Novel Full Chapter 917 - Pulled
Chapter 917 - Pulled
Rocks and boulders rained down as the ceiling collapsed and Emery ended up losing sight of the group who were behind him.
The wild hailstorm of rocks has also rendered him unable to [Blink] around to dodge, as the limited space he could use to dodge was filled with falling rocks. One wrong step and he would be buried under.
Not to mention, the stage 5 Abyss creature just a few meters in front of him was still hunting for his life.
Whooosh!
The creature once again shot out the shining, life-reaping strings. Hundreds of gleaming threads weaved and moved all around the rocks, hunting for him like each had a mind of their own.
Seeing the onslaught coming in his way, Emery quickly touched the ground beneath him and cast a spell.
[Jade Wall]
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Right as the gleaming green wall was erected, hundreds of rocks assailed it, and within seconds, it crumbled back into the earth. The strings shot out from the cracked stones and wrapped all around him in a cocoon-like wrap.
"Urgh!"
Before Emery could do anything, hundreds of strings quickly covered his body from neck to waist. Even with his current battle power, breaking away was a struggle.
Swinging his sword became so much harder. Meanwhile, the creature started to pull him closer bit by bit as Emery tried to resist with all of his battle power.
When Emery was anything but far from the creature, it opened its maw wide, showing off a disgusting, void-like meat tunnel with dozens of fangs growing in an irregular pattern. A stinky smell seeped out from it, making Emery have to resist the instinctive urge to gag.
"Urrgh!"
Spurred by his disgust, Emery decided to unleash his [Night Transformation].
[Battle power increased by 40 points]
Power coursed through his body like a deluge, and dark fur started to sprout all over his arms as his limbs were enlarged. The increased battle power helped him to hold on, preventing his body from continuing to be pulled closer.
Howlll!
With his newfound strength, Emery yanked away his sword arm from the threads binding it, and used his blade to cut the strings holding him captive. It was a struggle, but he was finally able to break free.
Not wanting to waste his chance, Emery cast [Dark Infusion]. With his Savage Blade that coated in an ominous layer of black, he pierced the creature without the slightest hesitation.
Spllaatttt!!
Shrriiieekkk!!
The creature let out an ear piercing screech and flinched away.
That should finally do the job, or at least so he thought...
The creature shrieked one more time, and once again, it was surrounded by a golden glow. Just like that, Emery was able to clearly see how its wounds were closing rapidly. The creature had regained its health yet again.
"What the?!! Dammit!!"
That stage 5 Abyss creature was definitely not a normal one, and at this point, it looked like an impossible task to kill.
If Emery had to have a say, this degree of hardship and peril was really not worth that 50.000 points. He would rather be surrounded and have to fight 10 or 20 stages 4 Abyss creatures at the back foot than even think about facing this exact Abyss creature again.
Hundreds of strings started to creep out from the Abyss creature's mouth and wrapped around his body. He was caught, cocooned in yet again and the creature once again pulled him in.
"Dammit! I am not your freakin' dinner!"
Emery took a deep breath to calm his nerves, and finally, he decided to use his last resort as he realized that he couldn't afford to hold back any longer.
He had hoped that he wouldn't have to use this skill right now, as he lacked knowledge about it. However, this was not a time to be picky.
[Blade Claw]
Three blades came out from each of his knuckles and, with his vastly higher battle power, Emery was able to outmaneuver the Abyss creature and cut the threads wrapping around his body into pieces.
Emery landed on the ground, leaped forward, and pierced all 6 blades onto the creature's flesh.
Spllaatttt!!
Shrriiieekkk!!
He hooked in the claw and used the Fey Warlock's innate ability [Spirit Devour].
"Shall we see which is faster? Your healing or my devour?" Emery said with a maniacal grin on his face.
At the sudden attack, the creature shrieked in pain. It shot its strings again, they wrapped around and attempted to pull Emery in. Due to that, he had to hold on with his entire strength to keep still and ensure he was not pulled into the creature's maw.
A few moments later, Emery felt the movement of energy from the creature pushing into him from the claw. From there, a straight line from the energy pool to his spirit core was created.
At first, Emery only tried to hold on as the energy ebbed and flowed away with a sensation like pushing and pulling.
His strength reigned over the creature in the end, and what began as a string of energy slowly intensified into a wave as Emery felt the energy revitalize his body.
The creature was filled with light energy and each drop seemed to refresh him, and something unimaginable happened.
[Spirit force increased]
Previously his devouring skill was only able to fill his Spirit Pool, this time however Emery could feel the light energy from the creature clash with the mist that was created when he devoured Aburva, the earth element privilege acolyte.
As if the glass was finally filled to the brim, the energy started to move into his core and increase his spirit force.
[Spirit force increased]
When he used the power for the first time, all Emery felt was a pouring of energy. But now it had become a deluge, and his spirit force increased rapidly within a matter of moments. At this point, the creature was already at his mercy.
[Spirit force increased]
[Spirit force increased]
[Spirit force 1328 (1333)]
When Emery thought it had finally stopped and the creature had been deprived of all its energy, once again the golden glow made its appearance and enveloped its body. However, instead of another sight of the creature returning to its peak state, another wave of energy came pouring into him.
More rocks rained down, threatening to bury him and the corpse of the creature in a grave of stones. However, Emery felt as if he had found the fountain of treasures, and he refused to let go of such a fortune.
