Chapter 93 The Battle In The Desert
Divine Arrow is Elena's most powerful offensive ability. This ability let her amplify the power and momentum of her arrows using degu energy. Elana's mastery was level 4, she can destroy mountain trenches with her multiple arrows.
Even if Fein is the one on the receiving end, he would have to dodge Elena's "Divine Arrow".
Under the eyes of everyone, A golden arrow that was shining with brilliance appeared on Elena's wind bow. Elena pulled the string as she concentrated all her power on this attack.
This attack would be a deciding factor in this battle. It would determine if they would be able to survive.
Fein and Sofia who was hiding far away saw Elena's power.
"Can you resist that attack??" Sofia asked casually.
Fein nodded after thinking for a while, "If it was me who hadn't learned the Crimson Eagle Sword Style, then I need to exert all of my strength. But, now I can just cut that Divine Arrow of her with one of my casual attacks. My attacks focus on speed, and speed creates a power."
Sofia also knew that she had witnessed how fast Fein's sword is. She guessed that even with all of her boosts stacked together, she won't even have time to react if she was on the receiving end.
"Let's focus on their battle first, if they can't hold on any longer, then that would be the time to show up, It's best if they can create an opening for us to deal large damage on the Centipede. We have to be patient enough to deal the highest damage we can, or else the monster would use its second form."
Fein was solemn while saying this.
Sofia nodded to this and began to focus her attention on the battle. She knew Fein's ability that can see other people's abilities. If he said that the Centipede has a second form, it must have a second form.
The Blazing Centipede looked at its opponents that suddenly pulled their distance, as it was about to follow them, its senses discovered huge energy fluctuations. The Centipede looked at the direction of the fluctuation only to see an arrow heading in its direction.
It was about to use its "Lava Blast" to offset the Golden Arrow.
Redriff saw the Centipede's intention and says:
"We have to interrupt it!"
Sova who has a lvl 4 swordsmanship amongst them gathered all her strength in her both arms preparing to cancel the Centipede's ability.
As his swordsmanship was in lvl 4, he can slash a mountain in half with his strongest attack.
Sova was born in a family of sword wielders, he was the most talented sword heir that was born in the history of their family because of his ability "Sword Heart".
Sword Heart allows Sova to understand the essence and meaning of swordsmanship tremendously. Those who possessed Sword Heart were said to be destined to become a Sword Saints. The only reason he participated in the secret realm this time was to break through the bottleneck he encountered and reach lvl 5 swordsmanship.
"Sword ki"... Sova's degu energy was converted into sword ki boosting his sword damage by 100%.
Seeing that the Centipede was done condensing its attack, Sova hurriedly waved his strongest slash towards the mouth of the Centipede.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The Centipede fired the Lava Blast successfully.
ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ
"It's over," Ryu said with a trembling voice as his voice was full of desperation.
Redriff beside him kneeled on the ground with hollow eyes.
As they were wailing in their despair an unexpected scene happen. Sova's attack collided with the "Lava Blast" near its mouth, the collision of two energy attacks resulted in an explosion that injured the corner of Centipede's mouth causing it roar loudly due to anguish.
It's not the end yet, as the "Divine Arrow" followed. Then...
*Boom*
A loud explosion reverberated throughout the area. The explosion was so powerful that it produces a strong shockwave. The dust covered the area of the Centipede making the onlookers unable to see it.
Redriff looked at the scene with astonishment, then it turned to excitement. He stood up and shouted. "There's still hope yet! Attack it with your most powerful abilities!"
Ryu took out his axe and condense axe energy. He infused all of his degu reserves in this final attack.
Sova who just launched a powerful attack didn't hesitate and used his "Sword Form". Sova's white hair became silver gray and her left eye shine in blue light. "Sword Form" is the trump card that he rarely used. He would only use it as a last resort. This ability let him use "Divine Slash" which allows him to access the power of swordsmanship one realm higher than him. It means, with his lvl 4 swordsmanship. He can perform a one-time slash that has the power of lvl 5! An attack that can divide a whole island like Fein who hadn't learned "Crimson Eagle Sword Art" previously.
Elena slumped to the ground seeing her attack successfully deal damage to the Centipede with the help of Sova. Now, her degu reserves were empty because of it. She can only watch her teammates attacked one after another. She was glad that she didn't let her companions down.
Jhamaica beside her smiled, "You did your best Elena, it's our time now."
After leaving this sentence, she pulled her wind bow.
"Firebolt!"
A flaming arrow flew toward the Centipede's direction.
*Thud* *thud*
All of their attacks came through the position of Centipede one after another.
*Shriek!*
A painful ground was heard, the dust cleared and they saw the sorry state of the Centipede. Its carapace was cracked and oozing with black blood. Various injuries vary in size caused by the cold weapons and energy attacks. The Blazing Centipede looks extremely miserable.
"Run!" Elena shouted, with that damage, they are confident to escape as it won't have the energy to pursue them.
Sova, Redriff, Ryu, and Jhamaica run as fast as they can and followed Elena.
Seeing the abominable humans who hurt it run away, the Centipede livid with rage. Red spikes suddenly protruded in its entire body, and as its eye became purple-black like a demon, two giant wings emerged slowly on its back.
This is the "Blazing Flame Form" that could expand the flame essence of the Centipede increasing its overall strength and vitality.
Elena looked back to see if the Centipede were following them. As she looked back she saw the most terrifying scene in her life, her face despaired, as drops of tears fell, "Sorry guys..."
The others also looked back one after another. After seeing the hellish form of the Centipede, they knew it was their end.
