Chapter 390 390-A Fierce Battle!
Amid the chaotic battlefield, John remained casually at ease, hands clasped behind his back, strolling around the periphery.
Despite being the one who had invited Adam and Blue Sea to join the fray for the Key of the Saint, he was paradoxically the most relaxed at the moment.
Having unleashed Abyssal Prison, he had already taken complete control of the situation.
The entire area of Hengfeng Valley was under his sway.
The battle was merely a finishing touch.
Yet John didn't hinder the others from fighting.
He could tell that Adam and Blue Sea needed a vigorous battle to prove their strength.
And there were no more suitable opponents than Kingserp and Karthus at the moment.
As guild leaders of the world's top ten guilds, while they had had their fair share of frictions, they had largely maintained restraint.
Rarely did they have the opportunity for such a direct confrontation.
With a relaxed demeanor, John quietly observed the dynamics of the battlefield.
The battle had reached its climax, filled with dazzling skills and clashing energies.
Amidst the neighing of his holy unicorn, Adam's battle with the skeletal dragon was as intense as a meteor colliding with the earth.
His silver-white sword beams cut through the void, countering the dark energy released by the skeletal dragon.
The fierce collision between sword and dragon generated terrifying shockwaves, forcing nearby players to retreat several steps.
The confrontation between Blue Sea and Kingserp was equally intense.
Water magic gathered into towering waves, surging continuously around Kingserp.
Kingserp's black mist managed to block most of the magical attacks, yet it couldn't completely stop Blue Sea's powerful offensive.
Pressed into a corner, Kingserp raised his hand in retaliation, firing a barrage of vividly colored liquids from the midst of the black fog, aimed straight at Blue Sea.
Unperturbed, Blue Sea raised his wand, chanting softly.
A thick, sturdy wall of water silently formed in front of him, effectively blocking Kingserp's attack.
"Sssss~"
Upon impact with the water wall, the colorful liquid emitted a corroding sound.
Blue Sea watched in surprise as his water wall was slowly eroded by the liquid, creating one hole after another.
He looked at Kingserp with a mix of awe and wariness.
Such intense toxicity! What class could Kingserp be to wield such fierce poison?
With a grave expression, Blue Sea deftly maneuvered his wand, conjuring up two more water walls for defense.
Thankfully, his advancement to the hidden class of Sea King Mage had significantly increased his casting speed.
John, too, was intrigued by Kingserp's method of attack, his gaze instinctively drawn to the scene.
He had never encountered such a class in Godslayer before – one capable of manipulating poison.
In their previous encounter at the auction house, Kingserp had been swiftly dispatched by John before he had the chance to showcase any of his class's unique abilities.
John inwardly activated the Eye of Artemis, revealing Kingserp's class attributes:
[Dark Druid: A unique hidden class. Compared to the standard Druid class, it possesses a more terrifying ability to manipulate deadly toxins and can even transform during battle. It's an extremely powerful hidden class...]
John raised an eyebrow in surprise.
He hadn't anticipated that Kingserp's base class would be a Druid.
Usually, in Godslayer, Druid players are known for their genteel and amicable nature, typically choosing nature elements as the foundation of their class.
However, Kingserp's Druid seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation.
Far from having any connection with natural elements, he had delved into darkness, becoming a bloodthirsty monster.
It seemed that in Godslayer, anything was indeed possible.
As John pondered, the battle in the valley escalated in intensity.
Adam's gaze was resolute, his greatsword swinging continuously, each slash bringing forth a silver arc of light, relentlessly striking down upon the skull of the skeletal dragon.
The Holy Light emanating from him covered his Paladin armor, shielding him from the dark energy.
His swordsmanship was exquisite; each strike conjured a tempestuous sword energy, razor-sharp and fierce.
The holy unicorn beneath him charged valiantly, its horn flashing with Holy Light, each impact filled with thunderous power, forcing the skeletal dragon to retreat.
Yet the skeletal dragon did not cease its offensive.
Opening its massive jaws, it gathered a ball of dark energy, hurling it towards Adam.
