Chapter 894 Mortal Battle
894 Mortal Battle Vicente closed his eyes as he directed the newly formed cyan essence into his body, sucking in the mana from the surroundings while the Dragon’s Amulet shone like a star.
A barrier of mana and various elements formed around him and the cyan pentagram, forming a spherical cocoon five meters in radius.
Meanwhile, the Throne of Darkness worked to connect with its final essence, the one that would complete the positions it currently had and allow it to finally display 100% of its powers.
The Throne of Darkness needed little time. In just over a minute and a half, it could complete the absorption of this essence that was nearly 100% compatible with it.
As this pentagram entered Vicente’s body, his first essence and the green essence he had just absorbed changed color, trembling as they went from green to cyan.
As long as he finished absorbing the cyan pentagram, Vicente would gain three new abilities at once!
Not only that, but while pentagrams rarely increased a magician’s cultivation, Vicente’s case was special. He already had a full-fledged magical form. Each new pentagram he absorbed was more than his body should naturally have. Even if others rarely became stronger in terms of mana level after absorbing new pentagrams, that wasn’t the case with Vicente!
As his two green Throne of Darkness pentagrams changed color and the absorption of the cyan pentagram took place, his mana level skyrocketed, reaching the end of a High-level Paragon’s level.
Torne didn’t hesitate to leave his master’s body and stay with him in the area protected by the cocoon of mana, while he himself poured his mana into this defensive structure.
‘The master must succeed! As long as he succeeds, his magical quality will be like that of superior vampires with High-level Paragon cultivation!’
The ghost thought to himself as he felt a chill run through his spiritual body, and he couldn’t help but feel anxious for his master to succeed.
If Vicente achieved this today, then in the future, when he had 12 pentagrams, this black-haired young man would be as strong as or stronger than vampires of the same level! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
This would be the first case of a living being, being stronger than vampires!
Even talented and powerful elves had to have a cultivation advantage to face superior vampires!
But while Torne was putting up a last defensive barrier to protect his master, the 20 enemies got close enough to them to start this deadly battle.
Fearing that Vicente would succeed and things would get out of hand, the High-level Paragon leading this assault didn’t hesitate to unleash the maximum of his powers at the beginning of the battle.
The creature unleashed his cyan pentagram from his body and attacked toward Vicente’s cocoon, aiming for the young magician’s life.
All of his companions, vampires and monsters, did the same, each of them displaying amazing powers that warped space and made the ground around tremble.
Each of the attacks launched against Vicente was enough to seriously injure him, enough to challenge the group of ten protectors surrounding him at that moment.
The massive Roc flapped its wings and assumed a defensive fighting stance, mirroring its adversaries. It unleashed a relentless assault, using all its might, solely to protect Vicente.
Lonan moved, trying to get the attention of one creature so that it would focus on him instead of the human who was going through the most important moment of his life.
Elmo wrapped his roots around Vicente’s cocoon, while he himself moved against his enemies, trying, like Lonan, to draw their attention to him.
But in the first clash between these groups, Vicente’s side would show their weakness in the face of such powerful enemies.
If it hadn’t been for the Dragon’s Amulet’s abilities working amid Vicente’s pentagram absorption, half of the group would have died in the first exchange of moves!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!”
Victor screamed in horror as he felt the destroyed parts of his body heal fast enough for him not to die after the first attack from the Paragon vampire, but not fast enough for him not to scream in agony.
Qiang faced a similar situation; he lost four limbs when attacked by three Mid-level Paragons, but the regenerative ability of the Dragon’s Amulet quickly stimulated his regeneration.
Ayden broke out in a cold sweat when he found himself in this situation, his counterattack easily destroyed while the enemies were getting closer to Vicente’s cocoon. Concurrently with all this, he was already showing signs of exhaustion.
‘Is this the difference between our fighting skills?’ he asked himself with a grimace on his face, not liking it at all.
But certain that his state, his family, and ultimately the continent needed Vicente more than he, the man moved, appearing in front of Vice’s cocoon like a human shield.
Not only did he move like that, but Jacob, Paul and Victor did the same, letting their companions try to take at least some enemies away from Vicente, while they became the first barrier of the young man’s defenses.
The other companions of these four humans managed to attract the attention of the Dark Path beasts in the area, driving off twelve of the creatures, but not the eight vampires who thirsted for Vicente’s failure.
These eight eventually reached within ten feet of the enemy cocoon, and each attacked, not to kill the four humans in the way, but to destroy the barriers on their way to Vicente.
The High-level Paragon used his innate ability to knock down the silver-haired man in his path, forcing him to his knees as a dark essence entered his body, corroding his physical and spiritual essence.
Victor couldn’t resist. Even using all of his powers at once, he fell before his opponent, his eyes quickly losing all light.
The High-level Paragon used up most of his strength, but he successfully eliminated the toughest enemy in his path.
The other seven vampires easily slaughtered the remaining group of humans, slashing or crushing the bodies of Ayden, Paul, and Jacob.
Thus, four human warriors, noble specialists with centuries of experience, fell before the eight superior vampires in search of Minos’ weakness.
At that moment, the eight attacked the cocoon protected by Elmo’s roots, destroying the Leshy’s defenses before breaking the elemental cocoon.
Crack!
Cracks spread around the structure, which only didn’t explode immediately because of Torne.
But even this ghost couldn’t last long in this state. His strength was consumed in an instant before all the defenses around Vicente fell!
