YM778.TV Chapter 996 Start
Location- Sun Blossom City, Circle Headquarters
Realizing that Mike did not have time to hide further from here, I immediately tried to scan the surroundings using my soul pupils but suddenly felt a scorching heat and a massive blow strike me on my back. Since it was an ambush at point black range, instinctive evasion of elusive spirits’ possessing me was of little use here.
Fearing my aura sight, with not many places to hide in the sky, Mike chose to morph into something proficient in flight and stealth planning to sneak attack me once I come out of the blood rule cocoon protecting me. Thanks to the blood rule covering me I did not take a lot of damage but I lost my stance, which Mike used as a perfect opportunity to attack me relentlessly with flame breath while remaining in stealth. Without even giving me the room to gain a footing to strike back. I could only defend helplessly while running evasive spirits abilities to their maximum hoping that I will get an opportunity to use the Beezalbub card’s additional ability hop.
Being forced to defend I don’t know how much longer the blood rule covering my body could hold up against the fire rule flame breath so I made use of soul pupils to see through Mike’s stealth and uncover what creature he had transformed into.
Rainbow-winged flame butterfly monster, that was what Mike had morphed into. This monster was popular for its potent stealth ability and flame breath ability which was commonly only seen in the dragon family. Apart from these two skills the part about the Rainbow-winged flame butterfly monster that was making things difficult for me were its eyes. It had a dynamic vision. Which not only aids it in escaping its predators but also to hunt its prey. And right now I was its prey. With all my moves within the range of the Mike morphed Rainbow-winged flame butterfly monster’s dynamic sight evasion was proving to be difficult. Especially because the flame breath was a wide-range attack so there was very little room for me to maneuver. So I could only wait for an opportunity hoping my blood rule cover will last long enough.
“Hastex2,” the opportunity I was waiting for came as both the haste skills of my elusive spirit and Beezalbub’s wings were out of cooldown time.
With the aid of gravity and stacked haste effect, I plunged down at full speed, and eventually, the Mike morphed Rainbow-winged flame butterfly monster was unable to match my speed and could only watch as I escaped. Reaching a safe distance I once again wanted to use hop to launch a sneak attack on Mike, but learning from my previous failed attempts. I decided to save it for when I required it the most. Even though the cooldown period of the hop skill was small, I could not use it when under attack so I could only save it to escape to a safe distance under enemy attack.
When I circle back to engage Mike, I found that Mike had morphed into a demon. It had buffalo horns, Dragon wings, and horned lizard tail appendages attached to its grey-colored humanoid body. It stood 7 feet tall with a robust muscular body. Fire rule power covered its entire body oozing an intimidating aura in its surrounding. The Mike-morphed Demon looked at me with a sneer and said, “Kid, this time I will come at you for real.”
“Oh, yeah. Same here pal.” My body grew 7 feet tall as I unlocked the complete potential of the gigamite physique achievable for two additional souls as I still needed clone 1 to continue acting as Ji Feng.
Without wasting any further time the demon body Mike attacked me head-on with its fist. Seeing this I used two of my left floating hands to block its attack and formed two fists using the two right floating hands to attack him as a bluff while I used my hands to punch Mike aiming his face and throat.
When my fist came into contact with Mike’s body I felt the blood rule and kinetic energy behind them were being absorbed by this body. At the same time. Mike’s left hand was blocked by my two left-floating arms and his right arm blocked my two right-floating arm’s attack, both suddenly seemed to have become soft like a sponge and were absorbing any and all energies applied to them. This feeling was the same as the one I got while fighting against the Mike-morphed Echo slime.
Understanding what was happening here my expression changed. Meanwhile, Mike’s horns shot two beams of blood energy aimed at me. Thanks to the elusive ability, I escaped sideways but only to take a heavy punch to my face. With that, a continuous barrage of punches followed. I felt each of the punches despite the blood rule power covering me and my gigamite physique.
This time Mike’s fist felt harder, a lot harder compared to our previous exchange, clearly, he had instantly switched the ability of his body from that of an echo slime to something with hardening skill as he attacked me.
Despite the pain I felt, I could not help but feel excited about my current circumstance. The more promise Mike showed the more excited I got. The reason I immediately attacked Mike as soon as Agatha left was that I no longer had to worry about how to plunder Mike’s card ability while escaping Agatha’s eyes.
I was not worried about the other two semi-demigods monitoring me because they were not right next to me like Agatha. As long as they were not near me, I could think of hundreds of ways that I could use to do my deed without raising suspicion in the eyes monitoring me.
“Six-handle energy saber,” retreating to a certain distance I once again summoned my sabers as it was proving disadvantageous to fight Mike with fists. His ability to instantly switch between various monster physiques, traits, and skills was proving to be very troublesome to deal with.
