Chapter 683: A majestic counter
In the world of Terra Nova, there were two types of mage spells that could be cast.
First were spells that could be cast individually by single players, where the spells they cast took up a spot inside their skill panel. And the second were group spells that needed a certain number of mages collaborating together to be cast.
These group spells did not take up any skill-slot inside the mages individual stat panels, and often did not require every single mage in the group to chant the exact incantation for the spell either.
Most of the low-leveled group spells only used the bodies of the mages casting them as a power source to fuel the main spell, while the caster was usually only a single mage.
And the spell that Leo faced today, was one such group spell, called [Rainbow Shot].
To cast the rainbow shot, a bunch of low leveled mages collaborated and provided their strength to one single ranker, who upon gathering enough energy for the spell, chanted the specific incantation to materialize it.
From afar, the spell looked like a beam of rainbow colored energy stretching towards the sky, however, once the chant was complete, a single massive arrow, which was the size of a couple residential houses put together, descended from the sky, hurtling straight towards Leo.
"DON'T MOVE…. PIN 'THE BOSS' DOWN TILL THE LAST SECOND" One of the rankers near the scene shouted, as while the rainbow shot descended towards Leo, the others tried their hardest to keep him from dodging it.
[System Notification:- You have successfully copied the move 'Rainbow Shot'.
This move can now be replicated three times.]
Just as the attack fully materialized, Leo received a system notification informing him that he had copied it successfully, as only then did he stop observing the move.
*Slash*
*Slash*
*Slash*
Suddenly turning the tides of the battle, Leo killed all the rankers surrounding him, as although he was only focused on copying the move and surviving until now, once he had copied the move successfully, his full attention returned to the fight at hand.
"Buzz off–" he said with authority, as within just a split second, he cleared all his opponents from the roof, as he prepared to intercept the incoming attack.
*Tremble*
*Tremble*
The ground underneath his feet began to tremble, and the air around him turned ionized as the rainbow shot approached from the sky.
The sheer presence of the move radiated serious power and destructive capability, causing many weaker players to feel their throats dry up as they looked towards it.
For a moment, Leo could feel his hair floating towards the sky, as if it were levitating in zero gravity, however, that was just static electricity playing its tricks.
The ionized air had turned his hair into those akin to a Super Saiyan, but that change was only temporary.
'I got this…' Leo thought, as a soft smile spread on his face.
Even while staring down such a powerful attack, Leo did not feel an ounce of fear or hesitation, as such was his belief in his own limits and abilities.
He was sure that he could take this attack and counter it, which was why he did not even attempt to dodge.
The righteous faction players on the other hand began to celebrate their inevitable victory, thinking that the fight was over, as for them, they could not see how Leo could survive such a powerful attack, now that he had no room left to dodge.
"It's over—" one of them said, as he clutched his hands in joy, however, unfortunately for him, he celebrated too early.
*Inhale*
Taking a deep breath, Leo placed his right leg behind his left one, as he unsheathed the terrifying Nightblade Steel Dagger from his belt.
This was a dagger from the notorious dagger set that he had obtained after the second rankers event, specially for the purpose of killing the demon king, however, he had never used it until now.
However, since this was a special occasion, and he could feel that none of his other daggers were upto the task, Leo finally unsheathed one of the daggers from the set, as he used his newest learnt move.
[Full Counter] he said in a soft tone, as at the precise moment where the rainbow shot were to wipe him off existence and obliterate everything around him in a two mile radius, Leo dared to fight back, the steel of his blade pushing back against the pin-point tip of the mana arrow.
"Arghhhhhh—" Leo screamed, as the force of the attack was too much for him to handle with ease, however, he did not give in.
When one hand wasn't enough to complete full counter, he put his second hand behind it, twisting his entire body with full force, as he relentlessly pushed back against the attack.
"Impossible —" muttered the onlooking righteous faction players, as none of them expected to see such a sight unfold before them.
The shock waves generated by Leo's clash against the giant arrow forced many of the righteous faction players in his immediate vicinity to their knees, as they struggled desperately to avoid being swept away.
Yet, while most players could barely remain upright, Leo somehow managed to defy the overwhelming force, steadily pushing back against it. Continue your adventure at m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
The blade in his hand sizzled and burned, however, the superior grade blade held strong.
Had Leo used an inferior quality blade for this move, he would have undoubtedly died trying to stop it, as the blade would give in before his body, however, because he used the blade made from the sharpest material in the universe, which was extremely durable as well, he was somehow able to hold on–.
"Come on now…. BREAK" He screamed, as with the world watching live, Leo somehow managed to split that one massive arrow into ten thousand tiny pieces, which splintered and crashed all around him.
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
.
.
.
*Boom*
Everywhere that the splinter of the arrow dropped, a mini crater was formed as hundreds of thousands of righteous faction players surrounding Leo, unequivocally lost their lives to their own power.
While he alone stood tall and strong, for an entire mile radius around him. Not a single building, not a single player managed to survive unharmed, as he alone stood tall over them all.
"That's my Lord Father! Mongrels— behold his glory!" Dumpy said in joy, as for him, this became yet another instance of Leo's magnificence being solidified into his memory.
However, while he rejoiced, the righteous faction players screamed and howled in horror, as this was not the outcome that they had expected.
The move cast by the collaboration of hundreds of mages was supposed to take him out. However, The Boss somehow found a way to use their own move against them, in a display of supreme strength.
