Chapter 885: Chapter 561: King Meets King_3

The Six-armed Serpent Demon fully exploited the information gap, catching the Necromancer Arms by surprise, wasting one of his precious spell-casting opportunities, and fully utilizing her physical speed advantage to close the distance between them.

As for short-distance teleportation, it wasn’t that the Six-armed Serpent Demon didn’t want to use it, but rather that she couldn’t. This place wasn’t truly part of the Material Plane, but a facsimile created with Negative Energy. It was detached not just from the Material Plane, but also from the Shadow Plane, existing in a gap between the two; without a victor decided between the two parties, not to mention short-distance teleportation, even plane teleportation was impossible.

In other words, this was a fight to the death with no way out for either party, only a path forward to the ultimate victory.

One wrong step and all would be wrong.

The Six-armed Serpent Demon, transformed into a Nightshadow, caught the Necromancer off guard, as he was unaware that Gaven’s forces included a large number of Undead Soldiers. Therefore, the high-level spells he prepared were those he was most skilled at, the Necromancy spells that were most effective against living beings, which were not only ineffective against Nightshadows but also had a healing effect, and the Legendary Nightshadow was immune to spells below the sixth circle.

For a moment, he was almost helpless, the only thing he could do was to cast a Dispel Magic on the Six-armed Serpent Demon, removing spells that enhanced Attributes, such as the Brute Force Spell and Grace Spell, from her.

What remained was to watch in dismay as the Six-armed Serpent Demon, wielding six Serpent Hilt Curved Swords, clashed with the Bone Dragon, with the sound of blades striking bone echoing in his ears.

The Six-armed Serpent Demon, in her Nightshadow Form, adopted a strategy of Heavy Hitting and Heavy Handling; whether it was the attack of the Bone Dragon or the Bone Claw, she disregarded them entirely, pushing her attacks to the extreme.

The extended piercing attacks of the Bone Claw’s claws were but an itch to the Nightshadow Six-armed Serpent Demon, unable to even break her defenses, completely ineffective against the Nightshadow’s 25-point Damage Reduction.

The Bone Dragon Agasha’s claws and the Razor Dragon Wings were relatively more powerful, capable of overcoming the Nightshadow’s Damage Reduction, dealing at least seven or eight points of damage with each strike. The Six-armed Serpent Demon, enveloped in black energy, hoisted those claws and wings together, amassing over thirty points in a single round of attack. Nightshadows were not known for their Hit Points, which made this amount of damage significant; the Six-armed Serpent Demon simply couldn’t withstand four continuous full-round sessions of her attacks.

But after just one round, the Bone Dragon gave in first.

Because the attack of the Six-armed Serpent Demon was even more fierce than his; giving her a full round to attack was enough time for her to return the favor.

He had two claws and wings, while his opponent had six swords, each strike fierce and painful. He also had a certain Damage Reduction, but nowhere near as strong as his opponent’s. One round down, and each of her swords would take away at least a dozen points of Life Force, six swords in total nearly scraping away close to eighty points.

If it weren’t for his transformation by the Necromancer Arms, gaining the special ability of Profane Vigor of the Bone Claws, which allowed his Life Force to far exceed normal Undead, that round of attacks could have cut down half his life. Even so, he couldn’t withstand two full rounds of attack from the Six-armed Serpent Demon.

In the second round, he had to change his tactics, parrying instead of clashing. Even so, it was merely delaying the inevitable defeat. After all, with six arms at her disposal, it was hard to defend thoroughly, and a moment’s carelessness meant two or three sword strikes landing on his body. The opponent’s Speed too exceeded his, constantly circling him, forcing him to endure the onslaught.

His only consolation was that a Necromancer stood behind him, able to channel Negative Energy into his body, healing some of his injuries.

But the problem was, if they could heal, so could the enemy. The priest, who had also transformed into a True Wraith Evil God, was doing the same.

The Necromancer was restrained by the Six-armed Serpent Demon, while on the other side, Gaven was on a killing spree, unleashing all kinds of mayhem with the sound of explosions never ceasing.

Instead of Death Roar, he was using the Gnome Alchemical Firearms he had confiscated from the slavers when they had attacked the Petrified Lizard’s Nest, adding up to quite a substantial number, reaching more than fifty. All were purchased from the West Gate Black Market, each costing up to three thousand Gold Coins.

Their power in naval battles was evident to all. It was only against Gaven’s led Hobgoblin Corps that they found themselves at a disadvantage. If it were a regular army or Pirates, trying to seize a ship against fifty powerful Gnome Alchemical Firearms would be exceptionally difficult; anyone below Transcendent would be pressed down without a chance to raise their head.

Gaven distributed the majority on the spot to the Tesser Sailors led by Kopofiel, enhancing their long-range firepower, while keeping a small portion with himself, planning to consult with professionals to see if he could combine the characteristics of Death Roar with these firearms for modification and replication.

Now, he was pulling them out for use, dealing with Ghosts, Specters, and Shadows. Gaven was taking them down one by one, no quarter given.

Don’t forget, he had the Special Ability of Enemy of the Undead. All his attacks against Undead were Holy Attacks, meaning that any hit would inflict maximum damage. The Gnome Alchemical Firearms, slightly less powerful than Death Roar, had a damage roll of 4D8. Adding all the chaotic bonuses from Gaven’s jobs, the damage broke through forty points.

Most Undead creatures below Transcendent had relatively low Hit Points, especially the Spiritual Bodies.

Even the inherent physical Damage Reduction of fifty percent born by Shadows was useless at this moment.

It wasn’t that Ghosts naturally had this ability, but rather their ability to flicker frequently between the Shadow Plane and the Material Plane, which meant they only had a fifty percent probability of being hit. However, this location was neither the Material Plane nor the Shadow Plane, but a gap between the two. With plane teleportation blocked, there was no flashing back and forth and naturally no passing through.
