The chase continued for several tens of seconds, with Moku sliding backward while continuously unleashing the [Brajamusti: Gatling Gun] mantra. Naturally, Raiden easily repelled the onslaught of blue fire bullets, growing bored with the repetitive attacks. Strangely enough, no matter how much he increased his speed with the [Reinforce Speed] spell, he still couldn't catch up to Moku.
"Do you intend to keep running?" Raiden exclaimed in frustration.
"Yup!" Moku casually replied, once again reciting the [Brajamusti: Gatling Gun] mantra.
Raiden's annoyance grew, as he once again deflected the hail of blue fire bullets with the Reaper's Edge. "Enough! [Wall of Skeleton]!" Raiden struck his palm against the ground, reciting his spell.
In an instant, a large number of skeletal bones emerged from the ground, assembling themselves into a tall wall. The wall consisted of neatly arranged and interconnected skeletal bones. These bones had an ancient and desiccated appearance, conveying a sense of age and decay. They had a grayish or marble-like sheen, giving off an eerie impression.
Each skeletal bone seemed complete with thigh bones, arms, skulls, and other smaller bones. They interlocked to form a sturdy and towering structure.
Moku, hindered by the wall of skeletons, could no longer glide and felt a chilling aura emanating from the obstructing wall of bones. Not only were they formidable, but the Wall of Skeleton also emitted a fear-inducing aura capable of robbing the sanity of approaching enemies.
Unfazed, Moku clenched his fists tightly, punched the air, and recited his mantra, "[Brajadenta: Cannon]." Suddenly, a gargantuan elephant-sized Kala head emerged and slammed into the Wall of Skeleton.
*BOOM!
A loud crash resounded as the Wall of Skeleton shattered instantly. However, due to his impeded momentum, Raiden managed to catch up and swiftly swung his scythe. Moku agilely dodged and parried Raiden's attacks, which were growing faster. He felt the tug on his soul each time Dawnshadow Blade clashed with the Reaper's Edge.
The dragon prana within his body reacted once again, neutralizing the mana intrusion. However, if this continued, Moku's supply of dragon prana would steadily diminish. Therefore, he sought an opening in Raiden's lightning-fast assault and successfully parried the Reaper's Edge.
His body was propelled backward once more as he glided using the [Padakacarma] mantra. The battle reverted to its initial state, with Moku continuously gliding backward and Raiden compelled to chase after him.
"Damn it!! Stop running and fight, you coward!"
Moku did not respond to Raiden's words. He clenched his fists again, striking the air, and a rain of blue fire bullets formed, soaring toward Raiden.
Raiden twirled the Reaper's Edge once more, effortlessly deflecting the hail of blue fire bullets. "Stop using the same spells! Can't you see that they have no effect on me? You're just wasting your mana!" Raiden shouted in frustration.
However, Moku continued to disregard him and kept unleashing the [Brajamusti: Gatling Gun] mantra. Raiden grew increasingly furious, gathering mana to create a long-range spell. He no longer paid any attention to the onslaught of blue fire bullets heading his way.
Raiden once again raised the Reaper's Edge, preparing to deflect the attack. However, his mind was no longer focused on the incoming hail of blue fire bullets but on how to capture Moku, who kept running away.
[Brajamusti:...
Moku smiled. With his inner eye, he could read his opponent's movements as if he were reading their thoughts. Therefore, he knew very well that Raiden was currently in a state of complacency.
Hence, he once again unleashed the hail of blue fire bullets. But this time, with a different mantra recitation.
...Homing Missile]!
Just as the Reaper's Edge spun in front of Raiden, the blue fire bullets suddenly came to life, weaving and evading the Reaper's Edge. Raiden widened his eyes as he saw millions of blue fire bullets slithering behind him like countless serpents. However, he was too late to react, so he could only utter one basic spell.
[Mana Shield]!!
*BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM!
Millions of blue fire bullets bombarded Raiden's back relentlessly. The mana shield protecting his body crumbled within the first two seconds of impact. His magical cloak, which boasted magical defenses, shattered in the third second, leaving only his natural mana protection.
Raiden hardened the mana on his skin, but it could not withstand the onslaught of blue fire bullets for long. The Lich Form he wore appeared to have cracks all over as if being slowly gnawed away by millions of ants. Gradually, Raiden began to feel the damage inflicted by Brajamusti.
"ARRGGHHH!!!!"
When Brajamusti finally ceased, Raiden was thrown, his Lich Form riddled with cracks. He rolled on the ground, looking pitiful.
Blood sprayed from his mouth, and several bones in his body cracked. However, the danger was far from over and only seemed to grow. As he gazed at the sky, he saw the gleam of the Kekayon Armor, obscuring the sunlight. Raiden knew that he was in serious trouble.
