Free Web NovelChapter 92: Chapter92-Void Wraith
LoranBlade was overjoyed as she took the key. She immediately sat down cross-legged, inserted the key into the lock, and began channeling the opening progress bar.
When John saw this scene, his gaze shifted slightly.
Because any treasure chest that required a progress bar to open usually meant that the item inside was definitely not ordinary.
The two of them fell into a long wait.
Five minutes later, the progress bar had advanced by one-tenth.
Ten minutes later, it had advanced by one-fifth.
The excitement on LoranBlade’s face gradually turned into embarrassment. Half an hour later, she maintained the posture of pressing both hands against the chest with an expression that looked utterly lifeless. Fine beads of sweat had already formed on her forehead.
"This thing... takes way too long to open..."
John leaned against the nearby tree and yawned.
Finally, the instant the progress bar filled completely, the gray-black chest lid suddenly sprang open.
A terrifying surge of spatial energy shot into the sky from inside the chest.
That energy was so dense that it almost solidified, stirring the clouds above into a huge vortex.
Wind pressure swept outward in all directions, making both of their robes flutter violently.
Immediately afterward, an extremely cold voice came from inside the chest.
"Three thousand years..."
A figure wrapped entirely in dark-purple mist slowly rose from the chest.
It wore a tattered black mage robe and a broken crown. Its withered hands gripped a bone staff, and the aura emanating from its body was ancient and rotten, like the soul of the dead that had crossed endless years to arrive here.
[Void Wraith Mage (BOSS)]
[Skills]: ???, ???, ???
[Description]: An undead mage who was sealed inside an ancient spatial chest for three thousand years. Due to severe injuries, its strength has greatly declined, leaving it with only 30,000,000 HP.
Even so, the Spatial Authority it controls is still enough to crush the vast majority of beings at the same rank.
LoranBlade’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
S-Rank...
Lv.200...
Thirty million HP...
She subconsciously tightened her grip on her sword hilt, her palm covered in cold sweat.
The Void Wraith Mage slowly lowered its head. Two clusters of ghostly blue soul flames ignited inside its empty eye sockets, staring straight at her.
"Was it you... who opened the seal?"
Its voice was hoarse and low. Every word sounded as if it had been forced out from deep inside its throat.
"In the first millennium, inside the chest, I vowed that whoever rescued me would receive a divine artifact."
"No one came."
"In the second millennium, I vowed that whoever rescued me would receive my service for one hundred years."
"Still, no one came."
"In the third millennium..."
Its soul flames suddenly surged, and monstrous resentment erupted in its voice.
"I swore that whoever opened this chest, I would personally tear them into ten thousand pieces!"
LoranBlade swallowed and forced herself not to retreat.
But her heart was already in complete panic. As her mind raced, an almost absurd idea suddenly emerged.
She steadied herself, then suddenly raised her hand and pointed at the chest beneath the Void Wraith Mage’s feet, shouting, freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"I don’t believe you can fit back inside!"
The Void Wraith Mage’s soul flames suddenly froze.
"What?"
"I said!" LoranBlade took a deep breath and raised her voice. "You’re such a huge lump. How could you possibly fit into such a small chest? You’re definitely just bluffing!"
The Void Wraith Mage was clearly provoked by those words.
It roared, "A mere ant dares question this one’s mastery of Law!"
Before its voice had even fallen, its body suddenly contracted, transforming into a ray of dark-purple light that shot straight back into the gray-black chest.
The chest lid was still suspended in midair and had yet to fall.
"Open your eyes and see clearly! This is the power of Spatial Authority!"
This was exactly the moment LoranBlade had been waiting for.
She rushed forward in one step and slammed both hands onto the chest lid, snapping it shut with a loud click.
The entire movement was smooth and fluid, completed in one breath.
The chest began shaking violently, and the furious roar of the Void Wraith Mage came from within.
"Bastard! You dared deceive this one! Let me out!"
LoranBlade pressed down on the chest lid with all her strength and turned to shout at John. freewёbnoνel.com
"Quick! It’s trapped inside again!"
Seeing this scene, John could not help laughing.
But he did not waste any time.
His left hand slowly gripped the hilt of Space Sever, while an extremely dense mass of fire elements began gathering at his chest.
This was exactly the moment he had been waiting for.
Although the Void Wraith Mage was severely injured, it was still an S-Rank Lv.200 BOSS.
If it were allowed to fully unfold its domain, then even if John could win, it would still take a bitter battle.
But right now, it was trapped inside the sealed space. Its Law power had no way to fully unfold.
It was like a gladiator whose hands and feet had been bound. No matter how strong it was, it could not display much of its combat power.
The shaking inside the chest grew more and more intense.
Fine cracks began appearing across the lid.
The next second—
Boom!
The chest lid was blasted away by a violent burst of spatial energy, and the figure of the Void Wraith Mage rushed out again, its soul flames burning with monstrous rage.
But the moment it charged out of the chest—
A pale-blue Voidblade Gale and a crimson pillar of flame descended at the same time with a thunderous roar.
[-1,533,421!]
[-2,310,112!]
Two damage numbers floated up one after another, totaling nearly four million damage, instantly blasting the body of the Void Wraith Mage backward just as it emerged from the chest.
It had just tried to condense its domain when it realized this was only the beginning!
Because in the next instant, two more attacks followed immediately after.
John’s attacks never stopped.
As Space Sever slashed out another Voidblade Gale, the second Wrath of Flames gathering in front of his chest had already finished charging.
[-1,682,988!]
[-2,791,445!]
Two consecutive rounds of burst damage totaled nearly nine million, smashing into the Void Wraith Mage like a heavy hammer.
The dark-purple mist around it exploded wildly, and its body trembled violently in midair.
And John clearly had no intention of giving it a chance to breathe.
The third round.
The fourth round.
One Voidblade Gale after another alternated with Wrath of Flames, pouring down like a storm onto the Void Wraith Mage’s broken body.
[-1,487,722!]
[-2,638,481!]
[-1,592,033!]
[-2,990,329!]
When the final damage number floated up, the Void Wraith Mage’s 30,000,000 HP had already been completely reduced to zero.
Its body froze in midair for an instant. The two clusters of soul flames in its hollow eye sockets flickered violently, then finally went out completely like dying candles.
"Im... possible..."
It forced out its final three words in broken fragments.
Then its body crumbled inch by inch like shattered porcelain, transforming into countless dark-purple specks of light that dissipated into the wind.
[You have killed a Lv.200 Void Wraith Mage (S-Rank BOSS). EXP +200,000, gold coin +2,000, Reputation +20,000!]
The system notification rang inside John’s mind.
He slowly sheathed his sword and exhaled.
LoranBlade, standing nearby, was completely stunned.
She had been counting the damage numbers from the very beginning. When she saw the first round hit nearly four million damage, she had already been shocked in her heart.
But then came the second round, the third round, the fourth round...
Every round kept stacking higher, and the final hit had even soared to nearly three million damage in a single strike.
The total damage had probably broken past thirty million, right?
In other words, that S-Rank BOSS with thirty million HP had not even had time to unfold its domain from beginning to end before John forcefully drowned it to death with one combo chain.
LoranBlade slowly closed her wide-open mouth.
After a long silence, she finally said only one sentence.
"...Isn’t your damage a little ridiculous?"
