Chapter 793 Experience is Still Experience
Villain Ch 793. Experience is Still Experience
With Gheppetto trapped, Allen and the others launched their attack with precision and skill, their blades flashing as they closed in on their target. And as they unleashed their fury upon Gheppetto, they knew that victory was within their grasp, if only they had the will to seize it.
With Allen and the others launching their attack, Gheppetto knew that he had to act quickly if he wanted to stand a chance against his opponents. He refused to back down. With a steely determination, he stepped back and raised his hands, summoning his puppeteering strings with a flick of his wrists.
The strings snaked through the air with deadly precision, their pincers poised to claw and pinch anyone who dared to challenge him.
Allen and the others braced themselves as the strings hurtled towards them, their eyes flashing with determination.
Red_King sprang into action. “Cyclone Strike!” His sword spun in a blur of motion as he unleashed his skill. With a swift rotation of his body, he deflected the strings and anything else that flew at him, his blade slicing through the air with deadly accuracy. The skill managed to deflect all the strings.
Meanwhile, Arcana wasted no time in launching his own attack. With a thunderous roar, he charged forward, his shield raised high as he barreled towards Gheppetto with all of his might. With a mighty swing, he slammed his shield against Gheppetto’s defenses, the force of the impact sending shockwaves rippling through the air.
-Bang!
[You have hit a Puppeteer by 1032 HP!]
The echoing sound of metal meeting metal reverberated through the barrier, the impact so forceful that it seemed to shake the very ground beneath their feet. Gheppetto staggered backward, his defenses crumbling under the relentless assault of Arcana’s shield. With a resounding crash, he fell to the ground.
With Gheppetto momentarily stunned, Azura and Allen seized the opportunity to strike. With lightning speed, they leaped forward, their blades gleaming as they unleashed their Rapid Strike. The air hummed with tension as their blades sliced through the air with deadly precision, each strike aimed at Gheppetto’s vulnerable form.
Time seemed to stand still as Azura and Allen rained blow after blow upon their fallen adversary, their movements fluid and fast as they danced around him with practiced ease. They knew that their window of opportunity was fleeting, that they had only moments before Gheppetto would rally and retaliate with renewed fury.
And then, in a sudden burst of energy, Gheppetto’s HP reached zero, his form dissipating into a cloud of dark energy as he let out one final, anguished cry. The tension in the air dissipating as the battle drew to the end.
[You have defeated a Mini Boss!]
[You received Gold Strings 4 ea and 30,283 Coins]
Arcana let out a long, ragged breath, the tension draining from his muscles as he surveyed the aftermath of the battle. His shield hung limply at his side, the once gleaming surface now marred with scratches and dents from the ferocious onslaught. “At last…” he muttered, his voice tinged with a mixture of exhaustion and relief.
Red_King glanced around at the scattered remains of their fallen adversary before he stared at his user interface. “I thought the loot would be better than this,” he remarked, his tone tinged with a hint of frustration.
Allen shook his head with a weary smile. “He’s just a Mini Boss, we can’t expect much,” he said, his voice calm and measured despite the lingering adrenaline coursing through his veins.
Azura let out a soft sigh of relief, her shoulders slumping as the weight of the battle finally lifted from her weary frame. “I’m happy enough we are still in one piece,” she admitted, her voice carrying a note of gratitude for their hard-won victory.
Allen returned her smile as he met her eyes. “Yeah,” he agreed simply, his voice filled with quiet determination.
But then, Allen’s gaze lingered on Gheppetto’s fallen form. The temptation to use his Mini Boss Contract skill gnawed at him, promising to bind the defeated boss to his service and bolster his own power. Yet, he knew that such a move would reveal his true identity as the Devil Emperor. He had to come back later, in his real form.
The sound of the barrier shattering jolted Allen from his reverie, the abrupt noise cutting through the lingering tension in the air. A second later, the shimmering energy dissipated into nothingness. And then, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by the grating sound of Bored Hunter’s complaining voice.
“Was all of this just for that little loot?” Bored Hunter’s voice echoed with discontent, his frustration evident in every syllable.
Allen’s brows furrowed in irritation as Bored Hunter’s words pierced the air like needles, breaking the fragile peace that had settled over the group. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
Arcana’s patience wore thin at the sound of Bored Hunter’s whining, and he turned to face the source of the noise with a scowl. “Shut up,” he snapped, his tone sharp with annoyance. “You’re the one who contributed the least here,” he complained.
Bored Hunter’s retort was quick, his tone defensive. “Didn’t I tell you that my level is not enough for this place?” he countered, his voice tinged with exasperation.
“But experience is still experience,” Red_King reminded Bored Hunter with a frown. “You should appreciate it.”
Ignoring the tension, Azura stepped in, her gentle touch on Allen’s shoulder pulling him back to the present. “Are you okay?” she asked, her concern evident in her voice.
Allen offered her a reassuring nod, though inwardly, he couldn’t shake the lingering frustration that gnawed at his thoughts. “I’m fine,” he replied, though his words felt hollow, even to his own ears.
Before the tension could escalate further, Greatest Healer and Father^ Alex approached, their healing magic enveloping the group in a soothing aura of warmth and comfort. Their wounds began to mend and their strength returned. “Stop arguing. We are in the middle of hunting,” Father^Alex protested.
