Chapter 533: Chapter 533: The Sanction of Death’s Scythe

Song Jian found that for a Sword Controller, attack range is a large weakness. It’s fine if the enemy engages in close combat, but if they were ranged classes like mages, capable of launching attacks from tens of meters away, Song Jian would be put in the awkward position of taking hits without being able to retaliate.

Song Jian always felt that his Invisible Sword Qi should be an energy higher-grade than magic power, but the way it was released, that is, the sword technique, minimizes the effect of the Invisible Sword Qi.

The executioner of the Death’s Scythe opposite to him lightly pointed at Song Jian. A black lightning bolt instantly rushed towards Song Jian at an extreme speed.

Subconsciously, Song Jian cast a Frost Shield. The magic Finger of Death collided with Frost Shield, resulting in a dull explosion. “Boom”, the Frost Shield directly shattered. A thousand points of defense were like a piece of thin paper before the Finger of Death.

“Such a feeble defense!” A disdainful expression surfaced on Naso’s face. It seemed a bit of a waste that he had to chase after someone so weak.

The Finger of Death easily tore through the defense presented by the Frost Shield, hitting the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword in front of Song Jian’s chest.

Hum~

With a soft sound, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword burst into dazzling gold light. Song Jian’s body immediately fell back and stood firmly on the ground.

“Huh?” A surprised look appeared on Naso’s face. Although this move, Finger of Death, seemed casual, it was one of the strongest skills Naso had mastered. Not to mention a level 26 God’s Chosen, even a level 30 person possessing first-order combat power could be seriously injured if caught off guard.

“It’s no wonder that the organization sent me here, it seems this God’s Chosen person does possess some strength…” Naso’s face showed a trace of relief.

Naso is a game NPC, possessing the strength of a level 25 elite boss and the class of a wizard proficient in death magic. Just when he thought Song Jian was quite powerful, his face suddenly changed, and he screamed. The ring on his left wrist suddenly burst into dazzling light.

A faint light, kindled from Naso’s ring, wrapped around his entire body. The silver-gray light quickly formed into a phantom-like armor surface, emerging on Naso’s body.

Naso, now clad in silver-gray armor, looked like a formidable Holy Knight, but his face was filled with terror.

“How can this be…” Naso exclaimed.

A black lightning bolt suddenly appeared out of thin air and shot at Naso. It was so fast that Naso could only manage to release the defensive spell saved on his left wrist ring.

Boom~

The black lightning bolt fiercely bombarded the silver-gray armor on Naso’s body. A clear shattering sound rang out, and the ring on Naso’s left hand directly shattered into countless crystal spots, dissipating in the air.

Spurt~

A mouthful of blood spat out. Naso looked at the slowly dissipating light spots with a painful expression in his eyes. He momentarily forgot about the corrosion inflicted by the Finger of Death.

“Damn it, that was my…” Naso angrily roared. He took out a fang-shaped knife from his waist and fiercely sliced open a wound on his left palm.

In an instant, blood spurted out. Naso’s face rapidly turned white, but soon, his entire left arm gleamed with a silver light. His muscles bulged, and his entire arm swelled in size. His fingernails rapidly elongated, hooked inwards as the tips shimmered with a metallic sheen.

One by one, cyan-black scales slowly came out from under the skin of his left hand. His entire arm looked like it had changed from a human arm into a beast’s claw.

“Claw of Death!” Naso roared, raising his left hand high and fiercely slashing it down at Song Jian;

Four sharp, light-grey claw marks emanated a piercing howl in the air, as if they could puncture a person’s eardrums;

Light Strike!

Song Jian held his sword with both hands, and with a fierce slash forward, the dazzling golden Sword Qi illuminated the surrounding space. The four sharp claw marks collided brutally with the golden Sword Qi, triggering a thunderous blast;

Crack crack~

Naso exclaimed in shock as the golden Sword Qi severed the four claw marks directly, leaving a foot-long sword scar on Naso’s chest. Blood gushed out, and a faint golden glow permeated from the wound, shattering the gathering black aura and preventing the regeneration of Naso’s wound.

Seeing that Naso’s vitality points had fallen below half, Song Jian revealed a bizarre expression in his eyes.

“Your power is not even equal to Tang Ming’s, and yet you dare to pursue me?” Song Jian laughed wildly, spreading out the steel wings behind him. With a leap, he brandished his sword and charged at Naso.

At this point, Naso seemed quite disheveled. The four fingers of his left hand had been chopped off at the base, and blood from his chest had stained half his body red. The two powerful spells he released not only failed to harm Song Jian, but they also led to the loss of a precious defensive magical artifact and severe injuries to himself.

“What, you dare underestimate me!” A burst of anger appeared on Naso’s face. He moved his thoughts and concentrated on the Force of Death, which surrounded his left hand and had already lost four fingers. This Force of Death condensed into four sharp claws on his fingers, then the black aura spread along his arm, creeping towards the elbow. In no time, his entire left arm seemed to be fitted with a black metal claw cover.

“Today, I’ll let you personally experience the terror of the Death God’s Scythe!” Naso swung his left arm, blocking Song Jian’s Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword. With a “bang”, sparks flew, and the black claw cover formed by the Force of Death exhibited an indestructible strength. Even the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword was unable to shake it.

“Death Binding!” Naso uttered softly, spreading his right hand and stretching it towards Song Jian. Five streams of black Force of Death shot out from his palm, forming five black chains in mid-air and binding towards Song Jian;

Song Jian was taken aback, as this move was similar to Tang Ming’s Shadow Bind;

With a thought, a shadow surged from Song Jian, quickly condensing into a phantom clone, standing in front of him.

Almost simultaneously, the five chains tightly bound the phantom clone. Looking at the surprised expression on Naso’s face, a smile emerged at the corner of the phantom clone’s mouth;

Whoosh~

A sword reached out below the phantom clone’s ribs, its dark-red blade pierced easily into Naso’s abdomen, spewing out a jet of blood;

“No!” Naso roared, swinging his left claw and tore the bound phantom clone to pieces;

Seizing the opportunity, Song Jian cut him again, and Naso’s vitality points were left with only about one-tenth;

Feeling his strength rapidly depleting, a fierceness flashed in Naso’s eyes. With gritted teeth, he roared, “No one can escape the sanction of the Death God’s Scythe!”
