Chapter 79: The Unreasonable Monster
No one expected that among A-rank adventurers, the Fighter would fall so quickly, not even forcing the opponent to act!
Seeing this, Extreme Fox had no choice but to put down Rox, and rush in.
Her bloodline ability countered the Purple Mage quite well, making it easy to deal with Rox, but the Sword Demon made her feel a sense of crisis.
“No wonder Sword Demon is so bold, aiming for two treasures at once—he surely has some skill.”
“But I’m not as easy to deal with as that useless adventurer!”
Heras smiled nonchalantly, swaying her hips, the slit in her long skirt revealing a glimpse of her snow-white skin.
But more captivating than her enticing complexion was the crackling long whip of lightning slicing through the air!
Extreme Fox, with the bloodline of Purple Lightning Extreme Fox, could control thunder and lightning, and her preferred long whip was a weapon that could condense lightning, lined with steel blades.
Dragon scales might withstand steel blades, but they weren’t immune to lightning, so Roy had to dodge quickly, avoiding the incoming lightning.
In the chaos, countless hapless corpses and skeletons were severed by the lightning.
Extreme Fox grinned even wider at this sight.
The duel among extraordinary beings heavily depended on compatibility.
Because no matter how strong an extraordinary being is, they’re not all-powerful; each has strengths and weaknesses.
For example, she wasn’t very good at dealing with types like the Fighter, who could overpower foes with brute force, while the Fighter struggled against types like Ghost Hand Rox, who could ignore physical defenses.
The Sword Demon seemed skilled with the sword and had terrifying defensive capabilities, clearly a melee specialist!
As long as she could maintain her distance, preventing him from getting close, she could eventually wear him down!
In fact, Roy also found the opponent much trickier than the Fighter, not his usual type to handle.
But that didn’t mean he couldn’t deal with him.
“Got him!”
The long whip surged like a frenzied beast, finally wrapping around the blade of Roy’s sword.
Extreme Fox’s eyes turned cold.
“Don’t worry, I’ll try not to turn you into crisps!”
Though she said that, Extreme Fox suddenly gathered all her strength and sent a dazzling stream of lightning flowing toward him.
In mid-air, a deafening thunderclap echoed as the terrifying lightning transformed into a ferocious fox, baring its fangs and pouncing eagerly at Roy.
There was no doubt that even with dragon scales for protection, he would be scorched inside out by this high-voltage current.
But what Roy had was never just the dragon scales.
In an instant, instead of dropping his sword, he fiercely grasped Extreme Fox’s long whip.
Blood Qi Convergence!
Crimson blood energy swirled like a fierce wind, surging upwards to collide violently with the lightning fox above, almost effortlessly breaking through it and striking directly at its master.
“?!”
Extreme Fox didn’t even have time to react before being hit head-on by the scarlet magical storm, sending her flying, her clothes shredded by the shockwave.
The injured beauty lay on the ground, dazed, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.
Struggling to get up, she tried to fight again, only to realize she had nothing left to cover herself, so she squatted down, glaring fiercely at the swordsman in the distance.
“Bastard, what did you do?!”
Roy casually tossed aside the long whip, adhering to the principle of ‘what you shouldn’t see, don’t look at it,’ completely ignoring her.
In truth, he was surprised himself.
If he had used long-range attacks, the Iron Blood’s Blood Qi Convergence wouldn’t have been able to compete with elemental attacks.
The premise was that it was a regular Iron Blood.
Since obtaining the bloodstone and taking Janthea’s magic potion, Roy was practically half a member of the Blood Clan.
You see, the blood of the Blood Clan itself contained a wealth of extraordinary power.
So, when calculated, Iron Blood Convergence could also be considered a half-magical attack.
Only its intensity exceeded even Roy’s expectations, delivering a powerful blow to the opponent.
Of course, Extreme Fox was indignant, seemingly willing to continue fighting, but before she could find some clothes, a wave of shambling corpses pounced on her, presenting no threat.
Next up was just the Purple Mage, Ghost Hand Rox.
But just then, the light suddenly dimmed.
The illumination vanished entirely, enveloping everyone in darkness more absolute than night, as if a pitch-black veil fell from the heavens.
Both the cultists led by Ivan and the bidders at the auction fell into chaos at that moment.
On the stage, Rox couldn’t help but sneer, “Sword Demon, I really have to thank you for taking care of those two troublesome fellows.”
“With this, I only need to deal with you!”
Veil of Shadows, this magic came from Rox’s contract with ghostly beings, capable of snuffing out light sources for a limited time.
But Rox himself could use the ghostly beings’ sense of presence to locate enemies.
The only weakness of this move lay in its short duration, and using it a second time would alert the opponent.
But it was perfect for an initial ambush.
No matter how strong your defenses are or what magical items you have, if you can’t see, aren’t you just a target?!
Rox unleashed his full power, and in mid-air, twelve ghostly hands emerged, attacking Roy from all directions with no escape!
Magical winds surged, faintly echoing the wails of spirits, sending chills down one’s spine!
However, Roy kept his gaze fixed on those ghosts and suddenly drew his sword.
In the darkness, flames erupted, and the blade shimmered.
A circular strike, enveloped in dragon’s fire, with stunning precision, severed all the ghostly hands rushing at him!
The lights flickered several times before finally bringing back illumination.
Amidst the curses, no one understood what had just happened.
The mage’s tricks were really dirty; if it weren’t for the night vision granted by Sleepless, Roy would’ve actually fallen victim to a sneak attack, mentally scolding himself while vigilantly watching the actions of the Purple Mage and taking careful steps forward.
Yet Rox remained rooted in place, sweat pouring down his forehead.
What the heck?
What kind of monster was this guy?!
He withstood the full force of the Fighter, dealt a magical blow to Extreme Fox, and didn’t even seem affected by the darkness, taking out his ambush in one swift motion?!
This was completely against all logic concerning extraordinary beings!
At this moment, Roy was like a demon from the abyss in Rox’s eyes.
Seeing Roy stepping onto the stage, getting closer and closer, Rox was utterly panicked, retreating helplessly, falling to the ground, his previously narrowed eyes now wide open, bloodshot.
“Don’t, don’t come near! Do you know who I am? I’m backed by the Purple Mage Sect! If you dare kill me, the sect will make you pay—”
No, come on, dude, are you serious? I never said I wanted to kill you. Under the dark mist, Roy couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
