Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Chapter 50: Blade Tune & Blade Eater!

Chapter 50: Blade Tune & Blade Eater!

"I am attacking it," Erix said as he looked at the Frost Shield with unique golden patterns.

The steel blade controlled by Erix shot forward and hit the shield, only to get counter-attacked as the Frost Shield shot three ice blades toward Erix at breakneck speed!

"Yes! It works," Rin's eyes shone.

After practicing with Isabella and Erix for half an hour, Rin finally managed to use her Blade Tune skill properly.

In simple terms, Rin could use Blade Tune to harmonize with a teammate's skill and enhance it as long as she could sense the structure of the targetted skill.

Unlike Fire, Ice, Metal, and such elements, the Blade element was an Ethereal element that could harmonize and combine with other elements. This was the essence of Blade Tune.

The skill was a support skill in a way, while the passive skill, Blade Eater, turned out to be her primary weapon and attack that the class gave her.

[ Blade Eater ]

_Type: Class skill (passive).

_Use: Blade Eater is an ethereal blade that you can wield. You can feed it other bladed weapons to absorb its properties and power it up.

_Note: Base damage is equal to the highest base attack of the weapon the Blade Eater consumed, while extra effects are completely retained. You can also temporarily power up Blade Eater's base attack by infusing blade energy into it.

"Rin, I think you can do much more with Blade Tune," Erix thoughtfully said as he rubbed his chin.

"Since it can harmonize with other skills, how about we give our skill's control to you after you harmonize it with your Blade Tune? You can try to do more combos with it."

"I can try," Rin nodded. "But let's get going for now. We'll complete this dungeon first since I need to use my Blade Eater against monsters, or it won't digest the sword I fed."

"Alright."

Rin's hand had a golden blade with blood-red patterns. It was her Blade Eater that had eaten Butcher's Festive Sword!

…

While the trio proceeded further into the dungeon, the new group of people stood before the Dungeon Gate in the military headquarters.

They were awake and planned to roam in the forest a few kilometers behind the Millitery headquarters, but they immediately saw the tall dungeon gate when they went out and gathered there.

Ben and General Tark also arrived shortly.

"Let's wait here until the people inside come out," the muscular group leader said as he crossed his arms.

They tried to enter but couldn't since only one party could enter at a time.

'So this belongs to that group,' Ben thought with narrowed eyes.

"Still, I can't believe there are dungeons as well. I wonder what kind of rewards we will get after finishing it?" said a young man in his early twenties with anticipation.

While this group waited outside, Rin, Erix, and Isabella were steamrolling through the next cave.

Erix's Nether Grasp transformed with Rin's Blade Tune as its demonic fingers turned sharp like blades, and upon grasping someone, it would produce several demonic blades from its palm to pierce the target!

Since using Blade Tune consumed Blade Energy instead of mana, Rin freely used the skill Erix's and Isabella's skills.

She spent 300 blade energy in the second cave to kill seven Ogres with Erix and Isabella.

Three of those seven Ogres dropped origin cores, so the trio sat down and started absorbing them.

After ten minutes, they stood up and looked at two pathways.

"So, which path should we choose?" Isabella asked.

"I think one leads to the boss cave, and another leads to more Ogres," Rin speculated. "We can even see which one leads to where based on those symbols above the entrances."

"We might as well kill more Ogres to increase our Magic Power and Mana. I believe we'll encounter boss cave passage again even if we go to the cave with more Ogres," Erix said.

Rin and Isabella nodded. If they could get more Magic power and mana, then why not?

As such, they went inside the left passage and saw seven Ogres roaming around in the vast cave.

"Alright, we'll try something new with my Blade Tune this time."

"Erix, use your Crimson Blood Flare," Rin grinned.

"Eh? But it's a quick attack," Erix raised his eyebrows. "Will you be able to harmonize it quickly?"

"Yep. I sensed its structure when you used it in the last cave, so I can use my Blade Tune with it."

"Alright."

Erix stood at the edge of the passage's exit and pointed his palm forward.

Rin stood beside with his focus, her eyes faintly shining with a golden hue.

"I am releasing it," Erix said as his body heated up and his arm turned crimson!

"Let go of your control after you release it."

"Got it," Erix nodded.

A second later, Erix's palm released a burst of crimson flare akin to a flame thrower's attack.

The flare released and shot forward, while Rin's eyes brilliantly shined as she consumed 300 blade energy AT ONCE!

*Swoosh!*

The Crimson Blood Flare started twisting as a golden aura merged with it and transformed into a two-meter-long thick burning crimson blade with golden patterns!

It hit the first Ogre, pierced it, and came out of its back while the pierced Ogre screamed in rage while burning!

-1694!

-239!

-189!

Its blood fueled the crimson flare, so it died shortly after suffering such an attack!

But the attack was not over! The crimson blade continued and pierced another Ogre.

One by one, it pierced a total of five Ogres and started burning them, with their blood being the fuel to the burn!

Of course, the Crimson Flare was consumed slightly after each attack, so the crimson blade finally dispersed when it pierced the last Ogre.

"Wow!" Isabella exclaimed, amazed at the result of the combo.

The first three Ogres died while the remaining Ogres were losing their heads over the burn!

"Haha, that was great, Rin! Now, let's finish them off!"

Erix flew forward with five Steel Chakrams flying around him!

Since he could shape Iron any way he wanted, he decided to create chakrams instead of blades since he could also spin chakrams with his control, and… spinning chakrams with sharp edges proved more annoying to the enemies than blades!

A minute passed, and Isabella finished off the last Ogre with her Flame Whip.

But right after that, they heard an ominous notification.

[You have killed all Ogres under Ogre Chief and angered him. Ogre's Chief's attack, speed, and defense have been increased by 50%!]
