The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 846: Divine Art

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

A ring of indescribable light spread from Reef's shield towards the surrounding, as if it was a liquid that covered up everything. The light brought with it unbearable heat. All the zombies near Sheyan's group burned with a red flame, causing them to scream in pain.

At the same time, Melody threw out a leaf that looked incomparably green.

After the leaf absorbed the sunlight - even if the sunlight only shined for a moment - it rapidly melted into an emerald green orb of light and flew towards Dwar. Dwar kept chanting as he slashed fiercely at the green glow. However, he failed. The orb of light reached his armour and melted into the 3 green glows that were originally in his body, thus enlarging them.

That was a sunlight divine art: 'Leaf of Amplification'. It's terribly unfortunate that it was currently nighttime. Otherwise, Melody could have performed even more divine arts of Sin'Dorei.

The Nazg?l trembled from head to toe. Cracks even appeared in his armour. Despite that, he persisted with his chanting!

As the burning zombies fell one after another, Dwar completed his chant. A mysterious blood-red magic rune appeared in front of him. It rapidly increased in size and floated to about 10 metres in height. The magic rune looked like an evil eye that casted its poisonous gaze on everyone there.

Sheyan immediately received notifications from his nightmare imprint:

[You are being watched by the Bloodmoon Rune!]

[While you are under the gaze of the Bloodmoon Rune, you will receive a damage deep inside your soul every 10 seconds. The damage may cause abnormal statuses such as fear, blind, slow, cursed, etc.]

[Warning: The effect of the Bloodmoon Rune is directly imparted on your soul. It will keep following you in an inexplicable way until the Rune loses its effect. If you turn your back to it, each time it inflicts damage on you, there will be a 100% chance of causing 3 seconds of stun.]

[Warning: Your fear will be absorbed by the Nazg?l to recover his HP.]

Without a doubt, the only way they can win under the effect of that dastardly Rune was to finish the fight quickly!

Melody's face turned troubled. She lifted her longbow to attack again. The insanely strong Nazg?l seemed to be really wary of Melody, so he took another measure.

He once again plunged his sword into the ground. When he pulled his sword out, a weird noise could be heard from the ground. It sounded like the cries of vengeful spirits mixed with the sound of ice freezing. The Nazg?l actually used black magic to create a strange wall. The wall was built using the bones of the fallen skeleton warriors as its core, the vines and roots of trees as additional materials, which were mixed in soil that was frozen solid.

It wasn't merely a wall, it was a rampart that was almost half a metre thick and had a surface of over 5 square metres!

With such an obstacle between them, unless Melody could return to the peak strength of her previous life, she could do nothing to the Nazg?l.

The Nazg?l overcame skills with brute force!

Even the world trembled with the rise of the rampart. Being the monster that he was, Dwar pushed the gigantic rampart forward slowly. Sheyan and Reef wasted no time in rushing towards the Nazg?l to stop him. Facing their charge, the Nazg?l continued to resolutely push the rampart with his left hand while hacking his greatsword towards the ground with his right.

Fissures instantly formed on the ground. From the fissures flew numerous pieces of soil that burned with a black flame towards Sheyan and Reef.

Sheyan groaned. He hacked away 2 pieces of flung soil but a third piece that was about the size of a fist hit his chest. The black flame on it burned his body. There was also half a skeleton finger lodged inside the lump of soil that burrowed deep into Sheyan's chest upon contact. The flesh around the bone started to blacken and rot!

Reef, under the protection of his shield, continue advancing forward. Seeing this, the Nazg?l once again hacked towards the ground. Even more flaming lumps of rock and dirt were flung this time. Despite Reef's strength, he was still forced back by the dense hail of soil.

At that moment, the Bloodmoon Rune flickered once. Sheyan instantly felt a sharp pain in his brain and his heart, causing his whole body to feel weak. His legs became devoid of energy. The Bloodmoon Rune's damage had seemingly triggered a speed reduction effect.

It was even worse for Franklin; he was inflicted with fear. He held his head and ran around aimlessly while screaming in terror. His fear formed into a visible black substance that was rapidly absorbed by the wide-open mouth of the Nazg?l.

