Chapter 347: - Had the Demon Been Defeated?
Broken struggled to hold his ground. The demon's movements were quick and precise, effortlessly dodging the numerous strikes aimed at it from all directions.
Every few moments, Infernak spat fire from its mouth, forcing Broken to use his dash skill to narrowly avoid the scorching flames. His protective abilities from the Invincible Paragon set had been pushed to their limits and were rapidly depleting, leaving him more exposed with every passing second.
"You can't escape me!" the demon roared with a booming laugh.
Despite knowing that the demon had taken a tremendous amount of damage, Broken couldn't help but notice that Infernak still showed no signs of being close to defeat-its Health was exceptionally high. This clearly wasn't just any monster.
Could this be a Raid Boss? Was it the same Raid Boss that Subaru and the others had been fighting earlier? No ordinary creature could possess this kind of overwhelming power.
The demon flapped its wings and surged toward Broken, allowing more damage to hit its body while it let out a thunderous scream.
"Life Link Reversal!" the demon bellowed.
What the hell is that?
Suddenly, a chain of energy shot out from the demon's chest, snaking through the air and latching onto Broken.
"Hahaha! Now you will suffer from your own attacks!" the demon taunted, as continuous damage rained down on it.
[You are affected by Life Link Reversal. All damage and health received in the past 5 seconds will be shared evenly. For the next 5 seconds, any health or damage received will be reversed and transferred between both parties.]
Damn, that's why the demon was allowing so much damage to hit it!
Broken watched in horror as his health began to plummet rapidly.
"Hahaha, feel the pain of your own damage!" the demon bellowed with a booming laugh. [You are taking massive damage over time!]
[Ethereal Form has been activated. This will protect you from physical attacks and increase the damage you receive from magic for five seconds. Your Health will also be fully restored to 100%.]
Broken shifted into his Ethereal Form, his body cloaked in shimmering silver energy. He lifted his head defiantly. "No, you're wrong," he said calmly.
He activated his dash, quickly putting distance between himself and the demon. His Health surged up and down rapidly, stabilizing for brief moments as he received double regeneration from Nature Healing and Ethereal Form.
The demon roared in fury as its body began to crumble, falling apart in sections. Explosions erupted from within its body-first its wings, then its arms-each detonation more violent than the last.
"No... ARGHHHH!" the demon screamed as its body tore itself apart, detonating in a series of fiery blasts.
Broken maintained his distance, keeping safe until the final explosion ripped through the air. [You have defeated The Scorched Tyrant Infernak Lvl. 220]
Broken exhaled deeply in relief as the flames continued to flicker in the spot where Infernak once stood.
"Finally, you're dead!" he muttered. "Now, gimme my loot."
But something felt off-there should've been more notifications than just the demon's death message. This time, however, nothing appeared. A strange unease gripped Broken, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right about Infernak's demise. It was as if the battle had ended, but the true threat still lingered, just beyond his awareness.
The charge time was completed. Broken released the arrow, which shot forward with a burst of energy, streaking through the air like a bolt of lightning. It struck the demon square in the chest, tearing through its fiery body and leaving a gaping hole in its wake. The impact was devastating, causing the demon's defenses to drop by 30%, making it more vulnerable than
ever.
The demon, still restrained by Dendros and the others, writhed in pain, unable to close the
distance.
No, this wasn't over yet. Broken knew he needed another devastating hit to finish the demon
off.
[Explosive Arrow (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
A skill from his Super Novice class. With a five-second charge time, it unleashed a colossal blast, delivering a staggering 3,000% physical destruction within a wide radius.
[Projectile's Kiss (Active Skill)]
A skill from the Kiss of Fortune Ring, doubling the damage of his next attack. The five seconds felt agonizingly long, each moment dragging out as he charged the arrow.
Massive vines slammed into the demon, holding it in place as Dendros braced his body against it. The other summons did their best to maintain pressure from a distance, giving
Broken the precious time he needed.
Finally, the charge was completed. The moment had come.
He released the arrow!
The arrow shot through the air with such force that Broken was momentarily thrown
backward by the recoil. It felt as if the atmosphere itself was being sucked into the projectile,
amplifying its speed and power.
The arrow streaked toward the demon, and when it struck-BADABOOM-a massive explosion erupted, shaking the battlefield. Debris, chunks of earth, and waves of energy blasted outward in every direction, engulfing everything nearby.
Broken instinctively raised his arm to shield his eyes as the explosion rocked the battlefield,
the raw power of the detonation reverberating around him. At that same moment, Gaia's summon duration expired, and she vanished from his side.
Polly vanished as well, leaving him standing alone amidst the fading dust and embers. As the
debris settled around him, Broken slowly lowered his hand, his heart racing.
Had he finally done it?
Had the demon been defeated?
