Chapter 888: Chapter 870: The Final Gambit
Yami can not only transform into the targets it has devoured, but it also possesses their abilities!
For instance, the greatsword it’s wielding now is the weapon of the Red Rock Emperor from years ago, and its techniques are identical to those the Red Rock Emperor once used. The only difference is that their power has beco overwhelmingly stronger!
After knocking Rocky away with a single slash, Yami stepped through the air in rapid succession, instantly catching up to him. The greatsword in its hand ca crashing down on Rocky’s head relentlessly!
Luckily, they were in midair, giving Rocky more space to dodge. Facing the descending greatsword, he hurriedly sank downward as if plumting, swiftly evading the attack while gaining distance from Yami.
By now, Rocky had realized—escaping without battling Yami was impossible. So after stabilizing his posture, he charged upward again, wielding his scythe without hesitation toward Yami.
With a horizontal sweep of the scythe, a chilling light flashed past Yami’s waist, instantly slicing it in two. But in the next second, Yami, split in half, healed itself effortlessly, showing no signs of injury before leaping forward toward Rocky.
The greatsword danced wildly as Yami’s offensive beca relentless, showcasing martial techniques Rocky had never seen before. Naturally, he hadn’t seen them, as every move Yami used now originated from the Red Rock Emperor. Being a figure from over a century ago, the martial techniques the Red Rock Emperor had mastered were nearly lost to history and now referred to as Ancient Martial Techniques.
These Ancient Martial Techniques were far superior to modern martial thods. Back then, Mana Technology wasn’t as advanced as it is now, nor did they have powerful equipnt like the Void Magic Armor. Consequently, people honed their martial skills with greater precision and ferocity. In such conditions, Rocky was pushed back repeatedly, barely able to block attacks without countering.
Ducking to evade a horizontal sweep of the greatsword, Rocky scarcely had ti to stabilize himself midair before Yami thrust the weapon at him, forcing him to retreat again, unwilling to risk parrying with his scythe.
He had no choice—Yami’s strength as a Great Demon was overwhelming. Every ti Rocky’s scythe clashed with Yami’s greatsword resulted in the scythe being knocked away, sotis nearly flying out of his grasp entirely. After several attempts, Rocky no longer dared to et Yami’s greatsword head-on.
Although Rocky was on the defensive throughout their many clashes, he still found plenty of openings to counterattack. Unfortunately, none of his counterattacks were effective, as Yami was entirely indifferent to physical forces. No matter the injuries inflicted by the scythe, Yami restored itself instantly each ti.
Rocky had considered using Elental Attacks against Yami, which seed like a viable strategy, but there was another issue he needed to take into account—mana consumption.
While Elental Attacks could indeed harm Yami, Rocky faced rely one mist-ford clone of Yami. Being composed of mist, Yami could envelop the entire Mist Mountain. How many clones of the Red Rock Emperor could Yami create? And how many tis could Rocky unleash Elental Attacks? Despite the ample mana reserves within the White Demon Armor, they were still finite. If Rocky expended all the limited uses of Elental Attacks battling clones, would he still be able to escape?
Obviously not!
Thus, Rocky had to save Elental Attacks for the most crucial mont if he wanted to make it out alive.
Faced with Yami’s ferocious onslaught, Rocky could only retreat step by step.
However, his extensive combat experience allowed him to maneuver cleverly even while retreating. Though it might seem he was backing away continuously, upon closer inspection, one would notice his retreat was heading upward, not downward!
This was the defining trait of aerial combat—in midair, forward, backward, and sideways were relative, not absolute. So when Rocky was forced to retreat repeatedly, he was actually inching closer to higher altitudes, searching for an escape opportunity.
Soon enough, that opportunity appeared!
After being swept away by Yami’s greatsword once again, Rocky leveraged the trendous force of the strike to propel himself backward, swiftly accelerating his warship to maximum speed. In an instant, he shot upward by tens of ters, putting considerable distance between himself and Yami while drawing near to the fog’s zenith.
But, naturally, Yami wouldn’t let Rocky succeed so easily. Just as Rocky was about to break free of the mist, the figure of the Red Rock Emperor erged once more, blocking his path. However, this outco was well within Rocky’s expectations. Without slowing down, Rocky charged straight at Yami, gripping his scythe tightly as red-colored runes flared up on his wrist. The runes spread rapidly, igniting the Magic Fang Scythe in flas. A fiery tongue coiled around the weapon!
Elental Augntation!
After the successful research of Elental Runes, the Magic Fang Scythe had been enhanced with various elental runes, allowing Rocky to switch between them during combat. He had been waiting for the right mont and hadn’t used it until now. But finally, the opportunity had arrived, and Rocky unleashed the Elental Attack without hesitation.
Wrapped in blazing flas like a hellish blade, the Magic Fang Scythe cleaved across Yami’s chest, instantly slicing it in two. This ti, with the scythe enveloped in fire, Yami was unable to recover as it had before. Instead, it let out a blood-curdling scream before slowly dissipating.
This was a chance Rocky couldn’t let slip. He imdiately accelerated again, charging upward toward the high-altitude escape route.
But at that mont, the mist around him suddenly gathered and ford two massive hands, reaching out fiercely from either side to grab him!
Clearly, Yami wasn’t letting him leave so easily.
Seeing the colossal hands closing in, Rocky realized his scythe would be ineffective against them. With limited range, the weapon couldn’t contend with the imnse size of the mist-ford hands. So, without reducing speed, Rocky activated the runes on his shoulder armor, causing arcs of electricity to spark around his armor.
Pumping nearly all the mana from his armor into the Elental Runes, Rocky’s electric aura imdiately intensified. He raised his arms outward, aiming at the oncoming giant hands on either side, sending forth two imnse bolts of lightning in a flash!
The lightning shot forth, and the two massive hands froze midair as if electrified before starting to dissolve and disintegrate bit by bit monts later.
It worked!
Though using most of his armor’s mana reserves to trigger such powerful lightning attacks, Rocky was aware of his success. Once the massive hands completely disintegrated, he would be able to escape!
But just then, the mist above his head began swirling violently, and within seconds it ford into a gigantic fist that ca crashing down on him. With a deafening thud, Rocky was slamd straight toward the ground…
