Vivian Goes Berserk!
Soren kept an eye on Vivian's condition while fighting.
Although he knew Vivian was likely stronger than him, he couldn't shake his unease and his attention kept drifting to the young girl. Initially, her fighting style made Soren frown, as she seemed to simply unleash a barrage of Spell, overwhelming her enemies with her powerful spellcasting abilities and Spell strength. However, her fighting style later shifted; after using ' Cloudkill,' her combat skills began to show promise.
Soren assumed the little girl had quickly mastered combat skills, but little did he know that control of her body had shifted several times in that short period of time.
For a certain unruly little rascal, Spell is simply a matter of 'biu~biu~biu'.
The battle continues.
With a slight impact, a massive Dragon-headed Warship appeared near the Ghost Ship. Many much stronger, Half-breed Lizardfolk emerged and engaged the Undrowned Undead Speaker of the Dead. Among them were also some strangely-looking Lizardfolk priests who rapidly chanted bizarre Abyssal before raising their hands to unleash a burst of Spell Aura.
"Turn Undead!"
This is a basic ability of a priest, and any Deity will bestow this ability upon a priest.
The effects of Turn Undead vary depending on the user's strength. It may kill the Undead directly, Stun Undead, or cause them significant damage. The Undrowned are special Wraith types, and since the opposing priest's class level was insufficient, they only inflicted minor damage, although some weaker Wraith were still killed and dispelled. Turn Undead can be used consecutively, Soren naturally wouldn't give the priest another chance to use it, immediately activating his own ability.
"Greater Invisibility!"
--"Change Shape Slayer!"
Soren's figure gradually disappeared. Then, in an instant, he reappeared behind an enemy, his Scimitar piercing the heart of the hybrid Lizardfolk. The enemy was clearly experienced in combat, and actually began to tighten their formation to protect the Spellcaster. They gathered within a certain range, preventing Soren from getting closer. Among them seemed to be hybrid creatures of Merrow Corsair descent, and Soren's high-speed movement could even be vaguely seen. However, even so, it did not stop Soren from approaching.
--"Rage and Charm!"
A strange light flashed in Soren's eyes. The Legendary Cloak, ' The Mohe's Sorrow, ' was used for the first time in battle. A Half-breed Warrior before him was clearly confused for a moment, then swung his sword backhand at the priest who was rapidly casting a spell. This strike not only interrupted the priest's Spell but also severed half of his hand. Controlled by the Charm Spell Control, the Half-breed Warrior attacked wildly, injuring many of his nearby companions. Chaos immediately erupted in the surrounding area.
--"Hide from Gaze!"
--"Shadow Shift!"
Soren was quite wary of Spellcaster. His figure vanished from his spot and reappeared from the twisted shadows, instantly killing the near-third-tier priest with a single strike. The enemy, unable to see his location, was misled by Greater Invisibility. Therefore, unless it was an area-of-effect Spell, it was difficult to target Soren's trail.
A series of cold lights flashed!
The Half-breed Warrior, enraged by the ' Rage and Charm ' spell and Frenzied Attack feats, and Soren effortlessly dispatched seven or eight enemies. At this moment, the Half-breed Warrior under the Charm Spell was also seriously injured, and Soren decapitated him with a single slash. It was at this instant that the King of the Swamp appeared. Although Soren had never seen it before, he recognized it at first glance.
--"Finger of Death!"
Even faster than Soren was Vivian; the young girl raised her hand and unleashed a dark red beam of light.
The King of the Swamp was hit squarely in the face, but he only swayed slightly before nonchalantly patting his chest and letting out an angry roar!
Soren shook his head inwardly. Vivian's combat experience was still quite limited. Against Legendary Warrior like these, their Saving Throw resistance was terrifyingly high. Without absolute Spell power suppression, lethal Spell had little effect on them. Sure enough, the King of the Swamp didn't seem to care much. It had extremely high innate Spell Resistance, plus the bonus from desecration after its Demon fall, making it difficult for any lethal Spell to work on it.
"Profane Aura!"
"Blasphemy!"
A Evil energy field spread out, King of the Swamp grinned, uttering a blasphemous utterance. This language seemed to possess a special magic, causing Soren to pause in surprise upon hearing it, a look of bewilderment appearing in his eyes, while a large amount of data suddenly appeared:
"Affected by Profane Aura!..."
