Chapter 708: Heart Storm
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Even a wild valiant warrior like Sable was completely incapable of resisting Zi’s uppercut thrust. Silver rays incessantly swam around his body; like electric currents paralysing all his movements.
ZI’s phoenix eyes brimmed with dreadful icy austerity, as she finally separated her hands. Such frosty charm was unprecedented, and exuded an unreplaceable and inviolable prestige.
Her hands once again gripped twin silver rapiers that emitted a brilliance that threatened to cauterize one’s retina.
“Don’t, Zi!!!!” In this instance, Sable begged wildly.
“I was forced to! On account of the days I fought for you!”
Although Sable pleaded wretchedly, Zi’s countenance remained immeasurably detached. However, the swerving motion of her twin silver rapiers trembled a little and became slightly slower.
Out of nowhere, a gigantuous dragon head phantom appeared behind Zi. She pointed her left rapier upwards, which formed into the upper jaw of the gigantuous dragon phantom. On the other hand, her right rapier pointed downwards and formed the lower jaw of the dragon phantom!
Following that, a turbulent surge of silver dragon’s breath rushed out from the depths of the gigantuous dragon phantom mouth!
Dragonforce Breath!
Nevertheless, Sable was still a veteran of a hundred battles. After seizing the opportunity of Zi’s slight hesitation, he had forcibly positioned his vertebra long saber to block his front.
The surge of turbulent silver dragon breath blasted against the vertebra long saber. Instantly, the saber shaft heated fierily causing his skin to emit sizzling burns. Still, Sable refused to let go, as he was pressured down for 7-8 metres by the immense force until he smashed into the ground!
As the silver dragon breath blended with blood, an incomparably violent explosion erupted!
A massive muddy lotus bloomed instantaneously, as rocks and debris sprinkled down everywhere; causing a cluttered clamour of rustling sounds!
After a long while, Sable’s figure finally reemerged from the mess.
His body was currently engulfed in thick black aura which stemmed from his black vertebra long saber. However, the price he paid was causing his malevolent and strange vertebra long saber to shrink by a third!
Originally, this saber was lofty and aloof, seemingly capable of sweeping through the heavens. Yet after shrinking, it appeared totally incongruous; seemingly just a work of art.
Evidently, Zi also expended much energy in unleashing that one blow.
Her long hair drifted with the wind. Her cheeks flushed with an abnormal red while her eyes flickered with merciless rancor.
As he twin silver rapiers interweaved, splashes of brilliant rays pulsated throughout the surrounding space.
Then, those rays formed into a ferocious dragon claw as it cleaved down upon Sable with matchless velocity!
Dragonforce Grip!
Presently, one could tell that after Zi had awakened the ‘Dragonforce Bloodline’, her close combat prowess had skyrocketed. Nevertheless, her true killing potential was still inclined mainly towards long range magic.
When that dragonforce claw materialized, Sable immediately felt a tremendous threat. He immediately howled out frantically.
“Yuan Zhan! Help me! If I die, you won’t be better off!”
At present, Yuan Zhan had occupied an overwhelming superiority. Throughout this period, Aldaris had managed to release four bursts of ‘Spirit Lightning’.
Even so, only two bursts had succeeded in striking Yuan Zhan, while the remaining two heavily wounded two of the summoned beasts.
Eventually, that same crocodile like summoned beast too a huge crunch on Aldaris with its magnificent set of sharp teeth. Piank! Aldaris’s high level ‘MP-Guard’ was finally shattered, as sapphire like shards drifted into the air and vanished.
Aldaris braced his arm forward and bluntly endured the beast crocodile’s munch. Though its munch carried unrivalled monstrous strength, the shattered ‘MP-Guard’ had already absorbed most of its force. Though that was so, it managed to tear out a mutilated mess through Aldaris’s arm, as fresh blood gushed out; painting a lamentable ghastliness.
Yuan Zhan’s eyes flickered with venomous intent. By now, the massive flock of blood sucking bats had encompassed almost every inch of Aldaris’s line of sight, completely preventing him from escaping.
Yuan Zhan’s initial scholarly demeanor had utterly disappeared. He clutched a charred wound that was burnt through his chest, and gritted his teeth while exclaiming.
“Go and die!”
It seemed as though he suffered tremendous difficulty to squeeze out those words from the gaps between his teeth! It was brimming with malicious intent!
However, in this very instant, Aldaris lifted his head up slightly and glanced at Yuan Zhan. His sweeping glance was as though a biting cold wind had breezed through, and carried a trace of mockery.
Yuan Zhan wasn’t aware….but unbeknownst when, those tiny electric serpents on the ground had long vanished….
“Spirit Lightning directly attacks the weakest, the most bitter and sensitive aspect of a human…..”
