Chapter 203 Weakened

Chapter 203 Weakened

The plan was to confuse the enemy, and at the same time, rain down attacks at a single point to penetrate the enemy's extremely tough defenses reinforced by Alleviation.

Adam used the basic spell, Shape Earth, to disrupt the orc's movements. Then, he used the same spell to restrain the orc and then bombard him with Magic Missiles in a single area to create an opening. The most uptodate novels are published on n0velbjn((.))com

These two simple spells used by Adam were only the opening act, preparing the grand stage for the main act—Edward's lightning fist!

As Adam hurled the orc toward Edward, who by that time had already gathered sufficient mana in his fist, it was already game over.

With a resounding explosion that rang throughout the battlefield, Edward's fist viciously penetrated the orc's chest, instantly killing him.

As soon as the orc's eyes turned dim and he lifelessly fell to the ground, a very strange phenomenon occurred on the battlefield.

As if it were a domino effect, with the death of the first orc, the rest of the orcs who were connected to him by Alleviation, felt a great aftershock.

At once, the remaining seven orcs collectively spurted out a mouthful of blood and were momentarily rendered useless in the fight against their opponents.

When Adam noticed this occurrence simultaneously happening across the battlefield, his lips curled up into a cold smirk.

"Everything has a price."

The next moment, he cast Mind Whisper and quickly instructed Daneli.

...

CLANG!

Daneli suddenly got the upper hand in the sword fight against the orc when the latter coughed out blood and lost his focus.

A split second later, Adam's words rang inside his head, causing Daneli to ferociously bombard his opponent with even more attacks.

Gradually, the orc retreated step by step as he defended against the elf's swords that attacked him from unpredictable angles. The orc's mind was in chaos. His suddenly coughing blood and being overwhelmed by weakness could only mean one thing.

One of us died! The orc thought in apprehension. Could it be the loud explosion just now?!

He couldn't afford to turn his attention away from the battle and check up on his teammate. But his strength gradually returned to him as the effects of Alleviation came into effect once again.

Damn it! The orc cursed inwardly as he defended the elf's attacks, How the hell did someone manage to—

Kurdan wiped the blood from his lips, his expression turning extremely solemn. They must have already realized it by now...

The spell Alleviation was an extremely useful spell that one could cast on a group consisting of the same species.

If any one person from the group suffered damage from an enemy attack, the damage would be dispersed equally among the rest of the members of the group who were connected by the spell.

However...

The greatest drawback of this spell was that if one person died in the group, that damage would also be equally dispersed amongst the rest of the group members, significantly chipping away their vitality!

Kurdan scanned the battlefield with his cold eyes. By now, most of the Magi had already been dealt with. While a small number of them had escaped, it didn't matter. The orcs had already fulfilled what they had set out to do.

But having two of their orcs killed was a great loss for Kurdan. When his gaze landed on Edward and Daneli, he was overcome by boundless anger. "So it was them... They must be killed."

The next moment, his eyes darted around, seemingly looking for another person. "But where is that human named Adam?"

...

Adam was standing a distance away from his friends' battlefield, stroking his chin with an amused expression. "The battle with these pig-faced bastards is easier than I expected it to be..." He then shook his head after a brief pause. "Ehh, not really."

It was easy yet hard to deal with the orcs who were under the effects of Alleviation.

Easy in that, if one of them died, the rest would be weakened. Hard because it was difficult to kill even a single one of them.

Suddenly, Adam's eyes narrowed and his lips slowly curled up into a smirk. Ah, someone finally took the bait. A pity it's not that lanky pig from before...

The next moment, a female orc suddenly appeared behind Adam with her battle axe raised. Her bloodshot eyes gleamed with a cruel glint as she viciously swung her axe down.

"Die!!"

However, the following moment, the orc was filled with disbelief as her axe effortlessly passed through Adam's body. Much to her shock, the latter's body had dissipated into gray smoke.

Rank 1 Spell: Dingy Illusion!

Just as the orc was reeling in from the shock, a cold voice filled with unbridled killing intent suddenly pressed down on her from behind.

"Hand of Doom..."
