Second World Novel

Chapter 671 - 671. Falling Into The Chasm



Four Winds must have used a seed on his Berserk skill to produce these crimson tattoos. Considering how fast he had moved, this enhanced Berserk must have improved his speed by a great deal. However, Jack also noticed another thing that was different from Four Winds. His HP recovery rate was faster compared to a normal Berserker. Whether this was due to that enhanced Berserk mode or his other skills, it was unclear.

Megan used Judgment Strike and Four Winds used Heavy Cleave. The two elite skills collided. Megan was sent reeling back, indicating that she had lost the exchange even if she suffered no damage.

The reeling back didn't make her lose balance though, she made a graceful whirl as if a pirouette and smacked her mace at Four Winds again. Four Winds met her blow by blow.

"The two of them were clearly martial art experts," Jack commented.

"Look at that silver girl," Paytowin said.

The silver girl was Violent Blizzard. She wore heavy armors that looked so matching to one another that they appeared as if one full set of suits instead of seven separate pieces of armor. Peniel later confirmed his conjecture, she was wearing set equipment, a complete set at that.

She was currently lifting her greatsword high. Her greatsword was also silver in color following her armors. Jack wondered how she got such a matching weapon and armor, Peniel confirmed to him that no set equipment included both weapon and armor, so the greatsword was not a part of her set equipment.

Violent Blizzard was currently just letting Tripsy's Concealed Needle riddle her body. Damage numbers appeared from the multiple hit. At the same time, avenging orbs appeared one after another.

'Oops!' This expression appeared on Tripsy's face. She had provided her opponent with more ammunition.

Violent Blizzard activated Righteous Fury, sacrificing all ten avenging orbs and boosting herself. A blue aura appeared above her greatsword, creating the image of a giant flaming sword. The crossguard of the imaginary sword spread out and formed flaming wings. The spectacle was striking. The skill was without a doubt a non-standard skill. Peniel informed Jack that the skill was called Blue Wing Slash.

Violent Blizzard swung her greatsword down. The giant blue aura sword swooped down at Drake and Sour Face. The display alone had intimidated the two, not to mention the pressure the two felt from the attack. The two jumped to opposite sides to avoid the skill.

The giant sword slammed onto the ground. The aura spread out into waves, towards the left, right, and forward. Both Drake and Sour Face were hit by the waves, suffering damages. The forward wave also headed to Tripsy who was just about to throw her knives. Since she was further away, she managed to use Roll and dodge the attack.

Antsy who was about to complete his Summon Treant, felt a sharp pain from his back. Disco Rain who had vanished prior had appeared behind him, delivering backstab. When she tried to run away, a long ice wall appeared in front of him, cutting him from the rest of his teammates. It was the Elemental Wall spell cast by Water Lily.

Megan was just about to cast Heal on Antsy, but she lost sight of the druid due to the ice wall. Now the enemy's Assassin was free to bully their main healer. Megan was about to move back but Four Winds had come before her again. His two axes danced before her.

"That's…," Jack was transfixed seeing Four Winds' axe arts. It was similar to his Formless Flowing Sword Style, yet different. The two axes danced around the berserker, creating a bubble of light formed by quick slashes. It deflected Megan's mace strikes and at the same time landed a slash when Megan was unbalanced. The art was effective for both defense and offense.

Megan hurriedly retreated and cast Heal on herself.

"Look at their positioning," Paytowin said.

Jack took away his attention from the close-up fight and looked at the battlefield from an overall perspective. Somehow, the orc team had positioned themselves around the draconian team, forcing the draconian team into a position where they were in a kill-zone. Water Lily's AOE spells struck then, hitting multiple targets at the same time.

Each of the Orc team members was also highly skilled in either game mechanics or martial arts. The one in the draconian team who could fight either one of them on equal footing was only Megan. In this condition, it was more like she was one person fighting against five.

"It's a martial art formation," Jack said. He didn't know this formation but it certainly functioned like one. The five's teamwork worked very well within this formation.

From the scene, it was easy to see that the draconian team was in a tight spot. The draconian team themselves realized their situation. Antsy cast Healing Wind and Healing Spirit but their HP still decreased at a faster rate than their opponents. Megan finally led them to break through the formation. They would get slaughtered if they remained here.

