Conquer - Chapter 245

“Where did these monsters come from…” I thought we killed all of the monsters in the vicinity. But these monsters just came out of nowhere.

And their statuses… They’re all level one hundred and above. Enough to kill us all here if we ever suffer an attack from them.

“This feels… familiar.” Herold then said.

A basilisk stared at us and we just stared right back at him at him which instantly caused it to flee to the backlines.

“Mind control monsters… they aren’t effective on you two right?” Zeraph then said.

“I don’t think so. I replied. Well, either way, I don’t really want Izgoy to be destroyed. Range Increase, Skill Range Increase, Reach Increase.” I casted several skill range increase on myself to widen everything. “Entity Filtering, Demon King’s Domain.” I only teleported the hostile enemies myself and others in my party so that the people in Izgoy won’t be dragged here.

We were then transported into another place wherein darkness seemed to stretched for forever. But in this very plains place, standing here should be a problem. “Hell’s Mimicry.” It changes the surface of the demon king’s domain into the fiery pits of hell. Its just a mimicry so the real hell won’t be damaged.

This way, we could have cliffs and higher vantage points so that we won’t get blasted with their spells on the ground.

“Hmm?” I then noticed an alert on my screen. Two members suddenly dropped their healths below 40%. Which was odd. I looked around trying to see what was going on and I saw Rize fighting two enemies there with… other two people on the ground? “I’ll be going there. Don’t ask me why.” I immediately left the scene and went with Rize.

A large killing intent was felt and I instantly changed into demon form with my Demon Sword Acabar out.

I blocked his attack. He was fast, about equal to me. “Sprint. Lightning Body.” He was running as he was attacking. Passing through me with a lunging attack and immediately running away.

It came from everywhere. From my left, right and from above and below. He can phase through anything and instantly go back. I needed to stop his assault or I’ll be a sitting duck with Rize here. “Barrier, Elemental Transfusion, Lightning Blast!” A barrier coated in lightning, should be enough to keep him at bay.

It sends lightning to anyone who dares to attack it or go near.

“Rize, what’s going on here?” I asked her.

“That woman named Lavenzla, it seems that she’s a mage, but that man that was attacking you earlier is named Arakarn, he’s the one who… took something from Yurid.” Rize replied.

“Where are they?”

She hesitated to point it, “There.”

Damn… seems like they’ve got roughed up. But something was weird… Neco’s situation is just him being starved and dehydration and other else. It looks like there isn’t much physical attacks. So who did this… that mage?

And Yurid… I’m not worried since she’s a weapon so she doesn’t exactly, die permanently, we can just ask Zeta to repair her for us. Well, considering if he knows it. But her insides are hollow and I’m guessing that there should be a core to supply her.

“Mana Transfusion.” I tried giving her mana but nothing seems to work.

Either way, they really need to get out of here. “Banish.” A skill that allows to kick people out of my domain if they aren’t allowed to fight or can’t fight.

I sent them outside so they’d be allow to be saved if people from the Izgoy notices it.

“Boots of the Trickster.” I equipped this to further increase my speed.

I was about to take a step forward but then,

“Frost Pain.” Lavenzla, the woman then planted my feet on the ground with her frost magic.

Arakarn instantly got up to me and I was about to wave my sword.

“Disarm!” My weapon suddenly got dropped onto the ground by her spell.

I couldn’t block Arakarn’s heavy blows.

I took on his blows until the sword returned to me. “Hellfire’s Chakram!” I melted off the frost spell that was casted on me and the chakram around me hit Arakarn away from me.

Using Triple Synergy I conjured a wind spell in my hand. “Wind Rupture.” If its just wind, it usually just sends out random wind everywhere and then sucks them near to me. But if applied with other elements… Dark and light…

The single orb of wind in my hand were suddenly changed into a roaring fire of dark, light and wind magic. It then send out waves of different elements.

Arakarn could barely react seeing how fast it was sending out waves earlier. A wave hit him and suddenly, he disappeared for a moment.

And then reappeared in front of me.

Due to panic, since I didn’t expect that, I swung my sword which only knocked him away. But another wave of my spell hit him and he disappeared again. And reappeared in front of him.

I was just confused if this is the effect of Triple Synergy and wind rupture.

“Skill Details.”

[Wind Rupture]

[!!!Triple Synergy!!!] Light, Dark, Wind

[This skill, releases waves of magic everywhere. Once hit with the wave, the Dark and Light triple synergy activates. It briefly banishes the player into nothingness. The wind magic then places the enemy in front of the caster.]

This is a pretty dangerous skill, I’m a mage myself but I don’t want any enemies getting close to me. I stopped the casting and for my final attack, I stabbed him right in the chest.

It easily pierced through his chest. I kicked him off and aimed for the other one named Lavenzla.

“What magic was that? This lady wants to know.” Lavenzla began to run away as I was getting close to her.

“Million Shot!” I threw my weapon with all my might at her.

“Perfect Barrier!” She then summoned a barrier that was the same with Yurid’s. Its impossible to get through that.

“Ignore Requirement! Teleport!” I ignored the requirements of the teleport and allowed The Demon Sword Acabar, to teleport to pass through the shield.

“Morph!” She then instantly morphed into… a fairy? Small, and brimming with light as she flies away from the scene.

The sword returned back to me, I aimed at Lavenzla, “Demon’s Uprising!” A small orb of fire manifested and a beam of laser came out of it.

Lavenzla barely dodged my shot and I then felt something behind me. I looked back and saw Arakarn’s dagger penetrating my skin.

I moved forward to try and escape him but suddenly, I felt sluggish, but it isn’t hindering me that much. I was also taking damage but its very little.

I kicked him away and backed off and checked my status. Paralyze, Bleeding and Slowness debuffs were applied on me.

But what I’m curious about is how’s he alive. But either way, he should be dropping dead by now. Just holding on to his life. I don’t really care about him that much.

Now… where is Lavenzla… I looked around but Arakarn snuck up behind me again and stabbed my back. This time, I’m really ending it.

I grabbed his head and sliced it of and threw it away. He’s just annoying at this point. And I’m not one to let my enemies suffer.

I was about to fly away to find wherever Lavenzla is but I just felt a sudden grip in my leg. It was Arakarn’s. I kicked it off but then, black aura came out of his decapitated neck and slowly crawled towards its head.

Once it connected, it then reattached to his neck and he instantly stood up like nothing happened.

“What?”

I was confused… very confused. I didn’t know what was going on. The giant wound that should be on his chest should be there but now… its gone. Like nothing happened.

Did he just… come back from the dead multiple times with no cooldowns in between?

What the hell? That’s… impossible. That should be impossible. In the first place, resurrection should be impossible… How do I deal with this.

It was problematic dealing with him or that woman right now. I grabbed Rize and ran away. I’ll let him deal with my own army. “Rift Open.” I then spawned in a horde of demons his way.

Just around ten thousand so that my army won’t thin out. I doubt they can kill him but he’s immortal or something… I really need to understand how he just did that.

The power to control life and death… I thought only the gods are allowed to do or use that power. But apparently… not.

“Zieglind… this is trouble.” Herold suddenly contacted me.

“What is it?” I asked as I was running away from those two.

“Those monsters… the reason why those monsters felt familiar.”

“What is it?”

“They’re from Tartarus. All of them.”

“…WHAT!?”