[BRAJADENTA:...
"Fuck.. [Wall of Skeleton] [Dome of Skeleton] [Mana Shield] [Reinforce Defense]," Raiden uttered four spells simultaneously, feeling his mana depleting rapidly. However, it did not alleviate the sense of danger he felt.
...ROCKET ARTILLERY]!
Hundreds of thousands of Kala's heads formed in the sky, engulfing Raiden's entire field of vision and casting darkness over the surrounding area. But then, the scorching aura of thousands of meteors ready to impact the earth became palpable. The raining onslaught of hundreds of thousands of Kala's heads bombarded Raiden relentlessly.
*BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM!
The earth seemed to be lifted toward the sky from the impact of Kala's head barrage. Raiden, protected by his four-layered defense, felt the vibrations and the looming specter of death drawing near.
He had underestimated his opponent. He should have fought with extreme caution after the Wave of Destruction had destroyed his terracotta army. Someone capable of summoning creatures that could annihilate 8,000 troops in a single spell was no ordinary person.
However, he was lured into complacency by Moku's cowardly and indirect fighting style. In the end, he became careless and fell into the trap set by Moku. He never anticipated that the hail of blue fire bullets could slither like serpents and deceive his defenses.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
ƥandasnovel.com As a result, he found himself in a state of defeat, and Moku seized the opportunity to launch his final attack. But the die had been cast, and Raiden had to find a way to survive this dire situation.
Time was running out, and with each passing second, the torrential rain of Kala's heads would breach his four-layered defense. It began with the Wall of Skeleton crumbling upon the first impact, while the Dome of Skeleton managed to hold on for a quarter of a second.
The Mana Shield he had created wavered and shattered instantly. Simultaneously, his last line of defense, Reinforce Defense, could only mitigate the damage rather than neutralize it. Ultimately, Raiden had to endure the relentless onslaught of the raining Kala's heads.
"AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!"
Raiden struggled to rise, but his body felt as if it were being crushed by hundreds of mountains at once. Gradually, the Lich Form that had enveloped him shattered, revealing his original form. Raiden began to bleed, and the luxurious magical robe he wore started to burn.
By the time the rain of Kala's heads subsided, Raiden appeared truly pitiful. His once handsome face now looked battered, with blood flowing from his nose and mouth. The exquisite magical robe he had worn was torn everywhere, offering him no protection, not even from the scorching sun.
Some of his bones were cracked, and his internal organs were injured. However, his experienced instinct in warfare alerted him to the danger approaching from behind. The sky was now clear, devoid of the Kekayon Armor or the multitude of Kala's heads that had obscured it.
But a glimmer of Dawnshadow Blade passed behind Raiden. With what little strength he had left, he wielded Reaper's Edge to shield his back.
*TANG!
Raiden was thrown forward, but danger pursued him. With his fading consciousness, he swung Reaper's Edge to push his enemy away. However, like a slippery eel, Moku evaded the swing of Reaper's Edge and thrust his karambit.
Raiden had no other protection but his own hand to block Dawnshadow Blade.
*TRUST!
The sharp tip of Moku's karambit pierced Raiden's arm. Raiden stepped back, but the curved shape of the karambit got stuck in his bone. Moku pulled Raiden's arm and struck his face with his elbow.
*BAM!
Blood gushed from Raiden's broken nose. His body was thrown backward, but Moku pulled out the karambit that was stuck in his bone. Once again, he struck Raiden's face with force.
*BAM!
Raiden was thrown backward again before being pulled back by Moku, only to receive another blow to his face.
*BAM!
Blood streamed from Raiden's face as the karambit stuck in his bone was pulled once more.
*BAM!
Consciousness began to blur in Raiden's vision, but the pain in his arm jolted him back to consciousness, only to be struck in the face again.
*BAM!
Raiden attempted to push Moku away with Reaper's Edge, but as if controlling Raiden's body with the karambit stuck in his bone, Moku delivered another blow to Raiden's face with his elbow.
*BAM!
As if unsatisfied with just that, Moku repeated the same motion.
*BAM!
Raiden was thrown-Moku pulled his karambit-Raiden's face was struck hard.
*BAM!
Raiden was thrown-Moku pulled his karambit-Raiden's face was struck hard.
*BAM!
Raiden was thrown-Moku pulled his karambit-Raiden's face was struck hard.
*BAM!
Raiden was thrown-Moku pulled his karambit-Raiden's face was struck hard.
*BAM!
Raiden was thrown-Moku pulled his karambit-Raiden's face was struck hard.
*BAM!
