Chapter 904 Fight
As Mary’s ruby eyes turned from confusion to clarity, a laid-back and deep male voice suddenly rang out by her ear.
“The advancement succeeded? Come out and let me take a look!”
It was Greem.
Mary’s lips moved upward when she heard this familiar voice, revealing a strange, unpredictable smile.
The next second, blood energy surged out of her body, quickly forming fine leather armor on her torso, along with a fancy fauld and a pair of red boots. Simple material modification like this was an easy trick after advancing to Third Grade. Apart from magical items and some special metallic substances, Mary could manifest any ordinary item through her blood energy.
Such a high-grade elementium conversion technique was the unique ability of high-grade adepts. Compared to alchemical material modification, items created through alchemy had a more stable basic structure and were identical to the original material. Meanwhile, the basic items created through energy possessed the shape but lacked the same stability of the structure.
Armor like this would disintegrate and turn back to blood energy within an hour if it left Mary’s body.
What a fast attack.
Greem frowned. He had never expected to be wounded by Mary with how fast he had dodged out of the way.
Flames flickered on his arm as pure fire energy surged into the wounds from his powerful Flame Fiend’s heart. A series of crackling sounds could be heard as the flames washed away the blood energy clinging to his injury. The cuts slowly started to heal.
Mary hovered above the cliff, licking the blood on her claws as she showed Greem a seductive smile.
“How about that now? You won’t underestimate me any longer, will you? If you don’t be careful, you will have to suffer a lot more from now on.”
Greem let out a chuckle and finally regarded this ‘duel’ seriously!
Flames surged as the Burning Crown, Fire Emblem, Fearless, Ash, Fire Dragon’s Breath, and that armor of lava–powerful magical equipment of unique designs and tremendous energy–strated to appear on his body.
However, Mary’s outline flickered before Greem could complete his preparations, vanishing into the air like a crimson shadow.
Her silhouette had not actually vanished. Her speed was so fast that the dynamic vision of most adepts was insufficient to capture her movement. Even though adepts had spiritual senses, the disruption of Mary’s strange phantom clones would cause an opponent to pick up on a dozen life signs around them, all of them belonging to Mary.
Moreover, their spiritual senses were not enough for them to distinguish the real Mary from the dozen clones!
However, Greem was no ordinary adept!
Red dots had replaced Mary’s one dozen phantoms in his mind with the help of the Chip’s all-encompassing dynamic senses. Moreover, even though the intensity of these red dots were similar, there were slight differences between each of them.
Other adepts might have difficulty recognizing this difference in an instant, and Greem couldn’t do so as well, but the Chip could!
In his mind, the Chip had constructed a sense-space with the combination of his Burning Domain. It then connected the red dots, assembling a strange and unpredictable pattern of movement. The final target in the chain of dots was…
Greem let out a roar and turned around abruptly. He pushed forward with both his hands and an Inferno Shield instantly formed and pushed outward.
Boom! A muffled explosion rang out.
A white and slender female hand pierced through the Inferno Shield and grabbed at Greem’s right waist.
Without this shield that happened to stand in Mary’s path of attack, Greem would only have realized she had gotten closer after he was injured. However, with the jet engines on his armor, Greem was able to dodge Mary’s crimson slash by a hair.
Moreover, the Inferno Shield he had pushed forward crashed into Mary’s body, giving her a small punishment for attacking him.
One had to admit that Mary’s speed had experienced a breakthrough after advancing to Third Grade.
Despite missing, she still had time to pull her right hand back, slashing the shield to pieces and vanishing from the spot before the flames could erupt.
The ‘trap’ that Greem had so painstakingly designed for her had not managed to hurt her at all!
“Chip, what’s going on? Why was there a mistake?” Greem silently communicated with the Chip as he quickly moved across the canopy.
[Beep. Error in basic attribute collection. The earlier attack was designed based on Mary’s attributes in the past. It is different from target creature’s current attributes.]
“Immediately gather target creature’s basic attributes and fix all mistakes! ”
[Beep. Gathering target’s basic attribute sample. Estimated time required: twenty-seven seconds.]
Twenty-seven seconds? It wasn’t exactly a long time, but it wasn’t short either. It would be a painful twenty-seven seconds against an ultra-fast adept.
Greem let out a roar. The Burning Domain shot out of his body and engulfed the surrounding area. Lava Shields and Inferno Shields appeared, orbiting his body rapidly.
A slashing sound could be heard as a crimson form charged into the Burning Domain, piercing through five Inferno Shields before quickly disappearing from the Burning Domain and vanishing into the slowly dimming sky.
Her speed was way too fast. Greem might have captured her path of movement, but the two Vicious Fireballs he fired had been easily dodged. The Fire Dragon’s breath that Greem spat out chased after Mary, extending all the way out of the Burning Domain.
Apart from shattering a bunch of afterimages, the breath couldn’t even reach her sleeves.
However, Mary wasn’t completely unharmed either.
Greem’s Burning Domain had now reached two hundred points of fire damage. Mary would not be able to avoid the damage as long as she was in the red barrier. Domain-type fire damage like this could not be avoided with high speed.
