.
They both summoned an enormous Great Commander-level Mummy each. The two huge Mummies immediately engaged the Dark Swordmaster after Mo Fan was knocked into the air.
The Dark Swordmaster backed away slightly and pulled on the reins. The black horse neighed and lifted its front limbs!
”Vertical Slash!”
The Dark Swordmaster lifted its sword up high and waited until the horse was almost perpendicular to the ground. As the horse fell back to the ground, the Dark Swordmaster used the momentum to cut down with its sword!
A black wave struck the sturdy body of Meos' black Mummy like a curtain of water. To everyone's surprise, it instantly sliced the black Mummy in half, despite its sturdiness!
A single slash! The Dark Swordmaster had sliced Meos' Mummy in half with a single slash!
Even Meos was shocked. The black Mummy might only be a Commander-level creature, yet she had refined it with all kinds of resources. Its defense greatly surpassed that of an average Commander-level creature, but it was still sliced in half so easily!
Luckily, it was possible to Summon her undead again. Otherwise, this would be a painful loss to her!
Shreev's Mummy was the same kind. It was meant to be a tank he mainly used to defend himself and stop powerful demon creatures from advancing on him.
Meos and Shreev did not have just the one Mummy. They knew they had reached the final stage, so they decisively brought out everything they had, Summoning a bunch of undead.
These undead might not be as strong as the Mummies, but they had no trouble delaying the Dark Swordmaster. They just needed to buy Mo Fan some time, since he was the only person strong enough to inflict damage on the Dark Swordmaster!
”Fiery Dragon Roar!”
Mo Fan was engulfed in flames once again. He was like a burning train, heading straight at the Dark Swordmaster.
The Dark Swordmaster saw Mo Fan charging at it as soon as it killed off the undead. It quickly thrust its sword at the ground!
The huge sword struck the ground in front of the horse, and formed a black barrier encapsulating the Dark Swordmaster and its horse. Mo Fan slammed heavily into the barrier while screaming the cry of a fiery dragon!
The sword in the ground skidded back from the enormous impact. Both the Dark Swordmaster and its horse were knocked back by the collision!
Sparkles scattered across the place. The power of Mo Fan's charge lasted for a long time, and managed to leave some cracks on the barrier.
The barrier finally broke as the flaming charge was coming to an end. The remaining flames lunged at the Dark Swordmaster and its horse. Their armor reddened in the scorching heat!
The Dark Swordmaster took the initiative to back away. It did not pick up the sword still stuck in the ground. It rode its horse and escaped from the flames instead!
”It didn't really do much to it...” Meos stared at the Dark Swordmaster. She did not see any sign of its armor breaking.
