Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Master of Evil Spirits
The mutant phantoms were like lanterns emitting white light, illuminating the graveyard as if it were daylight.
As Song Jian was inspecting the attributes of his fused long sword, a special phantom slowly emerged from the center of the graveyard.
Before ordinary phantoms encounter a living creature, they emit a milky white glow, within which was a semi-transparent human figure, faint but discernible. Upon closer inspection, one could even make out the features and body shape of this figure – the phantom’s appearance in life.
However, this special phantom radiated a bloody red glow like a burning flame. The figure within was a woman wearing a crown with a magnificent dress. This woman must have been beautiful when alive, but as a phantom, her face had twisted into an image of savagery and bloodlust.
Upon the appearance of this unique phantom, the ordinary mutant phantoms seemed terrified, hastily drifting away.
As soon as this special phantom appeared, it furiously hunted down ordinary mutant phantoms, tearing each one into pieces and devouring them. With each phantom she tore apart, a chilling scream would resonate around her, as if she was entrapping their souls.
Each phantom she absorbed made her grow larger and her savage aura stronger. By the time Song Jian noticed her, she had already devoured over a dozen mutant phantoms and grown over two meters tall. From a distance, she seemed like a massive moving torch chasing little white lanterns.
“Master of Evil Spirits? A level thirty Elite Boss?” Song Jian squinted and analyzed the attributes of this enormous creature. As it turned out, this suddenly appearing Master of Evil Spirits was the Boss of the cemetery.
“It seems to gain strength by absorbing ordinary mutant phantoms. If it’s allowed to consume all the phantoms in the graveyard, won’t it easily break the Elite level limitation and evolve into a Lord ranked monster? No current player could defeat a Lord-level monster of level thirty…” Song Jian pondered, unsure if, having gained the Golden Demonslaying Sword and significantly increased his strength, he could handle a level thirty Elite Boss.
When she had grown almost three meters, she abruptly stopped chasing and devouring phantoms, appearing satiated and lackadaisical, losing interest in the mutant phantoms around her. Even when an ordinary mutant phantom accidentally touched her, she simply scared it away, without tearing it apart.
“It seems that there’s a limit to how many mutant phantoms she can absorb in a day. Any more, and she could be harmed instead of strengthened.”
Like a king surveying his territory, the satiated Master of Evil Spirits began to patrol around the cemetery. Ordinary mutant phantoms hurriedly kept their distance. Some even dared to stand afar and roar angrily at her, but she seemed to pay no heed to these provocations.
It seemed that Song Jian was directly in the path of her patrol. As the Master of Evil Spirits drifted slowly toward him, he couldn’t help but grip his long sword tighter.
“This graveyard is quite conducive to leveling up. She can’t be allowed to keep absorbing. If she’s allowed to truly grow, I’m afraid no one in the city could suppress her!” Song Jian held his sword, itching for action.
Just as she was about ten meters away, the Master of Evil Spirits seemed to sense something and turned her head toward Song Jian, who was standing at the edge of the graveyard. Her blood-red eyes were filled with greed.
With a shriek, the Master of Evil Spirits suddenly increased her speed. A chilling wind stirred around her, and the heartbreaking screams of countless spirits grew louder as she approached Song Jian.
Song Jian stomped his right foot, and a tusk-shaped energy cluster roared toward the Master of Evil Spirits;
Earth Teeth Assault!
Facing the attacking Master of Evil Spirits, Song Jian showed no fear. He cast his skill first to test her strength.
The tusk-shaped energy cluster collided with the Master of Evil Spirits, creating countless sparks, yet her body only trembled slightly before continuing to move toward Song Jian.
The Level 2 Earth Teeth Assault only dealt about thirty points of damage to the Master of Evil Spirits. Considering she had over five thousand Vitality Points, this attack was as insignificant as a tickle.
“She seems to be an ethereal entity, but her defense is formidable. The attack of Earth Teeth Assault has been reduced by at least half!” A wave of realization crashed over Song Jian, as he understood the strength of the Master of Evil Spirits.
Light Strike!
Song Jian swung his sword, casting his most damaging skill at the Master of Evil Spirits who was only three to four meters away.
A dazzling sword Qi shot towards the Master of Evil Spirits;
She let out a surprised shriek, as if extremely frightened of the holy power of the strike. Her hands frantically moved in front of her chest, conjuring a furious wind around her. Icy mists began to condense, forming a gigantic half-arc shield in front of her.
Wall of Shadows!
The sound made by the Master of Evil Spirits was like a claw scratching on a glass.
Boom!
The golden Sword Qi struck the half-arc shield, causing a violent explosion. The shield shattered instantly, and the golden Sword Qi was countered and disappeared.
A sense of relief flashed across the face of the Master of Evil Spirits. However, just as she pulled back her arms, a golden Sword Qi as thick as an arm fiercely slashed through her body.
-980
A damage figure close to a thousand floated above the head of the Master of Evil Spirits, causing her to freeze mid-air and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
“This is… secondary damage?” Song Jian was somewhat surprised, but his sword quickly transmitted an intel.
After fusing with the Golden Demonslaying Sword, every attack of Song Jian could cause secondary damage. Even a regular strike was equivalent to the attack of two swords;
For Song Jian, this almost doubled his damage dealt. Regardless of the skill used, it would cause secondary skill damage to the target, and the second attack was more subtle than the first. This was why the Master of Evil Spirits was caught off guard and hit by the second wave.
“This is incredibly powerful!” Song Jian’s confidence increased, he brandished his sword and lunged at the Master of Evil Spirits.
