YM778.TV Chapter 78 Amberros Death
"Woah, they are hiding well enough that people going around the small mountain wouldn\'t notice unless they were flying above, "Rin exclaimed. "Did they bring those people here to eat after fighting somewhere in the mountain?" she wondered. On the other hand, Isabella just lightly sighed at the sight.
"Seems like it was a team of three or four that went to a place they shouldn\'t have," Erix muttered as he activated his talent.
[ Black Soil Bear ] n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
_Level: 57
_Vitality: [4300/4300]
_Potential: D-grade.
_Gene Completion: 3%.
[Black Soil Bear ]
_Level: 53 _Vitality: [4000/4000]
_Potential: C-grade.
_Gene Completion: 16%.
Erix turned his head to the strange Panther.
[ Nyx Amber Panther ]
_Level: 63 _Vitality: [4500/4500]
_Potential: A-grade.
_Gene Completion: 64%.
\'That sneaky bastard is even eating cautiously, yet it\'s already level 63?\' Erix smacked his lips and internally grinned. \'I\'ll use Death Bones on it.\'
"Rin, Isabella, use your new skills and kill the bears. I want Panther alive to use my Death Bones skill, so I\'ll focus on it."
"I think it will run instead of fighting head-on," Rin narrowed her eyes as she judged the Panther\'s mentality from its behavior.
"Yeah, this one seems the type that attacks from the back unless given no other choice, so if you two target the bears first, it might directly choose to run," Erix grinned. "But I\'ll be on its black tail to capture it."
"You two are too sharp," Isabella wryly smiled.
Rin smiled with lightning flickering in her eyes. "Let\'s go, Isabella-sis. Time to practice our newly created skills and hone them further."
"Then I\'ll start with mine on the bears," Isabella nodded as she took a deep breath and created a Wind Elemental Zone after switching to Wind Elemental Gear.
The name that Mystic Roots system gave Isabella\'s skill was \'Vortex Flame Lance.\' And this Fire-attributed skill couldn\'t be executed without her Wind Elemental Zone.
Isabella consumed Ether energy and Mana as she used her skill rune to activate the skill, immediately sensing the magic formation she created.
The nodes were in a lance-shaped formation, and they were constantly spinning in the order Isabella formed them, thus creating a spinning Lance of flame!
As it spun and Isabella controlled, the spinning flame of Lance absorbed all wind energy in the Wind elemental zone to boost its firepower and even increase its spinning speed!
She couldn\'t control the wind elements that were attracted into her Wind Elemental Zone from nature, but she could forcefully use them as fuel to increase her firepower!
Although they were high up in the sky, the Nyx Amber Panther noticed something and looked up, only to see a flaming lance hurling there.
Its tail straightened for a second to indicate the sudden shock it felt, and it quickly scurried away.
*BOOM*
-3190!
-3190!
The lance struck the two bears and exploded, causing their vitality to reduce drastically.
*Crackle!*
Rin shot downward to finish off the bears while Erix\'s aura vision was on, and he kept his eyes on the running Panther.
\'Fast, but not fast enough. As for its route...\'
…
The Panther was running and soon jumped off the small mountain before landing on a tree and jumping again before landing on the ground.
It shook its body while the orange crystal patterns on its body shined, and it started running again.
Just as it entered the area with a thicker jungle, a huge object crashed into it, causing it to see the stars in daylight.
*Grrrr*
Behind it, Erix\'s Scarbio Zombie gripped its upper two legs and immobilized it.
The Panther exerted its strength to break away from the zombie\'s grip and was almost going to succeed thanks to its higher strength. Still, Erix\'s command nailed it with the sharp nails of Scarbio Zombie and dissipated its struggles while injuring it.
*Smash!*
Not even a second later, Erix threw a full-powered punch at the pather\'s head, making it dizzy and injuring it.
"Hold it tightly."
Afterward, Erix pointed his palm at the beast and used his skill, Death Bones.
His palm released a burst of undead energy and enveloped the Panther. Erix consumed a total of 630 Undead Energy.
Three seconds later, the beast was covered in a black cocoon with a faint dark green and orange pulsing hue.
\'One minute more?\' Erix felt it would take a minute for the process in the cocoon to complete, so he waited.
Rin and Isabella arrived shortly and stood beside Erix.
"Death Bones, I wonder what kind of power it will have?" Rin curiously wondered. "But I highly doubt you can make a skeleton with Death Bones."
"Yeah, well, I thought I could, but it depends on the result that we\'ll see soon," Erix said.
Isabella nodded. "The cocoon is still big, so it doesn\'t look like a single bone or something else made from its body."
\'Wait…don\'t tell me this skill basically turns living creatures into undead creatures?\' Erix thought before shaking his head. \'No, the skill clearly mentions it\'s a weapon.\'
[Death Bones]
_Type: Class skill.
_Cost: 100-??? Undead Energy.
_Use: You can refine any alive creature into a unique weapon called death bone with potent corrosive property + a single aspect of the refined creature. The cost of refinement depends on the target. Death Bones are highly effective against defenses and barriers.
*Crack!*
The trio saw a crack opening in the cocoon before bursting into sparkling black motes and vanishing, leaving behind a meter-long hollow black cannon barrel with white and dark orange patterns.
At the back of the cannon barrel was a hand inserter. It seemed that this was a hand cannon.
[Amberros Death]: _Type: Projectile Death Bone.
_Cost: 50 - 600 per shot.
_Stats:
—> Attack: 400 + 200% of Undead energy consumed + 150% of magic power.
_Effect(s):
—> Death Smear: All defenses and barriers gradually die via corrosion upon getting hit. The speed of corrosion depends on the target\'s durability and the user\'s consumed undead energy.
—> Fiery Shards: When the cannon\'s shot hits something, it explodes with fiery dark orange shards that deal fire-attributed damage.
"So I get something like this…" Erix put his hand in the back of the cannon and could feel a smooth trigger inside.
He pointed at a boulder and pulled the trigger, causing the cannon barrel to release a palm-sized black orb with a faint dark orange and dark green hue by consuming 50 undead energy.
*Boom!*
The boulder was destroyed with a blast while roughly twenty fiery shards exploded and further wrecked it.
"Powerful."
"It has to be powerful," Rin crossed her arms. "After all, you made it from a level 63 Supra-order beast and your class skill."
"Then, let\'s continue hunting?" Isabella said as she looked at the thick woods where the Panther was entering. "This thicker forest stretches ten kilometers to the south," Erix cracked his neck. "Well, I think it\'s a good place to farm. Let\'s go."
...
The trio went inside and started hunting monsters while time passed by. When the evening arrived, they finally returned with a loot of 28 beast cores, a few items, and a couple of skills scrolls. The number of dropped things was reduced by a lot!
"Let\'s rest for half an hour and then start our combat training with people and recruit some who are good."
"Two birds with one stone."
