Chapter 370: [ Intense battle against the Mummy Lord (3) ]
Allen’s body was knocked to the ground like he had been hit by a shell due to the shockwave generated by his attack.
After crashing into a giant pillar, his momentum still kept him rolling for a few meters. As he lay face down on the ground with his arms and legs roughly sticking at, he looked somewhat like a broken doll that had been thrown away in a trash.
Gritting his teeth, Allen mustered all his strength and stood back up. Although he wanted to kill the giant mummy, ironically, in a sense, he unexpectedly received quite a huge damage due to his own attack as well.
What an embarrassing dilemma...
He never thought such an attack was actually very destructive! Not only for his opponent but also for himself…!!
Allen felt his mana reduced by almost half of his overall mana capacity. With his high mana regeneration, even with all his attacks up until now, his mana was easily been restored in an instant. But that kind of attack actually used almost half of his mana? What the hell is this skill…?
Even with his peak, he can only use that attack twice or trice in succession… the heck!?
Using Demon slaying pistol, activating [ Explosion ] while boosting its speed and destructive power with lightning, actually created such a high-level attack skill…!!
[ Meteor Shot ] was really terrifying.
– Since it looked like a meteor, Allen decided to call it, [ Meteor Shot ]!
A cloud of dust covered the entire ruins and even the sounds of fighting unexpectedly ceased.
Aside from the constant sound of falling rocks and sands, the entire ruins were extremely silent and eerily quiet.
What happened…?
When the cloud of dust finally thinned down, Allen finally saw the state of the ruins and this caused his eyebrows to twitch violently.
What the hell!!?
A massive crater appeared on the giant Mummy’s former position.
As for the giant Mummy itself, it was nowhere to be seen, more like, it seems to have been torn apart by the meteor shot. Severed limbs and gore flesh could be seen lying around the crater. Even the monsters and undead nearby were turned into burned meat flesh.
It was really horrifying so to speak. The destruction it caused was really out of Allen’s expectation!
Seeing this, Allen immediately opened the Summoning Grimoire and checked the others wellbeing. Fortunately, they seemed to be alright –though, Lama, Fiona, and some tamed beasts seemed to have been injured due to the impact and rubbles. Fortunately, there were no grave injuries… Allen sighs in relief…
He really needs to apologize after this battle…
Well, there were still many monsters and undead that had survived the explosion. But Allen ignored them. His focus was entirely on finding the Mummy Lord.
It had disappeared…
Allen activated all his search type skills since his vision was a bit impeded by the clouds of dust as well as rubbles. As he focused his attention on it, suddenly, Swoosh! along with the sound of wind tearing the empty air, Allen felt a chill crawling on his spine and he reflexively dove towards the side.
Slashed!! A wind blade or like type magic spell cut the place where his neck was at. Allen felt a cold sensation on his neck. Fortunately, he had trusted his instinct and managed to successfully escape the attack.
But, the moment he thought that he was finally safe, another attack from nowhere hit Allen’s back, and the force sent him stumbling back a few feet. Before Allen could gather himself, he saw another wave of belligerent barrage coming at him.
In desperation, Allen rolled on the ground and then with his right foot, kicked the ground with all he had and soared into the sky.
But not before long, a tremendous pressure overwhelms him. It’s as if the sky had collapsed, causing him to bear all the weight of the world.
This is…?
Gravity magic!!?
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Still, Allen endures the high gravity forcibly and spread his wings like an eagle, his eyes lit up and the aura around him become even stronger, stabilizing his condition.
After Allen felt better from the gravity increase while flying, he then stares forward.
There, his opponent, the Mummy Lord was standing not too far away from him. Violet light that looks like ripple creeps around it, and its body shines golden.
However, if one looks closely, the Mummy Lord’s right leg was muggled and seemed to have been severed, though it was already slowly healing and reconnecting. There were many burn marks on the bandages around its body as well and even his right arm was still sizzling in smoke.
Looking at this, the Mummy Lord certainly didn’t escape unscathed!
“That attack…superb!” The golden Mummy Lord muttered as it covers its whole body with a violet light once again.
Oops, this isn't the time to gloat and think about it.
“Just what are you…friend? All this while, I've been trying to turn you into stone with magic eye since a while ago, but it's not working at all,”
“… …”
“It’s unbelievable, your resistances, that is…”
Allen shrugs after hearing the Mummy Lord’s words. Indeed, just a while ago, Allen recalled there was indeed a notification that had appeared but since he was in the battle, he just brushed it off and ignored it.
From what he had remembered, aside from petrification, a lot of special attacks like paralyze, and curse are displayed in an array, but everything has been resisted.
