[Burning Sword(****)]
//Third Movement
<<<PURGATORY SLASH>>
The third movement of the Burning sword art was released point blank at the Frost Crawlers' face, producing a large boom sound and flinging the spider away.
It landed on its feet and glared at the bastard that had sneak attacked it, only to find an orange-haired boy sweating profusely as he held a sword clad in flame in his hand.
"You..hah..you okay?"
He said while gasping for breath.
He looked extremely tired.
"You came!"
As he heard the glad voice of the pink-haired girl beside him, he flashed her a smile for a moment and immediately focused his attention on the monster before him.
They both locked eyes, Elijah's two scarlet eyes stared into the deep red 8 eyes of the Spider.
The spider raised two of its front legs and they began to glow, upon seeing this Elijah immediately rushed towards it with his feet covered in fire providing him the necessary momentum to go at a blinding speed.
Two spikes of ice larger than a human body materialized in front of the spider's raised legs and then immediately shot toward Elijah.
Elijah swiftly dodged the first one and sliced the second one into two pieces and reached the spider and swung his sword.
*Clang*
His sword clashed with the carapace of the Frost Crawler which was extremely sturdy and bounced off.
The Crawler raised its front legs and began to attack Elijah.
*Swish!**Clang!*
Elijah blocked the front legs of the crawler with his sword, only to be surprised that the crawler, instead of attacking again jumped back and pointed its rear toward him.
And it released a beam of Pure Cyan light that froze the air as it made its way to Elijah.
Elijah was prepared to slice it in half but realized that Serena and A few other members were behind him, cutting the blast in half would still result in them being injured.
He immediately accessed his inventory and put his sword inside and took out a large grey shield that had a blue gem embedded in the middle.
Imbuing his mana in the shield, it began to glow and he prepared to take it on.
Unlike Alan, who was restricted and could not access his spatial inventory, Elijah could freely access his system inventory.
The blast and his shield collided, and cracks started to appear in the shield as Elijah was pushed back a few feet.
The Shield Cracked and shattered, and Elijah spread out his mana to form a shield of fire to guard against the blast.
*Shatter!*
"Grgh!"
Elijah grunted as his body was constantly being pushed back by the blast of cyan.
However, his effort was not futile, for the Crawler could not keep its attack skill active forever.
The blast dimmed out and disappeared.
Elijah, seeing the opportunity that the Crawler was tired after its attack, equipped his sword and charged at the Crawler.
However, when his sword hit the head of the Crawler...it shattered.
*Shatter.*
The crawler opened its mouth and fired an ice bolt at Elijah, who failed to dodge it completely as a thin red line appeared on his cheek.
The spider raised its front legs and attacked Elijah again, who grabbed its two legs and held them off.
However, it was Elijah's mistake to think that the spider could only use two legs to attack.
It raised the two behind its front legs and attacked Elijah.
[Skill activated:Stone Skin(E+)]
[Skill Activated:Hardened Skin(E)]
[Skill Activated:Natural Armour. (F+)]
Elijah immediately activated all his defensive skills. However, they could only do so much.
"Cough!"
Elijah coughed up blood as his stomach was pierced a little and began to bleed profusely.
The Spider retracted its legs and aimed at the same spots it had attacked before amd just when it was about to strike again.
[Skill activated:Increased Strength(F+).]
[Skill Activated:Golems Strength(E)]
[Skill activated:Strength of the Goblin King. (E+)]
Elijah after activating his strength-enhancing skills....threw the house-sized spider into the air.
Immediately upon doing so, he took out another sword and enveloped it in flame before throwing it at the spider's abdomen.
The spider screamed in pain, however, that was its mistake Elijah immediately flew up ad grabbed it by the mouth.
He opened his mouth and prepared the strongest skill he could use right now.
If he couldn't damage it from the outside.
He was going to do it from the inside.
[DECIMATION HAS BEEN ACTIVATED(5%)]
[All skill's attack power increased by 50% and mana consumption decreased by 50%]
[Bloodline Ability:Fire Drakes Breath has been activated.]
Elijah's chest and cheeks puffed up, his throat became red and looked like jt was about to explode, and then...he unleashed his skill.
A beam of fire even bigger than
The crawler's Ice beam was released right inside the mouth of the insect itself.
And what followed was a huge explosion in the sky.
*BOOOM!*
The explosion lit up the sky around it.
And after it dissipated Elijah's body fell holding the spider's head in his hands.
He tried to land on his feet but was too weak to do so.
Instantly, he fell to his knees and one could see his veins on the point of bursting.
His eyes became red and he coughed up even more blood.
*Cough!*
"Are you crazy?!"
He turned his head to find Serena jumping towards him as she screamed with a face full of worry.
"Why would you use that skill again?! Even though you knew its drawbacks!"
But her words grew fainter by the second and Elijah's consciousness faded.
'.. the system he-'
He tried to order his system, but unfortunately for him, he passed out before he could complete the command.
Fortunately for him, There was another healer beside him who could now prevent his death.
"You idiot!"
Serena shouted as she immediately bent down and placed her hands on his chest, a blue glow shone from her hands as she activated a skill.
[Skill activated:Blessing of Water(D)]
She kept healing and healing him as her face teared up.
"come on come on come on."
She muttered those words to herself like a mantra, and after a while, Elijah's breathing stabilized as the wounds on his stomach closed.
She heaved a sigh of relief only to cough up blood in the next second and faint later.
...she was so worried about him that she had forgotten that her injuries weren't light...and had failed to notice that she had also used her entire mana capacity to heal him.
