Chapter 267: A Silenced Caster Is Worse Than a Dog
[You have cast 'Purifying Light' 3 times consecutively on 'Dark Archmage Saba'. The purification judgment for this skill will be conducted separately.]
[The mental attribute difference between you and Saba is -5, the base success rate is 45%.
You have 1 point of renown, increasing the probability by 10%, for a final success rate of 55%.]
[Judgment failed.]
[Judgment successful.]
[Judgment successful.]
With a success rate barely over half, yet only one failure and two successes, two random pieces of equipment on Saba were forcibly decomposed.
One was her skirt, which didn't really cover much anyway, and the other was a pair of long stockings on her legs.
Crucially, her staff was not decomposed.
From Saba's perspective, the forced decomposition of these two pieces of equipment had almost no impact on her strength, but it caused unparalleled mental damage.
High exposure was Saba's own choice, a fashion outside the Kingdom of Yisu, but to have her pure white panties forcibly exposed along with it—this was something she, a Dark Witch devoted to Lord Dares, could absolutely not accept!
"Mr. Cheng Tian, you..."
Goddess Fina's face showed an indescribable expression. She flapped her wings, creating some distance between herself, Cheng Tian, and his Crystal Eyeball.
Even though she knew the opponent was an extremely evil invader of the Kingdom of Yisu, seeing the very revealing lower half of her body, the kind goddess's rationality could accept it, but emotionally, it still made her choose to despise Cheng Tian, this great villain who specialized in attacking people's lower regions!
Cheng Tian didn't know how to explain. The skill description said the affected equipment was random, but out of three activations, two succeeded and both targeted the lower regions. This wasn't something he could control!
However, he had to admit, Saba's legs were quite plump. When she landed, he could even see a noticeable jiggle of her leg muscles, a kind of healthy beauty.
And interestingly, Bazett, who also saw this scene, showed an expression of envy.
Due to years of training and job requirements, her thighs had almost no excess flesh that could jiggle; they were all incredibly firm, distinctly defined muscles. From a work perspective, there was no problem, but from the perspective of femininity, it made Bazett feel inferior once again.
Further back, the orangutan was pouting and Woo woo woo patting the skeleton kicker's thigh bone. The skeleton kicker also rubbed his other leg bone twice, then gestured twice at Saba's fleshy legs from afar, his upper and lower jaws clacking rapidly and frequently, as if laughing.
Feeling the coolness of her lower body due to the lack of clothing, yet also directly feeling the scorching heat of the surrounding lava because of it, Saba first froze for a moment, then a more powerful magic suddenly erupted from her body—
Magic Burst!
In the Yisu world view, both warriors and mages usually master "burst" abilities. Although their manifestations differ slightly, they typically represent a sudden surge in combat power for a short period.
As a Dark Archmage, Saba's Magic Burst clearly also contained the power of demonic factors.
Two large summoning circles emerged from the ground on either side of Saba, and then two enormous floating heads drilled out of the circles.
Both heads were covered in horns, signifying their demonic nature. One was entirely red, its skin and breath carrying the scorching heat of flames. The other was entirely blue, instantly making one feel incredibly cool upon its appearance—
Flame Head Omulgen & Ice Head Yogurekus!
"My strongest familiars! Dig out the eyes of this damned traitor! Tear all of them, including the goddess, to shreds!!!!!"
Saba, now completely insane, let out a high-pitched shriek while still maintaining the cool state of her lower body.
Rituals, missions—everything was thrown to the back of her mind at this moment. Everyone who had seen her pure body, which she had preserved for Dares, male or female, must die!
However, Saba's answer was a blue jewel that fell in an arc.
With the authority to synchronize with the Black Tower's magic, Saba, who had gained the ability to float, had a thought. The Ice Head on her right side opened its mouth and spat out a series of rapidly firing ice spikes.
The ice spikes hit the blue sphere, but what followed was a strong and powerful magical tremor.
In an instant, Saba, who had initially worn an angry expression, suddenly changed drastically. Because as she was affected by the magical shockwave, she felt her spirit completely severed from her magic. It was as if a temporary barrier had been installed between them, preventing them from touching each other in the slightest, and she herself plummeted directly from mid-air.
The two demonic heads, Ice and Flame, also fell.
Mana Lock! A ten-second Mana Lock!
The source was the sphere that the Ice Head had just shattered. It was a blue Tremor Orb, condensed by Cheng Tian using innocent souls, randomly gifted during the Three-Sphere Spell's entry!
When the target of the tremor was a unit other than a boss template, the Blue Tremor Orb's effect was mana drain and forced knockdown. But when the target was a boss template, the mana drain effect was gone, replaced by a 10-second Mana Lock status.
And for a caster, this was incredibly fatal!
The two demonic heads Saba summoned were special, because when all three were present, a linkage effect called "Merciless Trio" would appear. At this time, the health bars of the three would be completely linked and synchronized. As a result, the templates of the two familiars would also synchronize with their summoner, Saba, also becoming boss templates.
Saba could even fuse with any familiar, becoming a monster pilot and unleashing more powerful combined spells.
However, all of this required magic and skills to support it.
And facing a silenced caster, unable to use any conventional spells, how terrifying was Bazett, who had activated Giant's Wrath and dealt 20% additional damage to all spell-casting units?
Just one punch, and Saba would die.
Bazett sprang into action, whistling past.
The shadow of death had already enveloped Saba, who was unable to make any resistance.
For her enemies, Bazett never had any mercy, no matter how delicate and appealing the opponent might be—
However, at that moment, an ice spike emerged without warning from the gap between Saba's legs, who couldn't stand up, breaking through the ground from bottom to top. Its sharp, cold edge obstructed Bazett's vision.
Although Bazett threw a punch, directly shattering the ice spike, she was inevitably disrupted. What followed was an object that seemed to tear through the air, streaking towards her and directly hitting the Berserker's Gauntlet crossed over her chest, emitting a crisp impact sound.
At the same time, Saba felt her collar tighten, and she was pulled directly backward without any resistance.
"Truly an eyesore, Saba. With such a performance, do you still dare to call yourself Lord Dares's right-hand man?"
Axe-man Kisyugar, who had landed with a spinning motion by leveraging his Asura Battle Axe, and Spear-woman Epona, who had been teleported with her brother, both showed expressions of disdain or mockery.
