Voltaic Sandrazor Spiral stormed around the frozen body, shredding its scales and electrifying it all over while the Single Slash of Grand Burst exploded, blasting chunks of its flesh.
However, Pearl King Leviathan shattered the ice around the ocean and the remaining part of its body before it glowed, pulsing with power.
From the surrounding ocean, watery pearls started forming that soon became bigger and bigger, numbering exactly 100 as Almond counted with instant observation via his domain.
“What’s going on?”
“Something’s happening, and it’s related to the boss.”
“What is this snake-bitch doing now? I’m having a bad feeling.”
“Same…”
Everyone looked at the pearls and glowing body of Leviathan.
The others didn’t attack seeing this phenomenon and those who had already attacked chugged mana potions to recover.
Almond looked at the countdown and saw that fifteen seconds had passed by. They still needed to survive for forty-five seconds more.
As such, seeing the strange phenomenon happening, Almond waved his sword again, unleashing the same type of attack that he hadn’t named yet after chugging Mana’s potion as he wanted to disrupt it.
‘The last one stung my mind a bit, but that gave me a rough idea of how much power I should pack in my attacks to last long enough for one minute to take advantage of the buff,’ Almond’s eyes glinted as his slash struck the boss.
Shockingly, the attack didn’t injure the boss at all, and no updated score appeared in the sky. Instead, Almond noticed one of the one hundred pearls shattering.
The boss was still glowing as one more second passed by, and then something strange happened.
The boss shattered into mixed-colored sparks of dark blue and dark green while the 99 pearls flew and surrounded the island where the party was staying.
Almond acted with pre-cautious and teleported the group to another island.
Meanwhile, the pearls around their previous island cracked as 99 small versions of leviathans appeared, each one ten to thirty meters long, clearly having varying levels of pearls, but generally of three categories as per Almond’s observation.
“It looks like we’ll have to deal with the herd,” Lily’s eyes glinted with a hazy, dim, dark green glow as the withered wind danced around her. ‘This is a good time. Hard and dangerous enough to make me dance on death’s thread.’
Everyone saw the small versions of Leviathan traveling towards their island at a fast speed.
‘Amir, use the artifact!’ Almond used a magic whisper. ‘Lift everyone.’
Amir immediately took out the artifact and activated it, turning a large area around into the domain wind as he waved his hand and lifted everyone on waves of wind.
“Everyone, it’s time to attack and kill as many as we can! Close-range attackers, if you fall into the water, I’ll teleport you, so don’t worry about that.”
Hearing Almond’s words, everyone was fired up.
“It’s our turn,” Adrian grinned as he smashed his fists together and adorned his newly modified signature skill—Moltenheart Suit. Experience tales with empire
His fist became giant and rocky with cracks glowing in neon lavatic-red, and his body was also covered in a solid combat suit.
He was an anomaly who awakened flame element, unlike members of his Reben clan, who specialized in unarmed combat with Earth element as their main, but during his two-week training, he also awakened Earth element, reaching A-rank, while also comprehending Magma element Advance element synergized from Earth and Fire, with the help of Elemental Imprint.
The boon he selected was making his fists five times heavier while marking a target with Echoing Impact for 3 seconds, allowing him to activate the mark to deal the same damage as he dealt within those 3 seconds again.
He kicked the air and shot toward one of the large-class leviathans, attacking it with both of his fists while unleashing a burst of flame from his feet to boost his feet.
The other Leviathan who arrived nearby opened their mouths and unleashed either beams or bullets toward the party.
Almond defended with his Devouring Veil while a couple of duos were ready with their combo attacks.
Defending these attacks caused scores to appear in the sky as the score constantly as per defended attacks.
Meanwhile, the others prepared their attacks. The first to attack was another combo, made by a duo this time instead of a trio—Ron and Anya.
Ron conjured ten infernal chakrams using his S.C. Skill—Infernal Chakrams, which was also evolved thanks to the boon he selected, upgrading them into Demonic Infernal Chakrams with increased burning power and applying Nether Burn for 5 seconds.
The combo into this was Anya’s Silverstar Razors—small blades that attached to the foundational structure around his chakram.
Anya’s S-rank specialized class, Star Predator, was rather strange as it was related to space and hunting, giving her some peculiar skills. Silverstar Razors were the product of her S.C. skill—Silverstar Mercury, which conjured a unique, radiant liquid imbued with cosmic energy. This liquid could be shaped into any design Anya envisioned, with a distinct, class-related power tied to her Star Predator specialization developed into her creation.
The boon she selected enhanced Silverstar Mercuary so that it now developed two random unique powers into whatever design she created while enhancing those two powers significantly.
Silverstar Razors—the blades she combined with Ron’s Demonic Infernal Chakras acquired two powers: 1. Target-Tracking. 2. Melting Poison.
The ten chakrams flew ten different Leviathans, and three of the monsters tried to dodge, but there was no escaping as the chakrams struck and spun in their flesh, shredding their scales and bones. Anya’s Silverstar Razors melted and seeped into the targets, turning into poison that dealt corrosive damage to their internal
The scores flashed in the sky constantly.
Xavier unleashed destructive light beams solo as he wasn’t in any combo, and solo was best with his combat style.
Kayla had transformed into a Petalfiend Ivy Spirit—a giant monster flower with poisonous pollen and blade-leaf attacks laced with poison. This skill was also boosted by a boon to make its powers more powerful.
Emma was infusing the dangerous poisons that were further boosted by the boon she selected into blade leaves released by Kayla that attacked other Leviathans that were coming around the island’s other side.
Julian, Jian, and Mira who were close range and had no combo went to another area of the island twenty meters away, attacking the Leviathans.
Jian became a giant and jumped on injured Leviathans to rip them apart with his claw-like hands and used his skill—Flesh Explosion, to throw them and explode on other Leviathans.
Mira was like an assassin whose shadow freely traveled across the ocean using her S.C. Skill—Shadow Shift. The boon she selected nullified all consumption of Shadow Shift while removing cooldown, so she could teleport constantly through darkness and shadows. The blade attacks she inflicted were also empowered by her newly learned Vaylith Element, a mix of Wind and Darkness that made her attacks more lethal with corroding defense and faster just with the normal effect of Vaylith element.
Meanwhile, Julian’s heavy sword packed enough power to deform and cut Leviathans coming near while deflecting their attacks with his primary class that evolved into Heavilist Swordweaver at the Tournament and blooming talent with training that allowed him to master his new class skill to a high degree—Heavilist Flow: Increasing weight of his sword, and transferring that weight to his attacks at double the amount. The boon he selected increased transferred weight by 10 times, making each swing of his sword devastating.
Roken was enjoying the battle while just providing only one boost to everyone from his C-rank primary class’s buff-type skill—Steady Aura: Increasing everyone’s body coordination by 10% and keeping their forms 20% more stable.
But more than all of them, Lily was the one who truly began a dance of death over the Leviathans…
