Chapter 1420: The Power of the Sovereign Rank

Crackle! Crackle!

Lightning crackled across the Blade of Thunder as the lightning-clad boss gathered a sphere of crackling lightning above his fingertip. He then dropped it on top of a hundred NPCs and turned them and the ground beneath them into ashes instantly. It was yet another Thunder Abyss.

"Kakaka…"

While avoiding the archers’ arrows, Thunder fired another lightning shockwave while growling hatefully, "Do you really think these puny powers are enough to kill me, Karinshan, Sophia? Dream on!"

……

Karinshan was standing atop a rubble with one of her arms hanging limply beside her. It looked like it was broken. Gripping the Guardian Blade with her remaining hand tightly, she shot toward Thunder like a cannonball and successfully knocked him back about dozens of meters. The Purgatory Sovereign crashed into a stone pillar and dropped to 2% HP. He wasn’t quite dead yet, but he definitely had one foot in death’s door.

Thunder raised his arm and fired three Thunder Abysses in a row, driving Karinshan backward and nearly melting the armor she was wearing. If her body wasn’t protected by a sheen of golden divine energy, she would probably be ashes just like Stark already. The average person simply couldn’t withstand the power of Thunder Abyss.

Thunder rose to his feet with a mad laugh. "Do you know, Karinshan? Even now, I can kill you as easily as flipping my palm!"

A panting Karinshan simply frowned without uttering a single word.

It was at this moment a black boot crushed the remnants of a brick into pieces, and an icy, feminine voice that sounded like it came from hell itself said, "We meet again, Thunder. Do you remember my promise to kill you?"

……

"Dammit!!!"

Thunder shuddered visibly as he stared at the space in front of him in shock. There, an incredibly sexy warrioress clad in black armor and wielding a fiery red blade was walking toward her. Her beautiful face was marred by a cold sneer, and the way the corner of her lips were curled could only be described as disdainful.

"So… Sophie…"

Thunder gripped his weapon with the look of a man who was about to fight his death. He said in a trembling voice, "W-why did you betray the Purgatory? You promised Lord Lin Na you would serve the Purgatory and death for eternity. What made you turn your back on us and join the hypocritical humans?"

Sophie replied indifferently, "When I learned that Coldblade was the one who planned by descent to hell, when I learned that my closest sister still cares for me, when I learned that a sliver of pity still exists in the human world, and when I learned of the true extent of the Purgatory’s deviousness and shamelessness, I was no longer a member of the Purgatory Legion. Now come, Thunder. We have been acquaintances for a long time, it’s only right that I send you on your last journey myself."

"No!" Thunder gritted his teeth and looked toward the west. "Lord Coldblade… Lord Coldblade wouldn’t lie to me, I…"

He abruptly took a step backward only to slam into a wind wall. A bloody wound immediately sprouted behind his back.

Sophie slowly lowered her palm while smiling. "You think you can run? Don’t worry, you’ll never be able to do it as long as you are in my domain. In terms of the ability to escape, Coldblade is easily ten times your superior…"

"I…" Thunder snarled when he finally realized that he had reached the end of his road. He swore, "Sophie, you fucking bitch! I’d rather die than beg for my life! My only regret is that I pitied you and didn’t ravage you like the bitch you are on your first day in the Purgatory! I should’ve made you wish you were dead!"

Sophie’s complexion instantly turned a shade of angry green. "You asked for this, Thunder!"

……

Swhoosh!

It was at this moment a spinning blade penetrated Thunder’s body and dealt over 380k damage to him. Sophie turned around just in time to see me running toward her.

"Pooh. You again. What do you want?" She shot me a look of clear disdain.

I caught my sword and replied smilingly, "Sophie, I have a score to settle with this Thunder. Can you make sure he doesn’t escape while me and my men take him out? You won’t have to get your hands dirty this way?"

"Is that so?" Sophie tilted her head with a scornful smile on her face. "What if Thunder manages to take you out though? Xinran would tear me apart. Somehow, you are more important to her than even I am…"

A cold gleam flashed across her eyes as she continued. "On second thought, that wouldn’t be so bad, would it? If you die, I can grind you to dust and make it so that you don’t exist in this world. This way, I will remain as the most important person in her heart…"

I shuddered. "Are you helping me or not?"

"Sure, why not? Go on then…"

Sophie took a step to the side before staring at me menacingly.

Gui Guzi let out a sigh of admiration. "Man, Boss Broken Halberd is seriously amazing. He’s even got a brutal boss like Sophie under his thumb…"

Li Chengfeng grimaced. "You sure? I think Sophie will kill him the second he gives her the opportunity…"

He Yi: "..."

Lin Yixin: "..."

I rolled my eyes and rebuked all of them, "If you have the energy to talk, then you have the time to take out Thunder’s last percent of HP! Now let’s go! This super boss's experience and equipment are ours! Also, don’t let up on the healing, priests!"

