Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Soul Wail

Translator: 549690339

Song Jian’s skills dealt extra damage to the Necromancer Witch, but his ordinary attack, chopping down on her, was directly immunized.

In fact, it was just the Necromancer Witch’s skill “Ephemeralization” that temporarily immunized physical attacks. However, after being released, she suffered a 30% increase in Spirit damage.

Swish-

The witch’s two withered hands grabbed forward, leaving five pale scratch marks in the air. Without even touching Song Jian’s body, he suddenly felt a strong force coming at him and the pain in his chest. Five damage numbers of over thirty floated above his head, and this attack directly removed nearly a hundred and eighty Vitality Points from Song Jian.

Song Jian took two steps backward, withdrew his sword, and showed a flash of silver on the index finger of his left hand. With a forward-point, a three-meter-long sword light aimed at the skull of the Necromancer Witch. Muted flashes of silver light filled the dim passageway, here and gone in a flash. This attack directly pierced the skull of the Necromancer Witch, and the silver sword light emerged from the back of her head.

The silver sword light vanished in a flash, and the “Sword Finger” skill dealt significant damage to the Necromancer Witch. After the sword light disappeared, a critical damage of over a hundred points floated above the witch’s head, causing her entire body to tremble violently and let out a painful scream.

Song Jian swung his right hand, and Invisible Sword Qi surged towards the “Guardian’s Sword”. The sharp blade flickered with silver light. A circle of grey light suddenly bloomed beneath the Necromancer Witch, rippling outwards like waves. A range of five to six meters was enveloped, including even the space beneath Song Jian’s feet.

System: You are affected by the Necromancer Witch’s skill – Necromancer’s Aura, losing 10 Vitality Points every second, Spirit Points consumption doubled, and self-attributes decreased by 30%.

Swish-

The witch’s right hand swung high, leaving five pale scratch marks in the air that lingered for a long time. Again, five damage numbers of over thirty rose from Song Jian’s head.

A feeling of weakness surged in his heart, and Song Jian frowned. The witch’s attack was a bit too strong. These void scratches dealt considerable damage and had a short cooldown time, only slightly slower than the frequency of ordinary attacks.

What’s more, there were no hints of a void scratch coming, making it nearly impossible to defend against. Each attack dealt over 150 points of damage. Even with his high Vitality Points, Song Jian found it hard to bear.

And with the Necromancer’s Aura activated, Song Jian’s strength instantly dropped by more than 30%, increasing the damage he took. If not for his near 700 Vitality Points, if he were an average player, he would probably be looking for a way out by now.

System: Your talent skill “Thick Skin” is triggered, weakening the effects of the Necromancer’s Aura. Your Vitality Points lose 6 points per second, Spirit Points consumption increased by 30%, self-attributes decreased by 10%.

Fortunately, the talent skill “Thick Skin” remained as effective as ever. Though it couldn’t completely immunize the Necromancer’s Aura, it could reduce its effects to an acceptable level.

Just after the Necromancer Witch released the void scratches, Song Jian rushed forward with his long sword, a flash of silver light on the blade. His speed increased dramatically.

Broken Wing Dance!

One phase, two phases, three phases!

Boom!

An airwave erupted from Song Jian’s sword, and the Necromancer Witch’s body lost control, tilted to one side.

Song Jian’s eyes lit up, and he immediately activated the “Rapid Sword” skill.

Swish, swish, swish –

Even the ordinary attacks, with a 35% increase in speed, were as powerful as skill damage.

The energy of the Invisible Sword Qi poured out like a flood, quickly depleting within a few seconds. The Necromancer Witch’s body was not in control, and the defense on its body’s surface trembled violently like water waves, as if it was about to shatter at any moment.

Pop-

With a light sound, the Necromancer Witch’s skill “Nothingness” finally reached its time limit. Although this skill could temporarily immunize physical damage, bearing too much would reduce its duration.

However, by this time, the Necromancer Witch had also broken free from the control of the Broken Wing Dance, floating again and showing a hint of anger on her face towards Song Jian’s constant slashing.

As Song Jian continued his assault, the witch suddenly opened her mouth wide, as if venting her anger, and a violent energy burst from her mouth.

The sound was abrupt, like a needle piercing through a person’s eardrum. But even covering both ears wouldn’t help. The Soul Wail acted directly on the target’s brain and spirit, spreading from inside to outside, to each corner of their body.

While attacking, Song Jian suddenly felt a strong sense of fear surging from the depths of his heart, and instantly wanted to turn and run. At the same time, his vision blackened, his head spinning and his chest feeling stuffy and wanting to vomit.

Stunned in place, Song Jian’s face turned pale, swaying unsteadily, his entire body trembling incessantly. The long sword in his hand felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds, giving him a feeling that he couldn’t lift it anymore.

Swish-

Another five pale scratches appeared in the air, and this time, Song Jian was blown backward by the attack. Blood sprayed from his chest, and five critical damage numbers of over sixty floated above his head.

His Vitality Points were reduced by more than half, leaving only around two hundred. Although the Vitality Points were still slowly recovering, the curses and the Necromancer’s Aura continued to suppress his recovery rate.

The Necromancer Witch was faring no better, with only about a third of her Vitality Points left. Due to the presence of Invisible Sword Qi, her “Nothingness” skill was virtually useless. Moreover, the continuous skill usage severely depleted her Spirit Points.

Her crimson eyes stared at Song Jian as she hesitated, unsure whether to continue attacking or flee.

At that moment, the Necromancer Witch noticed that Song Jian had broken free from the “Soul Wail” state. The negative effect that should have lasted for seven to eight seconds was on this human for less than three seconds.

Seeing this, the Necromancer Witch hesitated no more and turned to flee towards the depths of the passage. However, her body was now emanating a black aura, making it appear much weaker and more transparent, as if it was about to collapse.

Song Jian, having broken free from the “Soul Wail” state, looked at the crumbling Necromancer Witch about to vanish into the passage and a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes.

After coming this far, there’s no way he would let her escape!

Earth Teeth Assault!

A sharp fang-shaped air mass shot out with a piercing sound, heading straight for the Necromancer Witch.