"Holy Light Guard!" Adam bellowed.
A shield of Holy Light energy enveloped him, forming an impregnable barrier around his body.
The dark energy orb collided with the Holy Light barrier, creating an explosion like ice clashing with fire.
The two mutually counteractive energies intertwined, causing a thunderous roar.
Adam's gaze sharpened as Holy Light surged within him.
A dazzling arc of Holy Light sword energy formed from his silver-white greatsword, slashing fiercely towards the skeletal dragon.
The sword energy swept across, forcefully repelling the massive creature.
Not far away, Karthus paled, a trickle of blood escaping his lips.
He was in a mental link with the skeletal dragon, controlling it in the fight against Adam.
Any damage to the dragon directly affected Karthus himself.
"If that's the strongest summon you have, then I must say it's rather unimpressive..." Adam placed the silver-white greatsword on his shoulder, sneering at Karthus.
Gritting his teeth, Karthus bellowed, "Don't get cocky, the battle is far from over..."
Mysterious tattoos on his body began to emanate a ghostly glow, slowly creeping across his skin like living entities, eventually converging into the skull wand in his hand.
"Come forth, my skeletal army!"
With Karthus's growl, the previously dormant portal in mid-air started to slowly spin into action again.
Countless skeletal warriors emerged from the portal, forming a formidable and orderly battalion.
Each warrior exuded an aura of malevolence, their lifeless eyes fixed on Adam, as if ready to strike at any moment.
Adam let out a cold laugh, showing no fear on his face.
He swung his greatsword, and Holy Light cascaded out, forming a barrier that blocked the skeletal warriors.
Although the warriors struggled within the Holy Light, unable to break through immediately, they still exerted considerable pressure on Adam.
Meanwhile, not far away, the skeletal dragon, recently repelled by Adam and now under Karthus' control, let out a sky-shaking roar as it rose from the ground again.
Facing enemies on both fronts, Adam finally felt a hint of pressure.
This was the trouble with battling a Necromancer player: they could continuously summon an endless army of skeletons, trapping their opponent in a relentless battle of many against few.
Fortunately, as a Holy Light player, Adam naturally held a counter advantage against spellcasters, which made handling Karthus' rogue tactics somewhat manageable.
Adam leaned down to pat his divine unicorn, whispering, "Old friend, let's charge unrestrained!"
The unicorn neighed, surrounded by Holy Light, as Adam charged towards the skeletal dragon with great force...
On the other side, the battle between Blue Sea and Kingserp was equally thrilling.
Blue Sea's water wall initially blocked Kingserp's attacks, but as Kingserp unleashed stronger toxins, the wall was continuously eroded and now teetered on the brink of collapse.
Left with no choice, Blue Sea had to change his battle strategy from defense to offense.
Chanting a rapid incantation, he pointed his wand, and the water elements in the air quickly condensed into a giant sea deity in front of him.
The deity, towering and surrounded by surging waves, seemed to have two radiant gems for eyes, emanating powerful water-based magic energy.
"Descent of the Sea God!"
Blue Sea directed his wand at Kingserp, and the sea deity immediately charged towards him.
The giant raised its massive fists and smashed them down towards Kingserp with tremendous force.
[Descent of the Sea God (Unique Skill):An exclusive skill for the Sea King Mage class, it condenses water elements to summon the projection of the Sea God to assault the enemy. It inflicts triple cumulative damage on the target, with the base damage being 2% of the enemy's maximum HP, and each subsequent hit doubling the damage…]
This skill, acquired by Blue Sea after his transformation into a Sea King Mage, is undoubtedly powerful.
In battles among equals, a skill that can inflict percentage-based HP damage is almost invincible.
As expected, the sea deity's three consecutive strikes shattered the dark mist surrounding Kingserp, revealing his true form.
Blue Sea's eyes sparkled fiercely as he fixed his gaze on Kingserp.
Although powerful, he did not believe his attack could instantly kill a high-level player like Kingserp.
After delivering its three powerful punches, the sea deity's form dissipated.
And Kingserp, at this moment, had undergone a complete transformation!
