Chapter 137 – Slaying the Phantom Messenger
“Kill it, or you two die,” Lei Ting coldly repeated, refusing to budge.
“Bell, be careful!” whispered Fatty. He then summoned Wheat and activated Stealth.
“b.u.t.terfly Fairy, use Imprison.” Purple Bell released b.u.t.terfly Fairy. At the same time, the Yin Yang Manual flew out and hovered before her.
“Heh, two puny ants!” Phantom Messenger Aguero snorted scornfully. A black scythe over a meter long materialized in its hand from nothing, and the boss ferociously lashed out.
Clang! The scythe’s blade grazed past Fatty’s figure as he flashed quickly away. Entering Stealth again, he prepared to attack.
Whoos.h.!.+ A burst of blue light enshrouded the Phantom Messenger – it was b.u.t.terfly Fairy’s CC skill, Imprison – but, it missed, just as expected.
Although Phantom Messenger Aguero’s body was small and short, each step it took was long and fast. The creature disdained creeping about and ambushes, so it plainly attacked with the big black scythe.
“Yin Yang s.h.i.+eld,” Purple Bell called out softly. A s.h.i.+eld of swirling black and white appeared in front of her, blocking the incoming strike.
Puff! The dark weapon smoothly sliced through the Yin Yang s.h.i.+eld and slashed at Purple Bell. While the damage reflected by the s.h.i.+eld did some good damage to the Phantom Messenger, the amount was negligible compared to its max health. The boss only needed a few seconds to regen what was lost.
Taking a step back, Purple Bell extended her hand slightly and hissed two words: “Yin Sword.” A small dark blade shot from her palm toward the Phantom Messenger’s eyes.
Ding! The Phantom Messenger drew the black scythe erect, effectively blocking Purple Bell’s attack.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoos.h.!.+
Suddenly, the ground grumbled and quaked, several dozen stalagmites erupted from the earth and cl.u.s.tered together – Wheat’s attack! Some of the stalagmites impaled the Phantom Messenger’s leg, crus.h.i.+ng it and causing a series of number to pop up. However, the majority of the attack was parried with a swing of the boss’s scythe.
“Ambush,” Fatty appeared abruptly behind the Phantom Messenger and jabbed his dagger at its back; yet, the blade failed to deal any damage. Unperturbed by the result, Fatty immediately followed with Coil. A silver python wrapped around the Phantom Messenger and miraculously succeeded in binding the boss.
Taking advantage of the situation, Purple Bell retreated several steps and pointed her finger at the Yin Yang Manual. Countless black rays emerged and shot toward the Phantom Messenger. Meanwhile, Fatty lifted his dagger to execute Deadly Poison. Swis.h.!.+ A green light flashed above the Phantom Messenger’s head very briefly, indicating that poisoning had failed.
Having antic.i.p.ated this outcome, Fatty hastily retreated. While he did so, he raised his left hand and sent a crossbow arrow ripping through the air. The Phantom Messenger didn’t dodge and directly met the projectile head-on. With a “pfff” sound, the arrow lodged deep in his body until just the feathered tail remained visible. Yet, the Phantom Messenger had also closed the distance to Fatty.
Whoos.h.!.+ The dark scythe reared and swept across Fatty like a black tornado.
“d.a.m.n it!” Fatty had no time to dodge. In the thick of it, he could only grip his dagger with both hands and thrust it forward. Sparks flew as the black scythe and dagger collided with a dinging noise. Fatty stumbled back several steps and felt both hands go numb from the force. He could barely hold his dagger.