In this chaotic situation, Melody once again pulled her bow to attack!

Her pupils changed from the normal light blue of the Elves into a silver-white colour. Her emotionless gaze looked down on everything in existence, making one avert one's gaze from her eyes like one would with the bright sun!

"Forward!" rang Melody's clear voice that brimmed with decisiveness and authority!

A large illusion of a female Elf appeared behind Melody. The face of the female Elf was veiled, but just like Melody, her eyes looked as clear as the stream between the white rocks on a mountain!

Then, the arrow on Melody's longbow incinerated into ashes! However, the flame remained. The string of the bow even lit up with the bright light of the sun!

When Reef previously activated the skill 'Scorching Radiance' on his shield, Melody had used a divine art that was only possible with the presence of sunlight: the 'Leaf of Amplification'. No one knew that she had stored some extra sunlight at that instant. Using the stored sunlight, she unleashed another divine art in this crucial moment.

A divine art which used sunlight as the bowstring and scorching flame as the arrow.

'Cleansing Impact'!

The fiery arrow flew forward and crashed fiercely into the mysterious rampart in front of the Nazg?l!

At the moment of contact, the rampart seemingly turned invisible under the glow of sunlight. The fierce fire burrowed through the rampart leaving a small hole in its wake, then hit the Nazg?l hidden behind the rampart. The flame spread all over the Nazg?l's body and lit the Nazg?l ablaze.

The hollow and emotionless voice of the Nazg?l rang out.

"You're…a…Twilight…"

Sheyan took the chance to land a heavy kick on the cracking rampart.

The heavily-damaged rampart couldn't withstand Sheyan's battering. The soil on its surface was blasted away to reveal the intertwining roots and bones within.

Reef hit down hard with his giant claw to completely shatter what remained of the rampart.

Sheyan then took out Ambition, activated 'Rum and Songs', and shot towards Dwar. Just like he expected, the Nazg?l was immune the effects of 'Rum and Songs'. Sheyan's Pestilence Monarch did not do anything against the Nazg?l either due to its low level.

But Sheyan remained decisive. Amidst the cloud of flying dust, he lowered his posture and charged towards the burning Nazg?l like a tiger charging down the mountain to hunt; full of hunger, greed and dominance.

Sheyan grabbed Dwar's right hand tightly to prevent him from casting anymore strange spells with his greatsword. Even though Sheyan was wearing a chainmail glove, a strange feeling still spread onto his hands upon contact with the Nazg?l's flesh. It felt as if his hands were bound by sticky spider webs. The feeling was disgusting and hard to shake off. However, Sheyan displayed a strong determination. Both his hands held on firmly, winning a precious chance for Reef and Melody.

Reef's claw glittered as he unleashed the skill on the claw upon the right foot of the Nazg?l. Sparks flew as the hard claw collided with the Nazg?l's steel armour. It looked as if Reef's claw was blocked by the armour, but upon closer inspection one would find the green glow of natural power within the Nazg?l's right foot to have grown bigger.

The Nazg?l lowered his head and opened his mouth wide in Sheyan's direction. Sheyan instantly felt a huge threat but with the corner of his eyes, he saw Melody once again lift her longbow while loading a strange-looking arrow. So, he gritted his teeth and endured.

A mysterious cold wind blew forth from the Nazg?l's mouth.

The cold wind could be seen with naked eye. As if it was alive, it crept into Sheyan through every orifice on his face. Sheyan instantly felt weak all over. It was followed by a disgusting feeling, as if all his internal organs had rotted and were crawling with maggots! It made him vomit furiously.

Sheyan knew that he was inflicted with the Black Breath of the Nazg?l. That was terrible news to him. The endless list of victims of the Black Breath included such prominent storyline characters as Faramir, éowyn and Merry. The victims would experience severe despair, nightmare and unconsciousness. In serious cases, it may even prove fatal.

The darkness of despair assaulted Sheyan. Right before he lost consciousness, he caught a glimpse of Melody shooting out an extremely long arrow. The arrow accurately lodged itself into the left palm of the Nazg?l. Instantly, the 3 glows of natural power in the Nazg?l congregated towards the arrow like they were attracted to a magnet. Then, a blinding light burst forth!
