Chapter 745: Chapter 361: Farewell to the Past
Zoe dashed forward, and around her, suspended metal rings served as a sword rack hanging two swords, while two more were in her hands.
These two swords were the Dragon Rock Armor Core Sword and the Mechanical Dragon Sea Song Sword obtained not long ago.
The Earth Sword slashed at the Annihilation Knight’s armor; under the same tier, this armor couldn’t withstand the blades forged and tempered in the flames of the Mechanical Creation Furnace.
The armor’s gap spewed out purplish-black flesh, which was then sealed by the Earth Blade surging from the Dragon Rock Armor Core Sword’s edge.
Zoe spun around to evade the opponent’s heavy punch, raised her sword at the knight’s feet, and instantly a mass of earth rock formed and erupted explosively, disrupting his balance.
With a change of steps and force from her waist, the Mechanical Dragon Sea Song Sword thrust forward, while the Cursed Swordsman’s Armor generated a Water Mirror Image, slicing the other armor with phantom water blades.
With hands as quick as lightning, she mounted the dual swords on her sword rack, holding the Wind Breath Sword and False Flame’s Gift in her hands, wind blades and flames intertwined, adding a cross-shaped gash.
The young girl’s swordsmanship was not for show, but in the Elemental Swordsman’s legacy, if one’s magic power could continuously circulate among the four elements, they would gradually ascend in battle, becoming ever stronger. This is the best reason for equipping weapons of four attributes.
The Earth Serpent swung its steel tail, knocking away a group of Star Soul Fragments, the Thunder of Annihilation they carried unsettling it, suppressing even the Light of the Star Soul.
Andasu had already released the Blood Fragrance, but it had no effect on these monsters. She stepped forward, activating the Illusion Body effect of the Nether Lamp Shadow Suit, blending into the environment.
Behind Dorothy, the flower vines grew lushly, shooting vine balls that expanded upon landing, becoming summoned creatures created by the various branches.
The Demonbloom Lashers of the Star Crystal Branch, the Demon-Born Flower Dragon Dog of the Dragon Branch, and the Demon-Born Flower divine Bird of the Divine Branch galloped and soared, transforming the area around the Half Elf into a kingdom of the Forest Fairy.
The vines of the Demonbloom Lashers and the Dragon Dog’s destructive sharp teeth toppled small fragments, while the divine Birds scattered Holy Magic Bullets for range attacks on these small monsters.
More flower branches grew, entwining. Though the Branch of Prosperity had no summoned creatures, under Dorothy, they entwined together, encircling her lower body and waist, lifting her to form a Flower Vine Beast.
The Flower Beast’s sharp claws knocked away each Star Soul Fragment, assisting the Earth Serpent.
Anastasia let out a dragon’s roar, and Zoe paused, turning to Alulu beside her, saying, "Lulu, can you hold him off for now?"
"Okay." Alulu nodded, her eyes emanating a divine light that seemed to cast a halo, burning with the divine Fire of the summer flame.
The Goddess was blessing her for victory in today’s battle. Somewhere unseen, the blessing power representing midsummer’s struggle enveloped the young girl, igniting a blazing firelight brilliance.
The purplish-black flesh in front of the Paladin Maiden was burned to a wretched scream, shrinking backward.
Zoe took the chance to retreat swiftly.
"What do you think?" Dorothy asked as she saw Zoe departing from beside Alulu, who was grappling with the Annihilation Knight.
"Anna says killing the monster that way won’t work and wants me back to coordinate with her."
A flash of Light of the Star Soul enveloped Zoe, transforming her into the Holy Snake Stance, floating like an ancient Holy Princess amidst the erupting Light of the Star Soul, with mysterious golden runes emerging around her and the Earth Serpent alike.
The Holy Snake Young Girl raised the Dragon Rock Armor Core Sword high, synchronizing her strength with the Earth Serpent.
Red, blue, and green gemstone lights flickered continuously in the Earth Serpent’s eyes and crown, finally converging into a high-brightness beam.
Anastasia did not directly shoot the beam, gathering it instead in the slot without an Energy Source on the girl’s sword, instantly illuminating the entire sword with gemstone light, resembling a conical crystal Magic Staff.
Zoe’s eyes shone brilliantly. She pointed her Long Sword at the Annihilation Knight, pouring out an energy torrent, the Starlight Flame engulfing the enemy, surging into its interior through the armor gap sliced earlier, igniting and bursting instantly, seeping from the armor gaps on its limbs, incinerating the ferocious and pitiable knight into ashes.
On the other side, two knights were also taken down by their companions.
With this delay, Li Ang’s magic power finished condensing, completing his casting.
Raising the Orichalcum Staff head forward, the Decomposition Light Wave pierced through space, drilling into the Holy Sanctuary.
...
"Hey, witch, you’re a witch, right? Just now on the plain, I saw you hunting Desert Beasts with others. Those few magic effects were crucial, were they from your Curse Art?"
Li Ang, busy tallying up quest gains, looked up to see a cheerful and attractive, golden-haired young man carrying a Great Sword standing in front of him.
"It’s my Curse Art."
Li Ang was a bit surprised. He’d only ever been mocked for his so-called Curse Art, lacking attack power and unable to heal or strengthen others willingly. Yet here someone was praising him. Was there some conspiracy?
"Hey, are you seriously taking two steps back? Do I look like a villain?"
The young man chuckled awkwardly twice.
"What do you want?"
"Uh, there’s a group of us going to Echo Rock Beach to complete a commission, and we need a support. Are you interested?"
"Anywhere to earn money is the same. But do you know my situation?"
As a transmigrator, Li Ang had chosen to study as a witch under duress, believing himself a competent support with unconventional strengths and weaknesses compared to regular support. However, after suffering a few times from the scorn of various people, he always clarified his situation before cooperating with anyone, ensuring they fully accepted it to avoid problems.
