Conqueror - Chapter 165

“You bastards… Attacking without warning…” One of the serpent union’s members were in a state of boiling hot rage. Without warning, this man then pulled out his weapons, “Inventory!” Then pulled out gauntlets to wear. Volatile lightning were then flowing throughout his whole body. “Fine. Let’s play unfair. Boys, kill them!” The man called out to the other people the also came out with him.

The man with the black armor opened his inventory and pulled out a gigantic sword. About twice his size. As he planted it on the ground, dark energy was flowing and it corrupted the ground below him. The corruption is the same as the one that was seen on the undead continent before.

The other man with robes pulled out a staff and a book from their inventory. He then casted multiple buffs, “Damage Resistance UP, Dull Pain, Fire Resistance UP, Regeneration!” The glow from his spell surrounded his allies protecting them and healing their wounds to the point wherein as if nothing has happened at them. His skills are to be feared if we’re fighting him against a group.

One of their other member pulled out two lightning daggers. But this one was more concentrated. But as soon as he put the daggers near each other, lightning came striking down from the sky. “Lightning Body! Pain Receptors Disable!” Lightning was then surrounding his whole body but it’s slowly damaging him.

The man in black armor rushed in first and then swung his sword in a horizontal slash. His sword was so gigantic that it reached us when we’re three meters atleast away from him.Me and Herold stepped back but we felt that we stepped on something.

The mage with the staff and book then said, “Proximity Mine!”

An explosion followed but our armor were strong enough to withstand that explosion without taking too much damage.

The lightning daggers user then emerged from the smoke.

“Come, Death Scythe!” I summoned my weapon and blocked his attack. But as soon as I blocked it, a barrage of thunder storm went ahead and came falling down on me. “Lightning Body!” This is the best I could do to minimize the damage since I gain bonus resistance against an element that covers my whole body.

The lightning daggers user then backed off. “You use… Lightning Body too? But without Dull Pain or Pain Receptors Disable you won’t last long in that state. And using Lightning Body while I was attacking you with lightning was a dumb choice.”

“Enough talk. Just come!” I then summoned three more death scythes on the battlefield and then threw them all at the lightning daggers user but he deflected it with ease.

The mage then casted, “Binding Light!”

Root like vines came to surround my feet to prevent my movement.

“Finally my time! Get out boys!” The man with the fists then slammed both his fists against each other and lightning spewed out everywhere.

I looked at Herold, “Hey, you aren’t really going to help me?”

“I thought you got this by the way things are going.” Herold replied.

“Well, is it now?”

“Alright then. Dispel!” Herold made his Windtalker disappear. “Come, Brightburn!” His old sword that he used against me that manages to cut through mana itself. That blade is far more powerful than my Bloodlust.

“I’m gonna get serious now too. Dispel!” I took off the Gazer Form and my Death Scythes. “Devil’s Advocate!” Dark clouds formed above and a dark red lightning struck my whole body. As the bright light disappeared, my whole body was then covered in a beautiful black colored armor with red lining in it. I then simply walked off the Binding Light the mage has casted on me.

“W- what!?” The mage was extremely confused.

I ran into them and targeted the mage, “Come, Bloodlust!” Black lightning struck my hands and summoned both of my weapons. I then performed a giant overhead swing which was immediately blocked by the lightning dagger user.

Lightning then came flowing through my weapon and through my whole body but the damage has been greatly reduced to the point that I don’t have to worry about it.

Herold came rushing to my aid and used his Brightburn to attack the man’s arm. But the man simply let go of the block he performed on me and moved his focus on Herold.

He used his twin daggers to block Herold’s sword but instead, his whole body suddenly felt incredibly weak.

His knees faltered as he fell from the ground. “ARGHHHH!!!” He then writhed in pain as the burns of the Lightning Body finally activated. “My… Buffs…” Even the lightning that was on his daggers disappeared.

“Barrier!” The mage casted to protect the assassin. But nothing appeared. “WHAT!? Barrier! BARRIER! My mana is getting used but the barrier is not casting!”

The other serpent union members were just in shock.

The man with the gauntlets rushed at Herold and started with a right straight.

“Barrier!” Helga’s spell then completely blocked his attack.

Herold looked at the weakened assassin. The assassin was extremely confused as he writhed in pain. Herold then put him off his misery by killing him painlessly.

“NO! Damn it!” The man with the fist weapon shouted. “You! If you didn’t put up that barrier… Damn it! Wrath of Thunder!” The man’s whole armor changed into a lightning based armor. It felt like he was wearing nothing. But we knew as soon as we got near him, that violent and volatile lightning will come to us.

He took one step forward and I didn’t even notice that he was in front of me like instantly.

Herold stepped in and blocked his fists but the man instantly retreated before Herold could cut through the mana.

“Tsk… I don’t care anymore. Everyone! Go full power! We can’t win against them like this.”

“Argh… Fine! This is for Yerm. Mana Solidification, Mana Fortification!” The mage casted. “Mana Freeform! Triplet Magic Combination, Mana Concentration!” The mage’s robes were suddenly lined up with a thin mana protection.

“Mana Search!” But when I activated this skill, all I could see was the violent raging mana in that robe.

The man with the black armor then followed, “Weightless, Maximize Strength, Double Weight.” The man casted two buffs and one debuffs on himself. “Berserker’s Rage!” His form suddenly changed as he held the gigantic sword with his right hand and his stance as if waiting to pounce on his prey. His eyes flickered with red aura.

I rushed in first and targeted the mage. But before I could even take a step, the lightning fist user is instantly infront of me. His speed was too fast for me to follow.

I don’t know how fast he is but all I could think of was to block by raising up my guard like in boxing.

The man then swung a giant hook punch but I was protected by Helga, “Barrier!” Her barrier was powerful enough to block his punch fully. I was shocked. But she’s that strong.

His absolute punch recoiled back on him with Helga’s strong barrier so I took this chance and used a skill, “Twin Blade Form: Hundred Slashes!” Memories flooded my mind with the legendary warrior’s skills and all I had to do was wave my hand with both of the swords as I closed my eyes. And as I opened it, countless wounds appeared on the man’s body. The ground beneath us has the grass completely disappeared.

Ending his suffering, I quickly performed a painless execution on him.

I looked on the side and saw Herold fighting the two of them.

The berserker swordsman, everytime he swung his sword, waves of dark energy came out that was corrupting and inflicting unbearable flame. But Herold is barely hanging on by cutting that in half with his anti-magic sword.

“Conjured Druid’s Heal!” Helga casted on the both of us and my health shot up to maximum healing all of my wounds and Herold’s wounds.

Herold was then mroe confident of going in so he did. He face the absolute speed and strength of the berserker. But Herold was far too strong. He just simply stabbed the berserker’s shoulder and the raging rampage of the enemy disappeared and went back to his previous form.

He was confused.

But Herold simply killed him off with ease.

The mage remaining was absolutely scared. Herold rushed in and stopped in front of him. “Catch this.” Herold threw Brightburn at his enemy.

“What..?” As soon as the mage caught it, his spells were all gone. “WHAT!? MY COMBINED MAGIC!?”

“It absorbs every mana. Too bad you’re my enemy. That skill you just used was good yes. But unfortunately you made something out of mana. You were just simply a bad matchup for me.” Herold boasted.

“No… NO!!!”

“Goodbye Serpent union.” Herold then grabbed the sword back and sliced his head off cleanly. “This is the first of the many bases of the Serpent union. We’ll eradicated these forces.”
