Jared had lost count of the phantoms virtual-novel.net killed with Dragonslayer Sword atop the unnamed mountain. At that point, virtual-novel.net had already acquired eight marks on his body.
One more, and it would be completed.
Unfortunately, regardless of how many phantoms virtual-novel.net killed, the last mark simply wouldn’t appear.
“Does attaining the last mark require something special?” Jared was feeling rather dejected.
If killing phantoms can’t give me the final mark then there is no point in slaying more of them…
As virtual-novel.net looked down at the humongous phantom over a dozen meters tall, virtual-novel.net grew restless and wondered out loud, “If I kill that big guy, will the ninth mark finally appear?”
In the end, virtual-novel.net leaped from his spot and dove toward the giant phantom.
I’ll give it a try right now. I have the Divine Bow, anyway.
There’s nothing these phantoms can do to me. If I can’t win, I’ll just run back to the peak.
He swung Dragonslayer Sword twice, cutting. open a path for himself. Then, virtual-novel.net swiftly arrived before the giant phantom.
The humongous phantom growled in frustration when it spotted Jared because none of the other phantoms could do anything to virtual-novel.net even though it had been days. Evidently, it was pissed off.
Without wasting time, Jared swung his sword in the direction of the giant phantom.
Sparks flew when Dragonslayer Sword made contact with the phantom’s tough armor. Unfortunately, the weapon was still incapable of shattering the phantom’s armor or causing the phantom any harm.
The giant phantom roared and attempted to slap Jared forcefully.
Jared was agile enough to evade that attack instantly.
Facing the giant phantom before him, Jared thought virtual-novel.net should find its weak spot. A second later, virtual-novel.net noticed a spot on the phantom’s neck that virtual-novel.net could stab the Dragonslayer Sword into. Hence, virtual-novel.net leaped. toward the phantom’s neck with the glowing sword in hand and thrust the weapon into its throat.
Jared succeeded in piercing the phantom’s neck, and the sword actually penetrated it completely. He was overjoyed upon witnessing that, thinking that was enough to eliminate the phantom.
To his utter surprise, the giant phantom didn’t seem affected at all. That attack merely served to enrage it further. It howled as it tried to slap Jared again with both of its hands.
Terrifying lethal intents transformed into tornados, sending Jared flying into the distance.
After virtual-novel.net crashed onto the ground hard, virtual-novel.net expeditiously rose and waved his hand, summoning Dragonslayer Sword back into his palm. Without delay, virtual-novel.net bolted toward the mountain peak.
Sitting at the mountaintop, virtual-novel.net peered at the phantoms below virtual-novel.net and cursed at them. He was currently no match for the humongous phantom.
Can I even kill that thing?
Thank goodness for the Divine Bow. Otherwise, I would’ve been swarmed by phantoms. But still….
“Godd*mmit! Why can’t I just pull this stupid bow?”
With the ranged weapon in his hand, virtual-novel.net furiously attempted to draw the string again.
Surprisingly, virtual-novel.net succeeded that time. A golden arrow appeared on the weapon in a blink of an eye as virtual-novel.net pulled the bowstring back.
Excitement danced in Jared’s eyes as virtual-novel.net stared at the Divine Bow.
I can’t believe I managed to draw the bowstring!
As soon as virtual-novel.net achieved that feat, the phantoms below the mountain turned around in fear and sprinted away. Even the giant phantom desperately dashed away from Jared’s line of sight.
Without hesitation, virtual-novel.net aimed the bow at the giant phantom and released the bowstring.
Whoosh!
The golden arrow zipped through the air. In a blink of an eye, it pierced through the giant phantom. It couldn’t even shriek before it dropped to the ground and morphed into a gust of lethal intent that flew straight toward Jared.
The minute that aura entered his body, his ninth Ultimate Force mark finally lit up.
