Chapter 220: Resistance, Perseverance
Bang!
Stomping onto the ground, he launched himself towards Sarah, completely ignoring Adam and Olivia. The murderous intent around him suddenly erupted, reaching a terrifying level.
Olivia immediately noticed this. Although she did not understand what it was that Sarah was doing, but, she knew that whatever Sarah was doing was something that had already attracted the attention of Smith.
And before this, Sarah had already asked her to protect her. That implied that, currently, Sarah was not paying much attention to what was going on in her surroundings.
Olivia was not ready to let her only friend perish right now. So, the moment that Smith began charging towards Sarah, she acted immediately. Additionally, it was not as if she was that far away from Sarah considering that she was attacking from a distance.
Without hesitation, she immediately began launching several ice beams towards Smith. But, just like how the other previous attacks had been dealt with, the patterns that were on Smith’s body easily nullified all the attacks.
But of course, there was no way that Olivia was going to allow Smith to be able to reach Sarah. She was not the only one with that thought considering that even Adam was thinking about the same thing.
Sarah was so vital to the territory. When it came to the people that possessed elements that were considered very important, then, Sarah would be the one that would be taking the lead.
After all, there was no guarantee that they would be possessing several potions that they will be using in order to heal their injuries in case they were injured. So, it was no different to call Sarah a lifesaver.
Just like Olivia, he also began rushing forward. Although it was true that Smith had acted in front of him, still, Adam was not that far away from him.
A shockwave was launched towards Smith, due to Adam using the shock blast skill. Although it was true that they were not capable of injuring Smith currently, but, that did not imply that they were not capable of slowing him down.
And from the way that they could see things, they could tell that Smith was somehow anxious about dealing with Sarah. But, that was not something that they were going to allow him to do.
Smith who was charging forward was forced to stop. It was not due to the fact that he was being attacked, but, the power of the attack could not be underestimated because Adam was not holding back at all when he was attacking.
He was forced to take a few steps backwards, and, just before he could charge forward, Olivia also moved forward. This time, she was not just attacking from a long range, but instead, she had decided to attack from a close range as well.
The sword that was covered in ice tore through the air as it approached Smith. Smith did not hesitate to use the stuff that he was holding to block the attack.
Bang!
He was once again pushed back. Although it was true that Olivia was not focusing on physical strength, but still, she was actually a combat mage. So for that reason, she possessed incredible physical strength as well, although it was not at the same level as Adam.
Additionally, she had chosen the best moment to attack. So, Smith who had just began stabilizing himself was forced to take a few steps backwards again.
In the next moment, an ice prison suddenly began appearing around Smith. And, having already gotten used to this, Smith launched the stuff that he was using in his hand, trying to break the ice cube that was surrounding him.
But, he had just attacked, and before the attack could even land, he was attacked by Adam. Currently, Adam was not sparing any effort. In fact, he had already entered his rage form.
This was a skill that if activated, it had a cooldown of two days, and, it was capable of increasing his strength by three times. So, the moment that he attacked, the power behind his attack could not be underestimated at all.
Previously, he was able to be evenly matched with Smith. But now, his strength had been increased by three times. And, just like Henry, he was actually trying to hold back, making sure that he did not use this skill considering that it had a cooldown of two days, which was something quite long for a skill of the third star rank.
Boom!
An explosion occurred in the air. And in the next moment, the staff that Smith was holding was actually cracked. At the same time, it was forced out of Smith’s hands.
Not only that, even Smith’s hand that was surrounded by several patterns that were surrounding his body was actually broken. Even bones could be seen, and the purple blood began leaking out of the wound.
On the other side, Sarah was so concentrated on the light energy that was present inside Smith. She had already been struggling for a long time to be able to get that energy closer to the heart.
It was just that, it was straining for her to be able to control the energy that was completely out of her body. So, the amount of energy that she was consuming in order to control that small amount of light energy that was present inside Smith’s body was also incredible.
But still, although it was difficult, she was still capable of making progress. Additionally, during the past few days, it was not as if she had been idle.
She had been training the light element manipulation, together with Olivia and Jasmine. So, although the improvement was not that high, but, she was actually capable of manipulating the light element to form something like the light orbs that were being used to light up the area right now.
Although it was taking a lot of effort, she still managed to approach the area where the heart was located. But, it was also during this moment that suddenly, the dark energy that was present inside the body suddenly began acting violently.
And, all of this immediately made Sarah who was already soaked in sweat, to sweat even more. If a person observed her from a distance, they would be able to see the sweat that was trickling down her face.
But still, although it required a lot of effort, she still persisted. She was not willing to give up after giving in all that effort. So, not caring about her surroundings anymore, she fully focused on that energy inside his body.
Although there was a lot of obstruction in the way, but, due to the fact that Smith was being continuously attacked from the outside, he could not continuously block the attacks that the light element was launching in the surrounding area, so that it could remove the blockade that was in front of it.
Smith was getting anxious as Sarah continuously attacked. It was just that, he did not possess the dark element manipulation, so that he could utilize to actively control the energy that was present in his body.
The attacks that the dark element in his body was launching towards the light element that was trying to invade his body deeper was done subconsciously, and not under his control. That was the reason why he was trying so hard to make sure that he took care of Sarah as soon as possible.
Bang!
Smith managed to crush the ice cube that was surrounding him. The ice prison still was immediately prevented from coming into fruition.
But, he had just taken a step forward when suddenly, Adam attacked him. Adam utilized the reckless slash, a skill that enabled him to deal 200% damage.
Boom!
Smith who had just finished attacking the ice prison was not given a chance of blocking the attack. And for that reason, Adam’s battle ax landed solidly on his chest.
But unlike the previous times, the patterns that were on his body did not prevent the battle ax from completely injuring him. After all, if he was capable of maintaining this state that he was in for a few more hours, then, that implied that he was going to be invincible.
Blood began coming out of the wound that had been slashed by Adam’s battle ax. But still, regardless of the fact that he had been injured, Smith actually attacked Adam.
Knowing that there was no chance of retreating, Adam did not back down. Instead, he activated injury immunity, something that enabled him to become invincible for 2 seconds.
Bam!
The attack landed on Adam’s body, but, it did not deal that much damage on him. Instead, other than just the sound effect that was produced after it landed, Adam did not suffer any injuring at all. In fact, he was not even pushed backwards.
Instead of retreating, Adam was also charging forward. So, after the attack failed to have an impact on him, he was already attacking for the second time.
Swish!
The battle ax cut through the air, before it landed once again onto the same area where it had landed previously.
Roar!
Smith immediately released an inhumane and ear piercing roar. As for whether this was due to anger or pain, Adam didn’t care.
