Epoch: A Berserker's Rise

Chapter 207: Split and flee

-18.750.000 HP!

-3.750.000 HP!

Thunder Slash (A): Slash out a thunderbolt in the form of a flying slash. Deals 1500% thunder damage to the first target hit, stunning them for five seconds, and splits in smaller thunderbolts that each deal 300% thunder damage and stun targets for two seconds. Cost: 100 000 Aura.

This was one of the skills Adam had made since he had promoted to Silver Rank, and was of the Wind Element, since thunder was under Wind.

Since the Heroes in the sky hadn't been prepared for such a strange attack, even the strongest ones had been hit and were stunned, although Adam had no doubts the stun wouldn't last for so long on them.

As he prepared for another strike, Adam hollered using Barbarous Roar "SPLIT AND FLEE!!!" As he said that, he sheathed his sword and jumped in the air before he used both hands to launch a skill with each.

His right palm hit against the sky, while his left palm hit toward the earth. Out of his right palm spirit waves were fired toward all the Heroes. The strongest among them who had managed to shrug off the stun already weren't able to dodge those waves, and their own spirit was sent in turmoil, being damaged and stunned for even longer. As for those still stunned, they were hit even harder.

-3.150.000 HP!

-6.300.000 HP!

Spirit Wave(A): Send a spiritual attack toward your enemy in the form of a wave. Enemies hit by the wave will receive 500% of spirit damage and be stunned for ten seconds, while those caught unprepared receive double the effects. Only works once every hour on an enemy. Cost: Mental Exhaustion.

The Spirit Concept, especially the Sovereign Concept, was quite a terrifying one because unless the opponent also had mastery over this concept, it was nearly impossible to stop. That's why, even for the strongest among the demons, they weren't able to defend from the attack and were stunned, as well as received damage.

As for his left palm, the air under it rippled as water began to form quickly, and in a second a gigantic tide of water had appeared, falling from the sky toward the forces of the demonic faction who entered with them.

This was of course Adam's [Tidal Wave] skill, one of the first A Rank skills he ever unlocked. This was a powerful skill, but here Adam didn't use it to injure his enemies.

Instead, the gigantic wall of water served as a barrier between the Demonic Faction and the others who entered Providence with them. This gave enough time for the people below to finally awaken from their fear and start running, for the slowest.

Most of the forces of the strongest groups had already started running before Adam had even attacked. Given this golden opportunity, they started fleeing. This included Adam's forces.

Silver and Gold Ranks were all quite fast and could escape out of sight quickly, but even they would need more than ten seconds to escape from Heroes.

Moreover, after one second, Adam received a bad surprise. The strongest among the Heroes were already starting to awaken, and that's when he remembered something crucial. Hero Rank was Nascent Soul, and was the stage where cultivating was making the soul stronger. So the stronger Heroes had a better resistance against Spirit skills

Adam gritted his teeth and approached his two hands to one another, and a ball of water appeared between his hands. It barely took a second for it to form, but more Heroes had once again started to appeared, and the strongest among them were flying toward him at a quick speed.

Once the ball of eerily deep blue water was formed, although it was no bigger than a human head, Adam threw it toward the Heroes.

The demon in the lead, who looked like Arda, didn't underestimated Adam and threw a ball of fire of around the same size at it.

However, as the two came in contact with each other, something strange happened. The ball of fire was swatted with an extreme precision toward the Demonic Faction, who entered alongside Adam, while the ball of water continued straight toward the demon.

Just as it was about to hit into him, the ball suddenly exploded against an invisible shield, and burst in vapor, expanding all around the sky, burning all the demons it hit.

-9.400.000 HP!

As all the demons, including both those stunned and those who freed themselves, were within the vapor, it suddenly turned into ice.

-9.400.000 HP!

The hundreds of Heroes in the sky were frozen alive, and although it just happened one could see that several of them were already melting the ice around them using flames. But the attack wasn't over, as the ice contracted on itself, crunching everyone inside.

-18.900.000 HP!

Three Line Sacred Ball(A): Concentrate the nearby water elements and the power of the Water Concept into a ball and throw it onto your enemy. Any enemy hit by the ball of water will receive 1000% water damage. After hitting an enemy, the ball turn into vapor, rapidly expanding in the surroundings, and dealing 500% of burning damage to every enemy hit. When the user wishes to, the vapor will turn into ice, dealing 500% of ice damage to all those hit, and finally will contract on itself, dealing 1000% of ice damage to those inside. Cost: 500 000 Aura.

This was a skill Adam had also created, and was quite special as it mixed several skills together. Although it was ranked as an A Rank skill, it's might was better than other A Rank skills, and was Adam's current strongest attack.

All the demons had taken a pretty heavy hit, all losing a lot of HP. Moreover, one of the skills from the Godslayer's Heart made all the enemies he hit suffer from bleeding effect, no matter what kind of damage he deals, and one of his set armor's skills made recovery 50% slower. As such, the demons weren't even able to use their incredible healing factor.

After this bunch of attacks, all the demons had been forced back, all stuck to each other and entangled, giving Adam time to look at their status, and for the others to flee even farther.

[Higher Demon] (Sage, Level 150)

HP: 52,225,000/100,000,000

[Higher Demon] (Sage, Level 160)

HP: 132,225,000/180,000,000

[Higher Demon] (Sage, Level 170)

HP: 212,225,000/260,000,000

[Higher Demon] (Sage, Level 180)

HP: 292,250,000/340,000,000

[Higher Demon] (Sage, Level 190)

HP: 374,800,000/420,000,000

[Half-King Demon] (Sage, Level 200)

HP: 454,800,000/500,000,000

As he looked at their status, Adam's face turned grave. This was much worse than he initially thought. A Higher Demon was the equivalent of a hero, while a Demon King was a Legend Rank.

The Half-King among them was the leader, and for him to have such a title, it meant he was on the verge of reaching the next rank, and become as strong as a Legend. Those were definitely terrible news for them.

Battling against Heroes was already hard enough, only the few strongest Level 150 Gold Ranks could rival against the weakest of Heroes. A Level 170 Hero could already be said to be invincible against everyone who came in Providence, so a Legend would easily obliterate anyone

Adam could feel that he had already used more than a third of his Aura to stall the demons for a few seconds and only deal them so much damage. He looked around, and saw that although there remained a lot of people, most had already left his sight, and that included his guild.

Adam looked back toward the demons with a small inaudible sigh, holding them any longer was impossible. He had been able to stun and damage them all to this extent only thanks to his first attack which had taken them by surprise.

If he tried to do it again, they would protect themselves and stunning such a large amount of demons would definitely be impossible Still, he couldn't just let them die.

Adam's flying speed was very fast, for two reasons. First, his Concepts. His Space Concept made flying free to him, and his Wind Concept allowed him to use the surrounding wind to go even faster. Secondly, was the Blood Tower, which made him 5 times faster.

He flew near the demons and punched the air toward them. A tornado quickly created itself and headed toward the demons. Adam knew it wasn't going to do much damage, if any, but the dust on the ground flew in the tornado and blurred it, making it impossible to see through it.

Then, he began flying in a random direction. They had definitely looked at his own status, and he had most certainly become their prime target since he was so strong despite being only a Silver Rank.

And as expected, as he started flying away, the demons did not attack those below, but began chasing after Adam.
