Chapter 768. Ergency Rescue
The recall plate in front of Red Death exploded with bright light. She had to shield her eyes due to the sudden brightness. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the back of soone familiar.
Jack was now standing in front of Red Death. Killingred's spear that was about to stab Red Death instead stabbed Jack. Damage number 186 appeared on his head.
Jack looked at the spear that was stabbing him and then at the dragoon woman who was holding that spear with a look of surprise. He then turned back and saw Red Death who was wearing a similarly surprised face, then to the players around them.
He had used Inspect while doing it. He saw that Red Death no longer carried Death Associates' guild tag in her description, while all the players here were Death Associates mbers. He could roughly hazard a guess as to what had transpired.
He then looked back at the woman who still had her spear impaling his body. "You stab ?" He asked.
"I… I stab you…," Killingred stamred. She knew who was the one before her. She had joined the previous clashes between her guild against this person.
"Then you don't mind returning the favor, do you?" Storm Breaker appeared in his hand with a swift thrust.
Killingred felt the sudden stab and hurriedly retreated. She suffered 907 damage.
'So high!' Killingred exclaid in her mind. That one simple stab took almost a quarter of her life.
'So low,' Jack thought within. He had tried applying mana manipulation in that stab just now. It didn't work. The damage was just the standard damage without using any skill. He concluded it would still be a long way before he could apply mana manipulation in real combat.
After that one stab, Yellow Death was awakened from his trance. He had no ti to wonder why this demon suddenly appeared here out of nowhere. He sent an order in the party chat, 'Everyone wears your Amulet of Rebirth!' He proceeded to do so himself.
He sent the next order, 'Concentrate your attacks on Red Death. No need to deal with him! We disperse once we kill Red!"
Yellow Death knew they had no chance of winning with the numbers they had at the mont, but he was unwilling to go back with failure. No matter what happens, at least they should kill Red Death.
Jack activated Dragon Eye. With his perception of ti slowed, he cast one spell after another. He first cast Magic Wall, protecting Red Death from all the attacks from one side. He then cast Barrier and put himself on Red Death's other side, using his body as a shield. Then he cast Tracing Beams, Mana Beam, and Arcane Turbulence at the enemies' range players, causing them disruptions. All the spells were cast in the span of a few seconds. His casting was already fast due to his multi-runes casting. Combined with the ti warp perception of his Dragon Eye skill, it was as if multiple archmages were casting the spells at the sa ti.
With his body still protecting Red Death, Jack sent her a party invite as well as gave her a bottle of Grace of Tranquility Potion.
Red Death didn't bother checking the bottle using Inspect. She also didn't waste ti asking Jack how he was able to appear here at this exact mont. She believed Jack ant her no harm and she knew she had no luxury of ti. So, she accepted the invite. She took the bottle and downed the content imdiately.
Her HP and stamina were fully refilled. Not only that, she heard the notification that she had received attributes, defense, and recovery buffs, as well as being immune to all ntal status effects for twenty long minutes.
She looked at Jack with astonishnt. Jack simply grinned back. Jack could have asked Peniel to heal Red Death, but he wanted her to have the buffs for extra protection. Jack said to her, "Leave everything to ." Then to Peniel, he said, "Stay with her."
Jack turned back to the crowd. He summoned his wolves, who circled Red Death in a protective formation. He then summoned Therras and his spirit weapon. He could have decimated the crowd here in an instant using his Lightning God Barrage, but he wanted to test his upgraded pets and spirit weapon against these players.
Therras didn't waste ti, it unleashed Autocratic Roar once it appeared, damaging and causing multiple negative status effects to all the enemies in the vicinity.
"Supersonic mode," Jack gave the order. Jack was rather happy with this opportunity. He had been itching to see how Therras' new ability perford.
Upon receiving the command, Therras activated its armor supersonic mode. The jetpack on its back truly was a jetpack. The back of it was an afterburner, a long tailpipe fire shot out of this afterburner. It propelled Therras forward. At the sa ti, the two small wings by the side of the jetpack extended out. The small wings were now two long wings projecting out to Therras' two sides.
