Before he left, Brando took a look at Andrique's status. He realized that the vampire girl was much more powerful than he had imagined. Andrique was one of the rare dual Elemental Players. Other than the Soul Elemental Element, she also had a Blood Elemental Element. Dual Elemental Elements were extremely rare in The Amber Sword. There might not even be one in ten thousand players. Brando had never seen such a thing before. After all, it was impossible for a player to have dual Elemental Elements.
Most Vampires relied on their Blood Kin abilities to fight. However, Andrique was a Sorcerer, a rare Magician. At the same time, she was a Warrior, a dual-wielding swordswoman. [What kind of weirdo is this?] Brendel was stunned. He had never seen a vampire with a profession level before.
At the bottom of the list was Andrique's card ability. 'Pay 5 SP to place a small group of Black Derivatives (Blood Kin) into the field.'
At this time, the Pendulum Golem and its Clockwork Swordsman were very close. Strangely, it seemed to have noticed Brando, but it only ordered its Clockwork Swordsman to fan out and slowly surround him. It didn't move, and Brando didn't know what it was thinking. Brando didn't care what it was thinking. He gestured to Andrique, and then jumped out of the pillar.
As soon as he got up, he activated Charge. His movements were several times faster than before, and the distance between him and the Clockwork Swordsman on the far left seemed to have closed. The puppet didn't have time to react. It clumsily tried to raise its sword to block, but Brando had already blocked it with his sword. At the same time, he took a step forward and turned into a phantom. His real body had already circled behind the Clockwork Swordsman, and his sword pierced through its slender neck.
It was as if two Brando's had attacked from the front and back, and the puppet was instantly killed.
Brendel did not dare to continue fighting after his successful attack. He turned around and ran, preparing to hide behind another pillar. However, the expressionless Pendulum Golem saw through his plan. It slammed its heavy bronze cane on the ground and shouted, "He's trying to escape! Number 7, Number 8, Number 9, take ten steps forward! Number 3, Number 4, get over Number 1's corpse and seal off his escape route!"
The Pendulum Golem was like a chess player with precise calculations. Under its command, the Clockwork Swordsman blocked Brando's path of escape.
Brando cursed inwardly. Since when did the Pendulum Golem have such a ferocious ability? The Pendulum Golem was one of the lower level guards of the Tower of Babel. It had high attack, high defense, and high HP. It was also immune to elemental magic, and could use Time Stop, Time Rewind, Time Vortex, and other skills within ten feet of it. Countless melee classes and Elementalists had been beaten to a pulp by it. However, this monster was slow, and Archers could deal with it perfectly.
However, this Pendulum Golem was clearly not the one that Brando knew.
While Brando cursed inwardly, Andrique watched quietly from the side as he went out to lure the enemy. Then, she turned around and drew a four-ring magic circle on the pillar. She only finished when Brando killed the first enemy. At that moment, the Pendulum Golem ordered the Clockwork Swordsman to change its formation, exposing itself to Andrique's attack.
However, Andrique didn't remember Brando ordering her to attack the Pendulum Golem. She looked around, chose a target, and pointed at Number 7. A black bolt of lightning shot out from the magic circle on the pillar, and with a crackling sound, it hit the Pendulum Golem's head. Even though the Pendulum Golem's head was protected by a transparent magic circle, it was still knocked to the side.
The Pendulum Golem's specialty was its high magic defense. However, Andrique didn't mind. A Magic Circle Magician's specialty was the power of their spells. She didn't lower her finger. The first bolt of lightning was just a guide, leaving a magic mark on Number 7's body. Then, the magic circle suddenly emitted a blinding black light, and more than ten bolts of lightning shot out, all of them hitting Number 7's head.
For a moment, the transparent magic circle on Number 7's head shone so brightly that it was almost solid. But in the end, it still shattered with a crack, like a walnut being smashed. The only difference was that it was still smoking.
This spell was called "Queen of Pain's Nine-tailed Whip," a classic Black Magic spell.
With Number 7 dead, Brando's line of defense had a chance of survival. However, before he could celebrate, the Pendulum Golem threw out another card. "Death Sentinels of Defeat!" It said coldly, and a few doors of light opened behind it. Soldiers wearing black armor with spikes walked out from the doors. They looked like human soldiers.
These soldiers held double-ended swords in their hands. Apart from their shoulders, helmets, and lower body armor, their upper body and lower abdomen were exposed. Their well-proportioned abdominal and chest muscles were a clear indication that they were skilled warriors. There were a total of ten Death Sentinels. However, a door of light opened near the two broken Clockwork Swordsmen and the Crystallized Man. From each door, a Death Sentinel walked out.
