BXBX NOVEL Chapter 252 Pity and Heartbreak
Chapter 252 Pity and Heartbreak
Thorns sprouted out around her in a 50 meter radius and tangled up all of the wolves. Forming a cage of sorts around them, Lyrica twirled her sword and stabbed it into the ground.
As if injecting a stimulant into the plants, the thorns started to grow and stab deeply into the bodies of the wolves.
"Ignite!" She commanded.
A light appeared in the wolves bodies as they slowly bloated up.
*BOOM!!!!
Exploding into a mess of flying flesh and blood, all of the wolves were dealt with accordingly.
"An AOE that can kill level 60’s instantly, I’m impressed." Shiro smiled and clapped her hands. Even if it was the result of being buffed by Silvia, being able to cross class tiers and instakill a monster was still impressive.
"Well I took inspiration from what you normally do. Expect that I don’t... well... target that area. This skill targets the weak internal area and explodes them from the inside out. Even if it doesn’t pierce the skin, it’ll explode on command, dealing as much damage as it can." Lyrica explained.
"So anything the thorns touch becomes an explosive?" Lisandra asked curiously.
"Yup." Lyrica nodded.
"Mn, your AOE potential is good. But what about your one to one? For the next wave, don’t use any AOE. Silvia, you’re free to buff her some more." Shiro smiled.
"Got it." Silvia replied with a smile.
For the next few waves, Lyrica had taken the spot as the vanguard and killed everything that appeared before them. Madison didn’t even need to help her out as Lyrica focused on her footwork along with attacking them on their weak points.
Not only that, she improved her mana control tremendously. She was able to condense fire mana into a thin layer on her sword which dramatically increased her cutting power.
For her to improve this much, even Shiro had to admit that Lyrica had improved far beyond what she had expected.
"You know, some parties don’t want to party up with us since our contributions were simply too high for them to get anything beneficial out of it. So we’ve mostly been a party of three." Madison chuckled.
"Well dungeons are primarily for money and EXP. If you want armour and equipment, most would go to raids." Shiro replied as her eyes continued to look at Lyrica’s fighting form.
With her current fighting standard, Shiro estimated that she could control around 40 to 50% of her body individually. While it was nothing compared to what she could do, it was still much better than even some geniuses that just prioritised using skills and mana.
They don’t realise that the moment someone shuts that down, they’re just like fish on a cutting board, waiting to be killed.
It’s only when your base performance is also excellent, that you can truly be deemed as a genius.
Arriving before the boss room, Shiro cracked her neck and grinned.
"Now then, since you girls have shown off your power, it’s time to demonstrate mine."
"Eh? But we already know about what you can do don’t we?" Lyrica tilted her head.
"Hahaha, I’ve always been suppressing my power. I’ll just expose a bit more today ok?" Shiro replied with a laugh.
As she stepped into the room, her horrific aura burst out of her and enveloped the entire room.
[Thunder Lord LVL 60 BOSS]
HP: 80,000,000/80,000,000
MP: 100,000,000/100,000,000
The Thunder Lord was a giant humanoid covered in lightning armour that was similar to what people would wear if they used element armour.
Standing at an astonishing 3 meters tall with a giant halberd in his hands, the Thunder Lord looked like a general that was about to head to war.
Lightning celestial armament + Lightning Element Shift!
Lightning flickered off Shiro’s body as her hair shifted from white to blond.
*BOOM!!!!
Crashing against the ground, the once majestic Thunder Lord looked at Shiro in horror. Just her aura alone was enough to suppress him.
Cracking her knuckles, Shiro flickered in front of his face.
Enhance strength, Demonic power, Force multiplier, Upgraded might of a thousand....
Stacking as many strength increasing skills as she could on her ring that she created, especially ones that increased it by the percentage, Shiro punched the thunder lord in the centre of his head.
*BANG!!!!!!
Quickly bracing themselves, the girls stopped themselves from being forced out of the room.
