Chapter 241 - vs. Yuko 2
'Damn! Just a little bit more and the rewards could match the rewards when I fight Gregory!' Souta said inwardly after he saw the rewards from the fight.
This will become a tough fight for him. His battle power still couldn't match that of Gregory.
He took a deep breath and slowly circulated his mana around his body. He casted [Agility Boost] and [Strength Boost] without hesitation. He also activated [Cat's Speed] and [Triple Muscle Strengthening] combat arts.
Souta used all these skills because he felt that Yuko's power was beyond his. He needed to prepare himself and carefully planned out how he will defeat Yuko. The rewards he will receive from this quest wasn't small.
"Don't hold back, Yuko! Show me your power!" Souta said to Yuko as bent his knees and charged towards her.
ROARRR!
Yuko roared and it made the ground trembled. Her aura was overflowing out of her body. It was as if she couldn't control it.
Boom!!
Thick and dense best feram exploded out of her body. It flooded the entire area and it somehow shook Souta who was charging towards Yuko.
She raised her body and prepared to intercept Souta but Souta stopped and brandished the vajra sword.
[Cross Moon]!
A red slash flew out and went straight to Yuko. Yuko just opened her mouth and used her trait skill [Burning Shout]. A sea of flames came out of her mouth and it covered the entire arena. This was several times stronger and heavier than her normal trait skill.
The sea flames swallowed the red slash and it disappeared.
Swoosh!!
"Damn! Yuko..." Souta couldn't help but cursed when he saw that the flames swallowed his skill. He knew that the best feram in her body amplified her trait skill to the point that it could kill him if he didn't do anything.
He waved his hand and ten fist-size black balls appeared behind him. It was the level 10 [Gravitational Ball] spells.
Ohm!
The gravitational field immediately formed around him and it tried to deflect Yuko's powerful trait skill.
The Elder Treant who was watching the battle quickly created a barrier around the stage. The firepower of Yuko's skill was very destructive as it took the characteristics of their lord, the destruction queen.
Swoosh!
The lower rank monsters would get caught up in the aftershocks of their battle if the Elder Treant didn't create a barrier.
The flames dissipated and Souta was still standing in his position without a hint of a scratch. Somehow the [Gravitational Ball] managed to protect him from Yuko's attack.
"Shit! I don't know if the gravitational field can last against her attacks!" Souta said as the ground turned black and several black tentacles rose. He also scattered [Shadow Ball] spell around the field for insurance. He could instantly escape from danger using this spell.
The black tentacles moved and it stretched out towards Yuko.
Swoosh!!
Yuko growled and a large concentration of best feram gathered in her arms. She waved it towards the black tentacles.
Boom!
Her powerful attack destroyed the tentacles but she couldn't destroy all of them. She jumped in the air to avoid the tentacles and once again used the [Burning Shout] trait skill.
Bam!
"Yuko's trait skill became a super AOE skill after using the blessing of a monster lord," Souta muttered as he saw that the flames swallowed everything inside the barrier. He couldn't escape so he could only defend himself.
Once again, the gravity field protected him from being burned by Yuko's skill.
'Five, no, three more burning skill and it would break the gravity field around me.' Souta thought as he dashed towards Yuko without hesitation. He couldn't win in a long-range battle. Although he was a mage he didn't have spells to end someone quickly. Most of his spells were crowd control to help him in his battle.
Yuko raised her left arm when Souta arrived in front of her. She brought it down along with the large concentration of best feram.
Swoosh!
Souta saw it and he quickly moved his body to the side.
Boom!
The ground collapses as her attack destroyed it.
"The f.u.c.k!! Her strength stat also increased to the point that she could destroy me in five hits!" Souta cursed as he glanced at the destroyed arena. He clenched his finger around the vajra sword and swung it towards Yuko.
Bang!
"What the!?" Souta opened his eyes widely as he saw that the blade of his sword didn't cut her body. The best feram around her body was protecting her like his gravity field.
Swoosh!
Yuko swung her other arm at Souta but Souta disappeared from his position and reappeared behind her.
Swoosh!
He just needed to avoid her attack if her attack was so powerful. The [Shadow Ball] spell was great for escaping and avoiding.
