Chapter 487 Silverwing III
Chapter 487 Silverwing III
?
Despite his outstanding speed, the spell activated faster than he could escape its range, rumbling the icy floor and releasing massive ice spikes, each over a yard tall, from the ground.
Even so, Evan was not caught unaware, activating Elemental Shield and setting the element to fire at the last moment.
**BOOM!!
The icy spikes covered every inch of the ground…except for the area within a metre radius of Evan's feet.
Clouds of snow and ice scattered as even burst forth, his speed increasing even further as he kicked off the ground once more and leapt towards Silverwing.
The bird glared at him and flexed its talons, shooting off from its nest and beelining straight to him, with a speed that was every bit as fast as his.
'Blink.'
Silverwing took a moment to retaliate to his sudden disappearance, and in the dizzying chaos of battle, that was a fatal mistake.
'Spirits, heed my call.'
The ambient spirits responded to Evan before he could even finish calling them, joining the roaring spiral-shaped mass of magic power gathering around his sword and infusing it with their respective elements.
Silverwing noticed his location due to the condensing energy signature and tried to move, but the three spirits were just gonna sit back and watch.
[Superconductive Drill!]
[Deadly Mist Coil!]
Kayla and Kuro simultaneously activated their skills, generating two coils of eerie dark tangible mist that wrapped around Silverwing's wings and temporarily held its large body in the air.
Simultaneously, sixteen square blocks of golden lightning manifested in front of one of its restrained wings, rearranging into a giant drill that spun across the air, crackling with tendrils of lightning as it drilled into its majestic Silver wings.
The monster bird's attention was split between both sides, its brain taking a second to deliberate which attack to react to, but by the time it could make that decision, Evan's Elemental Vortex had already been launched.
***BOOOOMMM!!!
The roaring spiral-shaped mass of elemental auras collided with Silverwing's talon, unleashing an explosion of energy that swallowed up its entire leg.
"KIAAKK!!"
Silverwing cried out in pain and anger, its cry increasing as Kayla's skill drilled a hole straight through its wing. It released a massive burst of icy energy that broke Kuro's holds and knocked Evan flying, but he flipped mid-air and landed on a void step, before boosting back into the air.
"Flower Cannon!"
The gigantic flower shoot emerging from behind Eliza launched a concentrated beam of life ice, carrying the power of one of Eliza's skill charges.
Naturally, she had chosen 'Anti Regeneration' as the aspect of life to control.
The beam of green light collided with Silverwing's torso and knocked the bird towards the wall of the cavern, where Milena was waiting with an array of pressurized water spears.
Silverwing's eyes glinted and it flipped its body mid-air, swiping its good wing and releasing a wave of icy wind that transformed into a blizzard by the time it reached Milena.
The pressurized water spears were frozen and the Spirit's body was swallowed by the blizzard faster than she could dematerialize it.
But even after dematerializing it, Silvering's blizzard still managed to harm her spiritual form, her eyes widening in shock as she fled the area as fast as she could.
[Milena!]
Kayla called out to Milena worriedly, and the high-rank spirit materialized her body next to her Great Spirit brethren, her clothes lightly shredded along with lines of bright red blood marking her face and arms.
[This ice…something's not right about it.]
Milena's placed her palms on the floor and absorbed the frozen energy of the Cavern to heal her wounds, right when a message came into her head via her connection with Evan.
'Don't let Silverwing notice you can do that! It'd attack you through the energy you're absorbing.'
The high-rank spirit was shocked when he heard Evan's warning, her gaze turning towards the monster bird but she saw that it was currently occupied with the young hero's attacks.
"Empyreal Judge of Light!"
Golden magic power surged from Evan's body, transforming into a massive half-body construct of golden light, dressed in a judge's robe and wig.
The blindfolded humanoid avatar of light held up its giant gavel and swung it downwards, not even waiting for the sound block to complete spawning behind Silverwing.
Seeing this, the bird's eyes glinted and it activated a skill, sending out a wave of extreme cold that froze the avatar of light, or rather, the magic power that constituted the avatar of light.
