Chapter 114: Gloria

An array of roars sounded from everywhere .

In the distance, a figure could be seen leaping among the trees, followed by several dark figures . Meanwhile, the sound of the Orc got closer and closer . Soran picked Vivian up on his back and prepared to evacuate . Gloria quickly cast a spell, but the monsters seemed to have found them . They could vaguely see several muscular figures jumping off tree poles, and the monsters were going to go around to encircle them . One of the most striking figures was a large black leopard .

Mutant beasts!

Some special beasts had some mutated genes, probably related to the taboo experiments during the Arcane Empire . They had been in large numbers for some time but were captured and killed . Many of them fled to the stars and the outer planes . Some creatures on the material plane also inherited these mutated genes, which activated once they reached a certain grade . The mutant beasts had magic-like abilities, but they were very rare . Most of the beasts were only highly intelligent and had powerful killing abilities .

These mutant beasts were said to be the failed Lycanthropy experiments .

Soran stopped and handed Vivian to Gloria, which was next to him . The black leopard that stopped in front of him was quite difficult to deal with . It was close to the size of a Siberian tiger, and its graceful body had distinct muscle contours, just like a bodybuilding champion in the realm of beasts . It may be even stronger than the brown bear . The power of its claws may be able to tear armor . The leopard’s speed was so fast that Soran did not dare to continue running, because it would expose his back to it .

No creature in the realm was faster than this mutated large leopard in short sprints .

The leopard was among the more dangerous creatures in the wilderness because you could hardly run faster than them . Soran took a deep breath right before his attack, and then his muscles got tense . He jumped a distance of more than ten meters and swung his curved sword down on the top of the leopard’s head . There was no armor on the beast, only its hide, which was not resistant to his attack .

With a gentle leap, the giant leopard shunned his attack agilely and showed a human-like sarcastic smile on its face . The animal was smarter than he had imagined, and it’s monster level might have reached three or higher .

But it was still too careless!

Soran raised his finger swiftly . Then, in just a second, his fingertips fired two Arcane Missiles out . No matter how fast the leopard was, at such close range, there was no escape . In the next moment, a small hole was opened in the leopard’s neck . Two Arcane Missiles pierced its leopard skin, leaving a wound about three centimeters deep . Blood gushed out .

With Soran’s spellcasting score and proximity, the Arcane Missiles did at least 20 damage!

One point in spellcasting score would enhance one point of Arcane Missile power . It was common for high-grade Wizards to use Arcane missile to pierce armor . Since Soran’s spellcasting score was more than ten points, even if the leopard’s Constitution was able to absorb some damage, it would still be lightly wounded .

Immediately, the injured leopard seemed slower, and Soran swung his sword down and slashed it on the back . The wound was nearly five centimeters deep . But, after breaking through the muscles, there was no more strength in his attack, thus he could only pull back his sword .

One’s Constitution would be able to reduce the damage taken!

In general, two points in Constitution would mean a 1-point increase damage reduction . Some creatures were so strong that they could even use their muscles to block weapons .

The Dragon was such a creature .

Without extraordinary weapons to deal with the Dragon species, even if one could break its skin, it would be difficult to cut its tough muscles and reach its internal organs . It was just impossible to kill a Dragon by making it lose blood .

The cold light of claws flashed by .

The strong and tough tail of the leopard swung like a whip . Soran twisted away but was left with three shallow scratches on his arms . The leopard tail whipped at his waist, but he could still take it with his Constitution .

Other monsters nearby were getting closer and closer . Soran could not afford to waste any time . He took out his Dead Wood Staff in an instant and pointed it to the leopard in front of him .

A glow of magic shot out from the staff .

Suddenly, the weeds on the ground grew like tough vines around the leopard . Even if it had the power of large cats, it could not get rid of it for a few seconds .

A few seconds was enough for Soran . He jumped on the back of the leopard and pressed down with his legs, immobilizing the leopard . Then, he clenched his curved sword with both hands and cut down hard . [Heavy Hack], an instant burst of energy, and the curved sword cut off the head of the black panther .

A gush of fresh blood shot out three to five meters and the body of the panther became stiff .

A row of data appeared .

Activated [Heavy Hack]!

Targets head has been chopped!…dealt 125 critical damage!…target is dead!

Extracting soul energy .

You’ve received 2450 Slaughter EXP!

It really was a grade 3 or above panther .

It probably had a monster level of around 12 . If it weren’t for my magic attack, it would have been a tougher opponent than the Earth Elementals .

“Careful big brother!”

