Chapter 152 - 135 Fire Spirit Form - Transform!_2
Du Yibo suddenly cried out, "Something is attacking me, shit, I’m losing health points!"
"At nine o’clock, two meters away." Xiao Buli shouted in the midst of the chaos, while starting to chant a spell, he used Palm Thunder.
As a Shadow Leopard was about to pounce right in front of him, before it could leap, Xiao Buli had already blasted a Palm Thunder, a blue lightning bolt shot out from his hands, hitting the leaping shadow squarely, almost as if it had been zapped by high voltage, the black cat let out a miserable scream and was directly blasted away.
(Nice, this move feels good to use.) Xiao Buli thought, and Du Yibo also showed his mettle. Hearing Xiao Buli’s direction, he didn’t retreat but advanced, Flame Dragon Wave! The charred silhouette of a wild beast emerged within the flames.
"Damn it, so you were here, let’s see if I won’t roast you!" Du Yibo roared while sending one fireball after another, although the Shadow Leopard had been exposed, it was still exceptionally agile, constantly dodging and weaving with infuriatingly teasing movements, not getting hit even once.
"Back to back!" Xiao Buli commanded loudly. His Palm Thunder was still on cooldown, but two more Shadow Leopards emerged from the nearby woods. The Talisman Soldier tried its best to fend them off but, lacking any intelligence, it couldn’t hold them back.
"Shit, we’ve fallen into a nest of cats." Du Yibo and Xiao Buli stood back to back, continuously hurling fireballs. Now that the Shadow Leopards were visible either because they were attacking or being attacked, they didn’t rush the attack but kept circling around, seemingly aiming to further deplete the two men’s mana.
"Summon the big Stone Man quick!" Xiao Buli shouted. His Talisman Soldier was about to be clawed to death, while Du Yibo made a pained face, "That thing can only be summoned once a day."
"Come on, are you kidding me, is there no other ultimate move?" Xiao Buli shouted. He had activated his Fire Blade Skills, Internal Energy Infusion, and Tai Chi Sword Skills and was finally able to hold his own, though his mana was running low, especially since Earth Escape had already consumed a lot.
"Seems like there’s one more ultimate move," Du Yibo shouted, but it only lasts two minutes, and it’s another move that can only be used once a day.
Xiao Buli hesitated, then said, "Don’t use it yet, these beasts seem to be under someone’s command."
"How do you know?"
"Didn’t you see the suffix in their names?"
Du Yibo quickly looked, indeed, the suffix in the Shadow Leopards’ names was not (Demonized Beasts) but (Fei Jie’s Minions). He had been too panicked before, only realizing it when Xiao Buli mentioned it.
"Who is Fei Jie?"
"Stop talking, I’m searching!" Xiao Buli said, scanning the surrounding woods with his eyes. All of a sudden, a mass of darkness caught his attention. He had thought it was just a shadow, but now he noticed it was different from typical shadows, seemingly moving slowly.
"There’s a Demon Clan member, probably Fei Jie, hiding behind that withered tree to the east. Alright, now use your ultimate move to blast him out!"
Du Yibo hesitated, "What if I get it wrong?"
"It won’t be wrong, and even if it is, I still have my ultimate move." Xiao Buli said without hesitation.
"Alright, trust me this time, move away from my original spot, my move will cause collateral damage!" Xiao Buli quickly dodged to the side.
With gritted teeth, Du Yibo didn’t know what technique he used, but suddenly his entire body burst into flames, booming as if doused with gasoline, his whole body covered in crimson fire.
This was actually one of the advanced techniques of the Five Elements Warlock, Elemental Spirit Form: Fire Spirit, commonly referred to as Fire Spirit Form.
Fire Spirit Form: By harnessing the Flame Power, Five Elements Warlocks can temporarily obtain the form of an Elemental Creature.
The Fire Spirit Form is one of these, and in this state, the Five Elements Warlock can only use fire element spells and greatly enhances the power of fire element spells, becomes immune to fire spells, can absorb fire damage to convert to their own health points, physical damage received is halved, and ice element damage taken is doubled.
Depending on the skill level, unique abilities of the Fire Spirit can be obtained (this skill cannot be upgraded via experience points).
Du Yibo’s Fire Spirit Form was only at LV3, but it was already quite formidable. Not only was the power of fire spells increased by thirty percent, but he also gained two unique abilities of the Fire Spirit, Scorching Breath and Magma Touch. Magma Touch was passable, a close-range control ability that was ineffective against the extremely swift Shadow Leopards.
But Scorching Breath was an AOE range attack that sent out a scorching stream of fire with every breath, causing fire damage to enemies within a fan-shaped area, and with no mana consumption, its skill CD was only a scant three seconds.
The moment he completed his transformation, he began to randomly spray fire around, effectively turning into a human flamethrower, burning the Shadow Leopards who howled in pain as their health points plummeted. Moreover, because Scorching Breath caused sustained burning damage, the Shadow Leopards could no longer use their Stealth, and they scattered in all directions.
Xiao Buli watched with his tongue clicking in astonishment; the Five Elements Warlock was truly powerful. Such an ability was indeed worthy of the noble Mage Professions. Those Brick-Moving Warriors and Loser Thieves couldn’t possibly have such awesome ultimate moves.
While the Shadow Leopards were driven away, Du Yibo rushed towards the direction Xiao Buli had pointed out and forced the guy behind the tree out with a blast of Scorching Breath.
Fei Jie (Shadow Hunter), an advanced elite with a deep blue name. But considering the strength of the Demon Clan was a notch above that of humans, this guy was probably equivalent to an NPC with a silver name, something like Chu Yunfei of Longquan Sword Pavilion.
Fei Jie (Shadow Hunter) struck a pose with flair and said with a cold laugh, "To think I’d be seen through is truly surprising. I didn’t expect such a strong presence among the weak humans. But today, you will inevitably become the souls under my blade."
"Well, two versus one, we still have a chance," said Xiao Buli.
But Du Yibo gave a bitter smile and said, "I think you mean two versus seven."
Xiao Buli looked back and saw the Shadow Leopards had returned, counting six in total. Although each of them had its health points somewhat reduced by the fire, they still had the strength to fight.
"You take on the boss, try to maximize your damage output while the ultimate move is still active. I’ll handle the minor monsters, remember to call me before your ultimate ends!"
After saying this, Xiao Buli activated Flying on Grass and charged towards the opposing Shadow Leopards, while Du Yibo also attacked the boss.
This time, the leopards gave up playing hide-and-seek, seeming to think that this human was easier to deal with than the one who had hurled the giant fireball. A group of leopards, looking somewhat disheveled with their fur charred black, swarmed from six directions all at once and leaped into the air as they approached Xiao Buli, seemingly intent on tearing him apart.
Xiao Buli didn’t intend to hold back either, Ultimate Skill—Wind Rolls The Scattered Clouds, a powerful move that swept all six Shadow Leopards into it, instantly killing those with lower health and severely injuring the other three.
The life-draining effect of the Blood-Drinking Longsword was triggered countless times in that instant, filling Xiao Buli’s health points to the brim. Facing three injured kittens with full health, he resolved the fight in a matter of moments. Meanwhile, Du Yibo also shouted loudly, "Come help, my ultimate move’s duration is about to end!"
