Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives

Villain Ch 790. Strings

“Charge,” Arcana muttered through gritted teeth as he closed the distance between himself and the monster. With the creature already cornered and unable to escape, Arcana was confident that his attack would find its mark.

Arcana’s shield glowed once again, he gathered all his strength for one decisive push. With a mighty effort, he lunged forward, sending Gheppetto flying through the air.

– BANG!

The collision echoed loudly throughout the cemetery, indicating the force behind Arcana’s attack.

[You have hit a Puppeteer by 1093 HP!]

“GAH!” Gheppetto grunted in pain, the sharp blades lining the walls behind him awaited his inevitable landing. The impact would surely inflict more damage upon him, amplifying the effect of Arcana’s strike.

[You have stabbed a Puppeteer by 1231 HP!]

The moment Gheppetto made contact with the blades, a cacophony of sharp sounds reverberated through the air. It was proof of the power behind Arcana’s push and the deadly nature of the blades.

With Gheppetto immobilized by the blades, the puppets surrounding him abruptly halted in their tracks. It became clear that Gheppetto was the sole puppeteer controlling them all. As long as they could defeat him, the threat posed by the puppets would be eliminated.

The moment Gheppetto was thrown by Arcana’s powerful charge, the group sprang into action. Allen and Azura swiftly unleashed their Rapid Strike, their blades moving with lightning speed as they targeted Gheppetto’s vulnerable points.

Red_King followed suit, swinging his sword with precision with his skill, Sword Strike.

Meanwhile, Bored Hunter skillfully aimed his arrows, letting loose a barrage of deadly shots with his Arrow Strike.

The onslaught of attacks rained down on Gheppetto. Greatest Healer and Father^Alex stood ready with their Barrier skill, prepared to shield the group from any potential counterattacks. Yet, to their relief, the combined assault proved effective, swiftly depleting Gheppetto’s HP.

However, amidst the flurry of strikes, Allen couldn’t shake off a nagging sense of unease. Despite his precise targeting and powerful blows, Gheppetto seemed impervious to critical hits. Normally, such attacks would yield a satisfying Critical Hit announcement on Allen’s user interface, but in Gheppetto’s case, there was nothing.

It was as if the monster lacked the vital organs that would typically render it vulnerable.

Adding to the mystery was Gheppetto’s peculiar lack of blood. Despite the damage inflicted upon him, there was no sign of bloodshed. Instead, he merely cracked and splintered like a marionette longing to be dismantled. It was an eerie sight, one that sent shivers down Allen’s spine as he continued his relentless assault.

Gheppetto’s movements grew slower and more erratic. Yet, even as victory seemed within their grasp, there was an unsettling sense of foreboding lingering among them.

With every blow landed, they drew closer to their goal. Its HP was only one third left. But for now, their focus remained on the task at hand: defeating Gheppetto and emerging victorious from this harrowing encounter.

Gheppetto let out a sudden and terrifying roar before he unleashed his fury upon Allen and the others, a burst of energy emanating from his body with explosive force. The sheer power of the blast sent them hurtling through the air, crashing to the ground with a resounding thud.

They struggled to regain their footing amidst the chaos.

Gheppetto’s ominous words echoed through the air like a chilling prophecy. “Puppet Graveyard…” His voice dripped with malice. It tinged with a sinister tone.

Gheppetto raised his hands once again, the air crackled with dark energy, the strings in his grasp vibrating with malevolent power. Allen and the others watched in horror as the strings connected to the tombstones surrounding them, their eyes widening as they realized the gravity of the situation.

With a swift motion, Gheppetto pulled on the strings, and the tombstones began to move, drifting ominously towards them like specters emerging from the shadows. Allen, Azura, and Red_King gasped in shock, their hearts pounding and their adrenaline shot up. Quickly, they scrambled to evade the looming threat.

Rolling to the side with lightning speed, Allen narrowly avoided being crushed by a massive stone, his muscles straining with the effort to stay one step ahead of the relentless assault. Beside him, Azura and Red_King moved with agility and grace as they dodged the barrage of tombstones hurtling towards them.

Meanwhile, Greatest Healer and Father^Alex sprang into action, conjuring their Barrier skill to shield themselves and their comrades from the deadly projectiles. Father^Alex’s Barrier shimmered with protective energy, providing a sturdy platform for Bored Hunter to ride upon as he sought refuge from the chaos.

Arcana gritted his teeth and braced himself behind his shield, the weight of the stone pressing down upon him as he fought to hold his ground. Every muscle in his body screamed with exertion. He strained against the force of the tombstones, determination burning bright in his eyes as he refused to yield to the overwhelming onslaught.

Amidst the chaos, shouts and grunts filled the air. Each member of the group fought with all their might, their hearts united in a common goal—to survive the relentless assault and emerge victorious.

The tombstones continued to rain down upon them. Allen and the others knew that they could not afford to falter. With every ounce of strength and agility, they pushed themselves to the limit, their minds focused on one thing and one thing only—survival.

The cemetery erupted into chaos as the tombstones crashed down upon one another, creating a labyrinth of stone and shadow that threatened to consume Allen and his companions. With each impact, the ground trembled beneath their feet, sending shockwaves rippling through their bones.

Arcana gritted his teeth and strained against the weight of his shield, the relentless assault of tombstones taking its toll on his strength. With each blow, his arms grew heavy with fatigue, his muscles screaming in protest as he fought to keep the shield between himself and the looming threat.

Beside him, Greatest Healer and Father^Alex watched with growing concern as cracks began to spiderweb across their Barrier, the strain of the onslaught threatening to shatter their defenses. Their anxiety mounted, their hearts pounding in their chests as they struggled to maintain their focus amidst the chaos.
