BXBX NOVEL Chapter 149 Punishment For Impudence?
She rose an eyebrow in question as she spoke.
"Did you perhaps activate three skills at once again?"
Seeing the young hero flinch before turning his gaze elsewhere and whiling suspiciously, Pride instantly figured out that her suspicion was spot on.
The high demon only heaved a sigh as she turned herself towards Eliza who was facing off against Leviron at the time.
"Let\'s use this time to go assist Eliza.
We have to time out entry so her opponent would not expect it. Let\'s do it like this..."
While observing Eliza\'s battle with Leviron and sometimes commenting on some of her acts, the pair started formulating their strategy for assault.
In the middle of the discussion, Evan abruptly smacked his hands together, igniting approximately half a dozen little balls of flames.
The two blade wraiths had to work harder to evade the surprise attack as he whirled around and threw them in the direction of Elecrus and Glavore.
Evan did not want it to end there. He used lightning magic to replicate the effect of the flame grenade spell as he threw lightning balls that detonated upon contact in the direction of the two.
He then reached out his hand and cast a simple shadow magic spell to put an end to it.
"Bind."
Seeing the young hero\'s abrupt action, Pride narrowed her eyes as she noticed something peculiar.
\'Even with my skill\'s effect, his power is a bit too strong...\'
"What were you saying again?"
The boy turned back to her with a smile on his face and asked, making Pride sigh for the nth time today as she asked.
"How do you have that much magic power already? The potion hasn\'t taken full effect yet."
The time interval between him taking a potion and him casting the magic was too short, and there was no way the magic potion worked that fast.
She was sure, after all, she had taken the same type of potion before.
"130% stat effectiveness and 20% boost.
That also applies to my energy reserves and energy regeneration, I think?"
|System Benefits
Extra 200% Leveling Efficiency.
Boosted Life Force.
20% Stat Boost
130% Stat Effectiveness. |
A familiar system tab manifested in front of Pride\'s face, allowing her to see the effects of his \'Reincarnated Hero System Updates\' that Artemisia installed.
\'Achieving stat effectiveness over 100% is already difficult even for some legendary level existences, and he has 130%?\'
Stat effectiveness, was in a way, also a stat value.
To be more specific, it was kind of a hidden stat value as not many were able to quantify how effective their stats were.
Effectiveness was simply the capability of something to produce the desired result or in the case of stats, the ability to produce the desired output.
If one\'s stat was 100% effective, that meant that they were capable of using the full power of that stat.
If one was to explain Evan\'s 130% stat effectiveness, it was quite simple.
Take his strength stat, for example. It was a \'C-\' stat. With 130% effectiveness, this meant that Evan\'s strength was actually 100% of what someone with a strength stat of \'C-\' had, along with close to 30% of that tacked on top.
Then one had to note that this also applied to all of his stats, just thinking about it gave Pride a headache, figuratively of course.
However, she didn\'t have the time to dwell on it as she saw the blade wraith Leviron suddenly back away before casting multiple dark spheres, something Eliza was not able to completely avoid.
**BOOM!! BOOOMM!!
"Now!"
She shouted at Evan who frowned slightly before enhancing his body with lightning the moment Pride did the same with demonic energy.
The duo kicked off the ground simultaneously turning into streaks of black and gold as they passed by the sides of the cornered battle priestess and sliced through all the incoming dark spheres.
While Evan was doing something that warranted him getting the title of \'Copycat\', Pride decided to test out one of her wind-based attacks on the blade wraith.
\'Aura of Pride: Gale Sword.\'
She controlled the formless wind and generated a whirlwind with enough suction force to pull Leviron towards her.
The eyes of the blade wraith glowed as it allowed itself to be pulled towards her. At the same time, it raised its sword over its head and coated it in an ominous black haze.
Pride understood the intention of the blade wraith just from seeing its actions, chuckling lightly as she didn\'t allow it to have its way.
Instead, she threw her sword arm forward with a quick shout and released a small storm that propelled its body into the air.
The strength of the wind caused the baton that was hanging around its waist to be blown off to an unknown part of the room.
That was the same moment Evan smashed the energy sphere he was holding in his hands into the earth, which resulted in a wave of explosions that propagated throughout the ground.
After being propelled through the air by Pride, the corpse of Leviron eventually came crashing down to the ground and was struck by the wave of explosives that Evan detonated.
Pride then noticed a ring of dark red light appearing around her both wrists, her gaze turning to the battle priestess just in time to see her activate her flower canon skill.
***WOOOONGGG!!!!
***BOOMM!!!
\'Good, she knows how to take advantage of an opportunity.\'
Pride nodded in approval upon seeing Eliza\'s action, moments before she sensed two incoming presences.
\'They\'re back up?\'
She caught the sight of Evan throwing something towards Eliza while yelling something about anti-regen as she turned around and rose her sword to meet Glavore\'s blade.
\'Now then, let\'s punish you for your earlier impudence.\'
Pride calmly deflected his high-speed strikes, before clenching her fist and throwing a punch at Glavore\'s face.
*BAM!!
She then ignited her fist with demonic energy-infused flames, melting the blade wraith\'s helmet and burning its face in the short moment before the force of her punch sent it flying in the air.
"It\'s not broken?!"
Hearing Evan\'s voice, she turned her gaze towards the young hero affirming his role as a copycat as he replicated each one of Elecrus\' moves, taking advantage of his blink skill to escape the obviously lethal attacks.
She turned her gaze away immediately as if having lost interest before twirling her sword in her hand as she walked towards Glavore.
"I\'m not gonna wait for you to get up, you know?"
As she spoke, half her blade was already rushing towards its chest, forcing it to hurriedly get up and jump back reflexively.
But just when it had barely evaded the first strike, the second one came in, her blade surrounded by small winds that seemed to accelerate its speed.
Glavore rose its sword to block but at the last moment, she changed the trajectory of her blade, releasing an arcing sword slash upwards.
This allowed Glavore to realise that her blade was also infused with fire magic, as that was the only reason it could cut through its armour like butter and scorch its skin.
Pride didn\'t let up, flipping her blade in mid-air and switching her grip before swinging downwards in an arc.
Glavore repositioned its sword and drew back while blocking the slash that came crashing down towards its neck, its now free hand going to its back to get its crossbow.
However, Pride didn\'t give it the chance to even try anything, tapping her foot on the floor twice and activating simple earth magic, creating a bump that tripped the blade wraith and knocked him off balance.
"?!"
Whether it was due to an adrenaline rush or it was simply because of its will to survive, the blade wraith was suddenly able to pull out the crossbow and raise it, using it as a shield to block the incoming punch from the high demon that went straight for its chest.
**BAM!!
The crossbow shattered into pieces, abating most of the punch\'s force, but still leaving just enough to send it flying.
Pride looked at the blade wraith she had sent flying and flicked her wrist as she remarked to herself.
"I intended to finish him with that one, the fact that it\'s still alive shows just how weak I am now.
Way too weak."
Her blood-red eyes glowed with an eerie light as she swung her sword in its direction, releasing aura slashes that hacked at its armour and shattered it to pieces.
Since it was not in a position to either dodge or defend, it had no choice but to let its armour get shattered to bits by the dark-coloured aura slashes.
