THERE were hundreds, no, probably even more than a thousand of ck lightsing from different directions and entering the Dark Saint’s body. If that was all, Luo Yan wouldn’t be surprised at all. But the problem was, those ck lights had something like an outline of a face in them.
From where he was standing, those faces looked like that painting ’The Scream’. It’s not only that, he could hear howling from those streams of ck lights. The sound was like someone being tortured or something.
He had a feeling that those streams of ck lights were actually souls. And where could those soulse from? Of course, it could only be from the dark mages on the ind.
As those souls were being absorbed to the Dark Saint’s body, his wounds started to heal. Not only that, the sickly appearance he had started to change as well. His thin build suddenly gained muscles and his pale pallor became rosy.
He was obviously absorbing those souls to supplement his body. Like he did with the souls of those kitsunes his followers killed for him. And now, this bastard was doing the same to those said followers.
The Dark Saint opened his eyes, looking rejuvenated. "As expected, my believers’ souls truly are splendid. I should have probably done this a long time ago. Maybe I should thank your group for killing them for me. At least, I no longer needed to think of an excuse to sacrifice them. Although it would be hard to find useful people again. Especially with my body being like this. But their souls couldst me a few hundred years. That would be enough to rebuild everything. Now, if only you would give me back the archdemon’s body, it would be a perfect ending."
Luo Yan felt the corner of his eye twitching because of the other’s monologue. Now, he was even more annoyed. Not only did this guy not care about his ind burning into mes, he even took the souls of his dying followers. This no longer felt like revenge, it’s more like they were serving him a delicious delicacy on a tter.
"No, the perfect ending would be you dying here," he said with a sweet smile. "And just so we’re clear here, that body won’t ever be returned to you. So, I suggest you stop fantasizing about your ’perfect ending’ because that won’t happen. Ever. It’s better if you just ept your death. Because that would be your ending."
The Dark Saint onlyughed. "You truly are such a firecracker. It makes me want to make you mine more and more."
Luo Yan just felt disgusted hearing that. Should he contact customer service after this and sue an NPC for sexual harassment? Maybe he could get somepensation afterwards.
While he was contemting about that, Shen Ji Yun, on the other, was just getting angrier and angrier. Everything that came out of this bastard’s mouth that had something to do with Luo Yan was just constantly beating his bottom line.
What were the game devs thinking designing such an NPC? This bastard was even worse from that vampire from team Sanguis. Should he talk about this to his uncle? What if there’s another NPC that’s designed like this? And what if Luo Yan met them? His rabbit was so beautiful and charismatic, they would definitely act the same.
Yes, this definitely had to be reported to his uncle.
He nced at Luo Yan and saw the other also looking at him. He could easily read the message in his eyes. Luo Yan wanted for them to attack together once again. He nodded, telling the other that he understood.
He was thrown pretty far off earlier and was now on the Dark Saint’s blind spot. He was in the perfect position to do a surprise attack. And he did not hesitate to do so.
He raised his sword, purple lightning naturally surrounded it. And then he used one of his skills – [Lightning ws]. It’s a skill that dealt lightning damage by releasing five huge shes that looked like a beast’s ws. Thus, the name.
Its damage wasn’t that high. Especially for a high-level boss such as this NPC. But Shen Ji Yun’s purpose was not to deal damage by using it. He often used this skill when he a decoy that could cover up his real attack. [Sword ws] was perfect for that because of it over the top appearance.
It could fool people into thinking that it was a powerful attack. So, once they managed to defend against it, they would have a tendency to rx. That was even more true for NPCs and monsters in the game. Because they were designed to follow a logical pattern duringbat. That’s why he was not worried that the Dark Saint wouldn’t take this ’bait’ that he just threw.
As expected, the other put up a shield to protect himself from the five lightning shes that was about to hit him. Shen Ji Yun took that opportunity to use [Lightning Steps]. It’s a short distance teleportation skill that could allow him to move instantaneously from one point to the next.
But as he said, it’s only for a short distance. Its limit was only 100 meters at most. But it didn’t matter since its cooldown was only a minute. This kind of skill was very useful when it came to team fights.
With [Lightning Steps], he appeared just right behind the Dark Saint. He swung his sword towards the other’s neck without much hesitation. To his surprise, the Dark Saint suddenly turned around and managed to raise his arm before the sword reached his neck.
The arm he had raised seemed to have an invisible shield that protected him from the attack. But the collision between it and the sword was too strong that the Dark Saint was thrown off.
An almost imperceptible smile appeared on Shen Ji Yun’s lips. Because he did not just throw off the other to a random direction. He did so towards the direction where Luo Yan was waiting.
So, before the Dark Saint could evennd on his feet, a dagger had already embedded itself to his shoulder.
Luo Yan was preparing to do a much more damaging attack since the Dark Saint would be rendered immobile again. But to his shock, the other was able to move and even managed to clutch his neck at a very fast speed.
"You really are too naughty," the Dark Saint said, his voice full of hidden malice.
