Second World Chapter 1892. Three-headed Devil

Chapter 1892. Three-headed Devil

Jeanny blew away Mammon's weapon using Seven Spears a.s.saulting Heaven. But if she only relied on her normal strength to perform the spear art, she wouldn't have achieved the same feat. Mammon's weapon would probably just stagger a little. What had boosted her strength was a buff skill.

This skill was also the one giving her the draconic set armor on her body. The skill was named Dragon G.o.d's Protection. It was Dragon Lord's level 80 skill. The skill gave Jeanny superb defense and enhanced her overall stats.

Aside from improving the user's stats and defense, this skill also enhanced the Dragon Lord Reflex. Under normal circ.u.mstances, the response skill slowed the time to 30% of its original speed. Under Dragon G.o.d's Protection, Dragon Lord Reflex slowed time to only 5% of normal time flow. Additionally, if Jeanny performed a counterattack during this moment, the counterattack was guaranteed to be a critical hit.

Mammon's surprise only lasted an instant. The grip on his monk's spade tightened. The weapon stopped slipping away. He then brought the weapon back with blinding speed.

In Jeanny's eyes, the weapon slowed to almost a stop when it got close. She easily moved her body to the side to evade the slash. She spun in the air while dodging. In her perception, she was also moving very slowly. It was just her perception that sped up. At the end of her spin, she thrust her spear just as Mammon's weapon moved past her. Her spear stabbed into Mammon's hand that was holding his weapon. The stab was again using Seven Spears a.s.saulting Heaven.

Following the system's influence, the stab was a critical hit. It multiplied the power of Jeanny's spear art by a great deal.

"Raarrgghh…!!" Mammon cried in pain.

The demons nearby were startled by the cry. This was the first time they heard that sound from Mammon, like, ever.

A dark, thick liquid flowed out from the spot where Jeanny had stabbed. The liquid was like tar. This was the devil's blood. Jeanny's stab not only caused a critical hit, but it also managed to wound Mammon's hand.

The wound was small. Jeanny's spear failed to pierce deep enough. The black blood stopped flowing in just one second. While the stab hurt, the shame of getting wounded by an outworlder hurt more.

"Graahhh…!!!" Mammon roared in fury. His anger was so great he couldn't express it in words. His monk's spade started spinning while he continued roaring.

Mammon's weapon moved at a speed imperceptible to normal eyes. Dark aura also followed his slashes. These dark slashes formed a net that blocked Jeanny's escape paths. Before she knew it, it was like hundreds of Mammon's weapons came a.s.sailing her from all directions.

Jeanny used Hundred Spears. Though Mammon's slashes were impossibly fast. Each time the slashes got near, she could see the weapon due to Dragon Lord Reflex. Her spear accurately stabbed at the incoming slash and repelled it. This went on for uncountable times.

Though she successfully stopped Mammon from landing a clean hit, she knew she couldn't continue like this. She suffered a little damage from each clash. This showed Mammon's damage value surpa.s.sed hers by a great deal. That was also after taking her high defense into account.

The damage from the clashes continued to build up. Her HP bar was down to half in just a short time.

David came to her rescue. He barged in while shooting rapidly. The rapid shooting was from Bulletstorm skill. The bullets from that skill accurately hit the slashes aimed at Jeanny. The slashes were stopped while he flew at high speed. He grabbed Jeanny and pulled her out of Mammon's net of slashes.

David could perform this feat due to using a buff skill, Super Soldier. This was the beginning skill of the Celestial Commander. Aside from increasing his stats to make him faster and stronger, this skill also slowed the time in his perception. This enabled him to aim accurately during the rapid shooting of Bulletstorm. Additionally, this skill granted knockback effects to all his shots. That's why his bullets were able to stop Mammon's slashes momentarily.

Mammon was displeased his prey escaped his clutch. He wanted to give chase, but he sensed a strong attack from his rear. He swiveled back while swinging his weapon. He was forced one step back from the impact. His opponent recoiled back more than ten meters, so he was still stronger. Yet, getting forced to take one step back stoked his fury again.

The one who had clashed with him was Spring Crown. A s.h.i.+mmering aura enveloped him. His Weapon G.o.d also had a buff skill. A skill for level 80 Weapon G.o.d, Weapon G.o.d Descent. This skill enhanced his overall stats and increased the damage dealt by all his weapon skills. It also lengthened the window when the red dots enlarged on his opponent's weak points.

Mammon sensed a second attacker, but due to the stagger, he failed to block the attack from the second attacker. The second attacker was a human-sized broadsword. It hit his face before flying up. It then transformed into a giant axe and sliced down.