“Yet none is aware, the main ability of spirit lightning doesn’t reside in damage but absorption! With every hit, it completely absorbs the pain my enemies suffer and feedbacks them to me, where I accumulate such anguish and pain that originates from the soul; storing them, conditioning them and condensing them!”
“Finally, unleashing a terrifying heart storm that sweeps through all!!!”
Within a single breath, Yuan Zhan’s cloak fluttered up. In the empty space before him, a faint blue speckle appeared abruptly.
The speckle slowly expanded and intensified in brightness, and finally with a sonorous bang, it exploded into an electric blue network that covered the sky; encompassing over an entire square area of nearly hundred metres!
The electrical network that held life and death, sieved down over the whole area. Yet strangely, it didn’t damage a single spot of the environment. Instead, whenever it touches a lifeform, vapor would steam up in excessive amounts and linger around the peripheries of all lifeforms, before erupting into streaks of unfathomable electric arcs!
Heart Storm!
This was Aldaris’s genuine killer move – ‘Heart Storm’ !! An attack that ravages the heart of the enemy’s spirit, one that negates all defenses! It was quite analogous to Sheyan’s virus abilities, in terms of requiring special resistance capabilities to offset the damage or effect. Of course, its precedence level wasn’t comparable to Sheyan’s virus abilities.
As the blinding vast storm network descended, Yuan Zhan became momentarily lifeless. A searing pain mixed with terrorizing palpitation circulated through his entire body in an instance!!!!
Yuan Zhan’s ‘Bioforce Aid’ ability hadn’t attained a high level. Hence, his vitality was similarly shared with his summoned beast! This indicated whenever he activated the ability link, some of the damage dealt concurrently to the summoned beast would also reflect back to himself!
Of course, a chain repeated damage state wouldn’t happen. For example, if Yuan Zhan got struck by a spirit lightning, which damage was reflected to the summoned beast, that reflected damage wouldn’t reflect again to injure Yuan Zhan.
“Shit….”
Yuan Zhan strived to leave the boundary of this ‘Heart Storm’. Yet though his mind commanded, his body couldn’t listen and only submitted helplessly to the searing pain!!
As for Yuan Zhan’s summoned beasts, they were similarly lifeforms caught up in this horrific ‘Heart Storm’. They trembled and…..within mere 2-3 seconds, several beasts were completely paralysed. Then, their bodies started disintegrating with numerous cracks like china porcelain.
Crash! Crash! Some exploded into innumerable fragments!
Yuan Zhan was miserably electrocuted into near-death state. Naturally, the summoned beasts sustained by his MP, also quickly vanished into thin air.
Only at that moment, did Aldaris clenched his right hand and terminated the raging ‘Heart Storm’. Then, he stood up and sauntered towards Yuan Zhan! Aldaris’s ‘Mage-Nemesis’ dagger flew back into his hand as the enemy was already plunged into near-death state.
“Traitorous scum, meet your demise.” In a flash, Aldaris arrived before Yuan Zhan and straightforwardly placed his ‘Mage-Nemesis’ dagger across the lifeless Yuan Zhan’s throat. With a gentle swipe, a spurt of red blood splattered out from Yuan Zhan’s throat, before his head was decapitated from his body.
Blood spurted up like a fountain from a headless corpse, coupled with pulps of maroonish innards, as they bathed every corner of this building!
Yet soon after, Aldaris discovered that something was amiss. The headless corpse of Yuan Zhan remained unceasingly spurting out blood! The blood was continuously puddling up on the ground, even rising up above the back of his sole. In spite of that, Aldaris failed to receive a single notification of slaying from his nightmare imprint.
All of a sudden, the headless corpse of Yuan Zhan began twitched, and like a zombie, it proceeded to clutch its own neck.
Aldaris took in a deep breath and shut his eyes. Blood continued trickling, bit by bit, from his hand, following the outline of ‘Mage-Nemesis’ before dripping to the ground. The blood permeated into the ground and dissipated unknowingly.
“OLD FAT, is it you? Only you can put up such illusions that can deceive my visuals, thereby successfully rescuing the dying Yuan Zhan. Still, trying to obstruct me with just you?
A wall nearby Aldaris suddenly rippled. Unexpectedly, the red bricks of the wall started strangely shifting and arranging itself, before metamorphosing into an incredibly queer brickman. This brickman exhibited a mystifying clown like chuckle, before speaking callously with a hoarse voice.
“Psychological tactics won’t work on me. Aldaris, you’ve truly hidden such magnificent prowess well. Alas, even a fool like Yuan Zhan can force out your most vital flaw! Your powerful abilities, perhaps 30% of them are executable only with the ‘Mage-Nemesis’. You rely on the ‘Mage-Nemesis’ to provide you an endless supply of MP. But more crucially, your weapon acts as a focal point as well eh? Only by stabbing your foe with the ‘Mage-Nemesis’ can your electric charges swiftly locate their target!”
