My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 178 - 139: Battle to the Death
After defeating Arenia, the White Dragon Mage Aiel did not choose to confront the more challenging Silver String Poetic Ranger Benest.
Instead, he shifted his gaze from the corpse of the Half-Elf Ranger to the relatively weaker Druid Maiden Sulfur Vine.
As a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, a sharp ice spike formed in his hand once more!
Just as he was about to throw it at the Druid Maiden, he noticed Bigby’s Hand suddenly turning into black smoke.
’Hmm? What’s going on?’
’That crazy woman left?’
Just as he hadn’t figured out the situation.
Suddenly!
The White Dragon Mage Aiel felt a binding sensation, as if he was sinking into a swamp, coming from all directions.
"Damn it! It’s you again, Raine!"
The familiar feeling made Aiel immediately understand that it was surely that young man Raine’s doing; he quickly turned his head to look.
Seeing Raine charging at him again from the side, Aiel instantly felt a surge of anger upon seeing an old enemy.
Just a moment ago, were it not for that crazy woman helping him, he would likely have died under this young man’s hammer.
As Aiel was about to shoot the ice spike at him, he recalled Raine’s bizarre Reflection Spell at the last moment.
This hesitation made Aiel ultimately decide not to throw the ice spike.
And this very hesitation.
Made him lose the initiative in battle.
Because Benest on the side also noticed the disappearance of Bigby’s Hand, along with the death of his Half-Elf Ranger companion, he had already aimed at Aiel and lightly plucked the silver strings.
At this moment, three sharp silver crescents, vertical like scimitars, skimmed the ground and shot towards Aiel, who was trapped by the Earth Binding Spell.
"Boom!"
This forced Aiel to confront the silver crescent blades with the ice spike in front of him, and a violent explosion of two types of energy took place immediately.
Benest’s attack did not cause Aiel much harm, but it provided the best opportunity for Raine.
"Bang!!"
Just after defending against the Silver String Slash, Aiel was violently hit by Raine’s Obsidian Shield, but Aiel reacted swiftly, immediately clutching Raine’s shield tightly with dragon claws.
At the same time, Aiel’s legs struggled to maintain balance, thigh muscles tense. The hard flagstone pavement was plowed with a long trench as if it had been plowed over.
But the enormous power disparity made him like a small lizard climbing the shield, being continuously pushed back by Raine.
If nothing unexpected occurred, he would be smashed into the castle wall in the next second, repeating past mistakes.
"Ah!!!"
Seeing Aiel scamper a meter away while gripping onto the shield, he moved to Raine’s side.
Then, like two grappling pythons, the two instantly engaged in close quarters combat.
Raine raised the hammer high and swung it toward Aiel’s head, but Aiel lifted the fleshy wings on his back, which seemed like two soft arms resisting Raine’s right arm.
At the same time, his claws slashed down fiercely.
"Screech~~"
A shrill crash rang out from between the claws and shield.
But Aiel found that his mutated claws seemed almost broken by the immense force.
’Damn it! How is his power so strong!’
He sharply realized that Raine’s power was stronger than before.
In reality, in the second phase of Gigantification, Raine’s power increased by 50%, nearly reaching 15 points, comparable to the strength of an advanced Barbarian Classes.
Even though the White Dragon Mage received a substantial increase in Strength, Body, and Agility after mutation.
But purely in terms of strength, he was roughly comparable to Raine’s first phase of Gigantification.
Facing the second phase Gigantification, he was undoubtedly at a disadvantage!
Seeing this, Benest on the side showed a surprised expression, immediately switching his planned Silver String Slash to Silver String Guardian.
Originally, he thought the exchange between Raine and Aiel would be brief and he could follow up with Silver String Slash.
But unexpectedly, the two were grappling together, and Raine was clearly in a superior position.
Under such circumstances, long-range attack spells were clearly inappropriate and could inadvertently harm allies.
Thus, in the next moment, Raine suddenly had a layer of silvery Moonlight Shield.
Which made Aiel’s claw attacks increasingly ineffective.
Then, Aiel suddenly lost balance and fell backward.
"Bang!!"
Raine seized the opportunity, his Steel Boots kicking fiercely into Aiel’s abdomen, sending him flying.
However, Aiel’s upper torso was flung away at an angle, but his lower body was like a dragged long rope, bouncing back like a bungee jump.
As it turned out, several thick green vines were tightly wrapped around Aiel’s ankles.
It was the work of Miss Druid Sulfur Vine.
"Armor-Piercing Strike!!"
The square head of the Cold Steel Warhammer slammed hard into Aiel’s abdomen!
"Bang!"
This time, Aiel was struck flying. From the rear view, a fist-sized bulge protruded from his spine, showcasing the immense power.
But at this moment, as blood spewed wildly from the mouth, the airborne White Dragon Mage Aiel’s face showed a mix of survival joy and surprise!
’The Earth Binding Spell has ended!’
This caused him to frantically flap his fleshy wings, rapidly ascending five or six meters into the air.
At this moment, Raine’s gaze toward the airborne White Dragon Mage sharpened!
Both hands gripping the handle of Thorn’s Hammer behind his back, muscles bulging, he became like a Strong Bow being drawn tight.
