1600 Father-level Protection: Hug of the Sacred Bear (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
The Dark Swordmaster was in a rush to set up its defense. It assumed Mo Fan was going to back away, so its ruthless sword shadows were aimed in the direction Mo Fan was supposed to escape to. Mo Fan's flame sword took it by complete surprise!
The Dark Swordmaster was forced to back away from Mo Fan's raging flames. Mo Fan made use of the chance to distance himself from the Dark Swordmaster.
The Dark Swordmaster quickly recovered. It was greatly ashamed by Mo Fan managing to land a hit on it. It held the sword in a different stance as both it and its horse turned around while they were skidding away!
”Moonback Slash!”
The Dark Swordmaster was a master of sword arts, and still managed to attack even when Mo Fan forced it to back away. A sharp flicker of light swept at Mo Fan. Luckily, Mo Fan did not impatiently follow up with another attack, mainly because he had fought a Dark Swordmaster before. It gave him more space to dodge the Moonblack Slash.
”Blink!”
A silver Star Constellation encapsulated Mo Fan before the slash arrived. He instantly moved two hundred meters away, escaping from the Moonback Slash's range.
”Phew...” Mo Fan let out a relieved sigh.
He had to be focused at all times while fighting the Dark Swordmaster. He had a feeling that he would die horribly if he lowered his guard even the slightest.
”Mo Fan, let us help you!” Mu Bai said.
”Damn it, how dare it ambush me? I swear I'm going to make it pay!” Zhao Manyan said.
Mu Bai and Zhao Manyan remained well back. They clearly knew that the rest of them would be killed instantly if the Dark Swordmaster attacked them with its full strength. They had no choice but to keep their distance from the Dark Swordmaster and let Mo Fan fight it head-on.
”Old Zhao, can you block its attacks?” Mo Fan glanced at Zhao Manyan.
Zhao Manyan's belly was still bleeding, and he still looked feeble. Mu Bai's treatment was obviously not as efficient as the Healing Magic. Zhao Manyan was forcing himself to lend Mo Fan a hand, as he knew Mo Fan was struggling in the fight.
Zhao Manyan had almost died just a moment ago, yet he was already forcing himself to lend Mo Fan a hand. He was a true brother, indeed!
”Don't forget that my Primary Element is actually the Light Element!” Zhao Manyan yelled back.
Light was strong against darkness. The Dark Swordmaster was obviously vulnerable to the Light Element, but Mo Fan did not have access to any Light Magic. Otherwise, the single-target Light Super Spell, the Demon Judgment Sword, would be enough to inflict serious damage on the Dark Swordmaster!
”Sure!” Mo Fan nodded.
”I'll get rid of its armor first!” Zhao Manyan's Channeling speed did not slow down much, despite his injuries.
The spell was only meant to buy some time. If the Dark Swordmaster kept attacking them, they would have no chance to Channel their spells!
The Brilliant Light was surprisingly effective, managing to confuse the Dark Swordmaster for a moment. When the Dark Swordmaster realized the spell was not really doing much to it, it began to prepare its next wave of attacks.
The Dark Swordmaster glanced at Mo Fan and the others, its eyes emitting an evil red glow. As it raised its huge sword into the air, a cloudy black wind wrapped around it like a python.
The presence of Dark Magic was stronger inside the Pyramid. As a Shadow Mage, Mo Fan could sense the dark substance flowing toward the Dark Swordmaster, as if it was being drawn into a vortex.
”Don't let it accumulate the dark energy!” Mo Fan shouted to the others when he realized the creature was trying to execute a terrifying sword art.
The others were uneasy too, and immediately unleashed their attacks. Heidi used her specialty, the Will Cannon. Mu Bai tossed his Ice Daggers at the Dark Swordmaster. Meos, Shreev, and Sayed used their other Elements, too. Even though their other Elements were not as impressive as their Undead Element, they still had some reliable spells up in their sleeves!
Magic of different Elements surged in the Dark Swordmaster's direction. To their surprise, the black tornado circling around the Dark Swordmaster turned out to be some kind of protection while it was busy accumulating its strength. The black tornado greatly weakened the spells aimed at it.
The leftovers of the Ice Dagger, Will Cannon, and lightning bolts barely left any scratches on the Dark Swordmaster's armor. As the vortex containing the dark energy gradually enlarged, the Dark Swordmaster began to resemble a terrifying volcano that was going to erupt at any second!
”We can't break through its defense. It feels like it's going to wipe us out with a single move!” Mu Bai shouted.