"Grahh…!" Mammon slashed his weapon. The axe was smashed to the side. Damage number appeared on the axe.

The axe stopped mid-flight before transforming into a humanoid automaton. It had different weapons for arms.

"A spirit weapon?" Mammon uttered after seeing the second attacker. He had never seen a spirit weapon with such a form.

While he was still wondering about this spirit weapon, another came stabbing. Mammon's mana sense let him dodge this second one. The second spirit weapon was a humanoid automaton with spears for arms and legs. Six javelins floated around the automaton. They stabbed at enemies within range.

"Pin him down!" Jeanny exclaimed. She rushed back after drinking a recovery potion. The second spirit weapon was hers.

Both Spring Crown and she had used their buff skills. They fought Mammon at close range from two sides while their spirit weapons stole opportunities to land attacks. David was back to delivering damage from range. David summoned his s.h.i.+eld drone to add his firepower.

While fighting, four extra arms holding different weapons sprouted from Spring Crown's back. An apparition also appeared above him. This was Blade Dancer's Asura and Berserker's Ancestral Possession. Spring Crown could use these two skills because of his level 50 Weapon G.o.d skill, Skill Master.

This skill gave him access to the skills from other melee cla.s.ses. Every ten levels gave him access to another skill. At max level, he could input three skills from other melee cla.s.ses. The level of these skills followed the level of his Skill Master. He couldn't change the skills he had selected during combat. So, he had to prepare beforehand what three skills to use before the battle.

Freddie didn't stay idle. Aside from sending range attacks, he cast World Warden's level 50 skill, World Spirits. At max level, thirty healing spirits came out to follow and heal nearby allies. Four latched onto Jeanny, Spring Crown, David, and him. Two went to the Soul Swan and Leda, who fought nearby. The rest spread further, looking for allies to heal.

These world spirits countered the DOT from Mammon's Absolute Darkness Domain that was still eating at their HPs. ???ℯ????????.???

"You four are becoming more infuriating than a nuisance," Mammon uttered. He used Whirlwind Slash, forcing all his opponents back.

"You have been getting free hits for so long. Let me give you something in return!"

He lifted his Monk's Spade before bringing it down. A dark crescent energy came out of that slash. The dark crescent was thick and large. It rushed forward while leaving a long trail of broken earth. Its target was David.

David wanted to move away, but the dark crescent emitted a shockwave that made it difficult for him to move. His s.h.i.+eld drone went in front of him to protect him.

Spring Crown's spirit weapon in the form of a spear pierced through the pressure generated by the dark crescent. Its speedy flight let it overtake the rus.h.i.+ng crescent energy. It came in between David and the crescent energy before transforming into a large buckler.

The crescent energy crashed into the buckler. The buckler alone was unable to stop the powerful attack. It was flung away and suffered high damage. The crescent energy continued onward and hit David's s.h.i.+eld drone, shattering it in the process. It finally hit David, who blocked it using his Fallen Apostle's Gun.

David's HP fell to more than half. If not for Spring Crown's spirit weapon and his s.h.i.+eld drone, he might have lost his life from that dark crescent.

A dark aura from the dark crescent latched onto him. This aura continued to devour his HP. His equipment's durability also dropped a great deal. If he had not blocked the attack using his indestructible gun, his armor would have probably been destroyed. Freddie cast Advanced Cure to purge the affliction.

Mammon grunted. These pests were truly persistent. He cursed in his mind. He attempted to lunge toward David to finish the job, but something burst out of the ground and held his leg. He looked down and saw one of his legs entangled by vines.

The vines were from Freddie's non-standard skill, entangling Vines. He cast it after curing David.

Mammon pulled the leg that was restrained. The vines easily snapped from his strength. Yet, that short halt let Jeanny and Spring Crown approach again. The two stopped Mammon from going to finish David.

"This is it! I'm done playing with you!" Mammon shouted.

He whistled. His two dark wolves that were fighting Leda and the Soul Swan came running back to him. The two reattached themselves to his shoulder.

"You should be honored I let you see my true form…!!!" Mammon exclaimed.

A transformation happened to his body. His body became even bigger than he already was. Hairs started growing over his previously scaly skin. Even the four wings on his back were covered in fur. His demonic face elongated. His face became more like the two wolf heads on his shoulders, while the two wolf heads grew horns and became more demonic. His monk's spade dissolved and became a pair of dark claw weapons.

When his transformation was over, he became a three-headed devil werewolf.
