Legendary Broken Player - VRMMORPG

Chapter 399: Chapter 399 - It’s a Risky Gamble



And then, the next round of battle to take down Duke Gremory - Vampiric Duchess Demon Lv. 258 was ready to begin!

Without wasting a moment, Broken and the others pressed forward, giving Gremory no time to recover. As soon as Blackthorn materialized, its passive skill immediately spread throughout the room.

[Tendrils of the Abyss (Conditional Passive Skill)]

The golem's presence causes dark, shadowy vines to sprout from the ground around it when enemies are nearby. These vines root and ensnare enemies, significantly reducing their movement speed and attacking them with the shadow vines.

The shadow tendrils worked in perfect synergy with Water Domain, further restricting the movements of both the demon camel and Gremory. The battlefield was now layered with traps, limiting the demon's agility.

"Bringing one or two more won't change anything! It won't!" Gremory's voice boomed, echoing through the room.

"You will soon realize that your efforts are futile!" she sneered. "This new addition? Your levels are far too low. You have no chance against me!"

Despite her taunts, the team's synchronization was clear, and the strategic use of the shadow vines was slowly turning the tide.

[Abyssal Scorpion Tail (Conditional Active Skill)]

The golem activated yet another skill, causing a massive scorpion tail to grow from its back. The already imposing figure of Blackthorn now appeared even more formidable as it loomed large in the room.

With swift precision, the golem swung its massive greatsword, while the newly-formed scorpion tail lashed out, injecting venom into its targets. The combination of heavy physical strikes and poison attacks added a deadly variety to the golem's assault, overwhelming the battlefield.

The demon camel, already slowed by the Tendrils of the Abyss and Water Domain, struggled to withstand the relentless onslaught. Each strike from the golem's greatsword sent shockwaves through the room, while the venomous tail inflicted serious damage, weakening the demon camel further.

Blackthorn's raw power was undeniable, and its impact on the battle was clear-Gremory's forces were steadily being worn down.

[Abyssal Cleave (Active Skill)]

The golem swung its massive greatsword, unleashing a crescent-shaped black energy slash that tore through the air, a rift in reality itself, aimed directly at Gremory.

"It's useless!" Gremory shouted, raising her hands as waves of blood surged to meet the attack. The two forces clashed violently, the impact sending shockwaves through the room as dark energy and crimson blood splattered across the battlefield.

Despite the resistance, the team pressed forward, unrelenting in their assault.

[Name: Blackthorn - Shadowbark Titan]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Tier: 5]Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[Level: 242]

[Strength: 1031 | Agility: 369 | Intelligence: 311 | Constitution: 775 | Stamina: 524]

Blackthorn possessed a massive Strength stat that easily matched the demon camel, and even its raw physical damage, combined with its agility, was enough to shift the tide of the battle. Especially when factoring in its powerful skills.

The golem, sensing the advantage its immense strength gave it, redirected its focus toward the demon camel. With its Abyssal Cleave still resonating through the air, the golem began to engage the camel, its raw physical power perfectly matching the beast's ferocity. The massive strikes from its greatsword, combined with its towering strength, allowed the golem to fight the camel head-on, steadily wearing it down.

"At this point, Broken could probably take on an entire guild by himself," people began to

murmur.

"That's overrated!" Skywarden scoffed. "If that's true, why does he still need help from the other three?"

"That's because Broken is too stupid to fully utilize everything he has!" Melliandra chimed in.

Freya, sitting up front, turned with a smirk. "Isn't that basically admitting that Broken has a lot of powerful assets, Melliandra?"

Kingsley nodded, calm and confident. "Broken will finish this battle. I believe in that."

On the battlefield, Ivana sprinted swiftly, her shield growing in size as she hurled it toward Gremory. The shield struck with force, causing Gremory to stumble back slightly. Before the demon could recover, Ivana shifted positions, more like she did a mini teleport, catching the shield mid-air.

With a graceful spin, she slammed it toward Gremory again. This time, Gremory blocked the blow with a wave of blood, but Marlene quickly appeared from behind, landing a swift, surprise attack.

Gremory darted away, but Charmelyn was waiting, her daggers flashing as she struck repeatedly. Using both of her copies, Charmelyn weaved in and out of sight, confusing

Gremory and making it difficult for the demon to retaliate.

Meanwhile, the shadow tendrils from the floor continued to shoot up, attempting to ensnare Gremory and slow her movements. Although Gremory managed to break free with bursts of speed, the vines constantly harassed her, restricting her mobility.

