Chapter 420 The Might Of A Farmer

-----

Bloody Harvest, one of the two Skills Joan acquired in the Demon War when he managed to reach a very high level with his Farming Talent. Joan has been a hunter since he had memory of, even with a Talent that was not fit for battle, he used his wits and accumulated knowledge to fight against powerful monster such as Giant Wild Boars and win, bringing food and money to his house that farming alone couldn't bring.

However, a miracle had happened when he reached a high level in the Demon War, he acquired two powerful Skills [Bloody Harvest] and [Soil Manipulation]. The second was his most used to create ground traps and pitfalls using his Spirit, but the first one was only used a couple of times due to its dangerousness.

What it did was very simple, and it seemed almost unfitting of the Farmer Talent, but it merely granted Joan the ability to unleash a powerful blow against a foe using a Farming Tool as his weapon. The damage dealt was multiplied with each successful harvest in his farm each year, resetting every year.

It was an odd skill, but right now, it was perfect.

Especially because this year's harvest was plentiful!

FLAAASH!

His Cursed Spear gained a phantasmal black aura, as it shone bright red. Like his own son, Joan was born and polished to be a fierce warrior, his Talent shaped itself to his will, granting him what he had always desired… an Attack Skill!

"[Bloody Harvest]!"

Joan felt over half his MP being drained out of his body and feed into his Cursed Weapon and the Skill Activation itself, as his movements suddenly became incredible fast, jumping out of the Fenrir he was mounting and reaching the five Chimeric Rotten Giants wrapped around the Holy Chains of Jack.

His spear reached the Giants, unleashing an explosive and piercing blow.

CLAAAAASSSSSHHH!

"GRUOOHH…!"

One Giant fell in an instant, as its core and soul were destroyed by the incredibly strong blow, while the other four Giants were damaged severely, ready for the picking!

Musk, the Adventurer Guild's Master rushed forward, the light of the moon shone above his bald head as he raised his enormous hammer and swung it against the Giants, unleashing a powerful tremor that broke through their bodies, killing another one and weakening the rest!

"[Tectonic Hammer]!"

BOOOOOMMMM!!!

"GRAHHH…!"

With three Giants left, Lucas quickly saw an opportunity. He had been leveling a lot ever since the time his commander perished by the hands of the Demons, and even more after the Demon War, now having reached a very high level, although yet to reach Rank 2 in his Spirit Orb, he had become sharper and better at swordsmanship.

"Elemental Spirit Weapon!"

Lucas transformed his Silver-Shelled Snail not into the Shield it could become, but in a second and beautiful silver sword he wielded in his right hand, while his left arm held a strong magic sword he commissioned using demon materials to make it even more lethal. His small size wasn't good for powerful blows, but he sure was good at agility!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

He moved around the air, jumping out of the Fenrir that brought him there, as he quickly began spinning in midair, using his powerful [Swordsmanship Arts] Skill to unleash countless slashing attacks against the Chimeric Rotten Giants, ultimately slicing one in half and destroying its core!

SLAAAASH!

"GROOHH…"

BOOOM!

The third Giant fell, as the other two immediately tried to freed themselves from the chains, which finally broke as Jack couldn't contain them anymore.

CRAASH!

However, they were already too damaged, although they didn't feel pain, their bodies couldn't move properly after being hit so many times. The two remaining Giants were greeted by Blake, Eleanora, Erica, and Erdrich, as the four swung their weapons of choice, spears, a large sword, and fists, unleashing powerful techniques and demolishing the remaining two Chimeric Undead Giants.

CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!

"GRAAAH…!"

The two Chimeric Undead Giants struggled for a few seconds, unleashing phantasmal flames that were quickly destroyed by Blake's Holy Water that he was constantly creating using his Grimoire and spraying over them. The two giants ultimately died, ending like piles of rotten flesh and dry bones.

The other Chimeric Undead Giants were only four more, which were being attacked from a distance by Eric's Arrows and Chris Fire Magic, all while Seth and Elizabeth unleashed their combined Holy Light Spells. Seth exceeded with his magic arrow as well, becoming a rather competent long-ranged attacker.

The four Chimeric Undead Giants left fell one by one as Blake and company aided the rest at taking them down, following the lead of Joan and Musk, the group destroyed the giant's legs and made them fall. Their magic was powerful and lethal, but thanks to the Domain of light, it was greatly weakened as long as the Undead were close to the domain itself.

"[Crimson Claws]!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Blake wasted no time, taking down the last Chimeric Undead Giant by slicing through its chest and carving out its Spirit Orb with his hands, which were now covered by solidified blood that formed into sharp and menacing-looking crimson claws.

"OOOHHHH…"

The souls of the Chimeric Undead Giants quickly began to fly away, attempting to run back to their Master. Blake immediately noticed that these Undead might be able to enhance their master's power by feeding him with their very souls, something he had seen Necromancers do all the time.

But he wasn't going to let them get away from him.

"You're not going anywhere."

Blake generated a net using Shadow Strings from his Shadow Manipulation Skill and captured all the Souls while jumping around over a Fenrir, quickly capturing the souls, and absorbing them as if they were noodles, his Physique once more grew stronger.

[Vampiric Blood Emperor Physique: Tier 2] Rank has increased from Rank 8 to Rank 10!]

[Blood and Darkness Element Magic has become stronger]
