Chapter 1257 - Puppet Versus Necromancer (1/2)

Sensing Pabiete appearing behind it, the Zombie immediately turned around and swung its sharp claws. But it was unfortunately too slow.

Pabiete was already at level 43 and remodelling had reinforced his speed. When coupled with the extreme mana reactor exceeding Pabiete’s own limits, even if it couldn’t be used efficiently, Pabiete’s speed reached a terrifying degree. He was at least ten times faster than ordinary puppets at the same level.

Within a second, a level 43 melee puppet could slash ten times while Pabiete could slash over a hundred times, and more than half of the attacks would be effective.

This was complete bullying…

A dazzling crimson light exploded in front of Pabiete as the laser sword already turned into a crimson curtain of light due to the speed at which it was swung. The mana imbued into it made the laser sword’s power reach its pinnacle. A level 42 Zombie simply couldn’t withstand that cutting power.

The arms of the Zombie charging towards Pabiete were cut down into several dozen pieces, followed by its head and its torso. In less than half a second, the Zombie’s torso was cut forty times by the extremely sharp laser sword.

Zombies wouldn’t die even if they were crushed underground or cut in half, yet this Zombie succumbed from Pabiete’s attacks.

Pabiete’s back was exposed to Toursse, the Undead Mage and the Death Knights after killing the Zombie. Even the pale Vampire attacked from the front.

Toursse reacted the fastest. He spat out a dark grey rune which transformed into a skull burning with black flames before charging towards Pabiete’s back.

9th Tier single-target spell, Undead Roar. It could pollute the target’s mana while also doubling as a terrifying soul attack. It was like being hit by over a hundred Fear Shrieks, even a puppet wouldn’t feel great when hit.

One of Pabiete’s arms twisted towards the back, as if his backside was his frontside, his palm faced Toursse’s Undead Roar and a black hole appeared in the center of his palm.

His other hand aimed at the Vampire attacking from the front and his five fingertips transformed into five pitch-black cannons which shot crimson rays of light.

The rays of lights intertwined and formed a large crimson net enveloping the Vampire. Unfortunately, this had no use against the Vampire’s speed. The Vampire kept flickering from side to side as it kept approaching Pabiete.

The Undead Roar hit Pabiete’s palm and disappeared into the black hole in its center. Through the absorption system, the mana of the Undead Roar was torn apart and spread all over Pabiete’s body before it converged into the black substance at the core of the absorption system.

The black substance wasn’t picky about its food at all, so what if it was death mana? It didn’t matter as long as it was mana.

A spell that had all its mana absorbed was nothing more than a joke…

It looked like Pabiete’s body stiffened as he was hit by the Undead Roar, his Firebolts became chaotic and the Vampire took advantage of this opportunity to get closer. The Vampire spat out a mouthful of blood which transformed into a bloody mist shrouding Pabiete’s body.

The mist had powerful corrosive and confusing powers. To an ordinary lifeform, one breath would feel like swallowing several kilograms of hallucinations-inducing drugs.

The Vampire smirked as he saw the mist shroud Pabiete and stopped being cautious. Heaven Puppets also awakened wisdom, and that bloody mist would be effective as long as the target had intelligence.

The Vampire rushed to the front of Pabiete’s body and grabbed Pabiete’s arm with one hand while the other hand pounced towards Pabiete’s chest, intending to dig out Pabiete’s mana reactor.

But something unexpected happened.

Pabiete’s crystal eyes flashed with a mocking light as the quicksilver-like arm grabbed by the Vampire rapidly changed shape and grabbed the Vampire’s arm. Pabiete then opened his mouth and a glaring white light shot towards the Vampire’s head.

The beam of light pierced through the Vampire’s head and hit the isolation barrier, making it fluctuate fiercely. This showed that this power almost exceeded the limits of the barrier.

After exploding the Vampire’s head, the powerful light mana dissolved half of the Vampire’s body like acid. Pabiete casually threw the remains of the Vampire’s corpse to the ground and his arm squirmed, regaining his original appearance.

The Undead Mage’s spells, as well as Toursse’s spells only created ripples on Pabiete’s body. The spells’ mana scattered over his body and was guided to the absorption system, making the absorption system devour these spells.

Attacks on that level couldn’t break through Pabiete’s defenses.

All the spectators were stunned, that didn’t look like a puppet, but a crafty swordsman armed to the teeth.

No, it was more than that, it was more like a cunning swordsman equipped with a mana crystal cannon that could shoot instantly.

Xiuban was thoroughly stunned. Pabiete’s strength had reached an unfathomable realm. He first killed a Heaven Rank Undead in an instant, before cutting a Zombie into pieces in seconds while also calculating what the enemies would do in response and preparing a trap for the Vampire.

And the most fearsome part, was that Pabiete actually had a cannon in his mouth?!

Using one’s battle experience against humanoids when facing Pabiete… No, using any kind of battle experience against Pabiete was no different from offering one’s life

“Merlin, you are really too treacherous, Pabiete took after you…” Enderfa commented after seeing Pabiete deal with three Heaven Rank Undeads within a few seconds. He then looked at Toursse’s twisted face with sympathy.

Now he understood why Pabiete’s body was made with that kind of liquid metal defense. It wasn’t just to fit the defensive ability rune, the most important feature had to be concealment.

Because no one could see through Pabiete’s fighting style. He had a cannon in his mouth, but who knew if he had a canon in his chest or legs?

Now that this idea occupied Toursse’s mind, he cast his Fusion Shield and activated a shield-like True Spirit Magic Tool to rotate around his body.

He only had one Heaven Rank Undead left and he didn’t dare to stay too far away from it as he was afraid of Pabiete instantly killing it.

Subduing a Heaven Rank Undead required a lot of energy and was extremely risky.

Toursse gritted his teeth, his eyes spewing flames. A moment of carelessness resulted in three of his four Heaven Rank subordinates dying. It only took a few seconds, he hadn’t had time to react, as well as didn’t expect that his opponent would be completely unaffected by the Undead Roar.

After looking at Pabiete, he glanced at the onlookers and only saw shock on their faces. Seeing that they weren’t frightened at all, Toursse felt rage rise in his lungs.

Dark grey death runes kept flying out and rapidly covered the entire barrier. As Pabiete landed on the ground, a few pale white bone hands extended out of the ground and grabbed his legs.

Taking advantage of Pabiete’s pause, the Undead Mage and Toursse immediately started casting indiscriminately at Pabiete’s location.

Wraith Convergence, Deathly Possession, Bone Cage, Ghost Corrosion…

A series of spells were thrown at Pabiete’s location and boundless death spells and death aura curled in a several-dozen-meter-wide range, as if countless ghosts were wailing there, celebrating the fact that someone would have the same ending as them.

Toursse and the Undead Mage cast spells for over ten seconds and everything was corroded by the aura of death within those several dozen meters.

But suddenly, Toursse noticed the amazed expressions of the spectators. He turned his head only to discover Pabiete falling from the sky towards the head of the Undead Mage. His laser sword pierced through the Undead Mage’s head while his right hand stabbed into it.
