The speed of this claw could only be described with one word: fast!
It was so fast that Bai Xiaowen didn't even have time to summon a creature to defend himself. He could only summon a Skeleton Swordsman from the sky.
The Skeleton Swordsman didn't have the ability to fly, so it quickly fell from the sky and couldn't raise a shield to defend itself.
Crack! Markus's claw broke a few of the Skeleton Swordsman's ribs, and the latter's HP fell by a third. Fortunately, it didn't trigger a Vital Strike, so it wasn't insta-killed.
Bai Xiaowen raised his gun and took aim.
Markus suddenly felt a sense of danger when the magic crossbow was pointed at him (the appearance of the Desert Eagle in the eyes of Spirit World characters in certain settings). He let out a strange laugh and spun in the air like a top. He tapped the Skeleton Swordsman's iron shield with the tip of his foot and bounced off.
The Skeleton Swordsman's HP fell by a small chunk again, and it fell even faster. Markus used the momentum to leap up and somersaulted a few times in the air, dodging Bai Xiaowen's gun and making it impossible for the latter to aim.
But at this time, the Skeletal Fiend Arcane Master's second lightning bolt fell. The lightning twisted in the air at a subtle angle and struck Marcus! Advancing to Level 7 meditation was not just for show.
Whoosh! Green smoke rose again. Markus staggered and almost fell to the ground.
This noble Vampire Lord's hair was a bit disheveled at this moment, and his pale and thin face was also filled with anger. The Skeletal Fiend Arcane Master's Lightning Strike dealt evil-destroying (= evil-destroying) damage, which was effective against Marcus' Advanced Curse Physique.
Marcus himself only had 820 Health Points and 40 + Dual Resistance. Among Level-8 Bosses, he was not considered tough at all. He was difficult to kill because of his high Dexterity, his high damage reduction, high recovery, and his ability to transform into a bat and escape at critical moments.
"You angered me. This wasn't a wise choice!"
Markus said sinisterly. "Why didn't you run? I'm immortal, I can't die! "
"If we ran, would you stop?" Bai Xiaowen asked seriously.
"Hahaha, a good question. Of course I won't stop! "
Markus smiled sinisterly. "I let you escape so that I can enjoy the pleasure of hunting you down. In my long life, you are just two little insects that please me. "
"Alright. Then we have no choice but to kill you. "Bai Xiaowen sighed. He did not want to get tangled up with this troublesome Boss, especially when he was carrying an S + Elite Quest and there was a group of potential high-level enemies ahead of him. Time was life.
Markus laughed arrogantly. "Come on, come and beat me to death!"
"What a strange request," Bai Xiaowen muttered.
The Butcher rushed over with large strides, his Giant Serpent Scepter charging towards Markus.
Markus laughed heartily. He didn't care about the Butcher at all. With his 96 points of Dexterity, even the Butcher's fastest movements were like slow motion in his eyes, let alone an obvious attack like charging power.
However, a strong pressure spread out, and Markus' laughter came to an abrupt end. The Butcher had just finished charging, and his scepter whistled through the air. His target was Markus' legs!
"Whoosh."
At the crucial moment, Markus' body suddenly scattered, turning into a black whirlwind of bats. He passed by the Butcher and rushed towards Bai Xiaowen!
Markus' voice echoed in the air.
"You're very strong, little guy. You actually have two types of mental attack spells!"
Bai Xiaowen's lips curled into a smile.
"Sorry, you don't know anything about my trump cards."
He raised his right hand, and fire energy condensed. Bai Xiaowen's entire body flowed with crimson lava, and the heat rose.
Grassland Style Ancient Martial Art — Profound — Giant Serpent!
"Creak!"
A sharp whistling sound echoed, and the swarm of bats formed by the black whirlwind forcibly braked in the air, scattering in all directions.
Bai Xiaowen snorted. He had predicted the other party's movement pattern and prepared the Giant Serpent's abnormal AOE skill in advance. However, the Vampire Lord Markus relied on his superior Dexterity to forcefully make the impossible possible.
"Boom!"
A huge tide of flames swept out, enveloping most of the bats. Only a few bats managed to escape with their superior speed.
After Markus transformed into a bat, he also had the passive effect of Advanced Cursed Body. The Giant Serpent's damage was a combination of magic damage and physical impact, all of which were within the range of Advanced Cursed Body's damage reduction.
However, it shouldn't be forgotten that the bats themselves had very little HP.
In addition, the Giant Serpent was an AOE skill.
Every bat within the range of the Giant Serpent would receive damage from the Giant Serpent! Two bats meant damage * 2. Four bats meant damage * 4. Ten bats meant damage * 10 …
This was the strength of an AOE skill. In a group battle, if a mage's AOE skill was able to pull all five opponents, it meant that the mage's damage output would be increased by five times! As long as there wasn't a great disparity in strength, winning the group battle was almost certain.
"Crackle."
Amidst the mournful screams, the bats exploded one by one.
At this point, one had to praise Markus' reaction speed. If the swarm of bats had dispersed even a tenth of a second later, they would have been wiped out by the Giant Serpent. Not a single bat would have been able to escape. Now, at least a quarter of the bats had escaped.
The flames of the Giant Serpent finally dissipated. Bai Xiaowen also let out a long breath. Using the Grassland Style Ancient Martial Art in an environment filled with Yin energy was indeed a heavy burden on the body. The recovery speed of his physical strength was almost stagnant.
A small number of bats gathered together and reformed Markus' body.
At this time, the Vampire Lord's expression was very ugly. His body had become thinner, and his face was frighteningly pale. Only his eyes had become blood-red.
Bai Xiaowen could see Markus' HP bar. Including the damage from before, Markus only had around 200 HP left! In other words, the Giant Serpent had taken at least 500 HP from Markus!
"I've struck gold."
This thought flashed through Bai Xiaowen's mind. The Skeleton Warrior had already waved its greatsword and rushed over. The more it was like this, the more it couldn't be taken lightly.
Markus didn't panic.
"The feeling of pain … I haven't felt it in a long time."
"Mortal, you've pleased me! As a reward, I'll turn you into my servant! "
Markus laughed loudly, as if he had the upper hand. Facing the Skeleton Warrior's Whirlwind Slash, his body suddenly twisted and directly pounced on Bai Xiaowen! And the Skeleton Warrior's charge only hit an afterimage.
