1301 Chaos Part 1 (1/2)

The levels of the pests were not too high and the lightning puppets were capable of taking care of them. Pests were practically immune to physical attacks, so the mages of Alchemy City had unleashed the angel of fear and pests to take on the Bug Angel Warriors.

Magic attacks from the Bug Angel Warriors were could weaken the pests, but the pests would simply be reduced to dust when physically attacked, which would roll on the ground for a bit before reconstituting.

Reconstituted pests were not any weaker in terms of combat capacity. All Bug Angel Warriors within the area controlled by the angel of fear were knocked out. Outside, the Bug Angel Warriors were having a hard time as well.

The pests were simply indestructible to the Bug Angel Warriors.

Saleen sighed. Alchemy City really does have a few tricks. If it had not been for the fact that his lightning puppets were capable of fighting the pests, all of the Bug Angel Warriors would have succumbed sooner or later, even without the angel of fear.

Such cases of professions restricting one another only happened to warriors at one extreme end of the spectrum. Conventional magic warriors were equipped with skills capable of taking pests.

That was not the case with the Bug Angel Warriors. All of their skills were meant to take on conventional living beings. They were able to do next to nothing.

Saleen's lightning puppets, on the other hand, while emanating appallingly weak electricity from their bodies, were quite effective against the pests, which almost had their souls exposed. The puppets only needed to cling to the pests with their twisty arms to capture them, rendering escape impossible.

The trapped pests were thrown to Saleen, who absorbed them into his War Drum of Fear.

Grand Duke Iron Blood looked at Saleen's drum. ”How much for this thing?”

”I'm not selling.”

”Why?”

”It's good for fighting wars. Furthermore, Imposa captured one himself. You could ask him to make one for you.”

The Grand Duke frowned. He did not need to ask Saleen if it was possible.

”It can be done. We'll just not go to the warehouse and I won't give him the Dissolution Scroll. Without the scroll, he'll only be able to reach the first floor of the warehouse. There is no way he is going to get into second floor.”

”It's not a good thing to drive a wedge between us, you know.” The Grand Duke looked displeased.

Saleen shrugged. ”You can't just let him have his way all the time. I'm the one who will craft the armor you need.”

The Grand Duke nodded slowly. Imposa was caught in a ditch and actually fighting the angel of fear up close and personal. His long tail whipped about while his six legs enabled him to zip about on the ground. The angel of fear was actually on guard against Imposa's tail.

Saleen knew the terrifying power of the tail. ”How about we go there and help him out?” Saleen suggested.

”Sure thing!” The Grand Duke had the same thought. With both of them getting there to help him, there was nothing Imposa would be able to do.

Saleen had experience facing off against angels of fear. He took out a magic staff and slowly moved forward, casting the skill stored within the staff: a Dark Blue Chant.

Control afforded by the water type skill was second only to the dark type Endless Night, but casting Endless Night would make Imposa misunderstand that Saleen was attacking him. Saleen had no control over that spell, but he had learned about Dark Blue Chant.

The Dark Blue Chant's aura sneaked around Imposa and shrouded the angel of fear. There was no way a level 11 skill would be able to kill the level 12 angel of fear, unless the angel of fear suffered grievous injuries and significant reduction in defense.

However, the angel of fear's movements slowed considerably. Saleen cast Thundering Shock as soon as he was done casting Dark Blue Chant.

Conventionally-speaking, it was impossible for low level professionals to intimidate high level ones, even more so in the case of angel of fear—a creature adept at soul attacks.

However, even though Saleen was not familiar with the rules of Thundering Sound skills, they possessed power of rules. The rules of Thundering Sound far exceeded the angel of fear's level. Regardless of how weak Saleen was in comparison, the intimidation skill would work.

The angel of fear was actually intimidated by a level 11 mage!

Imposa's mind was all blank when the Grand Duke charged from behind, his spear shining with golden glimmer. It was not sword aura, but Dragon Knight Flash—a skill unique to Dragon Knights.

The dragon spear stabbed into the mouth of that angel of fear's abdominal face, and not even the Grand Duke was able to believe how well it worked. The probing attack actually hit that high level being and severely injured it.

Imposa stung the angel of fear indifferently with his tail. That sting injected all of the elemental poisons stored inside the metal tail into the angel of fear's body, which almost petrified it.

The Grand Duke and Imposa attacked without giving a care. The skills seemed to be like instincts. Only the purple gold dragon seemed to be awake. It swiped its tail at its target. The protruding spikes tore at the angel of fear like a saw, bisecting it at the waist.

The angel if fear had no blood, but the dragon's attack landed a shocking blow to it. However, the angel of fear quickly grabbed the lower half of its body and reconnected it.

The dragon shot a stream of dragon's breath. The face of the angel of fear, whose body had just been reconnected, melted, revealing a dark crevice.

Saleen was dumbfounded. Where is the soul?
