Chapter 712: Chapter 712. Close Comba

Chapter 712. Close Comba

Jack and Leavemealone steadied themselves. Jack's wolves and Therras had arrived. Together, they were about to mount an offense again. But Mihos did a swing, a violent turbulence erupted in front of him. The violent wind threw Jack's wolves away and prevented the rest from approaching.

Selena cast Fireball, which was easily slashed apart by Mihos. But after destroying Selena's Fireball, Mihos' flat expression suddenly turned serious. He quickly slashed downward, Jack could feel mana manipulation in that slash.

Other than the time that Mihos disrupted Selena's spell, he didn't use any mana manipulation in his attacks. Jack figured that even for such a powerful native like Mihos, mana manipulation was not an easy technique. This could also be the reason why the lead golden knight in the ancient battleground didn't use any mana manipulation until the last moment when he was fighting against the other mythical-grade opponents. Mihos must also be saving it for when it was necessary.

The reason why Mihos used the technique was soon shown. A large wave of bluish-purple energy was rushing at Mihos through the ground. It was a Ki Wave thrown by Domon and enhanced by mana manipulation.

Mihos' greatsword collided with the energy wave. He received damage and was sent skidding away, this was the second time he had been unbalanced. Jack fired a Mana Beam to take advantage of the situation, Selena did the same by casting her Flame Dust spell. Fire dust surrounded Mihos and caused chain explosions.

After all these hits, Mihos' HP was still above 700,000. This native champion's defense was too high coupled with his passive HP regeneration. It was only one-fifth from the target of half HP the players needed to achieve.

Jack and Selena both followed up by casting Arcane Turbulence and Ice Field respectively. But as the spells took effect, Mihos jumped away from the flame dust that was surrounding him.

"F*ck! His Jump Assault is off cooldown," Jack cursed.

Mihos had jumped towards Selena. Domon and Arthur were miffed. Their movement speed was slow. When they were about to arrive, the enemy had jumped away again. Did the enemy purposefully evade them?

Giant Steve wanted to come help, but Jack told him to stay with Princess Purple. Mihos' other jump skill would soon be out of cooldown as well.

Selena was nervous, the aura this native champion exuded from a close range was no joke, but she held herself together. She had cast Barrier when Mihos jumped. She now also cast Flame Shield and then erected Magic Shield with her staff. However, that Magic Shield was shattered by Mihos' one swing.

David's Barghest jumped onto Mihos' back, it bit him on the back, but Mihos ignored it. David was close by. He had been shooting at Mihos as well as running towards the native in an attempt to disrupt the offense against Selena. He was about to backstab the back of Mihos' skull when he felt a strong impact on his chest.

<br/>Mihos had thrust his greatsword from under his armpit and impaled both David and his Barghest who was still clinging to his back. The sacred flame on the greatsword was still in effect, the flame soon engulfed both David and his pet.

Princess Purple cast Heal to help David, but the spell only recovered a limited amount. Her Full Heal spell was still on cooldown.

David and his pet who were being impaled were forcefully lifted and slammed onto the ground. David never stopped shooting at Mihos' head all the time. Mihos made a rapid pull and stab again. This finished David before he had a chance to roll away. His Barghest also vanished when he died.

Selena had used the reprieve from David's sacrifice to move away and erected Flame Wall between her and Mihos. She then cast Chain Lightning. Since Mihos was alone, after the first lightning struck, it jumped to empty air before striking back at Mihos again. Five of the ten jumps from max-level Chain Lightning were wasted, but the spell still dealt decent damage from the combined five hits.

Jack, Domon, and Arthur used Charge to chase after Mihos. But since their Charge was off cooldown, so did Mihos. Mihos used Charge and burst past Selena's Flame Wall as if it was nothing.

"F*ck!" Jack cursed again.

They couldn't see anything because the flame wall blocked their view. They ran forward after they completed their Charge. Jack's faster wolves ran from the two sides of the flame wall to get to Mihos and Selena. Jack also sent Wind Slash and Sword of Light through the flame wall by using his mana sense to pinpoint his target, but he could sense Mihos just tanked those attacks with his HP.

The flame wall suddenly died. They saw Selena was already down on the ground. Her body was still covered by Mihos' golden flame.

