262: Chapter 261 Bloodbath with the King

"Oh no, it's a Domain!"

Jian Mei shouted in a low voice, "Chu Xuan, I'll freeze the King..."

As Jian Mei spoke, a burst of rhythmic background music had already started.

As her voice fell, accompanied by a cracking sound, a burst of icy chill spread out, frost rapidly condensing in the area and spreading in the blink of an eye.

Freezing everything around, including herself.

However, the freezing effect only slowed King Seth of Dona's speed slightly and didn't achieve the desired result.

[Chicken, you are too beautiful...]

Besides that, amidst the rhythmic background music, Tang Zheng had already charged forward, his entire body radiating light.

Boom!

With a single punch, he knocked King Seth of Dona back, making his nose and mouth bleed, but his cross-shaped greatsword slashed down at the same time.

Tang Zheng's body flickered with light; although he wasn't split apart by the sword, he was sent flying back by the immense force.

Even the light surrounding him dimmed significantly in an instant.

"Kill!"

King Seth of Dona roared. Just as he was about to pursue and finish off Tang Zheng with his sword, a sharp flash enveloped in pitch-Black Flames streaked past the flying Tang Zheng.

Ten Slashes, in that critical moment, all struck King Seth of Dona, sending his charging figure flying back once more.

Even his exquisite robes were torn to shreds, revealing a sturdy and robust physique covered in blood-red patterns.

It was covered in sharp Slash marks, but the wounds weren't deep; however, the faint Black Flames attached to them made him let out a roar of pain and anger.

Before King Seth of Dona could regain his footing, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, and a charged-up blade suddenly slashed horizontally.

This strike was aimed at the head, but at the critical moment, the opponent's body shifted slightly, causing it to only hit his back shoulder.

How can he be so tanky?!

Thoughts flashed through Chu Xuan's mind.

Those ten Slashes just now had all landed on the opponent, but based on the 358 points of spirituality value gained from the feedback, Chu Xuan instantly calculated that each Slash had only dealt an average of 35 damage.

He had already used the Fire of Nirvana at full power, which could deal an additional 50% true damage based on basic attack, and this damage would not be less than 25 points.

So in reality, each of the slashes just now had only dealt about 10 damage.

And this heavy strike on the opponent's shoulder provided 40 points of spirituality value in feedback, meaning it only dealt 40 points of health points damage, with the basic damage being only 15 points.

Compared to the opponent's total health points, it was merely a minor injury.

Chu Xuan immediately realized that this was because the opponent's stamina had become a real attribute; when receiving general attacks, resistance would increase significantly.

Only the true damage from the Fire of Nirvana was not negated.

"In that case, I'll Slash away all your spirituality value!!"

The Fire of Nirvana had another ability: when the target completely loses their spirituality, the damage caused by the Fire of Nirvana will increase by an additional 50%, and the pain will intensify.

This was especially true for Strange Creaturess.

Even if the opponent's Berserk skill could negate most of the pain, it still wouldn't be pleasant.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chu Xuan's movements didn't pause for a moment. With a cold glint in his eyes, he raised his blade to Slash again.

Clang!!

King Seth of Dona seemed to have an extremely sharp instinctive intuition. He parried with his cross-shaped greatsword held vertically at his side, the metal collision producing a deafening boom.

King Seth of Dona stumbled back a few steps, while Chu Xuan's hands were slightly numbed by the shock, but he had no intention of stopping.

Strike while he's down!

Chu Xuan took the opportunity to unleash a series of heavy close-range slashes, preventing King Seth of Dona from adjusting his stance. He could only hurriedly parry. The "clang clang clang" of explosions rang out repeatedly; the cross-shaped greatsword couldn't be wielded properly and was almost knocked out of his hand.

"Traitor, die!!"

By the time the fourth heavy Slash came down, King Seth of Dona roared and stopped parrying. Instead, he stepped forward and took the blow with his body.

Squelch!

The blade coated in Black Flame slashed into King Seth of Dona's chest. Despite his howl of pain, he didn't seem to have lost much combat effectiveness.

As if by instinct, he swung his other arm in a horizontal hook, sending Chu Xuan and his blade flying. He crashed heavily against the wall, landing right next to where Tang Zheng had crashed.

Chu Xuan's head spun, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

[You have received a heavy blow; your health points -125]

[Current health points: 915]

A single hook had caused him to lose nearly ten percent of his health points. Chu Xuan was secretly alarmed.

Fortunately, that last Slash to the chest had gained him 90 points of spirituality value, which meant that Slash must have dealt 60 points of basic damage.

The remaining 30 points of damage came from the 50% additional damage added by the Fire of Nirvana on top of the basic damage.

Chu Xuan had calculated that the opponent had a total of 500 spirituality value just now, and now it was almost slashed away.

Once the opponent's spirituality value was completely gone, the damage from the Fire of Nirvana would be increased by another 50% on top of the additional damage.

In other words, while using 5 spirituality value per second at full power, each instance of true damage from the Fire of Nirvana would be equivalent to 75% of the basic damage, and no less than 37 to 38 points.

From the official Night Watchers forums, Chu Xuan knew that these values provided by the System were only for reference as combat aids and weren't absolute.

But in most cases, they were accurate.

At this moment, just after three seconds, Tang Zheng finally crawled up from the ground. The background music was still playing, but the light around him had dissipated.

"Cough, cough! That sword strike actually broke my thirty seconds..." Tang Zheng's expression was very pained.

At the same time, Jian Mei's freezing effect wore off. Although it hadn't affected King Seth of Dona much, those three seconds had interrupted the baptism of all the ministers who were praying and worshipping.

Inside the hall, the specks of blood-red light remained, but they were no longer merging into those people's bodies, nor into the giant Three-headed Hellhound.

Now, as if waking from a beautiful dream, they fell into rage and madness and charged down, with the Three-headed Hellhound leading the way.

While its presence wasn't as intimidating as King Seth of Dona's, its speed was even greater.

In that same instant, King Seth of Dona also extinguished the Black Flames on his body. Amidst his roars, his eyes flashed with a mad blood-red light as he raised his cross-shaped greatsword and attacked Chu Xuan again.

"Leave the King to me; you guys deal with the rest!"

Chu Xuan shouted. He discarded the standard-issue long blade, which was now covered in cracks, and the pitch-black demon-subduing pestle from his tactical waist bag fell into his hand. In an instant, a black light flashed.

A pitch-black long blade appeared.

Dark light pulsed.

Black Flames surged!
