Chapter 314: Chapter 181: Battle of the Same Tier and Level (3)
He drew a Longbow.
In a blur of motion, he loosed a volley of arrows that filled the sky!
「Bow Skill·Meteor Shower」
SWOOSH!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!—
The endless rain of arrows transformed into a barrage of powerful, fiery comets!
They gouged countless deep craters into the floor of the grand hall!
Burning, thundering!
Amidst the ice, blazing firelight erupted as the rain of arrows plowed through the entire hall!
At the same time, a Soul Staff materialized in his hand!
THUD!
He slammed the Soul Staff down.
Suddenly, the corpses all lurched to their feet.
"You’re not the only one who can play with souls."
「Level 3 Soul Mage」
The corpses on the floor no longer belonged to Lu Cang. They had transformed into Undead and now charged madly toward him, intent on the kill!
These Undead, controlled by the Soul Mage, could no longer serve as substitutes for the Death Priest.
"Playing with souls, are we?"
SWISH!
Lu Cang abruptly raised his hand.
The corpses that had been infused with souls and forced to stand all collapsed in unison. Lu Cang had ripped their souls right back out.
"As it happens, I also know a little about controlling souls."
As he raised his hand, his Final Sense once again flared with a warning.
This time, however, Lu Cang didn’t dodge.
The instant the white-haired, red-eyed youth appeared.
「Future Technique·Ice Magic - Life Freeze」
KRAK—
The white-haired, red-eyed youth who had abruptly appeared by his side was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture!
SHATTER!
Yet, in almost the same instant, the ice sculpture was shattered.
But that split-second delay was all Lu Cang needed. His War Spear shot upward, blasting toward the youth’s body!
「Invincible Stream - Sixth Form·Intentional Dragon Charge」
The Battle Intent from his Unyielding Heart soared!
The longer he fought, the more invincible he felt, as if no one could possibly defeat him!
At the same time, his opponent’s speed seemed to continuously slow in his eyes.
’To be honest, though.’
’His opponent’s speed had never seemed completely out of reach.’
’Now that I’ve adapted...’
’My own speed should be about the same as his.’
This strike had definitely made contact with his body.
’I have to figure out how he’s evading my attacks...’ Lu Cang carefully sensed the changes in his opponent’s body.
’Otherwise, just piling on damage, no matter how much, will be pointless.’
’It’s like when I use the Death Exchange Technique to constantly switch between corpses.’
’If the enemy doesn’t deal with the corpses I throw out and only attacks my main body...’
’...they could kill me hundreds of thousands of times and it would be for nothing.’
’But...’
’A Defender’s body really does have high Defense Power.’
’With a strike using only a pure Combat Skill, I can clearly feel that I can’t pierce through.’
’This defense is insane. It’s probably comparable to a Tier Six Nation Destruction Level Demon, isn’t it?’
’And his Professional Level is only Level 3.’
’Tsk...’
’Enemies as tough as turtles are so damn annoying.’
However.
SWISH!
A flash of a sword!
In an instant, that line of sword light sliced through Lu Cang’s neck!
But in the same instant the blade passed through, Lu Cang’s neck healed completely, as if in a flash of light.
「Tier Five Holy Medicine: Blood and Flesh Revival Elixir」
Lu Cang had already taken the pill. He had specially commissioned a Pharmacist to create this medicine for him.
It was a top-grade Tier Five Holy Medicine.
The reason it was Tier Five was because the Pharmacist was only Level 5.
But the ingredients Lu Cang had provided were from a genuine Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demon.
For a time after taking the medicine, his injuries would naturally heal at an incredible speed.
Even a Level 5 Warrior who suffered a wound down to the bone would see their flesh and blood regenerate before their very eyes during combat.
And when a healing effect like that was applied to Lu Cang...
「Divine Level Ten Thousand Battles Absolute Body」
「Ten-thousand-fold injury healing speed. Body and Soul as One. Body Undying, Soul Unbreakable. After death, the physical body will automatically reform and be reborn.」
’Go on, just try and kill me.’
After fighting this guy for so long, Lu Cang was starting to get pissed off.
Though he had been cautious, Lu Cang was by no means without a temper.
The white-haired, red-eyed youth’s slash was completely ineffective!
He was met by four of Lu Cang’s Mage’s Hands grabbing for him!
「Demon Trapping Body Lock」
Simultaneously, over a hundred different types of binding and imprisonment spells were cast instantaneously!
The binding spells wrapped around him, layer after layer!
BOOM!
But in the next instant, the white-haired, red-eyed youth blasted right through Lu Cang’s lockdown.
He now looked slightly disheveled.
Although he hadn’t taken any real damage, he was finding Lu Cang increasingly difficult to deal with.
’He stole two of my Root Magics.’
’One that replicates past attacks.’
’And another that predicts future actions and prepares magic in advance.’
’These two Root Magics are extremely difficult to handle.’
’Especially the future-predicting magic. It lets you prepare any spell in advance, store it in a future point in time, and foresee the enemy’s movements.’
’Then it erupts at that exact moment, with absolutely no warning.’
’It’s practically a guaranteed hit.’
’But the strange thing about this black-haired youth... ’
’He’s unaffected by my Future Technique.’
’Even when I predict his future actions, he somehow manages to dodge.’
’It’s as if his future can’t be predicted accurately at all.’
’No, it’s not that the prediction is inaccurate.’
’It’s more like he’s directly aware that his future self is going to be attacked, and that’s why he dodges.’
’And that other magic, the one that reflects the past, allows him to replicate my strongest attacks over and over again for free.’
This tied his hands, making him reluctant to use his more powerful killing moves.
’If I fail to kill him and he learns the move, it’ll become a weapon turned against me.’
The white-haired, red-eyed youth’s eyes flashed.
He swept his Observer ability over Lu Cang, but suddenly—
SWISH!
For an instant, his vision went black, and he suddenly saw that the entire world was filled with roving eyes!
