’What a powerful buff skill.’
It did not just increase one primary stat by 30%, but four of them! This kind of power surge was enough to make a player’s overall damage soar by leaps and bounds!
In addition, it granted an in-battle HP and MP regeneration boost—sothing much needed for the remaining Sacred Beasts mbers who were standing on their last leg.
To top it all off, it was an AOE skill with a huge range of influence. But, the most astonishing part of the skill had to be its five-minute duration. An AOE buff-type skill staying in effect for that long was virtually unheard of. This was even more so for one so high level.
’It’s at least an S-ranked skill. How convenient. That being said, this guild’s luck is quite terrible. If they had this buff earlier, it’s likely they would have defeated the Failed Chira before my arrival.’
With his Flickering Steps active and the passive from his Light Feather Footwork ramping up, ng Jiang’s buff made Izroth’s speed, as well as his overall strength, reach new heights!
Swoosh!
Izroth abruptly stopped before one of the Sacred Beasts players sprawled out on the ground and reached down to grab them by their collar. The instant he did so, a film of dark purple energy encompassed the player’s body.
When One Shot Brick witnessed Izroth’s actions out the corner of his eye, his heart nearly dropped out of his chest.
"Don’t-!" But, before One Shot Brick could give his warning, his facial expression turned grim as he observed magical energy forming around the Failed Chira’s serpent tail.
Hsssst!
"This is bad! Even our fastest player couldn’t outrun it...! Banshee!" One Shot Brick exclaid as a magical serpent projection appeared and swiftly extended out from the Failed Chira’s tail. This ti, it was headed right for Izroth!
"I won’t make it!" Banshee shouted. One Shot Brick wanted her to intercept the magical serpent; however, all her movent skills were currently on cooldown. Not to ntion, this magical serpent was different from the normal projection.
Usually, the magical serpent only activated every ti the Failed Chira lost 25% of its HP—this did not start until its HP dropped to 80%. But, there was another way for the magical serpent to make its appearance, and that was touching its "als". The mbers of Sacred Beasts learned this the hard way.
After its initial use of the magical serpent, the Sacred Beasts mbers’ first thought was the sa as Izroth—to move those who died out of the Failed Chira’s range of effectiveness.
However, they paid a heavy price when they discovered that not only did the Failed Chira imdiately target the dead player’s body with its magical serpent, but the projection moved twice as fast!
In the end, even their fastest mber could not outrun it, and the Failed Chira ended up healing for 20% of its HP after devouring the dead player’s body. This is why even though it was a pain to deal with, they decided not to move a fallen player’s body again.
Hssst!
Izroth’s silhouette flickered as he raced over and picked up a second player, then a third. This caused two additional magical serpent projections to form that was just as fast as the first!
When the mbers of Sacred Beasts saw this, they almost coughed up blood from anger. The guild leader had told them of his identity and background, so they thought he would be useful. But what was this? Did he want them to fail so badly?! If the magical serpents sunk their fangs into all three players, the Failed Chira would heal for 60%! At that point, even with ng Jiang’s buff, there would be no chance at victory.
Swoosh! Bang!
The first magical serpent crashed into the ground and through Izroth’s silhouette as he evaded the blow; however, the magical serpent was relentless. Its movent did not halt as it bounced off the ground and shot towards Izroth. Even with his Flickering Steps active and the buff from ng Jiang, the magical serpent was tracking his movents flawlessly!
’Those projections must be locked onto the dark energy surrounding the players. I can’t shake them, but...’
Izroth kicked off his back foot to avoid the incoming assault, as the second and third magical serpents caught up and launched a pincer attack with the other projection.
A high-speed ga of cat and mouse ensued between Izroth and the serpents as he moved further away from the Failed Chira.
10 ters...
20 ters...
30 ters...
Izroth reached the forested area, but the serpents persisted as he skillfully weaved through the trees.
40 ters...
50 ters...
’It reaches this far?’
Izroth was beginning to think that the magical serpents had no range limit. To extend 50 ters away from its host while not losing any speed—no wonder One Shot Brick ntioned that even their fastest player could not outrun them!
But, right when Izroth reached the 51-ter mark, sothing unexpected happened. The magical serpents that had been pursuing him nonstop suddenly started to bubble up and dissolve.
Hsssst! Shrieeeeek!
The serpents cried out before completely evaporating into thin air. At the sa ti, the three players in Izroth’s hands dissipated and turned into particles.
’51 ters there and back... If my Compressed Lightning Movent were not on cooldown, it would not be an issue. But, it seems I’ll have to use a different thod. Three at a ti isn’t enough.’
Izroth still had plenty of ti remaining on his Flickering Steps, but he understood that there was not a second to spare!
Zeuuut!
Izroth’s figure vanished from where he stood.
...
anwhile, a couple of seconds ago, back at the main battlefield of the world boss, the mbers of Sacred Beasts were confused. The magical serpents had disappeared, but the Failed Chira’s HP had not increased by a single percentage. Could he truly have outrun three magical serpents? That should be impossible! Even their fastest player did not get more than 20 ters away before those snakes caught up to him. Judging from how long the serpents extended before vanishing, it was evident that it stretched at least twice as far as 20 ters. But, the Failed Chira’s HP could not be deceiving them. Without a doubt, he was successful!
The Sacred Beasts mbers could not help but wonder what kind of frightening movent skill and reaction ti Izroth possessed to produce such perfect results on his first attempt!
Zeuuut!
"?!" Everyone was startled when soone appeared out of nowhere, not too far away from two of the Sacred Beasts supporters. But, when they realized who it was, they nearly jumped from shock. The one who appeared was Izroth!
However, this should not have been possible! It had not even been a full second since the magical serpents dissolved—how could he have moved more than 40 ters that fast?! Though none of the mbers of Sacred Beasts were prepared for what occurred next.
Just as he did before, Izroth grabbed three fallen players. However, no one anticipated that he would pick up a fourth player!
This caused not three but four magical serpents to form and chase after Izroth! Those from Sacred Beasts almost fainted from shock. There was a limit to confidence where it morphed into arrogance—he couldn’t possibly shake off four magical serpents... Right?
As the mbers of Sacred Beasts anxiously held their breath, not even a few monts later, the projection dispersed in a similar fashion to last ti.
Zeuuut!
But, before their disbelief could settle in, right as the projections faded, Izroth instantly reappeared on the battlefield and carried away yet another four players!
He did not do this once or twice, but a total of four tis. The last ti, he even took five players with him! This left the mbers of Sacred Beasts dumbfounded! Even One Shot Brick lost his concentration for a split mont and almost failed to block the Failed Chira’s strike.
"What terrifying mobility. Is he using a teleportation technique along with so type of high-rank movent skill?" ng Jiang comnted under her breath as she watched the spectacle unfold before her very eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Izroth removed every fallen player out of the Failed Chira’s range!
Woosh!
Izroth erged from the forested area normally for the first ti, and his figure had stopped flickering as he returned to his usual state. Just like that, he had eliminated the largest worry and threat of Sacred Beasts guild!
’That used up quite a bit of Essence. But, that takes care of one major problem.’
