The Soul System in the Apocalypse
Chapter 153: Invincibility?

Chapter 153: Invincibility?

What happened next completely dumbfounded everyone that was around. The collapsing arrow, the very same arrow Diana had shot the moment that she arrived here, managed to hit the back of the scorpion.

But the result was completely different from what they had expected. The moment that the arrow touched the back of the scorpion, it was as if ice had just met with a hot surface.

The arrow that was created from Diana’s energy melted. There was not even an impact of collision. Instead, it was as if Diana had just thrown a piece of rubber against a hard surface.

Although Diana was surprised that her attack did not work, that did not imply that she was going to completely stay there, frozen. Instead, knowing that she was not capable of matching the scorpion in terms of physical attacks, she tried to make sure that there was a distance between the two of them.

And as she moved, Olivia attacked as well. This time, she did not focus on trying to make the ice prison strong, instead, all that she wanted was to ensure that the scorpion was trapped. After it was trapped, that was when she was planning to intensify the amount of energy that she was using.

Olivia had already estimated the trajectory of the movements of the scorpion. Since it was targeting Diana, and it was completely ignoring the attacks that were launched towards it, it became easy for Olivia to trap it.

Olivia was once again dumbfounded when she realized that, although it was true that the ice prison managed to materialize and lock the scorpion inside, the scorpion just went through the wall of ice as if it did not exist.

As it moved out, a huge wall that had taken the shape of the scorpions frame was left behind. It was obvious that the scorpion had just melted the ice in that part. Well, that was the ice that had touched its body.

It seemed that the red aura that was surrounding the scorpion had an effect of neutralizing the attacks that were launched towards it.

It was also during this moment that Olivia finally understood why the bear was holding a lower position as compared to the scorpion. Monsters mostly respected strength. And since this scorpion was stronger than the bear, although not physically, but possessed incredible combat capabilities, the bear had no choice but to take a lower position.

Of course, Olivia did not stop simply because she knew that the attacks that had been launched on the scorpion previously were useless. Instead, a blizzard suddenly blew towards the Scorpion.

Diana on the other hand continuously launched a barrage of arrows towards the scorpion that was rushing towards her. Since she was an archer, she was required to have swift and deft movements.

So, although the Scorpion was fast, it was not capable of matching Diana’s speed. It was just that, Diana knew that her stamina was not going to hold on if she continuously moved at such an incredible speed for a long time.

That implied that, in just a few minutes, she was no longer going to be capable of moving at such an incredible speed. So, they had to deal with this scorpion before that time elapsed.

But still, there was something that was making her feel a little helpless. That was the fact that, all the attacks that they were using on the scorpion were rendered useless when they touched the Scorpion.

Even the blizzard that was capable of freezing and ordinary bronze rank monster was completely useless in the face of the scorpion. To the Scorpion, the blizzard was no different from a breeze that was containing some cold energy.

Olivia could even detect that the cold energy that was present inside the blizzard was not able to penetrate into the body of the scorpion.

Olivia began wondering just what kind of skill this scorpion possessed. After all, when the scorpion utilized this skill, it had become invincible. It did not matter if it was an elemental attack or a physical attack, none of them worked.

Through cooperation with Diana, she was able to direct the trajectory over the scorpion towards Adam. Since she was behind Adam, the Scorpion had to go through Adam before it reached her.

As for why it was targeting her only, she did not know. Still, she was getting frustrated. After all, Henry had just woken up, and she was not willing to cause him trouble. Anyway, what she wanted was to make sure that she dealt with this scorpion before Henry came out.

At the end of the day, just this scorpion giving them a lot of trouble implied that, the leader of the monsters was even more monstrous than the scorpion. If they were not capable of handling the scorpion, then, it was going to be a lot difficult to deal with the leader.

When Adam saw that the scorpion was about to crush into him, as if it did not see him, he took his fighting stance. At the same time, he tightened his grip around the handle of the battle axe.

