It was such a powerful sword strike and when Emery heard the little creature’s shrieking sound right after receiving the attack, he was terrified.
Twik managed to save him from the powerful strike. The attack resulted in a large cut on Twik’s body. This enraged Emery, his chest was bursting with emotions. What scared him the most was that it appeared he couldn’t sense the little guy anymore.
His fey transformation gave him enhanced emotion. As a result of what happened to Twik just now, both his anxiety and his anger were multiplied.
Arrggghh! Howl!
[Battle Power increased by 15]
On the other hand, the female acolyte was about to swing another slash at him. This time, though, Emery certainly wouldn’t let her.
Within his anger and his enhanced spell power, Emery pulled all of the [Jade Root] he had created. Dozens of dark green roots were quickly pulled and woven together to form a giant cocoon-like wall to cover his area from the flying projectiles. At the same time, the dark green roots forced Fei Ling closer to him.
Emery didn’t waste the chance now that the female acolyte was within his grasp, he quickly grabbed her neck tightly, while the root entangled her body.
With a ragged breath, his deadly stare on her gave off a terrifying aura, while the grip of his hand on her neck was also getting tighter.
”Look what you have done!” He shouted at Fei Ling, the veins in his neck could be clearly seen.
He was so angry to the point of wanting to twist her neck in two with his hands but he was still able to resist the temptation.
However, he had enough of the mud that was still sticking to his feet and arms.
Aargggg!
[Twilight Transformation]
Emery unleashed it all. As his body began to enlarge, the previous white fur turned to pitch-black, and his hair turned all white. Both of his battle power and spirit force were enhanced to the max.
[Battle Power increased by 40 points]
[Battle Power 244 (361)]
As his body had become nearly twice the size of his previous one, his hands also became bigger and more powerful. As a result, his grip on her became increasingly tight making the female acolyte choke.
Now that his strength had increased to the maximum level, the additional power made Emery able to forcefully pull his right arm out of the mud. Following that, the first thing he did was to pierce his fully charged sword into the muddy ground and unleashed his [Shadow Edge] within.
Baaaammmm!
As powerful darkness element energy poured into the earth, the ground began to tremble. It certainly hurt the earth acolyte, but still barely enough to stop him. It was proven by how his feet were released for a second but the mud was still trying to grab his feet back inside.
Fei Ling, on the other hand, quickly grabbed his wrist and casted a spell that made her own body all turn into an ice block to protect herself, while trying to freeze his arm as well.
However the girl’s spell power was not enough to make it happen, it only made Emery angry.
”Urrrghhh!” Once again, he was pissed.
At the same time, he could sense heat beyond the wall of root he had created. Apparently, Bradley had finally decided to join the fight again.
Eventually, his wall of regenerating [Jade Root] would diminish and multiple bombardments would once again charge at him.
This has finally turned into a six against one battle and this was still without the inclusion of the powerful Atlas, who might join the battle at any moment.
The fight became increasingly fierce, Emery had to think of a way to finish this battle quickly, otherwise his life could really be at risk.
His first problem was the earth acolyte on his feet. Even his powerful [Shadow Edge] wasn’t effective enough to create an impact. The earth acolyte had a strange earth technique that could restrain his 300 plus battle power. This definitely was not just simple earth magic.
To deal with it, he thought about using the [Dark Matter] spell to create a powerful blast that would blow the mud apart, but he realized the spell was probably too long to channel during such frenzy conditions. Emery tried to find of a much faster and better alternative.
With his sword pierced on the ground, Emery decided to take out his other weapon, a three-bone blade that came out of his knuckles, [Blade Claw] and pierced the blade into the mud.
He could swear there was a chuckle from the ground as if the earth acolyte was laughing at his attempt. However, Emery wasn’t finished, as he later said,
”Laugh at this!”
Right after, he used his newest fey warlock innate skill [Spirit Devour]. Just in a matter of seconds, the laugh suddenly stopped and turned into a scream of pain.
Emery was well aware of the damage this skill would do to his opponent, but at that moment, he had no luxury of choice. With his opponent’s strange power, this attack seemed to be the most effective and it took only a second to know he was right.
As soon as the skill was casted, he once again felt the weird sensation of energy being pulled into him. There were a few seconds of tremors before the muddy ground returned to its usual dirt and a figure crawled out of the ground gasping in pain.
At the same time, Emery’s cocoon jade root was already burned to ashes, allowing light to shine through, showing his opponent, who was ready to attack him again and also the earth acolyte who was finally laying on the ground incapacitated.
Seeing the scene in front of them, Armand and Bradley were both taken aback, asking in a surprised tone,
”What did he do?!”
”How did he escape from Abe’s earth formation?”
At this moment, Emey once again checked on the little creature on his arm
”Twik… Twik… are you alright, little guy?”
However, he still was not able to sense the little creature’s presence.
Emery was once again enraged. Although he had already escaped from their trap, he had zero plan to escape. Since these people came for a lesson, he was more than willing to give them one.
He shifted his gaze and looked at Fei Ling, who was still holding on to his wrist with an evil grin. On the contrary, the female acolyte had turned panicked after seeing what he did to the earth acolyte.
