Chapter 537: Island of Devils Maw (42)

Translator: Lonelytree

As Ambitionist said his piece, a pentagonal light zone appeared on the surface of the Leaf of Terror and it perfectly surrounded the Silkworm Mother within it. At that moment, the Silkworm Mothers powerful charge was halted. She was fixed on the edge of the light zone and found it impossible to move. Just from the effect alone, Ambitionists skill was incredibly powerful but it was practically impossible to put it into practice the main difficulty was that one had to lay down various magical artefacts in the position as pictured below first (The picture in question was a rather complicated magical zone). After Seal of Soul Imprisonment was inputted into the skill tab, the player would be able to see this picture within the window of skill details).

In a normal fight, if Ambitionist wanted to use this skill, there was only one method and that was to use his light arrows (in other words, the multiple non-corporeal artefact of the same property) to accurately mark out the location of the various magical spots and then use the skill. But the problem was during this preparatory period, the enemy probably would have wandered out from the zone of the seal already (The size of the zone was fixed within a certain limit, it couldnt be too big or too small). In other words he could have been planning for all day but it could have ended up for nothing

Of course, there were other ways to go about this, like readying the zone at a certain area and wait for the target to fall in the trap (Ambitionist had once used this method to kill a scenario boss before, the artefact that he used at the time was a string of rosary beads), but the chance for that to happen was not high and the scenario he was currently him definitely did not fit that condition. Thankfully the Silkworm Mother had an obvious weakness and that was she looked down on her opponent.

It was because of her arrogance that she treated the battle with the players as some sort of game; it was because of her arrogance that she abandoned the killing blow on Feng Bujue; it was because of her arrogance that she did not realize Ambitionist had been prepared this seal

Actually, the combined attack from Ambitionist, Pegasus and Atobe earlier was just a smokescreen. In the players previously decided plan, Seal of Soul Imprisonment was a key element. Be it Plan A where they split up and have one person to go save Uncle Worthless while the others distract the Silkworm Mother or Plan B where they all focused their attack on the boss both plans needed the Seal of Soul Imprisonment. If Plan A was successful, then the players would escape while this skill held the boss back; if they had to change to Plan B, the seal would become a powerful crowd control skill in battle, giving the players the opportunity to unleash their more powerful skills.

Considering the long preparation time needed to complete this skill, Ambitionist came up with a solution The plan was for Atobe, himself and Pegasus to all attack the Silkworm Mother with long-ranged attack of similar strength from afar to create an illusion that all three of them were attacking her at the same time but in reality within every few arrows that Ambitionist shot, he would plant a light arrow that could last longer at specific location. With the cover from his teammates, even if the Silkworm Mother noticed that, she would only think the light arrows had missed their target.

Quick, now is the time! After the skill succeeded, Ambitionist shouted, This bug is incredibly powerful! The Seal of Soul Imprisonment will not last for 20 seconds, we need to deal with her within 10 seconds! He was not wrong Just as the light zone was activated, its glow started to flicker, this was not a good portent The power of the zone was exhausted far quicker than expected. If this continued, much less 20 seconds, it probably would not last longer than 10 seconds.

Phew Atobe took a deep breath. After shaking loose from his fear, his eyes were burning with the desire to fight, Okay, Ill go first! Then he put away the Peac.o.c.k Fan and readied his bare fists. His right hand grabbed at the air and instantly a ball of white smoke gathered around it. The chill air materialized into a sword about three inches long and it glinted dangerously. A long blade formed from snow and ice appeared in Atobes grasp.

[Sorcery weapon?] That was Feng Bujues first reaction but now was not the time to ask Atobe about that and naturally he did not voice out the two words either.

Hah! With a light yelp, Atobe raised the blade above his head and spun half a circle before righting the tip of the blade before his forehead. Then the two fingers of his left hand caressed the body of the blade instantly the body of the blade was surrounded by a white glow.

Ice Wheel! Atobe radiated a white sorcery energy and rose into the sky. The ice blade in his grasp also lashed out at that moment.

Ding

The blade struck forward and the sound of a powerful armor breaking echoed into the sky. The glittering and crystal-clear energy landed fully on the Silkworm Mothers body. She was frozen within a large ice block within a second.

How did this happen?! The skill landed successfully. The Silkworm Mother gasped in shock. Only at that moment, she realized she had truly underestimated her opponents. The Silkworm Mother had a cruel and brutal personality and in terms of her power level she had the power to back up her personality. But she should not have been so careless when facing these travellers from another world because they were human beings.

No matter how many creatures from the multiverse looked down on human beings, they could not deny the strength of this species the strength did not come from their biological evolution, nor did it come from their spiritual enlightenment or even advancement in technology

The scariness of human being is due to their uncertainty and endless potential. That was a warning that the Executioner once gave Silkworm Mother and now she finally understood ita race that had endless potential was the most dangerous enemy.

its not over yet! Feng Bujue reacted quickly. When he saw that the body parts were still moving slowly in the air, he knew the Silkworm Mother was still alive, Go for the kill! While he reminded his teammates, Brother Jue himself made his move. Without holding back, he activated Body Enhancement Spell-upgraded, darted forward and followed it up with Flying Dragon Fist.

Ill help! Pegasus also stood up from the leaf. He wiped away the nose bleed and used Pegasasu Rysei Ken. At that moment, the light from the Seal of Soul Imprisonment had already faded away. Ambitionist who had his hands free now pulled on his bow and used the remaining of his Sorcery Points to channel it into a Spirit Spark!

Slicing, punching, piercing three directions, three ultimates.

Silkworm Mother who was encased in Ice Wheel was unable to evade. All she could do was to go for the last resort. With a determination to bring everyone down with her, she unleashed one last echo attack.

Cha A volume so loud it was palpable escaped from inside the Silkworm Mothers body and it swallowed everything around it like a wave. The players were not forced back, they resisted the damage from the sound wave and continue to channel their skill

In that moment, sparks flew and explosions went off consecutively. A whirlpool of energy weaved above the Leaf of Terror, colliding into each other raising a storm of blood and horror.

Several seconds later, the dust settled and the match had been decided.

The Silkworm Mothers body was shattered, she broke into several hundred ice lumps that were filled with blood. The players though were all half-kneeling on the ground and they were busy gulping down Life Points recovery Potions

Hah Hah Atobes breathing was rising and falling unevenly. After he swiped away his nosebleed, he suddenly laughed. Ha ha ha ha! We have won!

Aiz Feng Bujue though sighed. No if you look at it more closely, we still have lost
