My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 179 - 139: Blood-Soaked Struggle (2)
"Hah!!"
With a forceful roar, Raine hurled the Two-Handed Heavy Hammer he had been carrying on his back with all his might.
The heavy Two-Handed Warhammer spun rapidly in mid-air, hurtling towards the White Dragon Mage Aiel in the sky.
In mid-air.
Aiel wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, trying to throw some harsh words at Raine.
Suddenly!
He saw a silver-gray shadow appear in his vision.
It rapidly enlarged!
’What is this?’
Just as he realized it was a Two-Handed Warhammer.
The thought of dodging had just popped into his mind.
"Sizzle!"
A blinding electric light enveloped him entirely, making the unprepared Aiel freeze.
At that moment, the heavy head of the Two-Handed Heavy Hammer smashed hard into his face.
Aiel was instantly dazed and fell from the sky!
On the ground.
A tall silver-gray figure almost simultaneously followed up, raising the warhammer high in its right hand!
Aiel had just landed.
Struggling to get up.
He felt a gust of wind strike his head!
"Crack!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of a bone cracking!
Aiel’s eyes instantly became dull, staring blankly ahead.
His forehead and above had completely disappeared.
Behind him, a fan-shaped pool of jelly-like red and white substance seemed to be the missing part of his body tissue.
Yet at this moment, Raine was momentarily stunned!
His expression was somewhat complex.
Yes, complex.
Because it was a mix of surprise, joy, and a hint of the unexpected!
Perhaps because the recent strike combined Armor-Piercing Strike with Frost Strike.
Or maybe due to a qualitative change triggered by a quantitative change...
In an instant.
He felt a surge of Enlightenment about the Class Skills Frost Strike in his mind.
At that moment.
He felt as if his soul had left his body and soared into the sky.
....
Castle third floor.
"Hold Person Spell!"
As Lilith pointed at Baron Olsen, a purple light instantly covered the entire body of Baron Olsen, who was holding a Great Sword.
It was like pressing the shutter on a camera.
Baron Olsen, in the motion of bringing down his Great Sword, was vividly frozen in place.
A square purple Array appeared on the ground around him, lines of purple light flowing through it, emitting strands of Energy that restricted Baron Olsen’s body movements.
"As I said, you’re just a Warrior, incapable of harming me in any way."
Lilith flicked her fair fingers disdainfully and said lightly.
But in the next moment!
Her eyes widened slightly, showing a hint of astonishment!
Baron Olsen’s body, like a mannequin, began to slowly move amidst creaking sounds.
The purple light seemed to encounter some violent force, being forcibly ripped away from Baron Olsen’s body.
This was precisely the only Combat Skills possessed by Bloodied Veteran Lv2—’Bloodied Struggle.’
Bloodied Struggle, Effect: As you are injured, your fighting spirit becomes increasingly resolute, greatly enhancing your resistance to negative effects such as charm, immobilization, and daze. The more severe the injury, the greater the enhancement.
That’s why, before attacking, Baron Olsen first cut a wound on his own chest.
"Roar!!"
Baron Olsen let out a furious roar to the sky, and the purple light scattered instantly.
Aside, Viss was stunned to see how fierce Baron Olsen was, but in the next second, Viss, regaining composure, looked ferocious.
The Crystal Stone gripped tightly in his hand was crushed in an instant!
As the Crystal Stone shattered, the advancing baron suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
But with the support of Bloodied Struggle, he quickly shook his head, steadied himself, and continued charging towards Lilith.
’No effect?’
’He can withstand such pain?’
Viss’s eyes widened, staring at the still fierce as a lion Baron Olsen, momentarily bewildered.
He knew all too well the level of pain caused by the larvae gnawing inside.
On the other hand, feeling timid, he crawled out of the room’s door, rolling and stumbling away.
’Damn it! I’m out of here!’
’They’re all liars, telling me it’s a piece of cake.’
’I almost lost my life!’
With the thought of quickly returning to the Valley of Dead Water through the teleportation array, Viss escaped the room.
Meanwhile, the baron, regaining his mobility, leaped towards the alluring figure in a red robe with a slash!
"Buzz!"
The high-speed air trembled as the sword blade sliced through it.
