Novel Full 306 Going All Out!
—–
The Soul Grimoire is an evolution of my own Soul Book which surged because of my Unique Skill [System] because the System I have merged with my Soul Book, and after evolving a couple of times, my own soul went through an evolution. At the end, the Soul Book everybody has ended mutating and evolving into a Soul Grimoire, which had many new functions. I could accumulate System Points by sacrificing some EXP and Skill Proficiency to buy new Skills, or even level them up too. With these points, I can also modify the units that appear inside my Soul Grimoire, such as all my allies that appear as cards. I can even summon new Undead and create them through the Soul Grimoire, although I need materials that often appear listed in the book as well.
I had my Soul Grimoire floating at my side like always, it was invisible to everybody except me, and showed me all the buffs I was giving away. I had enhanced Partner’s Defense and HP by +20%, and also added +10% to all other Stats. The most I could buff an independent stat was +20%, but that was also quite limited. I currently had a limited amount of System Points so I wasn’t into the mood of spending them all in this Side Boss, but I still cared about my beloved Partner so I gave her a nice buff to compensate for her lack of endurance, and it was working wonders.
She was originally a tank for me when I was just starting, but now that we got Lucifer and she evolved into a swift Vampiress, she had become better at moving with great agility in the battlefield. Thanks to my buffs, she was able to overexert herself and her own limits, unleashing constant spear attacks against the Undeath General in quick succession. Her spear was coated in her Bloodlust Aura, which enhanced its piercing and attack power. Her movements were swift and she spun around several times, dealing constant damage against Darkbound..
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
“GRAAH!”
Darkbound roared in anger, attempting to catch the sneaky Partner, dozens of spears made of phantom were fired towards her but her spear intercepted them all while she spun back to the giant Undead. Lucifer caught his fists and distracted him, all while Partner attacked him constantly. Sometimes, Darkbound managed to hit her but she used her spear to defend and she received minimum damage. However, although things looked well, the battle was still quite challenging.
Emeraldine was at my side, preferring to attack foes from a long distance, she decided to make a plan using her magic. She began to infuse her magic and spirit’s powers into her arrows and fire them not at Darkbound but around him. The Undead were hit by her explosions, as they were unable to get in the way of Lucifer and Partner as much, these light explosions easily turned the undead into ashes. However, the arrows which were tightly stuck in the ground quickly began to grow into vines and tree branches, generating a circle as she continued to fire the arrows around Darkbound.
While all three of us were making Darkbound busy, Emeraldine was already readying her special technique to get rid of powerful Undead, something that she had come out with right now, but had been slowly building up over her entire life using her powers.
“Everyone, quickly move aside!” She called, as we swiftly retreated from the scene. Darkbound was left surprised and confused, his HP had yet to reach half of it and we managed to chip away 40% of it, but that wouldn’t be enough to put him down. Of course, that’s if we don’t take into consideration our beloved holy elf.
Emeraldine hit the ground with the golden staff she got from one the priests I once killed, which had an amazing power to boost holy magic, and also came with the ability to allow her to create holy light runes to create magic formations. Using each tree as a node of this magic formation, which she interconnected with one another through their branches and the vines she created, a large magic circle was generated, as she infused her light domain into it.
“Holy Spirit Cage!”
FLAASSH!
The Magic Formation was formed instantly, as it spread through the entire ground and interconnected with many magic runes that were being created by her staff! The amazing power of her formation took a long way to build, but it was now finally coming out! The Magic Formation fused light with nature, as several tree branches emerged out of the ground, trapping Darkbound as they entangled his legs and arms, without letting him move. He attempted to slice them with his phantom blades, dark magic, and even beams of death, but they were all easily suppressed by the brightness of Emeraldine’s light. I was constantly infusing Mana into her because she wouldn’t be able to create this without a constant influx of mana.
“OOOOOOH!”
Darkbound groaned as the countless voices coming from the many souls making him up cried in agony, the light quickly trapped him and began to quickly turn his powerful dark armor into ashes. However, this attack was a trapping and sealing move, it won’t be able to deal enough damage to kill him, and Darkbound was a resilient bastard as a B+ Rank threat, capable of leveling the entire city if he went directly there.
“Emeraldine, give me your light!”
“Alright!”
We couldn’t possibly let him free himself from this, as he would surely unleash his fury against us. I quickly controlled the axe and Emeraldine suddenly infused it with a strong amount of holy light. The two of us combined our power and moved it along the air, making it fall from a high place down like a falling star.
CLAAAAASSSH!!!
The axe easily pierced through Darkbound’s skull, reaching deep into his ribcage, and immediately slicing in half his magic crystal! His entire body began to crumble with ease, as if he were made out of mud and never felt “alive” at all. What was left was a mere pile of bones and armor pieces, and a big, watermelon-sized magic crystal that will surely cost a fortune in the market!
“A-Amazing…” Julia muttered, staying still as she saw what we had done.
