Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Attacking Each Other

Without hesitation, Momon summoned. "Summon Tenth-Tier Undead!"

A magic circle flickered, spewing dense mist, and a golden-haired Undead wearing a crown appeared before Momon. It was a Level 70 Doom Lord.

Phew!

As the Doom Lord emerged, a large amount of black mist gushed from its body, forming a small special area around it. This was the effect of the skill [Night of Destruction]. A zone was created, enveloped in negative energy. Enemies entering it would be eroded by the energy, while Undead within would gain a damage reduction buff against light, holy, and positive attacks. However, as the price, the Doom Lord's original characteristic of continuously losing HP would be amplified, accelerating its vitality depletion.

The Doom Lord, under Momon's control, confronted the Knight King of Light. Its scythe slashed at the knight's holy shield, and in the clash, the Doom Lord was only slightly disadvantaged. This was extraordinary, considering the Knight King of Light was 20 levels higher and not merely a weak defensive warrior, but a balanced fighter in both offense and defense. The Doom Lord shouldn't have been able to compete. This miracle was certainly thanks to its passive ability: the more HP lost, the greater the attribute increase.

However, this stalemate was only temporary. The Doom Lord was no true match for the Knight King of Light, and its rapid HP loss meant it wouldn't last long in the fight.

Momon was well aware of this. He immediately ordered Narberal Gamma to retreat, then quickly moved away from the enemy, beginning to cast enhancement magic on himself in quick succession.

[Blessing of Magic Caster]!

[Indomitable Barrier]!

[Magic Ward: Holy]!

"Hah, do you think I'm dead?" Kael snorted coldly at Momon's actions. He immediately acted to stop the enhancements. "[God's Binding]!"

Golden chains suddenly sprouted from the ground, coiling around the retreating Momon like a python around its prey, instantly immobilizing him. Not only that, Momon felt unable to use his skills.

Damn it! This is a binding effect!

Momon immediately recalled past PK experiences. The opponent at that time was a human player with a special profession who used a similar skill, turning him into a 'dumb cannon' unable to use magic for one minute. Although he ultimately won the battle, the incident left a deep impression.

"[Maximize Magic]: [Vermilion Nova]!"

This was the highest-level single-target fire magic. Red lotus flames instantly devoured the immobilized Momon, delivering two consecutive attacks. For Undead, fire and holy attributes were weaknesses. Although they could be compensated with equipment and items, it was impossible to completely eliminate all weaknesses.

Kael first activated [Life Essence], observing the change in Momon's life value after being attacked, to estimate the resistance of his equipment to holy or fire attributes. Of course, that was assuming Momon wasn't using [False Life] to camouflage the information.

After the fire attack, it was the holy attack's turn. "[Maximize Magic]: [Holy Smite]!"

Tenth-tier holy magic, also the strongest single-target magic. A gate to heaven appeared in the sky. As the gate opened, holy light energy poured out, forming a massive beam of light that struck Momon!

"Lord Momon!"

Narberal saw her master attacked and immediately prepared to provide support, but before she could take any action, an angel holding a [Holy Judgment Sword] flew forward, blocking her path. The [Holy Judgment Sword] was swung, and Narberal used her combat staff to parry, but was still pushed back by the higher-level Cherubim of Judgment.

After using [Fly] magic to stabilize her body, she immediately used seventh-tier lightning magic to attack, stopping the Cherubim of Judgment's pursuit. At this moment, a layer of green light appeared on the Cherubim of Judgment's body. Narberal looked towards the source of the magical fluctuation and noticed the Cherubim of Consecration behind it.

Is that a healing unit? Narberal thought, gritting her teeth.

On the other side, the effect of the [God's Binding] skill ended. The chains binding Momon broke and shattered, and he regained his freedom.

"Detestable!"

After one minute of continuous high-tier magic bombardment, Momon's HP dropped drastically. He immediately used an item effect and cast the faith magic that could restore the most HP to Undead – [Greater Undead Healing]. After his health returned to a safe level, he immediately began to retaliate.

"[Maximize Magic]: [Thousand Bone Lance]!"

One thousand, two thousand, countless bone lances emerged from the ground with Momon as the center, all attacking Kael with a wave of his hand, with the momentum of a roaring mountain stream.

However, Kael was undisturbed. The Knight King of Light broke free from the Doom Lord and immediately retreated in front of Kael. An energy wall reappeared.

Bang bang bang!

The continuous impact of thousands of bone lances caused cracks to slowly appear in the energy wall, and it finally collapsed completely. When the Knight King of Light blocked the next attack with his tall body, Kael suffered no injury whatsoever. The Archangel of Consecration held a holy seal in both hands, and healing light continuously flowed into the Light King Knight's body. The health points lost due to the [Thousand Bone Lances] skill began to recover rapidly!

Momon couldn't help but murmur, "What a difficult combination." Whether viewed from a defensive, recovery, or offensive standpoint, the opponent's abilities were incredibly balanced, with no visible weaknesses at all.

However, he also had a way to break the stalemate. Ninth Tier: [High Tier Banishing]!

A wave that could dispel high-tier summons swept through, passing the Knight King of Light and Cherubim of Sacrifice under Momon's hopeful gaze, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Is there a solution to this? Momon thought regretfully, but didn't take it too seriously. Because he also had similar reinforcement items that could make summons immune to the effects of dispelling magic. If his enemy was a player of the same level as him, it was not surprising that he would possess such an item.

"Tenth Tier: [Holy Prison]!"

Like a turn-based game, after the Knight King of Light successfully endured Momon's attack, Kael's magic began to react. A magic circle suddenly opened beneath Momon's feet, and a large cage of pure energy fell from the sky, trapping him tightly within the cage. The bars of the cage emitted holy light that shone on Momon's body, making him feel weak and hot. Needless to say, this was a skill that could weaken holy attribute resistance and restrict movement.

"[Maximize Magic]: [Holy Smite]!"

The Gate of Heaven appeared again, and the holy light bombardment continued.

Momon endured the holy attribute damage and used "[Enhanced Death Eater Magic]" on Kael, summoning a skull to bite Kael into its mouth, causing dark attribute attack damage. Holy light then pierced through the death skull, and after Kael regained his freedom, he continued to attack Momon within the cage. The dedicated Cherubim beside him recovered his lost health.

Tenth Tier: [Holy Angelic Sword]!

Strongest Magic: [Gravity Maelstrom]!

Tenth Tier: [Embrace of the Goddess]!

Create High Tier Undead!

Tenth Stage: [Realm of Light and Purity]!

Level Tenth: [Godbreaker's Fist]!

Both sides launched high-power magic attacks, but Kael was protected by the Knight King of Light and the Archangel of Consecration. He was also a faith magic caster who could use many healing spells, so his HP remained consistently high.

On the other side, enduring the holy attribute damage, Momon activated his trump card, and a white scale clock appeared behind him.

"Hmph, this trick won't work on me." When Kael saw Momon's actions, the corner of his mouth twitched into a forced smile.

Momon was using a special skill from the high-tier Undead Clan profession [Eclipse] - [The Goal of All Life is Death]. After activating this skill, the next instant death attack used by the user would be amplified, capable of even ignoring the enemy's full resistance to instant death attacks and inflicting an absolute death effect on the opponent.

This skill was difficult for those who didn't know about it, but once you knew its effect, there were many ways to counter it.