Mihos was now swinging his greatsword, swatting the wolves that came near him. Most of the wolves were on fire as well. Three out of the ten wolves had died. Mihos then used his double whirlwind slashes again, killing the remaining wolves as well as halting Jack's advance.

Jack reeled back before he felt a hand on his back, helping him regain balance. It was Domon who had arrived. Arthur was at Jack's other side. Jack's Therras had also come.

Mihos stood unmoving in front of them with his greatsword pointing at them.

"You are not running away again?" Jack asked.

"I never run, I was chasing," Mihos replied.

Jack looked around, all their range attackers were down. So, it was now down to close combat.

"You are not chasing after our healer anymore?" Jack asked.

"Her small healing won't make much difference," Mihos said.

Princess Purple was fuming hearing that.

Jack didn't entertain the talk anymore, Mihos was recovering by the second. He rushed forward with Domon and Arthur. Mihos advanced as well. Jack used Blitz Slash, trying to get behind Mihos so he could pin Mihos in between him and the two martial art masters.

Yet, Jack's blitz was stopped when he hit Mihos' parrying greatsword. Mihos had used Knight's skill, Enhanced Block, to negate Blitz Slash's piercing effect. The five slashes still appeared though, slashing Mihos' armor.

Mihos countered with a slash. Jack blocked the slash with an attack but the splash damage from the golden flame wound him. Jack was also pushed back from the impact.

Domon took over, his glaive was alighted with blazing ki energy. This energy had been enhanced further by mana manipulation. The flaming greatsword and the glowing glaive collided. Domon was pushed back but Mihos also took one step back. Arthur slash came after, his one slash was accompanied by ten sword lights. Mihos swung back, half of the sword lights hit him while the other half was destroyed. Arthur was also pushed back, further than Jack and Domon.

Three swings. One to drive away each opponent. Mihos' attributes were far above them.

Therras had sneaked behind Mihos. It used Autocratic Roar and Imperious Pressure. Mihos received damage from the roar but none of the negative afflictions. The Imperious Pressure caused his body to become heavy, but his incredible strength allowed him to still overcome this weight increase. Mihos used Power Strike. His greatsword struck Therras and sent it away together with its gravity field.

"Gramps, foothold!" Jack uttered as they rushed together again at Mihos.

Domon understood Jack's meaning. He placed his glaive horizontally. Jack jumped up and stepped on the weapon. Domon pushed up while Jack did his super jump. The jump boost allowed Jack to jump past Mihos from above and landed on his back.

Arthur had sent his attacks while Jack did his acrobats. Domon joined him soon. Jack stole hits from the back. Mihos couldn't stop attacks from three different directions, so he simply tanked them and counterattacked when he could. Domon and Arthur easily dodge Mihos' attacks, but the golden flame enshrouding the greatsword still caused damage when the greatsword passed by without even touching their bodies.

Princess Purple cast Words of Prayer, healing the HP the three lost as well as giving them buffs.

Jack used as many skills as possible but he kept the big guns. He believed Mihos still kept some sort of a trump card.

The three felt mana buildup within Mihos' body. Another of his skills had come off cooldown. The three retreated without needing instruction. The explosive shockwave that had knocked away Jack's Myriad Ensnaring Chains before, exploded again. Even after moving away, Jack still felt the blast of air hitting him and pushing him further.

Mihos then used his enhanced version of jump assault and landed close to Princess Purple.

"Shit! Didn't you say you are not after our healer anymore?" Jack uttered.

"I never say that!" Mihos replied.

Giant Steve had stayed beside Princess Purple as Jack asked. He activated Protection Field and Shield Stance before putting himself in front of Purple.

Mihos greatswords came cleaving with several rapid strikes. Giant Steve forwent offense and focused on defense. He used two hands to hold his shield and resisted the staggering force behind Mihos' every blow. He felt his grip weakening with each blow.

Despite being protected by his shield, Giant Steve still received splash damage from the golden flame. Some parts of his body had even caught fire. He received notification that he was under Burn effect. Princess Purple cast Heal and Cure on him but the burning effect returned soon.

Mihos used Power Strike when he felt Giant Steve's shield wobble. The strike caused Steve's grip to slip. His shield fell.

When Mihos was about to deliver a finishing strike, Leavemealone who had been waiting for a chance came up behind him. His fist weapons glowing and crackling in their Overlimit state.
