Chapter 399: Black Liquid Man (2)
Nonetheless, I had some expectations of the power of Ice Breath, but it failed to break through the black liquid shield the black liquid man spread in front of me.
Instead, an enormous amount of black energy poured out of the black liquid shield he had created, then the black liquid turned into plain transparent water and dropped to the ground. At the same time, his body definitely decreased in size a bit.
At that moment, the black liquid human shouted, [Who the hell are you? How can you do this?]
“Are you curious? Then how about we reveal each other’s secrets one by one?”
So far these bizarre creatures would rather die than talk to me. So I thought that it was not a bad idea to get some information like this.
But this black liquid guy refused.
[Hey, jerk, do you dare to deal with me on an equal footing because you have some amazing capabilities?]
“Well, I don’t think I have any reason to deal with you like this, given your level.”
Obviously, he was strong. I needed 1 skill point to upgrade Ice Shield to level 7, so it was still level 5, but he broke through it instantly with one attack.
But that didn’t mean I was weak. Even though it would take some time, I knew that I could beat him if I kept attacking him to drain his black energy.
In the meanting, I would keep avoiding his attacks using Blink with zero cooldown.
But I thought I was being too optimistic about the situation.
[Hahaha. Alright. Even though you’re a jerk, I will admit you have some amazing abilities unlike the other jerks. So let me absorb you as nourishment! Shake and amplify!]
At that moment, the black liquid that constituted his body started to swell up by making waves. At the same time, he made great waves as he was blazing up, even though he was obviously made of liquid.
[Cast Shadow of Death!]
[You have ‘All Buffs, All Debuffs’.
-The Shadow of Death doesn’t affect you.]
[Oh my …]
The black liquid guy cleared his throat, moaning a bit.
Instead of dwelling on it, I opened my mouth right away because this fight might be longer than I expected.
“Ice Tornado! Ice Punishment!”
Wheeeeeeeeng.
He also immediately counterattacked.
[Damn it! Touch of Death!]
Since I had Blink with zero cooldown, I moved behind him right away.
Then I turned to my more powerful skills.
“Blizzard! Pouring Hail!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
Honestly, I didn’t have to avoid it because I was clearly different from other players who might have found it difficult to withstand one or two attacks from this guy.
But there was no need to get hit by his attacks, so I kept attacking him.
When my attacks bombarded him for almost a minute, he burst out in anger and opened his mouth.
[You irritating rat! Soar! Ring of Death!]
As soon as he shouted, a huge red barrier appeared from east to west, north to south, with him and me in the center.
At the same time, a message rang.
[You have entered the Ring of Seath.
– You cannot leave the ring until there is only one person left inside.]
So I looked around the ring. It was a pretty narrow space.
Only then did he open his mouth with a satisfied smile.
[Why don’t you run away like the rat you are? Vortex of Death!]
Wheeeeeeeng.
His frontal attack filled up the Ring of Death.
There was definitely no space for me to escape from it.
So I quietly opened my mouth, “Did you think I avoided your attacks because I was afraid?”
In the end, only one of the two of us inside can survive the Ring of Death.
I thought this choice was fortunate for me. Although I kept making provocative remarks to get information and focus his attention on me by driving him nuts, I had no choice but to pay attention to my allies who were being killed by the black liquid in the meantime. Fortunately, he made the battlefield include only the two of us which made me happy.
Of course, he must have set up this Ring of Death because he was confident that he would defeat me. But like him I was also confident of my victory.
Obviously, he was shocked to find that his debuff called Shadow of Death didn’t work, not to mention my Blink with zero cooldown.
Perhaps that’s why he installed this Ring of Death.
Anyway, the fight between us began right away.
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
Numerous black liquid droplets poured out of the Vortex of Death and splashed over my body endlessly. And I felt that my health obviously decreasing more than before
However, such a noticeable decrease in my health didn’t necessarily mean that I had suffered huge damage because I had the trait Mutual Growth, which was so good as to be called a scam, along with my other traits that I obtained as soon as I started playing Revival Legend. What’s more, I had as many as 13 titles including the Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever that I obtained when I was level 0. I also had lots of items that I thought were better than anybody else’s.
Because of this, I’ve never suffered so much damage that I was in a dangerous situation. The main reason was that I was never weak from the beginning.
Of course, there was an exception. I had once been attacked by a parasite, but it was totally out of my control.
In any case, it was true that the damage I suffered now was certainly greater than before, but it was not so big that I felt nervous enough to tremble in fear.
However, it was certain that this fight would be a protracted battle, so I built a barrier first because my mana was like a well of water that did not dry out no matter how much I used it.
“Ice Shield.”
Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!
Considering that the lowest skill that I had was level 3, level 5 Ice Shield was definitely included in the lower level skills that I possessed. But it held out well because of my high Intellect.
Then I attacked him from behind Ice Shield.
“Ice Storm! Ice Spear!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
Of course, he didn’t stand idle when he was attacked.
[Death Shield!]
Like me, he pulled out a black liquid shield and blocked my attack.
Bubble! Bubble! Bubble! Bubble! Bubble!
Each time he blocked my attack, bubbles of black liquid erupted from his shield, and at the same time, black energy came out of them.
It clearly suggested that he had suffered damage while defending against me.
So I had no regrets over my Ice Field because it was not invincible under any attack.
Clang!
After all, my Ice Shield was smashed to pieces after holding out for some time.
Then as the black liquid generated by the Vortex of Death was about to touch my body again, I shouted “Ice Weapon!”
[You have used level 3 Ice Weapon.
: The +8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword has been imbued with cold ice energy.]
To be honest, I had no intention of mounting melee attacks against him from the beginning because I didn’t have to, and the black liquid itself was very creepy to me.
But I was now trapped in the Ring of Death. Moreover, the black liquid flew in all directions due to the Vortex of Death he created, so I could not avoid it using Blink with zero cooldown. So if I was forced to confront him, I thought I should turn to melee attacks because I was not weak in melee even though I was an ice-type wizard.