Suddenly there was a cry of surprise from Vivian, who was behind Soran . At that moment, Gloria swiftly cast two spells at high speed . First, she cast a buff on herself and Vivian, then she raised her hand and pointed it forward to shoot out a blood-red ray .

“Finger of Death!”

Somewhere close by, an arrow was shot out, but Soran didn’t think much about it . He swiftly activated the Elemental Stone he had, and a yellowish trail of soil on the ground spread to his whole body . As soon as the spell Skin Stone was on him, a sharp arrow flew in and hit him directly in the chest . The power of the arrow made him step backward .

In the woods ahead, a tall, burly Orc held a bow and was looking at Soran with killing intent .

However, after what had happened the Orc became shocked!

The arrow shot him in the chest, but it just got stuck between his ribs . The arrow should have gone through him, but the spell Stone Skin had offset a damage of more than 20 . Also, because he had an extraordinary 20 Constitution and damage reduction, even though the arrow shot him in the chest, the damage was far lower than expected . Soran gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow . Because his leather armor was pierced, the opponent must be using a strong bow of high quality .

A dark red ray hit the tall, burly Orc . At the next moment, its whole body stiffened for a moment, and then fell flat on the floor!

Level 7 spell [Finger of Death]!

The Finger of Death used by the high-grade Northern Witch was no joke . It was not easy for any profession below the fourth grade to pass the instant death trail .

If the person did not pass the trial, they would die instantly!

Soran pulled out the arrow but could not care about the wound . He swung his sword to block the attack of another half-blooded Orc beside him . The heavy battle ax that the Orc swung down with fierce force made his whole body sink . From another direction, a Gnoll-like half-blooded creature threw out a hatchet . He was about to hit Soran in the back .

Tang!

The hatchet seemed to have hit a sturdy marble, and Soran’s leather armor only had a little dent; he was hardly harmed . His opponent wasn’t that strong, and it must have had no special training in throwing weapons since the attack damage of the hatchet did not exceed 20 . The attack simply failed to break Soran’s Stone Skin protection .

The existence of the Northern Witch attracted the attention of the hunters . At least half of the hunters bypassed Soran and rushed to Gloria and Vivian behind him . Since Wizards were the most terrible beings, the enemy tried to kill them before they had the chance to cast their spells . A monster with a ferocious face, which Soran could not recognize, roared and began to grow bigger . It then took a deep breath and started to sprint on the ground with all its limbs . The speed was almost unbelievable!

A berserk half-blood beast!

In the face of such a dangerous situation, Gloria wasn’t fazed . She had time to pull Vivian behind her . Then, she swiftly pulled out her staff and a fireball the size of a basin shot out from her staff . The sprinting monster had no time to stop . It was rushing in at high speeds . It also just so happen to enter the core area of fireballs explosion .

In an instant, its body was a mess of flesh, and its chest had been blown to smithereens .

“Watch carefully Vivian!”

Gloria had an awe-inspiring aura, and it was completely different from what Soran knew . Gloria then asked Vivian in a cool voice, “Do you remember the velocity calculations I taught you? Target position and magic prediction are very important skills . Many enemies are very fast . Magic does not necessarily have to be aimed at the target to be effective!”

A gust of roaring wind blew .

Two axes and a long knife were thrown at their positions . Gloria did not care at all . She slammed her staff into the ground and then proceeded to cast a spell with both hands at high speed . At the same time, she said, “Magic protection is the essence of the caster . You should always be under the cover of a field of energy’s protection in battle . ”

Pang! Pang! Bang!

The weapons thrown out seemed to have hit the air, making a dull noise when it hit the field of energy . Gloria’s expression did not change at all, as if she did not care about the enemies that were coming .

Concentration was the most important basic skill of the caster in a battle . The caster should not be distracted by the enemy and interrupt his or her spellcasting . Concentration would also make them more sensitive to the changes around them .

“Black Tentacles!”

Six energy tentacles burst out of the earth and attacked the enemies . Half of the enemies rushing in nearby were stuck in an instant . Then they were rolled up and hung upside down by the energy tentacles . The Black Tentacles of the high-grade Witch were completely different from those of Soran’s . The energy tentacles wrapped and strangled two enemies swiftly . Then all the people close to them were entangled and dragged into the air .

Gloria then slowly pulled up her staff and said, “Vivian . Keep in mind that to us Wizards, control is more important than Damage . ”

There was a strange silence on the battlefield .

Everyone, including Soran, witnessed the real power of a high-grade Northern Witch at that moment!

That was the strength of high-grade spellcasters!
