Chapter 296: Nine Great Sovereigns (2/2)
However, Wind Fury let out a sinister laugh and gripped the shaft of the spear with his gauntlet. Then, he moved closer, grabbed the loli and swung his sword at her! He wasn’t a general of Hell for nothing!
Swhoosh!
The Arctic Storm hit only an afterimage, however. Somehow, Xinran had reappeared behind Wind Fury, grabbed the blade of spear and pulled it through the general’s chest just like the time she fought Cardilla! Not only that, the entire spear was covered in tiny wind blades, and they cut a literal bowl-sized hole in his chest! It was an amazing amount of damage!
”Heh, Wind Singer!”
Wind Fury abruptly spun around and swung his sword downward in War Crush. At the same time, he shouted, ”Wind Shackle!”
Swhoosh!
A magical rune suddenly appeared beneath Xinran’s feet. It turned into many arm-sized wind dragons that wrapped around her!
”Oh?”
Xinran couldn’t help but laugh. ”You’re trying to beat me with wind, Wind Fury?”
Xinran stretched her body, puffed up her awesome chest and disintegrated the power holding her down completely. Then, bloody eyes brimming with pride at her own strength, she raised her left hand and summoned the exact same type of power!
”Wind Dragon Break!”
The powerful attack turned Wind Fury’s right arm into bits. I felt a ripple in my heart as the sword clattered on the ground. Hell yeah! I wonder if it is a Divine-grade weapon!
”Now is the time!”
Xinran shouted at me as killing intent burned deep within her eyes. Wind Fury’s HP had dropped to the red, and his right arm had been crushed by Xinran. There was no better time to kill him than now!
I rushed forward and swung the Purgatory Sword at his neck! Pardon + Desperate Gambit!
MISS!
9043!
Not dead yet? One more basic attack!
4084!
Wind Fury’s Defense had been shredded so much that two hits were all it took to remove the last chunk of his HP!
”Aaahh…”
Wind Fury screamed as he slowly collapsed to his knees. Eyes overflowing with hatred and reluctance, he shouted, ”Wind Singer, you will answer for your sins and be punished! Lord Lin Na and Lady Sophie will avenge me! Watch as the vengeful flames of hell turn every corner of this continent into dust, Xinran!”
Xinran replied calmly, ”Rest in peace. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.”
……
Xinran’s parting words to Wind Fury turned out to be true because the hell general—even his sword, the Arctic Storm—literally turned into dust right after she said that. It pained me deeply to see such a powerful weapon scattering into nothing, but at least the boss dropped some loot!
I rushed forward and grabbed everything. There were too many players around here, and I wasn’t going to risk an assassin stealing them. That would be a real tragedy.
……
At the same time, a melodious ring resounded throughout Floating Ice City—no, wait, the entire China server!
Ding~!
