Chapter 956: Evening the Playing Field



"[Limit Break: Second Verse]."

"[First Encore]."

With [Four Paths Azure Liberation] on cooldown, Valyr was free to use his Prime Azure Energy however he wanted.

With that, he went ahead and used some of it on his buffs, keeping an eye on his soon-to-be opponent as he felt the efficacy of his skills improve by a further 20%.

Whoosh!

With Valyr's aura beginning to reach greater heights once more, Sellifer proceeded to uphold her part of the idea, expanding the light being radiated by the fixture to encompass an area a couple hundred meters in radius.

Swoosh!

At the same time, she began to make a few gestures in the air, imbuing them with her Azure Energy as a peculiar sensation began to suffuse throughout the surroundings.

Fwoosh!

Within seconds, a domain encompassed both Valyr and Sellifer once more, dispelling the curse that took hold of the former as it then began to expand to where the Myth-level Void Rabbit was.

"[Four Paths Azure Elemental Arts: Raging Azure Phoenix]."

"[Refined Offense Aura]."

"[Refined Defense Aura]."

"[Rage of the True Wyvern]."

Continuing to empower himself with stat-boosting skills activated with Prime Azure Energy, Valyr eventually felt himself reach a similar state to the one he reached back when he fought against his first Myth-level Void Rabbit.

However, unlike that time, the young man had chosen to forgo using the arquebus, instead wanting to use this opportunity to see how far he could go against a Myth-level Void Rabbit without access to some of his most powerful trump cards.

'Well, I'll only be able to truly find out how I fare against a Myth-level being once I start attacking,' thought the young man to himself, grabbing the blood-red spear affixed to his back.

Feeling the voice within the spear resonate with his intent to fight, the young man tightly gripped onto it with both hands as he awakened his Intents.

"[Truth Weaver Scripture: Tetrad]."

"[Intent of Shadow Energy]."

Whoosh!

Making use of the synergy between the various combat-related Intents, Valyr felt the lethality of his attacks rise by a considerable degree, deeming himself ready to tackle what was considered a nigh-impossible fight for someone his level.

"[Flash of the Azure Dragon]!"

Swoosh!

Increasing his movement speed to its limits, Valyr swiftly closed the distance between him and the Myth-level Void Rabbit, the latter belatedly taking note of the young man's presence. "Squeak!!!" Yet, with its stats being higher than Valyr, it did not take long for the rabbit to get ready, radiating immense battle intent as its front paws seemed eager to strike.

Bang!

Though Valyr was barely able to dodge what he could only consider as a death blow, the same could not be said for the tree he collided against, turning into a maelstrom of wooden pulp from the wrath of the Void Rabbit alone.

Briefly catching his breath from having dodged a deadly attack, Valyr immediately decided to widen the gap between the two of them, activating a couple of his recovery skills with mana in

the process.

"[Advanced Heal]!"

"[Advanced Regeneration]!"

Fwoosh!

At the moment those skills took effect on his body, Valyr instantly felt a great portion of the pain radiating from his back subside, allowing him to let out a sigh of relief as he felt his body gradually mending the damage he'd accrued from the rabbit's attack.

At the same time, he pushed his perception to its limits, even going so far as to activate [Hunter's Tracking Eyes] as he began to realize that the rabbit hadn't truly become serious

yet.

'That was just one of its normal attacks, yet it already reduced my health by half,' thought Valyr to himself, feeling immense dread just from imagining the Void Rabbit unleashing its

skills.

"I need to avoid taking as much damage from the Void Rabbit as possible," murmured the young man to himself not long after, briefly glancing behind him to see if the Void Rabbit was

following him.

Of course, as the one who incensed the rabbit, it went without saying that the Void Rabbit was following behind Valyr's footsteps.

However, rather than make use of all of its agility to kill the being that annoyed it, the Void Rabbit instead moved at a leisurely pace, seemingly mocking Valyr's lacking capabilities in

both combat and speed.

"That's it."

Realizing what the Void Rabbit was doing, a flame of annoyance began to smolder deep

within Valyr's body, gradually growing stronger as he eventually stopped in his tracks.

Taking in a deep breath to calm himself down, he then faced the Void Rabbit once more before

activating one of the strongest skills in his arsenal.

"[Descent of the True Wyvern]."

Whoosh!

With more power than before, Valyr closed the gap between him and the Void Rabbit once

more, catching the latter unaware due to the sudden increase in combat strength.

Now that he had an idea of how strong the Void Rabbit was compared to him... It was due time for him to even the playing field once more.
