Second World



"Cover me!" Cain shouted.

Leavemealone was puzzled. Cain had so many arms from his red smoke form. Why did he still need others to cover him?

Despite Leavemealone being cold and almost antisocial, he could still work with others, especially during a battle. He used Illusive Movement, the skill that increased his movement speed and created afterimages to confuse enemies. Added with a few acrobatic moves, he arrived at the base of Cain's red smoke, which was Arlcard.

Arlcard started casting a spell when Leavemealone arrived.

Leavemealone expected the enemy to turn into a frenzy and come at them. But no, they still fought carefully. He chucked it to Cain overestimating his spell or the enemies didn't recognize the spell he was casting.

Cain also didn't expect this. He thought the enemies would be stopping Arlcard from completing the spell. It didn't matter. When the spell was completed, they should be able to give Jack a hand.

Arlcard completed the spell under the red smoke and Leavemealone's protection. Sonata of the Night was cast.

Ominous mist covered the place, hindering the opponent's view while leaving allies unhindered. Ghouls also came out from within the fog and from the ground.

"Forward!" Cain commanded.

Both Therras and Jack's spirit weapon had intelligence. They understood the situation. Following Cain and Leavemealone, they all slipped among the blinded enemies to get to Marcus.

One disadvantage these dead vampires had was that they lost their mana ability upon death. Even if they could sense mana and do mana manipulation when they were alive, they couldn't do any of those now. Hence, Leavemealone and the others could slip past them under the mist, even when the mythical-grade enemies were right beside them.

Suddenly, an intensely bright light washed over everything from above. Leavemealone and the others received light element damage from the light, but that was not the only thing the light did. Arlcard's mists receded when they were touched by this light. In a short time, the mists covering the hall vanished. The ghouls also fell to the ground and turned to dust.

"Damn it!" Cain cursed. He glared at Marcus in the distance who was grinning.

Marcus was the one who conjured the bright light. The spell was called Purifying Brilliance. It dealt light damage and dispelled dark-based enchantment within its area of effect. The dark energy that was shrouding Arlcard's rapier also disappeared from the spell.

Their cover was gone while they were still mid-way. This put them in a bad position. The enemies now attacked them from all directions.

Cain was still fine thanks to his multi-appendages smoke form. He could strike in all directions. Therras had to activate its supersonic mode to keep itself from becoming a punching bag. The spirit weapon slashed in all directions using Jack's sword art but it didn't do so well.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Leavemealone relied on his martial arts to deal with this difficult situation. He first used Cycle of Shade and Shadow to throw all the enemies around him off-balance. He continued spinning his body and performed Death Carrying Cyclone using his leg. 

Arlcard's Sonata of the Night might have failed to help them penetrate the enemy's barricade, but they were deeper than they were before. Leavemealone was intent on pushing in deeper. He used White Tiger Charge when the enemies around him were still stumbling, but his charge was stopped when Xenos came in his way again.

White tiger charge was usually unstoppable, but Xenos was simply far stronger than Leavemealone. Xenos' punch sent Leavemealone's large tiger body stumbling backward.

Leavemealone forcefully stopped his body from moving back by using One Thousand Pounds Mountain, a martial art that multiplied one's weight. He then took a stance. His right hand formed into a fist with his index finger and middle finger extending out. Cold mana gathered rapidly at the tip of those two fingers.

Xenos lunged forward when he saw Leavemealone was still standing from his punch. His fists turned into a blur as he used Infinite Lightning Punches. All Leavemealone saw in front of him was a wall of fists.

Before those punches arrived, Leavemealone activated his weapon's Overlimit. He then stabbed forward with his extended finger. The cold mana on those fingers exploded into a spiraling black energy that drilled forward. This spiraling black energy was the Nine Yin Abyssal Finger.

When Murong Shu used the Nine Yin Abyssal Finger on Domon during the Verremor invasion war, she had just successfully learned the martial art and was using that art in a real fight for the first time. It was a version of the art in its weakest form.

Leavemealone was also using this art for the first time at this moment, but he had continued training inside the Space-time Chamber when Jack was dealing with the murders in Themisphere's border towns. During that training, he successfully grasped a mastery that surpassed even Murong who had learned this art earlier.

When Murong saw this achievement, she was conflicted about how to feel. She was glad that the student she was teaching could reach such a height, but she was also sad because Leavemealone was not her direct disciple.

The energy produced by Leavemealone's Nine Yin Abyssal Finger was as if a giant drill. This energy shot forward. It punctured Xenos' wall of fists. The black drilling energy continued onward without any sign of weakening and pierced into Xenos' abdomen.

Xenos' body jerked backward from the impact. His infinite lightning punches were forcefully ended. Yet, the drilling energy continued to persist. He felt as if his inside was ravaged. The drilling energy then punctured out from his back. At the same time, blood spurted from the two spots where the black energy entered and exited. Xenos also lost one-fifth of his HP from that one stab.

Among the three martial arts within the Nine Yin Scripture, the Nine Yin Abyssal Finger had the highest destructive power and penetration ability. That's how Leavemealone was able to wound Xenos with this art when Jack was unable to when he attacked Marcus with the Nine Yin Phantom Sword.

The Nine Yin Abyssal Finger not only wounded Xenos, it also weakened and stunned him. Leavemealone took the chance to dash forward. He gave Xenos another punch while passing by him. This sent the elder vampire tumbling away.

After beating Xenos back, Leavemealone finally reached the back line of the enemy's barricade. He found Jack right ahead of him. Jack was down on the floor and Isaac was holding his halberd high, ready to strike Jack with it.
