NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 127: White Scorpion
With Arthur's ability, he pointed his hand forward to cast purple magic from the magic circle before his palm.
Sara joined in. She reached out and brought up two black chains from both palms. The chains stretched straight ahead and shackled the White Scorpion's body firmly.
With one hand motion, like pulling an object, Sara knocked the monster down and made it lie on the ground.
Even so, the amount of damage dealt was not significant. The monster's HP bar was still green, with four HP bars.
"Karen!" Arthur ordered. Karen nodded in understanding.
The woman drew her fire sword and sprinted, the speed of her steps increasing every second. Arthur stared intently at the fire sword.
He felt an intense flame magic aura rising and blazing in the area around the blade.
With her talent, Karen leaped into the sky and swung her flaming sword up and down. A damage panel appeared before Karen as the woman attacked the monster and jumped back to Arthur's side.
[Damage +35000]
[Monster: White Scorpion]
[Leve: 97]
[HP: 80000/115000] [-35000]
Arthur smiled. Since ice was a change of element from the water base element, flames could be a powerful element in defeating the White Scorpion.
"How was it? Can you attack it again?" asked Arthur, still pointing his right hand forward.
"I don't know. I need to watch the situation to attack it again," Karen replied.
The White Scorpion hissed as if to show that it didn't like how things were going. The monster was seen stomping its feet on the ground, shaking it and causing many rocks from the cave roof to fall.
Arthur stopped his magic and focused his protective magic upwards, protecting everyone in the place.
The falling boulders were blocked by Arthur's purple protective magic, the boulders vaporized as soon as they came into contact.
'Luckily, that monster doesn't have a regen effect. We can defeat it by combining forces,' Arthur replied.
After seeing no more rocks falling on his head, Arthur dispelled the purple protective magic and stepped forward close to Sara and Niam.
"Do you have a plan?" asked Niam.
"We attack it with the best long-range magic we have."
"But does that kill it instantly?" asked Sara.
"I don't know. That much HP might require two combo attacks," replied Arthur.
The 13th Squad had six people, while Niam's Squad had five. There were a total of 11 people in this place. Five of them had good attack skills: Arthur, Karen, Sara, Niam, and Hugo.
The remaining six acted as support, including Mona and Thalenia. They all began to line up according to their capabilities.
[Talent Activated]
[Sub Talent Activated]
[Claws of Darkness]
[MP -28000]
[Name: Aaron]
[MP: 329000/357000] [-28000]
Arthur was the first to unleash the power of his talent. Niam and Hugo gasped in surprise. They both felt that the magic energy fluctuations in Arthur's talent were very strong, different from before when they first met.
Sara and Karen responded with nods. They stared ahead and prepared their sub talents, a powerful ranged attack against monsters like the White Scorpion.
Karen brought up her fire sword talent, displaying 10 swords burning in flames. She was ready to land her second attack on the monster.
Sara was ready with two chains with sharp edges. The woman was ready to pierce the scorpion's body and deal significant damage.
Niam and Hugo had summoned their magic talents, Arthur felt the four beside him ready to attack the monster to the best of their abilities. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
With a forward swing, Arthur sent three scythe slashes belonging to the lion's claw to dart toward the scorpion monster, followed by attacks from the others.
[Damage +54500]
[Monster: White Scorpion]
[Leve: 97]
[HP: 25500/115000] [-54500]
With just one sub-talent, Arthur had already taken half of the monster's total current HP. However, he could not defeat it in a single attack. That made a last hit unlikely.
Karen sent her attack forward, and the swords dug into the monster's body, which dealt enough damage. Sara, Hugo, and Niam didn't want to be outdone.
[Monster: White Scorpion]
[Leve: 97]
[HP: 0/115000] [-64500]
'Even the combined strength of four people managed to deal slightly more damage than Arthur's individual damage. How strong is this guy really?' Niam asked as he saw the damage system panel appear before him.
When attacks were simultaneous like this, only the system would decide who got the last hit before the monster died. Arthur glanced at them because he felt one would get it, not him.
[DING! Congratulations on getting the last hit]
[EXP +56000]
[DING! Congratulations on leveling up]
[Level 66 -> Level 67]
[TP +28000]
[WARNING! Talent Point is full. Immediately do Talent Ascension]
[RL +20000]
[Item Obtained]
[3 Crystal MP Level 3]
[2 HP Potion Level 4]
[4 MP Elixir Level 2]
[3 Blue Amethyst Gem]
[4 Water Element Beast Fragment Level 2]
Arthur turned his head to the side. It was not Hugo and Niam who got it, nor was it Sara, but Karen. Apparently, Karen's flame sword attack managed to kill the monster before the other attacks hit it.
[DING! Congratulations, you have participated in the fight]
[EXP +15200]
[TP +7600]
[RL +5000]
Even though Arthur didn't defeat it directly, the damage he dealt to the monster in battle was still counted as a contribution by the system. He gained EXP, TP, and RL even though he got no other items.
Karen smiled happily, jumping for joy as she stepped forward. Not only had she leveled up, but Karen had gotten items and a few other things.
What Arthur said was true, according to Karen. It would be a waste if the 13th squad didn't clear the monsters along the route to the floor boss. This opportunity could allow them to level up and gain abilities easily.
"Congratulations on getting the last hit," Niam said, stepping closer to Arthur and Karen.
Karen cleared her throat, then said yes with a smile and a thank you. Arthur reached out to shake Niam's hand. Niam's squad no longer had to worry about the monster threat.
"We don't plan to challenge the floor boss. At the next intersection, we will turn right," Niam replied.
"Do you have a map?" asked Arthur. Niam shook his head.
"Exploring the maze with a map is easy, but adventuring without knowing the direction will be fun and challenging. Isn't that right?" Niam asked.
Arthur smiled slightly while responding with a soft nod. The two separated after the white scorpion monster died. Niam's squad took the route to the right, while the 13th Squad took the route to the left.
Sara was still wondering how many monsters they would face again. Before Arthur could reply to Sara's words, they were immediately confronted with two large white bear monsters.
[Monster Details]
[Monster: Snow Fang Bear]
[Level: 96]
[HP: 110000/110000]
[MP: 115000/115000]
[Element: Water]
Arthur turned his head to the side with a bitter smile, seeing Sara shocked at directly meeting another monster.
"Do you need my help?"
