Chapter 370: Chapter 370 - Emberclaw Scaldrax
Broken knew he was facing more enemies than before, and he also knew he had to end this quickly. Among them, two stood out with the highest levels: the new leader at level 210 and the young master at level 215. Yet, even they didn't seem particularly threatening to him. The rest of the guards were scattered between levels 200 and 210.
[Summon the Guardian (Active Skill)]
Broken tossed the Moonvine Knuckles into the air. Immediately, vines and branches spiraled and expanded, intertwining and crashing down to the ground, forming the figure of a Dendro warrior. The warrior now wielded the knuckles, each hand equipped with formidable blades.
[Awaken the Nature Goddess (Active Skill)]
A burst of green energy surged from the Queen Gaia's Fate Ring, swiftly coalescing into the ethereal, glowing form of Gaia, the Nature Goddess, her presence illuminating the night. [Nature Conjuring (Active Skill)]
Broken didn't stop there. He summoned every Gaia beast he could to the battlefield, filling the area with his powerful allies.
Any summons left? He switched to the Wavebreaker Spear and prepared to unleash every area-of-effect skill in his arsenal.
[Ocean's Wrath (Active Skill)]
[Sea of Storms (Active Skill)]
[Boar's Flood (Active Skill)]
Even as the battlefield was still shrouded in dust and debris from the previous attacks, Broken unleashed a new wave of destruction with his skills.
[Water Domain (Conditional Active Skill)]
He activated his Domain skill, instantly creating a massive water dome around him.
Through the swirling dust and flying debris, the young master emerged, sword in hand, charging straight at him, ready to face the main antagonist of this chaotic night.
"You've really made me furious!" the young master shouted.
"That should be my line!" Broken countered, spinning the spear and meeting the young master's attack head-on.
The demon charged into the Water Domain, only to feel his movements slow drastically. Shocked, he quickly raised his sword to block as Broken's spear came crashing down toward him.
[Spiral Pierce (Conditional Passive Skill) Lv. 2]
"Damn, you think slowing my movement speed will give you the upper hand?" the demon snarled.
Broken responded with only a faint smile. Their weapons clashed with a resounding impact, the demon slashing forward with a swift strike. Broken effortlessly blocked the attack, using the force of the clash to send the demon skidding backward.
[Spear Guard (Conditional Passive Skill) Lv. 2]
The demon regained his footing and immediately lunged forward, attacking with rapid, precise strikes. Broken met each swing with either a calculated block or a quick counter strike. The demon's swordsmanship was impressive-despite the slowed movement, he maintained a strong stance, his footing solid and his blade moving with deadly precision.
"I never thought I'd meet someone who could actually get my blood pumping in a fight like this," the demon said.
"Don't worry," Broken replied, "I'll make this quick."
"No," the demon sneered, "it'll be my blade that puts an end to you."
The fight was intense, a blur of slashing swords and thrusting spears. The demon's technique was sharp, each strike aimed with deadly intent, but Broken's spear danced in response, parrying blows with accuracy.
When the demon aimed a powerful overhead slash, Broken blocked it with the shaft of his spear, deflecting the attack to the side, then quickly spun and delivered a retaliatory strike aimed at the demon's midsection.
The demon, despite his slowed movement, stood his ground, pivoting skillfully to avoid the full impact of Broken's thrusts. His sword cut through the water-logged air with impressive speed, narrowly missing Broken as he ducked and sidestepped the flurry of attacks.
Yet, the domain's effects were taking their toll on the demon. Each movement, each step, required more effort and more energy. Broken could see the strain beginning to show, the slight hesitation in the demon's attacks, the subtle weakening of his defense.
While Broken knew his summons were occupied dealing with the other demons, he realized he had to end this quickly before they were overrun and needed his help. At least the demon leader had a higher level than the others, with a combat potential far greater than the normal guards.
Without hesitation, he activated his Dash skill, propelling himself to the demon's side, aiming to thrust his spear directly at the demon's neck. But as Broken moved in for the kill, the demon's lips curled into a thin, mocking smile.
"Not yet," he said.
In an instant, a fiery explosion erupted around the demon, the force of the blast pushing Broken back.
He skidded across the ground, his eyes widening in shock as a pair of blazing wings emerged from the demon's back.
What is that? Broken thought, his mind racing as the fiery wings flared to life, their intense heat distorting the air around them. The wings beat rapidly, and before he could react, the demon launched himself into the air, moving with unnatural speed. In a flash, the demon was behind him, descending with terrifying precision.
The demon's sword ignited into a massive blaze, and with a powerful swing, he unleashed a devastating slash. The fiery blade cut through the air, its sheer force sending Broken flying across the battlefield. He crashed hard into the ground, the impact creating a deep crater as flames licked at his armor.
But his health quickly regenerated, and Broken stood up, undeterred. This time, he switched his helmet and weapon, equipping the Mask of Scorched Fury and The Scorchslayer. Flames erupted around his head and sword, burning fiercely in the midst of the battle.
The demon's smirk widened as he watched the transformation, then erupted into laughter. "Ha ha ha! When I deliberately set out to find you, I never thought you'd hand yourself over so easily. This just makes my job that much simpler!"
"I invite you to witness the true power of the sword your own people gave me," Broken taunted. "It's incredible, and I'll show you just how powerful it is-when it slices your head
clean off."
"You've really messed with the wrong person. I'll show you just how fatal your mistake is!"
"No, this isn't a mistake-it's an opportunity. I'm going to take everything you have, including those awesome fiery wings of yours."
The demon beat his fiery wings, propelling himself toward Broken with incredible speed. But Broken was ready, eager to test his new Legendary-grade sword.
As the demon closed in, prepared to strike, Broken's lips curled into a knowing smile.
[Blaze Nova (Active Skill)]
Suddenly, a burst of fire exploded from his sword, radiating in all directions. The fiery shockwave slammed into the demon, sending him flying backward. In the aftermath, a massive ring of fire ignited around Broken, crackling with intense heat. Not wasting a second,
Broken seized the momentum.
[Wrath of the Infernal King (Active Skill)]
With swift precision, Broken slashed his sword through the air six times, each stroke sending
a crescent wave of blazing fire hurtling toward the airborne demon. The fiery crescents tore through the air, crashing into the demon repeatedly, each impact pushing him further back and leaving scorch marks across his armor as he struggled to regain control.
The demon, battered and bleeding, dashed through the air once more. As he charged toward Broken again, it only made it easier for Broken to strike back. What a foolish move!
[Charged Attack (Active Skill) Lv. 3]
Broken darted forward, closing the distance between them in an instant. As he reached the demon, his sword crackled with energy, charging up for a powerful strike.
[Doomfire Slash (Active Skill)]
With a burst of speed, Broken unleashed a devastating slash with his sword, the blade leaving
a trail of fire in its wake. The fiery arc cleaved through the demon's body, splitting him with a force so intense it seemed to tear the very air around him.
[Blade Dance (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
[Quick Strike (Active Skill) Lv. 3]
Without hesitation, Broken followed up with a rapid, precise slash aimed directly at the
demon's neck. The speed of the attack was blinding, and before the demon could react, his head was severed cleanly from his body.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The entire sequence of attacks happened so fast that the demon had no time to counter. As his
lifeless body crumpled to the ground, his head rolled away, the flames around him flickering out. Broken stood victorious, the Scorchslayer still blazing in his hand, the battle over in a
flash.
