Chapter 1277 - Book of Death (2) (1/2)
Shira!
Canary rejoiced at the sight of Shira. However, she wasn’t joyous that Shira was here in time, but was glad that Rhode had finally arrived! Canary retreated immediately, knowing that this summoned spirit of Rhode was somewhat erratic and would hit anyone whenever she was in a frenzy. Canary wasn’t willing to be her punching bag, so the moment she saw Shira, she got away and dodged. And almost at the same time, the black torrent that was supposed to slam onto Canary wrapped around Shira from head to toe instead!
If it were someone else, perhaps one would be dead instantly. But for Shira… Death was her best friend.
Boom!
The instant that black torrent engulfed her, the scarlet longsword in Shira’s hands split it apart like Moses parting the sea, slicing through the darkness of death. Shortly after, she brought along her usual, characteristic laughter and brandished her sword at the Chaos Lord!
Whoosh———!
A scarlet brilliance flashed by and her longsword cleanly slammed onto the Chaos Lord. Perhaps the Chaos Lord was also a little unfortunate as the moment Shira flourished her blade, it was in the state of immunity against spiritual spells and magical spells, causing it to be unable to be immune against physical attacks. That was how Shira pierced her sword into the Chaos Lord’s body mercilessly. The scarlet longsword was like a knife slicing through butter, ripping apart the robe that wrapped around the Chaos Lord in a deafening sound and leaving behind a ghastly wound. The Chaos Lord let out a shriek instantly, before warping and appearing on the other side. However, Shira was completely unfazed. On the contrary, she let out a chuckle and struck ahead with her sword, aiming straight at its body again.
“Be careful!”
Looking at this scene, Canary couldn’t help but feel anxious. They had witnessed the strangeness of this Chaos Lord, but Shira wasn’t aware of it yet. It would be trouble if the Chaos Lord were to reflect her attack!
But before Canary’s words sounded, her bad feeling came true before her very eyes.
The moment Shira’s longsword punctured the Chaos Lord, a bizarre situation happened. Even though the scarlet longsword penetrated the Chaos Lord’s body ruthlessly, the blade didn’t pass through the body from the other side. On the contrary, the Chaos Lord’s body was like a dark hole that absorbed half of the blade. Looking at this scene, Canary was taken aback. Almost at the same time, along with a mysterious flash, the scarlet longsword stuck out from Shira’s slender and petite body instead!
“No!”
Canary was dumbfounded. She knew this Chaos Lord possessed some uncommon tricks, where not only could it reflect attacks, but it could also magnify the damage. Well-equipped players on Canary’s side couldn’t resist the attacks, so how would Shira be able to?
What should I do now? Heal Shira? But Shira is an undead creature. If we were to heal her, wouldn’t we be doing the Chaos Lord a favor instead? But I don’t have any mages who are capable of casting undead spells…
At this thought, Canary discovered that she didn’t need to consider these questions at all. Because Shira burst out laughing again.
“Hahaha, it’s so painful! So painful!”
The petite young lady shivered as she pulled out the longsword in her body. At that moment, deep, red blood gushed out of her terrifying wound and splashed onto the ground. Not only that, but blood also trickled down from the corner of her mouth. But what terrified one was that the eyes of this gravely-injured and pale young lady were glinting in joy as though she were a child who received an interesting toy.
“More pain, give me more pain! Hahaha, yes, this is it. This is what I want!!!”
Along with a scream that was almost to the point of insanity, Shira raised and brandished the longsword at the Chaos Lord again, without any hesitation!
“All clerics and mages, go all-out in your attacks!”
Canary seemed to recall something and ordered right away. Shortly after, along with her command, spiritual and magical spells rushed skyward, aiming straight at the Chaos Lord.
This time, the Chaos Lord appeared to be in a worse mess than before. Under Shira’s attack, it lost almost all of its deterrence. Canary and the others were afraid of its reflection skill before, but Shira didn’t care at all. Not only was she not afraid, but she also welcomed the reflected attacks with open arms. Her frantic slashes at the Chaos Lord grew more menacing and powerful. Despite that, most of her attacks were taken in and reflected back by the Chaos Lord, striking her body and inflicting considerable damage. At that moment, the petite young lady’s body had almost no place left intact. The tattered gothic dress was now riddled with more holes. Moreover, the young lady was also in a bloody, shredded mess right now. But even so, she had no intention of abating her attacks of fury.
And now the Chaos Lord was finally starting to panic. Faced with the deadly and reckless attacks from Shira, none of its skills were useful. Just as Canary guessed, this Chaos Lord wasn’t completely immune to all types of attacks. And now, due to Shira’s constant aggression, the Chaos Lord had to focus most of its attention on this Undead Puppet. And this way, in order to avoid taking too much damage, the Chaos Lord had to choose to be immune to the physical aspect of the attack. Meanwhile, in the face of spiritual and magical attacks, the Chaos Lords could only be able to choose to be immune to one of them. But this way, it would inevitably take damage from another type of attack!
This time, Canary and the rest learned the hard way that mages could only release elemental spells to create elemental creatures. So that if they were reflected back, they could be able to negate them with ‘Elemental Return’. Clerics had even less to fear, as they were immune to their own attributes. That was why they were more unbridled in releasing their spiritual spells than other spell casters, since they were immune to spiritual spells even if they were reflected back!
To put it simply, there was a lot of danger in this too, especially for spell casters. Due to the flashing spells that enveloped the battlefield, it made it impossible for them to see whether their spells were being reflected back. And if the spells were reflected back, and their ‘Elemental Return’ wasn’t cast in time, they would most certainly perish with that low level of defense. But fortunately, these people led by Canary were the best of the best. If they weren’t capable of realizing dangers, how could they go on dangerous adventures with Rhode and accomplish this ‘backstabbing’ strategy?
Flashes of magical brilliance scattered everywhere and limited the attack of the Chaos Lord. It was clear to everyone that since Rhode’s summoned spirits were here, he wasn’t far away either! At that moment, the attacks grew more reckless, where spiritual and magical spells filled the sky and enfolded Shira and the Chaos Lord. Although this world wasn’t a game and there was no setting for immunity to damage after teaming up, everyone wasn’t worried about that. Because to Shira, the more ferocious the attack, the better it was!
At the same time, Rhode finally arrived.
“Canary, how’s the situation?”
Rhode asked, gazing at the ‘bombarded’ hall and Chaos Lord. Fortunately, he had someone like Icy Snow with him. As a matter of fact, when Canary started the battle against this Chaos Lord, he made Icy Snow observe the fight using her space senses. For that reason, under Canary’s hard work, Rhode had a pretty good idea of the BOSS’s traits. He had to admit that such a spontaneous BOSS was the most hated by players.
