Chapter 47: Battle Against the True Soul Master!
True Soul Master Zolvisera Darkblade narrowed her blood-red pupils, carefully examining the human priest before her.
"Your skills are quite good."
"Would you be willing to join the Cult of the Supreme God?"
She paused, a hint of almost condescension flashing in her scarlet pupils.
"With your talent, if you serve the Supreme God, you will surely gain power far exceeding what Lossanda has given you."
Richard didn't speak; in response, a holy fire spell roared towards her.
The flaming arrows tore through the air with a piercing whistle as they hurtled toward Vesela's face.
Visera didn't even blink.
She simply raised her right hand, which was covered in black iron armor, and the flaming arrows were extinguished silently in her palm, like candle flames.
"Is this your choice?"
Her crimson pupils locked onto Richard again, her voice tinged with a cold disappointment.
She leaped off the dire wolf with the lightness of a feather, and slowly drew the longsword from her waist—a sword entirely black with a dark purple sheen flowing across its blade.
The moment the sword was drawn, the surrounding light seemed to be swallowed up, dimming by three points.
Richard took a deep breath, suppressing the rapid breathing caused by the release of the dawn's light.
Thanks to the faint but resilient golden dragon bloodline within him, his physical strength is recovering at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.
He clenched his right fist, and the sacred crimson-gold flames on it ignited once more, casting flickering light and shadow on the scorched earth.
call out--
Just as Richard was fully on guard.
Visera's figure suddenly vanished before his eyes!
"not good--!"
Richard's pupils suddenly contracted!
He almost instinctively dodged to the left.
But it's too late.
Visera's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost, less than three feet away!
The jet-black longsword in her hand was already raised high, with dark purple light flowing wildly on its blade, before it slashed down heavily!
It was the spell attached to the Mystery Step amulet she wore.
The stealth step!
It can instantly shift distances!
"clang--!"
Richard could only hastily raise his right fist, still burning with the sacred flame, to meet the blade head-on.
Fist and sword, clashing head-on.
A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out!
Richard clearly sensed that the power contained within Visera's blade was unlike any enemy he had ever encountered before.
It was neither a pure physical impact nor a burst of magical energy, but some ancient and blasphemous evil power.
Similar to the Paladin's Holy Slash, but instead of Radiant damage, it deals Dark Corrosion damage.
She's a sworn breaker!
Paladins who, after breaking their own oaths and creeds, accept an invitation from a Forsaken Knight and fall into the ranks of Oathbreakers.
Two completely opposite forces collided and tore and annihilated each other, bursting out a dazzling turbulent flow of light and darkness!
But Richard was only a level 3 priest.
Even with the attribute bonuses of standing stick fighting, bloodlust, etc., and a faint trace of golden dragon bloodline within him.
However, his base level was ultimately too low.
Richard gritted his teeth, the muscles in his arms bulging wildly, and the pale golden veins reappeared as he tried to withstand the terrifying pressure from the blade.
But Visera's power was as heavy as a mountain.
The blade pressed down little by little.
Richard crossed his arms and struggled to resist Visera's attacks.
His feet sank deep into the scorched earth, and the ground cracked and sank due to the immense force!
"Give up."
Visera's voice, like a cold, venomous snake, slithered into Richard's ears.
"You are no match for me."
"Joining the Supreme God is your only way to survive!"
Richard did not respond.
Suddenly, he exhaled an unusually hot breath.
The moment the breath was exhaled, the surrounding air distorted and evaporated due to the high temperature!
Visera paused slightly.
The next second,
Richard suddenly opened his mouth!
Roar--!
An ancient, scorching, golden flame, like erupting lava, surged forth from his mouth!
Dragon's Breath!
A talent ability awakened after absorbing the bloodline of the Golden Dragon.
Deals massive fire damage to all enemies within a cone-shaped area in front of you.
The flames instantly engulfed the cone-shaped area fifteen feet in front of Richard, reaching temperatures of over a thousand degrees, enough to melt even refined iron instantly.
Visera's pupils suddenly contracted.
She activated the Fading Amulet almost instinctively.
call out--
Her figure disappeared again.
Golden flames swept past the spot where she disappeared, instantly burning dozens of gray dwarves behind her to ashes.
"Ughhhhhh!"
The gray dwarves let out a mournful scream and turned to ashes in the dragon's breath, leaving only a pile of charred bone fragments.
"..."
Visera's figure reappeared twenty feet away.
Her scarlet pupils were fixed on Richard, and for the first time, obvious surprise appeared in her eyes.
"Dragon's Breath?"
Her voice was filled with disbelief.
"How could you, a human priest, possibly...?"
But her surprise lasted only a moment.
Then, the corners of her mouth curled up in a cold arc once more.
"interesting."
Visera slowly raised her left hand, pointing her index finger at Richard.
At the fingertips, a wisp of dark purple light began to gather.
"So..."
"Let me see what other surprises you have in store for me!"
First-circle spell: Hunter's Mark!
The ghostly light transformed into a dark purple rune that looked like a living thing, and instantly disappeared into Richard's chest.
Richard's body stiffened.
He could clearly feel that an evil aura, like a maggot clinging to his bone, had firmly locked onto his soul!
Hunter's Mark: For marked enemies, each attack by the caster inflicts additional tracking damage.
The blade tore through the air, carrying extra tracking damage from the Hunter's Mark, and slashed fiercely towards Richard's neck!
Richard could only raise his arms again, struggling to cope.
clang!clang!clang!
The sword blade clashed violently with the gauntlets.
With each collision, Richard could feel the evil energy of the Hunter's Mark burrowing into his body like a venomous snake, eroding his muscles.
No...
If this continues, we won't be able to hold out for long.
A resolute glint flashed in Richard's eyes!
He abruptly took a step back, putting distance between himself and Visera.
Richard's body then swelled up wildly as if being inflated, his muscles bulged, and his bones crackled and popped!
His height increased dramatically from six feet to fifteen feet! His size nearly tripled!
This is the entry for the Giant Transformation spell that Richard just obtained from the Grey Dwarf Overseer.
When the drow elf Visera saw Richard's change, her scarlet pupils lit up with excitement again. Her opponent always brought her unexpected surprises.
She was well aware of the effects of the giantification technique, and immediately dodged backward, wisely avoiding a prolonged fight with Richard.
They deliberately delayed, waiting for the time limit for the Giant Transformation spell to expire.
Richard knew that the giantification spell only lasted for three minutes.
She must be subdued within three minutes!