But as they were forcefully punching through the enemies' siege, Disco Rain caught one of their members, Sour Face, and caused him to stumble back away from the rest. Megan cast Hallowed Ground on Sour Face. With Hallowed Ground's HP recovery and Sour Face's decent HP, it should allow him to survive until they provided aid.

Four Winds came to Sour Face's side and used Power Strike, causing Sour Face to stumble. He then cut at Sour Face's legs. Sour Face lost all balance then. Four Winds slammed his body on Sour Face and used Charge, stopping just when he was about to go over the edge of the arena. Sour Face, however, could not stop his momentum. He was thrown out of the floating arena, falling to the bottomless chasm below.

His name on the sky was greyed out, which confirmed that those who fell into the chasm below suffered instant death.

Megan gritted her teeth from losing her teammate. She regretted her decision for direct confrontation. Their enemies were more formidable than she thought. Both their expertise and equipment were top-notch.

The rock bridge was very narrow, only one person could pass at a time. Megan activated Faith Armor and stood her ground to cover her team's escape.

"I admire your bravery, but that won't save your team," Four Winds uttered as his weapons and Megan's clashed.

Water Lily had been casting a spell. It was a five-runes spell. Tripsy tried throwing her weapons to disrupt Water Lily's casting while crossing the rock bridge, but all her thrown weapons were deflected by Violent Blizzard and Disco Rain.

Everyone expected Chain Lightning to be cast, including Megan. She jumped in front of Water Lily. Chain Lightning would strike the closest target first. Against magic attack, her Faith Armor protected her further, reducing any magic and elemental damage by 25% and negating all splash or jump effects when the spell hit, so the Chain Lightning would stop after hitting her.

Water Lily's spell took effect. However, no lightning crackle was heard. Instead, they felt cold energy from above. They looked up and saw a very large chunk of ice boulder in the sky. This boulder had a sharp end at the bottom and it was currently falling.

Jack found the spell similar to Trinity Dawn's Ice Nail, except this was a much larger block of ice that was dropped. Peniel informed him this spell was called Ice Fall. It was the elite version of the Ice Nail.

The huge ice fell on top of the fleeing team. Tripsy tried to move away from the point of impact. However, Lily's target was never the players. The huge ice fell and smashed the rock bridge, it broke the bridge apart. Antsy was the last to cross, he was not yet far. Megan managed to pull him back and save him.

The other two draconian players, Tripsy and Drake, were too far at the middle of the bridge already. Tripsy fell to the void below, while Drake activated his Jump attack at the last moment. The other side was still too far, so he teleported back to the floating arena instead. However, as he reappeared in the air and fell, he found Disco Rain was making a super jump towards him.

Drake stabbed his spear which still got the bonus from Jump Attack, but Disco Rain parried it in the air. She received damage while her body somersaulted with one leg swinging high. Her heel struck Drake's head. Drake didn't suffer any damage but the kick pushed him away from the floating arena.

Drake ended up also falling into the chasm following Tripsy who was ahead down there.

Megan's heart sank for seeing her teammates defeated in such a rapid manner, but she didn't just submit to fate. "Antsy, Deep Wisdom! Stampede!" She commanded.

As Antsy was a Draconian and a magic user, he also had the Deep Wisdom race skill. While his casting was protected from being disrupted, he focused on casting the spell while Megan swung her mace keeping opponents from physically touching Antsy.

Antsy completed his spell amongst a barrage of range skills and spells from the enemies. He would have died if Megan didn't cast Heal on him. His life was just a hairbreadth when his spell took effect. He cast Druid level 45 spell, Wild Stampede. The spell summoned a group of rampaging wildebeests that goes on a stampede in a direction, dealing 300% physical damage every second to all within the path and causing knockback.

Megan had been planning to have Antsy use this spell when the opponents chased them on the bridge, knocking them down in one swoop. Unfortunately, that plan would never come to fruition.

However, the stampede on the floating arena might still be effective. The arena was not that big. If the enemies continued to get knockback, they might still get pushed to the edge.

As the rampaging wildebeests appeared, the four orc women retreated to Four Winds' back.. Four Winds grinned as the stampede approached.