No, not wings, Jack thought as he saw Therras pass by the Death Associates mbers. They were blades! Two large blades cut the players as Therras zood past them. With its enhanced speed, Therras just ran around the enemy ranks chaotically. Damage numbers occurred non-stop as Therras continued to ram and bash at anyone it passed by.
The spirit weapon on Jack's other side activated its lee mode since there were enemies nearby. It just dove into the enemies with its two long blades dancing around using the Formless Flowing Sword style. With the fast and consecutive cuts, its chaos damage mowed down the enemy's front line effortlessly.
Jack didn't stay idle. He was interrupted when he was about to read the description of his evolved spell. Now, he decided to just see the effect directly. He cast the Myriad Venomous Vipers.
Death Associates players who were still unsure of what to do, suddenly found the ground below them was shining an eerie green. It took them just a beat to decide to run from that shining ground. However, as they started running, nurous green shadows leaped out of the ground. The shadows' speed was frightening. Before they knew it, they had been wrapped around by very large green ropes.
No, not ropes! They realized. The end of these so-called ropes stared back at them. They were large snakes. The snakes opened their mouths and bit at the ones they had ensnared. The players received damage from the bites as well as suffering from Poison status. They couldn't do anything because the snakes' long bodies were still entangling their bodies. The snakes didn't stop with just one bite. They bit, again and again, causing damage each ti as well as refreshing the Poison status.
When their captives died, they turned to those outside their area. These players had been scared shitless by the scene and put a safe distance away. When they thought they were safe, the snakes opened their mouths and spit. Green liquids shot out and hit those at the distance, they suffered damage and received Poison status as well.
Jack was amazed by his spell's transformation. The spell was not only a crowd control spell now, it was also an offensive spell, both lee and range. The unique-grade seed was indeed not disappointing.
Yellow Death was speechless at such a drastic turn of events. In just a short mont, a large number of casualties had occurred on his team. He turned to Red Death, thinking about stealing a killing shot. But when he saw her HP was back to full, his heart sank.
"I… I think we should flee," said Bigarm, who was beside him.
"No, we should finish our mission and kill that bitch!" Killingred uttered. She was not willing to let go of this opportunity of taking down Red Death. It was a dream co true for her. How could she let it go?
Before Yellow Death could answer, he noticed three flashes of green light. He jumped away instinctively as three wind energies rushed by. He was cut by one of them and suffered huge damage. Bigarm and Killingred were not that aware. All three wind energies sliced their bodies and took out all their HPs. The two fell lifelessly to the ground.
Yellow turned to the source of the green flashes and was terrified when he saw Jack so close. Jack had used Shooting Dash to cover the distance. He then activated Adrenaline Rush and Overlimit before executing Wind Slash.
"This will be the second ti you lose your Amulet of Rebirth because of ," Jack said with a grin.
"Don't you think it will be easy!" Yellow yelled. He frantically called out his Drone and his pet and threw a grenade at Jack.
Jack shot Mana Bullet at the grenade, detonating it mid-flight. His reflexes and accuracy were good enough to perform the feat. When Yellow's elite-grade pet, Nimble Cat, arrived, Jack said, "You are still using this weak pet? Let do you a favor."
Jack's Storm Breaker was still at its Overlimit state. He activated Phantom Blade and used Penta Slash. Five slashes from the real blade and five slashes of the phantom blade took out a large portion of the pet's life. Jack followed up with Devouring Cross, all the while ignoring the small damages caused by Yellow's drone. The Nimble Cat soon turned into dust.
"Now you can focus on finding a better pet," Jack said after the deed. But Yellow was already fleeing from the mont he called his pet out. He was again using the tactic of sacrificing his pet to cover his escape. But unlike the tournant, his pet died for real this ti.
When Yellow thought he had put enough distance, he suddenly found another Jack in front of him.