"Close combat it is..." Souta said as a black cloak formed around his body. The [Shadow Cloak] would increase the power of darkness attribute spell and combat arts by ten percent. With this, his [Gravitational Ball] and [Shadow Bind] spells would last longer.
With the help of [Gravitational Ball] spell, he engaged in a close-quarter combat with Yuko.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He slashed Yuko with the intent to defeat her. A large concentration of mana was coating the vajra sword while using the [Crimson Moon] and [Cross Moon] skills.
He slashed his sword at Yuko like a madman and every time Yuko launched an attack he would teleport to her blind spot using the [Shadow Ball].
As expected, Yuko's fighting skill wasn't that great. She always dominated her opponents using brute strength. Her movements were predictable.
Swoosh!
Yuko swung her arm once again and Souta ducked down to avoid it. He then slashed his sword at her belly before teleporting on her back.
'Good, I already broke her best feram armor.' Souta nodded inwardly as he gathered his mana in his sword before slashing it at her back.
Swoosh!
Yuko turned around to face him while Souta stepped back in case she attacked him. She moved her feet and chased after him but she felt her feet sink on the ground.
"Mu?" She looked down and saw the ground turned into a pool of mud.
Souta saw an opportunity. He slashed his sword and used [Cross Moon] skill.
Bang!
The red slash landed on Yuko's huge body before it exploded. He then teleported behind her and repeatedly swung his sword. Souta had [High Energy Resistance] so he could somehow cast a spell under the pressure of Yuko's best feram. If she was a true third evolution monster that used the [Monster Orb Release] then Souta would have a hard time casting a spell.
Yuko looked at the pool of mud and opened her mouth. A large amount of flames burst from her mouth.
"Not good," Souta said as he immediately stopped slashing his sword. He quickly jumped away but the flames still swallowed his whole body.
Boom!
Raeshka was watching the battle with a smile on her face. She could see that Yuko was stronger than Souta but not that much. She couldn't overwhelm Souta with pure strength.
Souta's strength, speed, and attack were weaker than Yuko but his spells were tricky. Yuko couldn't even touch him.
"If she could hold him then she could easily defeat Souta but Souta had that teleportation spell which is interesting," Raeshka commented while watching the battle.
By watching the battle, she could deduct that Yuko lacks battle experience. Her movements and attacks were predictable. She mostly handled everything using brute strength. She was clearly stronger than Souta but too bad for her Souta was an expert in fighting monsters. He knew how to position himself and attack in the blind spot. He was utilizing Yuko's weakness to his advantage and that's commendable.
"She won't win this battle. The blessing has a time limit as it couldn't be used infinitely." Raeshka said as she looked at Souta.
Boom!
The gravity field around Souta broke but the [Shadow Cloak] absorbed some of the damage that he received from Yuko's trait skill. He consumed a large amount of his mana by using the gravity field nonstop. He was also using [Shadow Ball] and [Shadow Bind] spells repeatedly.
Swoosh!
Yuko emerged from the flames in front of him and it caught Souta off guard. Before he could switch with his [Shadow Ball], Yuko's paw was already at his side.
Bang!
The [Shadow Cloak] around him broke into tiny pieces and he spat a mouthful of blood. He flew away and disappeared before crashed on the barrier.
Yuko quickly turned around when she saw him disappeared. But she found that Souta wasn't behind her. Souta always teleported behind her but now it was different.
A red slash landed on her body from above.
Bang!
Souta landed in front of her and he used [Stab]. He pierced the best feram around her body. After that, he used [Crimson Moon], [Cross Moon], and [Stab] respectively. He didn't stop and continued to launch an attack like a storm until Yuko went down.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After some time, the vajra sword fell on the ground. Souta didn't have the strength to move his body nor grip the dark grade sword. His ribs were fractured in that one attack and he loses more than half of his health points.
Yuko's attack was much more lethal than he expected. If he didn't have the [Shadow Cloak] then he would go down in one attack.
Cough! Cough!
Souta fell on his knees as he coughed a mouthful of blood. "Damn, Yuko... She's far stronger than me using the blessing and... she hasn't fully grasp its power... If she fully controlled the power of blessing... I alone wouldn't be enough... to fight her..."
He was just lucky this time that Yuko was still familiarizing herself with her strength. It was still her first time using the power of blessing, after all.
