Chapter 368 Intense Battle
-----
Eric's new Arrows were a creation of mine, of course. I had suggested him to leave his arrows submerged on Wyvern and Demon blood, as it would make them stronger and turn them into Cursed Arrows, with even a small chance to give them draconic effects. The two arrows he fired were submerged in this combination, turning them into cursed arrows.
When he infused the power of his Nature Element Ki and his Spiritual Essence coming from his Vine Spirit, a new technique was created, as Vines made out of Demonic Energy and a Dark Essence emerged, viciously entangling his foes, and absorbing their blood and demonic energy in the process!
"The Black Demonic Vines really worked… I guess I could call this a Spirit Technique as well?" Eric wondered while looking at the scene completely flabbergasted. His Spirit emerged around him in vines and red roses.
"Gyshi!" It gave a small little sound. It seemed he was able to communicate with his strange spirit rather well.
"Graawrrr!"
"Gryarraaa!"
However, they were not dead yet.
"Eric, don't lose focus, let's finish them!" Chris commanded, as he and Eric quickly finished off the two Imps and the wolves.
They had surely grown stronger. It simply didn't made any sense I would remain as the only one capable to take on monsters here. As they could level up several times faster than I did by not possesing Curses, it was obvious they would feel stronger quicker as they hunted many monsters and leveled up.
"Go!"
Erika was in the frontlines already fighting. Although we decided to not separate from one another by more than a few meters to remain in a group, she was a group by herself. The many dolls she could summon all emerged at once, quickly changing Jobs into Archers in an instant and bombarding one of her targets, a three-headed demon wolf being mounted by a horned Imp Warrior with hundreds of magic arrows.
"Graarrr!"
The Imp roared furiously as he was swinging his large blade, unleashing aura shockwaves of his demonic energy around to destroy the annoying needle-sized arrows. Only for Erika to close by faster than the demon or the wolf could had predicted.
"Gotcha!"
CLANK!
Her enormous blade hit the Imp's head with an enormously loud sound of metal crushing the bones of a living being. The Imp's entire skull was shattered into pieces as its eyes flew off into the ground, the wolf immediately attempted to fight, as it suddenly attempted to bite Erika's body with its three jaws!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
However, the wolves were suddenly stopped as they bite through her body, immediately realizing she was not made of flesh at all, even their jaws felt pain and many of their fangs broke out of them when they realized Erika couldn't be easily torn apart with bites alone.
"GRAR!"
Erika quickly tried to slice the three heads with her large sword, but the wolf stepped back nimbly and evaded her blows. The three heads opened their jaws and decided to fight with magic, conjuring demonic flames and firing them at her!
"Shielders!"
FLASH!
Her thirty summoned Dolls suddenly changed Jobs in an instant, turning into Shielders. They were not bigger than 30 centimeters but they were wearing metallic armor and shields twice as big as their bodies. By using their ability to float in midair, they assembled together into a formation, shielding Erika from the flames. Although many of them took the flames and began to burn into ashes, Erika was protected successfully.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The fireballs continued to reach her and explode one after the other, as her dolls continued to turn into ashes. However, Erika successfully caught up to the wolf and attacked it once more, spinning with her [Dance] Skill and employing her [Sword Mastery] Skill together into a spinning and deadly attack.
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"AWROO!"
The wolf had two of its heads beheaded in an instant, as it managed to step back and counter attack Erika with its sharp tails which ended on bladed tips.
SLASH!
CLASH!
However, Erika masterfully parried the tail attacks and then conjured a sudden explosion of pink-colored fog, completely consuming the wolf in the process.
POOF!
"GRAWR?!"
The wolf was suddenly left confused, as the illusory smoke began to confuse its own senses of direction, smell, eyesight, and even hearing. Suddenly, it felt as if the wolf was seeing several illusions of Erika round him, and he viciously attempted to fight them all with his tails and his only head, failing miserably as all were illusions.
This was Erika's new Illusion-Attribute Spell [Illusory Smoke], it is similar to what Spore can do, but even more strengthened thanks to her Loki's Heart Necklace. The wolf which now had only one head easily fell to this trick and began to attack the illusion of Erika, while the girl quickly began to slice through its body, damaging it constantly.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"And now…! Blood Blade!"
FLASH!
Her sword which had evolved recently used all the blood it absorbed from each slash from the wolf and shone bright red, generating a Blood Aura shaped into an even bigger sword and then…!
SLAAAASH!
"GRAAAAWRRR…!"
The entire wolf was sliced in half, mercilessly.
BOOOM!
The enormous slashing attack continued behind the wolf, impacting another one and slicing it in half as well… the attack continued, easily slicing dozens of trees behind.
"Excellent work!"
I couldn't help but praise her as everyone fought relentlessly. She had already gotten the hang of her two Cursed Items effects and used them to her advance wondrously.
"GROAR!"
"WOOF!"
However, there was no time to stop and talk about our different moves or techniques, as two other wolves mounted by savage Imp Warriors closed in, Erdrich was right ahead of me so he intercepted both, his size suddenly tripling as muscles covered his entire body.
CLAAASH! CLAAASH!
He suddenly stopped both wolves from attacking us with his fists' gauntlets, and then, spun his entire body while holding into the wolves' jaws, turning them upside down and crashing them into the ground!
BAAAM!