"The target is an Evil Hit Points who has performed Profane Ritual. Within the area of effect of Profane Aura, all your Saving Throw Resistance are reduced by 2 points!..."
"Influenced by Blasphemy!..."
"Forced Willpower Check Triggered!... Willpower Check Passed!... You Successfully Resisted the Stun State!..."
Even though he quickly regained his senses, Soren was still half a second too slow.
At this moment, the King of the Swamp swung his massive anchor and smashed it down. Soren didn't even have a chance to Dodge; he could only grit his teeth and raise his twin swords to block the attack.
Bang!
Soren's figure was sent flying backward.
Even though he had become Slayer and gained the blessing of Draconic Might, his strength had reached an astonishing 25 points, he was still sent flying by the King of the Swamp. Soren's figure crashed through the wooden fence, and he spat out a mouthful of blood when he landed, before leaping up violently.
Rumble!
The enormous anchor was flung out by the King of the Swamp. It turned out that there was a chain Constrict around its body, but it wasn't very noticeable because of its huge size.
"We really can't fight Giant Kind- on!"
Soren gritted his teeth, swallowed the blood, and landed on the mast. Then, he transformed into a blur and charged down. The King of the Swamp swung his chains, retrieved the anchor, and roared as he slammed down. Soren's figure twisted strangely in mid-air, his toes somehow managing to touch Sauron's arm first, before he leaped into the air a second time. The opponent's size was simply too great; the Giant's form granted Sauron considerable strength, but it also made him somewhat sluggish.
Pfft!
A spurt of blood flew out.
Soren's twin blades slashed across the King of the Swamp's neck, but it felt as if he were cutting into incredibly tough Dragon Hide; not a single strike could even penetrate the opponent's muscle layer.
"Elder brother!"
Vivian's shrill voice rang out. After seeing Soren injured and coughing up blood, her pupils immediately turned red. Then, a pair of small Demon wings appeared on her back, and a tattoo appeared on her cheek. She suddenly opened her mouth and let out an extremely sharp howl. All the creatures nearby that were affected by this howl bled from their eyes, ears, noses and mouths, and many enemies even died on the spot.
A terrifying sonic boom swept through!
Vivian suddenly pointed behind Soren, and saw a strange black shadow appear behind Soren, then Backstab.
"Maze!"
A strange spatial fluctuation appeared.
The shadowy figure that suddenly appeared behind Soren didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was swallowed up by the distorted space and sent to a Maze in another dimension.
--"Teleport Blink!"
"Time Stop!"
Everything within a thirty-meter radius of Vivian was frozen in time, including Soren beside her and the King of the Swamp before her. A bloodshot glint appeared in the little girl's eyes, her expression one of extreme rage. She roared in a shrill childish voice, "Bastard!... How dare you hurt my brother!... I'll kill you, you monster!..."
The little girl's expression was extremely angry, as if she were about to go berserk, and her delicate eyebrows looked like they were about to turn into "upside-down eyebrows".
Vivian raised the Destruction Demon Sword, which was as tall as herself, and slashed it directly at the King of the Swamp. As if she still wasn't satisfied, the little girl slashed seven or eight times in a row before stopping, slightly out of breath. She was small in stature and young in age, and her strength was not great at all. Being able to slash so many times was a burst of energy. After she finished, she felt a little exhausted.
Time Restored!
Soren seemed to sense that something had just happened, but just as he was about to look for another opportunity to attack the King of the Swamp's vitals, he unexpectedly found Vivian standing in front of the King of the Swamp!
"Oh no! She's in danger!..."
Soren barely thought about it; he rushed over instinctively, grabbed Vivian's small body, and then kicked off the ground, retreating rapidly.
Rumble!
A dull thud sounded as the person fell to the ground.
What was happening before his eyes was completely beyond Soren's expectations. The King of the Swamp, whom he considered quite troublesome, was now split into many pieces. Its body was covered with sword wounds, but no blood seeped from the wounds, as if the blood had been broken down by some powerful force. The King of the Swamp's massive body fell to the ground, splitting into many pieces of flesh as it fell.
That's absolutely impossible!
Soren was shocked by what he saw, because for him only a second had passed, but for Vivian, who was pregnant, a full thirty seconds had gone by.
What he was seeing defied Soren's common sense!
but.
He quickly realized that only the Epic Spell [Time Stop] could achieve such an effect.
Vivian defeated the King of the Swamp!
