Chapter 182 An Uphill Battle
The scene before him was very much like the arcade games from his previous life.
Except now he was the one playing the part of the villainous Boss.
His three Lava Shields were two meters tall, one meter wide, half a meter thick and made of countless molten rocks that still burned with patchy flames. Red-hot lava was still dripping out of the gaps between the stones.
The spellbreaker knights that leapt in succession were all swinging the runic sword in their hands with all their might. Knight battle techniques rained blows of varying colors, crashing onto the Lava Shield and whistling through the air as they did so, shattering the magma, causing lava to splash everywhere.
The spellbreaker knights could only dash past Greem and try to hit the Flame Fiend with their most destructive attacks at the moment his back was to them. This was because there weren’t many ice crystal shards left around Greem’s Flame Fiend body that could be used as a foothold.
Greem, on the other hand, had turned into a an ungainly giant. He used the Lava Shield to block enemy attacks, while savagely attacking the weak opponents before him; with his fearsome hand shrouded in blistering flames, with his five-meter long flame whip formed from concentrated flame Elementium, and with fire spells that radiated terrifying Elementium flux.
Some spellbreaker knights were able to bend their bodies or leap to dodge Greem’s terrifying attacks with their agile bodies. But there were always some who failed to dodge. Faced with a whip that was cutting through the sky, they could only cower and maximize their shields to mitigate the opponent’s attack.
These kinds of indiscriminate radial attacks were the scariest!
The spellbreaker knights were adept at trading blow-for-blow, as well as using their concentrated knight battle techniques to shatter their opponent’s single-target elemental attacks. However, when faced with this kind of unreasonable and indiscriminate attack, their expressions would sour as they could only hide their bodies behind the energy shield, that covered an area of one square meter, and resist this wave of flames.
Even with Ninther’s rich battle experience and skillful fighting techniques, he could only endure the attacks of his enemy at this moment.
Boom. A muffled blast rang out.
Ninther was like a tiny boat thrown about in a violent storm’s surging waves as he was blasted far away by the ferocious shockwave and streaming flames. The metal claw that connected him to Greem didn’t even lasted two seconds. Already, it had turned into a pool of red hot slag, blown and scattered all over the place.
Ninther was blown twenty meters away. It almost seemed like he would fall into the edge of the lava pool, but already a swift spellbreaker knight had already driven his horse close, skimming the lava’s surface as he caught Ninther and successfully bringing him back to their side.
Greem loomed at the center of the lava pool. He raised his left hand and looked at the wide gash on his chest. He could a feel an intense pain that pierced his heart.
After his Flame Fiend Transformation, this elemental body was mostly filled with molten rock and swirling magma; yet it was also filled with potent flame energy that had been steeped in Greem’s will and Spirit.
At this moment, that flame energy was an extension of Greem’s consciousness, and the places where the flame energy extended to was Greem’s body. Thus, even though it was burning lava that bled out of the large hand and chest wounds that Ninther caused, the one that was hurting was still his consciousness that was suffused throughout this form.
Greem plunged his left hand into the lava pool below him. After a short while he removed it, and this badly wounded left hand was as good as new again. Once more, he bent his body to scoop up plenty of lava and spread it on his chest. His injury there healed instantly as well.
The unexpected injury triggered Greem’s rage. He roared loudly as he launched a new wave of attacks!
