Arnold raised his arms to protect himself from the flas, he never believed his hands would be able to stop the flas but his actions were totally based on instinct and reflex. He knew he ssed up. BIG TI. When he saw the sea of flas coming towards him.
Arnold expect he'll get burnt or at the very least, he'll feel so of pain, but instead he just felt... warm, as if he was sitting next to a fireplace.
'That's weird.' Arnold thought and slowly opened his eyes and witnessed that a transparent and colourless jelly like substance had completely covered his body. This layer of mysterious substance was protecting him, but sadly this wasn't the case for his clothes that got vaporised the mont the flas touched them. Before Arnold could think what was going on, a text appeared on his interface.
___
passive skill : [Devil's Advocate] has been activated.
Your immune to true damage causing abilities.
You're immune to Vritra's [HELLFIRE] attack.
___
"LOOKS LIKE, I'M A LUCKY SON OF A GUN, AFTER ALL!!!" Arnold scread his lungs out and then his eyes fell on his body, "...my clothes..."
Arnold was completely naked in front of the fire breathing Wyvern. Talk about disrespecting your opponent! When the Wyvern finally stopped spewing fire, even it looked confused.
No one would ever be able know why the Wyvern was confused. Maybe it was confused after seeing that Arnold was unscathed from its attack or maybe it was confused after seeing Arnold's own 'baby Wyvern'?
But for whatever reason, the Wyvern was pissed and it was ready to vent its anger out on Arnold. After letting out a high pitched roar, the Wyvern turned around to confront Arnold, who was still surrounded with the jelly-like substance.
___
Vritra¹ is about to use [HELLFIRE] lvl 9.
___
Arnold was once again surrounded in flas but the end result remained the sa. Vritra's hellfire attack was similar to Arnold's arcane flas ability and was simply it's evolved form. Hellfire was superior to arcane flas in every factor, the only problem was that the Wyvern's skill had evolved to beco true to its na - Hellfire, a fire that could devour anything. Essentially it ant that the Hellfire could only cause true damage... sothing Arnold had immunity to.
The Wyvern, no matter how hard it tried, could not cause Arnold any harm using its most lethal and effective skill. Seeing it's attacks fail again and again, the Wyvern finally gave up on using fire attacks and went back to attack Arnold using it's claws and tail. But to the Wyvern's surprise, even though it's attacks were hitting their intended target, Arnold wasn't getting hurt by the attacks at all! It was because...
___
Passive skill : [WILL OF EARTH] has been activated!
The user HP is below 20%.
The user has entered the state for a duration of 20 second.
___
The Wyvern looked at Arnold in confusion while Arnold burst into laughter. He finally figured out why his so of his abilities were still functioning.
Although the system had inford him that all of his abilities had been sealed, in reality only his 'active' abilities had been sealed while his 'passive' abilities were still active and working as usual.
"It's been quite a while since the last ti [Will Of Earth] had activated." Arnold smiled, "Twenty seconds of immunity against the Wyvern's attacks? I'll take it."
Arnold hurriedly grabbed the vindicator and used his ice elental abilities to quickly refill the empty magazine of the gun.
"You had thirty seconds to end ... but you couldn't. Now I have twenty seconds to end you and I'm sure I will." Arnold was still smiling as he pointed the guns towards the Wyvern's tail first, and without wasting a second, barraged it with bullets.
Arnold wasn't sure whether it would cause any decent damage to the Wyvern or not but the results were surprising to say the least as not only the bullets shot out of his guns managed to penetrate through the Wyvern's skin but also managed to trigger various passive of his gunslinger subclass.
___

Target's remaining HP : 20396/25000
___
"Looks like you weren't anything special after all..." Arnold didn't know why but he was a little bit disappointed by the results, he had only fired 10 bullets and not only the Wyvern's tail got severed, it also lost about a fifth of its health!
The Wyvern that was just monts away from killing him, turned out to be pretty weak and yet Arnold was having such a hard ti trying to stay alive from the Wyvern's attacks in the first place! Arnold was now pissed at his own 'weakness', wondering if he was actually nothing without his weapon and spells?
The Wyvern was clearly in pain, since it's body was huge, none of the bullets missed their mark. The Wyvern started smashing his paws left and right but it had no effect on Arnold who kept shooting at the lesser dragon, and each of the bullets triggered two if not more passive effects but every sixth bullet that hit the Wyvern was incredibly more painful.
It was because, every sixth bullet that escaped Arnold's weapon had a special effect.
___
• [ STATIC RAGE ] : (Passive ability) After successfully inflicting damage for 5 tis in a row, the sixth attack would deal 35% of physical attack as additional true damage.
___
"It's over for you." Arnold mumbled as the Wyvern finally succumbed to the innurable wounds on its body.
___
You've killed a cosmic being.
EXP : 10000
First rank C Cosmic being killed :
EXP : 12000
First Wyvern killed.
EXP : 8000
___
Although the experience he got was quite huge, his eyes were fixed at one thing, "That Wyvern was a rank C being?"
