YM778.TV Chapter 131 Fight
Vincent sighed in relief after seeing the quick death of the two leaders. Everything is going according to plan so far.
However, this is just the beginning of the fight.
Now that the element of surprise was lost, they have to fight against the 70 or so Savage Beasts and the Mana Practitioners head-on.
He didn\'t immediately engage in battle as he assessed the situation. In the meantime, he ordered Tara and Rem to act just like normal female knights to kill the Savage Beasts.
The main reason is that he\'s still unaware of many things about the unwritten rules regarding the Celestial Beings. The only thing he was sure about is that there was no problem for them getting involved with the killing of Savage Beasts and if they would kill humans, there should be no evidence left behind.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Magic Knights started their attack against the Savage Beasts using their swords and blades.
As for the Master Magicians, Vincent can see them using Fire Element Mana Arts…
Fireball!
Pyro Blast!
These Tier 3 Mana Arts were commonly used by them but Vincent couldn\'t help but frown…
\'How come it looks weak against Savage Beasts?\'
He was able to see these Mana Arts deal serious damage against the rebels and how it could harm the Barbarians. He thought that a single fireball shot at the head of Black Wing Serpent could quickly kill the beast.
But they could actually endure this Tier 3 Mana Arts!
\'How are they so strong?\' Vincent wanted to know and it seems someone realized this as well.
"Stop using fire element! They must\'ve received some kind of resistance, unlike the Demon-Eyed Goats! Use a different Mana Art!
Yulia gave her command.
Anyway, the Magic Knights didn\'t have this issue since they were relying upon the sharpness of their swords or physical damage, unlike the Magicians that wanted to deal with Elemental Magic Damage.
"Yes! Lady Yulia!"
"Magicians! Focus on dealing with the serpents! Leave the wolves to the Knights!"
Then, those with other elemental mastery used different Elemental Mana Arts while those who only mastered Fire Element used Tier 2 Mana Arts like Mana Arrows.
Vincent then looked at the Mana Arts Practitioners on the rebel\'s side and most of them were actually using a technique to properly control the Savage Beasts in this field battle.
It was at this moment that he finally decided to act.
First, he pulled up a Grimoire out of his chest pocket.
It is the Tome of Skills that has a Living Armor on it. Because he will be fighting will Savage Beasts all over the place, he needed this living armor.
He then flipped the book and got to a page where a Living Armor Mana Art is stored.
He placed his palm on that page and poured his mana on it.
Soon, a black snake started wrapping around his arm and continued to cover his body! This is Vincent\'s first time using it so he was a bit surprised by how convenient this Mana Art was.
It covered his body leaving only half of his face uncovered so he could clearly see with his eyes.
Thud… Thud…
Vincent tapped his body covered with a black thing.
\'Hmm… It\'s not metal.\' Vincent mused after realizing that the sound differ from what he expected.
He then recalled that this tome can only store snake-related Mana Arts so his living armor is probably some kind of snakeskin. Then, the black snakeskin turned hazy as if it was fading away until it became invisible!
\'This is cool~\'
He can still feel the armor being present but it became invisible to the human eye. It was such a marvelous Mana Art and he couldn\'t help but be impressed with the mages of Barbarians.
Anyway, there was no time to inspect this interesting ability as he kept the book in his pocket before charging toward the group of Stonebreaker Wolves who are suppressing the Magic Knights with their number and incredible toughness.
Rooaarr!
The wolves were able to move in formation thanks to the Magicians controlling them from behind. Vincent wanted to target them instead but the roar of the wolves was disrupting his soul sense for some reason.
This is the first time he felt this and he didn\'t like it.
He pulled up his Astral Night Dagger and used his Shrouded Steps to approach an injured wolf. Just by the name of the wolves, one would know that they were tough creatures so cutting them is quite tough if you don\'t know their weakness.
Of course, even if you know their weakness, the wolves would not show it to their enemies as they stayed low on the ground and only showed their hardened back.
Sssaakk~
\'Hmm?\'
Vincent looked in shock as he cut the neck of the wolf so easily. It was as if they weren\'t Stonebreaker Wolves but some normal animals!
