Chapter 175: Darkshadow Archdemon—Another Side to Slayer’s Heart

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Malevolent Archdemon was considered a special kind of Shadow-type creature in the Silentdeath Jungle. Their combat ability was not to be taken lightly and they possessed higher intelligence than many other monsters. That made it very easy for them to automatically adjust and raise their own potential whenever they were forced into perilous situations. Through that, they could evolve into higher level mutant Archdemons or other existences that were even more terrifying—Miniboss level Darkshadow Archdemon.

The reason why Slayer’s Heart chose Silentdeath Jungle as their destination was because there were many methods and ways to force the Malevolent Archdemons to mutate and advance into new tiers as much as they could in this area! The condition of this jungle was great for them to create even more Bosses and increase the possibilities of dropping powerful Pet Eggs!

But the first Malevolent Archdemon that underwent mutation had possessed the strength of an ordinary Tier 5 monster. After advancing in tier, it possessed the strength of a Tier 4 Miniboss! Its strength was even greater than the strength of the Gorefiend Spider Demon and the Deathfiend Spider. Even with the combined strength of Qin Ruo and the other nine members on the party, it was absolutely no easy feat and the ten of them had to be extremely careful. They could not afford to make even one wrong move!

“Brother Da, Gold Digger Babe, be on guard!”

“Violet Orchid is responsible with the buffs while Devilite will heal us to the max!”

“Little Qin! Rose! Little Arrow! Dino! You all are responsible as our main firepower!”

While Slayer’s Heart spared no effort in wielding and swinging his Pazuzu’s Warhammer around to land strikes on the body of the newly evolved Darkshadow Archdemon, he did not forget to remind everyone on the party to resume their respective battle positions. The Malevolent Archdemon had used almost five seconds to complete its transition from a normal Tier 4 monster into a Tier 4 Miniboss! But during the process of the entire tier evolving, they realized the monster was becoming completely immune to their attacks. Its body was turning and changing at such high speed that it was almost invisible to naked eye.

Its body was now approximately three meters long. The body that was originally similar to the body of a human being had gone through a drastic change—backbones that turned metallic pierced out in a neat row. The same thing happened to its arms and the curves of its knees. The metallic backbone was half a meter long and looked like it had black sharp fangs!

The moment the tier advancement ended, the Darkshadow Archdemon suddenly let out a thunderous roar that rumbled through the once peaceful Silentdeath Jungle!

With huge strength, it shoved Slayer’s Heart quite a distance backward. It appeared excited with its newly-acquired power and it showed on its face.

But, as it appeared, the monster seemed to have messed with the wrong person!

The sudden shoving by the monster, while surprising, did not stop Slayer’s Heart from quickly regaining his center of gravity. With a low roar, he lowered himself as much as he could. The moment he stopped and could balance himself, he charged forward at the enemy with crazy speed and crashed into the Darkshadow Archdemon’s waist.

Just then, Qin Ruo’s Darkfrost Sting arrived in the nick of time!

Slayer’s Heart forceful attack had made it difficult for the Darkshadow Archdemon to defend itself. The attack was so powerful it got pushed back itself. With the Darkfrost Sting that came right after, it had no chance at all as pain sunk into its chest...

Target hit. Caused 157 Damage on the Darkshadow Archdemon

Failed to inflict Frozen

‘Such amazing Magic Defense!’

Qin Ruo furrowed his brows a little. It was very obvious that the Darkshadow Archdemon was not just a little stronger than the Gorefiend Spider Demon. It was way more than they had thought. Back then when he was still a Level 39, he could already cause three-digit damage to the Gorefiend Spider Demon. Never did he expect that even with brand new weapons and Gold accessories he was still not able to inflict an effective attack and cause a big enough damage onto the Darkshadow Archdemon.

Understanding how much he had to pull himself together, Qin Ruo retreated more than thirty meters away. As soon as he could see the Darkshadow Archdemon clearly from top to toe, he started casting his next wave of Magic.

Slayer’s Heart on the other hand was in a different predicament. Not only did his Charge not bring about much of an effect, the rebound was massive. As it came back to him, it almost broke off the heavy strike and combo chain he was preparing.

It was fortunate that Slayer’s heart was rich with combat experiences. He knew that he must not take even half a step backward or else it was a chance for the Darkshadow Archdemon to break out of its disadvantageous situation, and that would then threaten his comrades behind him. He was not one to back down. His body was responding to the situation at that moment. He borrowed the force of the rebound as he whirled himself backward and slashed out his Pazuzu’s Warhammer with a Backspin Slash.

Bam!

Unfortunately, it felt like he had collided with a metallic surface! This time, Slayer’s Heart did not let himself feel the same as he did just a while ago. He urged himself to maintain his stance as he felt his weapon almost fall out from his grasp, his arms trembling from the rebound effect.

After receiving the amount of Damage from the system notification, the remaining nine of the party behind him gasped in astonishment!

‘What the hell?!’

78 Damage

Slayer’s Heart’s Attack, a Tier 3 Backspin Slash, only caused a two-digit damage value... What the hell was with the body of that Darkshadow Archdemon?!

While everyone was dumbstruck at the shocking results of Slayer’s Heart’s powerful attacks, intense Shadow magic was slowly exuding from the body of the Darkshadow Archdemon. Not long after, the monster appeared to have found its chance as it started its counterattacks.