Broken took advantage of this, charging forward with his spear. He landed a powerful blow that Gremory couldn't fully block, leaving the demon staggered. The tide of the battle had finally shifted, and Gremory was now facing fierce resistance from all sides.

At the same time, Blackthorn, the massive golem, brutally clashed with the demon camel. Their fight was evenly matched, with each blow shaking the battlefield, while Broken's other summons continued to support, attacking whenever the opportunity arose.

The battle had escalated into a massive brawl, with the team effectively overwhelming both Gremory and the demon camel, turning what seemed like an impossible fight into a real contest of strength and strategy.

Ivana continuously hurled her shield into the air, spinning it rapidly before it slammed into Gremory. Immediately after, she teleported to the shield's location, catching it mid-flight and delivering powerful strikes to Gremory.

Each hit was followed by coordinated attacks from the others, making it difficult for the demon to recover. Ivana's relentless assaults were having a significant impact, and for the first time, she was displaying skills no one had seen before.

"I didn't know Ivana could mini-teleport!" someone in the House of Slumdon remarked,

astonished.

"Ivana usually just supports with her shield skills. Maybe she's never had the chance to show this?" another commented.

"But it seems the teleport skill is connected to the shield," Maylock noted. "She can only teleport to wherever the shield is."

"Khi khi khi, everyone's revealing new abilities today. This really is an exciting show to watch," Goldrich added with a chuckle, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

Elincia added, "But, once again, Ivana's full of surprises! Who knows the extent of her

capabilities?"

Jovina laughed. "Hahaha, Broken is seriously surrounded by insanely powerful women. First Princess Alora seems interested in him, and now Ivana-a mere NPC chef with these terrifying

skills."

Toberry swallowed hard at the sight. "At this point, I'm starting to question my own

capabilities in this game."

Jovina grinned. "Yeah, just delete your character and sell your Capsule Device. You're useless,

Toberry."

"Hoah... I know," Toberry sighed.

Everyone watching was on edge as the intense battle unfolded. Ivana's presence had clearly

shifted the momentum, allowing the others to fight more freely. Her support skills were providing crucial protection, allowing the team to go all-out without fear of being overwhelmed. The defensive barrier she created was incredibly strong, even nullifying several attacks that would have otherwise landed.

"Ivana is a beast!" Optimus exclaimed in awe.

"That's not very polite, you know!" Starfall giggled. "She's a cute and kind girl."

Despite the light banter, the audience couldn't help but be amazed by Ivana's contribution to the fight, her defensive skills proving indispensable as the battle raged on.

The relentless combination of attacks from the team had finally cornered Gremory. The once- dominating demon was now struggling, unable to mount any effective counterattacks. Desperately, she tried to flee, but Marlene and Charmelyn, with their speed and mobility, blocked her path at every turn, delivering brutal strikes.

With Gremory trapped, Broken seized the opportunity. He lunged forward, his spear piercing her chest with precision. Gremory screamed in pain as the spear struck, and the magic blood she had been controlling spilled onto the ground, pooling at her feet.

Suddenly, the blood coiled around Broken's spear in an ominous manner. The others rushed toward him, sensing something was wrong.

"You think you've won?" Gremory snarled, her voice filled with rage.

The blood on the ground began to stir, rising into the air and flowing back toward her in a horrifying spectacle. Even the blood from the demon camel was sucked toward Gremory, causing the creature to roar in agony as it was drained. A violent shockwave erupted from Gremory, blasting everyone backward.

The team was thrown across the battlefield, hitting the ground hard. Broken, Marlene, Charmelyn, and Ivana struggled to regain their footing, momentarily disoriented by the powerful blast.

As the last of the blood was absorbed into her, Gremory's form began to transform. Her once pale skin turned a deep, blood-red, her body radiating dark energy. A pair of large, leathery wings emerged from her back, unfurling with a terrifying grace.

Hovering above the ground, her eyes glowed with immense power. She was no longer the human form demon they had been fighting-she had become something far more dangerous. Broken and the others readied themselves in battle positions, eyes locked on Gremory as she revealed her next stage-an ominous transformation they had never seen before. This was her true power, and they knew they couldn't afford to lose here. Ivana's life was at stake, and if they fell again, it would take too long to log back in. This wasn't just another battle-they had

to win.

In the House of Slumdon, everyone was tense, glued to the screen as the situation escalated. "Did you predict this might happen?" Elincia asked Maylock.

Maylock nodded slowly. "It's a risky gamble, but it seems we underestimated this demon." "Ivana is in real danger!" Starfall exclaimed, her worry evident as she watched the unfolding

battle.
