Chapter 219 The Lighting Spirit Element
Chapter 219 The Lighting Spirit Element
It was a sort of attack that would be easily countered if one knew what was going to happen. But if the spirit master didn't, no matter how he tried to defend, he'd end up getting wounded by these fangs.
The deadliest part of these fangs laid in the venom they carried. It was a venom that had no antidote but one that could be made by the Grand Black Mamba member who initiated the attack himself.
In brief, once got hit, it was the end story for the spirit master facing any Grand Black Mamba. And the scariest thing was that just one hit was enough, and the Grand Black Mamba member would retreat, leaving his foe to his demise awaiting him by the venom running in his body.
William knew all this about the more terrifying relatives of Garlend at the outer world. But he assumed there wasn't much of a difference between the two relatives and acted based on that.
And luckily for him, he was correct about doing so!
That was Garlend's plan. He wanted to just hit William, poison him, then activate his escaping scroll to get himself away.
He was pretty much confident in his ability to do so. After all, he was a gold spirit master, using the darkness spirit element, and fighting at most a gold spirit master with no spirit activated, no spirit element used, nor knew anything about how the Black Mambas used to fight.
Garlend missed little details here. William was a bronze spirit master not someone who covered up his true strength like him. But his sword was a gold grade weapon. His flying knives weren't that bad, almost close to silver grade weapons.
And he also missed something that was right in front of his eyes all the time… William was using a lightning spirit element in the past attacks!
Garlend didn't have enough time to analyse anything William did, nor was he focused on him in the first place when William started his deadly storm.
In Garlend's eyes, the simplest explanation was that William used a high end technique, one that wasn't supposed to be used by bronze spirit masters.
Garlend mistook William's actions, feeling the latter started to reveal his true power to use that technique.
And if William wasn't a stronger spirit master who covered up his strength, then there was another explanation for all that… William burned his spirit power to have enough power to use such a technique.
That meant William was burning his life away to take him and his team down. In such cases, spirit masters wouldn't have much time to use such explosive power, and they'd grow weak gradually and steadily until they'd fall down and die.
Garlend estimated that William already was on the declining curve of his power if that was the case here. So, the idea of his foe countering his sneaky and deadly attack in such a perfect way never crossed his mind until he saw it happening in front of him.
And that wasn't all!
Garlend started to feel a weird burning sensation starting from the places of his severed fangs.
"Have you started feeling it already?" It was like the seats got switched, and Garlend became the bronze spirit master and William was the gold grade one.
Garlend's body faintly trembled while a terrifying thought started to appear inside his mind, one unbelievable and scary thought that made his body tremble with shock and fear.
"No way! No f*cking way! You… You…"
"Sorry, but you messed with the wrong bronze spirit master today," William was putting up a strong front, but he was indeed feeling quite exhausted.
He tried to control his lightning technique but ended up consuming most of his spirit power.
He knew he had one chance left to take this dude down, and so he decided to waste a bit of time for different reasons.
He knew despite how easy it was to block the attacks of Grand Black Mambas, it was very hard to land a hit over them.
They were quite slippery, with a darkness element supporting their movements, they could evade any incoming attack no matter how fast it was.
William was two grades lower than this dude, and that meant Garlend got a much more abundant amount of spirit power to use than William. Not to mention his strength, speed, and defences were all on the top of the chart compared with William.
So, trying to take this dude when he was this vigilant was a hopeless task.
William placed his hopes on other things than his own technique. Even if he dared to launch his Holy Sword technique, which was quite a gamble with his currently low level of spirit power, he knew the chances of success were slim.
To take down such an enemy, there was one thing William could do. Taking any member of the Grand Black Mambas down needed a surprise element as a crucial set up.
Just like how William did it before, using his flying knives to negate Garlend's attack, chopping his five fangs off, and infusing his lightning spirit power inside Garlend's body.
Garlend used the darkness element, which was the nemesis of the lightning element. William wanted to waste time not only to wait for more formidable spirit masters to arrive, but to let his lightning element infiltrate deeper into Garlend's body, cause more damage through its unique purification effect.
"Damn you!" Garlend wasn't stupid. He instantly read through William's intentions. "Try to stop me from leaving!" As a precaution, Garlend always kept an escape scroll in his ring.
It was a precious thing actually, but to someone like Garlend, it was nothing.
And at such a critical moment, he didn't dare to stay behind any second longer. He knew if he got time, he'd take this annoying bronze spirit master in front of him down.
After that last exchange with William, Garlend got that the latter didn't hide his strength at all.
