Chapter 139: Awakening
Still unaware of the boss’s skill cooldown, it was best to output damage as much as possible right now.
After being hit by the chaotic dance, the Demon Knight paused briefly and then charged forward on his warhorse.
As a cavalry unit, his speed was significantly different from that of foot soldiers, and within moments, he was in front of Starry.
“Mo Se, devour!”
Zane commanded from a distance, and the giant Sacred Demon Beetle rushed toward the boss.
Although its size was exaggerated, it moved quietly, seemingly able to walk perfectly close to the ground, which was why Zane could sleep soundly on its back earlier.
The oppressive feeling from the shadow was overwhelming, and the boss looked up at this colossal creature.
Then—he was swallowed whole.
Is it resolved?
No… looking closely, Mo Se’s mouth was not tightly closed!
The shadow of the Dark Armor was wedged between its upper and lower jaws.
At the same time, a huge number flew out from Mo Se’s head,
-2351
The internal damage dealt a massive blow to Mo Se, causing it to loosen its grip in pain, giving the bone horse an opportunity to spring out!
However, Starry would not just stand by and watch.
In the air was the most vulnerable moment because, without a point of leverage, it was nearly impossible to dodge the enemy’s attack.
And indeed, that was the case.
Storm Domain!
The frenzied wind element transformed into countless wind blades crashing against the boss, creating a misbalance in his movements,
-455
-455
The damage was too low due to damage reduction; it was nearly unable to break through his defenses.
-257
The Demon Knight crashed to the ground in a messy manner.
At the same time, the chaotic swordsman and Ice Frost Tiger arrived at his side—it was time to beat up the drowning dog!
Star Cat gathered energy, coldness converged, Frost Claws!
miss, even after hitting the ground, its evasion rate was still considerable.
No problem, there’s still one more chance; the freezing snow breathed out from Star Cat, Frozen Breath!
-232
The damage was touching, but this time luck was on Zane’s side. The chilling breath clung to the Demon Knight, enveloping him in a huge ice block, immobilizing him!
Inside, the Dark Armor continued to swell, resisting this force.
It seemed the control wouldn’t last long.
Taking advantage of this hard-earned opportunity, Starry stepped forward, her momentum sinking, and the Qiu Yue Sword struck out, Frenzied Triple Slash!
-455
-1357
-455
-1990
-455
-5339
The storms mixed with the slashes dealt tons of damage; the final hit even triggered a critical strike, taking away over 10k of his health, despite the massive damage reduction of the Dark Armor.
His tenacity was only 23.7% now!
At this moment, the ice block could no longer withstand the immense damage inside and shattered into a pile of ice shards.
Even collapsed on the ground, the boss could still unleash powerful attacks.
Swish!
The Magic Sword struck fiercely at Starry’s lower abdomen.
-576
The Ice Flow Shield’s time had passed, and no opportunity for a third block remained. Under the blessing of the Prayer—Blessing enhancement, the damage the boss could deal was very limited.
However, this force was indeed not something a human could withstand.
Starry struggled to take two steps back.
Seeing Starry being pushed back, the boss struggled to rise.
He still wants to get up?
Star Cat swung his claws down, but was deflected by a sword.
-1756
The Ice Frost Tiger’s health was already below 10%!
“How truly… amazing. Are you the new generation among humans?” the Demon Knight remarked as he steadied himself.
He still has his reason? Is there hidden lore?
…
No room for discussion.
“Do you think I would spare you just because you’re trying to be friendly?” Starry said, anger flashing across her beautiful face. “My friend died at your hands, today, I will definitely crush your flame.”
“Hahahaha!”
As if recalling something, the Demon Knight’s movements were no longer as rigid as at first.
“You bear a striking resemblance to my daughter; she often gets angry at me too.”
Although no expression could be seen, and his voice was harsh, there was unexpectedly a hint of warmth in his words.
“…”
“I wonder how long it has been since I became this way.” He glanced at the warhorse beneath him, half of his human form fused with it.
“Alright, let’s continue our battle, little girl.” The skeleton knight’s mouth opened and closed.
At these words, Zane felt a bit shaken.
“If you have memories, why do you still serve the Dark Faction? Why… do you turn your blade against humans? Even…”
In fact, Zane knew the answers to these questions.
The boss had clearly gained memories only after evolving; she was just upset.
Upset that she couldn’t protect Alna properly.
The skeleton knight seemed to want to say more, but unexpectedly, the Undead Flame on his forehead flared up fiercely!
His movements became numb, returning to the rigid form from before.
“…”
Casting aside extraneous thoughts, Starry steadied herself; no matter what, he must be resolved.
Otherwise, it might be impossible to save Alna again.
Just as Zane made this determination, the Demon Knight’s body transformed into a series of afterimages, executing the skill—Peerless Charge!!
It was too fast.
There was no time to dodge.
Starry’s action to block with her sword was too slow compared to the charge; she was about to be hit!
Grinding her teeth, she prepared her freely used skills, ready to strike back!
Buzz—!
The sound of wind breaking through arrived.
Like an arrow, the sound was somewhat strange.
Aiming at the unprepared Starry, the purple Magic Sword slashed down, and this area was likely to trigger a weak point attack!
In a critical moment, a deformation appeared at the boss’s left waist.
What’s happening?
The deformation intensified, and upon closer inspection, the tail end of an arrow was exposed.
The sharp arrowhead pierced through the Dark Armor and directly struck into the boss’s body.
Then, it sent the towering skeleton knight flying back!
-5821
The Dark Armor completely cracked from this strike.
This is…
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, a familiar female voice echoed from the right, “Quick, pursue!”
Is it her!?
No matter what, this was a rare opportunity; if the boss regained his composure, the next battle would be even tougher with the Peerless state enhancement!
Lightning Assault!
Charging towards the place where the boss was falling.
-1852
Damage was already being dealt after the Dark Armor disappeared.
Three Gray Wolves came rushing in, howling, one wolf, one claw,
-1
-1
-1
“…” Why does using this skill feel so embarrassing?
The Demon Knight’s instincts seemed to flare up; magic smoke billowed from the sword, Fractured Spirit!
Puh!
Upon contact, the three Gray Wolves were extinguished one after another.
-14286
-12678
-13200
Thanks to them buying time, Zane was able to evade this lethal attack.
Whoosh!
A plain arrow shot out, hitting the boss directly,
-1756
And a layer of purple Armor-Piercing debuff appeared—Armor-Piercing Arrow!?
Under the combined effects of Thousand Flash Step and Weightlessness, Starry quickly rushed over.
The Demon Knight’s warhorse raised its front hooves high, about to try the same trick!?
At this moment, a sly smile appeared on Starry’s face.
Just as the hooves were about to hit the ground, the ground beneath gave way.
The warhorse’s front half became stuck in the ground after stepping into thin air!