Although Brando didn't know what these NPCs were, he could guess that the Pendulum Golem's card wasn't just a creature card. It could also transform the dead soldiers on the battlefield into Derivatives. Now that Andrique had taken down two more Clockwork Swordsmen, the situation had become even worse for Brando.
"Did you see that? A Planeswalker doesn't even need a sword. You're a disgrace to the Planeswalker team. Let me take care of you," the Pendulum Golem said expressionlessly with a strange metallic accent.
Brando almost choked to death. This isn't the power of a Planeswalker, it's just level suppression. If I was still Lv 130, I wouldn't need to talk so much. I would've killed a piece of trash like you with a single strike. Planeswalker, Planeswalker my ass!
However, a warrior had the spirit of a warrior. Since he couldn't dodge, he decided not to. The three Clockwork Swordsmen in front of him were all Gold-tier. With Brando's current strength, if he fought seriously, these monsters wouldn't be able to do anything to him. However, the fact that there were thirty-four Gold-tier monsters on the battlefield made his scalp tingle.
The Pendulum Golem didn't seem to care about fighting himself. It raised its bronze staff and pointed forward. The 'army' surged forward and surrounded Brando in three layers.
"Andrique, cover me!"
Brando shouted. With a carefree slash, he split a Clockwork Swordsman in front of him in half. The vampire girl glanced over, as if the battle had nothing to do with her. She replied impatiently, "I know." She waved her small hand, and a magic formation drawn on the ground began to glow. A large black net fell from the sky, trapping half of the enemies within.
This spell was called Abyssal Net. Of course, it was still a black magic. The enemies caught in the net would be slowed down, suffer pain, blind, deafened, and many other negative effects. In short, it was an IMBA spell. All magic formations were of this level. Otherwise, no one would be able to endure such a slow casting speed.
As soon as the Abyssal Net was cast, Brando felt the pressure on him lessen greatly. The Pendulum Golem couldn't help but frown. This was the first time in its history that it showed an expression other than its expression. It looked back at Andrique and waved its staff. Two of the defeated Death Sentinels immediately left the battlefield and charged towards the girl.
Under normal circumstances, a Magician's first reaction would be to cast a defensive spell and retreat when a melee player approached. However, Andrique obviously didn't fall into this category. The vampire girl bit down on her thumb, and a drop of bright red blood oozed out from the tip of her finger. It was like a bright ruby in the snow. She waved her hand, and the blood spurted out from the wound, forming a crescent moon in the air. The crimson crescent moon shrank and changed shape in the air. As if it was controlled by someone, it turned into two bright red elven swords. Andrique caught the two swords with both hands. The swords in her hands looked like they were carved from gems, sparkling and translucent with the color of blood.
Then, the girl took a step back. Her retreat showed her strength. Compared to her talent in magic, her strength as a warrior was between the peak of Silver and the early stages of Gold. However, the strange thing was that she could use the blood swords in her hands to form a magic circle. She could attack and cast spells at the same time. Both sides had only exchanged a few blows when the two defeated Death Sentinels' heads were covered in black clouds. Their foreheads were also flashing with green light. It was obvious that they had been inflicted with many negative statuses.
The two warriors who were originally at the early stages of Gold were weakened to the same level as Andrique, or perhaps even weaker.
However, every time Andrique used her blood to form a magic circle, her face would turn paler. It was obvious that this vampire girl's blood magic circle was not without a price. She might even lose a portion of her HP. Brando saw that she was in a stalemate with the two defeated Death Sentinels and was worried that she couldn't handle it. He couldn't help but send a telepathic message to her. "Lure them closer."
Although he was also surrounded and beaten by three layers of enemies, he still couldn't bear to see the girls under his command being bullied by outsiders.
However, he didn't expect Andrique's reply to him was only one word.
"Hmph —"
It was as if she was being looked down upon. She was quite dissatisfied.
She suddenly stopped and raised her right hand. The red light in her eyes intensified. She shouted, "Blood Evaporation." Suddenly, the two Death Sentinels surrounding her let out a muffled groan. Countless droplets of blood seeped out from their bodies and spiraled towards Andrea's palm to form a ball of blood. In an instant, the ball of blood evaporated without leaving a single drop behind. The vampire maiden's face turned a little redder.
Using the power of this attack, her movements became much faster. She decisively killed the two defeated Death Sentinels with one strike each. However, after using this ultimate move, the vampire girl was obviously unable to withstand it. She immediately used her two swords to support herself on the ground and panted heavily.
It seemed that she could no longer participate in the battle.