**BOOOOMMM!!!!
The frozen avatar shattered with a massive explosion after being detonated by the bird, sending Evan's body flying onto the walls of the cavern.
*BAM!
Just as Evan's body slammed onto the cavern wall, magic circles formed around Silverwing and ice spikes emerged from these circles, firing in the directions of both Evan and the Spirts moving to assist him.
**BOOM! BOOOMMM!! BOOOMM!!!
Multiple explosions rang out simultaneously, each one carrying enough force to crumble a three-story duplex to rubble in mere seconds.
But when the icy dust of the explosions calmed down, Silverwing's brows raised in surprise as it saw that each of the party members had been guarded by multiple floating shields, each one a meter long on all sides.
It turned its gaze towards the person who released these divergent wards, narrowing its eyes at her and kicking off the ground with its single leg.
Despite there being a hole in its wing, Silverwing could fly just fine as it beelined straight towards Eliza who only released the Memoria's spear tip and swung it down with all her might.
'Boon of Enhanced Assaults.
Elemental Damage Breach-Positive
Elemental Damage Bonus-Negative
Corrosion
Weighted Burden.'
In that instant, she layered multiple buffs on herself and channelled debuffs into the Cutting wave she released right after.
Unlike usual, this cutting wave activation released a massive fifty-metre-long projection of vibrant pulsating negative life energy that surged forward, carving through the icy ground on its way towards the incoming silvering.
Sensing the danger from the attack, Silverwing abruptly tried to cancel its charge midway, but there was no way that the others were going to give it that luxury.
The shadow it cast on the ground seemed to come alive as it rose up and grabbed the bird's body, forcing it to the ground and restraining it long enough for Eliza's slash to hit.
The Attack sliced through Silverwing's harder-than-steel-like feathers, tearing through its flesh and spraying bright red blood in the air.
All the debuffs took effect at once, as the wound began festering over with gooey greenish pus bubbling within, its body also felt like its weight had been doubled too.
Silverwing changed its evaluation of this human support, she was not like others who had laughable attack power due to their support roles, she actually had attack power that only lost out to warrior-oriented classes!
[Thunderclap!]
A wall of lightning blocks appeared in front of Silverwing's face, before folding in a 'clapping' motion immediately after and dealing wide area lighting damage to anything in front of it.
In this case, the monster bird's head was the 'thing' in front of it.
Silverwing's muffled shriek of pain rang out, but the party was intent on making it shriek out in more pain.
Kuro's brightest shadow launched dozens of dark light beams towards it, Milena swung a whip of pressurized water down on its body while Evan tossed ten balls of swirling volatile energy.
"Back away!!"
Eliza's abrupt warning rang out, momentarily startling them, even so, they cancelled their next actions and tried to gain distance.
Unfortunately, that moment of being startled was taken advantage of by Silverwing.
'Frost Nova!'
The Bird activated one of its skill's abilities, and unleashed a devastating wave of icy energy, creating a massive shockwave that froze everything in its path.
The powerful wave slammed into the bodies of Evan, Kayla, and Milena, sending them flying over a hundred metres in distance, and it also covered their bodies in cold ice in an attempt to immobilize them.
The trio's bodies crashed on the ground and rag-dolled for a few more metres before finally coming to a stop, but despite the pain they felt, Evan and Kayla simultaneously activated fire magic on themselves.
['Fire Splash!']
A wave of flames washed over their bodies, melting the ice that was threatening to turn them into ice sculptures, but even so, their breaths still released puffs of frost.
For Milena, the spirit was more resistant to Ice based phenomena, so the only damage she sustained was from the fall.
|Adaptive Evolution has been triggered. |
|Elemental Resistance: Ice has been upgraded. |
Evan dismissed the notifications and turned his gaze forward, witnessing the bloodied Silverwing that had broken out of Kuro's shadowy holds and was twisting its wounded body to dodge Eliza's flower cannon.
He pulled out magic potions and energy stones from his inventory and tossed them to Kayla and Milena, putting a magic replenishing juice pack in his mouth as he thought.
'It's about time.'
