Novel Full Chapter 543 - Uller's Might!
-----
While desperately trying to survive against Uller and evading or blocking the powerful blows from Yukihime and Mikoto, Austr tried the best he could to fight back. His Blade clashed against Uller's body constantly, but he felt like he was growing more and more tired while Uller seemed completely fine! He was completely unaware that the two intelligent weapons also had the power to slowly drain energy from the enemies they wounded.
The blade of Uller had already slipped off Austr's cursed blade a few times, slashing his body and even piercing his armor with ease, like a hot knife through butter, and leaving countless bloody slashes over his body, which were quickly frozen.
However, now he was suddenly lured through the entire battle right where they wanted, into an enormous cloud made entirely out of poisonous gases, which was actually an extension of Vasilisius phantasmal body!
After all, Vasilisius was a unique Ghost, much like it was previously explained with Mikoto and Yukihime, Ghosts are able to be infused with elements while forming and evolving, turning into Elemental Ghosts.
Vasilisius was a man that, due to his Unique Skills, always was related and close to poison and toxins, his very body produced them and he could feed on them to sharpen them and replicate them through his body secretions.
Even after dying, his poisons and toxins stayed within his very nature, and because his Unique Skills were still part of his soul no matter if he became a Ghost or not, he was able to redevelop them once more, alongside a poison-attribute mana core that formed itself once more within the core of his ghostly body.
This way, he ended turning into a Poison Ghost! A very rare type of elemental ghost, capable of harboring deadly poisons, toxins, and venoms within his body, and expand them like a poisonous and acidic mist!
Vasilisius spread his entire body as this massive cloud of poison, in fact. The moment that Austr stepped inside, he had actually entered his very body!
The ancestor of the Jade Snake Sect was nowhere to be seen because this entire gaseous poison cloud was himself! Austr was completely unaware of it, trying to chase down the voice that laughed at him from afar!
He had also tried to dissipate the cloud with the power of his magic, but it was incredibly dense, and it wouldn't easily budge, even more because it wasn't simply some gases, it was the body of a ghost, a phantasmal being, therefore, this poison gas was actually phantom, the essence that covered the souls of the dead that had become Undead.
Because of this, Austr was incapable of completely destroying it all unless he could find the core soul of Vasilisius… After all, the composition of the body of a ghost was that the soul was within their core, while a thick outer layer made their phantom, which was constantly producing more phantom and therefore growing bigger. The stronger a ghost grew, the more phantom they would have, although the soul itself would also mutate and grow stronger.
If he could find the inner core of the ghost, destroy the soul and the mana core within it, then he would be more than capable of escaping this poisonous gas prison. However, things were not going to be as easy, not at all.
After all, thanks to the special effects of Vasilisius Unique Skills, his poisons were able to even pierce through the high resistances or even the immunities of his foes, the Vampire began to feel affected by the poison, his vitality dropped, his health was being diminished at every passing second, and even all of his other capabilities were being diminished and lowered, he was growing weaker by the second, and Uller, Mikoto, and Yukihime were abusing this to their heart's contents!
"Where?! Where is the damn ghost doing this?! Agh…! I need to find it and crush it!" thought Austr, looking for Vasilisius anywhere he could, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find him!
Mikoto and Yukihime smiled as they saw the man fly around trying to find Vasilisius, he wasn't even present within this place because the core of his soul and his mana core were floating right outside of this entire phantom cloud! He was glaring down at the entire scene, moving around his body to constantly block the path of Austr.
"Heheh, you will never escape my poison, young lad!" he laughed.
"Damn it!!!"
Filled with frustration, Austr roared angrily, only to be intercepted by Uller that was chasing him down this entire time!
CLAAASH!
"Agh…! RAA! Cursed Blade Arts: Abyssal Dark Slashes!"
Austr unleashed a strong technique to intercept the powerful Uller, as a storm of dark slashes fell over the gigantic blade, slicing through part of his blade and more!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"Hahaha! You're strong!" said Uller. He recognized Austr's prowess, as he unleashed techniques of his own! His Aura unleashed countless dragon-shaped beings, which clashed over Austr with great strength!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Nngh…! You bastard, how strong are you actually?!" asked Austr in shock, as the blade continued to pierce through his defenses and attack him with everything it had, Mikoto and Yukihime occasionally surprised him with sneak attacks, all while the poison was consuming his entire life away.
However, that wasn't all, there was another member of the party that had snaked into the battlefield, Rose! The phantasmal Vampiress reached Austr the moment he never expected it, using her blood and shadows combined together to clash against him, throwing him off into the distance and using her blood magic powers to absorb his blood away from his wounds!
"Aaaagghh! A-Another damn ghost?!" cried Austr in shock.
"Hahahah! This is far from over, Austr!" said Rose.
"Y-You…! Rose?!" asked Austr.
"It is me, my fellow Vampire! Don't mind me as I take away all your blood!" said Rose mercilessly.
Austr was left shocked as he found out that even the previous Vampire Leader that had died were now back against him, as a ghost!