Looking up, they couldn’t see anything in the boss room since it was filled with dust. But once it settled, they widened their eyes in horror.
[Thunder Lord LVL 60 BOSS]
HP: 138,200/80,000,000
MP: 100,000,000/100,000,000
Implanted against the wall, the Thunder Lord had blood pouring out of his orifices. A part of his skull had caved in as he was knocked out entirely.
’Wasn’t she supposed to be a magic based monster?’ The three questioned as they started to doubt their own strength. Especially Madison since she was strength based.
"Heal him." Shiro commanded. Silvia quickly nodded her head.
Slamming her staff into the ground, she first applied buffs to herself so that her healing prowess increased. Aiming her staff at the boss, she activated her best healing spells.
A green light appeared on the boss’s body but the healing speed was quite slow.
"Hmm... let me help you out a little." Shiro said as she secretly created a bracelet.
[Life Fire’s Blessing LVL 50 Purple]
+200% Healing Effectiveness
+40% Mana Requirement
+6000 Mana Regen
Passive Skill:
Gift of Mana: Mana regen is increased by 30%
Life Fire’s Blessing: Healing Effectiveness is increased by 50%
Adding some mana coils in the hidden compartment, she had enhanced the bracelet to focus on regenerating mana along with increasing healing potential. Not only that, due to the sheer amount of equipment she had recycled, she was able to enhance it to the point where it increased the healing effectiveness by a whopping 250%!
It should be known that healing accessories that were available for level 50 healers could only increase healing by 50% at best. And yet, Shiro was able to create one that increased it by 250% with the help of her Life Fire.
"Mn? What is i- HOLY SH*T WHERE DID YOU GET THIS ITEM!!!" Silvia shouted out in shock as she felt like she had just had a heart attack.
"Language. Also, it was a drop that I got from the quest. Its durability is rather low so I don’t know how long it’ll last." Shiro shrugged. She lied about the durability so that she could shatter it whenever she wanted.
"Errr... can we just keep this item instead? Isn’t it a waste to use it on the boss?" Silvia asked as she felt reluctant on using such a precious item.
"Items were meant to be used. If you don’t use it, what’s the point of having it." Shiro replied.
"Plus, I have another one of it-"
"I’ve equipped it."
"That was fast."
Raising an eyebrow, Shiro glanced back at Silvia who had equipped the bracelet before she could even finish her sentence.
With the bracelet increasing her prowess, Silvia had a euphoric expression while caressing the bracelet.
"Ha.. ha.... Ha..." She panted in excitement and started to cast healing spells one after another.
’... I saw nothing.’ Shiro thought to herself and decided to avoid giving Silvia powerful healing equipment if she could help it.
The boss’s HP increased at a visible pace. His eyes regained some colour as he looked at the demon like sylph queen in front of it.
"Round 2." Shiro grinned and cracked her knuckles once again.
"!!!!!"
*BANG!!!!!
###
After Silvia had healed all the HP points that she needed, she told Shiro that she could kill it now.
Making an ok sign with her hand, Shiro walked over to the mentally broken Thunder Lord and crushed its skull completely with a punch.
"Lyrica?" Madison called out quietly.
"Yeah?"
"I feel pity for the boss. What about you?"
"I feel the same."
As the duo silently gave a prayer to the fallen boss that was tormented, Shiro walked over to Silvia.
"So are you ready to class up?" She asked.
"Yup. But let me enjoy this bracelet first." Silvia replied while looking at the bracelet with infatuation.
’I almost feel sorry for doing this.’ Shiro thought to herself.
"Silvi, I think I see a crack." She said, pointing at the bracelet.
"Eh? Where?" Silvia widened her eyes and quickly examined the bracelet.
Seeing the crack, Silvia felt like her own heart had been pierced. But what happened next caused her heart to shatter.
*CRACK! BANG!
Shattering into dust, Silvia’s breathing stopped.
"Nooooo!!!!!"
