Chapter 648: Hunt for the Lightning Magic Stone III

Kanlaon released his breath attack at Zhang Zimo but the Bandit Lord is not an easy foe. Zhang Zimo twirled his spear at Kanlaon's breath attack and the force it generated became a shield that nullified the attack.

Zhang Zimo smiled as an attack of a dragon is this weak and that it boosted his confidence that he could actually block an attack from a real one. What he did not know is that the shadow behind him suddenly became bigger and Sirius came out of it.

[Sirius has applied Bleed on the Boss NPC Zhang Zimo. The Boss NPC Zhang Zimo will lose 0.01% health every second.]

Sirius would have bitten off the head of Zhang Zimo if not for one of his henchmen that warned the boss NPC. Sirius bit Zhang Zhimo's right shoulder instead and applied a stack of Poison of God. A green aura could be seen suddenly covering Zhang Zimo as he jumped away from the fight to gain distance from Sirius.

Zhang Zimo got covered in a green aura that seemed to be his healing mechanism, but Sirius' Poison of God neutralized any type of healing ability once it is applied. The bite wound on Zhang Zimo's right shoulder did not close or stop bleeding. For the first time, the martial artist and now bandit boss, Zhang Zimo, felt fear for his life.

=====

Adrian could see the fear on the Boss NPC's eyes and he could feel that he would definitely escape if he gest the chance. This is the reason why Adrian does not like fighting NPCs as they might not hit as hard as monsters, but they know when to attack and retreat.

He has read of stories of other players in the forum stating their frustration about catching NPCs with high bounties. They were slippery as an eel when they need to scape, and they also have great battle sense when the odds are in their favor.

"I should join the battle now." Adrian decided but he still looked at the side of the noble's carriage.

The girl from the Heihudie clan can be seen doing a great job in suppressing the bandits that are coming close to them, but she looks tired from over exhaustion of her mana. Adrian could clearly see that the bandits are not even supporting their boss and is finishing up their job.

"Paradox, summon the Primordial Armament: Spear!" Adrian commanded and the spear Primordial Armament appeared out of nowhere.

-----

The new skill that Adrian was given is something very useful to him as he ca now control the spear to move with just using his mind. He did not need to physically hold it, but it came with limitations. Adrian is not able to use the skills of the spear if he wields it telepathically.

Adrian's clothes also transformed to fit his theme as the embellishes and superficial designs on his clothes disappeared. His clothes became clean looking with a slick martial artist style just like those portrayed in Wushia novels.

Adrian's horns also seemed like they became covered by another layer of bone as it did not show it burning in gray fire. Instead, Adrian's horns have golden marks on it like it is a masterful decoration. If Adrian lost his horn, then he could pass as one of the noble martial artists that live in the eastern continent.

The only ornament in Adrian's body will be the dragon looking belt that he has on. The dragon seemed to be similar to Kanlaon in color. His clothes alternated in the gray, black and white colors. With Adrian transforming, he is now ready to wreak havoc on the current enemies.

Adrian willed his spear to fly and cut the heads of the bandits that are suppressed by the strings created by the girl from the Heihudie Clan. She got surprised to see an aura weapon helping them which meant that a great martial artist is near their location.

From the Heihudie Clan girl's knowledge, only martial artists can form their intent into weapons and command them to kill their enemies with just a thought. Adrian did not know that his activity became misunderstood, but he did not care as the boss NPC is now actively pursuing Sirius.

Adrian could see that Zhang Zimo is getting accustomed to fighting his three soulbounds despite getting damaged with every time they attack. Once Adrian decided that the bandits surrounding the carriage can be taken care of by the guards, he switched his offensive to the Boss NPC.

Zhang Zimo did not expect a flying spear to suddenly target him, but he was able to deflect it with a wide slash from his own spear. The only problem for Zhang Zimo is that a hole appeared on his defense. All three attacks of the soulbounds reached the boss NPC in a timely manner as if orchestrated by Adrian in perfection.

[Sirius has applied five stacks of Poison of God on Zhang Zimo.]

[Kanlaon has applied burn on Zhang Zimo.]

[Kanlaon has applied frost on Zhang Zimo.]

[Kimat has stunned Zhang Zimo for one second.]