A silver sword light, more refined than before, flashed briefly in the slightly dim room.
The momentum of this sword was incredibly powerful.
As if it contained all of Baron Olsen’s strength!
As if it slashed through all the pent-up frustration from Baron Olsen’s captivity!
As if it cut through the sweat and determination from over a decade of relentless sword skills training during his military career!
"Ssh!"
A streak of crimson blood splattered from Lilith’s slightly angling back enchanting cheek.
The wound wasn’t deep, just a shallow cut less than an inch long.
But this sudden injury left Lilith momentarily incredulous, as if she never expected to be injured by Baron Olsen.
What followed immediately was a surge of anger due to the injury to her pretty face.
"You..."
...
Elsewhere.
In the corridor on the third floor of the castle.
Originally retreating at the back of a three-person team, Reya suddenly saw a figure resembling her father dash out into the corridor.
"It’s a Shapeshifter!"
Under normal circumstances, perhaps Reya would hesitate to fight a Challenge Level 3 Shapeshifter.
But driven by hatred for the Shapeshifter’s torment of her father, and seeing the desperate, fleeing figure, Reya, with nearly two years of adventurer experience, instantly realized it was a perfect attack opportunity.
"Get him!"
"Laisa, you ambush! I’ll distract from the front."
"Okay!"
Reya’s figure flickered, and an identical figure began shooting at Shapeshifter Viss.
However, she was actually hiding behind a corridor pillar, charging up and aiming.
She was about to use her Combat Skills for an Aimed Strike!
"Ssh!"
As Viss hurriedly fled, a strong gust brushed his side, prompting him to lower his neck to dodge.
He turned to see Reya’s figure catching his eyes.
’This girlie?’
’Damn it, I can’t beat your father, but you, a newly promoted class user, I can handle?’
This infuriated Viss immensely!
He no longer thought about escaping through the teleportation array immediately but aimed to capture Baron Olsen’s daughter alive.
As a Challenge Level 3 Shapeshifter, his own strength wasn’t to be underestimated, and he swiftly charged at ’Reya’.
But in the next moment!
A warning bell rang in his heart as a cold gleam flashed from behind a pillar on the left side of the corridor!
Viss immediately recalled that Baron Olsen’s daughter was a special class user—’Phantom Archer’, and the one he had just lunged at was evidently a phantom.
Faced with this charged Aimed Strike, Viss could only slightly deflect the arrow’s target point to avoid a direct hit to the chest.
"Thud!"
The Serrated Arrow deeply pierced the scapular region of his right shoulder, causing Viss to feel a heart-piercing pain instantly.
"Damn girl!"
"I’m going to take you back to the Valley of Dead Water, every day..."
As Viss cursed and charged at Reya again, a petite figure, nearly blending with the surrounding shadows, suddenly darted from behind Viss, carving a full black arc with a dagger!
"Backstab!"
As a Challenge Level 3 Shapeshifter, much of his strength relied on his extremely special abilities—’Transformation’ and ’Surface Mind Reading Spell’.
In terms of actual combat strength, it was comparable to a Challenge Level 2 Deadwater Boarman Warrior, and perhaps even slightly inferior in close combat.
And since Shapeshifters tend to prefer enjoyment, this is why many Shapeshifters, whose strength is ordinary but with significant utility, tend to actively or passively seek affiliation with greater forces.
Faced with the Backstab from a Level 3 Classes assassin.
Viss no longer had any intention of capturing the girl alive.
He just wanted to turn around and block this attack!
And then escape immediately!
"Thud!"
But the injury to his right shoulder made it inconvenient to block, forcing him to switch to his left hand, and during this hand-switching pause.
The matte dagger had already plunged below his neck, near the collarbone.
"Ssh! Ssh!"
And Laisa’s attack wasn’t over yet; with one hand nearly incapacitated, multiple black blade lights flashed through the air.
The muscles and tendons in multiple places on Viss’s body were severed, and the paralytic toxin began rapidly spreading throughout his body.
"Laisa, keep him alive!" Reya’s voice called out.
"Thud!"
With a dull thud, Laisa struck Viss’s back neck area hard with the handle of her dagger.
Shapeshifter Viss collapsed softly to the ground, knocked unconscious by Laisa.