\'So this is what a Legendary Weapon feels like! Incredible!\'
Well, this is to be expected considering the number of attributes on it.
[ Critical: 100 ]
[ Pierce: 200 ]
[ Magic Damage: 100 ]
[ Physical Damage: 100 ]
[ Erosion Resistance: 300 ]
[ Sharpness: 50 ]
\'Great! This will be easy! No wonder Tara and Rem looked so relaxed.\' Vincent thought as he decided to help the Magic Knights kill the wolves as quickly as possible.
Using his Shrouded Steps, he moved like a ghost and mutilated any Savage Beasts that comes in his way!
It eased the pressure on the Magic Knights as they changed their targets to Black Wing Serpents who seemed to be quite good at enduring elemental attacks.
"I guess we\'ll need to get this over with…" Vincent muttered as he felt that if the Magic Knights really charged forward and fight head-on against the rebels, there would just be more casualties.
With that in mind, he pulled out his cane and activated its only Skill.
"Ensnare!"
Numerous beasts were suddenly wrapped by the thorny iron veins as the people from the Zemin Clan looked in surprise…
However, they were only momentarily stunned as they quickly acted as soon as they realized that they weren\'t affected by the ability just now.
"Kill! Pierce their eyes!"
"Haaa!"
They used this opportunity to eliminate the beasts immediately as Vincent headed toward the Master Magicians.
He\'s not some kind of battle maniac, he just wanted to become strong and gain more experience in combat that would at least allow him to protect himself or escape a Celestial Being.
It must be remembered that Raizen, an Aura Knight, was able to escape from a Celestial Being even though he was already old at that time. Raizen even hinted that he was able to suppress a Celestial Being when he was younger!
However, Vincent was completely incapable of landing a strike or even escaping from one Celestial Being!
He has to do something about this and combat experience is one thing that he could think of to improve!
Vincent gritted his teeth as he approach the enemy Magic Knight who was wearing tough-looking armor.
During the chaos, Vincent managed to find this person who seemed to be the strongest in close combat within the ranks of the rebels.
"Die, you brat!" The man shouted in disdain after seeing Vincent come close to him.
Well, he didn\'t see the latter kill those many beasts so he doesn\'t feel threatened at his arrival.
He swung his heavy blade filled with a sharp wave of mana to cut Vincent in half!
Whom~
Vincent was surprised by the amount of mana this person exerted on his blade… It was a layered wave of mana and just getting close to his blade seemed to pressure his body and slow down his movement!
As expected, this large man is indeed the strongest here.
\'Mana Drain!\' Vincent activated the improved Tier 1 Mana Arts and as expected, the pressure on him lessened a lot.
With the natural strength of his physique, he was able to easily regain control of his movement and parried the man\'s overhead strike…
Bam!
This time, Vincent\'s dagger did not slice through the blade but it managed to chip off a chunk of it.
"Y-you! You damaged my blade! I was going easy on you! Your life is mine!" The man was angered after seeing his blade damaged by his dagger.
This time, the man took the battle seriously as his blade vibrated and pushed off Vincent. Before he could recover, his Soul Sense warned him about the incoming threat…
With a jump to the side, he avoided the man\'s blade… No, the man did not move from his spot at all. What came to slice him was just some form of mana or perhaps wind blade!
***
While this is all happening, Lesley just pulled out her sword that had pierced one of the rebels.
She has been monitoring Tara, Rem, and Vincent all this time.
"Those three are too impressive… I wonder where they learned their techniques…" Lesley tightened her grip on her sword as she saw how Tara could cut anyone who was approaching her.
She seemed quite lazy in her movements but it\'s very effective. Rem, on the other hand, appears like a normal warrior with her current movements.
If she didn\'t see her fight against a Celestial Being, she would not suspect her at all.
Finally, her eyes landed on Vincent and saw a magnificent sight.
She already knows that this guy has mysterious weapons with him but since it could even cut through someone\'s weapons, it must be a Pseudo-Legendary Weapon after all!