A black Elemental Ball directly exploded right before Slayer’s Heart’s body like a compressed contaminated Aqua Bullet, splattering all over the entire body of Slayer’s Heart. After that, everyone saw the extremely agile Slayer’s Heart suddenly slow down to the speed of a tortoise. It was payback time and it did just that by slowing down its attackers!

“Purify!”

Violet Orchid’s next move proved that she was indeed one of the few high-leveled Radiant Priests in the Bauhinia Clan. The second the Darkshadow Archdemon’s Magic touched Slayer’s Heart, Violet Orchid let out a murmur and a sacred column of light shone through the sky. It cleansed the black contaminated water that had stuck to Slayer’s Heart like glue in an instant.

Movement Speed recovery.

Initially, the Darkshadow Archdemon was ready for Slayer’s Heart. But when the Violet Orchid’s Light magic was launched, its full attention went to her as fire blazed within its eyes! Radiant Priests were the ultimate nemesis of Shadow-type creatures.

As a Radiant Priestess, Violet Orchid knew how bad it could turn out with full attention from monsters especially Shadow-Type creatures to her Class. In the beginning, she had thought things would be fine as long as she could blend in... But that streak was over, and the only thing she could do now was to run for dear life!

The persistence of the Shadow-type creature toward Radiant Priests was extremely frightening!

After casting the Purification to relieve the crisis that had befallen Slayer’s Heart, Violet Orchid just turned around and ran without saying a single word...

When Little Apple who had been guarding by her side saw that the Darkshadow Archdemon left Slayer’s Heart alone as it started running over, Little Apple immediately activated her Tempest Aura, lifted her Dark Phoenix Spellbreaker Sword, and faced the Darkshadow Archdemon.

At the same time, Burning Rose who already officially activated her Verdantflame Barrier and her Fire Aegis also rushed out! Following Little Apple with a tremendous roar was a gigantic fire dragon that emerged from the tip of the magic staff in her hand.

Fire Dragon’s Roar!

A loud explosion erupted in the air. Flames were everywhere in all directions, originating from the body of the Darkshadow Archdemon. The Tier 4 Fire-type magic which was tremendously powerful Magic did not fall short of expectations. Not only did it inflict more than 240 Damage to the Darkshadow Archdemon, it also caused a massive impact throughout the battle area. It blasted through the momentum of the Darkshadow Archdemon as it charged forward to the point that it slightly staggered.

Sensing an opportunity, Little Apple rushed over at a fast pace and stood herself in front of the Darkshadow Archdemon. With a slash across the air with her Dark Phoenix Spellbreaker Sword, dark purplish thunder descended from the sky as it landed at where she directed it with the sword which was where its castration was at its best. All of a sudden, it was like a thunderstorm.

With the good teamwork between Violet Orchid, Burning Rose, and Little Apple, they were able to prepare within two seconds. That had also coincidentally created a chance for Slayer’s Heart to catch up...

“Make way!”

Hearing what Slayer’s Heart said, Little Apple who cast the Thunder Slash did not hesitate at all as she shifted to the side, away from the Darkshadow Archdemon.

A flash of bloody red light appeared on Slayer’s Heart’s body. A shadow the color of blood was emitted as Slayer’s Heart suddenly accelerated from behind the Darkshadow Archdemon and slammed himself hard onto the Darkshadow Archdemon’s waist!

Bam!

It was finally effective! When the Darkshadow Archdemon was knocked over by Slayer’s Heart to the point that half of its body was thrown backward, its second wave of magic was forcefully interrupted.

Slayer’s Heart spun at least half his body to ready his Pazuzu’s Warhammer and swung it at such great velocity that the moment it came in contact with the chest of the Darkshadow Archdemon the monster was thrown further back!

Thud!!!

A solid and heavy sound of a collision was heard! Everyone within the vicinity could feel the thunderous tremor and their hearts felt like they had suddenly stopped for a moment—that was no simple hit.

As expected...

The Darkshadow Archdemon had proven to be a formidable opponent. But even with its power, it had been damaged and blasted so badly that its feet were off the ground! It was evident that Slayer’s Heart had a good eye for timing and opportunity.

Qin Ruo suddenly stopped his Snow Eagle Dive that had already been cast. He fixed his eyes on the Darkshadow Archdemon as he made a prediction on the Darkshadow Archdemon’s response. Slayer’s Heart took a step forward unhurriedly as he once again spun his body with his Pazuzu’s Warhammer grasped tightly with both of his hands. As he put strength into lifting the hammer upward, the bulged part of the hammer connected with the lower jaw of the Darkshadow Archdemon...

Clear cracking sounds, along with the terrified scream of the Darkshadow Archdemon suddenly echoed in the air!

However, Slayer’s Heart did not stop there. His subsequent movements seemed to be much slower as time went by. But, each and every one of his strikes landed on critical parts of the Darkshadow Archdemon without flaw. Critical Hits and Lucky Strikes kept appearing one after another...

And at that moment!

Qin Ruo felt that Slayer’s Heart had turned into someone else, especially when he saw that Slayer’s Heart was behaving slightly differently. Slayer’s Heart repeatedly used his precise judgment and movements, and also another new batch of combo moves to suppress the Darkshadow Archdemon. All of a sudden, a shadow leaped high up into the sky. A surprised Qin Ruo watched as something floated into his mind.

Netherspirit’s Claw, Dark Annihilator of Carefree Clan.
