Chapter 421 - Fashant, Incarnation of Spirit King (3)
Chapter 421 – Fashant, Incarnation of Spirit King (3)
Even though he already realized that the Earth Spirit could not damage me at all, he summoned the Earth Spirit again as if he was not fully convinced. If I had been in his shoes, I would have felt the same thing because he didn’t know why the Earth Spirit that used to work so well didn’t this time.
Even though he summoned the Earth Spirit, the land was still calm, and the Ice Field I laid out on it was as firm as ever. In other words, given my ally, the roots underground, this was a two-on-one fight which he could never win.
I could not help but smile in satisfaction because this was my first time fighting my opponent with numerical superiority. In other words, my opponents have always had numerical superiority until now. Nevertheless, I always won.
But this time, I fought him with numerical superiority for the first time.
So I had to defeat him by all means, and overwhelmingly at that.
Basically, I fought against Fashant more comfortably than the black liquid man for several reasons.
.
As far as enemy traits were concerned, ice-types and fire-types were clearly advantageous for me. On the other hand, what I hated most was the wind-types and land-types like Fashant.
My trait Iceman had several other options aside from the 30% increase in the power of all ice-type skills. And one of them was that damage from incoming ice-type attacks was reduced by 30%. In other words, if my opponent is an ice-type, he is like a rat before a cat
And against fire-types, I was also in an advantageous position.
[Thanks to the determination of the Ice Emperor that even the Sun God could not melt, you have a 20% damage reduction and superiority for all fire-type skills.]
It was an option attached to the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.
Moreover, that was the option when it was +0 Enhancement, but the damage reduction soared as high as 35% when I upgraded it to +8 Enhancement.
Because of this, ice-type and fire-type enemies could not inflict any big damage on me from the beginning because 30% and 35% were literally tremendous.
On the other hand, I didn’t have much resistance to wind-type and earth-type skills. But now, even earth-type skills were completely blocked by the roots.
In other words, Fashant, the incarnation of the Spirit King, could only use wind-type skills among his vast repertoire of skills. Did his wind-type skills deal any fatal blow to me?
Well, my Willpower was too high for such skills to affect me at all.
In particular, by activating my enhanced blue ancient spirit inprint, I increased not only the already monstrous damage of my ice-type skills, but also my intellect and willpower by a whopping 3000. In addition to that, I was equipped with armor that was second to none. In other words, it was inevitable that I would win this fight.
So I opened my mouth with a more confident voice.
“Hey, I just feel sorry for your desperate effort. Just stop summoning the Earth Spirit! You look too absent-minded today.”
[Hey! Kill him! Hellfire that burns forever!]
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
I teased him provocatively to upset him even more.
I knew instinctively he would collapse soon.
In the meantime, I used Blink with zero cooldown to avoid the hellfire.
“Blink! Blink!”
Unlike this angry guy, I was very calm.
It has been about 30 minutes since the battle started.
I usually sized up my opponent during the first 30 minutes of combat.
In other words, I could figure out if my opponent was really strong enough to fight me or was just blustering, and if they were upset or just faking it.
Right now, I could clearly see that Fashant was pretending to be upset.
In other words, he was reigning in his emotions for good reason.
He realized that he was not in a favorable situation like before.
This was the moment I was looking forward to, so I started attacking him right away.
I knew that if I delayed attacking him even further in the hopes of getting more information, I might ruin my fighting strategy. If one chases two rabbits, they could lose both.
“Blink!”
Using Blink with zero cooldown, I moved straight to the ice terrain where I spread Ice Field.
“Blizzard! Ice Tornado!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
Wheeeeeeeeeng-
I turned to my two most powerful AOE skills at the same time.
At that moment, as if he felt something uncomfortable, he tried to avoid me rather than charge at me like before. But it was too late. He should have avoided me well in advance.
“Ice Punishment! Ice Breath!”
I didn’t spare these skills that I had saved from the moment I confronted this guy.
Bang! Bang!
[Khuuuuuuk!]
A huge slab of ice and ice that blew out like the Milky Way, which was reminiscent of the legendary Breath that a dragon could use only three times during its lifetime.
The ice of Ice Punishment was pretty transparent.
So were Blizzard and Ice Tornado, as well as other ice-type skills. Even level 9 Ice Breath was also like that.
However, in level 10 Ice Breath, there was a particularly golden chunk of ice that sparkled between the transparent ice surrounding it.
For some reason, I thought that it was the ice essence of Ice Breath among all the other skills as described in my trait Iceman. Needless to say, its power was enormous.
Anyway, Fashant was showered with my powerful barrage of ice-type skills.
But I didn’t just sit idle and watch blankly because I could not rule out the possibility that he might still be alive, so I moved right next to him using Blink with zero cooldown to kill him completely. But there was no trace of him left except for an incredibly deep pit.
Of course, there was also an accompanying message.
[You have succeeded in getting rid of 10 enemies per day on the 5th day.
-You have accumulated bonus points because you have killed a total of 25,877 enemies in addition to the daily quota. You will receive additional rewards when you return to the earth successfully.
-You have accumulated bonus points because you have killed a total of 25,878 enemies in addition to the daily quota. You will receive additional rewards when you return to the earth successfully.

-You have accumulated bonus points because you have killed a total of 26,011 enemies in addition to the daily quota. You will receive additional rewards when you return to the earth successfully.]
My level 10 Ice Breath inflicted damage even to those who were watching this fight at a distance. Of course, none of those within the damage range survived.
But that was not important.
I was still on full alert because even the black liquid man regenerated to the size of a fingernail after a few hours.
At that moment, a message rang.
[You have made a ‘great achievement’ as part of the advance party.
-You have killed a strong opponent in his own backyard.
-You receive 3000 remaining stat points.
-Your reality actualization rate increases by 5% immediately irrespective of how high it is currently.]
“Hahaha!”
Of course, the ‘strong opponent’ here referred to only one person, namely, Fashant, the owner of the 7th Royal District and the incarnation of the Spirit King.
But I didn’t smile to myself for long because there were still so many people around me blankly looking up at me floating in the air.
So I charged at them right away.
Did I need a break? No way. I was still in a great mood for combat.
Even though my opponent was strong, I was stronger than him.
And I didn’t suffer as much damage as I thought, thanks to an increase in my control power.
“Damn it! Run away!”
“Shit! Fashant was killed by him!”
“Avoid him!”
I tenaciously kept chasing and charging at them to get rid of even one more of them.
I knew that they would heighten their security against me after confirming that I killed their leader Fashant, one of the strongest among strong men.