……

I kicked off my attack with a long-range Dragon Slaying Slash + Summon the Storm combo. Then, I pushed myself off a broken wall and stabbed Thunder in the chest from top down. It was Purple Frost Concentration to lower the boss's Dfense.

"You dare!"

Humiliated and enraged, Thunder punched by Cyan Dragon Shield with an electrified fist and turned my arm completely numb. While I was pushed back by the force behind his strike, a ball of purple thunder gathered above my head. It was Thunder Abyss!

592,187!

2,367,167!

Thankfully, the boss failed to instakill me. While I was flying across the air, I waved my hand three times in a row to execute Tenacity of the Dead + Dragon Bloodboil + Rank 13 Health Potion combo—

+1,082,873!

+649,723!

+100,000!

……

Then, I returned to the fray. While I was incapitated, Li Chengfeng, Lin Yixin, He Yi and Gui Guzi were already surrounding Thunder and hitting him with their own combos. Although Thunder was still extremely powerful, he was also on his last legs. He attempted to give chase after knocking all the dragon knights backward with the swing of a blade, but found himself faceplanting into an Origin Force Field instead. The skill normally wouldn’t work on him, but with only 1% HP left, he was so weakened the system no longer granted him immunity to such effects. Lian Xin went on to cast Dimensional Storm and Ice Spiral Matrix. No one’s damage was more reliable than hers in a situation like this.

Buzz!

Another Thunder Abyss dropped He Yi and Lin Yixin to low health and drove them back. While activating Heavenly River Transformation and expanding a pair of pure white wings behind her back, Lin Yixin cried, "The boss must be near death, Little Cheat! Activate your Heavenly River Transformation and hit him with your strongest AoE!"

"Yeah!"

I healed myself to max HP and MP before activating Heavenly River Transformation. Then, I stabbed the Chill of the Nine Provinces into the ground. Countless dragon souls groaned beneath my feet as purple draconic energy crawled up my sword. Then, I swung the blade and sent a gigantic purple dragon straight toward Thunder. It was my strongest damaging skill, Purple Dragon Howl!

It felt like all the strength in my body had been sucked out of me. The biggest flaw of Purple Dragon Howl was that it would inflict me with the Weakened status condition and make me extremely vulnerable for 3 seconds. Normally, I would never use it unless the circumstances were almost ideal like this one.

……

Whoosh!

Thunder stood blankly as the purple energy rushed toward him with enough energy to rip all the air and earth around it to shreds. Infinite defiance and hatred exploded from his eyes as he planted his blade on the ground and dropped to his knees. "To think that I, a hero of ages, would fall like this. To think that I, Thunder, would die in the hands of a human! This… this is a great shame. I cannot accept this… I cannot accept this…"

Suddenly, an indigo figure dropped down from the sky!

Bang!

It was a man surrounded by icy energy. He was none other than the other Purgatory Sovereign I had antagonized a long time ago, Coldblade the Infinite Storm. He extended his palm in front of him and summoned an icy force field that looked like a giant shield. At the same time, he shouted, "Ice Shield! Break it all!"

Boom boom boom…

Purple Dragon Howl slammed into Coldblade’s Ice Shield and triggered a column of damage numbers, but all it did was a bunch of misses. What the fuck! Purple Dragon Howl was literally the strongest skill I knew, and the guy had blocked it all with a single Ice Shield? Just how strong was Coldblade now?

……

"God… dammit…" I swore resentfully.

"Oh shit, Coldblade’s here…" Lin Yixin’s eyes widened in shock.

Gui Guzi also swore, "Fuck! What do we do now? Coldblade still has… 91% HP?? What the fuck was the Northern Alliance doing? When we fought Thunder the first time, we had reduced his HP to just 50% in the same amount of time!"

Li Chengfeng said in a clinical voice, "Our spies reported that Hero Alliance, Shabby Castle, God’s Domain and more had almost lost their entire guilds trying to fight Coldblade. He is definitely much stronger than Thunder…"

He Yi ordered decisively, "Retreat! There is no need to die here!"

……

We backed at least dozens of meters from Coldblade before we dared to look back. The icy storm Coldblade conjured looked like the storm of the apocalypse itself, and the earth beneath his feet looked like they had been split apart by an earthquake.

"Ugh…"

When Thunder opened his eyes and realized that he had been saved from the brink of death, he exclaimed in joy, "Lord… Lord Coldblade! I knew you wouldn’t leave me behind! I knew you would come and save me! Hahaha, what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger! I will make those two bitches, Karinshan and Sophie, pay! I will make the entire human race pay for what they’ve done to me!!"

However, Coldblade turned around to face Thunder with a sneer. "Your mission is done, Thunder."

"What mission?" Thunder asked.

Shlk!

There was a soft sound that sounded like ripping flesh, and Thunder’s pupils dilated rapidly. Coldblade had stuck nearly his entire arm through Thunder’s body before pulling out a bloody, black heart. He slowly moved it to his mouth, took a bite and chewed loudly. "The death energy of a sovereign-level expert is truly delicious! Rest in peace, Thunder, my brother. I shall inherit your power!"