Because of this, Allen had unexpectedly acquired skills; [ Petrification Resistance ] [ Curse Resistance ] [ Curse Magic ] [ Fear resistance ] and [ Intimidation ].
As for how, Allen guessed that it was probably because of his innate physiques; the Angel of Death Physiology and Dragon King of Envy Physiology, which these skills had originally been a part of, they were awakened or what you can call, dig out due to the Mummy Lord’s constant attacks.
However, even still, his body lagged for a moment causing for him to be hit during the battle a while ago. It wasn’t noticeable but for high-level people, they won’t be overlooked!
Well, as for his Curse Resistance, he should thank his Angel of Death Physique and Solomon’s innate body that originally possess the Curse Resistance from his past endeavors. Sadly, this ability was not enough for extremely high-level curses.
But for someone like the Mummy Lord, his current level of resistance was enough for Allen to resist.
Thanks to my cheat self-healing skills, such as [ Flawless Restoration ] his wounds have disappeared in just an instant. It still hurts though, But not to the degree that impeded his fighting capability.
Even so, mana is used for recovery, so I should take care as not to get hurt as much as possible. My mana is not unlimited. Besides, it hurts after all.
Sparks flew from Allen’s body.
Bang……!!!
Without any warning, the Mummy Lord rushed forward. Although it was stereotypical for it of such stature to use brute force, this rush emitted a crushing pressure; very different from a mindless brute.
Facing this charge, Allen stood his ground. An attack was only lethal if it struck its target.
Sparks continued to crackle around him like dancing golden snakes.
With augmented reflexes and vision, Allen dodged the Mummy lord’s explosive attack with its crook in time.
Normally, although an undead like a Mummy had powerful explosive strength, their agility was lacking in comparison to other undead. Still, the boss monster, Mummy Lord wasn’t included in this disadvantage.
This monster excelled in both power and speed. Whether it was a physical attack or magic attack, the Mummy Lord outclasses many Deities!
In fact, the only reason why Allen had managed to contend against it equally was due to his numerous OP abilities as well as innate physiques --especially the Dragon Physique and [ Goro Goro no Mi ]!
With only his level, he would have been defeated long ago!
As Allen dodged the oncoming punch, he countered with a blow at a person’s weak spot—the chest. His arms coated with intense lightning and blue flames, it was a very powerful combo attack.
BANGGG!!
Upon impact, Allen felt an incredible resistance on his fist.
Immediately, another fist was thrown at his head. If this attack hit, then his neck would definitely snap.
He immediately pulled back, exploding backward. A violent colored light coated flail slashed on his former position.
Booom!! Another sonic boom rang out behind Allen and the Mummy Lord’s back when they accelerated.
Fists against fists then become sword against the crook and flail. Clashes generated sparks and explosions causing shockwaves to blow away everything in the vicinity!
Whoosh whoosh.
Two depressions appeared on Allen’s chest. Although he’d dodged several attacks, the pressure from each attack of the Mummy Lord was sufficient enough to cause bodily harm.
Mummy Lord, this monster was so ferocious and overbearing!
The defense was the core of many warriors. If they could exert control over their attacks as well, then they’d become the most powerful fighters in the world.
The Mummy Lord suddenly launches ranged magic.
Allen was caught off guard and immediately kick up the air below his feet, curling his wings around him and make it into a shield.
Bang!!!
The Mummy Lord’s magic destroys the anti-magic barrier of the Dragon Clan in just less than a second and immediately rushes to him.
The Dragon Clan’s anti-magic barrier broke in an instant, showing how powerful the Mummy Lord’s attack. But even so, the barrier brought him enough time.
Allen’s body turned into a flash and disappeared. The Mummy Lord’s magic pierced the air and boom!! Bursting the broken rubble behind.
Allen reappeared a few meters behind the Mummy Lord and took a big breath and spewed out water column as well as blue flames coated with intense lightning from his mouth.
Water and fire, the two different elements coiled around each other like intimate snakes and rushed towards the Mummy Lord.
The Mummy Lord was late to react.
He twisted his body and was about to dive forward but the speed of the breath was terrifying and half of the Mummy Lord’s body was blasted. His left arm, plank and leg disappeared without a trace.
Naturally, Allen only shot this powerful attack after learning that Asmodeus, Baishe and the others had already left the ruins vicinity, which even the woman from before was brought along.
As for Dakna, it was still fighting with the Sphinx on the surface, outside the ruins. Dakna seems to be having a hard time since the Sphinx seems to be almost immortal.
Baishe and the others rush out to help her.
Thus, inside the ruins, aside from occasional monsters, only undead were left!
With this, Allen can now fight the Mummy Lord without worrying about anything.