A red aura suddenly began emerging from his body. Adam had realized that it was going to be difficult to deal with this scorpion when it was surrounded by the red aura. So, he decided to go all out.

By entering his berserk mode, his strength increased explosively. It was just that, when he entered the berserk mode, he was not able to think many things clearly.

Swoosh!

When Adam swung the battle axe, the sound of the air being torn apart could be heard. And at this time, the muscles beneath the armor that Adam was putting on had completely bulged.

Had the armor not been advanced and was capable of accommodating him easily no matter the size, it would have actually been broken by him, rather than the own attack.

Veins appeared along his neckline, and even the veins at the back of his hands bulged. It was obvious that at this moment, Adam had gone all out, not holding back even a little.

Adam was also depending on his increased physical strength. So, he believe that with all his cards out, together with the skill that he was using, reckless slash that was capable of dealing 200% damage, he would be capable of dealing with the scorpion.

Bang!

This time, unlike the previous times where every attack that landed on the scorpion did no damage, there was a loud sound of collision ringing in the air the moment that Adam’s axe landed on the pincers of the scorpion that were about to swat him away.

Gah!

Adam grunted. In the next moment, his body flew backwards by a few tens of meters. And as he landed heavily onto the ground, Adam passed out.

The battle axe that he always held in his hands fell beside him. The ground beneath him was crushed as his body sank by a few centimeters into the ground.

The Scorpion completely ignored Adam. Instead, it had focused on Diana, and it did not seem that it had any intention of letting her go. Moreover, although Adam’s attack had landed on the scorpion, there was no damage that had been done to it at all.

Though, Olivia and Diana were able to tell that the red aura that was surrounding the scorpion had dimmed down as compared to a few seconds ago before it clashed with Adam.

Olivia had not stopped attacking. Instead, she utilized yet another skill, ice beam. But, no matter how many skills she launched towards the scorpion, none of them had an effect on it.

Olivia then realized something. The scorpion was still heading towards Diana. But, it was not that far from Adam. And from the trajectory of its movements, it was clear that it was going to step on Adam.

With the weight that it possessed, if it stepped on Adam’s head, then, they were not sure if Adam would be capable of surviving that.

Diana had also realized this. So, she immediately changed the location that she was in. Since the scorpion was targeting her, then, she believed that if she moved to another direction, then, the Scorpion was going to change the direction as well.

But, although Diana had managed to move, the scorpion did not change its trajectory at all. Instead, it continued to move forward. Moreover, it was only during this moment that Olivia and Diana suddenly realized that, the scorpion seemed to be targeting Adam.

Olivia wasted no time as she rushed forward. She was not that far from where Adam’s body had landed. It was just that, the speed that the Scorpion was approaching with was also high.

So, although she had managed to reach Adam first, the scorpion was attacking with its tail. Since it had already changed the target, rather than just swatting away the people in front of it, it was attacking with the intention to kill.

Without hesitation, Olivia activated the teleportation skill. Although she did not know if by utilizing the teleportation skill, she was capable of moving around with another person, nonetheless, she tried.

Bang! Crumble!

The tail of the scorpion landed onto the ground where Olivia and Adam had been not long ago. The ground crumbled under the pressure of the tail attack. Additionally, the ground around the tail had also began melting.

Olivia who had just appeared 20 m away from the scorpion was already sweating. The sweating was not only due to the pressure that she had been experiencing before, but, she had realized that, to teleport with a person, a large amount of energy was consumed.

From the looks of it, although the skill only had a minute of cool down, it seemed that she was not capable of using it more than three times if she was teleporting with another person. The energy consumption rate could not match with the recovery speed. The consumption was too high.

The intensity of the red eyes of the scorpion increased. This time, it was as if there was a red light that was planning to shoot out of the scorpion’s eyes.

The Scorpion shifted its body and began rushing towards the position that Olivia and Adam had appeared. Olivia sighed. If just the scorpion was this difficult to deal with, then, how difficult was it going to be when it came to dealing with the leader of the monsters? And, that feline creature had not moved an inch from where it was from the start.
