Second World-Novel

Chapter 1726 - 1726 . Old Adversaries

While each of the eternal grade combatants found their opponents, many on the battlefield also somehow encountered old faces.

Four Winds, who followed the black shields to scale the wall was engaged by Abasi again. The Raretooth clan had been assigned to cover this side of the wall.

"Give it up, Abasi!" Four Winds yelled. "The country you take refuge in will soon be defeated. If you still care about your clan, surrender! You will receive punishment but I promise your clan will be pardoned."

"Never!!" Abasi yelled back. "Win or lose hasn't been decided yet, and I still haven't fulfilled my vengeance. I will not stop until then!"

Abasi knew Jeanny, his father's killer, was in Master's hand. Abasi didn't understand why Master was keeping Jeanny alive, but Master promised Abasi that he would be given the right to kill Jeanny once this war was over. Hence, he couldn't stop now when his vengeance was so close.

On the other side, True Death Associates engaged Death Associates. Both sides were yelling traitors while they fought. In terms of members and experts, Death Associates had the advantage. True Death Associates could be said as a relatively new guild, they hadn't had much time to grow. But in this battle, they were not alone. They had many allies due to being in the allied forces. Black Cloak and Wicked Witches' members were with them. Together, they fought Death Associates to secure the area on the battlement.

On another side, Wilted's gang aimed the battlement the World Ruler's members were guarding. Handsome Joe and Anotherday were the first two to arrive atop the battlement following the native soldiers. Working together with those native soldiers, they secured a foothold for others to climb up.

Both Handsome Joe and Anotherday had special classes. Handsome Joe was an Arcane Knight, a second-class special class. This class had the passive ability to reduce the resistance of hit enemies, making those enemies more susceptible to magic.

The first skill this special class provided was giving the user the ability to conjure a second spectral projection and extend both projections' duration by an additional ten minutes. Two spectral projections of Handsome Joe fought at melee while he stayed back and used Spectral Discharge.

The second skill of this special class allowed Handsome Joe to switch places with one of his spectral projections. The cooldown of this skill was one minute, so he could switch places every minute if needed.

"Hey sister," Joe switched places with one of his projections who fought near Mistress. "How do you feel when the situation is reversed? No longer sit at the back and haughtily watch the battle from afar?"

Mistress didn't respond to the taunt. She simply cast Soul Bomb. The soul orb above her flared intensely before shooting at Joe.

"Hey, there is no need to be like that even if you are angry!" Joe quickly retreated when the soul bomb approached.

His switch ability was still on cooldown so he cast Mana Shield and used a non-standard mage knight's skill, Spectral Shield. The two defensive skills reduced much of the damage from the soul bomb. But since soul damage had no resistance, all unreduced damage hit Joe in full.

One of World Ruler's top experts, Axelmax, came lunging with his pet, the armored silver-fur gorilla. They intended to finish Joe whose HP was already critical.

A series of knives came flying at Axelmax and his gorilla. The two had no choice but to parry the knives, saving Joe from doom. The most update n0vels are published on novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

The knives were from Anotherday, whose class had upgraded to Silent Killer, a second-class special class. This class gave Anotherday several passive abilities. Two of which were muffling the sound caused by his projectiles and gave him the double throw ability. Double Throw ability made it so that the projectiles thrown from each of his hands used different cooldown timers. This effectively doubled all his skill counts. It would be as if he possessed two classes of hidden weapon specialists.

"Stop teasing your sister. Fight seriously!" Anotherday chided Joe.

Anotherday was fighting another World Ruler expert named Serviceman. Serviceman was a battle monk. He tried approaching Anotherday but two chakrams which revolved around Anotherday prevented him from getting near.

These two chakrams were produced by one of the skills from Anotherday's special class. Once thrown, the chakram revolved around the thrower until it completed its duration. Any melee combatant trying to approach would be cut by this chakram.

Joe didn't take Anotherday's warning lightly. He retreated as his two spectral projections advanced and fought Axelmax and his gorilla. A reaver's soul orb came from behind him. This soul orb turned into a healing light that brought his HP back to safety.

"Thanks!" Joe exclaimed.

The soul orb was from Wilted Tree. She had also climbed the battlement. She had another soul orb above her even when she had just used a soul orb to heal Joe. This was the passive ability of her Soul Reaper. The ability enabled her to form another soul orb after the first one was filled. The maximum number of soul orbs she could have was three soul orbs.

She now used this second soul orb to activate one of her special class skills, Revitalizing Blast.

The second soul orb exploded into a blinding flash. The flash healed all allies in the vicinity as well as purging them from negative afflictions. Enemies who were inside the blast radius didn't receive damage but they received Blind status.

She threw a metal ball and this metal ball enlarged into Mazin. Mazin's appearance had changed since Jack last saw it. It was bulkier and its black casing had a shiny metallic look. Behind it was a backpack with two red metal wings.

Wilted's technocraft had also upgraded to a first-class special class, Mech Master. She used the first skill of this class, Limiter Off. Some plates on Mazin's casing appeared to break off upon the activation of this skill. Streams of hot steam were released from those parts. The visual effect was similar to when Paytowin used Overdrive on his Brave Techno Suit.

The Limiter Off skill improved Mazin's stats by a great deal. The winged backpack behind him produced a jet propulsion. Its heavy body shot forward in Mistress' direction.
