Chapter 823 - Kill Without Mercy! (1/2)
Nie Yan had no intention of letting Okoron turn into ruins!
Adjudicator of God!
Nie Yan suddenly accelerated and shot toward Phantom Princess Ina.
Phantom Princess Ina’s torso was more than 10 meters above the ground. Her lower body was that of an enormous octopus with jet black skin and numerous thick and powerful tentacles.
Nie Yan leaped into the air and pounced toward Phantom Princess Ina’s torso.
Phantom Princess Ina whipped one of her thick and solid tentacles toward Nie Yan. Even in the middle of chanting, she could still freely attack with her tentacles!
Just as Nie Yan was about to be struck by one of the tentacles, he twisted his body in mid-air. At the same time, he brandished his dagger and drew a crimson streak through the air. PUFF! The tentacle was sliced off.
Gravity took over and Nie Yan started falling to the ground. As he made a rapid descent, he delivered a fearsome kick to Phantom Princess Ina’s lower body.
The power behind this kick was quite frightening.
BAM! Phantom Princess Ina staggered back, barely retaining her balance. However, this still didn’t interrupt her chanting.
Nie Yan borrowed the force generated with the kick to spin around and slash Phantom Princess Ina with his dagger before following up with an elbow strike. Afterwards, he kicked off a tentacle which came whipping towards him and propelled himself high enough to deliver another heavy kick to her midsection.
Nie Yan’s kicks had a powerful knockback effect. His relentless assault caused her to stagger several more steps back. Her incantation was interrupted for a short few seconds, but after stabilizing herself, she resumed chanting.
Kicks were effective. Nie Yan definitely couldn’t let Phantom Princess Ina continue chanting. If she got off her Forbidden Magic, Okoron would be finished!
All of Phantom Princess Ina’s tentacles came wrapping towards Nie Yan.
Nie Yan tried to close in on Phantom Princess Ina’s torso several times, only to be repelled by her tentacles.
Even if he couldn’t hit the human portion of her body, Nie Yan still had to stop her from chanting!
Nie Yan entered a state of absolute focus as he nimbly started dodging the tentacles and retaliated with a flurry of attacks. Phantom Assassination! Backbreaker! Lacerate!
With the black flames burning fiercely, everyone but Nie Yan had retreated to a safe distance of at least 300 meters away. They could only see a silhouette dancing around Phantom Princess Ina’s body. Nie Yan’s astonishing speed left them speechless. Was this still within the realm of what a human was capable to achieve!?
The awareness and reaction speed required to achieve such a state was absolutely mind boggling!
1-hit combo, 2-hit combo, 3-hit combo… After being interrupted, Nie Yan would start over again. 1- hit combo, 2-hit combo, 3-hit combo...
As time passed, Nie Yan’s attacks became smoother and smoother. Thanks to the effects of the Unlimited Bladeworks skill, his skills linked together much more easily. His attacks were fluid like water.
30,000 damage, 60,000 damage, 120,000 damage.
Nie Yan’s damage doubled for every next hit in the combo.
Nie Yan finally realized how frightening of a skill Unlimited Bladeworks was. If he pulled off a 5-hit combo or higher, the damage he dealt would be unimaginable.
BAM! Phantom Princess Ina staggered back, her chant coming to a short pause. Before she could even start chanting again, she received another kick and was interrupted again.
In this fashion, Phantom Princess Ina was continuously forced back. Every time she was about to continue chanting her Forbidden Magic, she would be interrupted.
Phantom Princess Ina managed to get out another three syllables. The wind started howling, and clouds of raging black flames blotted out the sky over Okoron. The surrounding temperature heated up.
Nie Yan could tell from the violent magic fluctuations in the air that this spell was powerful enough to obliterate Okoron!
Nie Yan couldn’t help but become anxious. Phantom Princess Ina only needed to chant a few more syllables. If he let her, the consequences would be disastrous!
“Mo-reh-ka…” Phantom Princess Ina had just chanted out another three syllables, when Nie Yan rushed forward and planted his foot deep into her abdomen.
Phantom Princess Ina staggered several steps back as her fleshy lower body violently shrunk back.
Nie Yan’s attacks were fierce beyond compare.
3-hit combo!
A tentacle came whipping towards Nie Yan. If he were to dodge out of the way, the combo would break, and Phantom Princess Ina would take advantage of this opportunity to cast her Forbidden Magic. This was a do-or-die moment! Darkbright Barrier! A dark golden membrane of light wrapped around his body. “HAAAH!” He braved the attack head-on and countered with an elbow strike.
BAM! The barrier instantly shattered into a million shards of light.
−37,777
Nie Yan’s health plummeted by more than half. Thankfully, it wasn’t an instant kill. The Darkbright Barrier had saved him.
